Notwithstanding the exclusive license granted to Hansoh under Section 2.1(a), Scynexis hereby expressly retains the right to use the Licensed IP in the Field in the Territory in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement.  Each Party retains all rights under Know-How, Patents or other intellectual property Controlled by such Party not expressly granted to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement.  For clarity, Scynexis retains the exclusive right to practice, license and otherwise exploit the Licensed IP outside the scope of the license granted to Hansoh under Section 2.1, including the exclusive right to develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import the Compound and Product outside the Field in the Territory or for any use outside of the Territory.  Scynexis also retains the right to make and have made the Compound and Product in the Territory solely for any use outside the Field and/or solely for Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization of the Compound and Product outside of the Territory.

2.4Upstream Licenses.  

(a)Hansoh acknowledges and agrees that:

(i)Scynexis obtained the right to certain Licensed IP from Third Parties under the agreements set forth on Exhibit C and previously disclosed to Hansoh for review (each, an “Upstream Agreement”);

(ii)the licenses granted to Hansoh in Section 2.1 under such Licensed IP constitutes sublicenses under the Upstream Agreement;

(iii)each such sublicense is subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Upstream Agreement; and

(iv)certain Licensed IP is non-exclusively licensed to Scynexis under the Upstream Agreement, and therefore the exclusive license granted by Scynexis to Hansoh under such Licensed IP is exclusive only with respect to Scynexis, and is not exclusive with respect to the upstream licensor or its other licensees and sublicensees.  

(b)Scynexis shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain the Upstream Agreements in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and conditions and without any further amendment that would materially and adversely affect the sublicense granted by Scynexis to Hansoh under such Upstream Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except with Hansoh’s prior written consent. In the event that Scynexis, or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees (other than Hansoh) is in breach or default of an Upstream Agreement, and the Third Party licensor or counterparty to such Upstream Agreement terminates or is expected to terminate Scynexis’ rights under such Upstream Agreement, then Scynexis shall promptly notify Hansoh in writing of such expectation

13.  

or termination, as applicable, and shall use best efforts to ensure that Hansoh’s rights, as a sublicensee under such Upstream Agreement and within the scope of this Agreement, shall continue. This provision will not restrict or eliminate Hansoh’s remedies under this Agreement or otherwise available for Hansoh under law or equity. Hansoh agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of the Upstream Agreements to the extent applicable and shall not take or fail to take any action that would cause Scynexis to be in material breach of any Upstream Agreement.  

2.5No Implied Licenses; Negative Covenant.  Except as expressly set forth herein, no license or other right or interest under any Know-How, Patent or other intellectual property of either Party is granted (by implication or otherwise) to the other Party under this Agreement.  Hansoh shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or sublicensees to, practice any Licensed IP outside the scope of the license granted by Scynexis to Hansoh under Section 2.1 of this Agreement.  

2.6Territory Restriction.  Hansoh hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees shall not, either directly or indirectly, promote, market, distribute, import, sell or have sold any Product, including via the Internet or mail order, to any Third Party or address or Internet Protocol address or the like outside the Territory, or to any Third Party that Hansoh, or any of its Affiliate or sublicensee knows (or is reasonably expected to know) has previously exported or is likely to export the Product outside the Territory.  Hansoh shall not engage, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees shall not engage, in any advertising or promotional activities relating to any Product directed primarily to customers or other buyers or users located in any country or jurisdiction outside the Territory, or solicit orders from any prospective customer or other buyer or user located in any country or jurisdiction outside the Territory.  If Hansoh or its Affiliates or sublicensees receive any order for the Product from a prospective customer or other buyer or user located in a country or jurisdiction outside the Territory, Hansoh shall immediately refer that order to Scynexis and shall not accept any such orders.  Hansoh shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees shall not, deliver or tender (or cause to be delivered or tendered) any Product outside the Territory.

15.  

