2.1.6                     Lead Program.  As of the Effective Date, the first Development Candidate Specifically Directed against an Available Target (excluding ICOS and PD-1 solely with respect to Collaboration Candidates that are Immune Activators) for which an IND is filed and which Jounce elects to advance shall be deemed the “Lead Program” and such Collaboration Target shall be the “Lead Collaboration Target”.  For the avoidance of doubt, at the time of designation of the Lead Program, the remaining Collaboration Targets shall thereafter continue to be “Collaboration Targets”.

 

2.1.7                     Lead Program Substitution.  In the event that Jounce delivers the Lead Program Data Package to Celgene, Celgene may (i) exercise its Lead Program Option for such Lead Program and enter into a Celgene Lead Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement, (ii) notify Jounce that it declines to exercise its Lead Program Option for such Lead Program, and upon delivery of such notification Celgene’s Lead Program Option shall expire, or (iii) substitute the “Lead Program” that is described in such Lead Program Data Package for a different Other Program in accordance with and under the following conditions described in this Section 2.1.7 (any such substitution, the “Lead Program Substitution”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Celgene shall only be permitted to exercise its Lead Program Substitution right once during the Research Term.

 

(a)                                                                           If, at the time of delivery of such Lead Program Data Package, Celgene has not exercised any Other Program Option, then Celgene may, instead of exercising its Lead Program Option under Section 3.1.3 for the Program described in such Lead Program Data Package, in its Option Exercise Notice: (A) elect to designate the Lead Program described in such Lead Program Data Package (the “Former Lead Program”) as the First Other Program (at which time such Former Lead Program shall thereafter be deemed the “First Other Program” for purposes of Celgene’s Option Cap and for entry into the applicable Jounce Lead Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement with related economics as further described in Section 6.4.4) and elect to enter into a Jounce Lead Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement for the Former Lead Program as the First Other Program in accordance with Section 3.1.7, provided that if Celgene does not elect to designate the Former Lead Program as the First Other Program in such Option Exercise Notice as described herein, then the Lead Program Option shall automatically expire; and (B) designate a replacement Collaboration Target from the Other Programs in existence as of the date of delivery of such Option Exercise Notice to advance as the Lead Collaboration Target.  After the occurrence of the Lead Program Substitution in accordance with this Section 2.1.7(a), Jounce may in its sole discretion advance such replacement Lead Collaboration Target as the Lead Program in accordance with this Agreement, including Section 4.2.5, up to obtaining an IND Approval[***] and, if Celgene delivers a timely Option Exercise Notice for such replacement Lead Program, Celgene shall be deemed to have exercised its Lead Program Option with respect to such replacement Lead Program, the Parties shall enter into a Celgene Lead Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement for such replacement Lead Program and Celgene shall pay the amount set forth in Section 6.4.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Celgene may postpone exercise of its Lead Program Option with respect to such replacement Lead Program until delivery of an [***] (and for the corresponding period ending on the Data Package Verification Date) for such replacement Lead Program.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Celgene shall only be permitted to exercise the Lead Program Substitution described in this Section 2.1.7(a) one (1) time.

(c)                                                                            In the event that Celgene exercises its Option for an Additional Bundled Program in accordance with Section 3.1.6(b), the Parties understand and agree that such Additional Bundled Program shall not count as a distinct Program from the corresponding Bundled Program solely for purposes of counting towards the Option Cap with respect to Celgene’s permitted exercise of up to a maximum of six (6) Options pursuant to Section 3.1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Additional Bundled Program for which Celgene exercises its Option shall otherwise be treated as an Other Program for purposes of this Agreement, including for the avoidance of doubt (i) the triggering events for delivery of an IND Data Package for such Other Program, and (ii) Celgene’s opt-in, royalty and milestone payment obligations for such Program pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement, as if such Additional Bundled Program were an Other Program. For example:

 

(i)                                     If the Available Target for the first Other Program for which Celgene exercises its Option is part of the same Bundled Target Group as the Available Target for the Lead Program then, notwithstanding the fact that such first Other Program shall not count towards the Option Cap, such Option exercise shall be for the “First Other Program” hereunder, the Parties shall enter into a Jounce Lead Co-Development and Co-Commercialization for such Other Program, and Celgene shall pay the amount set forth in Section 6.4.4.

 

(ii)                                  If the Available Target for the second Other Program for which Celgene exercises its Option is part of the same Bundled Target Group as either the Available Target for the Lead Program or the Available Target for the First Other Program (each of which Options have been previously been exercised by Celgene) then, notwithstanding

the fact that such second Other Program shall not count towards the Option Cap, such Option exercise shall be for the second “Other Program” hereunder, the Parties shall enter into a Celgene Lead Co-Development and Co-Commercialization for such Other Program, and Celgene shall pay the amount set forth in Section 6.4.5.

 

(iii)                               If Celgene exercises its Option for any Other Program after it has exercised its Option for three (3) Other Programs (or four (4) Other Programs where Jounce has terminated the ICOS Activator Program) and either (A) the Available Target for the next Other Program is part of the same Bundled Target Group for any of the previously exercised Other Programs or (B) the Available Target for the such additional Other Program is not part of a Bundled Target Group for which an Option has previously been exercised, but Celgene has not yet reached the Option Cap (because one (1) or more of such previous Option exercises constituted a Bundled Program and therefore did not count towards the Option Cap), then, the Parties shall enter into a Celgene Lead Co-Development and Co-Commercialization for such Other Program, and Celgene shall pay the amount set forth in Section 6.4.6.

 

(iv)                              For two Bundled Targets (e.g Target A and Target B) that are in the same Bundled Target Group, if Celgene has previously exercised an Option for the Program for Immune Activating Collaboration Candidates for Target A as the First Other Program, then subsequently (x) Celgene shall be entitled to exercise an Option for the Program for Immune Suppressing Collaboration Candidates for Target A, and the two (2) separate Programs (one for Immune Activating Collaboration Candidates and one for Immune Suppressing Collaboration Candidates) for Target B, and upon Celgene’s exercise of each such Option, Celgene shall pay first an Option payment under 6.4.5 (if no other Options have been exercised in the interim), and then shall pay two (2) Option payments under Section 6.4.6 (for the subsequent two (2) Programs for which it exercises its Option), and (y) the exercise of such four (4) Options shall only count as one (1) Option exercise towards the Option Cap.

 

3.1.7                     Option Exercise; Lapsed Targets.

 

(a)                                                                           On a Program-by-Program basis, during the applicable Option Term, Celgene shall have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise the Option for such Program in its sole discretion by delivering written notice of such exercise (the “Option Exercise Notice”) to Jounce.  Within [***] following each Option Exercise Notice delivery, and subject to this Section 3.1.7 and Section 3.2, each of Celgene (or an Affiliate designated by Celgene) and Jounce agree to enter into the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement described below in this Section 3.1.7 with respect to such Program and will update the exhibits and schedules thereto.  On a Collaboration Target-by-Collaboration Target basis, if Celgene fails to provide its Option Exercise Notice with respect to each of the Immune Activating and the Immune Suppressing Program for such Collaboration Target before the expiration of the applicable Option Term, then such Collaboration Target for which the applicable Collaboration Candidates are Specifically Directed shall be deemed a “Lapsed Target”.  The Parties shall enter into (a) for the ICOS Activator Program, a Jounce Lead Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement, (b) for the PD-1 Activator Program, the PD-1 License Agreement, (c) subject to Section 2.1.7, for the Lead Program, a Celgene Lead Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement, (d) subject to Section 2.1.7 and in accordance with Section 3.1.4, for the First Other Program for which Celgene exercises an

(b)                                                                           Celgene shall not have the right to exercise its Option with respect to any Lapsed Program or Lapsed Target, and no Lapsed Program or Lapsed Target shall be subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

(b)                                                                           IP Ownership.  The Patent Committee shall review and discuss ownership of Inventions and Patents thereon, specifically with respect to the application of the terms of Section 7.2; provided that, upon prior written consent by both of the Parties, such consent to be provided in each Party’s sole discretion, the Patent Committee may allocate ownership of a particular item of intellectual property, even if such allocation is not in accordance with the terms of Section 7.2.  In the event the Patent Committee cannot agree on a matter regarding ownership of an item of intellectual property, and Executive Officers are unable to resolve such matter, then either Party may submit such dispute to the courts in accordance with Section 12.7.

