All rights not expressly granted to Arcus under this Agreement are reserved to WuXi. Exercise or attempted exercise of the licensed rights granted in Section 2.1(i) by Arcus or its Affiliates in any Excluded Territory is a material breach of this Agreement. Arcus shall prohibit its sublicensees and subcontractors from exercising such licensed rights in the Excluded Territory, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enforce such prohibition. If Arcus or any of its Affiliates receives, or becomes aware of the receipt by a sublicensee or subcontractor of any orders for any Licensed Product for use in the Excluded Territory, Arcus shall notify WuXi thereof and shall procure that such recipient refers such orders to WuXi or WuXi’s designee.

All rights not expressly granted to WuXi under this Agreement are reserved to Arcus. Exercise or attempted exercise of the licensed rights granted in part # of this paragraph in any part of the Territory is a material breach of this Agreement.

Sublicensing and Subcontracting. Arcus may sublicense its rights under Section 2.1(i) and/or 2.1(ii) to the Licensed IP during the Term of this Agreement, provided that each such sublicense must be in writing and Arcus must provide a copy of each sublicense (and any sub-sublicense) agreement to WuXi within ​ days after execution of such sublicense, which copy may be redacted only to the extent not relevant to the determination of Arcus’ and any Affiliates’ or sublicensees’ compliance with its payment obligations under this Agreement.
