In the event of any conflict in meaning between any such licence and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. Prior to the execution of the formal licence(s) (if any) referred to in this clause, the Parties shall so far as possible have the same rights and obligations towards one another as if such licence(s) had been granted. The Parties shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that, to the extent permitted by relevant authorities, this Agreement shall not form part of any public record.
2.3   Sub-licensing
  2.3.1   The Licensee shall be entitled to grant a sub-licence of its rights under this Agreement to RBM provided that:
  (a)   the sub-licence shall include terms which are equivalent to the obligations and limitations (including limitations of liability) which apply to the Licensee under this Agreement and that RBM shall be subject to clause 4 of this agreement;
 
  (b)   the sub-licence shall terminate automatically on the termination of this Agreement for any reason save that CE shall in good faith negotiate with RBM the terms of a new sub-licence upon substantially equivalent terms;

  (e)   for the avoidance of doubt, all Sub-Licensees of RBM shall be treated as sub-licensees of the Licensee for the purposes of this Agreement, whether the rights are granted directly by the Licensee or by any Sub-Licensee; and
 
  (f)   in respect of clause 4 of this agreement all actions of RBM shall be considered those of the Licensee and the Licensee shall be responsible for making payments to CE.

The Licensee agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it has no right to enforce the Patents against any academic institution or restrict publication of any research by an academic institution relating to or using the Licensed Technology for not for profit purposes.
 
  (b)   Except for the rights expressly set out in this Agreement, no licence is granted in respect of the Licensed Technology or any other technology or patents of CE regardless of whether such technology or patents are dominant or subordinate to the Licensed Technology and all rights, title and interest in and to the Licensed Technology throughout the world now or hereafter are and shall remain the exclusive property of CE.
2.5   Business Difficulties
Copyright © 2003-8 University of Cambridge

Page 9 of 31


 

    Without prejudice to any other right or remedy which CE may have, if any of the events contemplated in clause 8.4(b) apply to the Licensee, the exclusivity of licence granted in clause 2.1(a) shall cease and the licence shall become non-exclusive.
 
3   Non Disclosure
 
3.1   Provision of Know-how
 
    Upon the Licensee’s reasonable request, CE shall arrange for the Principal Investigator to supply the Licensee with all Know-how in his possession that CE is at liberty to disclose and that has not previously been disclosed and which is reasonably necessary or desirable to enable the Licensee to undertake the further development of the Patents. The method of such supply shall be agreed between the Principal Investigator and the Licensee but shall not require the Principal Investigator to undertake any man-days of work, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties. If it is agreed that the Principal Investigator shall travel to the Licensee’s premises in connection with such supply, the Licensee shall reimburse all travel (at business class rates), accommodation and subsistence costs incurred.
 
3.2   Licensee to treat Know-how as confidential
 
    The Licensee receives the Know-how as Confidential Information. The Licensee shall not use the Know-how for any purpose except as expressly licensed hereby and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Licensee shall observe the provisions of clauses 3.3 to 3.6 and 8.5(b)(iv) in relation to the Know-how.
 
3.3   Confidentiality
 
    No Confidential Information disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Recipient Party”) under this Agreement may be disclosed by the Recipient Party to any person except:
  (a)   employees, officers, directors, auditors, or subcontractors of the Recipient Party or the University requiring the Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement;
 
  (b)   with the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party which consent may be given or withheld in its absolute discretion;
 
  (c)   to actual or potential customers or sub-licensees for Licensed Products in so far as such disclosure is necessary to promote the sale or use of Licensed Products;
 
  (d)   if the Recipient Party is required to do so by law (including the Freedom of Information Act 2000) or stock exchange; or
 
  (e)   if the Recipient Party is required to do so in connection with legal proceedings relating to this Agreement.

3.4   Use of Confidential Information
 
    No Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party may be used by the Recipient Party for any purpose other than the performance of the Recipient Party’s obligations or the exercise of the Recipient Party’s rights under this Agreement.
 