If the Competitive Program Party notifies the other Party within such [***] period that it intends to terminate, or cause its relevant Affiliate to terminate, such Competitive Program, the Competitive Program Party or its relevant Affiliate, shall (i) terminate such Competitive Program as quickly as possible, and in any event within [***] (unless applicable Law requires a longer termination period) after the Competitive Program Party delivers such notice to the other Party; and (ii) confirm to the other Party when such termination has been completed, and the Competitive Program Party’s continuation of the Competitive Program during such [***] (or, as required by applicable Law, longer) period shall not constitute a breach of the Competitive Program Party’s exclusivity obligations under Sections 5.1 and 5.2.  If the Competitive Program Party notifies the other Party within such [***] period that it intends to divest such Competitive Program, the Competitive Program Party or its relevant Affiliate shall use all reasonable efforts to effect such divestiture as quickly as possible, and in any event within [***] after the Competitive Program Party delivers such notice to the other Party, and shall confirm to the other Party when such divestiture has been completed.  If the Competitive Program Party or its relevant Affiliate fails to complete such divestiture within such [***] period, but has used reasonable efforts to effect such divestiture within such [***] period, then, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, such [***] period shall be extended for such additional reasonable period thereafter as is necessary to enable such Competitive Program to be in fact divested, not to exceed an additional [***]; provided that such additional [***] period shall be extended for such period as is necessary to obtain any governmental or regulatory approvals required to complete such divestiture if the Competitive Program Party or its relevant Affiliate is using good faith efforts to obtain such approvals.  The Competitive Program Party’s continuation of the Competitive Program during such divestiture period shall not constitute a breach of the Competitive Program Party’s exclusivity obligations under Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

(a)                                                                           Prior to Celgene’s exercise of the Option for a Program, if the Patent Committee determines in accordance with Section 7.8.2 that the Parties should obtain one or more licenses from one or more Third Parties for the activities described in Section 7.8.1, and the Parties agree with such determination, then Jounce shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain a license to such Third Party intellectual property rights (such license, a “Third Party License”), with the right to sublicense such Third Party intellectual property rights to the other Party to the extent necessary for the other Party to exercise its rights and conduct its obligations under this Agreement or any Development & Commercialization Agreement.  Prior to Celgene’s exercise of the Option for a Program, Celgene may elect to participate or be consulted in any negotiations for such Third Party License and, if Celgene will bear any obligation under such resulting Third Party License or share costs under Section 7.8.5 or the terms of any Development & Commercialization Agreement with respect to such Third Party License, then Celgene must approve the terms of such Third Party License prior to Jounce executing such Third Party License.  With respect to potential licenses from [***] as described in Section 7.8.1, prior to Jounce initiating a campaign with [***] to discover Antibodies that may become Collaboration Candidates in an Other Program, the Parties agree that the milestone payments and royalty payments that may be owed to [***] as a result of Manufacturing, Developing and/or Commercializing such Collaboration Candidates will be allocated between the Parties if Celgene subsequently exercises its Option with respect to such Other Program and enters into a Development & Collaboration Agreement with respect thereto, as follows: (i) such payments arising from Development anywhere in the Territory as part of the Parties’ joint global development will be deemed Worldwide Development Costs; (ii) such payments arising from Development or Commercialization in the ROW Territory by Celgene, its Affiliates or Sublicensees for the purpose of ROW Administration will be paid by Celgene, provided that Celgene shall be entitled to reductions in Celgene’s royalty payment obligations to Jounce in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement as if such payments were for licenses under Third Party Patents; and (iii) such payments arising as a result of Commercialization in the United States will be treated as COGs under the applicable Development & Collaboration Agreement.

 

(b)                                                                           If the Parties do not agree with the Patent Committee’s determination to obtain a Third Party License, then prior to Celgene’s exercise of the Option for a Program, Celgene shall have the right to obtain such Third Party License, at its sole cost and expense.  If Jounce obtains a Third Party License without the agreement of Celgene, then the rights granted to Jounce under such Third Party License shall not be deemed to be Controlled by Jounce; provided, however that, after Celgene exercises an Option, such rights shall only be deemed Controlled by Jounce upon Celgene’s written consent.  In the event that Celgene gives such consent, Celgene shall reimburse a reasonable, applicable portion of amounts previously

paid by Jounce to the Third Party licensor for such Third Party License prior to the date of Celgene’s consent to such Third Party License, and Section 7.8.5 shall apply.  If Jounce obtains a Third Party License under Section 7.8.3(a), and Celgene does not provide its consent to such Third Party License as provided in Section 7.8.3(a), Jounce shall be solely responsible for all fees, expenses and royalties associated with the exercise of Jounce’s rights under such Third Party License and Celgene shall not have any sublicense under such Third Party License.

 

7.8.4                     Post-Option.  Following the exercise of the Option for a Program and subject to the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement, if Celgene reasonably determines that any Third Party intellectual property rights may be necessary for the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of a Collaboration Candidate or Diagnostic Product that is the subject of research, Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization efforts under this Agreement or such Development & Commercialization Agreement, Celgene shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain a license to such Third Party intellectual property, with the right to sublicense, in order to permit Celgene to conduct its obligations and exercise its rights under such Development & Commercialization Agreement.  The terms and conditions involved in obtaining such rights shall be determined at Celgene’s sole discretion and expense (subject to Section 7.8.5); provided, however, that if Jounce would be required to practice such Third Party intellectual property rights to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Development & Commercialization Agreement, Celgene shall structure such Third Party License to allow Celgene to grant to Jounce a sublicense thereunder.  The costs of such Third Party License shall be borne as provided in Section 7.8.5.

 

7.8.5                     Costs.  The costs associated with the exercise of rights under any Third Party License obtained under Section 7.8 shall be borne as follows:

 

(a)                                 Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, the costs associated with negotiating and obtaining such Third Party License shall be borne in accordance with Section 7.8.5(b), provided that if such Third Party License is obtained with respect to a Program that is subject to a Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement, such costs shall be included as an Allowable Expense in accordance with the terms of the applicable Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement; and

 

(b)                                                                           If (i) the Parties agree to obtain a Third Party License or if Celgene provides consent to a Third Party License as provided in Section 7.8.3, or (ii) if Celgene elects to obtain a Third Party License pursuant to Section 7.8.4, then following the execution of such Third Party License (or Celgene’s consent, whichever is later), all fees, expenses and royalties incurred by Celgene that are associated with the exercise of rights under such Third Party License shall be borne as described in the royalty anti-stacking provisions described in the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement.

10.1.1              the [***] under this Agreement;

 

10.1.2              any [***] under this Agreement; or

 

10.1.3              the [***] described in this Section 10.1.3;

 

[***]

 

10.2                              Indemnification by Jounce.  Jounce shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Celgene, its Affiliates and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Celgene Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Third Party Damages to the extent arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly, from any Claim based upon:

10.2.3              the [***] described in this Section 10.2.3;

 

[***].

 

10.3                              Notice of Claims.  A Claim to which indemnification applies under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 shall be referred to herein as an “Indemnification Claim.”  If the Indemnitee intends to claim indemnification under this Article 10, the Party claiming indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing, promptly upon becoming aware of an Indemnification Claim, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the Indemnification Claim; provided, that an Indemnification Claim in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a Third Party as to which indemnification shall be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced (provided that the Indemnitee is aware of such commencement); and provided further, that the failure by an Indemnitee to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.

provisions of Section 10.3.  If the Litigation Conditions are satisfied, then the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume and control the defense of the Claim, at its own expense with counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, by delivering written notice of its assumption of such defense to the Indemnitee within [***] of its receipt of notice of such Claim from the Indemnitor (but the Indemnitor shall in any event have the right to assume and control the defense of a Claim that initially sought injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) from the Indemnitee when the only remaining dispute in such matter is the determination of non-injunctive relief or when the only remaining relief sought by the Third Party in such matter is non-injunctive relief, whichever is first); provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor, if (a) representation of the Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such Indemnitee and Indemnitor, (b) the Indemnitor has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel, (c) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor, or (d) at any time the Litigation Conditions are not satisfied with respect to such Claim.  If the Indemnitor assumes and controls the defense of such Claim, the Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised of the status of the Claim and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to otherwise monitor such Claim at its sole cost and expense.  If the Claim seeks injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) against or from the Indemnitee or if the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of the Claim as described in this Section 10.4, the Indemnitee shall be permitted to assume and control the defense of such Claim (but shall have no obligation to do so) and in such event shall be entitled to settle or compromise the Indemnification Claims in its sole and reasonable discretion, provided that if the Indemnitee is entitled to assume the defense of the Claim pursuant to this Section 10.4 solely because the Claim seeks injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) against or from the Indemnitee, then the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise such Indemnification Claims in any manner that involves the payment of monetary damages or has an adverse effect on the Indemnitor’s rights or interests (including any rights under this Agreement or the Equity Purchase Agreement or the scope or enforceability of any Patents or Know-How licensed by one Party to another Party pursuant to this Agreement or a Development & Commercialization Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent the Indemnitor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay.  If the Indemnitor has assumed and controls the defense of the Claim in accordance with this Section 10.4, (i) the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) the Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim in any manner that would result in the payment of amounts by the Indemnitee, impose any other obligation on the Indemnitee or otherwise have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s rights or interests (including any rights under this Agreement or the Equity Purchase Agreement or the scope or enforceability of any Patents or Know-How licensed by one Party to another Party pursuant to this Agreement or a Development & Commercialization Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee. In each case, the Party that is not controlling the defense of any Claim shall reasonably cooperate with the Party that is controlling the defense of such Claim, at the non-controlling Party’s expense and shall make available to the controlling Party all pertinent information under the control of the non-controlling Party, which information shall be subject to Article 8. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of

11.2                              Termination for Breach.

 

11.2.1              Material Breach.  Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, this Agreement and the rights granted herein may be terminated by either Party (a) on a Program-by-Program basis prior to Celgene’s exercise of its Option for such Program, for the Material Breach by the other Party of this Agreement with respect to such Program, or (b) on a Program-by-Program basis after Celgene’s exercise of its Option for such Program, if a Development & Commercialization Agreement for such Program is terminated for Material Breach by a Party; provided in each of (a) or (b) that the breaching Party has not cured such breach within [***] after the date of written notice to the breaching Party of such breach (or [***] in the case of a breach as a result of non-payment of any amounts due under this Agreement or a Development & Commercialization Agreement, as applicable) (the “Cure Period”), which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail and shall state the non-breaching Party’s intention to terminate this Agreement with respect to a given Program, pursuant to this Section 11.2.1 with respect to such Program.  For clarity, but subject to Section 11.2.2, the Cure Period for any allegation made in good faith as to a Material Breach under this Agreement with respect to a given Program for events described in Sections 11.2.1(a) or (b) will run from the date that written notice was first provided to the breaching Party by the non-breaching Party.  Any such termination of this Agreement with respect to a given Program under this Section 11.2.1 shall become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such Cure Period, or, if such breach is not susceptible to cure within the Cure Period, then, the non-breaching Party’s right of termination shall be suspended only if and for so long as the breaching Party has provided to the non-breaching Party a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure and such plan is acceptable to the non-breaching Party, and the breaching Party commits to and carries out such plan as provided to the non-breaching Party.  For the avoidance of doubt, termination of any particular Program(s) pursuant to this Section 11.2.1 shall not terminate (i) this Agreement with respect to any other Program(s) or (ii) any Development & Commercialization Agreement for any other Program.  The Parties understand and agree that the totality of this Agreement with respect to a given Program, and the totality of the circumstances with respect to this Agreement with respect to a given Program, will be taken into account and assessed as a whole for purposes of determining whether a breach is material under this Agreement with respect to a given Program.

