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

 

Sales of the Combination Product in such country, during the applicable Net
Sales reporting period, by the fraction, A/(A+B), where:

 

A is the average sale price of the Licensed Product(s) by LICENSEE or
Sublicensees when sold separately in finished form in such country and B is the
average sale price by LICENSEE or Sublicensees, or, if they have no such right
of sale, by a Third Party of the other product(s) included in the Combination
Product when sold separately in finished form in such country, in each case
during the applicable Net Sales reporting period.

 

In the event one or more Licensed Products are sold as part of a Combination
Product and are sold separately in finished form in such country, but the other
product(s) included in the Combination Product are not sold separately in
finished form in such country, the Net Sales of the Licensed Product, for the
purposes of determining payments based on Net Sales, shall be determined by
multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product in such country by the
fraction C/D where:

 

C is the average sale price, in such country, of the Licensed Product( s)
contained in such Combination Product when sold separately and D is the average
sale price, in such country, for the Combination Product, in each case during
the applicable Net Sales reporting period. Under no circumstances can C/D exceed
one hundred percent (100%).

 

In the event that one or more of the Licensed Product(s) are not sold separately
in finished form in the country, but all of the other product(s) included in the
Combination Product in such country are sold separately, the Net Sales of the
Licensed Product, for the purposes of determining payments based on Net Sales,
shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product in
such country by the fraction (D-E)/D, where:

 

D is the average sale price, in such country, of the Combination Product, and E
is the average sale price of the other product(s) included in the Combination
Product in finished form in such country, in each case during the applicable Net
Sales reporting period.

 

In the event that the Net Sales of the Licensed Product(s) when included in a
Combination Product cannot be determined using the methods above, Net Sales for
the purposes of determining payments based on Net Sales shall be calculated by
multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction of F/(F+G)
where:

 

F is the fair market value of the Licensed Product(s) and G is the fair market
value of all other pharmaceutical product(s) included in the Combination
Product, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Parties.

 

1.13                        “Patent Expenses” means all fees, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, the professional fees of US and foreign patent

any extension or request for extension of the term of one or more Licensed
Patents.

 

1.14                        “Patented Product” shall mean any product whose
manufacture, use, sale or import is covered in whole or in part by a Valid Claim
of the Licensed Patents in the country of manufacture, use, sale or import.

established by Licensee and the Sublicensee and set out in the Sublicense
agreement. If no allocation to Other Technology exists in the Sublicense, UTRF
and LICENSEE agree to good faith negotiations to determine the excluded amounts.
In the event that, after [***] of good faith negotiations, no agreement exists

shall notify UTRF, in writing, within [***] of discovering that such Running
Royalties are approaching or have reached the maximum amount; and

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

 

(d)                                 LICENSEE shall provide UTRF with written
documentation regarding the laws or regulations establishing any such maximum.

 

5.3                               Effect of Taxes on Royalties: In the event
that any taxes are levied by any foreign taxing authority on Running Royalties
payable by LICENSEE under this Agreement, and LICENSEE determines in good faith
that it must pay such taxes:

 

(a)                                 LICENSEE shall have the right to pay such
taxes levied on Running Royalties to the local tax authorities on behalf of
UTRF;

 

(b)                                 LICENSEE shall pay the net amount of Running
Royalties due after reduction by the amount of such taxes that are actually owed
and paid;

 

(c)                                  LICENSEE shall provide UTRF with
appropriate documentation and receipts supporting such payment; and

 

(d)                                 LICENSEE shall inform UTRF in writing within
[***] of being notified that taxes will or have been levied by a taxing
authority on Running Royalties.

 

5.4                               Multiple Licenses. In the event that a Running
Royalty is payable to UTRF on the same Net Sales revenue or a Sublicense Royalty
is payable to UTRF on the same Sublicense Revenue under this Section 5 and under
one or more other UTRF/Licensee license agreements, Licensee shall only be
required to pay UTRF such royalty under one such license agreement, subject to
the provisions of Section 6.2 and provided that if the amount due varies from
one such license agreement to another, Licensee shall pay the highest amount.

 

5.5                               Late Payments: In the event any payments are
not received by UTRF when due, LICENSEE shall pay to UTRF interest on the
overdue balance at the lesser of [***] or the maximum rate of interest allowed
by law. LICENSEE shall also pay all reasonable collection costs at any time
incurred by UTRF in obtaining payment of amounts past due, including reasonable
attorney fees. The payment of such interest shall not foreclose UTRF from
exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any
payment.

 

5.6                               Payment Shortage: If an examination of records
provided under Article 6 of this Agreement reveals a payment shortage of greater
than [***] of the total amount due under any one royalty payment, LICENSEE shall
promptly reimburse UTRF for the reasonable cost of examination, the shortage in
payment, and the interest accrued on the shortage under Article 5.5 of this
Agreement. Each event of payment shortage of greater than [***] shall be
considered a failure to make a payment under Articles 14.

