due on, October 4, 2010, and on every anniversary thereof thereafter, VAXIN
shall pay CRUCELL a minimum royalty of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000),
subject to Section 5.3.

 

4.2 The minimum royalties are not creditable against any other fee owed under
this Agreement, except that in each year earned royalties become due the minimum
royalty payments with respect to such year may be credited against the earned
royalties owed in that year.

 

4.3 Earned Royalties. As a consideration for the license granted by CRUCELL to
VAXIN in Sections 2.1, VAXIN agrees to pay to CRUCELL royalties on the total NET
SALES of VACCINE in the FIELD for the longer of a period of fifteen (15) years
following the FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE of VACCINE in the FIELD, or the last to
expire PER.C6® PATENT covering the manufacture, use, sale or importation of
VACCINE in the FIELD, calculated on a country-by-country basis (hereinafter the
“ROYALTY TERM”), at the rate(s) set forth below.

 

4.3.1 During the ROYALTY TERM, if any acts of making, using or selling or
offering for sale of a VACCINE occurs in a country in which a VALID CLAIM of a
PER.C6® PATENT covers such act, then the royalty rate is [****] percent
([****]%) of total NET SALES.

 

4.3.2 Royalty Reduction on CRUCELL PATENT Expiration. If PER.C6® KNOW HOW is
used in the use, manufacture or sale of VACCINE in the FIELD in any country, and
if the use, manufacture or sale of VACCINE in the FIELD in such country would
not infringe, absent this Agreement, a VALID CLAIM of a PER.C6® PATENT in such
country, the royalty rate will be [****] percent ([****]%) of total NET SALES.

 

4.3.3 Royalty Stacking Reduction. If VAXIN is obligated to pay an accumulated
royalty rate to all its licensors in a country of more than [****] percent
([****]%) of NET SALES of VACCINE in the FIELD, which NET SALES are also subject
to a royalty obligation under Section 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 hereunder, then the royalty
rate of Sections 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 may be reduced by subtracting from such royalty
rate used to calculate CRUCELL owed royalties [****] of such accumulated third
party royalty rate obligation exceeding [****] percent ([****]%), provided that
such reduction does not reduce the royalty rate pursuant to Section 4.2.1 or
4.2.2 by more than [****] percent ([****]%) thereof, or to less than [****]
percent ([****]%) or [****] percent ([****]%) respectively.

 

4.4 One royalty shall be due with respect to the sale of the same unit of
VACCINE in the FIELD.

 

4.5 VAXIN Obligations. VAXIN shall be solely responsible for the payment of any

shall be adjusted on a year to year basis in accordance with increases in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) U.S. Cities Average for All Urban Consumers, as
published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. For
avoidance of doubt, an amount due in any year shall be adjusted upwards by a
factor calculated by comparing the CPI for the year in which the payment is due
with the CPI for the previous year, as further described in the formula
NP=(1+(NCPI/100 - BCPI/100)) x BP, wherein NP is the new payment amount, NCPI is
the new CPI, BCPI is the CPI for the previous year, and BP was the base payment
amount of the previous year, provided that in any given year, such increase

5.5 No Refunds. Payments referred to herein shall not be refundable under any
circumstances, including but not limited to the termination of this Agreement
for whatever reason.

 

5.6 Currency Conversion. If any currency conversion shall be required in
connection with the calculation of royalties hereunder, such conversion shall be
made using the following procedures. The rate of currency conversion shall be
calculated using a simple monthly period average of the end “spot rates”
provided by Brown Brothers Harriman, 59 Wall Street, NY, NY 10005, for each
quarter, or if such rate is not available, the spot rate as published by a
leading United States commercial bank for such accounting period.

 

5.7 Taxes. CRUCELL shall pay any and all taxes required by law that are levied
on account of royalties or other payments it receives under this Agreement. If
laws or regulations require that taxes be withheld, VAXIN will (a) deduct those

  amounts payable under this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept at
the principal place of business of such party or its AFFILIATE, as the case may
be, for at least three (3) years following the end of the calendar quarter to
which they pertain. Such records will be open for inspection during such three
(3) year period by an independent public accounting firm of national prominence
retained by the other party for the purpose of verifying the royalty statements.
Such inspections may be made no more than once each calendar year, at reasonable
times mutually agreed by VAXIN and CRUCELL. The auditing party’s representative
or agent will be obliged to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior
to commencing any such inspection. Inspections conducted under this Section
shall be at the expense of the auditing party, unless a variation or error
producing an increase exceeding ten percent (10%) of the amount stated for any
period covered by the inspection is established in the course of any such
inspection, whereupon all costs relating to the inspection for such period will
be paid the party being audited. Any amounts determined to be paid or reimbursed
by a party under this Section 5.9 shall be paid promptly within thirty (30) days
after completion of such audit.

