Withdrawal Notice, the restrictions in this Section 9.1.4 with respect to Joint Foreground IP shall terminate automatically.

9.1.5 Covenant not to sue. During the Term, unless and until a delivery by Immunocore to GNE of a Co-Funding Withdrawal Notice, GNE covenants for the benefit of Immunocore, its Sublicensees and their Controlled Affiliates, that it shall not, and it shall procure that GNE’s Sublicensees and their Controlled Affiliates shall not, anywhere in the Territory, institute (or in any way assist any Third Party in instituting or prosecuting), at law or in equity, any claim, demand, action or cause of action for damages, costs, expenses or compensation, or for an enjoinment, injunction, or any other equitable remedy, against Immunocore, its Sublicensees and their Controlled Affiliates alleging the infringement of any Patents or Know-How Covering CD3 Effector (including anti-CD3 antibodies, antigen-binding fragments thereof and other derivatives and variants) against Immunocore, its Sublicensees and their Controlled Affiliates with respect to any acts or activities they undertake in researching, developing, making, using, importing, selling and offering for sale Licensed Products and/or Companion Diagnostic in the Field in the Territory. For the avoidance of doubt, the covenant not to sue in this Section shall only apply to activities undertaken in relation to the Licensed Products and any Companion Diagnostics.

9.1.6 Sublicenses. Each Party shall have the right to grant sublicenses to its Affiliates without the consent of the other Party, but otherwise shall only grant sublicenses to Third Parties under the licenses in Section 9.1.1 with the prior written consent of the other Party.

(b) be in writing;

(c) contain obligations on the Sublicensee equivalent to those set out in this Agreement as applicable; and

(d) each Party shall continue to be responsible for all actions and omissions of any Sublicensee that it appoints including where such actions and omissions result in a breach of the terms of this Agreement.

The remaining licenses and rights in this Article 9 shall remain in full force and effect.

9.2 GNE Right of First Negotiation in Respect of Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound.

9.2.1 Option Grant to GNE. If at any time during the Term, Immunocore discovers an Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound and Immunocore decides to grant rights to a Third Party to commercialise (including through co-promotion and/or co-marketing) such Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound, Immunocore hereby grants to GNE, on an Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound-by-Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound basis, the option to negotiate the right to commercialize such Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound (including in each case any derivatives or variants thereof), in parallel with any Third Party. For the avoidance of doubt nothing in this Section 9.2 shall prevent:

(a) Immunocore from entering into an agreement regarding the conduct of a clinical combination trial in circumstances where no rights to commercialise Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound are granted to a Third Party;

(b) Immunocore from entering into negotiations with Third Parties regarding the same Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound at the same time as Immunocore is negotiating with GNE pursuant to this Section 9.2 regarding such Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound provided that no agreement is signed with a Third Party prior to the end of the period of negotiation granted to GNE pursuant to Section 9.2.3 and subject to the terms of Section 9.2.3.

9.2.2 Notice to GNE. Immunocore shall give notice in writing to GNE of its decision to seek and/or accept from a Third Party the right (including without limitation any option, license or other right to acquire the right) to commercialise Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound. In conjunction with such notice, Immunocore shall provide to GNE the Initial Data Package for such Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound. Following receipt of such notice from Immunocore, GNE shall have [***] within which to notify Immunocore in writing whether it wishes to be granted the right to commercialise such Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound. If GNE notifies Immunocore in writing prior to the end of such period, that it wishes to be granted the right to commercialise such Licensed Products then Immunocore shall provide to GNE the Full Data Package for such Licensed Products.

9.2.3 Exercise of an Option. If GNE notifies Immunocore that it wishes to be granted such rights, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of [***] from (a) the delivery of the Full Data Package to GNE, or (b) such longer period as the Parties may agree, the terms under which GNE shall be granted such rights. If at the end of such period the Parties have not agreed on the terms of such rights, Immunocore may at any time within [***] from the last day of the [***] negotiation period referred to above, and to any Third Party, grant such rights to commercialise the Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound under a written agreement (each a “Third Party Agreement”). If

Execution Copy

Immunocore has not signed a definitive agreement relating to a Third Party Agreement by the date [***] from the last day of the [***] negotiation period referred to above (or if such negotiation period is extended by the Parties, from the date that the Parties terminate negotiations) then the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall re-apply and before entering into any Third Party Agreement Immunocore must serve a further notice under Section 9.2.2.

