In no event, however, shall any such sublicense relieve QUEST of its obligations hereunder. In the event of any termination of this AGREEMENT, all sublicenses hereunder shall be assigned to VITAE, and VITAE agrees to accept such assignment; provided, such sublicense is not then in breach of its sublicense agreement and its sublicense agreement is consistent with the provisions hereof; and provided further, in the case where such sublicense would include obligations to be performed by VITAE, that the foregoing assignment shall be subject to VITAE’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

3.02  As soon as is practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days, after the EFFECTIVE DATE, VITAE shall transfer title to QUEST of all inventories and supplies in VITAE’s or its AFFILIATES’ possession, or in possession by THIRD PARTIES under VITAE’s or its AFFILIATES’ control, of LICENSED COMPOUNDS, intermediates used to manufacture LICENSED COMPOUNDS, and other materials useful for the DEVELOPMENT or manufacture of LICENSED PRODUCT (the “INVENTORY”), subject to QUEST’s payment obligation under Section 4.02. Appendix D lists VITAE’s inventory of drug substance and drug product for [* * *]. The information in Appendix D is believed to be accurate as of the EFFECTIVE DATE based on VITAE’s knowledge. However, QUEST acknowledges and agrees that the information may be inaccurate and there shall be no adjustment to the inventory payment (or any other payment) due to VITAE in the event that the information in Appendix D is later determined to be inaccurate.
 
3.03  Notwithstanding the above, QUEST acknowledges that the transfer of the compound library and certain electronic databases may take longer than sixty (60) days because of technical difficulties in segregating EXCLUDED COMPOUNDS from the compound library and the electronic databases. VITAE shall use its best efforts to transfer the compound library and the electronic databases promptly.
 
4.  PAYMENTS AND ROYALTIES
 
4.01  Upfront Payment. In consideration for the acquisition of license rights under LICENSED PATENTS and LICENSED KNOW-HOW granted to QUEST in this AGREEMENT, upon execution of this AGREEMENT, QUEST shall pay VITAE two million one hundred thousand dollars ($2,100,000). This payment shall be made by wire transfer to an account to be designated by VITAE.
 
4.02  Inventory Payment. Within thirty (30) days of transfer and delivery of the INVENTORY under Section 3.02, QUEST shall pay VITAE fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).

4.03  Equity Milestone Payment. QUEST shall issue to VITAE six million six hundred fifty thousand six hundred fifty-two (6,650,652) shares of common stock of QUEST (the “VITAE SHARES”) upon the first to occur of the following milestone events:[ * * *]. The number of shares of QUEST common stock issued to VITAE shall equal 5.66% of the shares of QUEST common stock outstanding as of the EFFECTIVE DATE as determined on a fully diluted basis (counting the VITAE SHARES as outstanding shares. QUEST represents and warrants that the capitalization table provided by QUEST to VITAE are complete and accurate as of the EFFECTIVE DATE, and agrees that if there are any errors in QUEST’s favor, then QUEST shall issue additional sufficient shares to VITAE to result in VITAE receiving 5.66% of the shares of QUEST common stock outstanding as of the EFFECTIVE DATE. In the event that at any time after the EFFECTIVE DATE until the issuance of the VITAE SHARES, the number of shares of QUEST common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis is increased, whether by way of a stock split, stock dividend or otherwise, the number of VITAE SHARES to be issued upon achievement of the above milestone shall be adjusted upward proportionately. VITAE shall have the same benefits and obligations with respect to the VITAE SHARES as the FOUNDING SHAREHOLDERS (as hereinafter defined),including [* * *]. “FOUNDING SHAREHOLDERS” means Santa Monica Capital Partners II, LLC, Parkash Gill, Ph.D., and the other shareholders of QUEST as of the EFFECTIVE DATE.

For further clarity, the FOUNDING SHAREHOLDERS do not include the investors in the PRIVATE PLACEMENT. For further clarity, only one equity milestone payment shall be payable to VITAE, and the milestone payment shall be triggered whether the LICENSED PRODUCT involved is a single agent product or as a COMBINATION PRODUCT that incorporates one of the above-identified LICENSED COMPOUNDS. QUEST shall use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve at least one of the above milestones. Upon issuance to VITAE of QUEST common stock pursuant to this Section 4.03, and as a condition thereto, VITAE shall execute and deliver to QUEST an appropriate form investment representation letter with respect to such common stock.