 

5.7                               Manner of Payments: All payments shall be paid
in United States dollars in Knoxville, Tennessee, or at such other place as UTRF
may reasonably designate consistent with the laws and regulations controlling in
the United States or any foreign country. If any currency conversion shall be
required in connection with the payment of royalties hereunder, such conversion
shall be made by using the exchange rate listed in the Wall Street Journal for
major New York banks on the last business day of the calendar quarter to which
such royalty payments relate. If the transfer of moneys owed to UTRF or the
conversion into United States Dollar equivalents in any such instance is not
lawful or possible, the payment of such part of the royalties as is necessary
shall be made by the deposit thereof, in the currency of the country where the
sales were made on which the royalty was based, to the credit and account of
UTRF or its nominee in any commercial bank or trust company of its choice
located in that country, prompt notice of which shall be given by LICENSEE to
UTRF.

 

5.8                               Event of Default: LICENSEE’s failure to make
any payment at the time, in the manner, and in the amount that is required by
Article 5 of this Agreement, shall constitute an event of default and UTRF shall
have the option to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms and
provisions of Article 14 of this Agreement.

 

5.9                               Effect of Receipt or Acceptance: Receipt or
acceptance by UTRF of any payment or report under this Agreement shall not
prevent UTRF from subsequently challenging the validity or accuracy of such
payment or report.

ARTICLE 7. PATENT PROSECUTION

 

7.1                               Rights and Duties:

 

(a)                                 During the Term, LICENSEE will be
responsible for preparing, applying for, seeking issuance of, and maintaining
patent applications and issued patents included in Licensed Patents, and for
prosecuting or defending interferences, oppositions, and reexaminations declared
with regard to patent applications and issued patents included in Licensed
Patents, all for UTRF’s and Licensee’s benefit.

 

(b)                                 In the event that LICENSEE elects not to
file, prosecute or maintain any Licensed Patent in a Major Country within the
Territory, LICENSEE shall so notify UTRF of such decision no later than [***]
before any applicable statutory bar date or response date, as the case may be,
to permit UTRF (at its own expense) to prosecute and/or maintain the patent
application(s) and/or patent(s) that were the subject of such notice.

 

7.2                               Ownership: All patent applications and issued
patents prosecuted or maintained by or on behalf of LICENSEE under Article 7.1
shall be owned by UTRF.

 

7.3                               Patent Numbering: LICENSEE and all its
Sublicensees shall mark all products covered by Licensed Patents with patent
numbers in accordance with the statutory requirements in the country(ies) of
manufacture, use, and sale, and pending the issue of any patents, LICENSEE and
its Sublicensees shall stamp the products, “Patent Applied For,” or the foreign
equivalent as appropriate.

 

7.4                               Exclusion of Certain Foreign Patents: Licensee
agrees that it seek patent coverage for the appropriate Licensed Patents in the
United States and other Major Countries where it is commercially reasonable to
do so. However, UTRF agrees that there may be some foreign jurisdictions where
LICENSEE determines that it will not incur expenses for foreign Licensed Patents
considered unnecessary to its business objectives.

 

ARTICLE 8. INFRINGEMENT

 

8.1                               Enforcement: If either LICENSEE or UTRF
becomes aware of any infringement of the Licensed Patents by a third party, the
party having the knowledge will give the other party prompt written notice.

 

(a)                                 LICENSEE shall have the first right during
the Term, at its sole cost and expense, to commence any action that LICENSEE
deems appropriate, including notifying the infringer to cease and desist all
such infringing activity, filing a complaint and/or instituting an action or a
lawsuit for any known or suspected third party activity that may infringe the
Licensed Patents (each an “Action”), and, in furtherance of such right, UTRF
hereby agrees that LICENSEE may include UTRF as a party plaintiff in any such
suit, without expense to UTRF. In the event LICENSEE commences an Action, UTRF
shall retain the right, at its own expense, to join such Action as a
co-litigant.

 

(b)                                 Should LICENSEE fail to commence and pursue
any particular Action, then UTRF may commence, at its sole cost and expense,
such Action as UTRF deems appropriate, provided that:

 

i.                                          UTRF gives LICENSEE a written [***]
notice of its intention to initiate such Action; and

 

ii.                                       LICENSEE fails to initiate said
suggested Action within said [***] notice period.

 

iii.                                    LICENSEE shall retain the right to join
such Action as a co-litigant.

 

8.2                               Cooperation: Upon the request of the party
that institutes an Action (the “Instituting Party”), the other party (the
“Co-Party”) shall:

 

(a)                                 Join any such Action as a necessary party;
and

11

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

 

(b)                                 Use its commercially reasonable efforts to
assist and cooperate with the Instituting Party in such Action.

 

The Instituting Party shall reimburse the Co-Party for any reasonable and
pre-approved costs related to such assistance and cooperation.

 

8.3                               Recovery of Damages: After reimbursement of
the parties’ previously unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses of such Action or
any previous Action, including attorney’s fees and other out of pocket costs
associated with the Action, [***] of any remaining recovery of damages resulting
from any Action shall be given to the Instituting Party, and [***] to the
Co-Party; provided that if the damage award is identified by judgment of the
court or in a settlement in such suit as compensating Licensee for loss of sales
revenue for Licensed Product on account of such Third Party’s unlicensed or
illegal actions, in which event (instead of dividing the remaining balance
between the Parties as stated in the preceding sentence), Licensee shall pay to
UTRF an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) [***] the remaining balance; or
(ii) [***] of the equivalent of the lost Net Sales upon which such judgment or
settlement award is based, and GTx shall retain the rest.

 

8.4                               Declaratory Judgment Action: In the event that
a declaratory judgment action alleging invalidity or noninfringement of any of
the Licensed Patents shall be brought against UTRF, LICENSEE may, within [***]
of LICENSEE’s receipt of notice regarding such action and with the written
consent of UTRF which shall not be unreasonably withheld, intervene and take
over the sole defense of the action against UTRF at LICENSEE’s own expense,
provided that LICENSEE may not enter into a consent judgment acknowledging the
invalidity or noninfringement of any of the Licensed Patents or an admission of
fault or of wrongdoing or that materially affects the rights of UTRF hereunder
without the prior written approval of UTRF, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

 

8.5                               Notice and Settlement: The Instituting Party
shall reasonably notify the Co-Party of the course of any Action and shall not
settle any Action without prior approval of the Co-Party (i) during the Term if
such settlement contains an admission of the invalidity of any Licensed Patents
or (ii) either during or after the Term if such settlement contains an admission
of fault or wrongdoing or materially affects the rights of the Co-Party
hereunder.

 

ARTICLE 9.  INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE; REPRESENTATIONS; DISCLAIMER OF
WARRANTIES

 

9.1                               Indemnification: In the event that UTRF, UT,
any of their trustees, directors, officers, or employees (each an “Indemnified
Party”) is, as a result of the manufacture, marketing, use, sale, lease, or
import of Licensed Products under this Agreement, charged with infringement of a
patent by a third party or is made a party in any lawsuit arising out of the
manufacture, marketing, use, sale, lease, or import of Licensed Products under
this Agreement, excluding, however, any such action resulting from the use of
any Licensed Patent or Licensed Product by UT or its employees pursuant to
Section 2.2(b) hereof, or any Sublicense (including, without limitation, actions
founded on product liability), LICENSEE shall:

 

(a)                                 Defend or settle, at LICENSEE’s expense, any
such claim of infringement or lawsuit, provided that LICENSEE shall not enter
into any such settlement (i) without the prior approval of UTRF if such
settlement contains an admission of the invalidity of any Licensed Patent or
materially affects the rights of UTRF hereunder; or (ii) without the prior
approval of the Indemnified Party(ies) if such settlement contains an admission
of fault or wrongdoing on the part of such Indemnified Party(ies);

 

(b)                                 Indemnify and hold the Indemnified
Party(ies) harmless for any and all damages, losses, liability, and costs
resulting from such charge of infringement or lawsuit except for damages,
losses, liability, or costs resulting solely from the willful misconduct or
misrepresentation by UTRF, UT, or their respective trustees, directors,
officers, or employees, as adjudicated by decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction, unappealable or unappealed within the time provided by law.

any of the terms of this Article in any way shall make said attempt voidable at
UTRF’s sole discretion. Said failure will constitute a material breach of this
Agreement subject to the termination provisions of Article 14 of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 14. TERM AND TERMINATION

 

14.1                        Term. This Agreement shall take effect upon the
Effective Date, and unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this
Article 14, shall continue in full force and effect on a country-by-country
basis in each country in which a Valid Claim for any Licensed Patent shall
continue to exist, until the last Valid Claim for any Licensed Patent shall
expire in the country, at which time this Agreement shall expire as to such
country (“Term”). After expiration of the Term in a country, LICENSEE shall have
a perpetual, fully paid, royalty-free license to the Licensed Patents in such
country, such license being of no greater scope than that granted hereunder.
LICENSEE shall continue to be obligated to pay (i) Running Royalties on account
of Licensed Product sold in any country for which the Term shall not have
expired; and (ii) Sublicense Royalties on Sublicense Revenue generated under any
Sublicense that includes a grant of rights in any country for which the Term
shall not have expired; and (iii) the Annual Maintenance Fee for as long as
there is at least one country for which the Term shall not have expired.

 

14.2                        Failure to Carry on LICENSEE’s Business: If LICENSEE
shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be insolvent or is
dissolved or declared bankrupt or is placed in receivership pursuant to
proceedings directed against LICENSEE declaring bankruptcy or insolvency, this
Agreement shall terminate immediately, unless UTRF, after being informed of the
same, elects to the contrary.

 

14.3                        LICENSEE’S Failure to Achieve Diligence Milestones:
If LICENSEE fails to meet any Diligence Milestone within the required time
period, UTRF shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon [***] written
notice to LICENSEE, during which time the failure to meet any Diligence
Milestone may be cured.

 

14.4                        LICENSEE’s Failure to Make Payment: Should LICENSEE
fail to pay UTRF any payment due and payable under this Agreement, UTRF shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement on [***] prior written notice, unless
LICENSEE pays UTRF, within [***] after LICENSEE’s receipt of such notice, all
such overdue payments along with

interest due and payable. Upon the expiration of the [***] period, if LICENSEE
shall not have paid all such payments along with interest due and payable, the
rights, privileges and License granted hereunder shall terminate.

 

14.5                        LICENSEE’s Material Breach: Upon any material breach
or default of this Agreement by LICENSEE, other than those occurrences set out
in Articles 14.2 and 14.4 above, which shall always take precedence in that
order over any material breach or default referred to in this Article 14.5,
LICENSEE shall have [***]after the receiving of written notice of such default
by UTRF to correct such default (or in the case of a default described in
Article 14.3, [***]). If such default is not corrected within the said cure
period, UTRF shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Agreement.
The failure of UTRF to exercise such right of termination for non-payment of
royalties or otherwise shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any right UTRF
might have, nor shall such failure preclude UTRF from exercising or enforcing
said right upon any subsequent breach or default by LICENSEE.

 

14.6                        Multiple Failures by LICENSEE to Make Payment: UTRF
may also terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence of the [***] failure by
LICENSEE within any consecutive [***] period for failure to make any payment
under this Agreement when due, regardless of LICENSEE’s cure of the failures
under Article 14.4 above.

 

14.7                        Notice to Sublicensees. At such time as UTRF shall
provide notice to Licensee of its failure to make payment or of any other
material breach hereunder, UTRF agrees to provide similar notice of such breach
to any Sublicensee of which it has been properly notified hereunder, and UTRF
agrees that a Sublicensee shall have the right to cure the default to the same
extent Licensee is provided such right hereunder, provided that any failure on
the part of UTRF to provide any such notice to a Sublicensee shall not be deemed
to be a default on the part of UTRF under this Agreement.

 

14.8                        LICENSEE’s Right to Terminate: LICENSEE shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement:

 

(a)                                 On [***] written notice in the event that
UTRF is in material breach or default of this Agreement and fails to cure such
breach or default within [***] after UTRF’s receipt of such notice; or

 

(b)                                 At any time on [***] written notice to UTRF,
provided that LICENSEE has paid all amounts due UTRF through the effective date
of the termination.

 

14.9                        Surviving Obligations: Upon termination of this
Agreement for any reason, nothing herein shall be construed to release either
party from any obligation that matured prior to the effective date of such
termination. In addition, if the Agreement has been terminated for a reason
other than breach on the part of LICENSEE, then LICENSEE (and any Sublicensee
not then in default) may, after the effective date of such termination, sell all
Licensed Products and complete Licensed Products in the process of manufacture
at the time of such termination and sell the same, provided that LICENSEE shall
pay to UTRF the royalties thereon as required by Article 5 of this Agreement and
shall submit the reports required by Article 6 on the sales of Licensed
Products.

 

14.10                 Effect on Sublicensees: Upon termination of this Agreement
for any reason, any Sublicensee not then in default shall have the right to
assume the rights of Licensee hereunder, subject to the prior written consent of
UTRF, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

ARTICLE 15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

15.1                        Arbitration: Any Dispute in connection with this
Agreement shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration in Memphis,
Tennessee under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

 

(a)                                 Limitations: The arbitrator(s) shall not
have the power to take any action in derogation of the clear intent of the
parties or to award punitive damages.

 

(b)                                 Enforcement: Any award rendered in such
arbitration may be enforced by either party in the courts of the State of
Tennessee or in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Tennessee, to whose jurisdiction for such purposes UTRF and LICENSEE each hereby
irrevocably consents and submits.

15.2                        Temporary Restraining Orders and Preliminary
Injunctions: Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party shall have the right to
apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, a
preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or
prevent irreparable harm.

 

15.3                        Non-Waiver: Nothing in this Article shall be

Agreement.
