If, after such good faith discussions (a) Kazia remains reasonably found by Evotec in material breach of its obligations under Section 5.3 of this Agreement with respect to such Product in such country, and (b) Kazia does not take all reasonable steps designated to rectify such breach within ninety (90) days after meeting with Evotec pursuant to this Section 5.4 (or if such failure cannot be rectified within such ninety (90)-day period, if Kazia does not commence actions to rectify such breach within such period and thereafter diligently pursue such actions), then Evotec shall have the right, in its discretion, on a Product-by-Product basis as to the Product with respect to which such Kazia Diligence Failure occurred to (i) terminate any or all of the licenses and rights granted under Section 8.1.1 hereof with respect to the Product that is the subject of the Diligence Failure Notice, or (ii) convert the licenses and rights granted under any or all of Section 8.1.1 from exclusive licenses to non- exclusive licenses only as such licenses and rights apply to such Product, which termination or conversion, as the case may be, shall be at the discretion of Evotec and be effective immediately upon issuance by Evotec of written notice to Kazia specifying the remedy that Evotec is electing to exercise under this Section 5.4.

5.5 Failure by Evotec to Satisfy Diligence Obligations. Evotec must notify Kazia immediately in writing upon receiving a written notice from Sanofi regarding any alleged failure by Evotec to satisfy its diligence obligations under the Sanofi License (“Evotec Diligence Failure”). If such Evotec Diligence Failure can reasonably be attributed to any action or inaction of Kazia resulting in a Kazia Diligence Failure, the terms of Section 5.4 shall apply provided, however, that in such case the time periods set out in Section 5.4 shall be adjusted to reflect the time periods applicable to the rectification or otherwise of the Evotec Diligence Failure under the Sanofi License.

If Kazia or its Affiliates or their Sublicensees, as applicable, determines, in its reasonable judgment, that it is necessary to obtain a license from any Third Party (a “Third Party License”) under any Valid Claim in order to avoid potential infringement or misappropriation of such Valid Claim by the importation, sale, manufacture or use of a Licensed Product, then the royalty payment that would otherwise be due in any Calendar Quarter pursuant to Section 6.3.1 shall be reduced, on a Calendar Quarter-by-Calendar Quarter basis, by fifty percent (50%) of any royalty amount payable by Kazia or its Affiliates or their Sublicensees in such Calendar Quarter to such Third Party in consideration for such Third Party License, in the event such Third Party License is obtained by Kazia or its Affiliate or their Sublicensees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the royalty payment that would otherwise be due to Evotec pursuant to Section 6.3.1 with respect to any particular Calendar Quarter shall not be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) by operation of this Section 6.3.2.

6.3.3 Royalty Adjustment in Certain Circumstances. On a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, if in any Calendar Quarter during the Royalty Term following introduction of a Generic Product in a country (“Generic Entry”) there is no Valid Claim within the Licensed Rights in such country then the applicable royalty payable to Evotec under Section 6.3.1 shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%).

6.3.4 Sublicensing Revenues. If Kazia sublicenses Commercialization rights to any Sublicensee, Kazia shall pay to Evotec the greater of, at Evotec’s sole discretion, (i) the milestone and royalty payments pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3, or (ii) in lieu of the then outstanding milestone and royalty payments under Sections 6.2 and 6.3, a percentage of any and all payments received by Kazia or its Affiliates from each such Sublicensee in consideration for such sublicense, on a Product-by-Product basis, as follows:

(a) [***] of any upfront payment received by Kazia from each Sublicensee for a Sublicense granted prior to Initiation of Phase 2 Clinical Trial; and (b) [***] of any upfront payment received by Kazia from each Sublicensee for a Sublicense granted after Initiation of Phase 2 Clinical Trial; and

6.3.5 Payment Dates and Reports. Royalty payments shall be made by Kazia with respect to each Product within thirty (30) Business Days after the receipt of a valid tax invoice from Evotec issued following the end of each Calendar Quarter in which a sale of such Product occurs, commencing with the Calendar Quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of such Product occurs. Within 20 Business Days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, Kazia shall provide a report showing (a) the Net Sales of each Product by type of Product and country in the Territory, (b) the total amount of deductions from gross sales to determine Net Sales, (c) the applicable royalty rates for Product in each country in the Territory after applying any deductions set forth above; and (d) a calculation of the amount of royalty due to Evotec, taking into account any royalty adjustments under Sections 6.3.2, 6.3.3 and 6.3.4.

6.3.6 Records; Audit Rights. Kazia shall, and shall procure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees will, keep and maintain for three (3) years from the date of each payment of royalties hereunder complete and accurate records of gross amounts invoiced and Net Sales by Kazia and its Affiliates and Sublicensees of each Product, in sufficient detail to allow royalties to be determined accurately. Evotec shall have the right for a period of three (3) years after receiving any royalty payment under this Section 6.3 to appoint at its expense an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Kazia to audit the relevant records of Kazia and its Affiliates and Sublicensees to verify that the amount of such payment was correctly determined. Kazia shall make, and shall procure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees make, its records available for audit by such independent certified public accountant during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon thirty (30) days written notice from Evotec. Such audit right shall not be exercised by Evotec more than once in any Calendar Year or more than once with respect to sales of a particular Product in a particular period. All records made available for audit shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of Kazia. In the event that an underpayment by Kazia hereunder is identified as a result of the audit, Kazia shall promptly (but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after Kazia’s receipt of any undisputed audit report so concluding) make payment to Evotec of any shortfall. In the event that an overpayment by Kazia hereunder is identified as a result of the audit, then Kazia may take credit for such overpayment against any future payments due to Evotec (if no future payment is due, then Evotec shall promptly refund such amount to Kazia). Evotec shall bear the full cost of any audit unless such audit discloses an underreporting by Kazia of five percent (5%) or greater of the aggregate amount of royalties payable in any Calendar Year, in which case Kazia shall reimburse Evotec for all reasonable costs incurred by Evotec in connection with such audit.