[* * *]%
[* * *]
[* * *]%
Other
See below.

(a)  [* * *]
 
(b)  If a LICENSED PRODUCT contains more than one LICENSED COMPOUND, then the higher royalty rate shall apply.
 
(c)  If VITAE or QUEST is able to negotiate a lower royalty rate with the EXISTING LICENSORS, VITAE and QUEST shall share equally in the benefit of such reduction, except if QUEST must provide monetary consideration (e.g., cash, equity in QUEST or other consideration) to the EXISTING LICENSORS and VITAE does not contribute equally to the consideration provided.

(d)  [* * *]
 
(e)  QUEST will make royalty payments based on NET SALES, on a country-by-country basis, from the date of the FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE in such country until the later of (i) the expiry of the last-to-expire LICENSED PATENT which has at least one VALID CLAIM COVERING the LICENSED PRODUCT in such country (including the term of any applicable SPC covering such LICENSED PRODUCT), and (ii) [* * *] from the date of FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE in such country.
 
(f)  Reduction for Generic Competition. The royalty payment due to VITAE for sales of a particular LICENSED PRODUCT in a particular country shall be reduced by [* * *] during any calendar quarter in which such LICENSED PRODUCT faces GENERIC COMPETITION. GENERIC COMPETITION shall be deemed to exist in a particular country in the TERRITORY during a given calendar quarter with respect to a particular LICENSED PRODUCT if during such calendar quarter, one or more GENERIC PRODUCTS were sold commercially in such country, and the GENERIC PRODUCTS in the aggregate have a market share of [* * *] or more in that country (as measured by gross sales revenue based on data provided by IMS International, or if such data is not available, such other reliable data source as reasonably agreed upon by VITAE and QUEST). If no data is commercially available, then the parties shall agree upon a methodology for estimating the percentage market share of GENERIC PRODUCTS in such country.
 
(g)  For clarity, royalties shall be due during any extended or adjusted term of a LICENSED PATENT or during the term of any applicable SPC. Even if there is no LICENSED PATENT in a given country, royalties shall be due for sales in such country for ten (10) years from the date of FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE.
 
(h)  All royalty payments shall be made on a quarterly basis within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter.
 
4.05  Sublicense Revenue. QUEST shall pay VITAE as provided below a portion of all non-royalty sublicense income received from a THIRD PARTY relating to any of the three lead LICENSED COMPOUNDS, [* * *], except for payments directly related to research and development cost reimbursement. Specifically, if QUEST enters into a license agreement or other partnering arrangement with a THIRD PARTY prior to [* * *] for the LICENSED COMPOUND that is the subject of the licensing agreement or partnering arrangement, then QUEST shall pay VITAE [* * *] of all non-royalty income. If QUEST enters into a license agreement or other partnering arrangement with a THIRD PARTY after [* * *] for the LICENSED COMPOUND that is the subject of the licensing agreement or partnering arrangement, then QUEST shall pay VITAE [* * *] of all non-royalty income. For clarity, VITAE, and not QUEST, shall be solely and fully liable for any payments that may be due to ALLERGAN pursuant to section 5.3 (Sublicense Up-Front Consideration) of the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT relating to Sublicense Revenue (as that term is defined in the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT) payments. VITAE agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless QUEST with respect to all such payments pursuant to section 5.3 of the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT.
 
 
11

 
 
4.06  Third Party License Payments. QUEST shall be responsible for all royalties and milestone payments to EXISTING LICENSORS, as well as for any THIRD PARTY license payments that may be required, arising for periods after the EFFECTIVE DATE. For clarity, VITAE shall be responsible for any license payments to EXISTING LICENSORS and THIRD PARTIES accrued or owing for any period ending on or prior to the EFFECTIVE DATE, and VITAE shall have no responsibility or liability for any such license payments arising for periods after the EFFECTIVE DATE.
 
4.07  Late Payments. Any unexcused late payments by QUEST to VITAE hereunder shall accrue interest at an annual interest rate equal to the average prime rate (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or other reliable source) from the date the payment was originally due until the actual date that the payment was received and credited to VITAE’s account.
 
