Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporations best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporations best interests, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred.
The Registrants amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective immediately prior to and upon the completion of this offering, respectively, provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General
II-1
Corporation Law. Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:
| transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit; |
| act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or |
| breach of a directors duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders. |
The Registrants amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as currently in effect, includes such a provision, and the Registrants amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering will include such a provision. Expenses incurred by any officer or director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by the Registrant upon delivery to it of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and executive officers, that require the Registrant to indemnify such persons against any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys, witness or other professional fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such persons in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (including derivative actions), whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer or is or was acting or serving as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Registrant or any of its affiliated enterprises. Under these agreements, the Registrant is not required to provided indemnification for certain matters, including:
| indemnification beyond that permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law; |
| indemnification for any proceeding with respect to the unlawful payment of remuneration to the director or officer; |
| indemnification for certain proceedings involving a final judgment that the director or officer is required to disgorge profits from the purchase or sale of the Registrants stock; |
| indemnification for proceedings involving a final judgment that the directors or officers conduct was in bad faith, knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or constituted willful misconduct or a breach of his or her duty of loyalty, but only to the extent of such specific determination; |
| indemnification for proceedings or claims brought by an officer or director against us or any of the Registrants directors, officers, employees or agents, except for claims to establish a right of indemnification or proceedings or claims approved by the Registrants board of directors or required by law; |
| indemnification for settlements the director or officer enters into without the Registrants consent; or |
| indemnification in violation of any undertaking required by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), or in any registration statement filed by the Registrant. |
II-2
The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder. Except as otherwise disclosed under the heading Legal Proceedings in the Business section of the prospectus included in this registration statement, there is at present no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of the Registrants directors or executive officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and the Registrant is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.
The Registrant has an insurance policy in place that covers its officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, or otherwise.
The Registrant plans to enter into an underwriting agreement which provides that the underwriters are obligated, under some circumstances, to indemnify the Registrants directors, officers and controlling persons against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Item 15. Recent sales of unregistered securities.
Set forth below is information regarding securities issued and options granted by us since November 30, 2017 that were not registered under the Securities Act. Also included is the consideration, if any, received by us, for such securities and options and information relating to the Securities Act, or rule of the SEC, under which exemption from registration was claimed.
(1) In December 2017, we issued and sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock to our founders pursuant to a series of stock purchase agreements at a purchase price of $0.001 per share, and received aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000.
(2) In April 2018, we entered into a Series A and A-1 preferred stock purchase agreement with various investors, pursuant to which we issued and sold to such investors an aggregate of 7,557,990 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock and 998,225 shares of our Series A-1 convertible preferred stock at a purchase price of $35.062233 per share, and received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $300 million. Half of this funding was received in April 2018 and the remainder was received in July and August 2018.
(3) In April 2018, we entered into an asset contribution agreement with Pfizer Inc., pursuant to which we issued and sold to Pfizer an aggregate of 3,187,772 shares of our Series A-1 convertible preferred stock in exchange for certain assets and rights relating to investigational drugs.
(4) In June 2018, we granted stock options under our amended and restated 2018 equity incentive plan, as amended (the Prior Plan), to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,677,900 shares of our common stock to our employees, directors and consultants, at a weighted-average exercise price of $11.89 per share. In August 2018, we granted stock options under the Prior Plan to purchase up to an aggregate of 352,200 shares of our common stock to our employees and consultants, at a weighted-average exercise price of $25.06 per share. From June 2018 to the effective date of this registration statement, 956,301 shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of options granted to employees, directors and consultants and the payment of $11,370,419 to us was made.
(5) In September 2018, we entered into a note purchase agreement with certain individual and institutional accredited investors, pursuant to which we sold and issued $120.2 million aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes in exchange for $116.9 million in net cash proceeds.
The offers, sales and issuances of the securities described in paragraphs (1) through (3) and (5) were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) (or Regulation D promulgated thereunder) in that the issuance of securities to the accredited investors did not involve a public offering. The recipients of securities in each of these transactions acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to
II-3
the securities issued in these transactions. Each of the recipients of securities in these transactions was an accredited investor under Rule 501 of Regulation D. No underwriters were involved in these transactions.