6.3.7 Overdue Payments. All payments not made by Kazia to Evotec when due under this Agreement, shall bear interest at a rate equal to 5 percent (5%) per year from the due date until paid in full or, if less, the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Laws. Any such overdue payment shall, when made, be accompanied by, and credited first to, all interest so accrued.

6.3.8 Tax. The royalties, milestones and other amounts payable by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement (“Payments”) shall not be reduced on account of any Taxes unless required by Applicable Law. Each Party alone shall be responsible for paying any and all Taxes (other than withholding taxes required by Applicable Law to be paid by Kazia) levied on account of, or measured in whole or in part by reference to, the income of such Party.

6.3.9 Payments; Indirect Taxes. All Payments are exclusive of Indirect Taxes. If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any Payments, the paying Party shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of such Payments following receipt, where applicable, of an Indirect Taxes invoice in the appropriate form issued by the receiving Party in respect of those Payments. The Parties shall issue invoices for all amounts payable under this Agreement consistent with Indirect Tax requirements and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes. If such amounts of Indirect Taxes are refunded by the applicable Regulatory Authority or other fiscal authority subsequent to payment, the Party receiving such refund shall transfer such amount to the paying Party within thirty (30) days of receipt. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate to provide any information required by the Party pursuing a refund of Indirect Taxes paid.

6.3.10 Withholding Tax. If Applicable Laws require withholding of income or other taxes imposed upon any payments made by Kazia to Evotec under this Agreement, Kazia shall (i) make such withholding payments as may be required, (ii) subtract such withholding payments from such payments, (iii) submit appropriate proof of payment of the withholding taxes to Evotec within a reasonable period of time, and (iv) promptly provide Evotec with all official receipts with respect thereto. Kazia shall render Evotec reasonable assistance in order to allow Evotec to obtain the benefit of any present or future treaty against double taxation which may apply to such payments.

6.3.11 Foreign Currency Exchange. All payments to be made by Kazia to Evotec under this Agreement shall be made in Euros and shall be paid by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as may be designated in writing by Evotec from time to time. If, in any Calendar Quarter, Net Sales are made in any currency other than Euros, such Net Sales shall be converted into Euros as follows: (A/B), where A = foreign Net Sales in such Calendar Quarter expressed in such foreign currency; and B = the applicable foreign exchange conversion rate, expressed in local currency of the foreign country per Euro (in accordance with the rates of exchange for the relevant month for converting such other currency into Euros used by Kazia’s internal accounting systems, which are independently audited on an annual basis).

For the avoidance of doubt, any combination of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party merely because individual elements of such Confidential Information are in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party unless the combination and its principles are in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party.

7.1.3 Limited Disclosure. Evotec and Kazia each agrees that disclosure of its Confidential Information may be made by a Receiving Party to any employee or consultant of such other Party or its Affiliates or any Third Party subcontractor engaged by a Party to enable such other Party to exercise its rights or to carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, that, any such disclosure shall only be made to Persons who are bound by written obligations of confidentiality consistent with those in this Article 7. In addition, Evotec and Kazia each agrees that a Receiving Party may disclose a Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (a) on a need-to-know basis to the Receiving Party’s legal and financial advisors, (b) as reasonably necessary in connection with an actual or potential (i) permitted sublicense of such Receiving Party’s rights hereunder, (ii) debt or equity financing of such Receiving Party or (iii) merger, acquisition, consolidation, share exchange or other similar transaction involving such Receiving Party and any Third Party, (c) to any Third Party that is engaged by the Receiving Party to perform services in connection with the Research or Development of Products or the Commercialization of Products as necessary to enable such Third Party to perform such services, and (d) for any other purpose with the other Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Receiving Party is liable for any breach of this Article 7 by any Person to whom it has disclosed the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to as if that Person were the Receiving Party in relation to the Confidential Information disclosed.

7.1.4 Employees and Consultants. Evotec and Kazia each hereby represents that all of its employees and consultants, and all of the employees and consultants of its Affiliates, who have access to Confidential Information or Proprietary Materials of the other Party are or shall, prior to having such access, be bound by written obligations to maintain such Confidential Information or Proprietary Materials in confidence.

7.3 Publications and Presentations. Except to the extent required by Applicable Laws, the Parties shall not publish any scientific or medical publications or give other forms of similar public disclosure, such as abstracts or presentations, relating to the Licensed Product or a Product other than with the other Party’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld). If either Party, its employees or consultants wish to make such a publication or presentation, that Party shall deliver to the other Party a copy of the proposed written publication or an outline of an oral disclosure at least thirty (30) days prior to submission for publication or presentation. Without derogating from its general approval right, the reviewing Party shall have the right to require a delay of up to ninety (90) days in publication or presentation in order to enable patent applications protecting each Party’s rights in such information to be filed and each Party shall have the right to prohibit disclosure of any of its Confidential Information in any such proposed publication or presentation.

(i)

conduct screens on VEGFR3(s) hereunder if, (a) requested by a Third Party or Evotec Affiliate and (b) solely in connection with screening to determine whether a certain compound has off-target activity. By way of example, if target A is VEGFR3, and target B is a separate target, then Evotec would have the right to screen compounds that a Third Party is evaluating for use in connection with Target B in a counter-screen containing VEGFR3 solely in order to attempt to determine whether such compounds have off-target activity against VEGFR3;

(ii)	conduct screens and profiling of compounds on VEGFR3 hereunder if, (a) requested by a Third Party and (b) such certain compounds are provided by the Third Party;