(e)Non-Member Attendance.  Each Party may from time to time invite a reasonable number of participants, in addition to its representatives, to attend the JSC meetings in a non‑voting capacity; provided that if either Party intends to have any Third Party (including any consultant) attend such a meeting, such Party shall provide prior written notice to the other Party.  Such Party shall also ensure that such Third Party is bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  

(f)Decision-Making. Each Party will act based on its good faith judgement taking into consideration the best mutual interests of the Parties and to avoid taking any actions pursuant to this Agreement that may materially and adversely affect the development and commercialization of the Products in the other Party’s territory. All decisions of the JSC shall be made by unanimous vote, with each Party having one vote irrespective of the number of representative(s) in attendance.  If after reasonable discussion and good faith consideration of each Party’s view on a particular matter before the JSC, the JSC cannot reach a decision as to such matter within [*] after such matter was brought to the JSC for resolution, such matter shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officer of Scynexis and the Chief Executive Officer of Hansoh or his/her designee (the “Executive Officers”) for resolution.  The Executive Officers shall promptly meet and use good faith efforts to resolve such matter.  If the Executive Officers cannot resolve such matter within [*] after such matter has been referred to them, then Hansoh shall have final decision making authority over matters concerning primarily the Development or Commercialization of the Compound and/or Product in the Field in the Territory, provided, however, that:

(i)Hansoh’s decision must be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including its obligations to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize the Compound and Product in the Field in the Territory;

(ii)any decision that may reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Compound and Product outside the Field and/or outside the Territory must be mutually agreed by the Parties; provided that if Hansoh reasonably believes that such decision is required in order to comply with Applicable Laws in the Territory or otherwise required by the applicable Regulatory Authority, then the Parties will discuss such requirement in good faith with SCYNEXIS not to unreasonably withhold its agreement;

(iii)the protocols (including any amendment thereto) of all Clinical Trials to be conducted by Hansoh, its Affiliates and sublicensees will be discussed in good faith and mutually agreed by both Parties  prior to any patient enrollment. If Hansoh reasonably believes that protocol language or amendment is required in order to comply with Applicable Laws in the Territory or otherwise required by the applicable Regulatory Authority, the Parties shall discuss such requirement in good faith. Scynexis shall provide timely response to Hansoh after Hansoh provides the protocol (or any amendments thereto) to Scynexis for review and comment. In the event Hansoh has acted promptly to provide the protocols or amendments to Scynexis for review sufficient in advance of required deadlines, and there is a significant delay without providing any comments from Scynexis, Hansoh may proceed with the protocol (or such amendment thereto) to avoid missing material deadlines (i.e. for regulatory filings). For protocol review and approval process, Scynexis shall designate specific employees or officers from Scynexis to be responsible

16.  

for this task to avoid the delay on reviewing and approving protocols due to unavailability of JSC members or delay in scheduling JSC meetings.

For clarity, the JSC shall have no decision making authority with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Compound and Product outside the Field and/outside the Territory.  

3.3Discontinuation of JSC.  The activities to be performed by the JSC shall solely relate to governance under this Agreement, and are not intended to be or involve the delivery of services.  The JSC shall continue to exist until the first to occur of: (a) the Parties mutually agreeing to disband the JSC; or (b) Scynexis providing written notice to Hansoh of its intention to disband and no longer participate in the JSC.  Once the Parties mutually agree or Scynexis has provided written notice to disband the JSC, the JSC shall have no further obligations under this Agreement and, thereafter, the Alliance Managers shall be the contact persons for the exchange of information under this Agreement and decisions of the JSC shall be decisions as between the Parties, subject to the same respective decision-making rights and limitations set forth in Section 3.2(f) and other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

18.  

Hansoh has no obligation to provide such records in the English language. To the extent Scynexis believes translation into English is necessary, Scynexis shall be responsible for such translation at its own cost and expense. Scynexis acknowledges that the language of the original records shall govern.

4.8Development Status.  Hansoh shall keep Scynexis reasonably informed as to the progress and results of its and its Affiliates’ and sublicensees’ Development of the Compound and Product.  Without limiting the foregoing, the status, progress and results of the Development of the Compound and Product in the Field in the Territory shall be discussed at regularly scheduled meetings of the JSC (or a joint Development subcommittee established by the JSC).  In order to allow a meaningful discussion at the JSC meetings, at least [*] before each JSC meeting, Hansoh shall provide the JSC with a Development report, which may be in the form of a slide deck or a document prepared by Hansoh for its internal reporting purpose and shall cover subject matter at a level of detail reasonably agreed by the JSC.  In addition, Hansoh shall make available to Scynexis such additional information about its Development activities as may be reasonably requested by Scynexis from time to time.

