In such event, if the Acquiror or Acquiree (or a Third Party that is an Affiliate of such

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Confidential

Acquiror or Acquiree prior to and following the date of such Acquisition Transaction) was Developing, Manufacturing or Commercializing one or more Competing Product(s) prior to the closing of such Acquisition Transaction (each an “Acquired Competing Product”), subject to the Concerned Party’s compliance with this Section 6.2.2, such Concerned Party shall be deemed not to be in breach of Section ‎6.2.1:

6.2.1.(d) if it requires that, the Acquiror (or Acquiree) and its Affiliates existing as of the date of the Acquisition Transaction (excluding the Concerned Party and its Affiliates) continue to Develop (including Manufacture thereof solely for such Development purposes) such Acquired Competing Product without the participation or use of assets (including employees) owned or employed by the Concerned Party prior to the Acquisition Transaction, provided that, in the event the Concerned Party elects to proceed in accordance with this Section 6.2.2.(d), no later than [***] following the completion of [***] or [***] for [***], and in any event and under all circumstances prior to any Commercialization of such Acquired Competing Product anywhere in the world, the Concerned Party shall elect, and shall complete, one of the options set forth in the foregoing Sections 6.2.2.(a), 6.2.2.(b), and 6.2.2.(c) above with respect either to the Competing Acquired Product (i.e., if the Concerned Party elects Section 6.2.2.(b) or 6.2.2.(c)) or the Product corresponding thereto (i.e., if the Concerned Party elects Section 6.2.2.(a)), as applicable. For clarity, any Commercialization of the Acquired Competing Product anywhere in the world (except as expressly contemplated by Section 6.2.2) shall be deemed a breach of this Section 6.2 by the Concerned Party. For avoidance of doubt, Divestiture of the Acquired Competing Product in accordance with Section 6.2.2.(b) shall not constitute Commercialization of the Acquired Competing Product for purposes of this Section 6.2.2.(d). In the event that the Concerned Party drops the Product corresponding to the Acquired Competing Product in accordance with Section 6.2.2.(a) as contemplated by this Section 6.2.2.(d), the Concerned Party shall require that, subject to Section 6.2.2.(f), the Acquiror (or Acquiree) and its Affiliates existing as of the date of the Acquisition Transaction (excluding the Concerned Party and its Affiliates) continue to Develop and Commercialize

For avoidance of doubt, if Pieris is the Concerned Party and drops or has dropped the Product corresponding to the Acquired Competing Product, then Pieris’ non-compete obligations referenced in Section 5.2.1.(c) shall not apply to such Product.

6.2.1.(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party is acquired by an Acquiror having a Competing Product (i) of the Lead Product or a CoDev Product that such Party has entirely out-licensed to a Third Party or (ii) if such Party is Pieris, of a Servier WW Collaboration Product, such Acquiror or Acquiree or its Affiliates prior to the Acquisition Transaction may in lieu of (a) to (d) above, elect to continue to Develop and Commercialize (including Manufacture thereof for such purposes) such Acquired Competing Product without the participation or use of assets (including employees) owned or employed by the Acquiror or Acquiree prior to the Acquisition Transaction or resulting from this Agreement.

6.2.1.(f) For purposes of this Section 6.2.2:

(i) The term “Divest” or “Divestiture” means, with respect to an Acquired Competing Product, the sale, exclusive (even with respect to a Party and its Affiliates) license, or other delegation, assignment or transfer by a Party or its Affiliates of all of their respective Development and Commercialization rights or obligations with respect to such compound or product to a Third Party without the retention or reservation of any commercialization interest or participation rights (other than solely an economic interest or the right to enforce customary terms and conditions contained in the relevant agreements effectuating such Divestiture, including rights of access and review in connection therewith).