4.08  Bundled Products. In the event that a LICENSED PRODUCT is sold as part of a bundle of products and/or services, QUEST may discount the bona fide list price of a LICENSED PRODUCT by no more than the average percentage discount of all products and services in a particular bundle. QUEST shall not use a LICENSED PRODUCT as a “loss leader.” If QUEST cannot establish the average discount of a bundle (e.g., because certain products or services included within the bundle are not sold separately), then NET SALES for the LICENSED PRODUCT included within the bundle shall be based on the undiscounted list price of the LICENSED PRODUCT in the bundle. If no bona fide list price exists for a LICENSED PRODUCT that is part of the bundle (e.g., because such LICENSED PRODUCT is not sold separately), then the parties shall negotiate in good faith to establish an imputed list price for such LICENSED PRODUCT, and NET SALES shall be calculated based on such imputed list price.
 
4.09  Combination Products. NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS formulated in combination with one or more additional therapeutically active ingredients shall be included in the calculation of royalties and milestone payments based on NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS. The parties shall agree upon a formula for allocating the portion of NET SALES of COMBINATION PRODUCT attributable to the LICENSED PRODUCT component of the COMBINATION PRODUCT. If the parties are unable to agree upon a formula, then the following formula shall apply:
 
(a)  If the LICENSED PRODUCT and the other PRODUCT COMPONENT both have bona fide commercial sales on a stand-alone basis, then the following shall apply: NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCT sold as part of the COMBINATION PRODUCT shall be equal to the NET SALES of the COMBINATION PRODUCT multiplied by the formula, A/(A+B), where “A” is the median selling price of the LICENSED PRODUCT over the previous calendar quarter, and “B” is the median selling price of the other PRODUCT COMPONENT over the previous calendar quarter.
 
(b)  If the LICENSED PRODUCT has bona fide commercial sales on a stand-alone basis but the other PRODUCT COMPONENT does not, then the following shall apply: NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCT sold as part of the COMBINATION PRODUCT shall be equal to the NET SALES of the COMBINATION PRODUCT multiplied by the formula, A/C, where “A” is the median selling price of the LICENSED PRODUCT over the previous calendar quarter, and “C” is the median selling price of the COMBINATION PRODUCT over the previous calendar quarter.
 
 
12

 
 
(c)  If the other PRODUCT COMPONENT has bona fide commercial sales on a stand-alone basis but the LICENSED PRODUCT does not, then the following shall apply: NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCT sold as part of the COMBINATION PRODUCT shall be equal to the NET SALES of the COMBINATION PRODUCT multiplied by the formula, 1-(B/C), where “B” is the median selling price of the other PRODUCT COMPONENT over the previous calendar quarter, and “C” is the median selling price of the COMBINATION PRODUCT over the previous calendar quarter, provided that B is less than C.
 
(d)  If the other PRODUCT COMPONENT in the COMBINATION PRODUCT is available as a generic product and as a branded product, the median selling price of the version of the PRODUCT COMPONENT actually used in the COMBINATION PRODUCT, be it generic or branded, shall be used in the calculation outlined above.
 
5.  DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION
 
5.01  Sole Responsibility. As of the EFFECTIVE DATE, QUEST shall have full control, authority and responsibility for research, DEVELOPMENT, registration and commercialization of LICENSED PRODUCTS in the TERRITORY, including preclinical work (e.g., safety assessment, chemical, or pharmaceutical development work on the final formulation), all clinical studies, and all regulatory filings, and all such activity shall be undertaken at QUEST’s sole expense. QUEST shall be solely responsible for developing LICENSED PRODUCTS.
 
5.02  Notice and Information. QUEST shall keep VITAE, at VITAE’s request, reasonably informed of the progress of QUEST’s efforts to develop and commercialize the LICENSED PRODUCTS in the TERRITORY; QUEST shall notify VITAE of all significant developments in writing as soon as reasonably practicable. For example, QUEST will so notify VITAE in the event that QUEST decides that a recall, field alert, product withdrawal or field correction is necessary due to any defect in any LICENSED PRODUCT.
 