 

11.2.2              Disagreement as to Material Breach.  If the Parties reasonably and in good faith disagree as to whether there has been a Material Breach pursuant to either Section 11.2.1(a) or 11.2.1(b), then subject to Section 12.7: (a) the Party that disputes that there has been a Material Breach may contest the allegation by referring such matter, within [***] following such notice of alleged Material Breach for resolution to the Executive Officers, who shall meet promptly to discuss the matter, and determine, within [***] following referral of such matter, whether or not a Material Breach has occurred pursuant to Section 11.2.1(a) or 11.2.1(b), as applicable; (b) the relevant Cure Period with respect thereto will be tolled from the date the breaching Party notifies the non-breaching Party of such dispute and through the resolution of such dispute in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (provided, that if such dispute relates to payment, the Cure Period will only apply with respect to payment of disputed amounts, and not with respect to undisputed amounts), (c) it is understood and agreed that during the pendency of such dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder) and (d) if it is finally and conclusively determined that the breaching Party committed

such Material Breach, then the breaching Party shall have the right to cure such Material Breach after such determination within the Cure Period.

 

11.2.3              If the Executive Officers are unable to resolve a dispute within such [***] period after it is referred to them, the matter will be resolved as provided in Section 12.7.

 

11.3                              Voluntary Termination.  Celgene may terminate this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to one or more Programs upon [***] prior written notice to Jounce hereunder at any time (it being understood and agreed that Celgene shall be entitled to terminate upon [***] written notice at any time it reasonably determines that such termination is necessary to comply with any Antitrust Law), except that Celgene shall not have the right to terminate any Program under this Section 11.3 for which Celgene has exercised its Option.  For the avoidance of doubt, any such termination of any particular Program(s) pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall not terminate any other Program(s), and such terminated Program shall be deemed a “Lapsed Program”.

 

11.4                              Termination for Bankruptcy.  If either Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over all or substantially all of its property, files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or has any such petition filed against it which is not dismissed, discharged, bonded or stayed within [***] after the filing thereof, the other Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety effective immediately upon written notice to such Party, provided that this Agreement may only be terminated in its entirety pursuant to this Section 11.4 in connection with the termination of all Development & Commercialization Agreements (if any), executed hereunder.  In connection therewith, the provisions of Section 7.1.5 shall apply.

 

11.5                              Effects of Expiration or Termination.

 

11.5.1              Termination by Jounce Pursuant to Section 11.2, or 11.4, or by Celgene Pursuant to Section 11.3.  In the event of termination of this Agreement in part with respect to any one or more Programs conducted hereunder, or in its entirety (i) by Celgene pursuant to Section 11.3 or (ii) by Jounce pursuant to Sections 11.2, or 11.4, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the effective date of such termination:

(b)                                                                           all rights (including all Options granted to Celgene hereunder) and licenses granted herein to Celgene with respect to all terminated Programs shall terminate, Celgene shall cease any and all research, Development, Manufacture and Commercialization activities with respect to all terminated Programs and Collaboration Candidates that are the subject of such terminated Programs, and all rights in such terminated Targets and Collaboration Candidates granted by Jounce to Celgene shall revert to Jounce and, with respect to Programs that have become Lapsed Programs in accordance with Section 11.3, the applicable license under Section 7.2.3 with respect to Lapsed Programs shall apply; and

(a)                                                                           with respect to each such Program for which Celgene is exercising its termination right, and for which the applicable Option Term has not yet expired as of the effective date of such termination, Celgene shall be entitled to exercise the Options set forth in Section 3.1, provided that in the case of each corresponding Development & Commercialization Agreement that results from such Option exercise, all payments due to Jounce in each such agreement shall be reduced by all costs and losses as finally awarded to Celgene unless such termination of this Agreement is by Celgene pursuant to Section 11.2 for a breach of Sections 2.9, 3.1, ARTICLE 5, or 12.4, in which case Celgene shall have the right to take, as its exclusive remedy for such breach, one of the following three alternatives: (x) a reduction of all payments due to Jounce in each such agreement that results from such Option exercise by [***], (y) the reductions in payments for Celgene costs, losses and expenses described above, or (z) seek and recover all damages and other remedies available under applicable Law.

 

(b)                                                                           all Development & Commercialization Agreements previously entered into by the Parties for Programs for which Celgene exercised its Option shall continue in full force, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Development & Commercialization Agreements; and

termination provisions of this Article 11 are in addition to any other relief and remedies available to either Party under this Agreement and at Law.

(b)                                                                           with respect to any Programs that are the subject of executed Development & Commercialization Agreements remaining in effect, Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.2, 4, 6.9, 7 and 10 (to the extent applicable to claims arising after such expiration or termination to the extent a Party retains a license from the other Party to Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize Products, Collaboration Candidates, or Development Candidates thereafter), and Exhibit G;

 

provided that such survival shall be limited to any specific time periods set forth in such Articles and Sections, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event notice of termination of this Agreement is given prior to the achievement of any milestone set forth in the applicable Development & Commercialization Agreement, Celgene shall not be obligated to make any milestone payment to Jounce with respect to any milestone achieved following the notice of such termination.

 

11.6.3              Relationship to Other Agreements.  Termination of this Agreement with respect to a Program shall not affect in any way the terms or provisions of any then-existing executed Development & Commercialization Agreement for any Program that is the subject of such Development & Commercialization Agreement or, for termination of any Program, the Equity Purchase Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

12.1                              Severability.  If any one or more of the terms or provisions of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be void, invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction, such holding shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction and the term or provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement, unless the invalid or unenforceable term or provision is of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid or

12.10                       Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts with the same effect as if both Parties had signed the same document.  All such counterparts shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together, and shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a fax machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.  No Party hereto shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

 

12.11                       Equitable Relief.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any breach of this Agreement.  Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.  The Parties further agree not to raise as a defense or objection to the request or granting of such relief that any breach of this Agreement is or would be compensable by an award of money damages.

 

12.12                       Interpretation.

 

12.12.1                                                       Generally.  This Agreement has been diligently reviewed by and negotiated by and among the Parties, and in such negotiations each of them has been represented by competent counsel, and the final agreement contained herein, including the language whereby it has been expressed, represents the joint efforts of the Parties and their counsel.  Accordingly, in interpreting this Agreement or any provision hereof, no presumption shall apply against any Party as being responsible for the wording or drafting of this Agreement or any such provision, and ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement shall not be construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision.

 

12.12.2                                                       Definitions; Pronouns.  The definitions of the terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined and where a word or phrase is defined herein, each of its other grammatical forms shall have a corresponding meaning.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine, and neuter forms.  The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.”  The word “any” shall mean “any and all” unless otherwise clearly indicated by context.  The word “including,” “includes,” “include,” “for example,” and “e.g.” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  The word “or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive.  The words “hereof,” “herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

 

12.12.3                                                       Subsequent Events.  Unless the context requires otherwise, (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument, or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument, or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments,

12.12.5                                                       Prior Drafts.  No prior draft of this Agreement nor any course of performance or course of dealing shall be used in the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

 

12.12.6                                                       Independent Significance.  Although the same or similar subject matters may be addressed in different provisions of this Agreement, the Parties intend that, except as reasonably apparent on the face of the Agreement or as expressly provided in this Agreement, each such provision shall be read separately, be given independent significance and not be construed as limiting any other provision of this Agreement (whether or not more general or more specific in scope, substance or content).

 

12.13                       Further Assurances.  Each Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the expressly stated purposes and the clear intent of this Agreement.

Infringement described in Section 6.5.2(a), as applicable (such action or proceeding a “Co-Co Enforcement Proceeding”), to elect to so enforce such Celgene Co-Co Collaboration Patent or Celgene Patent, as applicable, in the applicable jurisdiction (or to settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Co-Co Competitive Infringement), provided however, that such period will be (i) more than [***] to the extent applicable Law prevents earlier enforcement of such Celgene Co-Co Collaboration Patent or Celgene Patent, as applicable, and provided further that if such period is extended because applicable Law prevents earlier enforcement, Celgene shall have until the date that is [***] following the date upon which applicable Law first permits such Co-Co Enforcement Proceeding, and (ii) less than [***] to the extent that a delay in bringing such Co-Co Enforcement Proceeding against such alleged Third Party infringer would limit or compromise the remedies (including monetary relief, and stay of regulatory approval) available against such alleged Third Party infringer.  In the event Celgene does not so elect to enforce or settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Co-Co Competitive Infringement before the first to occur of (A) the expiration of the applicable period of time set forth in above, or (B) [***] before the expiration of any time period under applicable Law, that would, if a Co-Co Enforcement Proceeding was not filed within such time period, limit or compromise the remedies available from such Co-Co Enforcement Proceeding, Celgene will so notify Jounce in writing and in the case where such other Party then desires to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable Celgene Co-Co Collaboration Patent or Celgene Patent with respect to such Co-Co Competitive Infringement in the applicable jurisdiction, Jounce will, subject to Section 6.5.2(e), thereafter have the right to commence such a suit or take such action to enforce the applicable Celgene Co-Co Collaboration Patent or Celgene Patent, as applicable (such action, a “Co-Co Step-In Proceeding”), at such other Party’s expense.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.5 to the contrary, Celgene shall have final decision-making authority as to representations made in any proceedings under this Section 6.5 with respect to any Celgene Independent Products.

