(ii) [***]; and

(iii) the aim is to develop a Non-Protein Degradation Product.

In the event the Parties dispute whether a progressable target has been identified under the Programme, solely for the purposes of this Clause 5.2(b), the Parties shall first seek to resolve such dispute in accordance with Clause 32.2. In the event such dispute is not resolved in accordance with Clause 32.2, the Parties shall refer such dispute to an Expert for resolution in accordance with Clause 32.1.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Clause 5.2(c), in the event the conditions of Clause 5.2(b) are met, the ICR may elect to progress a Non-Degradation Program with respect to such ICR Internal Target, at its sole cost (as between the Parties). For clarity, in no event will any Non-Degradation Program include the aim of developing any Protein Degradation Product. All intellectual property rights developed in connection with such Non-Degradation Program shall by jointly owned by CRT and the ICR in equal and undivided shares, without regards to the inventorship thereof, excluding the ICR Internal Research Program Hits, which are subject to Clause 6.1. Each Party hereby assigns and agrees to assign such of its interest in and to such intellectual property rights as is necessary to effect such vesting.

(i) The ICR shall provide the JSC and the Company with a Progress Report with respect to each Non-Degradation Program at least once every [***]. Such Progress Report shall summarise in reasonable detail the results of the Non-Degradation Program during such period, unless agreed otherwise by the Parties.

(ii) As soon as reasonably practicable after the JSC determines that a Non-Degradation Program satisfies the Lead Series Criteria, the ICR shall provide written notice of the same to the Company, and within [***] of such notice deliver to the Company a Data Package with respect to such Non-Degradation Program. The Company shall have the right to request, whilst at all times acting reasonably, any additional information required to make such Data Package complete within [***] of such notice, and the ICR shall provide such requested information to the Company to the extent it is available within [***] of such request. Within [***] after receipt of each such complete Data Package, the Company will have the right to deliver written notice to the ICR and CRT of its interest in progressing such Non-Degradation Program by conducting research and development activities to develop and select a Pre-Clinical Candidate (and if mutually agreed, undertake phase I trial(s)) exclusively in collaboration with the ICR, with the allocation of such research and development activities between the ICR, the Company and appropriate third parties as mutually agreed, and the Company would have exclusive commercialization rights, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Clause 5.2( c)(ii) (each, a “Notice of Interest”) and, if the Company provides the Notice of Interest, the Parties shall promptly enter into good faith negotiations with respect to a definitive development and license agreement (including the grant by CRT and the ICR to the Company of rights to intellectual property rights developed in connection with such Non-Degradation Program) in accordance with the terms outlined in Clause 5.2(a)(ii), provided that (a) references to “Option A Program” shall be replaced by “Non-Degradation Program”, and (b) it is understood that the part of the intellectual property referred to in part (1) of such Clause 5.2(a)(ii) that is developed prior to the effective date of such definitive development and license agreement shall be jointly owned by CRT and the ICR only.

19.

(iii) If the Company does not provide a Notice of Interest with respect to a Non-Degradation Program within the applicable [***] period, then the ICR shall promptly provide written notice of the same, including the complete Data Package for such Non-Degradation Program, to Versant Ventures. Within [***] after delivery of such notice, Versant Ventures will have the right to deliver written notice to the ICR and CRT of its interest in such Non-Degradation Program and, if Versant Ventures delivers such notice, CRT, the ICR and Versant Ventures shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of such notice, enter into good faith arms-length negotiations with respect to a definitive development and license agreement among CRT, the ICR and a new company to be funded by Versant Ventures (including the grant by CRT and the IC to the such new company of rights to intellectual property rights developed in connection with such Non-Degradation Program) in accordance with the terms outlined in Clause 5.2(a)(ii), provided that (a) references to “Option A Program” shall be replaced by “Non-Degradation Program”, (b) references to “Company” shall mean such new company, and (c) it is understood that the part of the intellectual property referred to in part (1) of such Clause 5.2(a)(ii) that is developed prior to the effective date of such definitive development and license agreement shall be jointly owned by CRT and the ICR only.

