AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:
| 1 | DEFINITIONS. |
As used herein:
1.1 “Claim(s)” shall mean any method claim within any licensed Patent Rights which (i) has not expired and which has not been declared invalid or unenforceable by decision of a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, that determination having not been finally appealed or not being appropriate for or subject to appeal; or (ii) has not been surrendered by the assignee or patentee during reissue or re-examination.
1.2 “Field” or “Field of Use” means any field of use other than the Excluded Business.
1.3 “Improvement(s)” means any enhancement or modification of an invention described and claimed in the licensed Patent Rights, provided such enhancement or modification, if unlicensed, would infringe one or more claims of the Patent Rights.
1.4 “Licensor Marks” means use of the Trademarks set forth on Schedule B, subject, at all times, to the limited license grant and use restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
1.5 “Patent Rights” means the United States and foreign Patents owned by Licensor as of Closing that are set forth on Schedule A, solely with respect to method Claims set forth therein (and for avoidance of doubt, expressly excluding Claims relating to composition of matter and product-by-process) to use or sell Products within the Field, together with all reissues, reexaminations, renewals, extensions, supplementary protection certifications and restorations issuing on the original subject matter of the method Claims licensed hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the composition of matter claims and product-by-process claims for the Patent Rights set forth in Schedule A will be provided as part of the Tech Transfer (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) between the two Parties as contemplated under the Purchase Agreement.
1.6 “Product(s)” shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
1.7 “Sales,” “sell,” or “sold” shall mean any sale, transfer, lease, permission to use, or other transfer of the right of possession or other conveyance of Products to a third party by Licensee or any sublicensee.
1.8 “Territory” shall mean worldwide, it being understood that Licensor grants no greater rights as to territory than are present and available within any of the Patent Rights licensed in this Agreement.
| 2 | PATENT LICENSES. |
2.1 License Grant to Licensee. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor grants to Licensee, to the full extent of Licensor’s granting power, a perpetual license to the Patent Rights and to practice under the Claims, subject to Licensor’s exclusive rights set forth in Section 2.2 and in Section 6, in order to make, have made, sell, offer for sale, use, advertise, market, promote, distribute, import, and export, and service products and services within the Field of Use in the Territory, with the right to grant commensurate sublicenses solely as set forth in Section 2.5.
2.2 Exclusivity. The license in Section 2.1 is exclusive within the Field of Use in the Territory, except that it is subject, at all times, to Licensor’s rights to fully exploit the Patents and the Patent Rights set forth in Schedule A without restriction in or related to the Excluded Business. Licensor shall retain all royalties generated by any such licenses to such Patent Rights in connection with or related to the Excluded Business that it grants to third parties.
2
2.3 No Assignment; Reservation of Rights. No different, other, or further license is intended or granted by this Agreement, and this is not an assignment by Licensor of any right, title, or interest in the Patent Rights to Licensee; all rights, title, and interests to the Patent Rights not expressly granted by Licensor in this Agreement are reserved by Licensor.
2.4 Rights to Improvements and Derivative Works. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, each Party has the right to make Improvements. After the Closing Date, Licensor shall have no obligation to disclose or otherwise share any Improvements related to the Patent Rights and Licensee shall have no rights in the same. Licensor will not directly or indirectly enforce or assert any Improvement (including any patent or patent application claiming such Improvement) in a manner that would materially impair, restrict, or prevent Licensee from exercising the rights as to the Patent Rights expressly granted to Licensee under Section 2.1 of this Agreement.
2.5 Sublicenses. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 6, the rights of Licensee under this Agreement to use the Patent Rights to make, have made, sell, offer for sale, use, advertise, market, promote, distribute, import, export, and service Products within the Field of Use in the Territory, or for other applications in connection with the operation of the Acquired Companies within the Field of Use, may be sublicensed throughout the Territory, in whole or in part, to: (i) Affiliates of Licensee Parent; and (ii) third parties, in each case without the prior written approval of Licensor; provided, that (a) Licensee provides to Licensor written notice of any such sublicense within a reasonable time of entering into such sublicense or upon the written request of Licensor, (b) Licensee agrees that it will not sublicense the Patent Rights to any third party that has infringed or is infringing the Patent Rights or is party to a judicial proceeding or arbitration with respect to the Patent Rights, in each case, of which Licensee is aware or for which Licensor has provided written notice to Licensee; and (c) all sublicensees are bound by written license agreements with confidentiality obligations and restrictions with respect to the sublicensed Patent Rights substantially similar to the restrictions set forth herein.