(ii) With respect to Sections 6.2.2.(a) through 6.2.2.(e), the acquired or acquiring Party and its Affiliates (including the Acquiror or Acquiree and their respective Affiliates) will adopt reasonable procedures (which include appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards, including underlying operating system and network security controls and other firewalls) to prevent the disclosure of (1) all Confidential Information of the other Party, (2) all Pieris IP, Servier IP and Joint IP, and (3) all other information (including Know-How) with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Products (including any Joint Development Plans and Collaboration Plans), including any structures of any such item and any Data generated in connection with activities hereunder (collectively, the “Sensitive Information”) beyond such acquired or acquiring Party’s and its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ or subcontractors’ employees, agents or independent contractors who actively work under this Agreement or any Party Supply Agreement and who do not work on any Acquired Competing Program, which procedures

will include reasonable restrictions on the scope of any Sensitive Information required to be provided by the other Party. For clarity, the foregoing will not apply to any Sensitive Information that is not treated as Confidential Information hereunder. Pending the election of Sections 6.2.2.(a) to 6.2.2.(d), or as long as Section 6.2.2.(e) applies, the Non-Concerned Party shall be released from its governance and reporting obligations to the Concerned Party with respect to the Development and Commercialization of the Product (other than pursuant to Section 4.2.1).

7.3.2 Cooperation. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing of any Third Party IP Claim and of any known or suspected infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation by a Third Party of any Pieris Patent Rights or Servier Patent Rights in the Field (such suspected infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation, “Competing Infringement”) of which such Party becomes aware. The notifying Party will provide the other Party with all evidence available to it supporting its belief that there is Competing Infringement.

7.3.3 Defense.

7.3.3.(a) Each Party shall be responsible for any claim by a Third Party that its activities related to this Agreement, including the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Product, infringe any Patent Rights of a Third Party in its Territory, such as a claim under Sections 7.5.1.(b) or 7.5.1.(c) (such Party, the “Defending Party”). The Defending Party shall be responsible for legal fees and any monetary damages levied in connection with any such action.

7.3.3.(b) As between the Parties, the Party controlling the prosecution and maintenance of any Patent under Section 7.2 will have the right (but not the obligation), at its sole discretion and expense, to defend against a declaratory judgment action or other action challenging any such Patent. If the Party controlling such prosecution and maintenance of Patents under Section 7.2 does not confirm it will defend such Patent under this Section 7.5.3.(b) within [***] (or such shorter period of time as is required under the applicable Law in the United States or any other country in the Territory to not waive any statutory rights), or elects not to continue any such defense (in which case it will promptly provide notice thereof to the other Party), then the other Party will have the right (but not the obligation), at its sole discretion, to defend any such Patent.

7.3.3.(c) For avoidance of a doubt, the Defending Party or the Party defending an action under Section 7.5.3.(b) shall have the right to obtain assistance from the other Party as set forth in Section 7.5.5.

7.3.4 Enforcement.

7.3.4.(a) Servier shall have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation, to take any reasonable measures it deems appropriate with respect to any Competitive Infringement in the Servier Territory of any Servier Patent Rights, Servier Know-How, Joint Patent, Joint Know-How, or Product Specific Patents. Such measures may include (a) initiating or prosecuting an infringement, misappropriation or other appropriate suit or action (each an “Infringement Action”) in the Servier Territory, or (b) granting adequate rights and licenses to any Third Party necessary to render continued Competitive Infringement in the Servier Territory non-infringing. Pieris will consider in good faith any request from Servier to initiate an Infringement Action in the Servier Territory against any Third Party with respect to such Competitive Infringement of any Pieris Building Block Patent Rights or Patent Rights within the Pieris Platform IP or Pieris Platform Improvement IP; provided, however, that Pieris shall not be

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Confidential

required to initiate any such Infringement Action or permit Servier to initiate any such Infringement Action with respect to any Pieris Building Block Patent Rights or Patent Rights within the Pieris Platform IP or Pieris Platform Improvement IP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Servier does not inform Pieris that it intends to either initiate such an Infringement Action or grant adequate rights and licenses to such Third Party within [***] after Servier’s receipt of a notice of infringement (or sooner if any deadlines require action prior to such [***], then Pieris will have the second right, but not the obligation, to initiate such Infringement Action, but solely with respect to any Joint Patent, Joint Know-How, Product Specific Patents, or Patent Rights within the Pieris IP, Pieris Platform IP or Pieris Platform Improvement IP.

