17.15

Bankruptcy.

(a)

Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted by Senomyx to Firmenich under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code and other similar laws in any jurisdiction outside the US (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under the Bankruptcy Code. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against Senomyx under Bankruptcy Code then, unless and until this Agreement is rejected as provided in such Bankruptcy Code, Senomyx (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a trustee) shall perform all of the obligations provided in this Agreement to be performed by Senomyx. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against Senomyx under the Bankruptcy Code, this Agreement is rejected as provided in the Bankruptcy Code, and Firmenich elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in the Bankruptcy Code, then Senomyx (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee), shall provide to Firmenich copies of all information necessary for Firmenich to prosecute, maintain and enjoy its rights under the terms of this Agreement promptly upon Firmenich’s written request therefor. All rights, powers and remedies of Firmenich as provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Code) in the event of the commencement of a case by or against Senomyx under the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)

Rejection. To the extent Senomyx rejects this Agreement under the Bankruptcy Code and Firmenich elects to retain its rights, (x) Firmenich shall have the full rights provided to it under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code; (y) the waivers under Section 365(n)(2)(C) shall apply only to rights of setoff and administrative claims arising solely out of this Agreement, and not to any other agreements or instruments, including, without limitation, claims or rights arising out of agreements supplementary to this Agreement; and (z) Senomyx shall, without need for notice or

***Confidential Treatment Requested

hearing, provide to Firmenich any intellectual property (including such embodiment) held by Senomyx and/or any other entity or person, and shall not interfere with the rights of Firmenich as provided in this Agreement, or any agreement supplementary to this Agreement, to such intellectual property (including such embodiment) including any right to obtain such intellectual property (and such embodiment) from another entity or person.

(c) General. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “embodiment” shall mean any and all materials required to be delivered by Senomyx to Firmenich hereunder and any materials relating to the licenses granted hereunder which, in the course of dealing between the Parties under this Agreement, are customarily delivered, in whatever format (whether electronic, written or otherwise). All written agreements entered into relating to and in connection with the Parties’ performance hereunder from time-to-time, shall be considered agreements “supplementary” to this Agreement for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. Senomyx acknowledges and agrees that the rights of Firmenich to such intellectual property (and such embodiments) are unique, and that to the extent Senomyx, or their respective trustees in bankruptcy, were to sell any portion of such intellectual property free and clear of liens, claims or interests, Firmenich would suffer irreparable damages, such that Senomyx agrees that such sale shall not occur without Firmenich’s express written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, “intellectual property,” as used in this Section 17.15, is limited to intellectual property included in the Senomyx Technology, and any tangible embodiments of such intellectual property, and includes all such intellectual property and tangible embodiments of such intellectual property.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, through their authorized officers, have executed this Agreement as of the February 7, 2018.