2.6 Joint and Several Liability. Licensee agrees to cause each sublicensee to which rights hereunder are sublicensed to fully comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable sublicense agreement. In any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a given sublicense agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Licensee shall be jointly and severally liable with each sublicensee that fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall automatically cause all sublicenses to terminate at the same time as this Agreement.
| 3 | PROSECUTION; MAINTENANCE; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. |
3.1 Prosecution. Licensor will continue to prosecute all pending patent applications included in the Patent Rights at its sole cost and expense (except as set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 below). If, for any reason, Licensor decides in its sole discretion to discontinue prosecution of any such patent application, Licensor will provide Licensee with reasonable advance written notice prior to the applicable deadline and allow Licensee to take the required prosecution action. If Licensor permits Licensee to take over prosecution, Licensor will assign all of its rights, title and interests in the patent application to Licensee. If Licensee elects not to take over prosecution, Licensor may, in its reasonable discretion and upon providing written notice to Licensee, assign the patent application to a third party (provided, that such assignment is subject to the terms of this Agreement) or will allow the patent application to go abandoned. In the event of an assignment to Licensee pursuant to this Section 3.1, Licensor further agrees to execute upon request any other lawful documents and perform all other actions reasonably necessary to assign each and record such transferred patent application to Licensee.
3
3.2 Further Filings. With respect to the Patent Rights licensed hereunder, if Licensee requests in writing that Licensor file a patent application or validate a patent in a jurisdiction that Licensor does not elect to pursue, Licensor will file such patent application or validation only if Licensee agrees to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the associated costs, fees and/or expenses to prosecute and/or maintain patent protection in such jurisdiction. All outside counsel and agent fees to be reimbursed by Licensee (if any) must be reasonable, at standard market rates, with no mark-ups, supported by detailed invoices. Any single action, renewal, or country filing above $10,000 USD requires Licensee’s prior written approval. Once the applicable patent application or validation is filed, continued prosecution shall be governed by Section 3.1 and the payment of all maintenance, annuity, and/or renewal fees shall be governed by Section 3.3.
3.3 Maintenance. Except as provided in Sections 3.1 or 3.2, Licensor will be responsible for payment of all maintenance, annuity, and/or renewal fees for any Patent Rights. If, for any reason, Licensor decides in its sole discretion to cease payment of such fees or to otherwise maintain any Patent Rights or patent applications, Licensor will provide Licensee with reasonable advance written notice prior to the applicable deadline for payment of such fees. If Licensee elects to and does pay such fees, Licensor will assign all of its rights, title and interests in the applicable Patent Rights to Licensee and will execute powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary to enable Licensee’s control over prosecution and maintenance. Licensor represents and warrants that, at the time any assignment under this Section 3.3 takes effect, the assigned Patent Rights will be free and clear of all Liens. If Licensee elects not to pay such fees, Licensor may, in its reasonable discretion and upon providing written notice to Licensee, assign the patent application to a third party (provided that such assignment is subject to the terms of this Agreement) or will allow the applicable Patent Rights to expire or go abandoned. In the event of an assignment to Licensee pursuant to this Section 3.3, Licensor further agrees to execute upon request any other lawful documents and perform all other actions reasonably necessary to assign and record such transferred Patent Rights to Licensee.
| 4 | NOTICE OF INFRINGEMENT AND ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS. |
4.1 Marking. Licensee agrees to mark its Products associated labels, packaging, and advertising and marketing materials with appropriate Patent Rights notices as reasonably directed by Licensor.
4.2 Notice of Infringement. Licensor shall have no obligation to institute or maintain any action or suit against third parties for infringement or misappropriation of any Patent Rights, or to defend any action or suit brought by a third party that challenges or concerns the validity of the Patent Rights or claims that the practice of any Patent Rights infringes or constitutes a misappropriation of any intellectual property rights of a third party. Upon either Party’s learning of any infringement, misappropriation, or other unauthorized use of the Patent Rights, such Party shall promptly inform the other Party in writing.
4
4.3 Enforcement.
4.3.1 Subject to Section 4.3.2, Licensee has the first right, but not the obligation, to institute, control, and resolve any enforcement action for infringement or misappropriation of the Patent Rights to the extent such action is related exclusively to activity within the Field. Licensor will reasonably cooperate and, if required for standing, will be joined or named as a party (at Licensee’s expense) without diminishing Licensee’s control. If Licensee declines to file within 90 days after written notice of a material infringement in the Field or thereafter fails to diligently pursue an action after notice, Licensor shall have the right to institute, control, and resolve any enforcement action or defense of the Patent Rights under this Agreement.
4.3.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor has the first right, but not the obligation, to institute, control, and resolve any enforcement action for infringement or misappropriation of the Patents set forth in Schedule A outside of the Field or to defend the Patents set forth in Schedule A outside of the Field. To the extent Licensee enforces the Patents set forth in Schedule A, Licensor shall reasonably cooperate at Licensee’s expense. If Licensee declines to enforce within ninety (90) days of written notice of infringement, Licensor may enforce.