(iv) If the Company does not provide a Notice of Interest with respect to a Non-Degradation Program in accordance with Clause 5.2(c)(ii) and Versant Ventures does not provide a written notice of its interest to the ICR with respect to such Non-Degradation Program in accordance with Clause 5.2(c)(iii), then the ICR shall have the right to continue pursuing such Non-Degradation Program at its sole cost (as between the Parties) and, subject to Clause 5.2(c)(v), the ICR and CRT shall be free to further discover, develop and commercialise such Non-Degradation Program (including by granting licences to any Third Parties) without any further obligation to Company. CRT and the ICR shall share with Company a percentage (%) of net revenues they receive from their commercialisation of such Non-Degradation Program, such percentage to be agreed between the Parties at or prior to the time of commercialisation to reflect the ICR’s initial use of the Compound Library.

20.

(v) In the event that CRT and/or the ICR has not entered into a commercial collaboration, partnership or licence with a Third Party in relation to a Non-Degradation Program that was not licensed to either the Company or Versant Ventures in accordance with Clause 5.2(c)(ii) or 5.2(c)(iii), as soon as reasonably practicable after the JSC determines that a pre-clinical development candidate identified under such Non-Degradation Program satisfies the Pre-Clinical Candidate Criteria; the ICR shall provide written notice of the same to the Company, and within [***] of such notice deliver to the Company a Data Package with respect to such Pre-Clinical Candidate. The Company shall have the right to request, whilst at all times acting reasonably, any additional information required to make such Data Package complete within [***] of such notice, the ICR shall provide such requested information to the Company to the extent it is available within [***] of such request. Within [***] after receipt of each such complete Data Package, the Company will have the right to deliver written notice to the ICR and CRT of its interest in such Pre- Clinical Candidate and, if the Company provides such notice, the Parties shall promptly enter into good faith negotiations with respect to the grant of rights by CRT and the ICR to the Company to such Pre-Clinical Candidate and related Non-Degradation Program in accordance with the terms outlined in Clause 5.2(a)(ii). If the Company does not provide such a notice with respect to a Non-Degradation Program in accordance with this Clause: (A) CRT and the ICR shall be entitled to further discover, develop and commercialise (including granting licences to any Third Parties) without any further obligation to Company; and (B) CRT and the ICR shall share with Company a percentage (%) of net revenues they receive from their commercialisation of such Non-Degradation Program, such percentage to be agreed between the Parties at or prior to the time of commercialisation to reflect the ICR’s initial use of the Compound Library.

5.3 The Company shall have no right to progress arty drug discovery program with respect to any target identified through the ICR Internal Research for the purposes of developing a product without the prior written approval of CRT and the ICR, except that the foregoing shall not limit or restrict the Company, directly or indirectly, from progressing any drug discovery program with respect to any target (i) that is identified as part of the Programme, (ii) that is part of any drug discovery program for which the Company has exercised its right to obtain rights to such program pursuant to Sections 5.2(a) or 5.2(c) and as permitted under the terms subsequently agreed in respect of such drug discovery program in accordance with those Clauses, or (iii) that is independently identified by or on behalf of the Company without the use of the CRT/ICR Existing Intellectual Property. In the event CRT and the ICR provide written approval for any drug discovery program that requires such approval under the preceding sentence independent of Clause 5.2(a), the Parties sha negotiate in good faith a definitive development agreement with respect to such drug discovery program on commercially reasonable and customary terms, which, for clarity, may include [***].

5.4 Subject to the rights and obligations set forth in this Clause 5 with respect to any target identified through the ICR Internal Research, nothing shall limit or restrict the ICR, CRT or CRUK, directly or indirectly, from progressing a drug discovery program outside of this Agreement with respect to any target (i) where such drug discovery program has been initiated prior to identification of such target under the Programme; or (ii) that is independently identified by or on behalf of the ICR, CRT, CRUK or a collaborative partner of any of them without the use of the Programme Intellectual Property or in breach of this Agreement. Nothing shall limit or restrict the Company, directly or indirectly, from progressing a drug discovery program outside of this Agreement with respect to any target that is independently identified by or on behalf of the Company or a collaborative partner of any of them without the use of the CRT/ICR Existing Intellectual Property, Programme Intellectual Property or, as applicable, Project Compound Intellectual Property or Project Non-Compound Intellectual Property, or in breach of this Agreement.

