9.3           Exclusive Option to Improvements.  Revogenex shall provide prompt written notice to Coronado of each Improvement.

Coronado shall have a period of six (6) months from the receipt of written disclosure of each Improvement from Revogenex within which to exercise such option in writing with respect to each Improvement (the “Improvement Option Period”).  If Licensee exercises such option with respect to a particular Improvement (a “Licensed Improvement”), then from that day forward all such Patents covering such Licensed Improvement will be deemed Patents hereunder. During the Improvement Option Period for a particular Improvement, Revogenex shall not offer a commercial license to any other party with respect to such Improvement (or related patent rights). If Coronado does not exercise the Improvement Option for a particular Improvement during the applicable Improvement Option Period, Revogenex shall thereafter be free to license its rights in such Improvement to any Third Party.

Such embodiments of the technology and intellectual property shall be delivered to Coronado and its Affiliates not later than:

 

20 

 

 

(a)          the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings against Revogenex, upon written request, unless Revogenex elects to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or

 

(b)          if not delivered above under this Section 9.5 upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of Revogenex, upon Coronado’s written request.

 

9.6           Protection of Intellectual Property; Infringement and Enforcement Rights.

 

(a)          Should Coronado or any employee of Coronado make, discover, develop or assist in the development of any Improvements during the Term, Coronado shall forthwith disclose or cause the Improvement to be disclosed to Revogenex and such Improvement shall be deemed to be a part of the “Product Intellectual Property” and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. Revogenex shall own all right, title and interest in any Improvement, and any patent arising therefrom will be filed in the name of Revogenex, subject to the license granted to Coronado pursuant to this Agreement. If so requested by Revogenex, Coronado shall (i) reasonably assist in the filing of any patent applications domestic and/or foreign, in Revogenex’s name, which are necessary to protect the Product Intellectual Property and/or Improvements to the Product Intellectual Property, (ii) make available or supply to Revogenex such information or data as is necessary or convenient for the proper understanding or use of such Improvement, and (iii) provide technical assistance and sign all necessary legal papers for Revogenex’s protection of the Product Intellectual Property and/or Improvements including the filing of patent applications at Coronado’s expense.

 

(b)          Enforcement of Intellectual Property.

 

(i)          If either Party becomes aware of (i) any actual, potential, or alleged infringement of any of the rights to Product Intellectual Property granted to Coronado under this Agreement with respect to Products or a Paragraph W Certification (each of subclauses (i) and (ii), an “Action”) and, such Party shall give to the other Party prompt and reasonably detailed written notice of such actual, potential, or alleged infringement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall notify the other Party within two (2) business days of its receipt of, or receipt of notice of, any Paragraph W Certification. With respect to any Action, Coronado shall have the first and primary right, but not the obligation, to, at its expense, initiate, prosecute, and control any action or legal proceedings, and/or enter into a settlement, including any declaratory judgment action, with respect thereto; provided, however, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to Revogenex, Revogenex has available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims which are inconsistent with one or more defenses or counterclaims which may be alleged by Coronado, as a result of which representation would be advisable, Revogenex shall have the right, subject to the terms of this Section 9.6(b), to participate in such Action at its own cost and expense. In any such litigation brought by Coronado, Coronado shall have the right to use and sue in Revogenex’s name and join Revogenex as a party to such litigation, and Revogenex shall cooperate reasonably with respect thereto, as requested by Coronado. If, within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days of the notice in this Section 9.6(b)(i) (or, in the case of a Paragraph W Certification, thirty-five (35) calendar days from the date of Coronado’s receipt of the Paragraph W Certification or notice thereof from Revogenex), Coronado shall, (i) have been unsuccessful in persuading the actual, potential, or alleged infringer to desist, (ii) shall not have brought and shall not be diligently prosecuting an infringement or other action with respect to such actual, potential, or alleged infringement or Paragraph W Certification, or (iii) has not entered into settlement discussions with respect to such actual, potential, or alleged infringement or Paragraph W Certification, or if Coronado notifies Revogenex that it has decided not to undertake any of the foregoing against any such alleged, potential, or actual infringer or Third Party making such Paragraph W Certification, then Revogenex shall have the right, at its expense, to bring suit to enforce such Product Intellectual Property against such actual, alleged, or potential infringer, or take action with respect to such Paragraph W Certification, at its own expense, unless Coronado has provided Revogenex with a reasonable strategic rationale for not taking action to terminate such actual, potential, or alleged infringement or with respect to such Paragraph W Certification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Revogenex shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate thereof or Third Party to, proceed against an alleged infringer of the Product Intellectual Property in the Territory (1) unless (A) significant damages are reasonably expected to be recovered from the infringer in such proceeding or (B) Revogenex believes, in its reasonable discretion, that such infringement would materially and adversely affect its interest in the Product or the Product Intellectual Property and (2) without first consulting with Coronado regarding the strategy for such proceeding and considering in good faith Coronado’s comments regarding such proceeding.

 

21 

 

 

(ii)         Each Party involved in an Action under Section 9.6(i) shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Action.

 

(iii)        No Party shall settle or otherwise compromise (or resolve by consent to the entry of judgment upon) any Action by admitting that any Product Intellectual Property is to any extent invalid or unenforceable without the other Party’s prior written consent, and, in the case of Revogenex, Revogenex may not settle or otherwise compromise (or resolve by consent to the entry of judgment upon) an Action in a way that adversely affects or would be reasonably expected to adversely affect any of Coronado’s rights or benefits hereunder with respect to any Product Intellectual Property or Product, without Coronado’s prior written consent.

