Such JJPRD license is not granted under any other type of claims within any Patent Right Controlled by JJPRD including, without limitation, process of making, method of use or pharmaceutical composition claims. Such license shall survive in perpetuity subject to any terms and conditions of this Agreement expressly providing for the termination of such license, including without limitation the provisions of Section 3.6.4. Subject to Section 3.3, such

 

8


license shall further include the right to grant sublicenses to Affiliates of Infinity and to Third Parties.

Section 3.3 Sublicense Rights . Wherever in this Agreement either Party is granted the right to grant sublicenses (including granting to sublicensees the right to grant further sublicenses for the purposes of having Library Compounds and JJPRD Analogs made) subject to this Section 3.3, such Party may exercise such right without obtaining the prior approval of the other Party, provided that such sublicense occurs pursuant to a written agreement that subjects such sublicensee to all relevant restrictions and limitations in this Agreement. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, each Party shall be jointly and severally responsible with its sublicensees to the other Party for failure by its sublicensees to comply with, and each Party guarantees the compliance by each of its sublicensees with, all such applicable restrictions and limitations in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 3.6 Library Compound Exclusivity Option .

3.6.1 Option.

(a) JJPRD shall have the right to exercise the Library Compound Exclusivity Option in accordance with this Section 3.6.1 with respect to each compound included in the Library Compound Pool. In the event that JJPRD desires to exercise the Library Compound Exclusivity Option with respect to a compound included in the Library Compound Pool, JJPRD shall give Infinity written notice of such desire which notice shall specify the compound with respect to which JJPRD desires to exercise the Library Compound Exclusivity Option.

(b) Within [**] Business Days after receiving JJPRD’s notice, Infinity shall notify JJPRD of whether, prior to the date of receipt of JJPRD’s notice, (i) [**] and [**], (ii) Infinity [**]including [**] and [**] and [**] directed to the same [**] requested by JJPRD and Infinity is [**] either [**] or [**] or (iii) Infinity has [**] that specifically claims the [**] requested by JJPRD and has [**] therefor. If any of the conditions described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence exist, then JJPRD shall not be permitted to exercise the Library Compound Exclusivity Option with respect to such compound included in the Library Compound Pool.