7.3.4.(b) Pieris shall have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation, to take any reasonable measures it deems appropriate with respect to any Competitive Infringement in the Pieris Territory of any Pieris Patent Rights, Pieris Know-How, Joint Patent, Joint Know-How, or Product Specific Patents. Such measures may include (a) initiating or prosecuting an Infringement Action in the Pieris Territory, or (b) granting adequate rights and licenses to any Third Party necessary to render continued Competitive Infringement in the Pieris Territory non-infringing. Servier will consider in good faith any request from Pieris to initiate an Infringement Action in the Pieris Territory against any Third Party with respect to such Competitive Infringement of any Servier Building Block Patent Rights; provided, however, that Servier shall not be required to initiate any such Infringement Action or permit Pieris to initiate any such Infringement Action with respect to any Servier Building Block Patent Rights. In the event that Pieris does not wish to initiate or discontinues such an Infringement Action, Servier shall not have the right to initial such Infringement Action.

7.3.5 Cooperation and Settlement. During the pendency of such action with respect to any Third Party IP Claim, at the other Party’s request, the Party responsible for defending or enforcing any such action (the “Responsible Party”) shall provide the other Party with all information reasonably requested regarding the status of such action (subject to the other Party entering into a common interest agreement if requested by the Responsible Party, and without disclosing any information that would compromise attorney-client privilege or similar privileges). All materials provided by the Responsible Party to the other Party shall be treated as the Responsible Party’s Confidential Information. In any action or defense initiated by the Responsible Party, the other Party shall be entitled to, and if legally required shall, join the action so long as the Responsible Party retains at all times the sole right to direct and control the action (including the choice of its own counsel). The other Party is entitled to be independently represented by counsel of its choice, at its expense. When either Party is bringing or defending an action with respect to any Third Party IP Claim, then (a) upon request by the Responsible Party, the other Party will assist in the defense against or enforcement of such action at the other Party’s costs, including if required or desirable to bring, maintain or prove damages in such action, furnishing a power of attorney, furnishing documents and information, cooperating in discovery, providing access to witnesses (including inventors) and executing all

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Confidential

necessary documents as such Party may request, and (b) neither Party shall settle, consent to judgment or otherwise voluntarily dispose of the suit or action without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld if such settlement, consent to judgment or other voluntary disposition does not impose any liability on the other Party (other than liability that is fully satisfied by the settling Party on behalf of the other Party) and does not impose any restrictions on the other Party.

7.3.6 Allocation of Proceeds. The proceeds recovered by a Party from any enforcement action described in Section 7.5.4 (including any licensing revenues) shall be first allocated to the reimbursement of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Party who exercises its enforcement rights with respect to the Third Party IP Claims under this Section 7.5.6 and then to cover such costs and expenses of the other Party, provided that if such other Party has not elected to join the action but has been required to do so by the enforcing Party, the enforcing Party shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the other Party. If such recovery is insufficient to cover all such costs and expenses of both Parties, it shall be shared between the Parties, with the Party who exercises its enforcement rights under this Section 7.5.6 and recovers damages retaining [***] and the other Party retaining [***] of such funds. If such recovery exceeds the amount required to cover all such costs and expenses of both Parties, the excess proceeds shall be split and with the enforcing Party retaining [***] of such excess proceeds and the non-enforcing Party receiving the remaining [***] of such excess proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to CoDev Collaboration Products or the Lead Product, where Pieris is the enforcing Party with respect to any action in the United States, Pieris shall retain all remaining funds resulting from such action.

Section 7.4 Trademarks.

7.4.1 Product Trademarks. Each Party shall select one or more product trademarks (including backup trademarks) for the Products for use by such Party in its Respective Territory (including backup trademarks) (the “Product Trademarks”) in line with the agreed upon Global Branding Strategy.