5.03  Certain QUEST Covenants. QUEST shall give due consideration to VITAE’s input, if any, on DEVELOPMENT and commercialization issues; however, all DEVELOPMENT and commercialization matters shall be determined exclusively by QUEST, in its sole discretion, as provided in Section 5.01. Notwithstanding the above, QUEST agrees not to take any action (without VITAE’s express written agreement) that will result (i) in a breach of VITAE’s obligations under the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT or the LIGAND AGREEMENT; (ii) in a waiver of VITAE’s material rights under the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT or LIGAND AGREEMENT; or (iii) in VITAE incurring any material expenses or other obligations that it would otherwise not have incurred. For clarity, QUEST has no authority to amend this AGREEMENT unilaterally or to waive any rights on behalf of VITAE under this AGREEMENT.
 
 
13

 
 
5.04  Certain VITAE Covenants.
 
(a)  VITAE shall promptly notify QUEST if it becomes reasonably likely that VITAE will be or become in material breach of the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT. QUEST acknowledges that VITAE has no obligation to develop or commercialize [* * *] or any other TRANSFERRED COMPOUND, and QUEST has no expectation that VITAE will do so.
 
(b)  VITAE agrees that it and its AFFILIATES shall not agree to amend the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT or the LIGAND AGREEMENT in any way that would adversely affect QUEST’s rights under the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT and the LIGAND AGREEMENT as they relate to the LICENSED COMPOUNDS. For clarity, VITAE has no authority to amend this AGREEMENT unilaterally or waive or modify any rights or obligations on behalf of QUEST under this AGREEMENT, or under the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT or the LIGAND AGREEMENT as they relate to the LICENSED COMPOUNDS.
 
5.05  Regulatory Activities. Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT, and all requirements of applicable laws, rules, and regulations, QUEST shall be solely responsible, at its sole cost, for filing and obtaining REGULATORY APPROVALS for the LICENSED PRODUCTS in the TERRITORY.
 
5.06  Diligence. QUEST shall use COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS (i) to develop and commercialize a LICENSED PRODUCT; (ii) to obtain REGULATORY APPROVALS for LICENSED PRODUCTS; and (iii) to market, promote, sell and distribute a LICENSED PRODUCT. For avoidance of doubt, QUEST shall use COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS to comply with all diligence requirements in the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT. QUEST may sublicense or subcontract the marketing or co-marketing of LICENSED PRODUCTS.
 
5.07  Direct License Agreement. VITAE and QUEST contemplate that QUEST may enter into a licensing agreement directly with ALLERGAN relating to the LICENSED COMPOUNDS which would replace and supersede this Agreement as it relates to the EXISTING LICENSORS. VITAE agrees to cooperate with QUEST in connection with the negotiation and preparation of any such licensing agreement. In the event QUEST and ALLERGAN enter into such a licensing agreement, VITAE and QUEST shall enter into an appropriate amendment, or amendment and restatement, of this AGREEMENT. If the parties enter into an amendment, assignment or any other new licensing arrangement, VITAE shall retain all financial and other benefits due under this AGREEMENT (e.g., upfront payment, equity milestone payment, inventory payment, royalties). In addition, if ALLERGAN terminates the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT with respect to VITAE (but not with respect to QUEST), VITAE shall also retain all payments received under this AGREEMENT and shall continue to be entitled to any and all payments due under this AGREEMENT.
 
6.  MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY
 
6.01  Clinical and Pre-Clinical Supply. On or after the EFFECTIVE DATE, QUEST shall be solely responsible, at its sole expense, for manufacturing drug substance and drug product for any pre-clinical studies/tests or for any clinical trials for any LICENSED PRODUCT. QUEST may sublicense or subcontract the preclinical or clinical supplies for any LICENSED PRODUCT as permitted under, and in accordance with, Section 2.03.
 
 
14

 
 
6.02  Commercial Supply. QUEST shall be solely responsible, at its sole expense, for commercial manufacture of all LICENSED PRODUCTS. QUEST may sublicense or subcontract the commercial manufacture of LICENSED PRODUCTS as permitted under, and in accordance with, Section 2.03.
 
