Consequences of Termination

12.7 In the event of termination by Entasis pursuant to Clause 12.2 (following a final determination by an arbitrator of material breach) or 12.6:

12.7.1 the licenses granted by Entasis to DNDi under Clauses 7.3, 7.5, 7.9 and 7.10, as applicable, shall automatically terminate in so far as they relate to the terminated countries and revert to Entasis and any sublicenses granted thereunder shall automatically terminate and revert to Entasis;

12.7.2 if the entire Agreement is terminated, DNDi shall return to Entasis, or at its request destroy, all Confidential Information and materials received from Entasis pursuant to this Agreement (including in the possession of a Sublicensee);

12.7.3 DNDi shall transfer, or have transferred, to Entasis copies of all relevant Marketing Authorisations in so far as they relate to the terminated countries and, if the entire Agreement is terminated, other documents held by DNDi in relation to the Drug Product within thirty (30) days of termination and shall do all things and execute all documents necessary to give effect to such transfers. If such transfer does not comply with legal requirements for the given country, DNDi shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that Entasis has the benefit of the Marketing Authorisations and consent to any Drug Regulatory Authority to the cross–referencing in the relevant countries to the data and information on file with such Drug Regulatory Authority as may be necessary to facilitate the granting of a second Marketing Authorisation for the Drug Product in the relevant countries. In such circumstances DNDi will, in so far as legally permissible cancel the first Marketing Authorisation for the Drug Product in a country, on the granting of the second Marketing Authorisation. DNDi will further, at its sole cost and expense, complete whatever procedures are necessary or desirable and do all such other acts and things necessary or desirable to enable Entasis (either itself or in conjunction with a Third Party) to develop, Manufacture, and Commercialise the Drug Product in the relevant countries.

12.7.4 the licenses granted by DNDi to Entasis pursuant to Clauses 7.3, 7.7, 7.9, and 7.10 shall survive and become perpetual, worldwide, fully paid up, exclusive, and irrevocable; and

12.7.5 DNDi shall provide the necessary training to any Third Party appointed by Entasis to implement the development of the Drug Product, regulatory activities, Manufacture and Commercialisation or to ensure continuity in the supplies of the Drug Product.

12.8 In the event of termination by DNDi pursuant to Clause 12.2 (following a final determination by an arbitrator of material breach):

12.8.2 the licenses granted by DNDi to Entasis under Clauses 7.3, 7.7 and 7.9 and 17.10, as applicable in so far as they relate to the terminated countries, shall continue;

12.8.3 to the extent Entasis has not obtained or is not in the process of obtaining Marketing Authorisations in the Field with the FDA, DNDi may file for the first Marketing Authorisation for the Drug Product in the Field with the FDA; provided, that DNDi gives Entasis sixty (60) days’ notice that DNDi plans to file such Marketing Authorisation application. To the extent DNDi obtains Marketing Authorisation from either the FDA, DNDi shall and hereby does grant Entasis an exclusive, royalty–bearing license and right of reference, with the right to grant sublicenses and further rights of reference through multiple tiers, under such Marketing Authorisation with the FDA to Commercialise the Drug Product in the Field in the Entasis Territory. If DNDi obtains a Marketing Authorisation with the FDA and Entasis elects to Commercialize the Drug Product in the United States, then Entasis will pay DNDi a three percent (3%) royalty on net sales (to be defined by the parties at the time of such termination) of Drug Product in the Field in the United States until such time as DNDi recoups one hundred percent (100%) of its out–of–pocket development and regulatory filing costs incurred by DNDi for the Marketing Authorization with the FDA as of the effective date of termination; and

12.8.4 Clause 7.6 shall cease to apply.

12.9.4 if Entasis is the insolvent Party Clause 7.6 shall cease to apply.

12.10 In the event of termination by the Parties pursuant to Clause 12.4, all rights and licenses granted under this Agreement will terminate and each Party shall return to the other, or at the other’s request destroy, all Confidential Information and materials received from the other Party pursuant to this Agreement (including in the possession of a Sublicensee).

Further, to the extent Entasis has not obtained or is not in the process of obtaining Marketing Authorisations in the Field with the FDA by the end of such ninety (90) day period (or such longer period as the parties may agree), DNDi may file for the first Marketing Authorisation for the Drug Product in the Field with the FDA; provided, that DNDi gives Entasis sixty (60) days’ notice that DNDi plans to file such Marketing Authorisation application.

If DNDi obtains a Marketing Authorisation with the FDA and Entasis elects to Commercialize the  Drug Product in the United States, then Entasis will pay DNDi a three percent (3%) royalty on net sales (to be defined by the parties at the time of such termination) of Drug Product in the Field in the United States until such time as DNDi recoups fifty percent (50%) of its out–of–pocket regulatory filing costs incurred by DNDi for the Marketing Authorization with the FDA as of the effective date of termination.
