Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement by either party pursuant to any of the provisions of Section 10.2: (a) the rights and licenses granted to Licensee under Article 2 shall terminate, all rights in and to and under the Patent Rights and Harvard Technology Transfer Materials and Discovery Materials will revert to Harvard and neither Licensee nor its Subsidiaries may make any further use or exploitation of the Patent Rights; and (b) any existing agreements that contain a Sublicense to practice the Patent Rights shall terminate to the extent of such Sublicense; provided, however, that, for each Sublicensee, upon termination of the Sublicense agreement with such Sublicensee, if the Sublicensee is not then in breach of its Sublicense agreement with Licensee such that Licensee would have the right to terminate such Sublicense, such Sublicensee shall have the right to seek a license from Harvard. Harvard agrees to negotiate such licenses in good faith under reasonable terms and conditions, which shall not impose any representations, warranties, obligations or liabilities on Harvard that are not included in this Agreement. Further, if after the effective date of any termination of this Agreement Licensee or its Affiliate or Sublicensee sells any Know-How Enabled Products or Discovered Products, then (a) for the remaining duration of any Non-Covered Royalty Term applicable to any such Know-How Enabled Product or Discovered Product, Licensee shall pay the applicable milestone payments set forth in Section 4.4, the royalty payments set forth in Section 4.5, payments under Section 4.6 with respect to any Sublicense or Strategic Partnership that survived (in whole or in part) the termination of this Agreement and with respect to any Know-How Enabled Product License, and provide reports and audit rights to Harvard pursuant to Article 5, and maintain insurance in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.2 with respect to such sales of such Know-How Enabled Products and/or Discovered Products.