The offers, sales and issuances of the securities described in paragraph (4) were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on either Rule 701 in that the transactions were under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701 or Section 4(a)(2) in that the issuance of securities to the accredited investors did not involve a public offering. The recipients of such securities were our employees, directors or bona fide consultants and received the securities under the Prior Plan.
Appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions. Each of the recipients of securities in these transactions had adequate access, through employment, business or other relationships, to information about us.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(a) | For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. |
(b) | For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
II-5
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of South San Francisco, State of California, on the 17th day of September, 2018.

Section 11.7 Payment Terms
11.7.1 Payment. All payments made by the paying Party pursuant to this Article 11 shall be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such bank and account of the receiving Party as may be designated from time to time by the receiving Party. No payment due from a Party to the other Party hereunder may be offset against other payments, except with the written agreement of both Parties. All payments under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the receiving Party to the paying Party, as follows: (i) in US Dollars with respect to the milestone and royalty payments payable by Pfizer hereunder related to the CD19 Product and the ROR1 Product; and (ii) in US Dollars with respect to the regulatory milestone payments and in Euros with respect to the Sales Milestone and royalty payments payable by Servier hereunder related to the EGFRVIII Product. For any payment made from a Party to the other Party, when conversion of payments from any foreign currency is required to be undertaken, the Dollar or Euro equivalent shall be calculated by the paying Party in accordance with Section 11.7.6. All sums due hereunder to either Party will be payable by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as the Parties will designate. Each party will
[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED
53
CONFIDENTIAL
notify the other as to the date and amount of any such wire transfer at least [***] days prior to such transfer.
11.7.2 Terms. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all other payments due hereunder will be paid within [***] days following receipt of an invoice requesting such payment.
11.7.3 Invoices. All invoices provided to a Party hereunder should include the receiving Partys bank details, the contact name for issue resolution and will be marked for the attention of the Alliance Manager.
11.7.4 Late Payment. Interest shall accrue on any late payment of fees owed to the receiving Party not made on the date such payment is due, at an annual interest rate equal to the lesser of [***], with such interest accruing from the date the payment was originally due to the receiving Party, and any late payment pursuant to this Section 11.7.4 shall be credited first to interest and then to any outstanding fees. This Section 11.7.4 shall in no way limit any other rights and remedies available to the Party to whom payment is owed, whether arising under this Agreement or at law or in equity. Interest shall be calculated on a 365/360 basis.
11.7.5 Taxes and Withholding. It is understood and agreed between the Parties that any payments made under this Agreement are exclusive of any value added or similar tax (VAT), which shall be added thereon as applicable. Where VAT is properly added to a payment made under this Agreement, the Party making the payment will pay the amount of VAT only on receipt of a valid tax invoice issued in accordance with the Laws of the country in which the VAT tax is chargeable. In the event any payments made pursuant to this Agreement become subject to withholding taxes under the Laws of any jurisdiction, the Party making such payment shall deduct and withhold the amount of such taxes for the account of the payee to the extent required by applicable Laws and such amounts payable to the payee shall be reduced by the amount of taxes deducted and withheld. Any such withholding taxes required under applicable Laws to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by, the payee. To the extent that the Party making a payment is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payments under this Agreement, the Party making such payment shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to the payee an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable the payee to claim such payments of taxes. The payee shall provide any tax forms to the Party making such payment that may be reasonably necessary in order for such Party not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. The payee shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to the Party making the payment at least [***] days prior to the due date for any payments for which the payee desires that the Party making the payment apply a reduced withholding rate. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Law, of withholding taxes, VAT, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax or VAT. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) if an action (including but not limited to any assignment or sublicense of its rights or obligations under
[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED
54
CONFIDENTIAL
this Agreement, or any failure to comply with applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements) by a Party leads to the imposition of withholding tax liability or VAT on the other Party that would not have been imposed in the absence of such action or in an increase in such liability above the liability that would have been imposed in the absence of such action, then the sum payable by that Party (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that the other Party receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such action occurred, (ii) otherwise, the sum payable by that Party (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be made to the other Party after deduction of the amount required to be so deducted or withheld, which deducted or withheld amount shall be remitted in accordance with applicable Law.