3.5   Disclosing Information
 
    Any party disclosing information under clause 3.3(a) (b) or (c) must use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that persons receiving Confidential Information from it
  (a)   do not disclose or use the information except in the circumstances permitted in clauses 3.3 and 3.4 and
 
  (b)   sign a written confidentiality undertaking in terms at least as restrictive as that binding the Recipient Party.
3.6   Exceptions to confidentiality obligations
  (a)   Clauses 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 do not apply to Confidential Information which:
  (i)   is in or becomes part of the public domain other than through breach of this Agreement or an obligation of confidence owed to the Disclosing Party;
 
  (ii)   the Recipient Party can prove by contemporaneous written documentation was already known to it at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party (unless that knowledge arose from disclosure of information in breach of an obligation of confidence).
  (b)   For the avoidance of doubt the Licensee acknowledges that
  (i)   CE is required to inform those inventors and others entitled to a share in CE receipts under this Agreement (including persons other than CE employees) of the basis of CE’s calculation of the share due; and
 
  (ii)   for the purpose of academic publication any academic who contributed to the creation or development of the Licensed Technology may have to declare to the publisher and in publications that the Licensee is licensed in respect of the Licensed Technology and that he or she has received or may receive income from exploitation of the Licensed Technology.
      If a disclosure described in this clause 3.6(b)(i) or (ii) includes Confidential Information, CE and the academic disclosing will be deemed to have permission to make such disclosure.
3.7   Return of information and survival of confidentiality obligations
  (a)   The Recipient Party must return to the Disclosing Party all documents
Copyright © 2003-8 University of Cambridge

Page 11 of 31


 

      or other materials containing or referring to Confidential Information (other than the Know-how) which are in its possession, power or control or in the possession, power or control of persons who have received Confidential Information from it under clause 3.3(a), (b) or (c) at any time if requested to do so by the Disclosing Party.
  (b)   The provisions of clauses 3.2 to 3.7 inclusive will survive the expiry or earlier termination (for whatever reason) of this Agreement for a period of five years for Know How and three years for other Confidential Information beginning on the date of last disclosure of the information.
4   Payments
 
4.1   Non-monetary and inadequate consideration
 
    The Licensee shall not accept and shall ensure that Sub Licensees do not accept, without the prior written consent of CE, any indirect or non-monetary consideration for any Licensed Product. The Licensee acknowledges that CE has granted the rights in clause 2.1 in consideration of the Licensee paying CE a share of the income the Licensee receives from any exploitation of those rights. The Licensee shall act in good faith towards CE in its commercial exploitation of the Licensed Technology. For the avoidance of doubt it is agreed that the Licensee has no licence to provide Licensed Products free or for inadequate consideration, including in order to avoid the obligation to pay CE a return under this Agreement or to derive any monetary or non-monetary receipt or benefit through other activity for itself, any party associated with it, any business partner, or (as defined in the Companies Act 2006) any subsidiary or holding company of the Licensee or subsidiary of any such holding company.
 
4.2   Royalties on all Net Sales of a Licensed Product by Psynova Neurotech and any Sub-Licensees
 
    Psynova Neurotech and any Sub-Licensee shall pay CE a royalty for each Licensed Product or part of one at the following rates:
  (a)   on Psynova Neurotech sales: [***]% of the Net Sales Value invoiced by Psynova Neurotech; and
 
  (b)   on Sub-Licensee sales: [***]% of the Net Sales Value invoiced by a Sub-Licensee.
If a Licensed Product would, but for the existence of suitable licences, infringe n patents and/or know-how licences from CE to Psynova then the total royalty due to CE (“TCER”) = 2 + (n-1)/2
If a Licensed Product would, but for the existence of suitable licences, infringe y patents and/or know-how licences from a third party to Psynova then the royalty due to CE = TCER x n/(n+y)
The minimum TCER shall be [***]%.

  (iv)   a milestone of £[***] for each sub-licence contract with the exception of any sub-licence granted to RBM
  (b)   The Licensee shall not arrange to receive Other Income rather than Royalties where this has the effect of reducing the total sum payable to CE by way of Royalty and Other Income.
 
  (c)   The Licensee shall also pay CE the percentage payments specified in clause 4.4(a) on any difference between Other Income received and that which would have been received had the transaction been an arm’s length transaction with an independent third party exclusively for money.

  (iv)   be made by the due date, failing which CE may charge reasonable debt recovery costs together with interest on any outstanding amount on a daily basis, compounded quarterly, from the day after the due date until payment at the statutory rate in force on the due date under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998; and
 
  (v)   be made in full without deduction of taxes, charges or duties, including bank charges or income tax.
  (d)   The payments due under clauses 4.3 and 4.4 shall be adjusted on each Anniversary by the percentage change if any between RPI published in the month immediately preceding such anniversary and the month immediately preceding the Commencement Date.

