If the Licensee fails to alleviate the NIAID’s concerns as to the items referenced in 13.5(a)-13.5(h) or fails to initiate corrective action to the NIAID’s satisfaction, the NIAID may terminate this Amended and Restated Agreement.
13.7The NIAID reserves the right according to 35 U.S.C. §209(d)(3) to terminate or modify this Amended and Restated Agreement if it is determined that the action is necessary to meet the requirements for public use specified by federal regulations issued after the date of the license and these requirements are not reasonably satisfied by the Licensee.

13.9Within [***] days of expiration or termination of this Amended and Restated Agreement under this Article 13, a final report shall be submitted by the Licensee. Any royalty payments, including those incurred but not yet paid (such as the full minimum annual royalty), and those related to patent expense, due to the NIAID shall become immediately due and payable upon termination or expiration. Unless otherwise specifically provided for under this Amended and Restated Agreement, upon termination or expiration of this Amended and Restated Agreement, the Licensee shall return all Licensed Products or other materials included within the Licensed Patent Rights to the NIAID or provide the NIAID with written certification of the destruction thereof. The Licensee may not be granted additional the NIAID licenses if the final reporting requirement is not fulfilled.
14.GENERAL PROVISIONS
14.1Neither party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Amended and Restated Agreement except in writing.

14.2This Amended and Restated Agreement (including all Appendices hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Amended and Restated Agreement) [***] constitute the entire agreement as from the Amendment Effective Date between the Parties relating to the subject matter of the Licensed Patent Rights, Licensed Products and Licensed Processes, and all prior negotiations, representations, agreements, and understandings are merged into, extinguished by, and completely expressed by this Amended and Restated Agreement.

EXECUTION VERSION

14.3The provisions of this Amended and Restated Agreement are severable, and in the event that any provision of this Amended and Restated Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any controlling body of law, this determination shall not in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amended and Restated Agreement.
14.4If either party desires a modification to this Amended and Restated Agreement, the Parties shall, upon reasonable notice of the proposed modification by the party desiring the change, confer in good faith to determine the desirability of the modification. No modification shall be effective until a written amendment is signed by the signatories to this Amended and Restated Agreement or their designees.
14.5The construction, validity, performance, and effect of this Amended and Restated Agreement shall be governed by Federal law as applied by the Federal courts in the District of Columbia. Any disputes relating to this Amended and Restated Agreement and/or the Original Agreement shall be governed by Federal law as applied by the Federal courts in the District of Columbia without regard to conflicts of law provisions. The United States District Court for the District of Columbia shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any suit, action, proceeding, or dispute arising out of or relating to this Amended and Restated Agreement and/or the Original Agreement or the applicability of this Amended and Restated Agreement and/or the Original Agreement that cannot be resolved by negotiation and agreement by the Parties.

14.6All notices required or permitted by this Amended and Restated Agreement shall be given either by email notice with read receipt, or prepaid or first class, registered or certified mail, or by an express/overnight delivery service provided by a commercial carrier, each properly addressed to the other party at the address designated on the Signature Page, or to any other address as may be designated in writing by such other party. Notices shall be considered timely if such notices are received on or before the established deadline date or sent on or before the deadline date as verifiable either by the read receipt, U.S. Postal Service postmark or dated receipt from a commercial carrier. Parties should request a legibly dated U.S. Postal Service postmark or obtain a dated receipt from a commercial carrier or the U.S. Postal Service.

14.7This Amended and Restated Agreement shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred (including any transfer by legal process or by operation of law, and any transfer in bankruptcy or insolvency, or in any other compulsory procedure or order of court) except to the Licensee’s Affiliate(s) without the prior written consent of the NIAID. The Parties agree that the identity of the Parties is material to the formation of this Amended and Restated Agreement and that the obligations under this Amended and Restated Agreement are nondelegable. In the event that the NIAID approves a proposed assignment, the Licensee shall pay the NIAID, as an additional royalty, [***] of the fair market value of any consideration received for any assignment of this Amended and Restated Agreement within [***] days of the assignment.
14.8The Licensee acknowledges that it is subject to and agrees to abide by the United States laws and regulations (including the Export Administration Act of 1979 and Arms Export Control Act) controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory prototypes, biological materials, and other commodities. The transfer of these items may require a license from the appropriate agency of the Government or written assurances by the Licensee that it shall not export these items to certain foreign countries without prior approval of the agency. The NIAID neither represents that a license is or is not required or that, if required, it shall be issued.
14.9The Licensee agrees to mark the Licensed Products or their packaging sold in the United States with all applicable U.S. patent numbers and similarly to indicate “Patent Pending” status. All Licensed Products manufactured in, shipped to, or sold in other countries shall be marked in a manner to preserve the Licensed Patent Rights in those countries.