9.2.4 Expiration of Option. The options granted to GNE under this Section 9.2 shall expire upon the First Commercial Sale of an Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound against such Target.

9.2.5 Financial Funding of Development and Commercialisation of Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compounds. For the avoidance of any doubt the obligations under Section 9.2 shall not preclude Immunocore from seeking funding from Third Parties in respect of the development or commercialisation of Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compounds; provided that Immunocore (i) does not grant such Third Party the option, right or license to develop (except as permitted pursuant to Section 9.2.1) and/or commercialise any one Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compound, multiple Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compounds, or all the Other HLA/MAGE-A4 Compounds; and (ii) Immunocore remains responsible for such development and commercialisation.

9.3 No Additional Licenses. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall grant either Party any right, title or interest in and to the Know-How, Patents or other intellectual property rights of the other Party (either expressly or by implication or estoppel),

13.5.3 Know-Bow Products. If in any calendar quarter, the sale of a Licensed Product that contains MAGE-A4 Compound and/or any Enhanced MAGE-A4 Compound is not Covered by a Valid Claim in the country in which such Licensed Product is sold, then GNE shall pay to Immunocore, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, and subject to the terms of Section 13.5.4 through 13.5.6, a royalty equivalent to [***] of the amounts specified in Section 13.5.1 on annual aggregate worldwide Net Sales of such Licensed Product.

13.5.4 Payment Offsets:

(a) Third Party Payments.

(i) Immunocore. Immunocore shall continue to have the obligation to make payments owed under written agreements entered into by Immunocore with Third Parties which relate to any Licensed Product, as of the Effective Date or during the Term.

(ii) GNE. Subject to 15.6, if, after the Effective Date, GNE or its Sublicensees obtains a right or license under any intellectual property of a Third Party, where the making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing of a Licensed Product by GNE or its Sublicensee would in the absence of such right or license infringe the intellectual property of a Third Party, then GNE may offset the payments due and payable to Immunocore with respect to such Licensed Product by the amount of payments paid by GNE or its Sublicensee to such Third Party for such right or license; provided, that in no event shall such reductions reduce the payments owed to Immunocore for such Licensed Product by [***] of what would otherwise be owed by GNE or its Sublicensee to Immunocore.

(b) Biosimilar. Following the first commercial sale of a Biosimilar in a country and:

(i) such Biosimilar is Covered by a Valid Claim [***] Covering the Licensed Product in such country, and [***], no royalty reduction may be made under this Section 13.5.4(b);

(ii) such Biosimilar is Covered by a Valid Claim [***] in such country, and [***], and where [***], the royalties due and payable by GNE hereunder shall be reduced by [***] in such country;

(iv) such Biosimilar is not Covered by a Valid Claim in such country, the royalties due and payable by GNE or its Sublicensee hereunder shall be reduced by [***] in such country [***].

(c) The reduction in royalties under Section 13.5.4(b)(ii) and 13.5.4(b)(iii) shall only apply during the period of time that [***] in such country. For the purpose of this Section

13.5.4(c), [***]. As used herein, “Biosimilar” means any drug or biological product that is interchangeable directly with any Licensed Product and which is subject to review under an abbreviated approval pathway as a biosimilar, follow-on biologic or generic biological product, as those terms are commonly understood under the FD&C Act or the PHS Act and related rules and regulations, or the corresponding or similar laws, rules and regulations of any other jurisdiction and (1) where such Biosimilar obtains Regulatory Approval or is otherwise sold by a Third Party that is not GNE or a Sublicensee; and (2) where GNE or its Sublicensees have not directly authorised or permitted such Third Party to market, manufacture and sell such product in the market in question.

(d) The cumulative reduction made under Sections 13.5.4 (a), 13.5.4(b)(ii) and 13.5.4(b)(iii) in a country shall not exceed a total of [***] of what would otherwise be owed by GNE to Immunocore in accordance with Sections 13.5.1 through 13.5.3 in such country.