 

(iv)        Each Party (if it is not the Party enforcing or defending the Revogenex Intellectual Property) shall provide reasonable assistance to the other Party, including providing access to relevant documents and other evidence and making its employees and consultants available, subject to the other Party’s reimbursement of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred on an on-going basis by the non-enforcing or non-defending Party in providing such assistance.

 

(v)         Any amounts recovered by the Party initiating an Action pursuant to this Section 6.5, whether by settlement or judgment, shall be allocated in the following order: (i) to reimburse the Party initiating such Action for any costs incurred; (ii) to reimburse the Party not initiating such Action for its costs incurred in such Action, if it joins (as opposed to taking over) such Action; and (iii) the remaining amount of such recovery shall (A) if Coronado initiated the Action, the remainder shall be allocated to Coronado and the portion thereof attributable to “lost sales” shall be deemed to be Net Sales for the Calendar Quarter in which the amount is actually received by Coronado and Coronado shall pay to Revogenex a royalty on such portion based on the royalty rates set forth in Article 12, and the portion thereof not attributable to “lost sales” shall be allocated to Coronado and (B) if Revogenex initiated the Action, the remainder shall be allocated to Coronado and the portion thereof attributable to “lost sales” shall be deemed to be Net Sales for the Calendar Quarter in which the amount is actually received by Coronado and Coronado shall pay to Revogenex a royalty on such portion based on the royalty rates set forth in Article 12, and the portion thereof not attributable to “lost sales” shall be allocated to 50% to Revogenex and 50% to Coronado.

The Party defending such Third Party Action shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for such Third Party Action.

 

(c)          The Party defending a Third Party Action pursuant to Section 9.7(b) shall be the “Controlling Party”.

In the event the Controlling Party does not desire to file such an appeal, it will promptly, in a reasonable time period (i.e., with sufficient time for the non-Controlling Party to take whatever action may be necessary) before the date on which such right to appeal will lapse or otherwise diminish, permit the non-Controlling Party to pursue such appeal at such non-Controlling Party’s own cost and expense. If applicable Law requires the other Party’s involvement in an appeal, the other Party shall be a nominal party in the appeal and shall provide reasonable cooperation to such Party at such Party’s expense.

 

(e)          Subject to the respective indemnity obligations of the Parties set forth in this Agreement, the Controlling Party shall pay all costs and expenses associated with such Third Party Action other than the expenses of the other Party if the other Party elects to join such Third Party Action (as provided in the last sentence of Section 9.7(c)).

17.9         Alternative Dispute Resolution.  In the event of any dispute relating to this Agreement, the Parties shall refer such dispute to the Chief Executive Officer of Revogenex and the Chief Executive Officer of Coronado, who, as soon as is practicable, and in any event within 30 days, with the optional assistance of a mediator as provided below, shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. The Parties shall select a mediator who shall serve as an impartial facilitator of such discussion. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, a mediator shall be designated by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  The mediator shall be treated as a settlement discussion and therefore matters discussed will be privileged and confidential. The mediator may not testify for either Party in any later proceeding relating to the dispute, and no recording or transcript shall be made of the mediation proceedings. Each Party shall bear its own costs in the mediation and the fees and costs thereof shall be shared equally.

 

17.10         Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each Party also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court (except as may be necessary to protect its proprietary rights or obtain injunctive relief or specific performance). Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum, lack of jurisdiction or improper venue to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any Party may make service on the other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 17.1 above. Nothing in this Section 17.12, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or in equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or in equity.

 

17.11         THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

17.12         Assignment; Binding Effect.  The terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon Revogenex, Coronado and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as set forth below, neither Party may assign, sublicense or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other, except that assignments, sublicenses and transfers to an Affiliate of a Party may be made without written consent of the other Party; provided, such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that this Agreement shall not be assigned, sublicensed or transferred to an entity that does not own the Acquired Assets, the IND/NDA and all Regulatory Documentation, the Coronado Marks and the other documents described in Section 16.4 (collectively, the “Product Related Materials”) and Coronado will not transfer the Product Related Materials to any entity unless this Agreement is assigned in accordance with this Agreement in conjunction with such transfer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Revogenex shall, without consent of the other Party hereto, have the right to assign its rights in and to any payments hereunder and collaterally assign its rights in and to this Agreement and the Product Intellectual Property. Any attempt to assign this Agreement in violation of the provisions set forth herein shall be deemed a default by the assigning Party under this Agreement and null and void. Notwithstanding the forgoing, this Agreement shall be assignable by the other Party to any Person who acquires all or substantially all of the assets of such other Party or otherwise acquires the other Party, directly or indirectly (whether by purchase of stock, merger, consolidation or otherwise), including the Product Related Materials. Any permitted assignee of either Party will, as a condition to such assignment, assume all obligations of its assignor arising under this Agreement following such assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns and permitted transferees of the Parties hereto.

 

17.13         No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as may be set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Coronado nor Revogenex intend that any third Party is to benefit from the terms of this Agreement other than an Affiliate, successor or permitted assign.

 

17.14         Section Headings.  The titles or headings of all sections in this Agreement are for convenient reference only, are not part of this Agreement, and do not limit or otherwise affect its terms.

 

17.15         Independent Contractors.  Each of Coronado and Revogenex are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as to create a partnership, agency, or employer-employee relationship between Coronado and Revogenex. The rights, obligations and liabilities of the Parties shall be several and not joint or collective.

 

17.16         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

17.17         Further Assurances.  Each Party hereto agrees to execute such further documents or agreements and take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the purpose of this Agreement and carry out its provisions.

 

36 

 

 

17.18         Survival.  Notwithstanding any termination, expiration or cancellation of this Agreement, the terms and conditions set forth in Articles 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, and 17, and Sections 8.4, 9.2, 9.5, 12.4, 12.6, 16.2, 16.3, and 16.4 shall continue in full force and effect.