7.  CONFIDENTIALITY
 
7.01  Confidential Information. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this AGREEMENT or otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, the parties agree that, during the term of this AGREEMENT and for five (5) years thereafter, the receiving party shall not (i) publish or otherwise disclose to THIRD PARTIES, or (ii) use for any purpose other than as provided or contemplated in this AGREEMENT any confidential information received from the other party or otherwise developed by either party in the performance of activities in furtherance of this AGREEMENT. This confidentiality obligation shall not apply to such information that the receiving party can demonstrate by competent proof that such information: (i) was already rightfully known to the receiving party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the other party; (ii) was generally available to the public at the time of its disclosure to the receiving party; (iii) became generally available to the public other than through any act or omission of the receiving party; (iv) was independently developed by the receiving party without the aid or use of any confidential information from the disclosing party; or (v) was disclosed to the receiving party by a THIRD PARTY who was not under an obligation not to disclose such information. 
 
7.02  Authorized Disclosures. Notwithstanding the above, (1) QUEST may use LICENSED COMPOUNDS or LICENSED KNOW-HOW as provided and contemplated in this AGREEMENT and may disclose confidential information of VITAE or its AFFILIATES to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for: (i) manufacture or DEVELOPMENT of LICENSED PRODUCTS; (ii) filing or prosecuting patent applications relating to the LICENSED COMPOUNDS or their use; (iii) regulatory filings relating to the LICENSED COMPOUNDS; (iv) prosecuting or defending litigation relating to the LICENSED COMPOUNDS or this AGREEMENT; or (v) conducting preclinical or clinical trials of the LICENSED COMPOUNDS; and (2) each party may disclose confidential information of the other party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for (i) complying with applicable laws, rules or other governmental regulations or orders of any court or other governmental authority; or (ii) disclosure to AFFILIATES, sublicensees, employees, consultants, agents, investors or potential investors or merger partners, provided, however, that such AFFILIATE, sublicensee, employee, consultant, agent, investor or potential investor or merger partner has undertaken a similar obligation of confidentiality with respect to the confidential information as those undertaken by the parties hereunder. In the event that a party is required to make a disclosure of the other party’s confidential information pursuant to Subsection (2)(i), the receiving party shall, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the disclosing party of such required disclosure and use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information.

7.03  Press Release; Publicity. The parties shall agree upon a joint press release, which shall be issued after execution of this AGREEMENT.
 
7.04  Publications. Except as provided in Section 7.03, VITAE may not issue any press release or submit any publication or make any presentation that includes data or other information relating to LICENSED COMPOUNDS, LICENSED KNOW-HOW or LICENSED PRODUCTS without first obtaining the prior written consent of QUEST. The contribution, if any, of each party shall be acknowledged in all publications and presentations by either party.
 
8.  PATENT PROSECUTION AND LITIGATION
 
8.01  Ownership. QUEST shall have and retain sole and exclusive title to all inventions, discoveries and know-how which are made, conceived, reduced to practice or generated by its employees, agents, or other persons acting under its authority in the course of or as a result of this AGREEMENT. Each party shall own a fifty percent (50%) undivided interest in all such inventions, discoveries and know-how made, conceived, reduced to practice or generated jointly by employees, agents, or other persons acting under the authority of both parties in the course of as a result of this AGREEMENT. The parties acknowledge and agree that as of the EFFECTIVE DATE, the parties have no intention of entering into a joint research collaboration; and neither party is required to enter into such a collaboration or to contribute any efforts to any joint research. Any such joint collaboration shall be undertaken, if at all, only pursuant to a written collaboration agreement signed by the parties.
 
8.02  Prosecution and Maintenance. During the term of this AGREEMENT, QUEST shall comply with Section 7.1 of the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT as it relates to the LICENSED PATENTS, including the ALLERGAN PATENTS and the VITAE RETINOID PATENTS, at QUEST’s sole expense. Subject to the rights of the EXISTING LICENSORS pursuant to the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT and LIGAND AGREEMENT to assume responsibility for any LICENSED PATENT which QUEST intends to abandon, VITAE shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume responsibility for and/or take assignment of any LICENSED PATENT which QUEST intends to abandon or otherwise cause or allow to be forfeited. QUEST shall give VITAE at least sixty (60) days written notice prior to abandonment or other forfeiture of any PATENT or any part of a PATENT so as to permit VITAE to exercise its rights under this section. In addition, QUEST shall provide notice to ALLERGAN and any other co-owners of the LICENSED PATENT to be abandoned in the form and manner necessary to satisfy any legal obligations to such parties.
 