7.4.2 Responsibility.

7.4.2.(a) Servier shall be responsible for filing, registering, maintaining and defending Product Trademarks in the Servier Territory at Servier’s expense and in its own name. Subject to any Global Branding Strategy, Servier may, at its own discretion, select for the Product Trademark which was already filed or registered in Servier’s portfolio. Servier shall have the right to affix any logo or trade name of its choice on the Product in the Servier Territory.

7.4.2.(b) Pieris shall be responsible for filing, registering, maintaining and defending Product Trademarks in the Pieris Territory at Pieris’ expense and in its own name. Subject to any Global Branding Strategy, Pieris may, at its own

7.4.2.(c) If the Parties agree that Pieris will use in its Territory Product Trademarks selected by Servier for the Lead Product or any the CoDev Products, Servier shall file and maintain such Product Trademarks in Pieris Territory in consultation with Pieris (including, as appropriate, through the JIPC), at Pieris’ costs, and shall grant to Pieris an exclusive license with the right to sublicense, to the Product Trademarks in connection with the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of the Lead Product or the CoDev Products in the Pieris Territory, as applicable.

7.4.3 Domain Names. The Parties may also separately select domain names including or close to a Product Trademark owned by such Party. Such Party shall be responsible for filing and registering such domain names at such Party’s expense and in its own name.

7.4.4 Ownership; Rights. Subject to the remainder of this Section 7.6, neither Party shall have any interest, title or right in any of the Trademarks used by a Party or other trade dress, logos, trade names and designs. Neither Party shall directly or indirectly seek through judicial or administrative process, to invalidate, oppose or challenge the validity, enforceability or scope of any Trademarks or other trade dress, logos, trade names and designs used by the other Party in connection with any Products. During the Term of this Agreement and thereafter, the Parties undertake not to take any actions and not to assist in any such actions to acquire any property rights in and to the Trademarks, trade dress, logos, trade names, and designs used in connection with the Products by the other Party, in particular not to register nor attempt to register in its name any trademark, trade name, trade or designs, identical or similar to the Trademarks, trade dress, logos, trade names, and designs used in connection with the Products by the other Party. Each Party shall not register nor use directly or indirectly any domain name including a name identical to or similar to the Trademarks or trade names used by the other Party in connection with any Product.

7.4.5 Approval Right. Any and all use by each Party of the Trademarks or and any trade dress, logos, trade names, and designs used in connection with the Products by the other Party shall be subject to the other Party’s prior express written approval.

Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such ninety (90) day period if, prior to the expiration of the ninety (90) day period, the breaching Party has not cured any such breach or default, provided, that with respect to a breach of such Party’s Commercially Reasonable Efforts obligations to Develop or Commercialize the Product, such cure period shall be extended for a period not to exceed an additional ninety (90) days in the event such breaching Party has, within the original ninety (90) day period prepared and communicated to the non-breaching Party, a remediation plan reasonably designed to cure such breach or default within a reasonable period of time (which plan is reasonably acceptable to the non-breaching Party) and such breaching Party continues to diligently use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement such plan throughout such period. If the allegedly breaching Party disputes the breach and provides written notice of that dispute to the other Party, the matter shall be addressed under the dispute resolution provisions in Section 13.3, and the notifying Party may not terminate this Agreement until it has been finally determined under Section 13.3 that the Agreement was materially breached as described above.

12.3.3.(b) If Pieris wishes to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Lead or a CoDev Product for a safety concern that does not rise to the level of a safety issue as set forth in Section 12.2.5, then Pieris shall be permitted to do so under the terms and conditions with the effects described under Sections 12.3.1(b), (c), and (e)–(j) applied to Pieris mutatis mutandis except that (i) Pieris’s obligation to provide continued supply of the Product for [***] under Section 12.3.1.(g) and (ii) Pieris’s obligation to continue and fund or co-fund ongoing Clinical Studies and ongoing Manufacturing campaigns for [***] under Section 12.3.1.(e) shall not apply.