  (b)   The Licensee shall make such information available, on reasonable notice, for audit during business hours by a CE’s duly authorised representative for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of any report given by the Licensee to CE under this clause 4. The representative shall be required to keep confidential all information learnt during any such inspection, and to disclose to CE only such details as may be necessary to report on the accuracy of the Licensee’s financial reports.

  (a)   whether the Licensee has acted diligently; and if not
 
  (b)   what specific action the Licensee should have taken (“Specific Action”) in order to have acted diligently.
5.4   Independent Expert – appointment and decision
 
    The independent expert shall be appointed in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 2 and his decision shall be final and binding on the Parties.
 
5.5   CE’s right to terminate
 
    If the expert determines that the Licensee has failed to comply with its obligations under this clause 5, and if the Licensee fails to take the Specific Action within 3 months of the expert giving his decision in accordance with Schedule 2, CE shall be entitled, by giving, at any time within 3 months after the end of that 3 month period, not less than 21 days’ notice to terminate this Agreement and the licences granted to the Licensee under clause 2.
 
5.6   Sub-licensing of undeveloped applications
 
    If CE becomes aware (or if a third party becomes aware and notifies CE) that any of the Patents are useful for an application covered by the Field but for

    which Licensed Products have not been developed or are not currently under development by the Licensee, then the CE may give written notice to the Licensee. Within ninety (90) days following the Licensee’s receipt of CE’s notification the Licensee shall give CE written notice stating whether the Licensee elects to develop Licensed Products for the application. If the Licensee elects to develop and commercialise the proposed Licensed Products for the new application, the Licensee shall submit a progress report describing Licensee’s commercialisation efforts in developing the new application as part of the commercialisation report required by clause 5.2. If the Licensee does not so elect, then CE may at its discretion
  (a)   direct the Licensee (subject to appropriate due diligence) to grant or
 
  (b)   itself grant
    a licence in a specific sub-field of the Field and such a sub-field will be removed from the Field. CE shall give the Licensee an opportunity to comment on these options and will consider these comments before making its decision. CE’s sub-licensee will be required to reimburse the Licensee for such portion of the patent cost reimbursement fee paid to CE on the Commencement Date as may be reasonable in the circumstances.
6   Intellectual property
 
6.1   Patent protection
 
    The Licensee shall at its own cost and expense:
  (a)   endeavour to obtain valid patents in the name of CE pursuant to each patent application listed in Schedule 1 so as to secure the broadest monopoly reasonably available including the filing of divisional applications where appropriate; and
 
  (b)   pay all renewal fees in respect of the Patents as and when due; and
 
  (c)   ensure that CE receives copies of all correspondence concerning each patent application listed in Schedule 1
    provided that if the Licensee wishes to abandon any such application or not to maintain any such Patent in the whole of any part of the Territory (or to cease funding such application or Patent) it shall give 3 months’ prior written notice to CE and on the expiry of such notice period unless CE notifies the Licensee otherwise the Licensee shall cease to be licensed for the whole or part of the Territory under the patent application or patent identified in the notice.
 
6.2   Infringement of the Patents
  (a)   Each Party shall inform the other Party promptly if it becomes aware of any infringement or potential infringement of any of the Patents in the Field.
 
  (b)   Subject to clause 6.2(c), the Licensee shall be entitled to take legal or
Copyright © 2003-8 University of Cambridge

Page 17 of 31


 

      other action against any third party to enforce the Patents at its sole expense. If the alleged infringement is both within and outside the Field, the Parties shall also co-operate with CE’s other licensees (if any) in relation to any such action.
      If required by law CE shall agree to be joined in any such legal action (and may elect to take part in the proceedings) subject to being indemnified and secured in a reasonable manner as to any costs, damages, expenses or other liability and having the right to be separately represented by its own counsel at its own expense.
 
  (c)   Before starting legal action in accordance with sub-clause 6.2(b) or agreeing to any settlement, the Licensee shall consult CE and take its views into account about the advisability of the action or settlement, its effect on the University and CE’s reputation and good name, the effect on any other CE licensees of any of the Licensed Technology, the public interest and how the action should be conducted. Any monetary recovery from any legal or other action shall be dealt with as follows: Each Party shall be reimbursed any expenses reasonably incurred in securing the sums recovered. Except where the Licensee is permitted to sub-license when the balance shall be deemed to be Other Income, CE shall receive 25% of the balance. Clause 2.3 specifies the extent to which the Licensee may grant a sub-licence to an infringer.
 