13.5.5 Single Royalty. No more than one royalty payment shall be due under this Section 13.5 with respect to a sale of a particular Licensed Product. For the avoidance of doubt: (a) multiple royalties shall not be payable because the sale of a particular Licensed Product is Covered by more than one (1) Valid Claim in the country in which such Licensed Product is sold; and (b) in no event shall GNE and/or its Affiliates or Sublicensees be obligated to simultaneously pay (i) a royalty under Section 13.5.1 with respect to a sale of a particular Licensed Product that is subject to Section 13.5.2 or Section 13.5.3, or (ii) a royalty under Section 13.5.2 with respect to a sale of a particular Licensed Product that is subject to Section 13.5.3,

13.5.6 Royalty Term.

(a) The royalty obligations set forth in Sections 13.5.1 and 13.5.2 above will commence on a country-by-country basis upon the First Commercial Sale of any Licensed Product, and expire on a country-by-country basis upon the expiration of the last to expire Patent containing a Valid Claim or Valid Platform Claim, as the case may be, which Covers the sale of such Licensed Product in such country. For clarity, if the last Valid Claim or Valid Platform Claim, as the case may be, Covering the sale of a Licensed Product in a particular country expires prior to the [***] anniversary of the date of First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country, royalties shall continue to be payable on the sales of such Licensed Product in such country pursuant to Section 13.5.3 at the rates set forth therein until the [***] anniversary of the date of First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country.

(b) The royalty obligations set forth in Section 13.5.3 will commence on a country-by-country basis upon the First Commercial Sale of any Licensed Product, and expire on a country-by-country basis upon the earlier of (i) the [***] anniversary of the date of First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country; or (ii) such time as such Licensed Product is Covered by a Valid Claim or Valid Platform Claim, as the case may be, in such country, in which case such Licensed Product shall be subject to the royalty term set forth in Section 13.5.6(a) above. For clarity, in the case of a Licensed Product for which a Valid Claim or Valid Platform Claim, as the case may be, first comes into existence in a particular country after the date of First Commercial Sale in such country, on the date of issuance of such Valid Claim or Valid Platform Claim, as the case may be, royalties shall be payable on the sales of such Licensed Product pursuant to Section 13.5.1 or 13.5.2 at the rates set forth therein, as applicable, and expire upon the expiration of such Valid Claim or Valid Platform Claim, as the case may be, in such country. For the purposes of calculating the ten

[***]

14.4 Currency of Payments. All payments under this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Net Sales outside of the United States shall be first determined in the currency in which they are earned and shall then be converted into an amount in United States dollars as follows: (i) with respect to sales by or on behalf of GNE, use GNE’s customary and usual conversion procedures, consistently applied in preparing its audited financial statements; and (ii) with respect to sales by or on behalf of a given Sublicensee, using the conversion procedures applicable to payments by such Sublicensee to GNE for such sales and where such procedures have been agreed prior to the Effective Date or as modified by GNE and its Affiliates [***] after the Effective Date.

14.5 Blocked Currency. If, at any time, legal restrictions prevent GNE or a Sublicensee from remitting part or all of royalty payments when due with respect to any country in the Territory where Licensed Products are sold, GNE shall continue to provide Net Sales Reports for such royalty payments, and such royalty payments shall continue to accrue in such country, but GNE shall not be

14.6 Taxes. Each Party shall comply with Applicable Laws and regulations regarding filing and reporting for income tax purposes. Neither Party shall treat their relationship under this Agreement as a pass through entity for tax purposes. All payments made under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of any and all taxes, duties, levies, fees or other, except for withholding taxes and VAT (if applicable). GNE and its Sublicensees shall be entitled to deduct from payments made to Immunocore under this Agreement the amount of any withholding taxes required to be withheld, to the extent paid to the appropriate governmental authority on behalf of Immunocore (and not refunded or reimbursed). GNE shall deliver to Immunocore, upon request, proof of payment of all such withholding taxes. Immunocore (on the one hand) and GNE (on the other hand) shall provide reasonable assistance to other Party in seeking any benefits available to either Party with respect to government tax withholdings by any relevant law, regulation or double tax treaty. All payments made under this Agreement shall be exclusive of VAT (if applicable) and such VAT shall be paid promptly on receipt of a valid VAT invoice.

14.7 Records; Inspection.

14.7.1 Records. GNE agrees to keep, for [***] from the year of creation, records of all sales of Licensed Products for each reporting period in which royalty payments are due, showing sales of Licensed Products for each of GNE and its Affiliates and Sublicensees and applicable deductions in sufficient detail to enable the report provided under Section 14.2 to be verified. GNE shall procure that its Sublicensees keep records in accordance with this Section.