12.3.4.(a) (i) the licenses granted to Servier hereunder shall continue and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement shall terminate with the exception of: (1) the milestone, royalty and payment terms under Section 2.6, Section 3.6, and ARTICLE 4 (as applicable and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 12.3.4), (2) all terms required to enforce such payment terms, such as the financial reporting, audit and record keeping provisions, and (3) all other terms that would otherwise survive termination.

12.3.4.(c) After submission of any Dispute regarding such material breach to arbitration pursuant to Section 13.3, Servier may elect to reduce all milestone and Royalty payments due to Pieris under this Agreement by [***] (i.e., to only pay to Pieris [***] of such amounts when they become) and place the remaining [***] in escrow with a Third Party escrow agent reasonably acceptable to the Parties and which has entered into a three party agreement with Pieris and Servier, until the matter is resolved by the arbitral tribunal. If the arbitral tribunal awards Servier: (i) damages in excess of the amount placed in escrow, the escrow agent shall return to Servier the amounts placed in escrow and Pieris shall pay the difference to Servier or (ii) damages lower than the amount placed in escrow, the escrow agent shall pay to Servier the amount of damages awarded by the arbitral tribunal and pay the balance of the amount in escrow to Pieris.

12.3.4.(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the breach of Pieris’ exclusivity under Section 2.1 or Section 3.2 or non-compete covenant under Section 6.2.1 shall be deemed a material breach of Pieris of sufficiently material nature to allow Servier to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2.1 (subject to the opportunity to cure and dispute resolution as provided in that Section and the provision of Section 12.3.4(c) pending such dispute resolution). In such case, the provisions of Section 12.3.4.(a) shall apply and the Parties agree that the milestone and Royalty payments due to Pieris shall be [***]

Pieris Pharmaceuticals and Servier Forge Strategic Immuno-oncology Co-development Alliance


•	Pieris and Servier, an independent international pharmaceutical company headquartered in France with annual sales of more than EUR4 billion, to jointly pursue several bispecific therapeutic programs including Pieris’ proprietary dual checkpoint inhibitor PRS-332


•	Alliance includes four additional bispecific programs and may be expanded to a total of eight immuno-oncology programs (including PRS-332); Pieris has option to co-develop and retain US rights for 4 of these programs, including PRS-332


•	Pieris to receive EUR30 million ($31.3 million USD) upfront, up to EUR324 million ($338 million) in success-based payments for PRS-332, up to EUR193 million ($201 million) in success-based payments for each of the other programs and up to double-digit royalties


•	Pieris will host an investor conference call on Thursday, January 5, 2017 at 8:30 AM (EST) to discuss the collaboration

Boston, MA, and Suresnes, France, 5 January 2017 – Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PIRS), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing novel biotherapeutics through its proprietary Anticalin^® technology platform, and Servier, an independent international pharmaceutical company, today announced a broad collaboration in immuno-oncology (IO). Despite the impressive clinical efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors to date, a majority of patients fail to respond to approved therapies. The collaboration seeks to address this significant unmet clinical need by advancing a series of novel molecules, including multiple dual immune checkpoint blockade approaches.

Under the collaboration, Pieris and Servier will initially pursue five bispecific therapeutic programs, led by Pieris’ PRS-332 program, a potentially best-in-class PD-1-targeting bispecific checkpoint inhibitor. Pieris and Servier will jointly develop PRS-332 and split commercial rights geographically, with Pieris retaining all commercial rights in the United States and Servier having commercial rights in the rest of the world. The four additional committed programs have been defined, which may combine antibodies from the Servier portfolio with one or more Anticalin proteins based on Pieris’ proprietary platform to generate innovative immuno-oncology bispecific drug candidates. The collaboration may be expanded by up to three additional therapeutic programs. Pieris has the option, at a predefined time point, to co-develop and retain commercial rights in the United States for up to three programs beyond PRS-332, while Servier will be responsible for development and commercialization of the 4 other programs worldwide.

