2.2Right to Sublicense.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Zai shall have the right to grant sublicenses of the License: (i) to its Affiliates, provided that (A) such sublicense shall automatically terminate if such sublicensee ceases to be an Affiliate of Zai, and (B) Zai’s right to grant sublicenses shall not apply to Affiliates who become Affiliates after the Effective Date as a result of any stock or asset acquisition involving Zai; and (ii) subject to Section 5.8 and NVCR’s prior written approval, to contract research organizations, distributors and other Third Party subcontractors for the sole purpose of, with respect to the License, performing Zai’s obligations with respect to the Development, and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for sublicenses of the License to its Affiliates in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(i), Zai shall obtain NVCR’s prior written consent if Zai wishes to sublicense any of Zai’s rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to any region within the Territory. Notwithstanding the grant of any sublicense hereunder, Zai shall remain liable for any breach or default of the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement by any of its sublicensees.

(b)Zai will not grant a sublicense to any sublicensee that has been debarred or disqualified by a Regulatory Authority.

EXHIBIT 10.15

The Parties shall assert and not waive the joint defense privilege with respect to any communications between the Parties in connection with the defense of such claim or assertion.

(b)Defense. In the event that a claim is brought against either Party alleging the infringement, violation or misappropriation of any Third Party intellectual property right based on the manufacture, use, sale or importation of the Licensed Products in the Field and in the Territory, the Parties shall promptly meet to discuss the defense of such claim, and the Parties shall, as appropriate, enter into a joint defense agreement with respect to the common interest privilege protecting communications regarding such claim in a form reasonably acceptable to the Parties.

13.5Product Trademarks. Subject to Section 8.4, the Parties agree to use the Optune Trademarks for marketing Licensed Products in the Territory and shall cooperate in good faith and jointly select other trademarks, logos, and trade names that conform with NVCR’s global branding strategies for marketing Licensed Products in the Territory (together with the Optune Trademarks, the “Product Marks”).

Zai further agrees to use the Product Marks in accordance with such brand usage guidelines and quality standards as may be reasonably established by NVCR and communicated to Zai from time to time in writing, or as may be agreed to by the Parties from time to time in writing. Zai shall submit to NVCR for approval, prior to their use, all product labels, product brochures, advertisements, and other materials and material changes thereto upon which Zai uses the Product Marks; provided that, (a) NVCR will approve or disapprove any such materials within [***] Business Days of Zai’s submission; provided that if NVCR fails to respond within such period of time, such materials will be deemed approved if they are consistent with NVCR’s brand usage guidelines; further provided NVCR shall use good faith to approve or disapprove such materials within a period of time specified by Zai if Zai requests NVCR to provide an expedited approval for certain materials, and (b) following NVCR’s approval in accordance with sub-clause (a), Zai will be free to use such materials without the necessity to obtain NVCR’s approval for any subsequent use as long as such materials are not substantially different from the materials approved by NVCR.

If Zai believes such material breach can be cured, and Zai provides to NVCR, within [***] days of NVCR’s notice to Zai, a statement of how such material breach can be cured, NVCR shall have [***] days from receipt of such statement to dispute such statement.