14.7.2 Audits. Immunocore shall have the right to request that such report be verified by an independent, certified and internationally recognized public accounting firm selected by Immunocore and acceptable to GNE (the “CPA Firm”). Such right to request a verified report shall (i) be limited to a [***] period immediately preceding such request for a verified report; (ii) not be exercised more than once in any calendar year; and (iii) not more frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period of time. Subject to Section 14.7.3, GNE shall, upon timely request and at least [***] advance notice from Immunocore and at a mutually agreeable time during its regular business hours, make its records available for inspection by such CPA Firm at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, solely to verify the accuracy of the reports provided under Section 14.2 and related payments due under this Agreement. The CPA Firm shall only state factual findings in the audit reports. The draft audit report shall be shared with GNE at the same time that it is shared with Immunocore. Following review and approval by all Parties of the draft audit, the final audit report shall be shared with GNE and Immunocore. GNE shall procure access to Sublicensee records relevant to verify the accuracy of reports under Section 14.2. relating to such Sublicensee and in accordance with this Section 14.7.2 and shall make such Sublicensee records available to the CPA Firm at the same time and location as GNE’s own records are made available to the CPA Firm.

14.7.3 Confidentiality. Prior to any audit under Section 14.7.2, the CPA Firm shall enter into a written confidentiality agreement with GNE that (i) limits the CPA Firm’s use of GNE and its Affiliate’s and Sublicensee’s records to the verification purpose described in Section 14.7.2; (ii) limits the information that the CPA Firm may disclose to Immunocore to the numerical summary of payments due and paid; and (iii) prohibits the disclosure of any information contained in such records

The Parties agree that all information subject to review under Section 14.7.2 and/or provided by the CPA Firm to Immunocore is GNE’s Confidential Information, and Immunocore shall not use any such information for any purpose that is not germane to Section 14.7.2.

14.7.4 Underpayment; Overpayment. After reviewing the CPA Firm’s audit report, GNE shall promptly pay any uncontested, understated amounts due to Immunocore. Any overpayment made by GNE or any Affiliate or Sublicensee shall be promptly refunded or fully creditable against amounts payable in subsequent payment periods, at GNE’s election. Any audit under Section 14.7.2 shall be at Immunocore’s expense; provided, however, GNE shall reimburse reasonable audit fees for a given audit if the results of such audit reveal that GNE and any Affiliate or Sublicensee underpaid Immunocore [***] for the audited period [***].

ARTICLE 15
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; OWNERSHIP

15.1 Definitions. As used herein this Article 15:

15.1.1 “Prosecution and Maintenance” or “Prosecute and Maintain”, with respect to a particular Patent, means all activities associated with the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patent (and patent application(s) derived from such Patent), as well as re-examinations, reissues, applications for patent term adjustments and extensions, supplementary protection certificates and the like with respect to that Patent, together with the conduct of interferences, derivation proceedings, pre- and post-grant proceedings, inter parte reviews, the defense of oppositions and other similar proceedings with respect to that Patent.

15.2 Disclosure; Ownership; Inventorship; Assignment and Cooperation.

15.2.1 Disclosure. During the Term, each Party shall promptly disclose to the other any Foreground IP conceived, or reduced to practice by or for the disclosing Party. Disclosure will be made via designated patent practitioners representing each Party. Such disclosure obligation continues beyond the Term to the extent necessary to obtain patent protection for all inventions within the Foreground IP, and to establish inventorship thereof.

15.2.2 Ownership. As between the Parties:

(a) Immunocore shall solely own the Immunocore Platform IP, Immunocore Foreground IP and Licensed Product IP;

(b) GNE shall solely own the GNE Background IP and GNE Foreground IP; and

(c) the Parties shall own jointly all Joint Foreground IP.

Without limiting the foregoing, each Party retains an undivided one-half interest in and to the Joint Foreground IP (including Patents and Know-How therein). Subject to the licenses granted in Article 9, each Party may exploit fully the Joint Foreground IP, in any field, and may grant licenses and sublicenses of the Joint Foreground IP without the consent of and without accounting to the other Party, subject to Section 9.1.4. Further, each Party may transfer or encumber its ownership interest,

without the consent of and without accounting to the other Party, subject to the license grants and covenants hereunder and only in accordance with any restrictions hereunder.