8.03  Litigation.
 
(a)  In the event of the institution of any suit by a THIRD PARTY against VITAE, QUEST or its sublicensees or distributors for patent infringement involving the manufacture, use, sale, distribution or marketing of LICENSED PRODUCT anywhere in the TERRITORY, the party sued shall promptly notify the other party in writing. QUEST shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend such suit at its own expense. If QUEST chooses not to exercise its right to defend such suit, then VITAE shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend such suit at its own expense. VITAE and QUEST shall assist one another and cooperate in any such litigation at the other’s request without expense to the requesting party.
 
 
16

The party conducting such action shall have full control over its conduct, including settlement thereof subject to Section 8.03(e). In any event, VITAE and QUEST shall assist one another and cooperate in any such litigation at the other’s request without expense to the requesting party.
 
(c)  In any action brought pursuant to this Section 8.03, the party bringing the action shall indemnify the other party, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, successors and assigns from any loss, damage or liability, including for reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, which may result from claims, counterclaims or cross-claims asserted by a defendant, except to the extent that such losses, damages or liabilities result from the negligence or willful misconduct of the other party.
 
(d)  Subject to the rights of the EXISTING LICENSORS pursuant to the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT and LIGAND AGREEMENT, VITAE and QUEST shall recover their respective actual out-of-pocket expenses, or equitable proportions thereof, associated with any litigation or settlement thereof from any recovery made by any party. Any excess amount shall be treated as NET SALES for purposes of the royalty provisions of this Agreement.
 
(e)  The parties shall keep one another informed of the status of and of their respective activities regarding any litigation or settlement thereof concerning LICENSED PRODUCT, provided however that no settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any suit defended or action brought by a party pursuant to this Article 8 may be entered into without the consent of the other party if such settlement would require the other party to be subject to an injunction or to make a monetary payment or would otherwise adversely affect the other party’s rights under this AGREEMENT.
 
8.04  Patent Term Extension. QUEST, in its sole discretion, may seek extensions of the terms of LICENSED PATENTS at QUEST’s sole expense.

8.05  Supplementary Protection Certificates. QUEST, in its sole discretion, may seek to obtain, and maintain until expiry, any SPCs based on the LICENSED PATENTS at QUEST’s sole expense. If QUEST chooses not to seek an SPC where such SPC likely would have been granted, then QUEST’s royalty obligations to VITAE shall continue as if the term of such LICENSED PATENT had been extended.

9.01  QUEST shall be solely responsible, at its sole expense, for the selection of all PRODUCT TRADEMARKS used in connection with the marketing or promotion of a LICENSED PRODUCT in the TERRITORY, and shall own and control such PRODUCT TRADEMARKS. QUEST shall be responsible for registration and maintenance of all such PRODUCT TRADEMARKS.
 
9.02  QUEST, at its sole expense, shall be responsible for the selection and registration of non-proprietary names for any LICENSED PRODUCT throughout the TERRITORY.
 
10.  RECORDS AND REPORTING
 
10.01  Records. QUEST shall keep, and require its AFFILIATES and sublicensees to keep complete and accurate records of all sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS under the licenses granted herein. VITAE shall have the right, at VITAE’s expense, through a certified public accountant or like person reasonably acceptable to QUEST, to examine such records during regular business hours during the life of this AGREEMENT and for [* * *] after its termination; provided, however, that such examination shall not take place more often than once a year and shall not cover such records for more than the preceding [* * *]. In the event such audit reveals an underpayment of the amount actually due, QUEST shall promptly remit the amount of any underpayment to VITAE. In the event such audit reveals an underpayment of [* * *] or more of the amount actually due, or [* * *], whichever is greater, QUEST shall reimburse VITAE’s reasonable audit expenses and shall also promptly remit interest on such underpayment, such interest to be calculated beginning upon the first day following the end of the time period within which such payment was due, calculated at the average annual prime rate (in the USA) as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the applicable time period.
 