(e)                                  Cooperation.  In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 6.5.2(a) through 6.5.2(f), each Party will provide to the Party enforcing any such rights under Sections 6.5.2(a) or 6.5.2(b), as applicable, reasonable assistance and cooperation in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense (subject to Section 6.5.4).  The enforcing Party will keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts.  The Parties will coordinate any Co-Co Enforcement Proceeding with respect to the Celgene Co-Co Collaboration Patent and Celgene Patents through the JSC and/or Patent Committee.

(f)                                   Agreement to Enforce.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.5, if either Party has a reasonable, good faith concern that the other Party’s exercise of its backup enforcement or defense rights with respect to any Patent as set forth in Section 6.5.2(a) and 6.5.2(b) would be detrimental to the overall patent protection of the Co-Co Products or related Co-Co Diagnostic Products, then such other Party shall not be permitted to enforce or defend such Patent without the prior consent of the objecting Party.

 

(g)                                  Settlement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.5, a settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section 6.5: (i) with respect to enforcement in the ROW Territory, may be entered into without the consent of the Party not bringing suit, and (ii) with respect to enforcement in the U.S., may only be entered into with the approval of the JSC; provided, however, that in any event, any such settlement, consent judgment or other disposition of any action or proceeding by a Party under this Article 6 shall not, without the consent of the Party not bringing suit, (a) impose any liability or obligation on the Party not bringing suit, (b) include the grant of any license, covenant or other rights to any Third Party that would conflict with or reduce the scope of the subject matter included under the licenses granted to the Party not bringing suit under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement, (c) conflict with or reduce the scope of the subject matter claimed in any Patent owned by the Party not bringing suit, or (d) adversely affect the interest of the Party not bringing suit in any material respect, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(j)                                    Opt-Out by Jounce.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Section 6.5.2, if Jounce opts-out of its rights and responsibilities under Section 4.4 of this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement, Celgene shall have the sole right to enforce Celgene Co-Co Product Patents and Celgene Patents in the U.S. and in the ROW Territory at its own expense, and shall have sole right of settlement of and enforcement suit with respect to such Patents, and Celgene shall retain [***] of remaining proceeds under 6.5.2(i)(ii) in the U.S. and in the ROW Territory.

rights regarding publication of the results arising pursuant to the conduct of activities under such agreement, and (iii) confidentiality obligations (collectively, (i) through (iii), the “Academic Essential Provisions”) in a manner that would result in any of the provisions covered by the Academic Essential Provisions in such existing agreement being less favorable to the contracting Party, or which would adversely affect any rights granted to Celgene or Jounce under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement or any Development & Commercialization Agreement following such amendment without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), or (b) the subject of a new agreement entered into between such Party and an academic institution or academic collaborator that contains terms and conditions with respect to the Academic Essential Provisions consistent with the terms and conditions of the agreements between such Party and an academic institution or academic collaborator entered into prior to the Effective Date of the Master Collaboration Agreement; provided that if any Academic Essential Provisions of an amendment described in (a) or an agreement described in (b) would not be consistent with the Academic Essential Provisions of the agreements between such Party and an academic institution or academic collaborator entered into prior to the Effective Date of the Master Collaboration Agreement, such Party shall not enter into such amendment or agreement on such inconsistent terms and conditions without the prior written consent of the other Party.

provided that such additional [***] period shall be extended for such period as is necessary to obtain any governmental or regulatory approvals required to complete such divestiture if the Competitive Program Party or its relevant Affiliate is using good faith efforts to obtain such approvals.  The Competitive Program Party’s continuation of the Competitive Program during such divestiture period shall not constitute a breach of the Competitive Program Party’s exclusivity obligations under Section 6.9.1.

 

(c)                                  Certain Permitted Activities.

 

(i)                                     The [***] shall not constitute a breach of Section 6.9.1.  Each Party shall report to the JSC on a Calendar Quarterly basis [***].

(ii)                                  The entry into any Funding Agreement by Celgene or its Affiliates, either before or after the Celgene Lead Effective Date, and the performance by Celgene or its Affiliates of any obligations thereunder shall not constitute a breach of Section 6.9; it being understood and agreed that any exercise of any options by Celgene or its Affiliates shall be subject to Section 6.9.1.

 

(iii)                               The restrictions set forth in Section 6.9.1, as applicable, shall not be deemed to prevent either Party or its respective Affiliates from (A) fulfilling its obligations under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement, and (B) engaging any subcontractors in accordance with Section 2.6 of this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement.

 

(iv)                              If a Change of Control occurs with respect to either Party with a Third Party and the Third Party already is conducting or is planning, as of the effective date of such Change of Control, to conduct activities on an existing program that would cause a Party or an Affiliate to violate Section 6.9, as applicable, (an “Acquirer Program”), then such Third Party will be permitted to continue such Acquirer Program and such initiation or continuation will not constitute a violation of Section 6.9, as applicable; provided that (i) none of the Collaboration IP or Joint Collaboration IP will be used in any Acquirer Program, (ii) none of the other Patents or Know-How licensed by either Party to the other Party pursuant to this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement will be used in any Acquirer Program, (iii) no Confidential Information of the other Party will be used in any such Acquirer Program, and (iv) the research or Development activities required under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement will be conducted separately from any research or development activities directed to such Acquirer Program, including by the maintenance of separate lab notebooks and records (password-protected to the extent kept on a computer network) and the use of separate personnel working on each of the activities under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement, and the activities covered under such Acquirer Program (except that this requirement shall not apply to personnel who have senior

(v)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Party shall have, at all times, the right to conduct cell-based screens directed toward cell phenotypes, even if such cell-based screens result in the unanticipated identification or discovery of the Co-Co Target, and such activities shall not constitute a violation of this Section 6.9.

 

(d)                                 Clinical Combinations.  Both Parties shall at all times have the right to supply any Biologic owned or Controlled (other than under any Development & Commercialization Agreement) by such Party that is then being Commercialized to a Third Party conducting a Clinical Trial for a combination therapy involving such supplied Biologic so long as such supply of such Biologic to such Third Party is at a then-prevailing market price.

[***].

 

7.3                               Notice of Claims.  A Claim to which indemnification applies under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall be referred to herein as an “Indemnification Claim.”  If the Indemnitee intends to claim indemnification under this Article 7, the Party claiming indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing, promptly upon becoming aware of an Indemnification Claim, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the Indemnification Claim; provided, that an Indemnification Claim in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a Third Party as to which indemnification shall be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced (provided that the Indemnitee is aware of such commencement); and provided further, that the failure by an Indemnitee to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.

 

7.4                               Indemnification Procedures.  If an Indemnitee receives written notice of a Claim that the Indemnitee believes may result in a claim for indemnification under this Article 7, such Indemnitee shall deliver an Indemnification Claim to the Indemnitor in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.3.  If the Litigation Conditions are satisfied, then the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume and control the defense of the Claim, at its own expense with counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, by delivering written notice of its assumption of such defense to the Indemnitee within [***] of its receipt of notice of such Claim from the Indemnitor (but the Indemnitor shall in any event have the right to assume and control the defense of a Claim that initially sought injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) from the Indemnitee when the only remaining dispute in such matter is the determination of non-injunctive relief or when the only remaining relief sought by the Third Party in such matter is non-injunctive relief, whichever is first); provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor, if (a) representation of the Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such Indemnitee

and Indemnitor, (b) the Indemnitor has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel, (c) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor, or (d) at any time the Litigation Conditions are not satisfied with respect to such Claim.  If the Indemnitor assumes and controls the defense of such Claim, the Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised of the status of the Claim and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to otherwise monitor such Claim at its sole cost and expense.  If the Claim seeks injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) against or from the Indemnitee or if the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of the Claim as described in this Section 7.4, the Indemnitee shall be permitted to assume and control the defense of such Claim (but shall have no obligation to do so) and in such event shall be entitled to settle or compromise the Indemnification Claims in its sole and reasonable discretion, provided that if the Indemnitee is entitled to assume the defense of the Claim pursuant to this Section 7.4 solely because the Claim seeks injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) against or from the Indemnitee, then the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise such Indemnification Claims in any manner that involves the payment of monetary damages or has an adverse effect on the Indemnitor’s rights or interests (including any rights under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement or the Equity Purchase Agreement or the scope or enforceability of any Patents or Know-How licensed by one Party to another Party pursuant to this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement, any other Development & Commercialization Agreement or the Master Collaboration Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent the Indemnitor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay.  If the Indemnitor has assumed and controls the defense of the Claim in accordance with this Section 7.4, (i) the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) the Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim in any manner that would result in the payment of amounts by the Indemnitee, impose any other obligation on the Indemnitee or otherwise have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s rights or interests (including any rights under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement or the Equity Purchase Agreement or the scope or enforceability of any Patents or Know-How licensed by one Party to another Party pursuant to this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement or any other Development & Commercialization Agreement, or the Master Collaboration Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee. In each case, the Party that is not controlling the defense of any Claim shall reasonably cooperate with the Party that is controlling the defense of such Claim, at the non-controlling Party’s expense and shall make available to the controlling Party all pertinent information under the control of the non-controlling Party, which information shall be subject to Article 8 of the Master Collaboration Agreement.  Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of Confidential Information of the other Party (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and other representatives of such Party to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

U.S. Administration Liabilities arising from or occurring as a result of the performance, in good faith, of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Co-Co Product for U.S. Administration in accordance with this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement will be shared by the Parties as Operating Profits or Losses under the Profit & Loss Share, provided that the Operating Profits or Losses will not include U.S. Administration Liabilities of a Party or its Affiliates:  (i) that are caused by a breach of this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement by such Party or its Affiliates; (ii) incurred with respect to or allocable to products other than Co-Co Product for U.S. Administration; or (iii) that are subject to indemnification by such Party pursuant to this Article 7 (and for clarity, if a Third Party makes a Claim directly against Jounce (or any of its Affiliates) or Celgene (or any of its Affiliates), respectively, that would otherwise be indemnified by Jounce or Celgene, respectively, if such Claim had been made against the other Party (or any of its Affiliates), then U.S. Administration Liabilities incurred by Jounce or Celgene in connection with such direct Claim will not be included in the calculation of the Operating Profits or Losses).