11.7.6 Conversions. With respect to amounts required to be converted into another currency for calculation of the Net Sales amount, the milestones and the Royalty payments, such amount shall be converted using a rate of exchange which corresponds to the average monthly rate used for conversion between the relative currencies by whichever Party recorded the relevant receipt or expenditure, for the respective reporting period in its books and records that are maintained in accordance with GAAP or IFRS, as applicable, and used for its external reporting.
Section 11.8 Reports and Audits.
11.8.1 Milestone Payment Reports. On a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, each Party shall report each event that triggers a payment to the other Party pursuant to Section 11.3, within [***] business days of the occurrence of such event.
11.8.2 Sales Payment Reports. After the First Commercial Sale by a Party, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees (the Selling Party) of a Licensed Product requiring the payments due to the other Party pursuant to Sections 11.4 or 11.5 and ending, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, following the last to expire Royalty Term with respect to such Licensed Product, the Selling Party shall send to the other Party a written report within [***] days following the beginning of each Calendar Quarter or Pfizer Quarter, as applicable. Such report shall state, for the previous Calendar Quarter or Pfizer Quarter, as applicable, the description of each Licensed Product sold, by country, the corresponding Net Sales and the calculation of any milestones and Royalties due. Concurrently with the sending of such reports, the Selling shall pay to the other Party any Royalties or milestones due.
11.8.3 Records; Inspection. Each Party shall keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of determining the royalty amounts or milestone payment amounts payable under this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept at the principal place of business of each Party, as the case may be, for at least [***] years following the end of the [***] month period to which they pertain. Each Party (the Audited Party) shall make such account and records available, on reasonable notice sent by the other Party (the Auditing Party), for inspection during business hours, with not less than [***] Business Days advance written notice, by an independent auditor nominated by such and reasonably acceptable for the Audited Party, for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of any statement or
[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED

report given by the Audited Party pursuant to Sections 11.8.1 and 11.8.2, as well as any Development Costs due by a Party to the other Party. Such auditor shall advise the Parties simultaneously promptly upon its completion of its audit whether or not the payments due hereunder (including payments due in connection with the Development Costs, Manufacturing Costs and Net Sales) have been accurately recorded, calculated and reported, and, if not, then the amount of such discrepancy. A Partys financial records with respect to a given period of time shall only be subject to one (1) audit, except in the case of fraud. The Auditing Partys right to perform an audit pertaining to any Calendar Year shall expire [***] years after the end of such year. The auditor shall be required to keep confidential all information learnt during any such inspection, and to disclose to the Auditing Party only such details as may be necessary to report the accuracy of the Audited Partys statement or report. The Auditing Party shall be responsible for the auditors costs, unless the auditor certifies that there was a variation or error producing an increase exceeding [***] percent ([***]%) of the royalty amount stated for any period covered by the inspection, then all reasonable costs relating to the inspection for such period and any unpaid amounts that are discovered shall be paid promptly by the Audited Party, together with interest thereon from the date such were due at the lesser of the legal rate fixed by the European Central Bank plus [***] percent ([***]%) or the highest rate permissible by Law, and any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 11.8.3 shall be credited first to interest and then to any outstanding royalties.
11.8.4 No Guarantee of Success. Pfizer and Servier acknowledge and agree that payments pursuant to Section 11.3, Section 11.4 and Section 11.5: (a) have been included in this Agreement on the basis that they are only payable or otherwise relevant if a Licensed Product achieves certain levels of Development or Commercialization, as applicable, as set forth in this Agreement; (b) are solely intended to allocate amounts that may be realized upon achievement of certain levels of Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Product between Pfizer and Servier as set forth in this Agreement; and (c) will only be triggered, and will only be relevant as provided, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such provisions. Pfizer and Servier further acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement will be construed as representing any estimate or projection of (i) the successful Development or Commercialization of any Licensed Product under this Agreement, (ii) the number of Licensed Products that will or may achieve certain levels of Development or Commercialization as set forth under this Agreement, or (iii) anticipated sales or the actual value of any Licensed Products that may be successfully Developed or Commercialized under this Agreement. Neither Party makes any representation, warranty or covenant, either express or implied, that (A) it will successfully Develop, Manufacture, Commercialize or continue to Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize any Licensed Product in any country, or (B) if Commercialized, that any Licensed Product will achieve any particular sales level, whether in any individual country or cumulatively throughout the Respective Territory or (C) that it will devote, or cause to be devoted, any level of diligence or resources to Developing or Commercializing any Licensed Product in any country, or in the Territory in general, other than is expressly set forth in this Agreement.