4.3.3 To the extent that Licensor steps in to enforce, Licensee will reasonably cooperate and provide support. No Party may settle any enforcement action in a manner that binds or restricts the other Party’s rights in the Patent Rights without that Party’s prior written consent, which shall not to be unreasonably withheld. Any recovery, damages, or settlement consideration shall be applied first to reimburse the Parties’ reasonable, documented out-of-pocket enforcement costs pro rata based on amounts actually incurred, with any remainder allocated 100% to the Party controlling the enforcement action.
4.4 Cooperation. In any legal proceeding involving any of the Patent Rights (including an infringement lawsuit, declaratory judgment action, ITC action, or a proceeding in the USPTO, CIPO, or before any other similar governmental authority), if Licensee is required to participate in such legal proceeding in order to avoid prejudicing the rights of Licensor, then Licensee shall participate in such proceedings at Licensor’s request, including reasonably cooperating (and causing its employees to reasonably cooperate) with Licensor in such legal proceeding and joining such legal proceeding as a party (including as a party plaintiff) to the proceedings. In any case, the Parties agree to cooperate at their respective cost and expense in connection with any actions or proceedings under this Section 4, and with any reasonable request to assign, file, or prosecute the intellectual property rights in the Patent Rights.
4.5 Covenant Not to Sue. Licensor agrees that Licensor, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, shall not Assert (as defined below) against Licensee any Patent Rights licensed to Licensee hereunder against Licensee, its Affiliates, or its or their, direct or indirect, customers, distributors, agents, and contractors (each, a “Licensee Covered Party”), in each case, only to the extent that each Licensee Covered Party is practicing such Patent Rights within the Field of Use and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Licensor further agrees that it shall not Assert against a Licensee Covered Party, any rights in its patent application, Application No. 18/201,119, or any continuation or continuation-in-part thereof, in a manner that would materially impair, restrict, or prevent Licensee from exercising any of the Patent Rights licensed to Licensee hereunder, only to the extent that each Licensee Covered Party is practicing in the Field of Use and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Licensee agrees that Licensee, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, shall not Assert (as defined below), against Licensor, or any of its licensors or their respective customers, any Business Intellectual Property licensed to Licensor hereunder against Licensor, its Affiliates, or its or their, direct or indirect, customers, distributors, agents, and contractors in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. “Assert” means to bring an action of any nature before any legal, judicial, arbitration, administrative, executive, or other type of body or tribunal that has or claims to have authority to adjudicate such action in whole or in part. Examples of such body or tribunal include, without limitation, United States State and Federal Courts, the United States International Trade Commission, and any foreign counterparts of any of the foregoing.

| 4.6.1 | Except as permitted by Section 10.8, and except for U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association’s encumbrances existing before the effective date of this Agreement that are subject to the Non-Disturbance Agreement between Licensee and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, Licensor has not otherwise encumbered the Patent Rights and shall not encumber the Patent Rights licensed under this Agreement while any Claim(s) remain valid. To the extent that, in connection with the completion of a Tech Transfer in accordance with terms of the Purchase Agreement, the terms of this Agreement and/or the Non-Disturbance Agreement reasonably need to be modified, extended, or otherwise amended in connection with the Tech Transfer, Licensor will use all reasonable efforts to obtain any consents from Licensor’s secured creditor(s) as necessary to facilitate the Tech Transfer and the Parties will cooperate in good faith to amend this Agreement and/or the Non-Disturbance Agreement to the extent necessary. |
| 4.6.2 | For purposes of this Section 4.6.2, a “Patent Action” means any claim or Action in any litigation or administrative proceeding (a) alleging that the patents set forth on Schedule A (including the Patent Rights), or other Intellectual Property owned, controlled by, or licensed to Licensor as of the Closing Date is invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise not patentable; or (b) that prevents or blocks or is designed to prevent or block, Licensor or its successors, assignees, or licensees from exploiting the patents set forth on Schedule A in connection with the Excluded Business. If Licensee or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly through any third party, participates in or assists in any Patent Action, Licensor may, in its discretion, immediately convert the license granted to Licensee under this Agreement to a non-exclusive license to the Patent Rights. |

No Party may assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto; provided, however, that either Party may (a) assign any or all of its rights hereunder to one or more of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, or (b) collaterally assign its rights hereunder to any financial institution providing financing to the Party or its Affiliates; provided that such assignment will be subject to Licensee’s rights under this Agreement, and include a non-disturbance agreement similar in form and substance to the Non-Disturbance Agreement (including any amendments thereto made in accordance with Section 4.6.1) or an assignment of the Non-Disturbance Agreement with such financial institution.

It is accordingly agreed that the Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the covenants and agreements of this Agreement and to seek specific performance to enforce the covenants and agreements hereof to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or enforce compliance with, the covenants and agreements of this Agreement, this being in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. Each Party agrees that it will not raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief as provided herein, including objections on the basis that (a) either Party has an adequate remedy at law or equity or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the covenants and agreements of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