 

7.6                               Insurance.  Each Party shall maintain, at its cost, a program of insurance and/or self-insurance against liability (including product liability insurance) and other risks associated with its activities and obligations under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement, including as applicable its Clinical Trials, the Commercialization of any Co-Co Candidate, and its indemnification obligations hereunder, in such amounts, subject to such deductibles and on such terms as are customary for such Party for the activities to be conducted by it under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement.

7.7.1                     All such costs and expenses incurred before the Jounce Opt-Out Date relating to Co-Co Products distributed in the United States prior to the Jounce Opt-Out Date shall be taken into account in determining the Profit & Loss Share as, and to the extent, provided in Exhibit D.

 

7.7.2                     All such costs and expenses incurred after the Jounce Opt-Out Date relating to Co-Co Products shall be borne solely by Celgene if and only to the extent such Product Liabilities arose from Co-Co Products distributed after the Jounce Opt-Out Date.

 

7.8                               LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  EXCEPT (A) FOR A BREACH OF SECTION 9.4 OR ARTICLE 6.9 OR (B) FOR CLAIMS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 7 OR (C) FOR DAMAGES DUE TO THE FRAUD, MALICIOUS ACTIONS AND/OR INTENTIONAL TORT OF THE LIABLE PARTY, NEITHER JOUNCE NOR CELGENE, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY TO THIS CELGENE LEAD CO-CO AGREEMENT OR ITS AFFILIATES UNDER THIS CELGENE LEAD CO-CO AGREEMENT FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR

and otherwise commercialize Co-Co Products and Co-Co Diagnostic Products in the Field in the ROW Territory (or, in the event of any Jounce Opt-Out, the Territory).

 

(c)                                  No Expiration in U.S.  For clarity, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 8 or there is a Jounce Opt-Out, this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement shall remain in effect in perpetuity with respect to the United States.

 

8.2                               Termination Without Cause.

 

8.2.1                     Termination by Celgene for Convenience.  At any time during the Celgene Co-Co Term, Celgene shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement in its entirety, upon [***] prior written notice to Jounce hereunder; it being understood and agreed that Celgene shall be entitled to terminate upon [***] written notice at any time it reasonably determines that such termination is necessary to comply with any Antitrust Law.

 

8.2.2                     Termination by Celgene for Safety Reasons.  Celgene shall have the right to terminate this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement immediately on a Co-Co Candidate-by-Co-Co Candidate basis upon written notice to Jounce based on Safety Reasons (defined below).  Upon such termination for Safety Reasons, subject to the terms and conditions of this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement, Celgene shall be responsible, at its expense, for the wind-down, if any, of any Development of the applicable Co-Co Candidate, and corresponding Co-Co Product (including any Clinical Trials for the applicable Co-Co Candidate or Co-Co Product being conducted by or on behalf of Celgene and any regulatory costs for closing out corresponding regulatory activities) and any Commercialization activities for the applicable Co-Co Candidate or Co-Co Product.  Such termination shall become effective upon the date that the Parties agree in writing that such wind-down is complete.  Upon such termination for Safety Reasons, all licenses granted by Jounce to Celgene under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement shall terminate solely with respect to the applicable Co-Co Candidate or Co-Co Product.  For purposes of this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement, “Safety Reason” means that the Data Safety Monitoring Board for a Clinical Trial, or the Parties by mutual written agreement, based upon additional information that becomes available or an analysis of then-existing information at any time, determines that Development or Commercialization, as applicable, of the Co-Co Candidate and/or Co-Co Products should be discontinued because the medical risk/benefit of the Co-Co Candidate or Co-Co Products is sufficiently unfavorable as to be incompatible with the welfare of patients to Develop or Commercialize or to continue to Develop or Commercialize it.  If this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 8.2.2, then subject to applicable data privacy laws, and on Jounce’s request, Celgene shall provide Jounce with full access to all relevant data relating to the terminated Co-Co Product.

 

8.3                               Termination for Breach.

 

8.3.1                     Termination by Either Party for Breach.  Subject to certain variations set forth in Section 8.3.2 with respect to a material breach by either Party of its obligations to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts pursuant to Section 2.2.2, this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement and the rights granted herein may be terminated by either Party for the material breach by the other Party of this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement, provided, that if the breaching Party has not cured such breach within [***] (or [***], in the case of Celgene’s payment

obligations under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement or the time period provided in Section 8.3.2 with respect to a material breach by either Party of its obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, each as applicable) (the “Cure Period”) after the date of written notice to the breaching Party of such breach, which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail and shall state the non-breaching Party’s intention to terminate this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.3.1. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Cure Period for any allegation made in good faith as to a material breach under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement will run from the date that written notice was first provided to the breaching Party by the non-breaching Party in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Master Collaboration Agreement.  Any such termination of this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement under this Section 8.3.1 shall become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such Cure Period, or, if such breach is not susceptible to cure within the Cure Period, then, the non-breaching Party’s right of termination shall be suspended only if and for so long as the breaching Party has provided to the non-breaching Party a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure and such plan is acceptable to the non-breaching Party, and the breaching Party commits to and carries out such plan as provided to the non-breaching Party. The Parties understand and agree that the totality of this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement and the totality of the circumstances with respect to this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement will be taken into account and assessed as a whole for purposes of determining whether a breach is material under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement.

 

8.3.2                     Additional Procedures for Termination by either Party for Failure of the Other Party to Use Commercially Reasonable Efforts.  If either Party wishes to exercise its right to terminate this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3.1 for the other Party’s material breach of its obligations to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts as set forth in Section 2.2.2, it shall provide to such other Party a written notice of its intent to exercise such right, which notice shall be labeled as a “notice of material breach for failure to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts,” and shall state the reasons and justification for such termination and recommending steps which such Party believes the other Party should take to cure such alleged breach.  For any such notice of breach by a Party, the Cure Period shall be [***], and shall become effective in accordance with Section 8.3.1.

 

8.3.3                     Disagreement as to Material Breach.  If the Parties reasonably and in good faith disagree as to whether there has been a material breach pursuant to either Section 8.3.1 or 8.3.2, the Party that disputes that there has been a material breach may contest the allegation by referring such matter, within [***] following such notice of alleged material breach for resolution to the Executive Officers, who shall meet promptly to discuss the matter, and determine, within [***] following referral of such matter, whether or not a material breach has occurred pursuant to Section 8.3.1 or 8.3.2, as applicable.  If the Executive Officers are unable to resolve a dispute within such [***] period after it is referred to them, the matter will be resolved as provided in Section 12.7 of the Master Collaboration Agreement.

 

8.3.4                     Payments.  No milestone payments by Celgene as set forth in Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2, as applicable, will be due on milestones achieved during the period between the delivery to Jounce in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Master Collaboration Agreement of a notice of termination by Celgene under Section 8.3.1 or 8.3.2 and the effective date of termination; provided, however, if either Party provides notice of a dispute pursuant to Section

8.3.3 or otherwise and such dispute is resolved in a manner in which no termination of this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement occurs with respect to such breach or the breaching Party cures the applicable breach during the Cure Period, then upon such resolution or cure Celgene will within [***] pay to Jounce the applicable milestone payment for each milestone achieved during the period between the notice of termination under Section 8.3.1 or 8.3.2 and the resolution of such dispute or cure of such breach, and if it was determined that Celgene wrongly asserted breach by Jounce under Section 8.3.1, then Celgene shall also pay interest on such amount at an annual rate equal to the lesser of: (a) [***] above the prime rate as published by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, or any successor thereto, at 12:01 a.m. on the first day of each Calendar Quarter in which such payments are overdue or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law; in each case calculated on the number of days such payment is withheld, compounded monthly.

 

8.4                               Termination for Bankruptcy.  If either Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over all or substantially all of its property, files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or has any such petition filed against it which is not dismissed, discharged, bonded or stayed within [***] after the filing thereof, the other Party may terminate this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement in its entirety effective immediately upon written notice to such Party.  In connection therewith, the provisions of Section 6.1.5 shall apply.

