Subject to Section 7.2.6, the license would be exclusive. Under such license, TEKMIRA would agree to pay:
 
 
(a)  
a reasonable proportion of all up front, milestone and other payments received by TEKMIRA and attributable in whole or in part to Arising IP;

(a)  
is already in the Receiving Party's or any of its Representatives’ possession at the time of disclosure, as can be demonstrated by the Receiving Party by written records;
 
 
(b)  
is or later becomes part of the public domain other than as a consequence of a breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed to the Disclosing Party by the Receiving Party;

is received from a third party having no obligations of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party;
 
 
(d)  
is independently developed by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives as can be demonstrated by the Receiving Party by written records; or

The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information is specifically required to be disclosed to the Ethics Committee or the Regulatory Authority. The Parties acknowledge that there is a general understanding that any such Ethics Committee and Regulatory Authority will keep information submitted to it confidential, and the Receiving Party shall mark any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information disclosed in accordance with this Section 8.1.5 as “confidential”, but each Party accepts that the Receiving Party would be unable to impose any specific obligations upon such bodies.

TEKMIRA may require OXFORD to (a) delay submission for publication if, in TEKMIRA’s reasonable opinion, such delay is necessary in order to seek patent or similar protection for the TEKMIRA Arising IP subsisting in such Results and/or (b) to redact any TEKMIRA Confidential Information or TEKMIRA IP. A delay imposed on submission for publication as a result of a requirement made by TEKMIRA shall not last longer than is absolutely necessary to seek the required protection, and therefore shall not exceed one (1) month from the date of receipt of OXFORD’s notice to publish, although OXFORD will not unreasonably refuse a request from TEKMIRA for additional delay in the event that the property rights of TEKMIRA would otherwise be lost. Notification of the requirement for delay in submission for publication must be received by OXFORD within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the notice to publish by TEKMIRA, failing which OXFORD, its registered students and its Personnel shall be free to assume that TEKMIRA has no objection to the proposed publication.  OXFORD shall provide TEKMIRA a final copy of any pre-publication material to confirm the redaction of TEKMIRA Confidential Information or TEKMIRA IP required by TEKMIRA;

TEKMIRA shall, subject to Section 10.1, indemnify OXFORD and its Representatives (each, an “OXFORD Indemnitee”)against any and all claims, actions or demands, damages, costs and expenses (including any settlements or ex gratia payments made with the consent of TEKMIRA and any court costs and reasonable legal fees) incurred by OXFORD, the Trial Sites and the Representatives in connection with any claim made or brought (whether successfully or otherwise) by a Trial Subject (or their dependents) that result from the Investigational Medicinal Product supplied by TEKMIRA and its failure to comply with any requirement of this Agreement, GMP and/or applicable law, except to the extent that the same is caused by the negligence, wrongful acts or omissions or breach of statutory duty of any OXFORD Indemnitee.
 
10.3  
Conditions
 
10.3.1  
The indemnities set out in Section 10.1 and Section 10.2 shall not apply to any such claim or proceedings:
 
 
(a)  
unless as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of notice of such claim or proceedings, the Indemnified Person shall have notified the indemnifying Party in writing of it and shall, upon the indemnifying Party’s request and at that indemnifying Party’s cost, have permitted the indemnifying Party to have full care and control of the claim or proceedings using legal representation of its own choosing; or
 
 
(b)  
if the Indemnified Person shall have made any admission in respect of such claim or proceedings or taken any action relating to such claim or proceedings prejudicial to the defence of it without the written consent of the indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no Indemnified Person shall be deemed to be in breach of this condition by any statement properly made by the Indemnified Person in connection with the operation of the Indemnified Person’s internal complaint procedures, accident reporting procedures, or disciplinary procedures, or where such a statement is required by law.
 
10.3.2  
The indemnifying Party shall, in relation to any claim or proceedings it has assumed care and control of under Section 10.3.1(a):
 
 
(a)  
keep the Indemnified Pperson fully informed of the progress of any claim or proceedings;
 
 
(b)  
consult fully with the Indemnified Person on the nature of any defence to be advanced; and
 
 
(c)  
not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), enter into any settlement or compromise of such claim or proceedings which: (a) would result in injunctive or other relief being imposed against an Indemnified Person; or (b) does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant to all applicable Indemnified Persons of a release from liability in relation to such claim or proceedings.
 
10.3.3  
Each Party shall use its reasonable endeavours to inform the other Party promptly of any circumstances that are likely to give rise to a claim or proceedings in respect of which it may be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2; and shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of developments in relation to any such claim or proceedings, even where the Party does not intend to make a claim under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2.
 
 
20

 
10.3.4  
Each Party shall give to the indemnifying Party such assistance as it may reasonably require for the conduct and prompt handling of any such claim or proceedings.
 