The financial terms of the collaboration include an upfront payment to Pieris of EUR30 million (approximately $31.3 million USD). Pieris may also receive FTE funding for specific projects, an option fee upon potential expansion of the collaboration as well as development-dependent and commercial milestone payments for PRS-332 and each additional program. The total development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments to Pieris could reach EUR324 million (approximately $338 million USD) for PRS-332, and up to EUR193 million (approximately $201 million USD) for each of the other programs. Pieris and Servier

134

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Confidential

will share preclinical and clinical development costs for each co-developed program. In addition, Pieris will be entitled to receive tiered royalties up to low double digits on the sales of commercialized products in the Servier territories.

Pieris’ multispecific technology allows simultaneous checkpoint inhibition on the same cell, which could have a clear advantage over monoclonal antibody cocktails against different checkpoint targets. PRS-332 is a novel PD-1-based bispecific, comprising an anti-PD-1 antibody genetically linked to an Anticalin protein targeting an undisclosed checkpoint target. Pieris has developed PRS-332, which is currently in preclinical development, with the intent to simultaneously block two immune checkpoints co-expressed on exhausted T cells to further improve on existing PD-1 therapies.

“Servier is a highly complementary partner for Pieris, with a very clear commitment to oncology and outstanding development capabilities,” stated Dr. Louis Matis, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer of Pieris. “The synergies of building unique bispecifics from Servier’s antibodies and Pieris’ Anticalin proteins are multifold, as the versatility of our platform allows for extensive combinatorial target opportunities with the numerous IO ‘building blocks’ our team has discovered to date.”

“This alliance will significantly enhance Servier’s portfolio in immuno-oncology, which already comprises 5 products in late preclinical or early development. Servier’s recognized expertise in drug development will efficiently complement Pieris’ innovative technology, allowing both companies to bring innovative solutions to cancer patients,” stated Jean-Pierre Abastado, PhD, Director of Oncology R&D at Servier.

“Servier has built a diversified and innovative portfolio in oncology that includes small molecules, engineered antibodies, and cell therapies for the treatment of both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Today’s alliance with Pieris adds another dimension to our strategy of becoming a key player in oncology, providing several next-generation bispecific IO drugs to our pipeline,” added Emmanuel Canet, M.D., Ph.D., President of Servier R&D.

“Our alliance with Servier is clearly a transformative one for Pieris and is the type of partnership we deliberately set out to achieve to create significant long-term value. This collaboration provides not only an opportunity to advance multiple programs with retained rights in the number one oncology market, but also provides significant funding and flexibility for Pieris to balance financial and operational resources as we enter the next stage of corporate development,” stated Stephen Yoder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pieris. “The Servier alliance will act as a significant building block of our pipeline expansion in immuno-oncology and demonstrates the value of our proprietary Anticalin drug class.”

Conference Call:

Pieris will host an investor conference call on Thursday, January 5, 2017 at 8:30 AM (EST) to discuss the collaboration. To access the call, participants may dial 1-877-407-8920 (US & Canada) or 1-412-902-1010 (International) at least 10 minutes prior to the start of the call.

6.	CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICITY

(the “Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Article 7. Following the natural expiration of the Term, the license granted to Licensee shall be fully paid up, irrevocable, and royalty-free. In addition, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, this Agreement shall terminate upon termination of the Collaboration Agreement.

7.2 Termination for Material Breach. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event the other Party has materially breached or materially defaulted in the performance of any of its payment obligations hereunder which breach or default is material in the overall context of the Agreement, and such breach has continued for hundred and twenty (120) days after written notice thereof was provided to the breaching Party by the non-breaching Party which clearly describes the remedies that the non-breaching Party intends to apply should the breach remain uncured. Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such hundred and twenty (120) day period if, prior to the expiration of the hundred and twenty (120) day period, the breaching Party has not cured any such breach or default. If the allegedly breaching Party disputes the breach and provides written notice of that dispute to the other Party, the matter shall be addressed under the dispute resolution provisions in Section 10.2 and the notifying Party may not terminate this Agreement until it has been finally determined under Section 10.2 that the Agreement was materially breached as described above. The non-breaching Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to either the entire Licensed Product or only the countries to which the uncured material breach relates, provided that this Agreement cannot be terminated only with respect to some (but not all) countries of the European Union.