 

8.5                               Termination for Patent Challenges.  Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement solely on a Co-Co Product-by-Co-Co Product basis upon written notice in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Master Collaboration Agreement if the other Party or any Affiliate challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any Patent (a) included in the Celgene Co-Co IP and that is licensed to Celgene under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement, or (b) included in the Celgene Patents that is licensed to Jounce under this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement (other than in either case as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a cross-claim or a counter-claim or to respond to a court request or order or administrative law, request or order) it being understood and agreed that either Party’s right to terminate this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement under this Section 8.5 shall not apply to any actions undertaken by an Affiliate of the other Party (the “Challenging Party”) that first becomes such an Affiliate as a result of a Business Combination involving the Challenging Party, where such new Affiliate was undertaking any of the activities described in the foregoing clause prior to such Business Combination; provided that a Party’s right to terminate this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement under this Section 8.5 shall apply to actions undertaken by such new Affiliate if the Challenging Party is the acquiror in such Business Combination and such new Affiliate does not terminate or otherwise cease such challenge or opposition within [***] after the effective date of such Business Combination. For the avoidance of doubt, an action by a Party or any Affiliate (collectively the “Prosecuting Party”) in accordance with this Celgene Lead Co-Co Agreement and the Master Collaboration Agreement to amend claims within a pending patent application of the other Party during the course of the Prosecuting Party’s Prosecution and Maintenance of such pending patent application or in defense of a Third Party proceeding, or to make a negative determination of patentability of claims of a patent application of the other Party or to abandon a patent application of the other Party during the course of the Prosecuting Party’s Prosecution and Maintenance of such pending patent application in accordance with Section 6.3, shall not constitute a challenge under this

Section 9.4) is required by applicable Law to withhold taxes, or if such redomiciliation or assignment results in the imposition of Indirect Taxes that were not otherwise applicable, from or in respect of any amount payable under this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement (or any other agreement entered into pursuant to this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement), and (iii) such withholding taxes or Indirect Taxes exceed the amount of withholding taxes or Indirect Taxes that would have been applicable if such redomiciliation or assignment had not occurred, then any such amount payable shall be increased to take into account such increased withholding taxes or Indirect Taxes  as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings (including withholdings on the withheld amounts) and/or paying such Indirect Taxes, as the case may be, the Payee Party (or its assignee pursuant to Section 9.4) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had such redomiciliation or assignment not occurred; provided, however, that the Paying Party will have no obligation to pay any additional amount under the immediately preceding clause to the extent that such withholding taxes or such Indirect Taxes would not be imposed but for the failure by the Payee Party to comply with the requirements of Section 5.7.3(c).  The additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.7.3(b) shall be reduced by the amount any foreign tax credit, tax refund or similar item available to the Payee Party in respect or as a result of withholding taxes or Indirect Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid pursuant to this Section 5.7.3(b), as mutually determined by the Parties cooperating in good faith.

that such joinder is necessary or desirable.  All time periods set forth in this Section 6.5.2 shall be subject to applicable Law, which may prevent earlier enforcement.

 

(e)                                  Cooperation.  In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 6.5.2(a) through 6.5.2(f), each Party will provide to the Party enforcing any such rights under Sections 6.5.2(a) or 6.5.2(b), as applicable, reasonable assistance and cooperation in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense (subject to Section 6.5.2(h)).  The enforcing Party will keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts.  The Parties will coordinate any Co-Co Enforcement Proceeding with respect to the Jounce Co-Co Collaboration Patent and Celgene Patents through the JSC and/or Patent Committee.  Each Party bringing any such action or proceeding in accordance with this Section 6.5 shall have an obligation to consult with the other Party and will take comments of such other Party into good faith consideration with respect to the infringement, claim construction, or defense of the validity or enforceability of any claim in any Jounce Co-Co Collaboration Patent and Celgene Patent that is the subject of such proceeding.

 

(f)                                   Agreement to Enforce.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.5, if either Party has a reasonable, good faith concern that the other Party’s exercise of its backup enforcement or defense rights with respect to any Patent as set forth in Section 6.5.2(a) and 6.5.2(b) would be detrimental to the overall patent protection of the Co-Co Products or related Co-Co Diagnostic Products, then such other Party shall not be permitted to enforce or defend such Patent without the prior consent of the objecting Party.

 

(g)                                  Settlement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.5, a settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section 6.5: (i) with respect to enforcement in the ROW Territory, may be entered into without the consent of the Party not bringing suit, and (ii) with respect to enforcement in the U.S., may only be entered into with the approval of the JSC; provided, however, that in any event, any such settlement, consent judgment or other disposition of any action or proceeding by a Party under this Article 6 shall not, without the consent of the Party not bringing suit, (a) impose any liability or obligation on the Party not bringing suit, (b) include the grant of any license, covenant or other rights to any Third Party that would conflict with or reduce the scope of the subject matter included under the licenses granted to the Party not bringing suit under this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement, (c) conflict with or reduce the scope of the subject matter claimed in any Patent owned by the Party not bringing suit, or (d) adversely affect the interest of the Party not bringing suit in any material respect, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

(h)                                 Costs of Enforcement.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.5:

 

(i)                                     ROW.  Each Party shall bear all of its own internal costs incurred in connection with its activities under this Section 6.5 that relate to a Co-Co Enforcement Proceeding or a Co-Co Step-In Proceeding relating to Jounce Co-Co Patents or Celgene Patents in the ROW Territory, and, if a Party commences a Co-Co Enforcement Proceeding or a Co-Co Step-In Proceeding in the ROW Territory, it shall bear all external costs and expenses for such action; and

(ii)                                  Remaining Proceeds.  Any remaining proceeds in case of suits with respect to a Co-Co Enforcement Proceeding or a Co-Co Step-In Proceeding relating to any Co-Co Product or related Co-Co Diagnostic Product under this Section 6.5, shall, (A) with respect to such suits in the ROW Territory, be allocated between the Parties such that the Party bringing suit under this Section 6.5 retains [***] and the other Party retains [***] of such amount, and (B) with respect to suits in the U.S., shall be shared by the Parties in accordance with the Profit & Loss Share.

 

(j)                                    Opt-Out by Jounce.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Section 6.5.2, if Jounce opts-out of its rights and responsibilities under Section 4.4 of this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement, Celgene shall have the sole right to enforce Jounce Co-Co Product Patents and Celgene Patents in the U.S. and in the ROW Territory at its own expense, and shall have sole right of settlement of and enforcement suit with respect to such Patents, and Celgene shall retain [***] of remaining proceeds under 6.5.2(i)(ii) in the U.S. and in the ROW Territory.

 

6.6.                            Patent Term Extensions.  Subject to Section 4.4.3(n), in the course of conducting activities pursuant to this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement, Jounce and Celgene shall discuss and seek to reach mutual agreement as to which, if any, of the Patents within the Jounce Co-Co Collaboration Patents or Celgene Patents that Cover the Co-Co Candidate, or Co-Co Products containing the Co-Co Candidate, for which the Parties shall apply to obtain patent term extensions, adjustments, restorations, or supplementary protection certificates under applicable Laws, based on the best commercial interests of the Co-Co Candidate or Co-Co Products; it being understood and agreed that, (a) if Celgene seeks a patent term extension in the ROW Territory, then Jounce agrees to negotiate in good faith with respect to any measures required by applicable Law for Celgene to obtain such extension and (b) if Jounce seeks a patent term extension in the United States, then Celgene agrees to negotiate in good faith with respect to any measures required by applicable Law for Jounce to obtain such extension.  If the Parties are unable to reach mutual agreement, Celgene shall have the right to make the final decision in the ROW Territory and Jounce shall have the right to make the final decision in the United States.

7.4.                            Indemnification Procedures.  If an Indemnitee receives written notice of a Claim that the Indemnitee believes may result in a claim for indemnification under this Article 7, such Indemnitee shall deliver an Indemnification Claim to the Indemnitor in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.3.  If the Litigation Conditions are satisfied, then the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume and control the defense of the Claim, at its own expense with counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, by delivering written notice of its assumption of such defense to the Indemnitee within [***] of its receipt of notice of such Claim from the Indemnitor (but the Indemnitor shall in any event have the right to assume and control the defense of a Claim that initially sought injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) from the Indemnitee when the only remaining dispute in such matter is the determination of non-injunctive relief or when the only remaining relief sought by the Third Party in such matter is non-injunctive relief, whichever is first); provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor, if (a) representation of the Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such Indemnitee and Indemnitor, (b) the Indemnitor has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel, (c) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor, or (d) at any time the Litigation Conditions are not satisfied with respect to such Claim.  If the Indemnitor assumes and controls the defense of such Claim, the Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised of the status of the Claim and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to otherwise monitor such Claim at its sole cost and expense.  If the Claim seeks injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) against or from the Indemnitee or if the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of the Claim as described in this Section 7.4, the Indemnitee shall be permitted to assume and control the defense of such Claim (but shall have no obligation to do so) and in such event shall be entitled to settle or compromise the Indemnification Claims in its sole and reasonable discretion, provided that if the Indemnitee is entitled to assume the defense of the Claim pursuant to this Section 7.4 solely because the Claim seeks injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) against or from the Indemnitee, then the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise such Indemnification Claims in any manner that involves the payment of monetary damages or has an adverse effect on the Indemnitor’s rights or interests (including any rights under this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement or the Equity Purchase Agreement or the scope or enforceability of any Patents or Know-How licensed by one Party to another Party pursuant to this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement, any other Development & Commercialization Agreement or the Master Collaboration Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent the Indemnitor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay.  If the Indemnitor has assumed and controls the defense of the Claim in accordance with this Section 7.4, (i) the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) the Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim in any manner that would result in the payment of amounts by the Indemnitee, impose any other obligation on the Indemnitee or otherwise have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s rights or interests (including any rights under this Jounce

7.6.                            Insurance.  Each Party shall maintain, at its cost, a program of insurance and/or self-insurance against liability (including product liability insurance) and other risks associated with its activities and obligations under this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement, including as applicable its Clinical Trials, the Commercialization of any Co-Co Candidate, and its indemnification obligations hereunder, in such amounts, subject to such deductibles and on such terms as are customary for such Party for the activities to be conducted by it under this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement.