10.3.5  
Nothing in Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 shall restrict or limit an Indemnified Person’s general obligation at law to mitigate a loss it may suffer or incur as a result of an event that gives rise to a claim under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2.
 
10.4  
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
 
10.4.1  
OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND SUBJECT TO SECTIONS 10.4.3 AND 10.4.4, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT LOSS OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY, WHETHER SUCH LOSS ARISES FROM BREACH OF A DUTY IN CONTRACT, TORT, UNDER STATUTE OR IN ANY OTHER WAY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS ARISING FROM NEGLIGENCE, DEFAULT, BREACH OF DUTY, PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY, NON-DELIVERY, DELAY IN DELIVERY OR DEFECTS OR ERRORS IN THE WORK UNDERTAKEN PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHER CLAIM REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY OTHER REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN FALLS.
 
10.4.2  
Each Party undertakes to make no claim in connection with this agreement or its subject matter against the other’s employees (apart from claims based on fraud or deliberate default). This undertaking is intended to give protection to individuals: it does not prejudice any right which either Party might have to claim against the other. The benefit conferred by this provision is intended to be enforceable by the persons referred to in it.
 
10.4.3  
The maximum liability (other than as regards obligations to make payments under Article 4) of each Party to the other Party under or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter shall not exceed £2,500,000 together with interest on the balance of such moneys from time to time outstanding, accruing from day to day at the Barclays Bank plc Base Rate from time to time in force and compounded annually as at 31 December. For the avoidance of doubt the indemnities set out in Section 10.1 shall be subject to the cap set out in this Section 10.4.3 of this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes a Party’s liability for: (a) death or personal injury resulting from its negligence; (b) any fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any sort of other liability which, by law, cannot be limited or excluded.
 
Article 11 Term and Termination
 
11.1  
Term
 
This Agreement will commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue in force until the earlier of (a) termination by either Party as provided herein or (b) completion of the Clinical Trial (the “Term”).
 
11.2  
Cancellation or Termination by OXFORD
 
11.2.1  
OXFORD acknowledges that TEKMIRA must commit considerable resources in advance of Manufacturing the Investigational Medicinal Product and supplying the Infusion Kits by purchasing raw materials and components, and allocating lab space, time, equipment and human resources. Accordingly, if OXFORD cancels delivery of Investigational Medicinal Product and/or Infusion Kits, or terminates this Agreement for reasons other than TEKMIRA’s material breach of this Agreement, TEKMIRA shall have the right to retain all Investigational Medicinal Product and Infusion Kits under production and not yet shipped. For clarity, this right of TEKMIRA to retain or to have Investigational Medicinal Product returned for its exclusive use, is in addition to and not in substitution of TEKMIRA’s right to retain the Deposit, and any such use by TEKMIRA shall be subject to prior discussion with OXFORD and the Wellcome Trust (with Wellcome Trust approval being necessary prior to TEKMIRA’s use of the returned or retained Investigational Medicinal Product).
 
 
21

 
11.2.2  
OXFORD shall have the right to reject any shipment of the Investigational Medicinal Product or Infusion Kits that does not conform with the requirements of this Agreement in all material respects. OXFORD shall not be required to pay any invoice with respect to any shipment of the Investigational Medicinal Product or the Infusion Kits properly rejected pursuant to this Section 11.2.2. At OXFORD's option, OXFORD shall be entitled either:
 
 
(a)  
to a refund of all Service Fees paid by the University with respect to such rejected shipment (including the Deposit); or
 
 
(b)  
to require TEKMIRA to replace such rejected shipment at no additional cost to OXFORD.
 
11.2.3  
In the event that OXFORD selects the option under Section 11.2.2(b) with respect to any shipment of the Investigational Medicinal Product or the Infusion Kits:
 
 
(a)  
TEKMIRA shall replace the rejected shipment as soon as reasonably practicable after the rejection; and
 
 
(b)  
TEKMIRA shall provide OXFORD with updated delivery information (including estimated delivery dates of replacement product) upon it becoming available.
 
11.3  
Termination for Cause
 
11.3.1  
Either Party may terminate this Agreement:
 
 
(a)  
for the other Party’s material or persistent breach of this Agreement. Prior to any such termination the Party seeking to terminate shall give the other Party thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention to so terminate, which notice will set forth the default(s) which form the basis for such termination. If the defaulting Party fails to correct such default(s) within the thirty (30) day notice period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate;
 
 
(b)  
with immediate effect on giving written notice to the other Party, if the other Party becomes insolvent, or if an order is made or a resolution is passed for its winding up (except for the purpose of solvent amalgamation or reconstruction), or if an administrator, administrative receiver or receiver is appointed over the whole or any part of the other Party’s assets, or if the other Party makes an arrangement with its creditors.
 
