{00055541.1 / 002795}




 


		
***    percent (***%) of Licensee’s Net Sales of each category of Licensed Products and   ***     percent (***%) of Net Sales of Licensee’s Sublicensees. This obligation to pay royalties shall survive termination (but not expiration) of this License. 




 

Sales or other transfers among Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees which would otherwise be royalty bearing under this Agreement shall be disregarded for purposes of computing royalties, to the extent that Licensed Products subject to such sale or transfer are subsequently sold or transferred to a third party where a payment of royalty by such third party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to such sale or transfer will be required.  Regardless of the number of Licensed Patents that cover a Licensed Product, Licensee shall only pay one applicable royalty set forth in this Article 5.1, and shall not pay multiple royalties for such overlapping coverage.

 


	
5.2.
	
Royalties payable to Rutgers shall be paid quarterly on or before the following dates of each calendar year with respect to the immediately preceding calendar quarter:




 


	
 
	
(i)
	
February 28th, and





	
 
	
(ii)
	
May 31st, and





	
 
	
(iii)
	
August 31st, and 





	
 
	
(iv)
	
November 30th.  




 

Each such payment will be for unpaid royalties that accrued within Licensee's most recently completed calendar quarter plus any other undisputed unpaid royalties due, but not previously paid for any reason.

 


	
5.3.
	
For the term of this Agreement, with regard to Coronary Stent Products only Licensee shall pay to Rutgers a minimum annual royalty beginning on the first anniversary of the first commercial sale of a Coronary Stent Product according to the following payment schedule:




 

Year one:    $***

 

Year two:     $***

 

Year three:  $***

 

Year four:    $***

 

Year five:     $***

{00055541.1 / 002795}




 

 

Year six:       $***

 

In year seven and every year thereafter, Licensee shall pay an annual fee of 
$***

 

For the term of this Agreement with regard to Non-Coronary Stent Products and Non-Stent Products which for the purposes of this Section 5.3 only are combined into one category of Licensed Products other than Coronary Stent Products, Licensee shall pay to Rutgers a minimum annual royalty beginning on the first anniversary of the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product, other than a Coronary Stent Product, according to the following payment schedule. 

 

Year one:     $***

 

Year two:      $***

 

Year three:   $***

 

Year four:     $***

 

Year five:      $***

 

Year six:        $***

 

In year seven and every year thereafter, Licensee shall pay an annual minimum royalty payment of $***.

 


	
5.4.
	
This minimum annual royalty shall be paid to Rutgers by February 28 of each year and shall be credited against the earned royalty due and owing for the calendar year in which the minimum annual royalty is paid.  The first minimum annual royalty due shall be prorated by the fractional number of full months remaining in that calendar year and shall be paid within forty-five days (45) of the date of first commercial sale of a Licensed Product.




 


	
5.5.
	
All amounts due Rutgers shall be payable in United States Dollars in New Brunswick, New Jersey.  When Licensed Products are sold for monies other than United States Dollars, the earned royalties will first be determined in the foreign currency of the country in which such Licensed Products were sold and then converted into equivalent United States Dollars.  The exchange rate will be the average of the United States Dollar buying rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each month during the reporting period.

5.6.
	
Licensee shall be responsible for any and all taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by the U.S. Government or any country outside the United States on the income for sales occurring in any such country, excluding income taxes owing on Rutgers’ income.




 


	
5.7.
	
If at any time legal restrictions prevent the acquisition or prompt remittance of United States Dollars by Licensee with respect to any country where a Licensed Product is sold, Licensee shall pay royalties due to Rutgers from Licensee’s other sources of United States Dollars.




 


	
5.8.
	
In the event that any patent or any claim thereof included within the Rutgers’ Patent Rights shall be held invalid in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort in any country and from which no appeal has or can be taken, all obligation to pay royalties based on such patent or claim or any claim patently indistinct there from shall cease as of the date of such final decision with respect to such country.  Licensee shall not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued before such decision or that are based on another patent or claim not involved in such decision, or that are based on the Rutgers’ Technology.




 


	
5.9.
	
If a license to the Inventions has been granted to the U.S. Government, no running royalties shall be payable hereunder on Licensed Products sold to the U.S. Government.  Licensee, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees shall reduce the amount charged for Licensed Products sold to the U.S. Government by an amount equal to the royalty for such Licensed Products otherwise due Rutgers as provided herein.




 


	
5.10.
	
If Licensee’s practice of a claim of an issued patent included in the Rutgers’ Patent Rights infringes a third party’s patent rights (as documented by a written opinion of an outside patent counsel selected by the parties, a copy of which is provided to Rutgers), and as a result Licensee is obligated to pay running royalties to such third party as a result of such infringement, then to the extent the sum of the running royalties Licensee is obligated to pay Rutgers and said third party for such infringement exceed ***% of Net Sales of Licensed Product, the running royalties due Rutgers shall be reduced by ***   percent (***%) of such excess, provided however, the running royalty rate due Rutgers will not be reduced by more than one-half the rates otherwise due to Rutgers, as stated above.

DILIGENCE  




 


	
6.1.
	
Licensee, upon and after execution of this Agreement, shall use all reasonable efforts to develop, test, obtain any required governmental approvals, manufacture, market and sell Licensed Products in all countries of the Major Market Countries and any such other countries mutually agreed to by the parties.  Licensee shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Major Market Country approval within a reasonable time after execution of this Agreement and supply (or have supplied) Licensed Product to such Major Market Countries in quantities sufficient to meet the market demands.




 


	
6.2.
	
Licensee shall be entitled to exercise prudent and reasonable business judgment in meeting its diligence obligations in Section 6.1, but at a minimum will exert at least the efforts that it exerts for its own highly valuable potential products under development and existing products being marketed and sold.




 


	
6.3.
	
Licensee shall meet the following key commercialization milestones within the time frames indicated. If a substantial change in laws or regulations that directly affects the approval process for a Licensed Product prevents Licensee from meeting the milestone dates in this Section 6.3 Rutgers and Licensee agree to negotiate in good faith for a reasonable change in the dates effected.




 


	
 
	
(i)
	
In regard to a Coronary Stent Product,




 


	
 
	
(a)
	
Licensee or its Sublicensees will initiate at least one clinical trial for a Coronary Stent Product within eighteen (18) months of the Effective Date of this Agreement in Major Market Country. 





	
 
	
(b)
	
Licensee or its Sublicensees will submit a complete application to either an appropriate regulatory body in the European Community or to the USFDA for CE Market/PreMarket Approval for at least one Coronary Stent Product within forty-eight (48) months of the Effective Date of this Agreement.  Should applicable regulatory requirements change subsequent to the Effective Date or should there arise a technical complication requiring that Licensee (or Sublicensees) must perform additional research and development work to satisfy the new requirements, Licensee may request an extension at no cost to Licensee of up to eighteen (18) months to complete this milestone.  Permission for such an extension shall not be unreasonably withheld by Rutgers as long as Licensee provides documentation showing that the extension is  necessary, as well as a reasonable revised timeline to the submission required to satisfy this milestone.  .




 


	
 
	
(c)
	
Licensee or its Sublicensees will commence commercial sales of at least one Coronary Stent Product in at least one Major Market Country within six (6) months of obtaining regulatory approval for such product.  




{00055541.1 / 002795}




 

 

 

(ii) With regard to any Non-Stent Product, 


	
 
	
(a)
	
Licensee shall pay to Rutgers $***    upon execution of this
Agreement.





	
 
	
(b)
	
Licensee or its Sublicensees shall file with the USFDA or with a comparable agency in another Major Market Country, product specific applications to initiate human trials that are intended to lead to market approval of a Licensed Product.  Such filing shall occur no later than three (3) years from the date of execution of this Agreement.  If such filing does not occur within three years, Licensee may elect to extend the filing period by an additional year by payment of a $***
 extension fee.  If extended, and if such filing does not occur by the fourth anniversary, Licensee may elect a further extension of the filing period to a fifth year by payment of a $***     extension fee.  If additional extensions are required, Licensee may obtain them by paying $*** annually there after if the necessary filing has not occurred prior to the date the extension fee is due.




 

Should applicable regulatory requirements change subsequent to the Effective Date or should there arise a technical complication requiring that Licensee (or Sublicensees) must perform additional research and development work to satisfy the new requirements, Licensee may request a one-time extension at no cost to Licensee of up to eighteen (18) months to complete this milestone.  Permission for such an extension shall not be unreasonably withheld by Rutgers as long as Licensee provides documentation showing that the extension is reasonably necessary, as well as a reasonable revised timeline to the submission required to satisfy this milestone.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, it is made explicit that the extension fees outlined above are distinct from milestone, license or any other fees discussed in this Agreement.

BOOKS AND RECORDS




 


	
8.1.
	
Licensee shall keep and cause its Affiliates and require its Sublicensees to keep books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accurately showing all financial transactions and information relating to this Agreement.

8.2.
	
The fees and expenses of Rutgers' representatives performing such an examination shall be borne by Rutgers.  However, if an error in any payment of more than five percent (5%) of such payment due is discovered, then the fees and expenses of these representatives shall be borne by Licensee, and Licensee shall promptly reimburse Rutgers for reasonably documented audit expenses as well as all overdue payments and late interest payments.  Any information gathered during such accounting shall be deemed Licensee's Confidential Information, and the independent accounting firm shall be bound to confidentiality terms substantially equivalent to those contained in this Agreement.




 

 


	
9.
	
TERM OF THE AGREEMENT




 


	
9.1.
	
Unless otherwise terminated by operation of law or by acts of the parties in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be in force from the Effective Date and shall remain in effect in each country of the Territory until the expiration of the last-to-expire patent licensed under this Agreement in such country.




 


	
9.2.
	
Any termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect the rights and obligations set forth in the following Sections and/or Articles:




 

Article 1, Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.6, Section 2.8, Section 3.1, Section 5.5, Section 5.6, Section 5.7, Section 5.8, Section 5.9, Section 5.10, Article 8, this Article 9, Section 10.1, Section 11.1, Article 12, Article 

{00055541.1 / 002795}




 

13, Article 17, Article 18, Article 19, Article 20, Article 21, Article 22, Article 24, Article 25, Article 26, Article 27.

 


	
9.3.
	
Any termination or expiration under this Agreement shall not relieve a party of any obligation or liability accrued hereunder prior to such termination or expiration or rescind anything done by a party or any payments made to the other party hereunder prior to the time such termination or expiration becomes effective, and such termination or expiration shall not affect in any manner any rights of a party arising under this Agreement prior to such termination or expiration. Solely upon expiration of this Agreement in any country, Rutgers shall grant to Licensee the rights set forth in Section 2.1, solely with regard to the Rutgers’ Technology on a perpetual, non-exclusive and fully-paid basis in such country.




 


	
9.4.
	
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Licensee shall only have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety , or to terminate with regard to its obligations under the Agreement that relate to Coronary Stent Products, if specific circumstances obtain as described below. In the event of such termination, Licensee shall give Rutgers one hundred and twenty (120) days notice of intent to terminate.  Licensee may not terminate Agreement prior to initial commercial sales of a Coronary Stent Product.  The circumstances that would permit Licensee to terminate the Agreement are specified below:




 


	
 
	
a.
	
If market conditions outside Licensee’s control related to commercial potential for Coronary Stent Products deteriorate to the extent that continued marketing of such Products is no longer commercially viable for Licensee.  In these circumstances, Licensee shall provide Rutgers with documentation of the market conditions adversely affecting sales of Coronary Stent Products and how such conditions make it no longer commercially reasonable for Licensee to continue to market said products. Market conditions sufficient to justify termination would include, for example (but would not be restricted to), the commercial development of a non-stent technology that substantially reduces the demand for and/or the selling price of the Coronary Stent Products to the extent that it is no longer commercially viable for Licensee to continue to market such Products.





	
 
	
b.
	
The imposition of new regulations (outside Licensee’s control) that render further marketing of Coronary Stent Products not commercially viable for Licensee. Regulatory factors justifying termination of the License might include, but would not be restricted to, regulations that so affect the manufacture of Coronary Stent Products (including the polymer, the stent or any process related thereto) that it is no longer commercially viable for 




{00055541.1 / 002795}




 


	
 
		
Licensee to produce such Products (e.g. if a component of the manufacturing process is banned from the market or otherwise becomes unavailable and there is no suitable replacement).   Another example of a regulation that would justify termination of the Agreement is one that would result in the Product being prohibited from use in human beings. . In these circumstances, Licensee shall provide Rutgers with documentation regarding the applicable regulatory change and the effect of such change on Licensee.  




Unless Licensee terminates the Agreement under the provisions of this Section 9.4, following receipt of regulatory approval to market a Coronary Stent Product, Licensee will be bound by the minimum royalty payments set forth in Section 5.3. 

If Licensee terminates the Agreement in whole under the provisions of this Section 9.4, Licensee will forfeit all rights to manufacture, sell, or distribute any Licensed Products and Licensee will assign its interest in any and all joint patent rights included in Rutgers Patent Rights to Rutgers.  If Licensee only terminates the Agreement with respect to Coronary Stent Products, then it shall only forfeit the rights to manufacture, sell or distribute Coronary Stent Products and will assign to Rutgers its interest in any and all applicable patent rights included in Rutgers Patent Rights.

 

 


	
10.
	
TERMINATION FOR CAUSE BY EITHER PARTY




 


	
10.1.
	
If one party should materially breach or materially fail to perform any provision of this Agreement, then the other party may give written notice of such default (Notice of Default) to the breaching party.  The parties agree that failure to make any payment when due under the terms of this Agreement or breach of any of the required obligations in Sections 6.1 through 6.3 of the Agreement shall be deemed, without limitation, a material breach or a material failure under this Section. If the breaching party should fail to cure such default within sixty (60) days of notice thereof, the non-breaching party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the licenses herein by a second written notice (Notice of Termination) to the breaching party.  If a Notice of Termination is sent to the breaching party, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the effective date of such notice.  Termination shall not relieve the breaching party of its obligation to pay all amounts due to the non-breaching party as of the effective date of termination and shall not impair any accrued rights of the non-breaching party.




 

 


	
11.
	
DISPOSITION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS ANDINFORMATION ON HAND UPON TERMINATION




 


	
11.1.
	
 Upon termination of this Agreement by either party:




{00055541.1 / 002795}




 


	
 
	
(i)
	
Licensee shall have the privilege of disposing of all previously made or partially made Licensed Products (Licensee may complete partially made Licensed Products), but no more, within a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days after the initial notice of termination given pursuant to Sections 9.4, 10.1  or 11.1 hereunder, provided, however, that the disposition of such Licensed Products shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement including, but not limited to, the payment of royalties at the rate and at the time provided herein and the rendering of reports thereon; and,  





	
 
	
(ii)
	
each party shall promptly return, and shall cause its Affiliates and require its Sublicensees to return, all property belonging to the other party, including without limitation in the case of Rutgers, Rutgers’ Technology and Rutgers’ Confidential Information, if any, that has been provided to Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees hereunder; and including without limitation in the case of Licensee, Licensee Confidential Information.  All copies and facsimiles thereof and derivatives therefrom shall be returned (except that one copy of written material for record purposes only, provided such material is not used for any other purpose and is not disclosed to others).




 

 


	
12.
	
USE OF NAMES, TRADEMARKS, AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION




 


	
12.1.
	
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting any right to a party, its Affiliates or Sublicensees to use in advertising, publicity, or other promotional activities or otherwise any name, trade name, trademark, or other designation of the other party or any of its units (including contraction, abbreviation or simulation of any of the foregoing).  Unless required by law or consented to in advance in writing by an authorized representative of Rutgers, the use by Licensee of the name, "Rutgers, The State University" or any campus or unit of Rutgers is expressly prohibited.

suit that threatens the validity of the Rutgers’ Patent Rights or of any intellectual property rights owned by Rutgers as of the Effective Date which would prevent Licensee from practicing the rights licensed to Licensee under this Agreement.  Rutgers shall not exercise any intellectual property rights owned by Rutgers as of the Effective Date, or grant a license to any third party, which would prevent Licensee from practicing, or conflict with, the rights licensed to Licensee under this Agreement. 




 


	
13.3.
	
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.1 AND 13.2, THIS LICENSE IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AND RUTGERS MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE LICENSED PRODUCTS OR LICENSED METHODS WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHT.




 


	
13.4.
	
IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE  MANUFACTURE, SALE, OR USE OF THE INVENTIONS OR LICENSED PRODUCTS OR RUTGERS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR LICENSEE INVENTIONS LICENSED HEREUNDER.

Except as set forth in Sections 13.1 and 13.2, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as:




 


	
 
	
(i)
	
a warranty or representation by Rutgers as to the validity or scope of any Rutgers’ Patent Rights or a warranty or representation by Licensee as to the validity or scope of any patent that may claim a Licensee Invention; or

(iv)
	
conferring by implication, estoppel or otherwise any license or rights under any patents or other intellectual property of Rutgers or Licensee other than Rutgers’ Patent Rights and Rutgers’ Technology and Licensee Inventions; or





	
 
	
(v)
	
an obligation to furnish any know-how not provided in Rutgers intellectual property licensed hereunder.




 

 


	
14.
	
PATENT PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE




 


	
14.1.
	
Rutgers shall diligently prosecute and maintain the United States pending patent 




{00055541.1 / 002795}




 


		
applications and issued patents comprising the Rutgers’ Patent Rights using counsel of its choice.  Rutgers' counsel shall take instructions only from Rutgers.  Prior to making filings, and providing reasonable time for Licensee to comment and consult with Rutgers, Rutgers shall keep Licensee informed and apprised of the continuing prosecution of Rutgers’ Patent Rights.  Licensee agrees to keep this documentation confidential. 




 


	
14.2.
	
Rutgers shall give due consideration to amending any patent application to include claims reasonably requested by Licensee to protect the Licensed Products contemplated to be sold under this Agreement.  If Rutgers elects not to file any patent application included within the Rutgers’ Patent Rights in any country, or decides to abandon any pending application or issued patent the Rutgers’ Patent Rights in any country, then Rutgers shall provide reasonable advance written notice to Licensee, and Licensee shall have the right at its sole expense to assume control of the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patent application or patent at its own expense (provided Rutgers shall remain the owner thereof).




 


	
14.3.
	
All unreimbursed costs incurred by Rutgers after the Effective Date for preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining the patent applications and/or patents included within the Rutgers’ Patent Rights, including but not limited to patent applications and patents covered by Rutgers’ Patent Rights and included pursuant to Section 14.4 shall be borne by Licensee.  Such costs shall be payable by Licensee within thirty (30) days of the billing date.  If Licensee fails to pay patent costs in a timely manner as required in this Section, Rutgers may, at its discretion, require Licensee to pay estimated patent costs in advance as a condition for maintaining this license.  If Rutgers licenses the Rutgers’ Patent Rights to a third party licensee(s), then Licensee and such third party licensee(s) shall each share in such patent costs incurred after the dates of such third party license(s).  In principle, such sharing shall be pro rata, so long as the relative markets and scope of license of this License and such third party license(s) are approximately the same; if not, Rutgers reserves the right to make an equitable allocation of patents costs among licensees.  Should a situation arise, where protection of the patent rights licensed under this Agreement requires seeking a declaratory judgment, filing an interference or other exceptional action with potential high costs associated, Rutgers shall consult with Licensee to determine whether Licensee wishes to Rutgers to pursue such action (at Licensee’  expense).  Should Licensee choose not to pursue such actions, Rutgers reserves the right, but is under no obligation to pursue such action at its own expense.




 


	
14.4.
	
Rutgers shall, at the request of Licensee, file, prosecute, and maintain patent applications and patents covered by Rutgers’ Patent Rights in foreign countries.  Licensee consents to the filing of all PCT and foreign patent applications that have already been filed as of the Effective Date. Rutgers shall provide Licensee copies of all PCT and foreign patent applications that have been filed within thirty 




{00055541.1 / 002795}




 


		
(30) days after the Effective Date. Licensee shall notify Rutgers within six (6) months of the filing of the corresponding United States application of its decision to obtain all other foreign patents.  This notice shall be in writing and shall identify the countries desired.  The absence of such a notice from Licensee shall be considered by Rutgers to be an election not to request foreign rights. 




 


	
14.5.
	
Licensee's obligation to underwrite and to pay patent prosecution costs shall continue for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, provided, however, that Licensee may terminate its obligations with respect to any given patent application or patent upon three (3) months' prior written notice to Rutgers.  Rutgers shall use reasonable efforts to curtail future patent costs when such a notice is received from Licensee.  Licensee shall promptly pay patent costs which cannot be so curtailed.  Commencing on the effective date of such notice, Rutgers may continue prosecution and/or maintenance of such application(s) or patent(s) at its sole discretion and expense, and Licensee shall have no further right or licenses thereunder.




 


	
14.6.
	
Rutgers shall have the right to file patent applications at its own expense in any country or countries in which Licensee has not elected to pay Rutgers’ prosecution and maintenance costs for securing patent rights or in which Licensee's license to the Rutgers’ Patent Rights has terminated.  So long as this Agreement remains in effect such applications and resultant patents shall not be freely licensed by Rutgers to third parties within the Licensed Field.  If the Licensee's license to the Rutgers’ Patent Rights has terminated such applications and resultant patents shall not be subject to this Agreement and may be freely licensed by Rutgers to third parties together with non-exclusive rights to the Rutgers’ Technology in such countries.  In the event Rutgers intends to exercise this right, it shall notify Licensee in writing of its intent to do so and the countries where it intends to file patent applications.  Licensee shall then have thirty (30) days to maintain its license to such patent rights and applications (“Prosecution Funding Right”) by notifying Rutgers in writing that it wishes to again add such countries to this Agreement and to pay the applicable prosecution and maintenance costs for doing so.

PATENT MARKING

PATENT INFRINGEMENT




 


	
16.1.
	
In the event that Licensee shall learn of the substantial infringement of any patent 




{00055541.1 / 002795}




 


		
licensed under this Agreement in the Licensed Field, Licensee shall notify Rutgers  in writing and shall provide Rutgers with reasonable evidence of such infringement.  Both parties to this Agreement agree that during the period and in a jurisdiction where Licensee has exclusive rights under this Agreement, neither will notify a third party of the infringement of any of Rutgers’ Patent Rights in the Licensed Field, without first obtaining consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, provided that for purposes of this Section, Licensee’s Sublicensees shall not be deemed to be “third parties” as that term used herein.  Both parties shall use their diligent efforts in cooperation with each other to terminate such infringement without litigation. 




 


	
16.2.
	
Licensee may request that Rutgers take legal action against the infringement of Rutgers’ Patent Rights in the Licensed Field.  Such request shall be made in writing and shall include reasonable evidence of such infringement and damages to Licensee.  If the infringing activity has not been abated within ninety (90) days following the effective date of such request, Rutgers shall have the right to commence suit on its own account or refuse to commence such suit. However, in the event Rutgers elects to bring suit in accordance with this paragraph, Licensee may thereafter join such suit at its own expense.  Rutgers shall give notice of its election in writing to Licensee by the end of the one-hundredth (100th) day after receiving notice of such request from Licensee.  However, Licensee may thereafter bring suit for patent infringement in its own name and if required for standing purposes in the name of Rutgers if and only if Rutgers refuses to commence suit and if the infringement occurred during the period and in a jurisdiction where Licensee had exclusive rights under this Agreement.  However, in the event Licensee elects to bring suit in accordance with this paragraph, Rutgers may thereafter join such suit at its own expense. Such legal action as is decided upon shall be at the expense of the party on account of whom suit is brought.




 


	
16.3.
	
Each party agrees to cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings instituted hereunder but at the expense of the party on account of whom suit is brought for out-of-pocket expenses.  Such litigation shall be controlled by the party bringing the suit.  Each party may be represented by counsel of its choice at its own expense.  Any recovery or damages or settlement amounts derived from any such action shall first be applied to reimburse each party for the total cost of such action, with the remainder to be allocated among the parties as follows: the party bringing the action shall receive from the other party, and the other party shall assign to the party bringing the action eighty percent (80%) of such remainder, and the other party shall receive from the party bringing the action, and the party bringing the action shall assign twenty percent (20%) of such remainder to the other party.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE




{00055541.1 / 002795}




 

 


	
17.1.
	
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Licensee shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Rutgers, its governors, trustees, officers, employees, students, agents and the Inventors (“Indemnified Parties”) against any and all third party claims, suits, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) (collectively, “Claims”) resulting from or arising out of the exercise of the rights granted under this license or any sublicense by Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees.  This indemnification shall include, but is not limited to, any and all claims alleging products liability.  Rutgers shall remain liable for, and the foregoing indemnification obligation shall not include, any claims of infringement arising out of the Inventions, the Rutgers’ Patent Rights or the Rutgers’ Technology and any claims arising out of the gross negligence, to the extent negligence is applicable, or willful misconduct of Rutgers.




 


	
17.2.
	
Throughout the term of this Agreement, and to the extent applicable from and after the date of first transfer of a Licensed Product and for the life of all Licensed Products used or transferred, Licensee shall maintain commercially issued policies of insurance, or a program of self-insurance if such program is approved in advance in writing by an authorized representative of Rutgers, which provide coverage and limits as required by statute or as necessary to prudently insure the activities and operations of Licensee.  The commercial general liability insurance policy, or liability self-insurance program, shall include the interests of Rutgers as an additional insured and provide coverage limits of not less than $5,000,000 combined single limits as respects premises, operations, contractual liability and, if applicable, liability arising out of products and/or completed operations.  Licensee shall provide Rutgers with certificates of insurance for commercially insured policies, or a letter from Licensee’s independent auditors stating its opinion as to the adequacy of any self-insurance program.




 


	
17.3.
	
It is expressly agreed that the insurance or self-insurance are minimum requirements which shall not in any way limit the liability of Licensee and shall be primary coverage. Any insurance or self-insurance program maintained by Rutgers shall be excess and noncontributory.




 


	
17.4.
	
Rutgers shall promptly notify Licensee in writing of any claim or suit brought against Rutgers in respect of which Rutgers intends to invoke the provisions of Article 17.  Licensee shall keep Rutgers informed on a current basis of its defense of any claims pursuant to Article 17.