performance and technical data respecting PER.C6® CELLS used to manufacture
VACCINE in the FIELD, which VACCINE VAXIN has developed in the VACCINE PROGRAM.
VAXIN shall provide CRUCELL on an annual basis within thirty (30) days after the
anniversary of the EFFECTIVE DATE, with a summary report of the data relating
specifically to PER.C6® CELL performance, including specifically any and all
substantial positive and/or negative deviations from the standard established
operating, culturing and manufacturing parameters found useful in its
application of PER.C6® CELLS for the manufacture of VACCINE in the FIELD. VAXIN
shall promptly notify CRUCELL in writing of any substantial negative deviations
from established PER.C6® CELL characteristics and/or performance parameters
included in PER.C6® KNOW HOW prior to its notification of any other third party
entity other than to the appropriate regulatory authorities, such as the FDA. To
facilitate the mutually beneficial resolution of any PER.C6® CELL technical
performance issue

 

12.

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

Confidential Treatment Requested

 

  relating to such a substantial negative deviation, VAXIN hereby agrees to
permit CRUCELL’s technical personnel reasonable access to relevant technical
data to assist in resolving such issues.

 

7.3.1 Information reported to CRUCELL pursuant to Section 7.3 may be used by
CRUCELL to amend and/or annotate its collection of PER.C6® KNOW HOW for delivery
to such CRUCELL licensees to whom CRUCELL is permitted to sublicense the license
granted under Section 2.2, which PER.C6® KNOW HOW shall only be disclosed under
conditions of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those contained herein
and in no case under conditions demonstrating less than reasonable care. CRUCELL
shall not disclose to any licensee any technical information specifically
relating to VACCINE or VIRAL PARTICLES in the FIELD that is developed by VAXIN
or its REGISTERED AFFILIATES.

 

7.4 PER.C6® Biological Master File: VAXIN acknowledges that the PER.C6® Cell
Biological Master File (“BMF”), which is filed with the FDA, which is owned by
CRUCELL, and which may be filed with other foreign governmental equivalents
thereof (“Governmental Authorities”) is of crucial importance to the Parties as
well as to all other licensees of PER.C6® Cell technology. VAXIN shall have the
right to review CRUCELL’s copy of the BMF filed with the FDA and other
Governmental Authorities after providing CRUCELL with thirty (30) days prior
notice (or such shorter time as required by the FDA). VAXIN shall have the right
to cross-reference the BMF as may be required for any regulatory submissions to
Governmental Authorities. CRUCELL shall provide VAXIN with any and all existing
BMF documentation in the possession of CRUCELL relating to PER.C6® Cells as
required to support any regulatory submission VAXIN makes to a Governmental
Authority in a country where a BMF or its foreign equivalent has not been
submitted or is not in effect. VAXIN may request, in writing no more than once a

BMF. CRUCELL shall provide VAXIN with an abstract of such amendments within
thirty days of receipt of such written request.

 

7.4.1 VAXIN shall not be entitled to, and agree that they will not characterize,
issue Releases or Certificates of Analysis for, or analyze the genome of any
PER.C6® Cells, or engage in any research of PER.C6® Cells that concern any
safety, toxicity or tumorigenicity of PER.C6® Cells without obtaining the prior
written agreement of CRUCELL, the holder of the BMF, provided that, if any
Governmental Authority requests additional data or characterization of PER.C6®
Cells that CRUCELL chooses not to provide, VAXIN shall have the right to perform
its own studies solely as required by the Governmental Authority, and to provide
the results to the requesting Governmental Authority.

 

7.4.2 VAXIN further agrees to use its reasonable efforts to promptly notify
CRUCELL of any and all communications to and from Governmental Authorities
relating to the safety of PER.C6® Cells, and agrees to consult promptly with
CRUCELL to resolve any such concerns with the FDA or such other Governmental
Authorities. Noncompliance by VAXIN with the obligation to use its reasonable
efforts to promptly notify and consult with CRUCELL in its efforts to resolve
any such issues with the FDA or other Governmental Authorities shall be
considered to constitute a failure to comply with a material condition or
covenant of this Agreement.