CARs directed to ROR1 prior to the Option exercise (the ROR1 Pre-Option Exercise Work), the Parties acknowledge and agree that pursuant to the Servier / Cellectis Agreement, any and all inventions, Know-How and other intellectual property generated in connection therewith that specifically and solely relate to such Cellectis CARs directed to ROR1 (the ROR1 Pre-Option Exercise IP) shall (i) for the purposes of this paragraph, form part of the Servier IP (as such term is defined in the Servier / Cellectis Agreement) to be licensed to Cellectis in the absence of exercise of the Option to License under the Servier / Cellectis Agreement and (ii) be filed, prosecuted and maintained in accordance with the Servier / Cellectis Agreement. If the ROR1 Pre-Option Exercise Work lead to an improvement of the Platform Patents (as such term is defined in the Servier / Cellectis Agreement), then the Parties shall grant to Cellectis a worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sublicensable, co-exclusive (together with the Parties for the performance of their obligations under the Servier / Cellectis Agreement and the Agreement) license under such improvement to make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold, offer for sale, have offered for sale, import, have imported and otherwise exploit and commercialize products and process. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Pfizer acknowledges and agrees to comply with its obligations to Cellectis under the Servier / Cellectis Agreement arising from being Serviers sublicensee under that agreement, (except to any extent relieved in accordance with any agreement between Pfizer and Cellectis related thereto) and obligations to Cellectis with respect to, any and all inventions, Know-How and other intellectual property arising during the Term under this Agreement that would be defined as ROR1 Pre-Option Exercise IP under the Servier / Cellectis Agreement shall be governed by the terms of the Servier / Cellectis Agreement, and the Parties rights in and each Partys obligations to the other Party under this Agreement for any such ROR1 Pre-Option Exercise IP shall be subject to any applicable terms of the Servier / Cellectis Agreement.

Pfizer will keep Servier reasonably informed regarding each Patent Right included in the Licensed Patents that Pfizer or any Third Party licensor is prosecuting and will consider in good faith any recommendations made by Servier in regard to the filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such Patent Right. To the extent that at any time after the publication of a PCT application Pfizer wishes not to file, prosecute or maintain any Pfizer Patent Right that is a Joint Patent Right or that is otherwise directed primarily to a Licensed Product (except if not permitted with respect to any such Patent Right owned or co-owned by a Third Party licensor, including with respect to Cellectis, only to the extent not permitted under the Servier / Cellectis Agreement as of the Effective Date) in a Servier Territory, Pfizer will provide Servier with [***] days prior written notice to such effect, in which event Servier may elect to continue filing, prosecution or maintenance of such Patent Right, and Pfizer, upon Serviers written request received within such [***] day period, will execute such documents and perform such acts, at Servier expense, as may be reasonably necessary to assign to Servier (subject to any existing Third Party rights) Pfizers right, title and interest to such Patent Right and to permit Servier to file, prosecute and maintain such Patent Right, provided that Servier shall and does hereby grant to Pfizer (subject to any existing Third Party rights) a non-exclusive, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up worldwide license to practice and exploit such Patent Right for any and all purposes excluding (x) during the Term, uses for Licensed Products and Competing Products except as authorized under this Agreement, and (y) after the Term, uses for Licensed Products. For avoidance of doubt, prosecution as used in this section includes oppositions, nullity or revocation actions, post-grant reviews and other patent office proceedings involving the referenced Patent Rights.
12.2.2.2 Servier Patent Rights. Servier, to the extent permitted under the Cellectis Agreements and at its own expense, (except for those Out-of-Pocket Costs solely attributable to Pfizer Territories, for which Pfizer shall be solely responsible at its own expense) will have (i) the sole right or, if the license granted to Pfizer pursuant to Section 2.1.1 becomes worldwide, the first right in the Servier Territory and (ii) the first right in Pfizer Territory (in each case of (i) and (ii) except in the case of any Patent Rights covering other products in addition to Licensed Products, for which Servier shall have the sole right worldwide), but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain, throughout the world, any Patent Rights included in the Licensed Patents (other than within the UCART Technology) that it solely owns or has in-licensed from Third Parties.

