Subject to Section 3.4 below, should the Parties not enter into a clinical combination agreement despite the use of good faith reasonable best efforts to agree on such terms, then the [***] Phase I Clinical Trial or Phase Ib Clinical Trial and/or the [***] Phase I Clinical Trial or Phase Ib Clinical Trial could be as a monotherapy or combination with another therapeutic agent. Immunocore may amend the Development Plans from time to time at its discretion. At least [***] Immunocore shall provide GNE with a copy of each Development Plan and any amendments made by it to either Development Plan. Immunocore shall be responsible for IND filings and other regulatory filings.

 

3.3       Immunocore’s Obligations. Subject to Section 4.3, Immunocore shall have sole responsibility for and will use its Diligent Efforts to carry out at its own expense the development of the Compounds as described in each of the Development Plans and shall have full authority to design the CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls) and clinical plans including but not limited to the selection of any relevant combination agents that may be used in the development of the Compounds. Following completion of each Development Plan, if Immunocore decides to continue the development of the relevant Compound either alone or with a Third Party, all future development decisions may be made by Immunocore in its absolute discretion without reference to GNE.

 

3.4       Combination Trials. GNE and Immunocore acknowledge and agree that they intend to enter into a separate written agreement, under which they will conduct a clinical combination trial with [***], the terms of which shall be negotiated in good faith using reasonable best efforts between GNE and Immunocore. Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 3.2 and 3.3, any agreement under which the Parties shall conduct a clinical combination trial with ([***], shall be conducted under, and subject to, the terms of a separate written agreement between the Parties (the Combo Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, the supply of any materials between the Parties, and any intellectual property, data and or materials generated under such clinical combination trial shall be governed by the terms of the Combo Agreement. In the event that there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Combo Agreement, the terms of the Combo Agreement shall prevail with respect to the subject matter thereof.

14.2.1       Rules. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including under Section 1 4.3), the Parties agree that any Dispute not resolved internally by the Parties pursuant to Section 14.1 shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted by the International Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the then prevailing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (for purposes of this Article 14, the “Rules”), except as modified in this Agreement, applying the substantive law specified in Sections 15.1.

 

14.2.2       Arbitrators; Location. Each Party shall select one (1) arbitrator, and the two (2) arbitrators so selected shall choose a third arbitrator.

In any event, at least one (1) arbitrator shall satisfy the foregoing experience requirement under Section (b). If a Party fails to nominate its arbitrator, or . if the Parties’ arbitrators cannot agree on the third, the necessary appointments shall be made in accordance with the Rules. Once appointed by a Party, such Party shall have no ex parte communication with its appointed arbitrator. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in London, England. The arbitration proceedings and all pleadings and written evidence shall be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in another language shall be translated into English and accompanied by the original or a true copy thereof.

 

14.2.3       Procedures; Awards. Each Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to make all of its current employees available, if reasonably needed, and agrees that the arbitrators may determine any person as necessary. The arbitrators shall be instructed and required to render a written, binding, non-appealable resolution and award on each issue that clearly states the basis upon which such resolution and award is made. The written resolution and award shall be delivered to the Parties as expeditiously as possible, but in no event more than [***] after conclusion of the hearing, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Judgment upon such award may be entered in any competent court or application may be made to any competent court for judicial acceptance of such an award and order for enforcement. Each Party agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of Applicable Law or of this Agreement, it will not request, and the arbitrators shall have no authority to award, punitive or exemplary damages against any Party.

prevailed upon, in comparison to the total scope of the claims at issue.

14.2.5       Interim Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.2, in the event that a Party reasonably requires relief on a more expedited basis than would be possible pursuant to the procedure set forth in this Article 14, such Party may seek a temporary injunction or other interim equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction pending the ability of the arbitrators to review the decision under this Section 14.2. Such court shall have no jurisdiction or ability to resolve Disputes beyond the specific issue of temporary injunction or other interim equitable relief.

 

14.2.6       Protective Orders; Arbitrability.