 

13.

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

Confidential Treatment Requested

 

7.4.3 CRUCELL shall exert its reasonable efforts to notify VAXIN of any material
safety issues concerning the PER.C6® CELLS, which issues are raised by the FDA
(or any other Governmental Authorities) or any other regulatory or
quality-related information that could adversely affect VACCINE registrations or
regulatory approvals, or impact materially clinical trials or commercialization
of VACCINE.

 

8 CONFIDENTIALITY

 

8.1 All documents, materials and know-how which may be furnished by the
disclosing party hereto (the “Disclosing Party”) to the receiving Party hereto
(the “Recipient”) pursuant to this Agreement shall be if suitably marked or
designated in tangible form, deemed the Disclosing Party’s “Proprietary
Information” and, therefore, considered confidential information of the
Disclosing Party, and shall not be used by Recipient other than for the purposes
licensed under this Agreement and for the exercise of the Recipient’s rights
under this Agreement. Recipient shall use the same degree of care regarding
Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information as it uses in protecting and
preserving its own proprietary/confidential information of like kind to avoid
disclosure or dissemination thereof, but no less than a reasonable degree of
care. Information which is disclosed orally or otherwise than in tangible form
shall be considered Proprietary Information if: (a) the information is
identified as confidential at the time of disclosure and a written summary is
provided to the Recipient within twenty (20) days thereafter, or (b) the
information is identified as confidential in writing and provided to the
Recipient prior to or at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party.

 

8.2 This confidentiality obligation shall not apply to information if the
information: (a) is publicly known or which the Recipient has documentary
records which establish such information was known to it (other than by a breach
of a confidentiality obligation with respect thereto) prior to this disclosure
by the Disclosing Party; (b) subsequently becomes publicly known and/or
published through no fault of the Recipient; (c) is independently developed
without use or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information;
(d) is required by operation of law to be disclosed; or (e) is or was brought to
the Recipient’s attention by a third party who has a legal right to do so.

 

8.3 Notwithstanding Sections 8.1 and 8.2, the Recipient may disclose Proprietary
Information of the other Party to the extent (a) required by law, rule,
regulation or court order; (b) as necessary in connection with obtaining
regulatory approval of products; and (c) to potential or actual investors or
corporate partners, provided that as to disclosures under Section 8.3(a) and
(b), such disclosure is made to the extent required for such purpose and that
the Recipient makes reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of such
disclosure where available; and further provided that as to disclosures under
Section 8.3(c), that such persons do not receive confidential PER.C6® KNOW HOW
provided to VAXIN by CRUCELL and are bound by obligations of confidentiality and
restrictions on use of such information substantially similar to those provided
in this Article 8.

 

9 PUBLICATIONS AND PUBLICITY

 

9.1

Publicity: Except as required by applicable law or regulation, neither Party
shall use the name, associated tradenames and/or trademarks of the other Party
in any publicity or advertising without the prior written approval of the other
Party, except

Confidential Treatment Requested

 

  that either Party may disclose the existence of the Agreement or make
disclosures required by government authorities or rules of a securities
exchange. Each Party agrees not to disclose any terms or conditions of this
Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of the other
Party, except as required by applicable law or to persons with whom VAXIN or
CRUCELL has entered into or proposes to enter into a business relationship
related to the subject matter hereof and provided that such persons are subject
to appropriate confidentiality agreements.

 

9.2 Press Releases: CRUCELL shall have the right to publish the existence of
this agreement, and any subsequent related agreements, provided VAXIN has an
opportunity to review press releases for at least five (5) working days prior to
public disclosure. VAXIN shall have the right to publish the existence of this
Agreement limited to the recombinant adenoviral vaccine against certain
respiratory viruses, including Respiratory Syncytial Virus, and of any
subsequent related agreements, upon written approval of CRUCELL, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. VAXIN may issue subsequent press releases
respecting its influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus vaccine programs,
provided that press releases relating to the influenza vaccine program must
characterize such vaccine as being a recombinant adenoviral vaccine against
influenza if the press release also discloses that such vaccine is made using
PER.C6® Technology, in a manner of disclosure that CRUCELL has previously
approved.