15.2.3 Assignment; Cooperation. The assignments necessary to accomplish the ownership provisions set forth in this Article 15 are hereby made, and each Party shall execute such further documentation as may be necessary or appropriate, and provide reasonable assistance and cooperation, to implement the provisions of this Article 15. Each Party shall to the extent legally possible under relevant national or local laws require all of its employees, Affiliates and any Third Parties working pursuant to this Agreement on its behalf, to assign (or otherwise convey rights) to such Party any Patents and Know-How discovered, conceived or reduced to practice by such employee, Affiliate or Third Party, and to cooperate with such Party in connection with obtaining patent protection therefore.

15.2.4 CREATE Act. It is the intention of the Parties that this Agreement is a “joint research agreement” as that phrase is defined in Public Law 108-53 (the “Create Act”). In the event that either Party to this Agreement intends to overcome a rejection of a claimed invention within the Licensed Product IP, Immunocore Platform IF, Foreground IP and/or GNE Background IP pursuant to the provisions of the Create Act, such Party shall first obtain the prior written consent of the other Party and the Parties shall work together in good faith to agree how any rejection should be overcome. To the extent that the Parties agree that, in order to overcome a rejection of a claimed invention within Licensed Product IP, Immunocore Platform IP, Foreground IP and/or GNE Background IP pursuant to the provisions of the Create Act, the filing of a terminal disclaimer is required or advisable, the Parties shall first agree on terms and conditions under which the patent application subject to such terminal disclaimer and the patent or application over which such application is disclaimed shall be jointly enforced, to the extent that the Parties have not previously agreed to such terms and conditions. To the extent that this Section 15.2.4 applies to Immunocore Platform IP, any obligation under this Section will be subject to any Third Party agreements entered into with Immunocore prior to or after the Effective Date relating to the prosecution or maintenance of such Immunocore Platform IP and any co-operation or consultation by Immunocore under this Section 15.2.4 shall be subject to such Third Party agreements. In the event that GNE, or its Sublicensee intends to enter into an agreement with a Third Party with respect to the further research, development or commercialization of a Licensed Product and such agreement is a “joint research agreement” as that phrase is defined in the Create Act, the Parties shall in good faith discuss whether Immunocore shall similarly enter into such agreement with such Third Party purely for the purposes of agreeing similar consultation rights in relation to any rejection under the Create Act as contained under this Section 15.2.4.

15.2.5 Inventorship; Exclusive Dispute Resolution Process. The determination of inventive contribution by or on behalf of a Party with respect to Foreground IP for purposes of determining ownership as set forth in Section 15.2.2. shall be made in accordance with the laws of inventorship under the US patent law. In the event of a Dispute between the Parties over inventorship of Foreground IP, the Parties shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 15, refer such Dispute to a mutually acceptable independent outside patent counsel to determine inventorship and shall use all reasonable efforts to do so in an efficient and expedient manner. The Parties agree that the decision rendered by such independent outside patent counsel shall be the sole, exclusive and binding resolution and remedy between them regarding such Dispute, and the Parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the independent outside patent counsel in resolving such Dispute.

The obligations under this Section will be subject to any Third Party agreement entered into by Immunocore whether before or after the Effective Date.

15.3.3 GNE Controlled Prosecution and Maintenance.

(a) GNE shall, at its sole discretion and expense, have the right (but not the obligation) to Prosecute and Maintain Patents within the GNE Background IP.

GNE will provide any filings or correspondence for comment by Immunocore where possible at least [***] prior to any due date or required response date. GNE will consider all comments provided by Immunocore to GNE prior to any due date or required response date [***]. Immunocore will provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance to GNE at GNE’s reasonable request in Prosecution and Maintenance of such Patents, including making data, reports, and scientific personnel reasonably available to prepare and prosecute patent applications. In the event that Immunocore issues a Co-Funding Withdrawal Notice, Patents falling within GNE Foreground IP shall be prosecuted in accordance with Section 15.3.3(a) instead of this Section 15.3.3(b).

15.3.4 Transfer of Prosecution and Maintenance.

(a) If GNE elects not to Prosecute and Maintain any Patents under Section 15.3.3(b), GNE shall provide at least [***] written notice to Immunocore. Thereafter, Immunocore shall have the right, but not the obligation, to Prosecute and Maintain any notified Patents, at its sole expense and in its sole discretion. GNE will provide all cooperation and assistance to Immunocore in relation to such Prosecution and Maintenance.

