Licensee Data. Licensee, at no cost to Axsome, shall provide Axsome with any and all data obtained from any of the research activities that were conducted, pursuant to either of Sections 3.3.1 or 3.3.2, by, on behalf of or under the direction of Licensee or its Affiliates (“Licensee Data”). Licensee shall grant Axsome a right and license to use (including the right to provide access to and to license or sublicense to Third Parties, including Axsome’s Upstream Licensors) such Licensee Data in support of the Development for use or Commercialization of Licensed Products and to otherwise support the Commercialization of products containing the Licensed Compound for use outside the Territory. Licensee acknowledges that Axsome and its Upstream Licensors shall retain all right, but have no obligation, to conduct clinical trials, both outside and within the Territory, of any products containing any Licensed Compound for purposes of seeking Regulatory Approval of and Commercializing such products solely outside of the Territory, including seeking approval of additional indications for such products. Upon Licensee’s request, and solely to the extent necessary for Licensee to obtain Regulatory Approval of Licensed Products for use in such additional indications, Axsome shall provide Licensee access to and a right to use any data arising out of the aforementioned clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of Axsome.
Licensee Enforcement. In the event that either Licensee or Merck becomes aware of any alleged or threatened commercially material infringement in a country in the Territory of any issued patent within the Compound Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, it will notify the other Party in writing to that effect. Licensee shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to enforce any such Compound Patent Right or Joint Patent Right against any such infringer or alleged infringer, at its own expense, and control, and litigate and settle, such suit as set forth herein. Merck shall reasonably cooperate in any such suit at Licensees expense; and where necessary, Merck shall join in, or be named as a necessary party to, such suit. Licensee shall not enter into any settlement of any claim described in this Section 8.04(a) that, in the reasonable judgment of Merck would violate any law or regulation, admits to the invalidity or unenforceability of the Compound Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, incurs any financial liability on the part of Merck, requires an admission of liability, wrongdoing, or fault on the party of Merck, without Mercks prior written consent (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Merck shall have the right, prior to commencement of the trial, suit or action brought by Licensee, to join any such suit or action, and in such event shall pay one-half of the costs of such suit or action.

Licensee will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Axsome, each of its Affiliates, and each of its and its Affiliates’ employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a “Axsome Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and cost (collectively, a “Liability”) that the Axsome Indemnified Party may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties resulting from or arising out of:

In the event of such termination, the rights and obligations hereunder shall terminate; provided, however, that any payment obligations due and owing as of the termination date shall continue.

If the Third Party succeeding to Licensees rights and obligations under this Agreement decides it will not continue the Development and/or Commercialization of the Licensed Product, then Merck shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon days written notice to Licensee, without any opportunity to cure.