7.3 Effect of Termination. Expiration or termination of this Agreement will not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination, including Licensee’s obligations to pay all fees and royalties that shall have accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of expiration or termination. Termination of this Agreement shall result in the termination of the licenses granted to Licensee, and all such rights shall immediately revert to Pieris in full. The provisions of Sections 1 (to the extent necessary to give effect to the surviving provisions), 3.8 (for any final reports), 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.


8.	INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

8.1 Indemnification by Licensee. Licensee will indemnify Pieris, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Pieris Indemnitees”), and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any and all liability suits, investigations, claims or demands by Third Parties (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) arising out of (a) a Licensee Indemnitee’s negligence or willful misconduct; or (b) Licensee’s breach (or allegation of a breach) of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement, except to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of a Pieris Indemnitee, or (ii) Pieris’s breach of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement.

8.2 Indemnification by Pieris. Pieris will indemnify Licensee and its Sublicensees, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Licensee Indemnitees”), and defend and hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses

in connection with any and all Third Party Claims to the extent arising from or occurring as a result of or in connection with (a) a Pieris Indemnitee’s negligence or willful misconduct or (b) Pieris’s breach (or allegation of a breach) of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement, except to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of a Licensee Indemnitee, or (ii) Licensee’s breach of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement.

8.3 Indemnification Procedure. To be eligible to be indemnified as described in this Article 8, each of the Indemnitees seeking to be indemnified shall provide the indemnifying Party with prompt notice of any claim (with a description of the claim and the nature and amount of any such loss) giving rise to the indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2, as the case may be, and the exclusive ability to defend such claim (with the reasonable cooperation of the Indemnitee(s)). Each Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, at its own expense, if representation by the counsel of the indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee(s) and the indemnifying Party. Neither the Indemnitee(s) nor the indemnifying Party shall settle or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim for losses for which indemnification is sought without the prior written consent of the other (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

8.4 Insurance. Licensee will, and will cause its Sublicensees to, have and maintain such types and amounts of liability insurance (including product liability coverage) as is normal and customary in the industry generally for a party similarly situated, and will upon Pieris’s request provide Pieris with a copy of such policies of insurance in that regard, along with any amendments and revisions thereto.


9.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF DATA, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION AND ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL NOT APPLY TO AN AWARD OF ENHANCED DAMAGES AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS FOR WILLFUL INFRINGEMENT AND WILL NOT LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER SECTIONS 6 AND 8 OF THIS AGREEMENT.


10.	MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Restrictions; No Other Licenses. Except as expressly set forth hereunder, neither Party grants to the other Party any rights, licenses or covenants in or to any Patents or Know-How, whether by implication, estoppel, vicariously, indirectly or otherwise, other than the license rights that are specifically and expressly granted under this Agreement. All rights not specifically and expressly granted by a licensing party under this Agreement are reserved by such licensing party and may be used or practiced by such licensing party for any purpose.