Servier will keep Pfizer reasonably informed regarding each Patent Right included in the Licensed Patents that Servier or any Third Party licensor is prosecuting and will consider in good faith any recommendations made by Pfizer in regard to the filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such Patent Right. To the extent that at any time after the publication of a PCT application Servier wishes not to file, prosecute or maintain any Servier Patent Right that is a Joint Patent Right or that is otherwise directed primarily to a Licensed Product (except if not permitted with respect to any such Patent Right owned or co-owned by a Third Party licensor , including with respect to Cellectis, only to the extent not permitted under the Pfizer / Cellectis Agreement as of the Effective Date), Servier will provide Pfizer with [***] days prior written notice to such effect, in which event Pfizer may elect to continue filing, prosecution or maintenance of such Patent Right, and Servier, upon Pfizers written request received within such [***] day period, will execute such documents and perform such acts, at Pfizers expense, as may be reasonably necessary to assign to Pfizer (subject to any existing Third Party rights) Serviers right, title and interest to such Patent Right and to permit Pfizer to file, prosecute and maintain, at its own discretion, such Patent Right, provided that Pfizer shall and does hereby grant to Servier (subject to any existing Third Party rights) a non-exclusive, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up worldwide license to practice and exploit such Patent Right for any and all purposes excluding (x) during the Term, uses for Licensed Products and Competing Products except as authorized under this Agreement, and (y) after the Term, uses for Licensed Products. For avoidance of doubt, prosecution as used in this section includes oppositions, nullity or revocation actions, post-grant reviews and other patent office proceedings involving the referenced Patent Rights.
12.2.2.3 Joint Patent Rights. In the event the Parties conceive or generate any Joint IP, the Parties will promptly meet to discuss and determine, based on mutual consent and as permitted under the Cellectis Agreements, whether to seek patent protection thereon and if patent applications are to be filed, the parties rights and responsibilities regarding filing, prosecution and enforcement.
Section 12.3 Liability. To the extent that a Party is obtaining, prosecuting or maintaining a Patent Right included in the Licensed Patents or otherwise exercising its rights under this section, such Party, and its Affiliates, employees, agents or representatives, will not be liable to the other Party in respect of any act, omission, default or neglect on the part of any such Party, or its Affiliates, employees, agents or representatives, in connection with such activities undertaken in good faith.
Section 12.4 Patent Term Extensions. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.4, and subject to cooperation with Cellectis under the Cellectis Agreements, Pfizer will have the sole right but not the obligation in the Pfizer Territory (or worldwide if the license granted to Pfizer pursuant to Section 2.1.1 becomes worldwide), and Servier will have the sole right but not the obligation in the Servier Territory, to apply for and obtain any patent term extension, supplementary protection certificates or similar extension of rights, for any Patent Right relating to

a relevant Licensed Product (including the choice of which Patent Right(s) to extend), provided that the controlling Party will consult with the other Party before applying for or obtaining any such extensions. The Parties will provide reasonable assistance to each other in connection with obtaining any such extensions including, to the extent reasonably and legally required in a particular country or region, making available a copy of the necessary documentation to enable the controlling Party to obtain the extension in such country. At the other Partys request, the controlling Party will seek (or will allow the other Party to seek) to extend an additional Patent Right for a relevant Licensed Product, unless in the controlling Partys reasonable legal determination such additional Patent Right may not be extended under Law without limiting the controlling Partys right to extend any other Patent Right in relation to the relevant Licensed Product or to extend the requested additional Patent Right in relation to another Licensed Product.
Section 12.5 Intellectual Property Litigation.
12.5.1 Notice and Cooperation. Each Party shall promptly notify the other, to the extent such Party becomes aware (i) of any suspected or threatened infringement of any Licensed Intellectual Property (including any patent certification filed in the United States under 21 U.S.C. §355(b)(2) or 21 U.S.C. §355(j)(2) or similar provisions in other jurisdictions or of any declaratory judgment, or similar action alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any Licensed Intellectual Property or any administrative challenge to any Intellectual Property under Chapters 31 and 32 of Title 35, USC or similar provisions in other jurisdictions alleging the unpatentability of any Intellectual Property), (ii) of any claim that the exercise of the rights granted hereunder under the Licensed Intellectual Property infringes any rights or patents of a Third Party, (iii) of any claims of alleged patent infringement by Pfizer or Servier with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Product and (iv) of any suspected or actual misappropriation of Licensed Know-How ((i) and (ii) together, Collaboration IP Claims, and (ii) and (iii) together, Third Party IP Claims).