6.1 Subject to any licenses granted to CRT and/or the ICR hereunder, as among the Parties, all rights in and to the Programme Intellectual Property and ICR Internal Research Program Hits shall vest solely in the Company, without regards to the inventorship thereof. Each of CRT and the ICR hereby assigns to the Company (or if assignment is not permitted, waives enforcement of or grants to the Company an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicense under) all right, title and interest CRT and the ICR, as applicable, may have in and to Programme Intellectual Property and ICR Internal Research Program Hits arid shall cooperate fully, including by providing any reasonably necessary and suitably limited powers of attorney and assignments and executing all other papers and instruments, and requiring its employees and subcontractors, to execute such reasonably necessary and suitably limited powers of attorney and assignments and all other papers and instruments, to effectuate the ownership of the Company and to enable the Company to file, prosecute, defend and enforce any Patents in such Programme Intellectual Property in any country.

21.

6.2 All rights in and to the ICR Research Target IP shall vest jointly in CRT and the ICR and the Company in equal and undivided shares, without regards to the inventorship thereof. Each Party hereby assigns and agrees to assign such of its interest in and to the ICR Research Target IP (if any) as is necessary to effect such vesting.

6.3 Subject to any licences granted to the Company hereunder, as among the Parties, the CRT and the ICR shall retain all rights in, title to and ownership of CRT/ICR Background Library Intellectual Property.

7.1 The Company shall be entitled to grant sub-licences in respect of the rights granted under this Agreement, provided that no sub-licence shall be granted to a Tobacco Party. The grant of any sub-licence shall be without prejudice to the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. Any act or omission of any such Sub-Licensee which, if it were the act or omission of the Company would be a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, will be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company who will be liable to CRT and the ICR accordingly, unless the Company terminates such sub-licence or cures any such breach.

7.2 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the duration of the Services Term, the Company hereby grants to the ICR under the Programme Intellectual Property and its rights in the CRT/ICR Existing Intellectual Property (it being agreed that such grant with respect to the CRT/ICR Existing Intellectual Property is not subject to the obligations relating to sub-licenses under Clause 2.2 of the License Agreement), a non-exclusive, fully paid- up, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable (other than to Third Party Service Providers) license, solely for the ICR’s performance of its allotted tasks under the Programme. The grant of any sub-licence by the ICR to any Third Party Service Provider shall be without prejudice to the ICR’s obligations under this Agreement. Any act or omission of any such Third Party Service Provider which, if it were the act or omission of the ICR would be a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, will be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the ICR who will be liable to the Company accordingly, unless the ICR terminates such sub-licence to such Third Party Service Provider or cures any such breach.

22.

7.3 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the ICR a non-exclusive, fully paid-up, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable license to screen any Compound Library and to use the ICR Internal Research Program Hits (if applicable), and its rights in the ICR Research Target IP (including for the avoidance of doubt, the identity of the ICR Internal Targets as the biological target(s) of an ICR Internal Research Program Hit(s)) solely for the ICR’s performance of the ICR Internal Research (which in the case of the ICR Internal Research Program Hits will solely be for the purpose of the ICR Internal Research up to the point of notification to the JSC pursuant to Clause 5.2), or clarity, the ICR shall (a) not practice such license prior to the [***] of the Effective Date, and (b) practice such license only in accordance with Clause 5.

7.5 CRT and/or the ICR shall not use or deal with the Programme Intellectual Property except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

7.6 The Parties acknowledge that the CTU may conduct screening of the CRT/ICR Background Library pursuant to the Programme and that any CRT/ICR Background Hit Compounds may be encumbered by Third Party rights. The Parties further acknowledge that any particular compound identified by the CTU for inclusion in the Compound Library during the assembly of the Compound Library (and not as result of screening of, or utilizing, the CRT/ICR Background Library pursuant to the Programme) may also be a member of the CRT/ICR Background Library as of the date such compound was or is identified by the CTU for inclusion in the Compound Library (each, a “Duplicate Compound”). CRT and the ICR shall promptly notify the Company in the event any Duplicate Compound is identified after the Effective Date. Each CRT/ICR Background Hit Compound (including those that are deemed a Duplicate Compound) shall be subject to appropriate internal encumbrance checks by the ICR to determine whether there are any Third Party encumbrances which may prevent or limit use of such CRT/ICR Background Hit Compounds within the Programme.

23.