10.02  Accounting. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, QUEST shall provide a true accounting of all LICENSED PRODUCTS sold by QUEST, its AFFILIATES and its sublicensees during such quarter in the TERRITORY, and QUEST shall, at the same time pay, any royalties due for such quarter. Such accounting shall show total invoiced and net sales on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis.
 
10.03  Taxes. Any tax, duty or other levy paid or required to be withheld by QUEST on account of royalties or other payments payable to VITAE under this AGREEMENT shall be deducted from the amount of royalties or payments otherwise due, provided that QUEST shall make such deductions only to the minimum extent required by the relevant jurisdiction. QUEST shall secure and send to VITAE proof of any such taxes, duties or other levies withheld and paid by QUEST or its sublicensees for the benefit of VITAE

Except as otherwise set forth herein, all payments due hereunder shall be paid within thirty (30) days following receipt of VITAE’s invoice. If governmental regulations prevent remittances from a foreign country with respect to sales made in that country, the obligation of QUEST to pay royalties on sales in that country shall be suspended until such remittances are possible. VITAE shall have the right, upon giving written notice to QUEST, to receive payment in that country in local currency.
 
 
18

 
 
10.05  Foreign Exchange Conversion. Monetary conversion from the currency of a foreign country in which LICENSED PRODUCT is sold into U.S. Dollars shall be calculated at the actual average rates of exchange for the quarterly period to which such royalty payment relates as used by QUEST in producing its quarterly accounts.
 
10.06  Other Reports. QUEST shall satisfy all reporting obligations of VITAE required by the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT and the LIGAND AGREEMENT as they relate to LICENSED PRODUCTS, including providing semi-annual progress reports in accordance with Section 3.5(b) of the ALLERGAN AGREEMENT.
 
11.  TERM AND TERMINATION
 
11.01  Term. Unless otherwise terminated earlier, this AGREEMENT shall expire upon the expiration of QUEST’s royalty obligations under this AGREEMENT in all countries of the TERRITORY.
 
11.02  Material Breach. If either party fails to perform any covenants or provisions of this AGREEMENT and if such default is not corrected within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice from the other party with respect to such default, such other party shall have the right to terminate this AGREEMENT by giving written notice to the party in default.
 
11.03  Bankruptcy/Insolvency. Either party may terminate this AGREEMENT if, at any time, the other party shall file in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the party or of its assets, or if the other party proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, or if the other party shall be served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition shall not be dismissed with sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or if the other party shall propose or be a party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if the other party shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this AGREEMENT by VITAE to QUEST are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and other similar international laws, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or such international laws. VITAE agrees that, notwithstanding the bankruptcy of VITAE, QUEST, as a licensee of such rights under this AGREEMENT, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and other similar international laws. VITAE further agrees that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against VITAE under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, QUEST shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and the same, if not already in Licensee’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon its written request therefore, unless VITAE elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this AGREEMENT, or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, upon the rejection of this AGREEMENT by or on behalf of VITAE upon written request therefore by QUEST.

(a)  QUEST may terminate this AGREEMENT by giving VITAE at least thirty (30) days written notice thereof upon the earlier to occur of the following events: (i) the date two (2) years after the EFFECTIVE DATE; or (ii) QUEST’s reasonable determination that preclinical or clinical trials of all three lead LICENSED COMPOUNDS, [* * *], fail to meet the study objectives or indicate that such LICENSED COMPOUNDS are not safe or effective. If the parties do not agree as to whether the clinical and preclinical trials of all three lead LICENSED COMPOUNDS fail to meet study objectives or indicate that such LICENSED COMPOUNDS are not safe or effective, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13.03.
 
(b)  Other than as provided in this Article, QUEST shall not have the right to terminate this AGREEMENT unilaterally. For clarity, QUEST may not unilaterally terminate this AGREEMENT within two years of the EFFECTIVE DATE, except pursuant to Sections 11.02 and 11.03.
 
11.05  Termination by VITAE.
 
(a)  QUEST shall undertake to raise at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) in financing through the PRIVATE PLACEMENT for purposes of funding QUEST’s initial business and operations, including the DEVELOPMENT of the LICENSED COMPOUNDS. If QUEST fails to complete the PRIVATE PLACEMENT and raise such amount on or before May 31, 2007, VITAE shall have the right to terminate this AGREEMENT by returning all sums received from QUEST except that it may retain [* * *], representing liquidated damages for the costs incurred by VITAE during negotiation of this AGREEMENT, including patent prosecution and maintenance costs. 
 