 

7.7.                            Product Liability Costs.  Solely with respect to Co-Co Products distributed in the United States, except with respect to such portion (if any) of Product Liabilities that are claims entitled to indemnification under Sections 7.1 or 7.2, the Parties shall be responsible for all Product Liabilities, all Direct Costs (including Out-of-Pocket Costs) (calculated using the applicable FTE Rate) incurred in connection with any litigation or proceeding related to such

8.2.                            Termination Without Cause.

 

8.2.1                     Termination by Celgene for Convenience.  At any time during the Jounce Co-Co Term, Celgene shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement in its entirety, upon [***] prior written notice to Jounce hereunder; it being understood and agreed that Celgene shall be entitled to terminate upon [***] written notice at any time it reasonably determines that such termination is necessary to comply with any Antitrust Law.

Jounce to Celgene under this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement shall terminate solely with respect to the applicable Co-Co Candidate or Co-Co Product.  For purposes of this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement, “Safety Reason” means that the Data Safety Monitoring Board for a Clinical Trial, or the Parties by mutual written agreement, based upon additional information that becomes available or an analysis of then-existing information at any time, determines that Development or Commercialization, as applicable, of the Co-Co Candidate and/or Co-Co Products should be discontinued because the medical risk/benefit of the Co-Co Candidate or Co-Co Products is sufficiently unfavorable as to be incompatible with the welfare of patients to Develop or Commercialize or to continue to Develop or Commercialize it.  If this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 8.2.2, then subject to applicable data privacy laws, and on Jounce’s request, Celgene shall provide Jounce with full access to all relevant data relating to the terminated Co-Co Product.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Cure Period for any allegation made in good faith as to a material breach under this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement will run from the date that written notice was first provided to the breaching Party by the non-breaching Party in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Master Collaboration Agreement.  Any such termination of this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement under this Section 8.3.1 shall become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such Cure Period, or, if such breach is not susceptible to cure within the Cure Period, then, the non-breaching Party’s right of termination shall be suspended only if and for so long as the breaching Party has provided to the non-breaching Party a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure and such plan is acceptable to the non-breaching Party, and the breaching Party commits to and carries out such plan as provided to the non-breaching Party. The Parties understand and agree that the totality of this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement and the totality of the circumstances with respect to this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement will be taken into account and assessed as a whole for purposes of determining whether a breach is material under this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement.

which notice shall be labeled as a “notice of material breach for failure to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts,” and shall state the reasons and justification for such termination and recommending steps which such Party believes the other Party should take to cure such alleged breach.  For any such notice of breach by a Party, the Cure Period shall be [***], and shall become effective in accordance with Section 8.3.1.

 

8.3.3                     Disagreement as to Material Breach.  If the Parties reasonably and in good faith disagree as to whether there has been a material breach pursuant to either Section 8.3.1 or 8.3.2, the Party that disputes that there has been a material breach may contest the allegation by referring such matter, within [***] following such notice of alleged material breach for resolution to the Executive Officers, who shall meet promptly to discuss the matter, and determine, within [***] following referral of such matter, whether or not a material breach has occurred pursuant to Section 8.3.1 or 8.3.2, as applicable.  If the Executive Officers are unable to resolve a dispute within such [***] period after it is referred to them, the matter will be resolved as provided in Section 12.7 of the Master Collaboration Agreement.

 

8.3.4                     Payments.  No milestone payments by Celgene as set forth in Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2, as applicable, will be due on milestones achieved during the period between the delivery to Jounce in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Master Collaboration Agreement of a notice of termination by Celgene under Section 8.3.1 or 8.3.2 and the effective date of termination; provided, however, if either Party provides notice of a dispute pursuant to Section 8.3.3 or otherwise and such dispute is resolved in a manner in which no termination of this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement occurs with respect to such breach or the breaching Party cures the applicable breach during the Cure Period, then upon such resolution or cure Celgene will within [***] pay to Jounce the applicable milestone payment for each milestone achieved during the period between the notice of termination under Section 8.3.1 or 8.3.2 and the resolution of such dispute or cure of such breach, and if it was determined that Celgene wrongly asserted breach by Jounce under Section 8.3.1, then Celgene shall also pay interest on such amount at an annual rate equal to the lesser of: (a) [***] above the prime rate as published by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, or any successor thereto, at 12:01 a.m. on the first day of each Calendar Quarter in which such payments are overdue or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law; in each case calculated on the number of days such payment is withheld, compounded monthly.

 

8.4.                            Termination for Bankruptcy.  If either Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over all or substantially all of its property, files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or has any such petition filed against it which is not dismissed, discharged, bonded or stayed within [***] after the filing thereof, the other Party may terminate this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement in its entirety effective immediately upon written notice to such Party.  In connection therewith, the provisions of Section 6.1.5 shall apply.

 

8.5.                            Termination for Patent Challenges.  Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement solely on a Co-Co Product-by-Co-Co Product basis upon written notice in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Master Collaboration Agreement if the other Party or any Affiliate challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any Patent (a) included in the Jounce Co-Co IP and that is licensed to Celgene

For the avoidance of doubt, an action by a Party or any Affiliate (collectively the “Prosecuting Party”) in accordance with this Jounce Lead Co-Co Agreement and the Master Collaboration Agreement to amend claims within a pending patent application of the other Party during the course of the Prosecuting Party’s Prosecution and Maintenance of such pending patent application or in defense of a Third Party proceeding, or to make a negative determination of patentability of claims of a patent application of the other Party or to abandon a patent application of the other Party during the course of the Prosecuting Party’s Prosecution and Maintenance of such pending patent application in accordance with Section 6.3, shall not constitute a challenge under this Section 8.5.

5.2                               Indemnification by Jounce.  Jounce shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Celgene Indemnitees, from and against any and all Third Party Damages to the extent arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly, from any Claim, based upon:

 

5.2.1                     the [***] under this PD-1 License Agreement; or

 

5.2.2                     any [***] under this PD-1 License Agreement;

 

5.2.3                     any [***] under this PD-1 License Agreement; or

 

5.2.4                     [***].

 

5.3                               Notice of Claims.  A Claim to which indemnification applies under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 shall be referred to herein as an “Indemnification Claim.”  If the Indemnitee intends to claim indemnification under this Article 5, the Party claiming indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing, promptly upon becoming aware of an Indemnification Claim, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the Indemnification Claim; provided, that an Indemnification Claim in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a Third Party as to which indemnification shall be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced (provided that the Indemnitee is aware of such commencement); and provided further, that the failure by an Indemnitee to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this PD-1 License Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.

 

5.4                               Indemnification Procedures.  If an Indemnitee receives written notice of a Claim that the Indemnitee believes may result in a claim for indemnification under this Article 5, such Indemnitee shall deliver an Indemnification Claim to the Indemnitor in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3.  If the Litigation Conditions are satisfied, then the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume and control the defense of the Claim, at its own expense with counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, by delivering written notice of its assumption of such defense to the Indemnitee within [***] of its receipt of notice of such Claim from the Indemnitor (but the Indemnitor shall in any event have the right to assume and control the defense of a Claim that initially sought injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) from the Indemnitee when the only remaining dispute in such matter is the determination of non-injunctive relief or when the only remaining relief sought by the Third Party in such matter is non-injunctive relief, whichever is first); provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor, if (a) representation of the Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such Indemnitee and Indemnitor, (b) the Indemnitor has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel, (c) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor, or (d) at any time the Litigation Conditions are not satisfied with respect to such Claim.  If the Indemnitor assumes and controls the defense of such Claim, the Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised of the status of the Claim and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to otherwise monitor such Claim at its sole cost and expense.  If the Claim seeks injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) against or from the Indemnitee or if the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of the Claim as

described in this Section 5.4, the Indemnitee shall be permitted to assume and control the defense of such Claim (but shall have no obligation to do so) and in such event shall be entitled to settle or compromise the Indemnification Claims in its sole and reasonable discretion, provided that if the Indemnitee is entitled to assume the defense of the Claim pursuant to this Section 5.4 solely because the Claim seeks injunctive relief (including a declaratory judgment) against or from the Indemnitee, then the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise such Indemnification Claims in any manner that involves the payment of monetary damages or has an adverse effect on the Indemnitor’s rights or interests (including any rights under this PD-1 License Agreement or the Equity Purchase Agreement or the scope or enforceability of any Patents or Know-How licensed by one Party to another Party pursuant to this PD-1 License Agreement, any other Co-Development & Co-Commercialization Agreement or the Master Collaboration Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent the Indemnitor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay.  If the Indemnitor has assumed and controls the defense of the Claim in accordance with this Section 5.4, (i) the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) the Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim in any manner that would result in the payment of amounts by the Indemnitee, impose any other obligation on the Indemnitee or otherwise have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s rights or interests (including any rights under this PD-1 License Agreement or the Equity Purchase Agreement or the scope or enforceability of any Patents or Know-How licensed by one Party to another Party pursuant to this PD-1 License Agreement or any other Co-Development & Co-Commercialization Agreement, or the Master Collaboration Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee. In each case, the Party that is not controlling the defense of any Claim shall reasonably cooperate with the Party that is controlling the defense of such Claim, at the non-controlling Party’s expense and shall make available to the controlling Party all pertinent information under the control of the non-controlling Party, which information shall be subject to Article 8 of the Master Collaboration Agreement.  Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of Confidential Information of the other Party (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and other representatives of such Party to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

 

5.5                               Insurance.  Each Party shall maintain, at its cost, a program of insurance and/or self-insurance against liability (including product liability insurance) and other risks associated with its activities and obligations under this PD-1 License Agreement, including as applicable its Clinical Trials, the Commercialization of any Licensed Candidate, and its indemnification obligations hereunder, in such amounts, subject to such deductibles and on such terms as are customary for such Party for the activities to be conducted by it under this PD-1 License Agreement.