12.5.2 Right to Assert Claims/Defend Claims in the Respective Territories.
12.5.2.1 Subject to the Cellectis Agreement, Pfizer may in its sole discretion, but shall not be required to, bring legal action against any Collaboration IP Claims in the Pfizer Territory (or worldwide if the license granted to Pfizer pursuant to Section 2.1.1 becomes worldwide), or defend against any Third Party IP Claims in the Pfizer Territory (or worldwide if the license granted to Pfizer pursuant to Section 2.1.1 becomes worldwide).
12.5.2.2 Subject to the Cellectis Agreement, Servier may in its sole discretion, but shall not be required to, bring legal action against any Collaboration IP Claims in the Servier Territory, or defend against any Third Party IP Claims in the Servier Territory.
12.5.2.3 Prior to bringing or defending a legal action pursuant to this Section 12.5.2, the Party responsible for taking action shall discuss its intention with the other Party and Cellectis to the extent required under the Cellectis Agreements as applicable (subject to the other Party entering into a common interest agreement if
61
CONFIDENTIAL
requested by the responsible Party, and without disclosing any information that would compromise attorney-client privilege or similar privileges), and shall take commercially reasonable efforts to consider the other Partys, and Cellectis to the extent required under the Cellectis Agreements as applicable, input in good faith. In the event the responsible Party brings or defends against any such action, it shall be at its own cost and expense, and, with respect to a Patent Right solely owned by the other Party, the responsible Party shall not without the other Partys consent take any action that would be reasonably likely to directly and adversely affect the scope, validity or enforceability of a corresponding Patent Right in the other Partys Territory. During the pendency of such action, at the other Partys request, the responsible Party shall provide the other Party, and Cellectis to the extent required under the Cellectis Agreements as applicable, 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 under this Section 12.5.2 shall be treated as the responsible Partys Confidential Information. In any action or defense initiated by the responsible Party under this Section 12.5.2, the other Party, and Cellectis to the extent required under the Cellectis Agreements as applicable, 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.
12.5.2.4 If Servier decides that it will not bring legal action or defend under Section 12.5.2.2 with respect to any Pfizer Intellectual Property or Pfizer decides that it will not bring legal action or defend under Section 12.5.2.1 with respect to any Servier Intellectual Property, then it shall promptly notify the other Party, and in any event, said notice shall be provided by the earlier of (A) [***] days from the date notice was provided pursuant to Section 12.5.1 and (B) [***] days before the time limit, if any, set forth in the appropriate Laws for the filing of such actions or defense. Upon receipt of such notice of intent to decline action, the other Party, subject to the Cellectis Agreements as applicable, may, but shall not be required to, bring legal action or defend against any claim identified in, as applicable, Section 12.5.1 or 12.5.2 with respect to Pfizer Intellectual Property in Servier Territory if the other Party is Pfizer, and with respect to Servier Intellectual Property in Pfizer Territory (or worldwide if the license granted to Pfizer pursuant to Section 2.1.1 becomes worldwide) if the other Party is Servier, in which event the other Party shall act in its own name and at its own cost and the provisions of Section 12.5.2.3 shall apply with respect to any such action.
12.5.3 Cooperation. When either Party is bringing or defending an action of the type described in this Section 12.5, then (i) upon request by a Party defending or enforcing any such action, the other Party will assist in the defense against or enforcement of such action at the other Partys 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 necessary documents as such Party may request, and (ii) neither Party shall settle, consent to judgment or
[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED
62
CONFIDENTIAL
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), does not impose any restrictions on the other Party and does not admit the invalidity or unenforceabil ity of any Patent Right owned or controlled by the other Party, and the consent of Cellectis to the extent required under the Cellectis Agreements as applicable.
12.5.4 Allocation of Proceeds.

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 ninety (90) days, 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.