10.2 Dispute Resolution

10.2.1 Arbitration. In the event a dispute arises (each, a “Dispute”), the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute, failing which either Party may cause such Dispute to be referred to the Executive Officers for resolution. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by unanimous consent. If the Parties cannot resolve such Dispute within [***] of the matter being referred to them, then either Party may submit such Dispute to arbitration for final resolution by arbitration request (the “Arbitration Request”) under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules”) by three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules (each such arbitration, an “Arbitration”). Each Arbitration will be conducted in English and all foreign language documents shall be submitted in the original language and, if so requested by any arbitrator or Party, shall also be accompanied by a translation into English. The place of arbitration shall be Zurich, Switzerland. The arbitrators in any Arbitration shall enforce and not modify the terms of this Agreement. The award of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on each Party and its respective successors and assigns. All costs and expenses of any Arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and the administrative and arbitrator fees and expenses, shall be borne by the Parties as determined by the arbitrators. For purposes of Article 6(4) of the Rules, the Parties agree that claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the Collaboration Agreement may be determined together in a single arbitration. For purposes of Article 10 of the Rules, the Parties agree that any Party may request the consolidation of any arbitration subject to this Agreement with any arbitration subject to the Collaboration Agreement, even if the parties to the respective arbitrations are not identical. Unless the Parties subsequently agree otherwise, the arbitrations shall be consolidated into the arbitration that commenced first.

10.2.2 Confidentiality. Except to the limited extent necessary to comply with applicable Law, legal process, or a court order or to enforce a final settlement agreement or secure enforcement or vacatur of the arbitrators’ award, the Parties agree that the existence, terms and content of any Arbitration, all information and documents disclosed in any Arbitration or evidencing any arbitration results, award, judgment or settlement, or the performance thereof, and any allegations, statements and admissions made or positions taken by either Party in any Arbitration shall be treated and maintained in confidence and are not intended to be used or disclosed for any other purpose or in any other forum.

10.2.3 Communications with Internal Counsel. In the course of the negotiation and implementation of this Agreement and the resolution of any disputes, investigations, administrative or other proceedings relating thereto, each Party will call upon the members of its internal legal department to provide advice to such Party and its directors, employees and agents on legal matters. Notwithstanding any rights to the contrary under applicable procedural or substantive rules of law, each Party agrees not to request, produce or otherwise use any such communications between members of its legal department and directors, employees or agents in connection with any such disputes, investigations, administrative or other proceedings, to the extent such communications, if they had been exchanged between such Party and external attorneys, would have been covered by legal privilege and not disclosable.

10.4 Assignment. This Agreement will not be assignable by either Party, nor may either Party delegate its obligations or otherwise transfer any licenses granted herein or other rights created by this Agreement, except as expressly permitted hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may assign this Agreement, without the consent of the other Party, to an Affiliate or to its Third Party successor in connection with a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets to which this Agreement pertains or that portion of its business pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement (including in all cases, the Collaboration Agreement), or any Change of Control of such Party; provided that the assignee assumes all of the assigning Party’s obligations under this Agreement, subject to this Section 10.4. Any assignment in violation of this provision is void and without effect.

10.5 Trade names and Trademarks. Except as otherwise provided herein, no right, express or implied, is granted to a Party by this Agreement to use in any manner the name of the other Party or its Affiliates or any other trade name, trademark or logo of the other Party or its Affiliates.

10.6 Binding Agreement. This Agreement, and the terms and conditions hereof, will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, administrators and permitted assigns.

10.7 Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations under this Agreement, no Party will be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to be in default under, or in breach of any provision of, this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation of this Agreement when such failure or delay is due to force majeure, and without the fault or negligence of the Party so failing or delaying. For purposes of this Agreement, “force majeure” is defined as causes beyond the control of the Party, including, without limitation, acts of God; Laws of any government; war; civil commotion; destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, flood, earthquake, explosion or storm; labor disturbances; epidemic; and failure of public utilities or common carriers. In the event of force majeure, Pieris or Licensee, as the case may be, will immediately notify the other Party of such inability and of the period for which such inability is expected to continue. The Party giving such notice will thereupon be excused from such of its obligations under this Agreement as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as such Party is so disabled, up to a maximum of [***], after which time the Party not affected by the force majeure may terminate this Agreement. To the extent possible, each Party will use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any force majeure.

10.8 Notices. Any notice or request required or permitted to be given under or in connection with this Agreement will be deemed to have been sufficiently given if in writing and personally delivered or sent by certified mail (return receipt requested), facsimile transmission (receipt verified), email or overnight express courier service (signature required), prepaid, to the Party for which such notice is intended, at the address set forth for such Party below:
