drug that could be applied for the treatment of cancer.
Accordingly, the Charity is interested in undertaking the
development of the Antibody at its own cost. As the development is
to be undertaken in pursuance of the Charity's charitable objects,
the Charity will have the right to publish the results of such
development work.






 



(D) 

On completion of
the Charity’s development work, the Company will have the
option to take a licence to the results thereof with a view to the
Company developing the drug further. If the Company does not wish

Subject to: (i) the
Company’s compliance with its obligations hereunder; and (ii)
the Ethics Committee and the Regulatory Authority granting consent
for the Clinical Trial, the Charity will use its reasonable
endeavours to carry out or procure the carrying out of the Clinical
Trial in accordance with the Protocol.







 







 





 




3.2

Once the Clinical
Trial has been opened to Clinical Trial Subjects, the Charity shall
use reasonable endeavours to provide to the Company at least one
Progress Report per month (or with the frequency that is the
Charity’s standard practice at the relevant time in respect
of a clinical trial at the same stage, and of the same scope, as
the Clinical Trial, but no less frequently than quarterly). The
Company may use the Progress Reports for the purpose of determining
whether or not to exercise the Option. All Progress Reports and any
supplementary information provided under them shall be the
Confidential Information of the Charity and the provisions of
Clause 5 shall apply. The Company acknowledges that information or
data provided under this Clause 3.2 may not be verified, clean or
accurate, and is provided “as is”. Without prejudice to

avoidance of doubt, the Charity shall not be held liable or
responsible for any failure and/or refusal by the Ethics Committee
or the Regulatory Authority to grant consent for the Clinical Trial
or any change required therein.





 




3.5

The Charity shall
use reasonable endeavours to carry out, or procure the carrying out
of, the Clinical Trial in accordance with the relevant aspects
of:





 




3.5.1

ICH GCP and the

that:





 




3.6.1

prior to submission
for Ethics Committee approval, the Charity shall provide to the

fourteen (14) day time period may be reduced to such time period as
the Charity is actually able to give to the Company in the
circumstances and the Charity may, if in its reasonable opinion it
is required, submit such changes to the Ethics committee prior to
notifying the Company of such. The Charity will try to reach a
consensus with the Company on all issues arising out of the
Company’s review of any Protocol pursuant to this Clause
3.6.2, but the Charity shall have the final decision.

Charity to compile an Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier;
provided that such requested information is in the Company’s
Control (which shall include all information transferred, and all
information which the Company is entitled to request or Control,
under the Transfer Documents). In the case of co-operation
requested under this Clause 4.1.5, the Company shall procure (at
its own cost) that any subcontractor which has performed activities
or produced documents on its behalf under this Agreement is made
available to the Charity on such notice, for such time and with
such frequency as may be reasonably requested by the Charity. The
Company shall provide information requested by the Charity within
fourteen (14) days of request (or such other period as may be
reasonable given the nature of the request).





 




4.2

The Company shall
provide to the Charity any and all data, documentation, information
and Know-How described in Clauses 4.1.1 to 4.1.5 on an ongoing
basis within a reasonable time after the same comes to the

Control), or into the Company’s Control, after the
Commencement Date.





 




4.3

The Company will
keep the Charity informed of the scope and results of any
pre-clinical or other non-clinical studies being undertaken by it
or with third parties in relation to the Antibody or Back-Up
Antibodies. If the Company is intending to transfer the Antibody or

Antibody with a third party, it will consult with the Charity on
the scope of the intended research and the identity of the third
party and take into good faith consideration any comments the
Charity may have in respect to the same. This Clause should not be
interpreted to limit any restrictions on the Company’s use of
the Antibody or any Back-Up Antibody under Clause 6.1 or elsewhere
in this Agreement.





 




4.4

The Company shall
submit to CRT:





 




4.4.1

a copy of its

quarterly
management accounts of the Company (to include, inter alia, a
(consolidated) profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flow
statement and shall indicate where such management accounts differ
to any material extent from the Annual Budget for such period),
within sixty (60) days of the end of the period to which they
relate; save that the accounts relating to the final quarter in any
calendar year may be provided within ninety five (95) days, rather

4.7

Following its
receipt of the Company GMP Material, the Charity will assess
whether or not it wishes to use the Company GMP Material to
manufacture IMP. At the Charity’s request, the Charity and
the Company shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a technical
agreement that sets out the responsibilities of each Party in
respect of IMP and the GMP aspects of manufacturing IMP (the
“Technical
Agreement”). Negotiations shall take place and be
concluded within [***] of the Charity’s request for a
Technical Agreement. If required, the Technical Agreement will be
in a form substantially similar to that set out in Schedule
13.





 

 




5.

CONFIDENTIALITY/PUBLICATION





 




5.1

Subject to Clause
5.5, each Party shall keep confidential and not disclose to any
third party (other than the Experts, Contributors, Ethics
Committee, Regulatory Authority and staff involved in carrying out
the Clinical Trial on a need to know basis) any Confidential
Information disclosed to it by another Party (the
“Disclosing
Party”) without the prior written consent of the
Disclosing Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the Charity shall be
permitted to disclose Confidential Information disclosed to it to
CRT and CRT shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information
disclosed to it to the Charity. Any party to whom Confidential
Information is disclosed in accordance with this Clause 5.1 shall
be:





 




5.1.1

subject to no less
onerous obligations than those contained in this Clause 5 to keep
such information confidential; and





 




5.1.2

advised of its
confidential nature.





 




5.2

The obligations of
confidence referred to in Clause 5.1 shall not apply to any part of
the Confidential Information which can be proved by evidence in
writing:





 




5.2.1

was known to the
recipient Party (the “Recipient Party”) before its
disclosure by the Disclosing Party;





 




5.2.2

was available to
the public before that date or was otherwise in the public
domain;





 




5.2.3

becomes available
to the public or enters the public domain after that date otherwise
than as a result of an act or default of the Recipient
Party;





 




5.2.4

is received by the
Recipient Party from a third party not bound to the Disclosing
Party by any obligation of secrecy;





 




5.2.5

is independently
developed or generated by the Recipient Party in circumstances
where it has not been derived directly or indirectly from the
Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or





 




5.2.6

is required to be
disclosed by: (i) law, (ii) a Regulatory Authority; or (iii) an
order of any court, provided however, that in each such event the
Recipient Party required to disclose the Confidential Information
shall give prompt notice to the Disclosing Party of such
requirement so that such Disclosing Party may seek a protective
order or other appropriate remedy to the extent of such
disclosure.





 




5.3

The obligations of
the Parties under Clause 5.1 shall survive the expiry or
termination of this Agreement for whatever reason for a period of
ten (10) years from the date of such expiry or
termination.





 




5.4

Each of the Parties
agrees that the provisions of this Clause 5 are fair and reasonable
and that money damages are not a sufficient remedy for any breach
of this Clause 5 and therefore, in addition to all other remedies,
all Parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable
relief as a remedy for such breach.





 




5.5

Notwithstanding any
confidentiality obligations assumed by the Parties hereunder, the
Parties acknowledge: i) the importance of publications to the
academic standing of the Charity and the Contributors; and ii) the
capital raising, transactional, and licensing prospects of the
Company; and iii) the reporting and disclosure obligations of the
Company to its investors and to XOMA under the XOMA Licence.
Accordingly, the Parties have agreed as follows as regards
publication of Clinical Trial Results and Progress
Reports:







 







 





 




5.5.1

The Charity shall
use reasonable endeavours to publish, or procure the publication by
the Contributors of, the Clinical Trial Results in a timely manner
in accordance with generally accepted academic practice, whether
during the course of or after completion of the Clinical
Trial.





 




5.5.2

The Company may
disclose the content of Progress Reports to XOMA only to the extent
it is required to do so under the XOMA Licence, provided that the
disclosure will exclude all information regarding clinical
responses and shall be limited to only information regarding the
clinical indication, anticipated timelines of the trial, the number
of patients dosed, and such other information of a similar nature
as may be reasonably required by the XOMA Licence.





 




5.5.3

The Company may
disclose:





 




(a)

the content of
Progress Reports to a third party in connection with capital
raising, financing, transactional, and/or licensing activities or
prospects for the benefit of the Company. Prior to making such
disclosure, the Company shall give notice to the Charity, including
details of the content of the proposed disclosure and the reason
for wishing to make such disclosure, and shall inform the Charity
of the identity of the third party in its notice unless it is
prevented from doing so due to express confidentiality restrictions
owed to, and requested by, the third party, in which case the
Company shall state the main business area within which the third
party operates. The Company may, without the Charity’s prior
approval, disclose only the clinical indication, anticipated
timelines of the trial, and the number of patients dosed, but shall
obtain the Charity’s approval before proceeding with any
other disclosure under this Clause 5.5.3(a);





 




(b)

the Final Report to
the Company’s consultants and professional advisors, solely
for the purpose of assisting in the evaluation of the results with
a view to exercise of the Option and provided that no patient data
shall be disclosed unless it has been cleansed; and





 




(c)

the content of
Progress Reports to persons holding investments in the Company,
solely for the purpose of a status update, such as periodic
disclosure of recruitment numbers to investors in the Company by
way of demonstration of progress in the Clinical
Trial.





 




5.5.4

It is further
provided that each disclosure of the content of Progress Reports by
the Company under this Clause 5.5 shall be subject to the following
conditions:





 




(a)

all recipients
shall be informed in writing beforehand of the confidential nature
of the information being disclosed and shall have agreed in writing
to obligations of confidentiality in favour of the Company no less
onerous than those contained in this Clause 5 (but without any
right of further disclosure) to keep such information confidential;
and





 




(b)

only the content of
the documents containing the relevant information which has been
processed into a suitable format may be disclosed but not copies of
the actual documents themselves.







 







 





 




5.6

The Charity will
include provisions in its contracts with the Contributor(s) that
require such Contributor(s) to notify the Charity in advance of
submission of any abstract, presentation or manuscript
incorporating Clinical Trial Results that the Contributor(s) wish
to publish or have published or to present or have
presented.





 




5.7

Upon receipt of
such notification from a Contributor or if the Charity wishes
itself to publish or have published or to present or have presented
an abstract, presentation or manuscript incorporating Clinical
Trial Results the Charity shall so notify the Company and CRT and
provide (in so far as it is able to do so in the case of a
Contributor’s notification) in response to the
Company’s and/or CRT’s reasonable request a copy or
summary thereof at least seven (7) days prior to submission for
publication of an abstract or presentation or at least thirty (30)
days prior to submission for publication of a manuscript (or twenty
one (21) days prior to submission for publication of a manuscript
in the case of a Contributor’s notification). Any such copy
or summary shall provide sufficient details to enable the
Company and CRT to ascertain whether it contains Confidential
Information of the Company or CRT respectively or whether Patent
Rights or other proprietary protection should be
sought.





 




5.8

The Company and CRT
shall review and make any comments on such intended publication or
presentation of an abstract to the Charity within seven (7) days
and/or shall review and make any comments on such intended
publication or presentation of a manuscript within thirty (30)
days. The Company and/or CRT may request that:





 




5.8.1

Confidential
Information of the Company (not including Clinical Trial Results
nor information directly relating to the Investigational Medicinal
Product) or Confidential Information of CRT (not including Clinical
Trial Results) be removed from the proposed publication or
presentation; and/or





 




5.8.2

any such
publication or presentation be delayed if in the Company’s or
CRT’s reasonable opinion it is necessary to delay publication
or presentation in order to file a patent application or
application for other proprietary protection in respect of any
invention made in the course of the Clinical Trial. Any such delay
will be kept to the minimum period practicable and will in no event
extend beyond thirty (30) days from the date the proposed
publication or presentation was provided to the
Company.





 


In the
event of a request pursuant to Clauses 5.8.1 or 5.8.2, the Company
or CRT (as the case may be) shall provide the Charity with a
written explanation of the reasons why it believes information
should be removed or a delay is necessary. For the avoidance of
doubt, any Patent Rights filed pursuant to Clause 5.8.2 shall be
filed in CRT’s name unless any Company personnel are deemed
inventors on any such filing, in which case such Patent Right shall
be filed in both CRT’s and Company’s names. As used
herein, inventorship shall be determined in accordance with English
law.


 




5.9

The Charity and CRT
shall be entitled to publish information in relation to the
proposed Clinical Trial, including that it is or will be a trial
conducted by the Clinical Development Partnerships initiative set
up by the Charity and CRT, the pre-requisites for patient
recruitment, a brief description of the Clinical Trial, including
the name of the Company, the reference number and class of the
Investigational Medicinal Product and the location(s) at which the
trial is taking place.





 




5.10

In addition to the
disclosures under Clause 5.5, the Company may disclose the
commercial terms of this Agreement to any actual or potential
investors, bankers, acquirers, acquirees or merger partners, in
each case under appropriate confidentiality provisions
substantially equivalent to those of this Agreement.

Company has been granted the Licence.

The Company shall
use commercially reasonable endeavours to continue to prosecute and
maintain, at its own cost, all of the Company Patent Rights. If the
Company intends to substantially narrow the scope of the claims of
any Patent Rights within the Company Patent Rights it will first
consult with CRT and take into good faith consideration any
concerns or views expressed by CRT. If the Company elects not to
prosecute or maintain any part of the Company Patent Rights, the
Company shall notify CRT in writing within a reasonable period and
no less than [***] prior to the expiration of any applicable time
bars. After receipt of such notice, CRT may elect, before the
expiry of any such time bars, by written notice to the Company, to
take an assignment to any Company Patent Rights identified in such
notice at CRT’s sole discretion and for consideration not
exceeding [***]. In the event that CRT elects to take such an
assignment, the Company shall, at CRT’s expense, promptly
transfer to CRT (or any person nominated by CRT) copies of any and
all documents in the Company’s Control relating to the
filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement and defence of such
Company Patent Rights. The Company shall not assign, charge,
encumber or dispose of any interest in any of the Company
Intellectual Property to a Tobacco Party or in a manner that limits
or impairs the Charity’s or CRT’s rights under the
licence (or assignment, where applicable) of Company Intellectual
Property pursuant to this Agreement without the Charity’s or
CRT’s prior written consent.

6.5

Solely in
connection with the Charity’s and the Contributors’
activities performed pursuant to the Clinical Trial, where carried
out in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company
shall not, and shall procure that its Affiliates shall not,
anywhere in the world, institute or prosecute (or, other than as
required by law, in any way aid any third party in instituting or
prosecuting) any claim, demand, action or cause of action for
damages, costs, expenses or compensation, or for an enjoinment,
injunction, or any other equitable remedy, alleging the
infringement by the Charity and/or any Contributors of any Patent
Rights of the Company and/or any Patent Rights of the
Company’s Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, the
foregoing shall not apply in respect of: (i) development, at any
time, of products other than the IMP; or (ii) any activity in
relation to the IMP which constitutes a breach of the terms of this
Agreement.





 




6.6

Any breach of
Clause 6.5 shall be a material breach and shall accordingly entitle
the Charity to terminate this Agreement under Clause
11.2.





 




6.7

CRT hereby reserves
and excludes from the Option, the worldwide, perpetual and
irrevocable right in and to the Exclusive Results for the
Contributors and the Charity (including scientists funded and/or
employed by the Charity) to:

use the Exclusive
Results for the purpose of non-commercial scientific research
carried out by or for or under their respective direction in
accordance with their respective charitable and/or academic status,
whether alone or in collaboration with a third party or third
parties; and





 




6.7.2

grant licences
under, and make available, the Exclusive Results solely to the
extent necessary to exercise the rights under Clause 6.7.1, but not
otherwise.





 




6.8

For the avoidance
of doubt, CRT shall be entitled, at its discretion, at any time
(including during the Option Period) to grant non-exclusive
licences to the Non-Exclusive Results to any person and for any
purpose.





 




6.9

Neither Charity nor
CRT, or any affiliate or agent of Charity or CRT, shall institute
any type of proceeding in a court, governmental agency, or patent
office anywhere throughout the world for the purposes of
invalidating, narrowing, or reducing the term of one or more claim
in an issued patent or pending patent application. The institution
of any such proceeding during the term of this agreement and
afterwards during the term of Company’s Patent Rights shall
be a material breach and shall accordingly entitle the Company to
terminate this Agreement under Clause 11.2.





 

 




7.

OPTION





 




7.1

CRT grants to the
Company the option, exercisable by notice to CRT in writing (the
“Exercise

Losses arise as a consequence of (i) any wrongful act or omission
and/or negligence of any of the Company Indemnitees; (ii) a breach
of this Agreement by the Company; or (iii) a misrepresentation by
the Company.

Notwithstanding the

liability contained in this Agreement, but subject to Clause 8.5
above, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Charity, CRT, the

and agents (the “Charity
Indemnitees”) harmless from and against all Losses arising
from any claims and proceedings made or brought (whether successful
or otherwise):

Clinical Trial Subjects for personal injury (including death),
arising out of: (i) any failure or delay on the part of the Company
to provide relevant or accurate Company Know­How and other
information relating to the storage, use and safety of any of the

negligence of the Company (or any third party engaged by the
Company) in the supply and/or manufacture of any of the Company
Materials; and





 




9.2.2

 alleging
infringement of a third party’s Patent Rights or other
Intellectual Property Rights resulting from use of Company
Intellectual Property or Company Materials in the course of or in
consequence of the performance of the Clinical Trial or by

the Company has exclusive conduct of the matter and any ensuing
legal proceedings.





 




9.3

The indemnities set

throughout the term of the Agreement (and in the case of insurance
coverage on a "claims made" basis, for a further two years after

provide such evidence of compliance as the Charity deems
sufficient. The initial insurance policy of the Company which

minimum coverage required for the policy to be carried by the
Company under this Clause 9.5. The Company’s obligations, and
the Charity’s and CRT’s rights, under this Clause 9.5
shall apply in addition to, and not instead of, the obligations of
the Company, and rights of the Charity and CRT, under the Escrow
Agreement. Neither the existence of the Escrow Agreement nor any of

Indemnified Party;





 




9.3.2

the Company will
not, except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
provided always, that if the Indemnified Party unreasonably refuses

recover from the Company pursuant to this Clause 9 shall be limited
to the amount for which the action would otherwise have been
settled or compromised and the Indemnified Party shall assume all
costs of defending the claim or proceeding from the date of the

Schedule 4



No Fault Compensation Scheme


 



Preamble


 


The
Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry favours a simple
and expeditious procedure in relation to the provision of
compensation for injury caused by participation in clinical trials.
The Association therefore recommends that a member company
sponsoring a clinical trial should provide without legal commitment
a written assurance to the investigator — and through him to
the relevant research ethics committee — that the following
Guidelines will be adhered to in the event of injury caused to a
patient attributable to participation in the trial in
question.


 


 



1      

Basic
Principles






 



1.1 

Notwithstanding the
absence of legal commitment, the company should pay compensation to
patient-volunteers suffering bodily injury (including death) in
accordance with these Guidelines.






 



1.2 

Compensation should
be paid when, on the balance of probabilities, the injury was
attributable to the administration of a medicinal product under
trial or any clinical intervention or procedure provided for by the
protocol that would not have occurred but for the inclusion of the
patient in the trial.






 



1.3 

Compensation should
be paid to a child injured in utero through the participation of
the subject’s mother in a clinical trial as if the child were
a patient-volunteer with the full benefit of these
Guidelines.






 



1.4 

Compensation should
only be paid for the more serious injury of an enduring and
disabling character (including exacerbation of an existing
condition) and not for temporary pain or discomfort or less serious
or curable complaints.






 



1.5 

Where there is an
adverse reaction to a medicinal product under trial and injury is
caused by a procedure adopted to deal with that adverse reaction,
compensation should be paid for such injury as if it were caused
directly by the medicinal product under trial.






 



1.6 

Neither the fact
that the adverse reaction causing the injury was foreseeable or
predictable, nor the fact that the patient has freely consented
(whether in writing or otherwise) to participate in the trial
should exclude a patient from consideration for compensation under
these Guidelines, although compensation may be abated or excluded
in the light of the factors described in paragraph 4.2
below.






 



1.7 

For the avoidance
of doubt, compensation should be paid regardless of whether the
patient is able to prove that the company has been negligent in
relation to research or development of the medicinal product under
trial or that the product is defective and therefore, as the
producer, the company is subject to strict liability in respect of
injuries caused by it.






 


 



2      

Type
of Clinical Research Covered






 



2.1 

These Guidelines
apply to injury caused to patients involved in Phase II and Phase
III trials, that is to say, patients under treatment and
surveillance (usually in hospital) and suffering from the ailment
which the medicinal product under trial is intended to treat but
for which a product licence does not exist or does not authorise
supply for administration under the conditions of the
trial.






 



2.2 

These Guidelines do
not apply to injuries arising from studies in non-patient
volunteers (Phase I), whether or not they are in hospital, for
which separate Guidelines for compensation already
exist.







 







 






 



2.3 

These Guidelines do
not apply to injury arising from clinical trials on marketed
products (Phase IV) where a product licence exists authorising
supply for administration under the conditions of the trial, except
to the extent that the injury is caused to a patient as a direct
result of procedures undertaken in accordance with the protocol
(but not any product administered) to which the patient would not
have been exposed had treatment been other than in the course of
the trial.






 




2.4

These Guidelines do
not apply to clinical trials which have not been initiated or
directly sponsored by the company providing the product for
research. Where trials of products are initiated independently by
doctors under the appropriate Medicines Act 1968 exemptions,
responsibility for the health and welfare of patients rests with
the doctor alone (see also paragraph 5.2 below).






 



3            

Limitations






 



3.1 

No compensation
should be paid for the failure of a medicinal product to have its
intended effect or to provide any other benefit to the
patient.






 



3.2 

No compensation
should be paid for injury caused by other licensed medicinal
products administered to the patient for the purpose of comparison
with the product under trial.






 



3.3 

No compensation
should be paid to patients receiving placebo in consideration of
its failure to provide therapeutic benefit.






 



3.4 

No compensation
should be paid (or it should be abated as the case may be) to the
extent that the injury has arisen:






 




3.4.1 


through
a significant departure from the agreed protocol;






 



3.4.2 

through the
wrongful act or default of a third party, including a
doctor’s failure to deal adequately with an adverse
reaction;






 




3.4.3


through
contributory negligence by the patient.






 



4        

Assessment
of Compensation






 



4.1 

The amount of
compensation paid should be appropriate to the nature, severity and
persistence of the injury and should in general terms be consistent
with the quantum of damages commonly awarded for similar injuries
by an English Court in cases where legal liability is
admitted.






 



4.2 

Compensation may be
abated, or in certain circumstances excluded, in the light of the
following factors (on which will depend the level of risk the
patient can reasonably be expected to accept):






 




4.2.1

the seriousness of
the disease being treated, the degree of probability that adverse
reactions will occur and any warnings given;






 




4.2.2

the risks and
benefits of established treatments relative to those known or
suspected of the trial medicine.






 


This
reflects the fact that flexibility is required given the particular
patient’s circumstances. As an extreme example, there may be
a patient suffering from a serious or life-threatening disease who
is warned of a certain defined risk of adverse reaction.
Participation in the trial is then based on an expectation that the
benefit/risk ratio associated with participation may be better than
that associated with alternative treatment. It is, therefore,
reasonable that the patient accepts the high risk and should not
expect compensation for the occurrence of the adverse reaction of
which he or she was told.


 



4.3 

In any case where
the company concedes that a payment should be made to a patient but
there exists a difference of opinion between company and patient as
to the appropriate level of compensation, it is recommended that
the company agrees to seek at its own cost (and make available to
the patient) the opinion of a mutually acceptable independent
expert, and that his opinion should be given substantial weight by
the company in reaching its decision on the appropriate payment to
be made.







 







 






 



5       

Miscellaneous






 



5.1 

Claims pursuant to
the Guidelines should be made by the patient to the company,
preferably via the investigator, setting Out details of the nature
and background of the claim and, subject to the patient providing
on request an authority for the company to review any medical
records relevant to the claim, the company should consider the
claim expeditiously.






 



5.2 

The undertaking
given by a company extends to injury arising (at whatever time)
from all administrations, clinical interventions or procedures
occurring during the course of the trial but not to treatment
extended beyond the end of the trial at the instigation of the
investigator. The use of unlicensed products beyond the trial
period is wholly the responsibility of the treating doctor and in
this regard attention is drawn to the advice provided to doctors in
MAL 3Q2 concerning the desirability of doctors notifying their
protection society of their use of unlicensed
products.






 



5.3 

The fact that a
company has agreed to abide by these Guidelines in respect of a
trial does not affect the right of a patient to pursue a legal
remedy in respect of injury alleged to have been suffered as a
result of participation. Nevertheless, patients will normally be
asked to accept that any payment made under the Guidelines will be
in full settlement of their claims.






 



5.4 

A company
sponsoring a trial should encourage the investigator to make clear
to participating patients that the trial is being conducted subject
to the ABPI Guidelines relating to compensation for injury arising
in the course of clinical trials and have available copies of the
Guidelines should they be requested.

4.

CONSIDERATION





 




4.1

Subject to Clause
4.5, CRT and the Company shall share Net Revenue in the following
proportions:





 


CRT
[***];


Company
[***].


 




4.2

In the event that
any Gross Revenue is received by CRT as part of the consideration
for the grant of rights which include rights other than those in
respect of Company Intellectual Property, CRT shall apportion the
consideration as between on the one hand, the rights granted in
respect of the Company Intellectual Property and, on the other, any
other rights granted, in such manner as is fair and
reasonable.





 




4.3

If CRT receives any
non-monetary consideration in respect of the commercial
exploitation of the Company Intellectual Property (such as company
stocks and shares), such non-monetary consideration shall not form
Gross Revenue until CRT has received cash proceeds from the
disposal or other realisation of such consideration. CRT shall not
determine the timing of and price for any realisation of the
Company’s share of non-monetary consideration without first
having notified and consulted the Company, but shall otherwise seek
to realise such non-monetary consideration at the earliest
opportunity that is consistent with securing a reasonable return.
For the avoidance of doubt, any dividend or similar monetary
consideration received in respect of such non-monetary
consideration shall form Gross Revenue.





 




4.4

Subject to Clause
4.5, CRT and the Company shall share any Royalties received by CRT
in each calendar quarter of the Royalty Term in the following
proportions:







 







 





 

 



[***] = Confidential Information has
been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. 


Confidential treatment has been approved with
respect to the omitted information, pursuant to an Order dated

CRT
[***];


Company
[***],

 


provided that under
no circumstance other than that set out in Clause 4.5 shall CRT pay
the Company under this Clause 4.4 [***] in each such calendar
quarter. CRT shall include in any and all sub-licenses granted
under this Agreement obligations on its sub-licensee(s) to make
timely payments (on not less than a quarterly basis) of sufficient
royalties to CRT to ensure that CRT can meet its obligations under
this Clause 4.4.

 


In this
Clause 4.4, “Royalty
Term” means a period, on a Licensed
Product-by-Licensed Product, country-by-country basis, beginning on
the Effective Date and ending upon the later to occur
of:

 




4.4.1

the expiry of any
Data Exclusivity Period in respect of the data submitted for the
NDA for such Licensed Product in such country;





 




4.4.2

the expiry of ten
(10) years from the First Commercial Sale; and





 




4.4.3

the date when
unauthorised manufacture, sale or use of the Licensed Product would
no longer infringe a valid claim of the Company Patent Rights in
the country of sale or manufacture.





 




4.5

Without restricting
or limiting any of the Charity’s or CRT’s rights under
the CTOA, CRT may deduct as a first charge and set off from sums
due to the Company under this Clause 4 any and all sums of any
nature that are due and payable, but not yet paid, by the Company
to CRT or the Charity under or in connection with the CTOA
(including, without limitation, any sums due pursuant to Clause 9.2
or 12.2 of the CTOA).





 


 




5.

PAYMENT

5.1

All payments due to
the Company under this Agreement shall be made in United States

5.2

CRT shall pay to
Company:





 




5.2.1

payments due under

5.2.2

the payments due
pursuant to Clause 4.4 Quarterly within thirty (30) days of the end
of each Quarter in which the corresponding Royalties are received
by CRT.





 




5.3

Where Licensed
Products are sold or Sub-Licence Revenue or Royalties are received
by CRT (or a Sub-Licensee) in a currency other than United States
Dollars, the rate of exchange to be used for converting such other
currency into United States Dollars shall be the relevant mid-spot
rate for the currency quoted by the Financial Times on the last day
of the Quarter to which they relate.





 




5.4

All costs of
transmission and currency conversion shall be borne by
CRT.





 




5.5

All payments to the
Company under this Agreement are expressed to be exclusive of value
added tax howsoever arising, and CRT shall pay to the Company in
addition to those payments or, if earlier, on receipt of a tax
invoice or invoices from the Company, all value added tax for which
the Company is liable to account in relation to any supply made or
deemed to be made for value added tax purposes pursuant to this
Agreement.





 




5.6

All sums payable
under this Agreement shall be paid without deduction or deferment
in respect of any claims whatsoever and of any taxes except any tax
which CRT is required by law to deduct or withhold. If CRT is
required by law to make any such tax deduction or withholding, CRT
shall pay to the Company such amount as shall, after deduction,
amount to the sum referred to in this Agreement give reasonable
assistance to the Company to claim exemption from or (if that is
not possible) a credit for the deduction or withholding under any
applicable double taxation or similar agreement from time to time
in force, and shall promptly give the Company proper evidence as to
the deduction or withholding and payment over of the tax deducted
or withheld.







 







 





 




5.7

Where the Company
does not receive payment of any sums due to it by the due date,
interest shall accrue both before and after any judgment on the sum
due and owing to the Company at the rate equivalent to an annual
rate of two percent (2%) over the then current base rate of the
Bank of England, calculated on a monthly basis, until the full
amount is paid to the Company, without prejudice to the
Company’s right to receive payment on the due
date.





 




5.8

Within thirty (30)
days after the end of each Quarter, CRT shall send to the Company a
written statement detailing in respect of that Quarter (including a
nil report if appropriate):





 




5.8.1

became due to Company;





 




5.8.2

for each
sub-licence, details of each item of Sub-Licence Revenue received

the Company, the Charity and CRT as to both liability and quantum;

fully meet its liabilities arising under or in connection with, the
CTOA (each, a “Claim”), including
if:

 


(a) the
Company fails to fully discharge its obligations under Clause 9.2
of the CTOA. Subject to Clause 13 of the CTOA, CRT or the Charity,
but not both, shall have the right to receive from the Escrow Agent
an amount out of the Escrow Fund equal to the amount the Company
has failed to cover to fully discharge its obligations under Clause
9.2 of the CTOA. Such right shall include the right of the Charity
or CRT to make Claims on behalf of Charity Indemnitees, and receive
from the Escrow Agent an amount out of the Escrow Fund equal to the
amount payable by the Company to Charity Indemnitees, under the
CTOA; and

 


(b) the
Company fails to pay amounts owed to the Charity under Clause
12.2.2 of the CTOA upon termination of the CTOA by CRT or the
Charity pursuant to Clause 11.2 or 11.4. Subject to Clause 13 of
the CTOA, CRT or the Charity, but not both, shall have the right to
receive from the Escrow Agent an amount out of the Escrow Fund
equal to the amount the Company owes the Charity.

 


The
Charity’s and CRT’s rights under this Section 5.1 are
subject to Section 5.4.

 


5.2
Objections to
Claims.

 


(a) At
the time of delivery of a written notice of a Claim to the Escrow
Agent and the Company by CRT or the Charity, and for a period of
twenty (20) days after such delivery is made to the Company, the
Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to CRT, the Charity, or the
Charity Indemnitees of any amount from the Escrow Fund pursuant to
Section 5.1 hereof unless the Escrow Agent shall have received
written authorization from the Company to make such delivery. After
the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Escrow Agent
shall pay and deliver funds (in US dollars) claimed by the Charity
or CRT from the Escrow Fund to an account designated by the Charity
or CRT; provided, however, that no such payment or delivery may be
made if the Company shall object in a written statement to the
Claim made in the written notice, and such statement shall have
been delivered to the Escrow Agent, the Charity and CRT prior to
the expiration of such twenty (20) day period.

 


(b) The
Company shall furnish CRT and the Charity with detailed written
reason(s) for its objection at the same time as it delivers its
objection to any Claim.

 


(c) The
Company shall not unreasonably object to any Claim made to the
Escrow Agent by CRT or the Charity, including by making any
objection that has no reasonable prospect of being upheld if
referred to arbitration.



 







 





 

 


5.3
Resolution of
Conflicts; Arbitration.

 


(a) In
case the Company shall object in writing to any Claim or Claims
made in any written notice by CRT or the Charity, the Company, CRT,
and the Charity shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the
rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such
Claims. If the Company, CRT, and the Charity should so agree, a
memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and
signed by the parties and shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent.
The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum
and distribute funds or withhold payments from the Escrow Fund in
accordance with the terms thereof.

 


(b) If
no such agreement can be reached within twenty (20) business days
after delivery of the Company’s written objection to CRT or
the Charity’s Claim in the written notice notwithstanding
good faith negotiation, any of the Company, CRT or the Charity may
demand arbitration of the matter. The Company, CRT, or the Charity
shall, within twenty (20) days of the demand, mutually select one
independent arbitrator with at least five (5) years relevant
experience; provided, however, that if the Company, CRT, and the
Charity cannot agree upon one arbitrator during such twenty (20)
day period, the Company, on the one hand, and CRT and the Charity,
on the other, shall, within five (5) days following such twenty
(20) day period, each select one arbitrator and the two arbitrators
so selected shall select a third arbitrator, each of which
arbitrators shall be independent and have at least five (5) years
relevant experience. The arbitrator(s) shall set a limited time
period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and
time for discovery to the extent possible while allowing the
parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the
arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing
parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator(s)
shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have
the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees
and costs, should the arbitrator(s) determine that discovery was
sought without substantial justification or that discovery was
refused or objected to without substantial justification. The
decision of the arbitrator (or, in the case of three arbitrators, a
majority of the three arbitrators) as to the validity and amount of
any Claim in such written notice shall be binding and conclusive
upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in
Section 5.2 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with
such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund
in accordance therewith. Such decision shall be written and shall
be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which
shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the
arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall also have the authority to
award additional sums to the Charity and CRT, and reimbursement of
attorneys’ fees and costs, should the arbitrator(s) determine
that the objection had no reasonable prospect of being
upheld.

 


(c)
Judgement upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be
held in London, England, under the International Arbitration Rules
of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution then in
effect.

 


(d)
Each party shall bear its own fees and costs in connection with the
arbitration. The fees, costs and expenses of the arbitrator(s), if
any, shall be apportioned between the Company, on the one hand, and
CRT and the Charity, on the other, based upon the inverse
proportion of the amount of disputed items resolved in favor of
such party (i.e., so that the prevailing party bears a lesser
amount of such fees and expenses).

 


5.4
Limit. The maximum
aggregate amount that the Charity and CRT may claim, and that is
payable to them, from the Escrow Account to satisfy any and all
Claims made under this Agreement shall be eight hundred
thousand US dollars ($800,000 USD). The rights granted under
this Agreement are in addition to, and not instead of, any rights
of the Charity and CRT under or in connection with the CTOA,
whether under contract, statute or tort. Nothing in this Agreement
shall, or is intended to, limit such rights, including where sums
paid under this Agreement do not fully discharge the
Company’s liabilities.

between the parties thereto. The Escrow Agent shall not be
responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the performance
by the Company, CRT, or the Charity of their respective obligations
under the CTOA or this Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be
responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the failure of
any party to the CTOA to honor any of the provisions of the
CTOA.

 


6.2 The
duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be limited to and
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and
the CTOA, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into
this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall
neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the
terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document
other than this Escrow Agreement or the CTOA, whether or not a copy
and/or original of such agreement is held by Escrow Agent; and, the
Escrow Agent shall have no duty to know or inquire as to the
performance or nonperformance of any provision of any such
agreement, instrument or document. This Escrow Agreement sets forth
all matters pertinent to the escrow contemplated hereunder, and no
additional obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be inferred from
the terms of this Escrow Agreement or any other agreement,
instrument or document. All references in this Escrow Agreement to
any other agreement (other than the CTOA) are for the convenience
of the parties other than the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent
has no duties or obligations with respect thereto.

 


6.3 The
Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon and shall be protected
in acting in reliance upon any instruction, notice, information,
certificate, instrument or other document which is submitted to it
in connection with its duties under, and in accordance with, this
Agreement and which the Escrow Agent in good faith believes to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow
Agent shall have no liability with respect to the form, execution,
validity or authenticity thereof.

 


6.4 The
Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult, at its own cost, with
independent counsel of its own selection and the opinion of such
counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to
the Escrow Agent in respect of any action taken or omitted by the
Escrow Agent hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the
opinion of such counsel, unless caused by or arising from its own
fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 


6.5 The
Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any
diminution in value of any assets held under this agreement which
may result from any investments or reinvestments made in accordance
with any provision which may be contained in this
agreement.

 


6.6 The
Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
under this Agreement while acting in good faith, unless caused by
or arising from its own fraud, negligence or
misconduct.

 


6.7 The
Escrow Agent shall have the right to perform any of its duties
hereunder through custodians or nominees, and shall be liable for
all acts and omissions of such custodians or nominees as if they
were acts or omissions of the Escrow Agent.



 







 





 


6.8 Any
banking association or corporation into which the Escrow Agent may
be merged, converted or with which the Escrow Agent may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent shall be a
party, or any banking association or corporation to which all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Escrow
Agent shall be transferred, shall succeed to all of the Escrow
Agent’s rights, obligations and immunities hereunder without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part
of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

 


6.9 The
Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to resign for any
reason and be discharged of its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder by
giving written notice of its resignation to the parties hereto at
least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the date specified for
such resignation to take effect. In addition, the Company, the
Charity and CRT may remove the Escrow Agent as escrow agent at any
time with or without cause, by an instrument given to the Escrow
Agent, which instrument shall be signed by each of the Company, the
Charity and CRT and shall designate the effective date of such
removal. In the event of any such resignation or removal, a
successor escrow agent which, unless the Company, CRT, and the
Charity otherwise agree in writing, shall be a bank or trust
company organized under the laws of the United States of America or
of the State of Illinois shall be appointed by Company with the
approval of CRT and the Charity, which approval shall not be
unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld. Any such successor
escrow agent shall deliver to Company, CRT and the Charity a
written instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon it
shall succeed to all the rights and duties of the Escrow Agent
hereunder and shall be entitled to receive the Escrow Fund. All
responsibilities of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall cease and
terminate on the effective date of its resignation or removal and
its sole responsibility thereafter shall be to hold the Escrow Fund
for a period of thirty (30) calendar days following the effective
date of resignation or removal, at which time:

 


(1) if
a successor Escrow Agent shall have been appointed and written
notice thereof shall have been given to the resigning or removed
Escrow Agent by parties hereto and the successor Escrow Agent, then
the resigning Escrow Agent shall deliver the remaining Escrow Fund
to the successor Escrow Agent; or

 


(2) if
a successor Escrow Agent shall not have been appointed, for any
reason whatsoever, the resigning or removed Escrow Agent shall
deliver the Escrow Fund to a court of competent jurisdiction in the
County of New York, New York and give written notice of the same to
Company, CRT, and the Charity.

 


6.10 In
the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties
or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions with respect to
the Escrow Fund, which, in its sole discretion, are in conflict
either with other instructions received by it or with any provision
of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall have the absolute right
to suspend all further performance under this Agreement (except for
the safekeeping and investment of the Escrow Fund) until such
uncertainty or conflicting instructions have been resolved by
alternative dispute resolution, to the Escrow Agent’s sole
satisfaction, pursuant to Section 7 hereof or by final judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction, joint written instructions
executed by all parties hereto, or otherwise. In the event that any
controversy arises between one or more of the parties hereto or any
other party with respect to this Agreement and/or the Escrow Fund,
the Escrow Agent shall not be required to determine the proper
resolution of such controversy or the proper disposition of the
Escrow Fund.  In such event, and without the consent or
approval of any other party, (i) the Escrow Agent shall have the
absolute right, in its sole discretion, to deposit; and (ii) the
Company shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to
require the Escrow Agent to deposit, the cash remaining in the
Escrow Fund with the clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction
specified in Section 6 hereof, file a suit in interpleader in that
court and obtain an order from that court requiring all parties
involved to resolve their respective claims to the Escrow Fund
pursuant to Section 6. Upon the deposit by the Escrow Agent of the
Escrow Fund with the clerk of that court in accordance with this
provision, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further
obligations, and the Company shall have no obligation to restore
the Escrow Balance under Section 2.



 







 





 


6.11
The Company shall indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from
and against all liabilities, causes of action, claims, demands,
judgments, damages, reasonable costs and expenses that may arise
out of or in connection with the Escrow Agent’s good faith
acceptance of and performance of its duties and obligations under
this Agreement, except to the extent related to acts or omissions
of the Escrow Agent in bad faith constituting fraud, gross
negligence or willful misconduct or otherwise in breach of this
Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of
this Agreement.

Specific
Performance. Each party agrees that irreparable harm, for

agreement in writing executed by each of the parties hereto