(b)Promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties shall coordinate and agree to a Manufacturing technology transfer plan pursuant to which Scynexis shall provide Hansoh with reasonable technical assistance to enable Hansoh to Manufacture the Compound and Product (including both API and drug product in the Oral Formulation).  Such technical assistance may include (i) access to Scynexis’ technical personnel involved in the Manufacture of the Compound and Product, (ii) providing Hansoh with a reasonable level of technical assistance and consultation in connection with the transfer to Hansoh of Manufacture-related documents and Know-How, and (iii) responding to questions raised by Hansoh in connection with the Manufacture-related documents and Know-How.  In addition, upon Hansoh’s request and subject to a three way confidentiality agreement with Scynexis’ Third Party contract manufacturer, Scynexis shall also introduce Hansoh to Scynexis’ Third Party contract manufacturer and facilitate the discussion and negotiation between Hansoh and such contract manufacturer regarding technology transfer and/or direct supply relationship. Hansoh shall reimburse Scynexis for both reasonable out-of-pocket cost and internal cost (calculated at the FTE Rate) actually incurred by Scynexis to provide such manufacture technical assistance, except for the internal cost for Initial Support, which shall be provided at Scynexis’ cost. For clarity, such cost shall be estimated by Scynexis and approved by Hansoh in writing prior to reimbursement.

(c)As of the Effective Date, Scynexis is in the early stage Development of an intravenous formulation for the Product.  As the Development of the intravenous formulation advances, Hansoh’s access to Manufacture-related documents and Know-How related to the Manufacture of the Product in intravenous formulation and the timelines and mechanism for the transfer therefor shall be discussed and agreed by the Parties at the JSC. Scynexis shall transfer such Manufacture-related documents and Know-How related to the Manufacture of the Product in intravenous formulation that is developed and Controlled by Scynexis or its Affiliates without additional payment required (except as set forth in Sections 1.34 and 1.35), except for reasonable out-of-pocket cost and internal cost (calculated at the FTE Rate) actually incurred by Scynexis to provide such manufacture technical assistance.  For clarity, the second payment of Manufacturing technology transfer fee under Section 8.1(b) does not require the transfer of the Manufacture of the Product in intravenous formulation to take place before such payment is due.  

6.3Manufacture by Hansoh.  

(a)Unless the Parties agree otherwise, after the completion of the Manufacturing technology transfer pursuant to Section 6.2 above and obtaining the necessary Regulatory Approval for the change in source of supply, Hansoh shall, either by itself or through its Affiliates, sublicensees or Third Party contractors, Manufacture and supply all of Hansoh’s and its Affiliates’ and sublicensees’ requirements for the Compound and Product for Development and Commercialization use in the Field in the Territory, at Hansoh’s own cost and expense.  

(b)Without limiting Section 9.1, each Party shall keep the other Party informed on any improvement or modification it or its subcontractor (i.e. CROs or CMOs) makes to the Manufacture process for the Compound and Product.  Upon the other Party’ request, the Party that

24.  

made an improvement shall make such improvement or modification available to the other Party and such Party or its subcontractors shall provide the other Party with reasonable technical assistance in order for the other Party to implement such improvement or modification in the Manufacture of the Compound and Product.  

(c)From time to time, the Parties may discuss and coordinate their Manufacture and supply of the Compound and Product and, if mutually agreed by the Parties in a separate supply agreement, one Party may supply all or part of the other Party’s requirement and/or act as a backup supplier for the other Party.

(d)Basis for Royalty.  This Section 8.5 is intended to provide for payments to Scynexis and through Scynexis, to its upstream licensors equal to the percentages of Net Sales set forth in this Section 8.5 for the duration of the applicable Royalty Term.  In establishing this payment structure, the Parties recognize and acknowledge, the substantial value of the various actions and investments undertaken by Scynexis and its upstream licensors prior to the Effective Date and that Scynexis will undertake under this Agreement, and that the value of the Licensed IP licensed to Hansoh hereunder resides substantially in Licensed Know-How.  As a result, the Parties attribute such value to Scynexis’ and its upstream licensors’ leading proprietary knowledge in the subject matter, including trade secrets, preclinical and clinical data pertaining to the Compound and Product, and regulatory filings made by or on behalf Scynexis prior to the Effective Date, in each case created or generated by Scynexis through the expenditure of significant resources and as a result of Scynexis’ unique innovative capabilities.  The Parties have agreed to the payment structure set forth herein as a convenient and fair mechanism for both Parties in order to compensate Scynexis and its upstream licensors during the applicable Royalty Term for these additional benefits as part of the overall consideration for Scynexis to enter into this Agreement.

(e)Royalty Report and Payment.  Within [*] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, commencing with the first Calendar Quarter in which there is any Net Sales of any Product anywhere in the Territory, Hansoh shall provide Scynexis with a preliminary report that contains the following information for the applicable Calendar Quarter: (i) the aggregate amount of gross sales of each Product in each Region during the applicable Calendar Quarter, (ii) an itemized calculation of Net Sales showing separately each type of deduction provided for in the definition of “Net Sales,” (iii) a calculation of the royalty payment due on such sales in Dollars, including the exchange rate used in such calculation in accordance with Section 8.6, and (iv) whether any sales milestone has been achieved.  Upon receipt of the applicable quarterly preliminary royalty report, Scynexis will invoice Hansoh based on such preliminary royalty report and Hansoh shall pay to Scynexis in Dollars the royalties owed with respect to Net Sales for such Calendar Quarter based on such preliminary report within [*] after receipt of such invoice.  Hansoh shall provide semi-annual final royalty report within [*] after the second and fourth Calendar Quarters of each Calendar Year instead of the foregoing preliminary report. Such final royalty report will reconcile (if necessary) the amounts paid by Hansoh to Scynexis pursuant to the invoice in the prior Calendar Quarter with the royalty amounts set forth in the semi-annual final royalty report for the two Calendar Quarters covered by such final report. Upon receipt of the applicable semi-annual final royalty report, Scynexis will invoice Hansoh based on such final report and

30.  

Hansoh shall pay to Scynexis in Dollars the royalties owned with respect to Net Sales based on the semi-annual final royalty report within [*] after receipt of such invoice.

8.6Currency; Exchange Rate.  All payments to be made by Hansoh to Scynexis under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account designated by written notice from Scynexis.  The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in Dollars shall be made at the average of the closing exchange rates reported in The Wall Street Journal (U.S., Eastern Edition) for the first, middle and last business days of the applicable reporting period for the payment due.  

8.7Late Payments.  If Scynexis does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date as set forth in this Agreement, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to Scynexis from the due date until the date of payment at a per-annum rate of prime (as reported in The Wall Street Journal (U.S., Eastern Edition)) plus two percentage points or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Laws, whichever is less.  

8.8Financial Records and Audits.  Hansoh shall (and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees will) maintain complete and accurate records in accordance with GAAP, IFRS or equivalent internal standard policies and procedures of the applicable Selling Party and in sufficient detail to permit Scynexis to confirm the accuracy of Net Sales reported by Hansoh and amounts payable under this Agreement.  Upon no less than [*] prior written notice, such records shall be available for examination, during regular business hours of Hansoh or its Affiliate or sublicensee, for a period of [*] from the creation of individual records, and not more often than once each Calendar Year, by an independent certified public accountant mutually agreed by Scynexis and Hansoh (any independent certified public accountant from Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Ernst & Young (EY) or Klynveild Peat Marwick Goerdier (KPMG) shall be considered acceptable), for the sole purpose of verifying for Scynexis the accuracy of the Net Sales and royalty reports provided by Hansoh under this Agreement.  Such independent certified public accountant may only share in a report its final determination of whether there has been an underpayment or overpayment and the amount of such underpayment or overpayment based on such audit with the Parties.  In no event may such independent certified public accountant shall share any copies of or a portion of the underlying records with Scynexis, its Affiliates or any of its upstream licensors.  Scynexis shall bear the cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an underpayment by Hansoh of more than [*] of the amount actually due for the period of time being audited, in which case Hansoh shall reimburse Scynexis for the costs of such audit.  Hansoh shall pay to Scynexis any underpayment discovered by such audit within [*] after the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 8.7) from the original due date. Scynexis shall reimburse to Hansoh any overpayment discovered by such audit within [*] after the accountant’s report.

(b)The Parties shall cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of the payments made hereunder.  To the extent Hansoh is required by Applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any tax on any payment to Scynexis, (i) the sum payable by Hansoh to Scynexis for the upfront payment set forth in Section 8.1(a) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that Scynexis receives a sum equal to the sum that Scynexis would have received had there been no such deduction or withholding, (ii) the sum payable by Hansoh to Scynexis for the technology transfer fee, and all milestone payments shall be made to Scynexis after deduction [*] of the amount required to be so deducted or withheld (which withheld amount shall be treated as paid to Scynexis), and Hansoh shall be required to increase the amount associated with the remaining [*] of the amount required to be withheld to the extent necessary to ensure that Scynexis receives a sum equal to the sum that Scynexis would have received had there been no such deduction or withholding of such remaining [*] and (iii) the sum payable by Hansoh to Scynexis for all royalty payments shall be made to Scynexis after deduction [*] of the amount required to be so deducted or withheld (which withheld amount shall be treated as paid to Scynexis), and Hansoh shall be required to increase the amount associated with the remaining [*] of the amount required to be withheld to the extent necessary to ensure that Scynexis receives a sum equal to the sum that Scynexis would have received had there been no such deduction or withholding of such remaining [*]. For purposes of clarity and avoidance of doubt, any such withholding taxes required under Applicable Laws to be paid or withheld in connection with payments of technology transfer fee and milestones shall be an expense of, and borne [*] by Hansoh and  [*] by Scynexis. For purposes of clarity and avoidance of doubt, any such withholding taxes required under Applicable Laws to be paid or withheld in connection with royalty payments shall be an expense of, and borne [*] by Hansoh and  [*] by Scynexis. Upon Hansoh’s request, Scynexis shall use reasonable efforts to provide Hansoh any tax form that may be reasonably necessary in order for Hansoh to not withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty.  Both Parties shall also provide the other Party reasonable assistance and cooperation to enable the recovery, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes or similar obligations resulting from the payments made under this Agreement. All amounts deducted or withheld shall be remitted to appropriate Government Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws.

(vi)Ongoing Clinical Trials.  If at the time of such termination, any Clinical Trials for the Product are being conducted by or on behalf of Hansoh, its Affiliates or sublicensees, then, at Scynexis’ election on a trial-by-trial basis:  (i) Hansoh shall (and shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to) fully cooperate with Scynexis to transfer the conduct of all such Clinical Trials to Scynexis, and Scynexis shall assume any and all liability and costs for such Clinical Trials after the effective date of such termination; or (ii) Hansoh shall (and shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to) at its own cost and expense, orderly wind down in compliance with Applicable Laws the conduct of any such Clinical Trial which is not assumed by Scynexis under clause (i).  

(vii)Return of Confidential Information.  Each Party shall (and shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to) promptly return or destroy (at the other Party’ election) all tangible materials comprising, bearing or containing any Confidential Information of the other Party that are in the other Party’s or its Affiliates’ or sublicensees’ possession or control; provided that, each Party may retain one (1) copy of such Confidentiality Information in order to comply with Regulatory Authorities, Applicable Law or otherwise enforce and confirm its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and Scynexis may also retain and use Hansoh’s Confidential Information in order to exercise its license under Section 9.1(b) and the last sentence of 13.3(a)(i); provided further, that such copy shall remain subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Article 10.  

(viii)Publicity.  Neither Party shall, except to the extent required by Applicable Laws, will make any statement to any Third Party, whether written, verbal, electronic other otherwise, that discloses any Confidential Information related to the termination of this Agreement without the prior approval of the other Party.

(ix)Bankruptcy of Scynexis.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and expressly agree that in the event Scynexis becomes a debtor under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), or such equivalent law in the United States or any other country, and rejects (either as a debtor or on its behalf by a bankruptcy trustee) this Agreement pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any such other equivalent law (a “Bankruptcy Rejection”), (i) any and all rights of Hansoh arising under or otherwise set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code as licenses of right to “intellectual property” pursuant to and in accordance with Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether such intellectual property is domestic or foreign, and shall include without limitation all trademarks licensed to Hansoh under this Agreement, and all such intellectual property shall be fully retained by and vested in Hansoh as protected (or deemed to be protected) intellectual property rights under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether Scynexis files for bankruptcy in the United States or other jurisdiction; (ii) Hansoh shall have all of the rights and elections afforded

47.  

to non-debtor licensees under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, and in the event Hansoh elects to retain its rights to all intellectual property licensed to it under this Agreement in accordance with Section 365(n), Hansoh shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of or complete access to any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property.  Such intellectual property and all embodiments thereof shall be promptly delivered to Hansoh (i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Scynexis upon written request therefor by Hansoh, unless Scynexis (or the equivalent of a bankruptcy trustee appointed in the bankruptcy proceeding) elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, upon the Bankruptcy Rejection of this Agreement upon written request therefor by Hansoh.  Hansoh shall under no circumstances be required to terminate this Agreement after a Bankruptcy Rejection in order to enjoy or acquire any of its rights under this Agreement.   