(b) If Immunocore elects not to Prosecute and Maintain any Patents under Section 15.3.1, Immunocore shall provide at least [***] written notice to GNE.

Immunocore will provide all cooperation and assistance to GNE in relation to such Prosecution and Maintenance.

15.3.5 The Parties agree to Prosecute and Maintain Immunocore Controlled Patents and GNE Controlled Patents on a coordinated basis with the goal of maximizing the enforceable patent coverage for the Licensed Products and the ImmTAC platform, including resolving any double patenting issues. The Parties acknowledge that coordinated filings of two or more separate Patent applications Covering Licensed Products or improvements to ImmTAC platform may be filed hereunder so long as (i) both Parties agree to the coordinated filings and (ii) the patent coverage for the Licensed Product(s) is not adversely affected.

15.3.6 The Costs incurred by the Parties in carrying out the Prosecution and Maintenance activities set out in Section 15.3.1 and 15.3.3(b) shall be shared equally by the Parties. The Parties shall each bear their own costs in relation to the activities in Section 15.3.2 and 15.3.3(a). In the event that Immunocore issues a Co-Funding Withdrawal Notice, any costs shared in accordance with this Section 15.3.6 shall instead be borne solely by the prosecuting party.

15.3.7 Interferences Between the Parties. If an interference or derivation proceeding is declared by the US Patent and Trademark Office between one or more of the Patents within the Licensed Product IP, Immunocore Platform IP, Foreground IP or GNE Background IP, to the extent directed to a Licensed Product and such declared interference or derivation proceeding does not involve any Patents owned by a Third Party, then the Parties shall in good faith establish a mutually agreeable process to resolve such interference or derivation proceeding in a reasonable manner in conformance with all applicable legal standards, but which prejudices neither Party nor diminishes the value of such Patents at issue.

15.5 Enforcement Rights for Infringement by Third Parties.

15.5.1 Notice. Each Party shall promptly notify, in writing, the other Party upon learning of any actual or suspected infringement of the Patents within the Licensed Product IP, GNE Background IP, Immunocore Platform IP or Foreground IP to the extent such actual or suspected infringement is relevant to any MAGE-A4 Compound, Enhanced MAGE-A4 Compound, Other MAGE-A4 Compound or any Licensed Product, or any claim of invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of any Patents within the Licensed Product IP, GNE Background IP, Immunocore Platform IP or Foreground IP (each an “Infringement”). At the request of the Party receiving such notice, the other Party shall use Diligent Efforts to provide all evidence in its possession pertaining to the actual or suspected Infringement that it can disclose without breach of a pre-existing obligation to a Third Party or waiver of privilege.

15.5.2 Enforcement Actions. The Parties shall consult as to potential strategies to terminate suspected or potential Infringement, consistent with the overall goals of this Agreement. If the Parties fail to agree on such strategies:

(a) GNE shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to seek to abate any actual or suspected Infringement by a Third Party, or to file suit against any Third Party for Infringement, in each case of any Patent under Section 15.3.1 and 15.3.3. If GNE does not, within [***] of receipt of a notice under Section 15.5.1, take steps to abate the Infringement, or to file suit to enforce against such Infringement, then GNE shall provide written notice to Immunocore thereof, and GNE and Immunocore shall discuss the strategy thereof.

(b) Immunocore shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to seek to abate any actual or suspected Infringement by a Third Party, or to file suit against any Third Party for Infringement, in each case of any Patent under Section 15.3.2. If Immunocore does not, within [***] of receipt of a notice under Section 15.5.1, take steps to abate the Infringement, or to file suit to enforce against such Infringement, then GNE shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take action to enforce against such Infringement; provided that if Immunocore is diligently pursuing ongoing settlement discussions at the end of such [***] period then GNE shall not be permitted to exercise such right unless such settlement discussions cease without reaching settlement or Immunocore ceases to pursue such discussions diligently. To the extent this Section relates to Immunocore Platform IP, the obligations under this Section will be subject to any Third Party agreement entered into by Immunocore whether before or after the Effective Date.

(c) The non-controlling Party shall cooperate with the Party controlling any such action to abate or enforce (as may be reasonably requested by the controlling Party and at the controlling Party’s expense), including, if necessary, by being joined as a party provided that the non-controlling Party shall be indemnified by the controlling Party as to any costs or expenses, and

shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel at its own expense. The Party controlling any such action shall keep the other Party updated with respect to any such action, including providing copies of all documents received or filed in connection with any such action.