  (d)   In the event that the Licensee is unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist or fails to have initiated an infringement action within six months of the Licensee first becoming aware of the basis for such action, CE shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to prosecute such infringement under its sole control and its sole expense, and any recovery obtained shall belong to CE.
6.3   Infringement of third party rights
  (a)   If any warning letter or other notice of infringement is received by a Party, or legal action is brought against a Party, alleging infringement of third party rights in the manufacture, use or sale of any Licensed Product or use of any Patents, that Party shall promptly provide full details to the other Party, and the Parties shall discuss the best way to respond.
 
  (b)   The Licensee shall have the right but not the obligation to defend such action and shall have the right to settle with such third party, provided that if any action or proposed settlement involves the making of any statement, express or implied, concerning the validity of any Patent, the consent of CE must be obtained before taking such action or making such settlement.
7   Warranties and liability

  (b)   CE warrants that the University and the Inventors have assigned to CE all their intellectual property rights in the Patents.
 
  (c)   Except as provided by Clause 7.2(b) CE makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, concerning the Licensed Technology including (i) as to the satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose (ii) as to the absence of latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable (iii) as to the validity or scope of the Patents or (iv) that the exploitation of the Licensed Technology or any Licensed Product will not infringe any patents or other intellectual property rights of a third party and all conditions, warranties or other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded from this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by law.
7.3   Liability and indemnity
  (a)   The limitations and exclusions in this Agreement shall not apply in respect of claims for personal injury or death caused by negligence of CE, the University, the University’s employees or students, the Inventors or the Principal Investigator or in respect of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
  (b)   In respect of any damages or expenses of whatsoever nature and howsoever arising (including in contract, tort, negligence or for breach of statutory duty or misrepresentation) in connection with any use of the Licensed Technology or the manufacture, use or sale of or any other dealing in the Licensed Products or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any relationships established by it:
  (i)   the aggregate liability of CE, the University, the University’s employees and students, the Inventors and the Principal Investigator shall be limited to the total income which CE has received from the Licensee (less any expenses which CE has incurred in obtaining, maintaining or defending the Patents) during the six years, preceding the year of the Term in which

  (c)   The Licensee shall indemnify CE, the University, the University’s employees and students and the Inventors and Principal Investigator up to £1,000,000 against all direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special liability, loss, damages or expenses, including legal and other professional fees and expenses, howsoever arising (including in contract, tort, negligence or for breach of statutory duty or misrepresentation) from or in connection with any claim or threatened claim by any third party relating to or arising from the use by the Licensee or any Sub-Licensee of the Licensed Technology or otherwise in connection with the manufacture, use or sale of or any other dealing in any of the Licensed Products by the Licensee or any Sub-Licensee. Nothing in this sub-clause shall prevent the Licensee recovering from CE, subject to the exclusions and limitations set out this Agreement, damages due to the Licensee for default by CE of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
8   Duration and termination
 
8.1   Commencement and termination by expiry
 
    This Agreement, and the licences granted hereunder, shall come into effect on the Commencement Date and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this clause 8, shall continue in force on a country by country basis until the date on which all the Patents have expired or been revoked without a right of further appeal.

    If the Parties are unable to settle any dispute by negotiation within 28 days the Parties will attempt to settle it by mediation in accordance with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) Model Mediation Procedure.
 
    To initiate a mediation a party must give notice in writing to the other party, requesting a mediation in accordance with this clause 9.

10   General
 
10.1   Force majeure.
  (a)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Party need act if it is impossible to act due to force majeure, meaning any cause beyond its control (including war, riot, natural disaster, labour dispute, or law taking effect after the date of this Agreement). A Party affected by force majeure agrees to notify the other Party promptly after it determines that it is unable to act.
 
  (b)   A Party has no responsibility or liability for any loss or expense suffered or incurred by the other Party as a result of its not acting for so long as the force majeure under clause 10.1 continues.

The Licensee shall notify CE of any such assignment.
10.3   Waiver
 
    A provision of this Agreement or any right created under it cannot be waived or varied except in writing signed by the Parties.
 
10.4   Invalid clauses
 
    If the whole or any part of a provision of this Agreement is void, unenforceable or illegal in a jurisdiction it is severed for that jurisdiction. The remainder of this Agreement has full force and effect and the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction is not affected.