(b)Royalty on Reversion License.  If this Agreement is terminated by Hansoh under Section 13.2(b), 13.2(c) or 13.2(e), then the license granted by Hansoh to Scynexis under the last sentence of Section 13.3(a)(i) shall be royalty bearing in the Territory at the appliable royalty rate set forth in the table below based on the timing of the termination:

If such license is royalty bearing, then the definition of Net Sales and Section 8.5 shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to the royalty payment from Scynexis to Hansoh on the sale of the Product in the Territory after termination.

(c)In Lieu of Termination. If Hansoh is entitled to terminate this Agreement under 13.2(b) (Termination for Material Breach), Hansoh may, at its sole discretion, upon written notice to Scynexis, elect not to do so and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all applicable royalties, milestones and other amounts due to Scynexis under this Agreement after the date of such notice shall be reduced by [*], provided, however, that Hansoh’s payments to Scynexis will in no event be less than the amounts Scynexis is obligated to pay to Merck under the Upstream Agreement.  

13.4Survival.  Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination.  Without limiting the foregoing, the following provisions shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason: Article 1 (to the extent such definitions are used), Article 8 (to the extent the obligation to make payment accrued prior to the effective date of termination of this Agreement), Section 9.1(b), Sections 9.1(c) and 9.2 (with respect to jointly owned Arising Product IP only), Article 10 (for the period of time set forth in Section 10.1), Article 12 (excluding Section 12.6), Article 13 through 15 (inclusive but excluding 15.6).  

48.  

13.5Termination Not Sole Remedy.  Termination is not the sole remedy under this Agreement and, whether or not termination is effected and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, all other remedies shall remain available except as agreed to otherwise herein.  

Article 14
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

14.1Disputes.  The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term which relate to either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder.  It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation.  To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article 14 to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with any provision of this Agreement, if and when a dispute arises under this Agreement.  

14.2Internal Resolution.  With respect to all disputes arising between the Parties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any alleged breach under this Agreement or any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, if the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within [*] after such dispute is first identified by either Party in writing to the other, the Parties shall refer such dispute to the Executive Officers of the Parties for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within [*] after such notice is received.  

14.3Binding Arbitration.  

(a)If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute through escalation to the Executive Officers under Section 14.2, and a Party desires to pursue resolution of the dispute, the dispute shall be submitted by either Party for resolution in arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) pursuant to its arbitration rules and procedures then in effect.  

(b)The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators experienced in the pharmaceutical business: within [*] after initiation of arbitration, each Party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two Party-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator (who shall be the chairperson of the arbitration panel) within [*] of their appointment.  If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by ICC.  If, however, the aggregate award sought by the Parties is less than [*] and equitable relief is not sought, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator agreed by the Parties (or appointed by ICC if the Parties cannot agree).  

(c)The seat and location of the arbitration shall be London, United Kingdom (provided however that the Parties may agree to conduct the arbitration proceeding (or any part thereof) by teleconference if travel is restricted) and the language of the proceedings shall be English.  The arbitral tribunal shall determine the dispute by applying the provisions of this Agreement and the governing law set forth in Section 15.5.  The Parties agree that any award or decision made by the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon them and may be enforced in the same manner as a judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction.  

49.  

(d)By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue, at the request of a Party, a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, preserve the subject matter of the dispute, or aid the arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award.  Without prejudice to such provisional or interim remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a competent court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional or interim remedies and to award damages for the failure of any Party to the dispute to respect the arbitral tribunal’s order to that effect.  

(e)Each Party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the administrator and the arbitrator; provided, however, the arbitrator shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for any or all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the administrator and the arbitrator.  