(b)  Upon such termination, QUEST shall return all know-how, INVENTORY, and any other assets assigned or transferred to QUEST by VITAE in connection with this AGREEMENT.
 
11.06  Consequences of Termination. 
 
(a)  Upon termination of this AGREEMENT, VITAE shall have the right to retain any sums already paid by QUEST hereunder (except as specified in Section 11.05(a)), and QUEST shall pay all sums accrued hereunder which are then due.
 
(b)  Upon termination of this AGREEMENT, all licenses granted to QUEST hereunder shall automatically terminate; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2.03, no termination of this AGREEMENT shall affect the rights of QUEST’s AFFILIATES and sublicensees (or their sublicensees) under any sublicense agreement previously entered into in accordance with this AGREEMENT.
 
 
20

 
 
(c)  Upon termination of this AGREEMENT other than if QUEST terminates this AGREEMENT because of VITAE’s uncured breach of a material provision pursuant to Section 11.02, VITAE shall automatically be granted, and hereby is granted, an exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicense, under the QUEST PATENTS and QUEST KNOW-HOW held by QUEST at the time of termination, to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import any LICENSED PRODUCTS in the TERRITORY, provided that QUEST shall retain all rights and interests in such QUEST PATENTS and QUEST KNOW-HOW to the extent that such are not related to any LICENSED PRODUCT. In addition, QUEST shall transfer to VITAE, at VITAE’s cost, all QUEST KNOW-HOW reasonably required by VITAE to manufacture, market, promote and distribute LICENSED PRODUCTS.
 
(d)  Furthermore, QUEST shall, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of a termination other than a termination by QUEST pursuant to Section 11.02, use all reasonable endeavors to take all steps and execute all documents reasonably necessary to assign and/or transfer (to the extent legally permissible in the relevant country) all REGULATORY APPROVALS in QUEST’s name or in the name of QUEST’s AFFILIATES, sublicensees or distributors related to LICENSED PRODUCTS to VITAE or its designee, provided that VITAE shall be responsible for any reasonable associated out-of-pocket costs related to such transfer. In the event that no such assignment and/or transfer pursuant to this Paragraph may legally be made, then upon the request of VITAE, QUEST shall forthwith surrender such REGULATORY APPROVALS or applications for cancellation. In addition, upon VITAE’s request, QUEST shall, within the same time period, deliver to VITAE or its designee any documents relating to applications for REGULATORY APPROVALS in its possession, provided that VITAE shall be responsible for any reasonable associated out-of-pocket costs of transfer.
 
(e)  Upon termination of this AGREEMENT other than if QUEST terminates this AGREEMENT because of VITAE’s uncured breach of a material provision pursuant to Section 11.02, QUEST shall assign all PRODUCT TRADEMARKS to VITAE. For clarity, QUEST need not assign any housemarks or other trademarks that are not specifically associated with a LICENSED PRODUCT.
 
(f)  Upon termination of this AGREEMENT other than if VITAE terminates this AGREEMENT because of QUEST’s uncured breach of a material provision pursuant to Section 11.02, QUEST shall have the right to sell its inventory of LICENSED PRODUCTS, subject to payment of applicable royalties and milestone payments to VITAE. Within [* * *] after the effective date of termination of this AGREEMENT, QUEST shall notify VITAE of the amount of LICENSED PRODUCTS that QUEST, its AFFILIATES, sublicensees and distributors then have on hand, the sale of which would, but for the termination, be subject to royalty, and QUEST, its AFFILIATES, sublicensees and distributors shall thereupon be permitted to sell that amount of LICENSED PRODUCTS for a period of [* * *] following the effective date of such termination, provided that QUEST shall pay the royalty thereon at the time herein provided for, as well as any sales milestones that are achieved as a result of such sales.
 
11.07  Survival. Termination of this AGREEMENT in its entirety shall terminate all outstanding obligations and liabilities between the parties arising from this AGREEMENT, except those described in Sections 2.02 (to the extent provided in that section), 2.03, 11.05, 11.06, 12.03, 12.04, and 12.05 and in Articles 7 and 13.