 

10 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

10.1 Defense of Third Party Infringement Claims.

 

10.1.1 Infringement Claims. If the production, sale or use of any VACCINE in the
FIELD developed pursuant to this Agreement results in a claim, suit or
proceeding alleging patent infringement against VAXIN or CRUCELL (or their
respective AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES), such party shall promptly notify the
other party hereto in writing setting forth the facts of such claim in
reasonable detail. The party subject to such claim shall have the exclusive
right to defend and control the defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding,
at its own expense, using counsel of its own choice, provided, however, it shall
not enter into any settlement which admits or concedes that any aspect of the
PATENT or KNOW HOW of the other Party hereto is invalid or unenforceable or
otherwise materially adversely affects the other Party, without the prior
written consent of such other Party. Such Party shall keep the other Party
hereto reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any
such claim, suit or proceeding.

 

10.2 Enforcement.

 

10.2.1 Notification. In the event that a Party obtains actual knowledge that a
third party is infringing one or more of the PER.C6® PATENTS in the field of
VACCINE in the FIELD, it shall promptly notify the other Party of any such
infringement.

 

10.2.2 Control of Suit:

 

10.2.2.1

As to the infringement of solely owned PER.C6® PATENTS, CRUCELL shall have the
exclusive right and sole discretion to effect termination of such infringement,
including bringing suit or other proceedings against the infringer in

 

15.

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

Confidential Treatment Requested

 

  its own name and VAXIN shall be kept informed at all times of all such
proceedings taken by CRUCELL but only so as far as the PER.C6® PATENT in suit
relates to a VACCINE in the FIELD. If CRUCELL requests, VAXIN may, at VAXIN’s
discretion, join with CRUCELL as a party to the lawsuit or other proceeding at
CRUCELL’ expense; however, CRUCELL shall retain control of the prosecution of
such suit or proceedings, as the case may be.

 

10.2.3 Costs and Monetary Recovery: Except as expressly provided to the
contrary, each Party shall bear all its costs incurred in connection with such
lawsuit or other proceeding, and consequently shall be entitled to collect and
retain for its own account any damages or profits as may be accrued as a result
of such lawsuit or other proceeding.

 

10.3 Disclaimer. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as obligating
either Party, or giving the VAXIN the right, to proceed against a third party
infringer.

 

10.4 Patent Term Extensions. CRUCELL hereby authorizes VAXIN to (a) provide in
any BLA a list of patents that include PER.C6® PATENTS that relate to such
VACCINE in the FIELD and such other information, as VAXIN deems appropriate. In
the event that any applicable law in any country, including the United States,
allows for the extension of any term of any patent included among PER.C6®
PATENTS, if VAXIN so requests, CRUCELL shall apply for and use its reasonable
efforts to obtain such an extension, or should the law require VAXIN to so
apply, CRUCELL shall cooperate with VAXIN to do so. VAXIN and CRUCELL shall
cooperate with one another in obtaining any such extensions. CRUCELL agrees to
execute such documents, or to arrange to have such documents executed, and take
such actions as VAXIN may reasonably request in connection herewith.

 

11 WARRANTIES, INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

 

11.1 Warranties.

 

11.1.1 Each Party warrants and represents to the other that (i) it has the full
right and authority to enter into this Agreement and grant the rights and
licenses granted herein; and (ii) it has not previously granted and will not
grant any rights in conflict with the rights and licenses granted herein.

 

11.1.2 CRUCELL warrants and represents to VAXIN that (i) except for certain
European Opposition proceedings involving PER.C6® PATENTS, there are no existing
or threatened actions, suits or claims pending against it with respect to
PER.C6® TECHNOLOGY or its right to enter into and perform its obligations under
this Agreement, (ii) it has not previously granted, and will not grant during
the term of this Agreement, any right, license or interest in or to the PER.C6®
TECHNOLOGY, or any portion thereof, to manufacture, sell or use a VACCINE that
is in conflict with the rights or licenses granted under this Agreement, and
(iii) the PER.C6® CELLS that CRUCELL provides pursuant to this Agreement shall
conform to relevant specifications therefor as provided in Exhibit 1.14.

11.2 CRUCELL Disclaimer. UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, CRUCELL DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
MERCHANTABILITY CONCERNING THE PER.C6® KNOW HOW SUPPLIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY OR PRODUCTS DEVELOPED OR PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND THAT
VAXIN’S USE OF PER.C6® KNOW HOW SUPPLIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE FREE FROM
INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS OR ANY OTHER RIGHTS OF THIRD
PARTIES.

 

11.3 VAXIN Disclaimer. UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, VAXIN DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
MERCHANTABILITY CONCERNING THE KNOW HOW GRANTED BACK PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2.2 OF
THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT CRUCELL’S USE OF KNOW HOW GRANTED BACK PURSUANT TO
CLAUSE 2.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE FREE FROM INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS,
COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS OR ANY OTHER RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.

 

11.4 Indemnification. Except for the willful misconduct or gross negligence of
CRUCELL, or breach of CRUCELL’s representations under this Agreement. CRUCELL
shall not be liable for and VAXIN shall indemnify and hold CRUCELL harmless
against any and all liabilities, damages, losses or injury, death, costs, and
expenses, whether direct or indirect, consequential, incidental, including
attorney’s fees, arising from any third party claims resulting from the offer
for sale, sale, manufacture, importation and/or use of VACCINE or the PER.C6®
KNOW HOW by VAXIN, its licensees, distributors, employees, consultants and
investigators, or agents during or after VAXIN-authorized pre-clinical and
clinical studies.

 

11.5

Indemnification Procedure. If CRUCELL (the “Indemnitee”) intends to claim
indemnification under this Section 11, CRUCELL shall promptly notify VAXIN (the
“Indemnitor”) of any claim, demand, action, or other proceeding for which the
Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification. The Indemnitor shall have the
right to participate in, and to the extent the Indemnitor so desires jointly
with any other Indemnitor similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel selected by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses
to be paid by the Indemnitor, if representation of the Indemnitee by the counsel
retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between the Indemnitee and any other Party represented by
such counsel in such proceedings. The indemnity obligations under this
Section 11 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, demand,
action or other proceeding if such settlement is effected without the prior
express written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. The failure to deliver notice to the
Indemnitor within a reasonable time after notice of any such claim or demand, or
the commencement of any such action or other proceeding, if prejudicial to its
ability to defend such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, shall relieve
such Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 11 with
respect thereto, but the omission so to deliver notice to the Indemnitor shall
not relieve it of

 

17.

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

Confidential Treatment Requested

 

  any liability that it may have to the Indemnitee otherwise than under this
Section 11. The Indemnitor may not settle or otherwise consent to an adverse
judgment in any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, that diminishes
the rights or interests of the Indemnitee without the prior express written
consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. The Indemnitee, its employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate
with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any
claim, demand, action or other proceeding covered by this Section 11.

 

11.6 Insurance. VAXIN, or its designated manufacturer and/or sublicensee, shall
obtain and maintain commercial general liability insurance, including
products/completed operations liability and contractual liability insurance to
protect CRUCELL, its trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents under
the indemnification provided hereunder. VAXIN shall maintain this insurance to
protect against claims covered by the indemnification hereunder, even if
asserted subsequent to the TERM of this Agreement.

 

12 TERM AND TERMINATION

 

12.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the EFFECTIVE DATE and,

notice thereof was provided to the Party-in-breach by the Party not-in-breach.
Any termination shall become effective at the end of such sixty (60) day period
unless the party-in-breach (or any other party on its behalf) has cured any such
breach or default prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) day period.

 

12.3 Termination for Convenience or Otherwise.

 

12.3.1 Entire Agreement. VAXIN and CRUCELL may terminate this Agreement upon
mutual agreement at any time.

12.5 Rights and Obligations on Term, Termination, or Suspension.

 

12.5.1 Termination by either Party pursuant to this Article shall not prejudice
any other remedy that a Party might have. Termination of this Agreement for any
reason shall not release any party hereto from any liability which, at the time

attributable to a period prior to such termination nor preclude either party
from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in
equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement.

the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements, understandings, and negotiations regarding the same. This Agreement
may not be changed, modified, amended, or supplemented except by a written
instrument signed by both Parties hereto.

 

14.2 Severability. If any portion of this Agreement shall be finally determined
by any court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction to violate
applicable law or otherwise not to conform to requirements of law, then the
remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected thereby; provided, however,

Exhibit 1.14 – Cell Line Designation: PER.C6® Cells

Origin of the Cell Line

PER.C6® cells are Human Embryo Retinoblasts transformed with E1 sequences
(nt.459 - 3510) of human Adenovirus type 5. The estimated copy number is five.
The Adenovirus type 5 E1A region in the construct is driven by the human PGK
promoter. The poly(A) sequences are derived from hepatitis B virus.

Cell Line Passage History

Research Master Cell Bank coded A068-016 was stored at passage number 29 on
17 January 1996. Research Working Cell Bank coded A068-043W was generated from
A068-016 and stored at passage number 33 on 7 February 1996. The cell banks are
stored in the vapour phase of liquid nitrogen at 1.0E+06 cells in 1 mL DMEM/9%
FBS/10% DMSO.

Components Used For Culture of the Cells

Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) of Fetal Bovine
Serum (US origin) and, optionally, 10 mM MgCl2. Porcine Pancreas Trypsin/EDTA
(porcine parvovirus tested) was used for passaging cells.

Quality Control

All work on the development of PER.C6® cells carried out at CRUCELL Holland has
been carried out under controlled conditions. The data have been reviewed by QA
CRUCELL Holland. The research Master Cell Bank and research Working Cell Bank
have been tested by GLP-inspected contract testing companies. All recorded data
mentioned have been reviewed by Quality Assurance, CRUCELL Holland BV, Leiden.
All final reports have been reviewed for compliance to the specifications and
pertinent relevant regulatory requirements from the US and EEC.

shall promptly notify the other party hereto in writing setting forth the facts
of such claim in reasonable detail. The party subject to such claim shall have
the exclusive right to defend and control the defense of any such claim, suit or
proceeding, at its own expense, using counsel of its own choice, provided,
however, it shall not enter into any settlement which admits or concedes that
any aspect of the PATENT or KNOW HOW of the other Party hereto is invalid or
unenforceable or otherwise materially adversely affects the other Party, without
the prior written consent of such other Party. Such Party shall keep the other
Party hereto reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with
any such claim, suit or proceeding.

 

7.2 Enforcement.

 

7.2.1 Notification. In the event that a Party obtains actual knowledge that a
third party is infringing one or more of the PER.C6® PATENTS in the field of

7.2.2 Control of Suit:

 

7.2.2.1 As to the infringement of solely owned PER.C6® PATENTS, CRUCELL shall
have the exclusive right and sole discretion to effect termination of such
infringement, including bringing suit or other proceedings against the infringer
in its own name and COMPANY and VAXIN shall be kept informed at all times of all
such proceedings taken by CRUCELL but only so as far as the PER.C6® PATENT in
suit relates to a VACCINE in the FIELD. If CRUCELL requests, subject to VAXIN’s
approval, COMPANY may, at COMPANY’s discretion, join with CRUCELL as a party to
the lawsuit or other proceeding at CRUCELL’ expense; however, CRUCELL shall
retain control of the prosecution of such suit or proceedings, as the case may
be.

 

7.2.3 Costs and Monetary Recovery: Except as expressly provided to the contrary,
each Party shall bear all its costs incurred in connection with such lawsuit or
other proceeding, and consequently shall be entitled to collect and retain for
its own account any damages or profits as may be accrued as a result of such
lawsuit or other proceeding.

 

7.3 Disclaimer. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as obligating
either Party, or giving the COMPANY the right, to proceed against a third party
infringer.

8.2

CRUCELL Disclaimer. UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, CRUCELL DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

Confidential Treatment Requested

 

  AS TO ANY MATTER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR MERCHANTABILITY CONCERNING THE PER.C6® KNOW HOW SUPPLIED
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY OR PRODUCTS DEVELOPED OR PROVIDED
HEREUNDER, AND THAT COMPANY’S USE OF PER.C6® KNOW HOW SUPPLIED UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT WILL BE FREE FROM INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS OR
ANY OTHER RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.

 

8.3 COMPANY Disclaimer. UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
MERCHANTABILITY CONCERNING THE KNOW HOW GRANTED BACK PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2.2 OF
THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT CRUCELL’S USE OF KNOW HOW GRANTED BACK PURSUANT TO
CLAUSE 2.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE FREE FROM INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS,
COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS OR ANY OTHER RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.

 

8.4 Indemnification. Except for the willful misconduct or gross negligence of
CRUCELL, or breach of CRUCELL’s representations under this Agreement. CRUCELL
shall not be liable for and COMPANY shall indemnify and hold CRUCELL harmless
against any and all liabilities, damages, losses or injury, death, costs, and
expenses, whether direct or indirect, consequential, incidental, including
attorney’s fees, arising from any third party claims resulting from the offer
for sale, sale, manufacture, importation and/or use of VACCINE or the PER.C6®
KNOW HOW by COMPANY, its licensees, distributors, employees, consultants and
investigators, or agents during or after VAXIN-authorized pre-clinical and
clinical studies.

 

8.5

Indemnification Procedure. If CRUCELL (the “Indemnitee”) intends to claim
indemnification under this Section 8, CRUCELL shall promptly notify COMPANY (the
“Indemnitor”) of any claim, demand, action, or other proceeding for which the
Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification. The Indemnitor shall have the
right to participate in, and to the extent the Indemnitor so desires jointly
with any other Indemnitor similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel selected by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses
to be paid by the Indemnitor, if representation of the Indemnitee by the counsel
retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between the Indemnitee and any other Party represented by
such counsel in such proceedings. The indemnity obligations under this Section 8
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, demand, action or
other proceeding if such settlement is effected without the prior express
written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. The failure to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a
reasonable time after notice of any such claim or demand, or the commencement of
any such action or other proceeding, if prejudicial to its ability to defend
such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, shall relieve such Indemnitor of
any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 8 with respect thereto, but
the omission so to deliver notice to the Indemnitor shall not relieve it of any
liability that it may have to the Indemnitee otherwise than under this
Section 8.

 

37.

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

Confidential Treatment Requested

 

  The Indemnitor may not settle or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in
any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, that diminishes the rights
or interests of the Indemnitee without the prior express written consent of the
Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The
Indemnitee, its employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate with the
Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any claim,
demand, action or other proceeding covered by this Section 8.

 

8.6 Insurance. COMPANY shall obtain and maintain commercial general liability
insurance, including products/completed operations liability and contractual
liability insurance to protect CRUCELL, its trustees, officers, directors,
employees and agents under the indemnification provided hereunder. COMPANY shall
maintain this insurance to protect against claims covered by the indemnification
hereunder, even if asserted subsequent to the TERM of this Agreement.

 

9 TERM AND TERMINATION

 

9.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the EFFECTIVE DATE and,
unless earlier terminated pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 9,

notice thereof was provided to the party-in-breach by the party not in-breach.
Any termination shall become effective at the end of such sixty (60) day period
unless the party-in-breach (or any other party on its behalf) has cured any such
breach or default prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) day period.

 

9.3 Termination for Convenience or Otherwise.

 

9.4 Entire Agreement. VAXIN and CRUCELL may terminate this Agreement upon mutual

Exhibit 1.8 – Cell Line Designation: PER.C6® Cells

Origin of the Cell Line

PER.C6® cells are Human Embryo Retinoblasts transformed with E1 sequences
(nt.459 - 3510) of human Adenovirus type 5. The estimated copy number is five.
The Adenovirus type 5 E1A region in the construct is driven by the human PGK
promoter. The poly(A) sequences are derived from hepatitis B virus.

Cell Line Passage History

Research Master Cell Bank coded A068-016 was stored at passage number 29 on
17 January 1996. Research Working Cell Bank coded A068-043W was generated from
A068-016 and stored at passage number 33 on 7 February 1996. The cell banks are
stored in the vapour phase of liquid nitrogen at 1.0E+06 cells in 1 mL DMEM/9%
FBS/10% DMSO.

Components Used For Culture of the Cells

Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) of Fetal Bovine
Serum (US origin) and, optionally, 10 mM MgCI2. Porcine Pancreas Trypsin/EDTA
(porcine parvovirus tested) was used for passaging cells.

Quality Control

All work on the development of PER.C6® cells carried out at CRUCELL Holland has
been carried out under controlled conditions. The data have been reviewed by QA
CRUCELL Holland. The research Master Cell Bank and research Working Cell Bank
have been tested by GLP-inspected contract testing companies. All recorded data
mentioned have been reviewed by Quality Assurance, CRUCELL Holland BV, Leiden.
All final reports have been reviewed for compliance to the specifications and
pertinent relevant regulatory requirements from the US and EEC.