(f)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14.3, in the event of a dispute with respect to the validity, scope, enforceability or ownership of any Patent or other intellectual property rights, and such dispute is not resolved in accordance with Section 14.2, such dispute shall not be submitted to an arbitration proceeding in accordance with this Section 14.3, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, and instead either Party may initiate litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction in any country in which such rights apply.  

Article 15
MISCELLANEOUS

15.1Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be held liable to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, including embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, pandemic, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, fire, floods, or other acts of God or any other deity, or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental Authority.  The affected Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practical, and shall promptly undertake reasonable efforts necessary to mitigate such force majeure circumstances.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that a Party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement after the Effective Date may be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing at the time of execution of this Agreement.  

15.2Assignment.

(a)Except as express permitted herein, this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.  Any attempted assignment not in accordance with this Section 15.2 shall be null and void and of no legal effect.  Any permitted assignee shall assume all assigned obligations of its assignor under this Agreement.  The terms

50.  

and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respected successors and permitted assigns.  

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may, without consent of the other Party, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate of such Party (so long as such entity remains an Affiliate), or in whole to its successor-in-interest in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of its stock or its assets to which this Agreement relates, or in connection with a merger, acquisition or similar transaction.  

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Scynexis may, without consent of Hansoh (but with prior written notice to Hansoh), sell or otherwise assign to any Third Party Scynexis’ right to receive any payment (or portion thereof) from Hansoh under this Agreement, and/or grant a security interest in its rights, title and interest in and to this Agreement.    

(d)Any permitted successor or assignee of rights or obligations hereunder will, in a writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights or obligations (and in any event, any Party assigning this Agreement to an Affiliate will remain bound by the terms and conditions hereof).  Any permitted assignment will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the successors of the assigning Party.  Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 15.2 will be null, void and of no legal effect.

15.3Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless the absence of the invalidated provision(s) adversely affects the substantive rights of the Parties.  The Parties shall in such an instance use their best efforts to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and enforceable provision(s) which, insofar as practical, implement the purposes of this Agreement.  

15.4Notices.  All notices which are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally, sent by facsimile or email (and promptly confirmed by personal delivery, registered or certified mail or overnight courier), sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

15.6Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Compliance.  

(a)Compliance with FCPA.  The U.S. government imposes and enforces prohibitions on the payment or transfer of anything of value to governments, government officials, political parties or political party officials (or relatives or associates of such officials) (“FCPA Covered Person”) for the purpose of illegally influencing them, whether directly or indirectly, to obtain or retain business.  This U.S. law is referred to as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and it can have application to conduct of a U.S. corporation’s foreign subsidiaries, employees, agents and distributors.  A summary of the law and related information can be found at http://www.justice.gov/criminal/fraud/fcpa.  By signing this Agreement, each Party represents, warrants and covenants (as applicable) to the other Party that:

(iv)it is not an FCPA Covered Person or affiliated with any FCPA Covered Person; and

(v)it shall immediately notify the other Party of any attempt by any FCPA Covered Person to directly or indirectly solicit, ask for, or attempt to extort anything of

53.  

value from it, its Affiliates or sublicensees, and shall refuse any such solicitation, request or extortionate demand except a facilitating payment as expressly permitted under the FCPA.  

(b)No Action.  In no event shall any Party be obligated under the Agreement to take any action or omit to take any action that such Party believes, in good faith, would cause it to be in violation of any applicable laws and regulations, including the anti-bribery laws referenced in this Section 15.6.

15.7Entire Agreement; Amendments.  The Agreement, together with the Exhibits attached hereto, contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  All express or implied agreements and understandings, either oral or written, with regard to the subject matter hereof (including the licenses granted hereunder) are superseded by the terms of this Agreement.  Neither Party is relying on any representation, promise, nor warranty not expressly set forth in this Agreement.  This Agreement may be amended, or any term hereof modified, only by a written instrument duly executed by authorized representatives of both Parties hereto.

15.10Waiver.  The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder, or the failure of the other Party to perform, or a breach by the other Party, shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

15.13Business Day Requirements.  In the event that any notice or other action or omission is required to be taken by a Party under this Agreement on a day that is not a Business Day then such notice or other action or omission shall be deemed to be required to be taken on the next occurring Business Day.  

15.14English Language.  This Agreement is in the English language only, which language shall be controlling in all respects, and all versions hereof in any other language shall be