 

5.6                               LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  EXCEPT (A) FOR A BREACH OF SECTION 7.4 OR (B) FOR CLAIMS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 5 OR (C) FOR DAMAGES DUE TO THE FRAUD, MALICIOUS ACTIONS AND/OR INTENTIONAL TORT OF THE LIABLE PARTY, NEITHER JOUNCE NOR CELGENE, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY TO THIS PD-1 LICENSE AGREEMENT OR ITS AFFILIATES

6.1                               PD-1 Term; Expiration.   This PD-1 License Agreement shall become effective on the PD-1 Effective Date and, unless terminated pursuant to this Article 6, shall remain in effect until the later to occur of (a) the date there is no longer a Valid Claim in the Jounce Licensed Collaboration Patents or the Celgene PD-1 Patents that Cover a Licensed Product, (b) fifteen (15) years following First Licensed Sale of the Licensed Product, or (c) the twentieth (20th) anniversary of the PD-1 Effective Date (the “PD-1 Term”).

 

6.2                               Termination Without Cause.

 

6.2.1                     Termination by Celgene for Convenience.  At any time during the PD-1 Term, Celgene shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate this PD-1 License Agreement in its entirety, upon [***] prior written notice to Jounce hereunder; it being understood and agreed that Celgene shall be entitled to terminate upon [***]’ written notice at any time it reasonably determines that such termination is necessary to comply with any Antitrust Law.

 

6.2.2                     Termination by Celgene for Safety Reasons.  Celgene shall have the right to terminate this PD-1 License Agreement immediately on a Licensed Candidate-by-Licensed Candidate basis upon written notice to Jounce based on Safety Reasons (defined below).  Upon such termination for Safety Reasons, subject to the terms and conditions of this PD-1 License Agreement, Celgene shall be responsible, at its expense, for the wind-down, if any, of any Development of the applicable Licensed Candidate, and corresponding Licensed Product (including any Clinical Trials for the applicable Licensed Candidate or Licensed Product being conducted by or on behalf of Celgene and any regulatory costs for closing out corresponding regulatory activities) and any Commercialization activities for the applicable Licensed Candidate or Licensed Product.  Such termination shall become effective upon the date that the Parties agree in writing that such wind-down is complete.  Upon such termination for Safety Reasons, all licenses granted by Jounce to Celgene under this PD-1 License Agreement shall terminate solely with respect to the applicable Licensed Candidate or Licensed Product.  For purposes of this PD-1 License Agreement, “Safety Reason” means that the Data Safety Monitoring Board for a Clinical Trial, or the Parties by mutual written agreement, based upon additional information that becomes available or an analysis of then-existing information at any time, determines that Development or Commercialization, as applicable, of the Licensed Candidate and/or Licensed Products should be discontinued because the medical risk/benefit of the Licensed Candidate or Licensed Products is sufficiently unfavorable as to be incompatible with the welfare of patients to Develop or Commercialize or to continue to Develop or Commercialize

6.3                               Termination for Breach. This PD-1 License Agreement and the rights granted herein may be terminated by either Party for the material breach by the other Party of this PD-1 License Agreement, provided, that if the breaching Party has not cured such breach within [***]s (or [***], in the case of Celgene’s payment obligations under this PD-1 License Agreement with respect to a material breach by either Party of its obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, each as applicable) (the “Cure Period”) after the date of written notice to the breaching Party of such breach, which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail and shall state the non-breaching Party’s intention to terminate this PD-1 License Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.3. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Cure Period for any allegation made in good faith as to a material breach under this PD-1 License Agreement will run from the date that written notice was first provided to the breaching Party by the non-breaching Party in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Master Collaboration Agreement.  Any such termination of this PD-1 License Agreement under this Section 6.3 shall become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such Cure Period, or, if such breach is not susceptible to cure within the Cure Period, then, the non-breaching Party’s right of termination shall be suspended only if and for so long as the breaching Party has provided to the non-breaching Party a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure and such plan is acceptable to the non-breaching Party, and the breaching Party commits to and carries out such plan as provided to the non-breaching Party. The Parties understand and agree that the totality of this PD-1 License Agreement and the totality of the circumstances with respect to this PD-1 License Agreement will be taken into account and assessed as a whole for purposes of determining whether a breach is material under this PD-1 License Agreement.

 

6.4                               Termination for Bankruptcy .  If either Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over all or substantially all of its property, files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or has any such petition filed against it which is not dismissed, discharged, bonded or stayed within [***] after the filing thereof, the other Party may terminate this PD-1 License Agreement in its entirety effective immediately upon written notice to such Party.  In connection therewith, the provisions of Section 4.1.5 shall apply.

 

6.5                               Termination for Patent Challenges.  Either Party shall have the right to terminate this PD-1 License Agreement upon written notice in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Master Collaboration Agreement if the other Party or any Affiliate challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any Patent (a) included in the Jounce Licensed IP and that is licensed to Celgene under this PD-1 License Agreement, or (b) included in the Celgene Patents that is licensed to Jounce under this PD-1 License Agreement (other than in either case as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a cross-claim or a counter-claim or to respond to a court request or order or administrative law, request or order) it being understood and agreed that either Party’s right to terminate this PD-1 License Agreement under this Section 6.5 shall not apply to any actions undertaken by an Affiliate of the other Party (the “Challenging Party”) that first becomes such an Affiliate as a result of a Business Combination

1.              Principles of Reporting.

 

The presentation of results of operation of the Parties with respect to Revenue Split Products will be based on each Party’s respective financial information presented separately and on a consolidated basis in the reporting format depicted as follows:

It is the intention of the Parties to interpret definitions to be consistent with this Exhibit E and Accounting Principles, it being understood and agreed that [***].  Where such costs will be determined based on either Party’s system of cost or project accounting, each Party agrees to provide reasonable supporting documentation, as may be requested by the other Party, to ensure that each Party’s methodologies are reasonable and consistently applied.  To the extent that such costs are not readily determinable based on the respective Party’s system of cost or project accounting, the JWG will develop a reasonable methodology for determining such costs.  Reasonable methodologies may include a standard rate or some other appropriate basis for allocating costs.  For billing and reporting, the statement of operations will be translated into U.S. Dollars in accordance with this PD-1 License Agreement.

 

If necessary, a Party will make the appropriate adjustments to the financial information it supplies under this Exhibit E to conform to the above format of reporting results of operation.

 

The Parties agree that (a) all Revenue Split Products will be booked by the Party which is then-Commercializing such Revenue Split Product and (b) all Collaboration Combination Products will be booked pursuant to the terms of the applicable Co-Development &

b.              The Party Commercializing such Revenue Split Product will prepare a consolidated reporting of the activities undertaken by the Parties hereunder (including Gross Profit or Loss), the calculation of the Gross Profit or Loss sharing, and determination of the cash settlement as between the Parties. The Party Commercializing such Revenue Split Product will provide the other Party within [***] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, a detailed statement showing the consolidated results and calculations of the Gross Profit or Loss sharing and cash settlement required in a format agreed to by the Parties (the “Report”).  The non-Commercializing Party will cooperate as appropriate and provide the Commercializing Party with financial statements, within [***] of the end of each Calendar Quarter, for the non-Commercializing Party’s activities with respect to Revenue Split Product (if any), prepared in accordance with the terms contained in the financial planning, accounting and reporting procedures set forth in this Exhibit E in order for the Commercializing Party to prepare the consolidated reports, including in reasonable detail the Cost of Goods Sold in such Calendar Quarter.

 

c.               On a monthly basis, the Commercializing Party will supply the non- Commercializing Party with an estimate of Revenue Split Product Annual Net Sales during the prior month of such Revenue Split Product and related Licensed Diagnostic Product, in units, local currency and U.S. dollars (using the conversion method set forth in this PD-1 License Agreement) according to the Commercializing Party’s sales reporting system, which will be consistent with the financial planning, accounting and reporting procedures set forth in this Exhibit E.  Each such report will be provided as early as possible, but no later than [***] after the last day of the month in question, and will separately provide monthly and year-to-date cumulative figures. The Commercializing Party will provide to the non- Commercializing Party, together with the next monthly estimate under this Section 2(c), an updated report for the immediately preceding month providing a reconciliation of the estimated amounts for such preceding month against the actual Revenue Split Product Annual Net Sales during such month of such Revenue Split Product and Licensed Diagnostic Product in the United States.

 

3.              Financial Records.   With respect to all financial records and reports required by this Exhibit E, each Party to the extent applicable hereunder will keep financial records in accordance with its Accounting Principles.  All cost reporting will be based on the appropriate costs definitions stated in this Exhibit E or elsewhere in this PD-1 License

c.               In the event any payment is made after the date specified in Paragraph 4(b) of this Exhibit E and provided that such payment is not otherwise subject to good faith dispute, the paying Party will pay the additional amounts or the receiving Party will reimburse such excess payments, with interest from the date originally due as provided in Section 3.2.3 of this PD-1 License Agreement.