11.3.2  
If the application of the Chief Investigator or, as the case may be, OXFORD in relation to the Ethics Committee Opinion and/or the Regulatory Authority is finally rejected, and there is no possibility of appeal against such rejection, either Party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other Party.
 
11.3.3  
If, at any time during the Term, the Ethics Committee Opinion and/or the Regulatory Approval is suspended, revoked or otherwise terminated, and there is no possibility of appeal against such suspension, revocation or termination, either Party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other Party.
 
 
22

 
11.3.4  
This Agreement may be terminated by either Party with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other Party if it has reasonable and substantial grounds for believing the Clinical Trial should cease in the interests of the health and safety of the Trial Subjects or Representatives working in such Clinical Trial.
 
11.3.5  
The provisions of this Section 11.3 are without prejudice to Section 5.1.3 or any other rights a Party may have to terminate this Agreement.
 
11.3.6  
[***].
 
11.4  
Other Remedies
 
Section 11.3 will not be exclusive and will not be in lieu of any other remedies available to a Party hereto for any default hereunder on the part of the other Party.
 
11.5  
Continuing Obligations
 
Termination of this Agreement for any reason will not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior thereto and any obligations hereunder and will be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of either Party with respect to any antecedent breach of the provisions of this Agreement.
 
11.6  
Alternate Remedies
 
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed as preventing either Party from seeking specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief or any other provisional remedy from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of the Dispute as necessary to protect the name, Confidential Information or Intellectual Property belonging to either Party or their respective Representatives without proof of actual damages and without the posting of bond or security for costs.
 
Article 12 General Provisions
 
12.1

Neither Party will use the other Party’s name or the name of any member of that Party’s personnel in any advertising, packaging, promotional material, or any other publicity without the prior written approval of the other Party.

Amendment
 
This Agreement may be amended or modified only in writing signed by the Parties.
 
12.3  
Assignment and Subcontracting
 
The rights and obligations covered hereunder are personal to each Party hereto and for this reason this Agreement will not be assignable by either Party in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other Party in each instance; provided, however, that the restriction contained herein will in no way limit the rights of TEKMIRA to assign or appoint as its agent for any purpose of this Agreement any Affiliates or assign such rights to any Person or entity that purchases or licenses all or substantially all of the assets of TEKMIRA or its Affiliate or acquires or is combined with TEKMIRA in a merger or some other form of business combination. This Agreement will be binding upon and will enure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and to any permitted assignee or successor of either Party. Subject to other provisions of this Section 12.3, if one Party validly assigns any or all of its obligations hereunder, such assigning Party agrees to remain bound by all of its responsibilities and obligations hereunder. Any and all assignments of this Agreement or any interest herein not made in accordance with this Section 12.3 will be void ab initio.
 
 
23

 
12.4  
Counterparts
 
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts with the same effect as if both Parties had signed the same document. Both counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement may be executed by the Parties and transmitted by facsimile transmission or PDF copy, and if so executed and transmitted this Agreement shall be for all purposes as effective as if the Parties had delivered an executed original Agreement.
 
12.5  
Entire Agreement and Exhibits
 
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties, superseding any and all previous agreements, whether oral or written, as to any purchase of Investigational Medicinal Products or Services.  Each Exhibit is incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.
 
12.6  
Force Majeure
 
If either Party is prevented from complying, either totally or in part, with any of the terms or provisions set forth herein by reason by circumstances beyond its reasonable control (“force majeure”), including, by way of example and not of limitation, fire, flood, explosion, storm, riot, war, rebellion, accidents, acts of God, acts of governmental agencies or instrumentalities, inability to acquire sufficient raw materials, failure of suppliers or any other cause or externally induced casualty beyond its reasonable control, whether similar to the foregoing contingencies or not, said Party will provide written notice of same to the other Party. Said notice will be provided within seven (7) days of the occurrence of such event and will identify the requirements of this Agreement or such of its obligations as may be affected, and to the extent so affected, said obligations will be suspended during the period of such disability. The Party prevented from performing hereunder will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such disability and will continue performance of the affected obligations whenever such causes are removed provided that the Party will throughout the period of disability continue performance of the non-affected obligations. The Party so affected will give to the other Party a good faith estimate of the continuing effect of the force majeure condition and the duration of the affected Party’s non-performance. If the period of delay or non-performance continues for thirty (30) days, the Party not affected may terminate this Agreement by giving fourteen (14) days’ written notice to the affected Party.
 
12.7

Both Parties hereby undertake to do such further acts and take such steps as may be reasonably required to implement the intent of this Agreement.