15.5.3 Settlement. The Party controlling any such enforcement action described in Section 15.5.2 (a “Section 15.5.2 Enforcement”), at its sole discretion, may take reasonable actions to terminate any alleged Infringement without litigation; provided, that if any such arrangement would adversely affect the non-controlling Party’s rights under this Agreement, then that arrangement is subject to the non-controlling Party’s prior written consent. The Party controlling any Section 15.5.2 Enforcement may not settle or consent to an adverse judgment without the express written consent of the non-controlling Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

15.5.4 Costs and expenses. The Party controlling any Section 15.5.2 Enforcement shall bear all costs and expenses, including but not limited to litigation expenses, related to such enforcement actions.

15.5.5 Damages. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, and subject to the respective indemnity obligations of the Parties set forth in Article 19, all damages, amounts received in settlement, judgment or other monetary awards recovered in Section 15.5.2 Enforcement with respect to activities of the Third Party that occurred prior to the effective date of such award shall be applied as follows:

15.7 Third Party Infringement Claims.

15.7.1 Notice. In the event that a Third Party shall make any claim, give notice, or bring any suit or other inter partes proceeding against GNE or Immunocore, or any of their respective Affiliates or licensees or customers, for infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property rights with respect to the research, development, making, using, selling, offering for sale, import or export of any Licensed Product or Companion Diagnostic (“Third Party Infringement Claim”), in each case, the Party receiving notice of a Third Party Infringement Claim shall promptly notify the other Party and use Diligent Efforts to provide all evidence in its possession pertaining to the claim or suit that it can disclose without breach of a pre-existing obligation to a Third Party or waiver of privilege.

15.7.2 Defense. The Parties shall consult as to potential strategies to defend against any Third Party Infringement Claim, consistent with the overall goals of this Agreement, including by being joined as a party. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in the defense of any Third Party Infringement Claim or raising of any counterclaim related thereto. If the Parties fail to agree on such strategies, and subject to the respective indemnity obligations of the Parties set forth in Article 19, GNE shall be solely responsible for defending such Third Party Infringement Claim including but not limited to selection of counsel, venue, and directing all aspects, stages, motions, and proceedings of litigation. If GNE does not, within [***] of receipt of a notice under Section 15.7.1, take steps to defend the Third Party Infringement Claim, then Immunocore shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take action to enforce or defend against such Third Party Infringement Claim provided that if GNE is diligently pursuing ongoing settlement discussions at the end of such [***] period then Immunocore shall not be permitted to exercise such right unless such settlement discussions cease without reaching settlement or GNE ceases to pursue such discussions diligently, At the controlling Party’s request and expense, the non-controlling Party shall cooperate with the controlling Party in connection with any such defense and counterclaim, provided that the non-controlling Party shall be indemnified by the controlling Party as to any costs or expenses, and shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel at its own expense.

15.7.3 Settlement. If any such defense under Section 15.7.2 would adversely affect the other Party’s rights under this Agreement or impose a financial obligation upon the other Party or grant rights in respect, or affect the validity or enforceability, of the other Party’s Patents or any Joint Foreground IP, then any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of such Third Party Infringement Claim shall not be entered into without the consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). For the avoidance of doubt, if any settlement results in the granting to the alleged infringer of a sublicense to any of the Licensed Product IP or Foreground IP, with running royalties payable on post-settlement sales by the alleged infringer, such alleged infringer shall be deemed to be a Sublicensee and such royalties on post-settlement sales shall be shared equally by the Parties in fifty percent (50%) shares; save that if a Co-Funding Withdrawal Notice has been issued, such royalties shall be subject to the royalty obligations under Article 13.

The experts shall have no discretion or authority with respect to modifying the positions of the Parties. The experts’ decision shall be final and binding on the Parties and the written agreement selected by the experts shall constitute a binding agreement between the Parties that may be enforced in accordance with its terms. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with such arbitration, and shall share equally the experts’ fees and expenses;

(h) the violation of the time limits prescribed in this Section 20.7.5 by the expert shall not affect the experts’ competence to decide on the subject matter, and shall not affect the final and binding decision rendered by the experts, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties; and