(a) Except in the case of Duplicate Compounds (which are addressed in Clause 7.6(b)), in the event that a CRT/ICR Background Hit Compound is subject to a Third Party encumbrance, CRT and the ICR shall promptly notify the Company, which notice shall describe such encumbrance and include reasonable evidence supporting the existence and description of such encumbrance (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by any confidentiality obligations of CRT and the ICR), and such CRT/ICR Background Hit Compound shall not be available to the Programme. To the extent not prohibited by a Third Party encumbrance existing as of the date that any such CRT/ICR Background Hit Compound has been identified: (i) the ICR shall disclose the structure of each such CRT/ICR Background Hit Compound (each an “Unencumbered CRT/ICR Background Hit Compound”) to the Company; (ii) CRT and the ICR each hereby grants to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual (subject to Clause 8.5 and 20.2), non-exclusive, worldwide licence, with the right to grant sub-licences through multiple tiers, under all of CRT’s and the ICR’s respective rights in and to the CRT/ICR Background Library Intellectual Property covering such Unencumbered CRT/ICR Background Hit Compound to research, develop, have developed, use, keep, make, have made, market, import, offer for sale, sell and otherwise dispose of Protein Degradation Products in the Field. The ICR and CRT (in each case to the extent applicable to such Party’s activities on behalf of the CTU only) shall not commercialise, or enter into an agreement after the Effective Date to enable any Third Party to commercialise, any of the Unencumbered CRT/ICR Background Hit Compounds whose primary mode of action is as a CRBN-binder. For the avoidance of doubt, the commercialisation of [***] shall be permitted. For the avoidance of doubt, no chemical structure disclosure or any other compound identifier disclosure shall be made by the ICR to the Company in relation to any CRT/ICR Background Hit Compounds that are not Unencumbered CRT/ICR Background Hit Compounds.

(b) In the case of each Duplicate Compound, in the event that the CRT/ICR Background Hit Compound is subject to a Third Party encumbrance (provided that, the CTU registers such Duplicate Compound made or acquired by the CTU for inclusion of such compound in the Compound Library during the assembly of the Compound Library on the CTU’s CRBN project entry under CRT’s internal compound database, and upon registration identifies that such encumbrance was in place prior to: (i) in the case of such Duplicate Compound being synthesized internally by the CTU, the date of completion of such Duplicate Compound synthesis (being such Duplicate Compound isolated and characterized to prove it has the correct identity and purity, as recorded in the CTU’s electronic lab notebook); or (ii) in the case of such Duplicate Compound being synthesized externally by a Third Party on the CTU’s behalf, or purchased by the CTU from an external supplier, the date at which such Duplicate Compound is received at the ICR as recorded in the goods received record (in each case, the date described in clause (i) or (ii), the “Encumbrance Date”)), CRT and the ICR shall promptly notify the Company, which notice shall describe such encumbrance and include reasonable evidence supporting the existence and description of such encumbrance (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by any confidentiality obligations of CRT and the ICR), and such CRT/ICR Background Hit Compound shall no longer be deemed a Programme Compound and shall not be available to the Programme. In the event that CRT and the ICR notify the Company that there is a possibility of such encumbrance being worked around such that a particular encumbered CRT/ICR Background Hit Compound might be available to work on under the Programme under certain conditions, the Parties shall discuss at the time and may agree the terms and conditions under which such CRT/ICR Background Hit Compound may be made available to work on under the Programme ([***]). To the extent not prohibited by a Third Party encumbrance existing as of the Encumbrance Date upon registering such Duplicate Compound in accordance with the CTU procedures described above: (i) subject to clause (ii), such Duplicate Compound shall remain a Programme Compound; and (ii) such Duplicate Compound shall also remain a part of any CRT/ICR Background Library and available for CRT and the ICR to use for any purpose, provided that the ICR and CRT (in each case to the extent applicable to such Party’s activities on behalf of the CTU only) shall not commercialise, or enter into any agreement after the Effective Date to enable any Third Party to commercialise, any of such Duplicate Compounds whose primary mode of action is as a CRBN-binder. For the avoidance of doubt, the commercialisation by ICR and CRT of a Duplicate Compound that is directed against a target other than CRBN binding and has only residual or minimal binding to CRBN such that such residual or minimal binding is not necessarily required for its main therapeutic activity and/or has not been pursued in development shall be permitted.
