ARTICLE 3 – LICENSE BACK TO ICAGEN

3.1    License Back to Icagen under Patent Rights. Effective on the Effective
Date and contingent upon the Assignment, AGTC hereby grants to Icagen, under the
Patent Rights, and for the lives thereof, an exclusive (even as to AGTC),
perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable right and license for the
purpose of research, development, manufacture and commercialization of compounds
and products in the Icagen Field. All rights and licenses granted under this
Section 3.1 or pursuant to any section of this Agreement are, and shall
otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States
bankruptcy code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under
Section 101(35A) of such statute. Icagen shall retain and may fully exercise all
of its rights and elections under the bankruptcy code.

3.2    Icagen Inventions. In the event that at any time during the [**] year
period commencing on the Effective Date, Icagen discovers, creates, conceives or
reduces to practice any invention comprising an Improvement in the exercise of
the license granted pursuant to Section 3.1 above (“Covered Improvement”), each
such Covered Improvement shall be AGTC’s sole property and Icagen agrees to
assign, and hereby does assign to AGTC all right, title and interest in and to
such Covered Improvement. Icagen further agrees to take all such actions and
execute all such assignment and other documents as may be necessary or desirable
to effect or evidence such assignment and shall reasonably assist AGTC in filing
for and/or prosecuting any patent applications for such Covered Improvements.
Upon such assignment, the Covered Improvement shall be deemed part of the Patent
Rights for the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation, for the
purposes of the license grant pursuant to Section 3.1. To the extent that Icagen
discovers, creates, conceives or reduces to practice any invention comprising an
Improvement subsequent to the [**] year period commencing upon the Effective
Date, Icagen shall retain sole ownership of such Improvement, including all
intellectual property rights therein (“Icagen Improvements”), provided, however,
that Icagen (including any successor-in-interest to the license granted pursuant
to Section 3.1 above) shall not, directly or indirectly, institute, maintain or
prosecute, or voluntarily aid any third party in instituting, maintaining or
prosecuting, any legal or equitable action or proceeding against AGTC or any
sublicensee of the Patent Rights from AGTC based on infringement resulting from
its use or practice of any Icagen Improvements outside of the Icagen Field.

ARTICLE 4 – REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

the exclusive owner of the Patent Rights, (iii) the Patent Rights includes all
patents and patents applications owned in part or in whole by Icagen claiming
inventions specifically relating to the expression of the CNGB3 gene, and
(iv) it has not received any charge, complaint, claim, demand, or notice
alleging that any use of inventions claimed in the Patent Rights constitutes
infringement, misappropriation or violation of the intellectual property rights
of any third party.

4.2    AGTC’s Warranties. AGTC represents and warrants to Icagen that it has all
necessary corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
undertake its obligations hereunder.

Page 3 of 12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

ARTICLE 5 – PATENT PROSECUTION

5.1    Preparation and Prosecution. Commencing upon the Effective Date, AGTC
shall assume control of all patent prosecution and maintenance of the Patent
Rights, provided, however, AGTC will keep Icagen reasonably advised as to the
prosecution status of all Patent Rights by directing patent counsel to forward
to Icagen copies of all official communications from or to the PTO or other
governmental or patent office regarding the Patent Rights. Icagen shall have the
right to review all official correspondence and filings made by or on behalf of
AGTC with respect to such Patent Rights, including without limitation, Office
Action responses, prior to submission and AGTC agrees to reasonably consider
Icagen’s timely input with respect thereto. All information regarding the
filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights disclosed by AGTC to
Icagen shall constitute AGTC’s Confidential Information, and shall not be used
by Icagen other than for the research, development, manufacture and
commercialization of compounds or products in accordance with the license
granted to Icagen in Section 3.1 or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Article
8.

5.2    In the event that AGTC does not wish to continue to prosecute or maintain
any patent applications, claims included in the patent applications or patents
within the Patent Rights, then AGTC shall notify Icagen sufficiently prior to
abandoning any such patent applications, claims or patents to enable Icagen to
assume responsibility and control of the prosecution and maintenance of such
applications, claims or patents without any loss of rights, and Icagen shall
have the right to assume responsibility and control of the prosecution and
maintenance of such applications, claims or patents in AGTC’s name and at
Icagen’s sole expense.

5.3    Prior Patent Costs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Icagen shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses associated with
the filing, prosecution or maintenance of the Patent Rights accrued prior to the
Effective Date (it being understood that fees first due to patent offices
(excluding any applicable grace period) that do not become due until after the
Effective Date shall be deemed not to have accrued until after the Effective
Date). Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a current docket showing all prosecution,
registration or maintenance actions and fees that shall become due within sixty
(60) days following the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 6 – INFRINGEMENT

6.1     Each party agrees to promptly provide written notice to the other party
if such party becomes aware of any infringement of Patent Rights.

6.2    AGTC shall have the sole and exclusive right to undertake the enforcement
and/or defense of the Patent Rights outside of the Icagen Field in its sole
discretion and at its sole expense. Any recovery by AGTC in any such action
shall belong solely to AGTC

6.3    Icagen shall have the primary right, at its sole expense, to undertake
the enforcement of the Patent Rights against any infringement of the Patent
Rights in the Icagen Field, including without limitation, the right to settle
the infringement or misappropriation suit by sublicensing the Patent Rights the
alleged infringer (but only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement)
or by other means reasonably acceptable to Icagen. If Icagen undertakes
enforcement of the Patent Rights in the Icagen Field, any recovery by Icagen in
such action shall belong solely to Icagen.

 

Page 4 of 12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.4    If Icagen does not settle such activity (whether by granting a sublicense
in the Icagen Field or otherwise) or institute legal action against the
infringing activity in the Icagen Field within three (3) months of having been
given notice of the infringing activity and that one or more of the following
conditions relating to such infringing activity exists: (a) there is an
infringing commercial product on the market; (b) an infringing commercial
product is not yet on the market but an application for regulatory approval for
an infringing commercial product has been accepted for filing by the applicable
regulatory authority; or (c) the failure to enforce the Patent Rights with
respect to such infringing activity could reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the scope or validity of the Patent Rights or AGTC’s legal ability to
enforce the Patent Rights outside the Icagen Field, then AGTC shall have the
right, but shall not be obligated, to prosecute at its own expense any such
infringements of the Patent Rights in the Icagen Field. Any recovery by AGTC
shall belong solely to AGTC.

6.5    In any infringement suit instituted by either party to enforce the Patent
Rights, the other party shall, at the request and expense of the party
initiating such suit, cooperate in all reasonable respects (including by
agreeing to be joined as a party to such suit if necessary or desirable to bring
or maintain such suit or to establish damages in such suit) and, to the extent
reasonably possible, have its employees testify when requested and make
available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the
like.
