Guaranteed Payment due as of September 30, 2005. DIGENE shall provide ENZO

Royalties report provided in such first annual period pursuant to paragraph 7.1

granted it by ENZO in Article II of this Agreement, DIGENE shall pay LIFE
SCIENCES, on behalf of ENZO and in full satisfaction of the payments owed to
ENZO under this paragraph 3.4, running royalties on Net Sales in the Licensed
Territory (the Running Royalties) based on the following Net Sales levels at

 ** The information omitted is confidential and has been filed separately with
the commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2. In the event the provisions of paragraph 3.6 apply during the term of this
Agreement, the Running Royalties will be calculated based upon the Adjusted
Royalty Rate rather than the rates set forth above. 3.5 All Running Royalties paid by DIGENE for Licensed Products under this
Agreement, and DIGENEs obligation to pay them, shall be irrevocable, subject
only to the following sentences of this paragraph. DIGENEs obligation to pay
Running Royalties for Licensed Products shall extend through and until April
24, 2018, and shall only be relieved prior to that date if all of the claims
of the Licensed Patents are determined to be invalid or unenforceable in a
final judgment from which no appeal has been or can be taken, provided that
neither DIGENE nor any of its Affiliates was involved in any respect with any
proceeding that resulted in such an unenforceability of invalidity finding,
except as required by Court order or otherwise required by law. However, even
if all of the claims of the Licensed Patents are determined to be invalid
and/or unenforceable in a final judgment from which no appeal has been or can
be taken, DIGENEs obligations and duties to pay the First Payment and the
Additional Guaranteed Payments shall survive such a determination, and DIGENEs
obligations and duties to pay Running Royalties incurred up to the date of that
determination shall likewise survive that determination. 3.6 DIGENE shall be deemed a most favored licensee with respect to the Licensed
Patents, with its most favored treatment being limited to the following
provisions of this paragraph: if ENZO as of or after the Effective Date enters
into a license for one or more of the Licensed Patents with a third party other
than DIGENE, at an effective royalty rate (taking into account all
consideration received for the rights granted) that is less than the effective
Running Royalty rate paid and/or owed by DIGENE under this Agreement at such
time, DIGENE shall be entitled to a reduction in the effective rate of its
Running Royalties to a rate not to exceed any such other licenses (the
Adjusted Royalty Rate). In such instances, DIGENE shall be entitled to a
credit against any future Running Royalties in the amount of any such Running
Royalties already paid by DIGENE on sales occurring after the date ENZO entered
into such license with a third party 5

the amount that would have been due ENZO in such periods for sales in
accordance with the Adjusted Royalty Rate; provided, however, that nothing in
this paragraph 3.6 or any other part of this Agreement shall impact in any way
the obligations and duties of DIGENE to pay the entire amounts of the First
Payment and the Additional Guaranteed Payments specified in paragraphs 3.1 and
3.3 above. 3.7 Payment of Running Royalties and Additional Guaranteed Payments.
DIGENE shall pay the Running Royalties, at the rates set forth in paragraph 3.4
or at the Adjusted Royalty Rate described in paragraph 3.6, as the case may be,
on a quarterly basis in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 7.1 of this
Agreement. In each twelve month period beginning October 1, 2004 and ending
as of September 30, 2009 for which an Annual Guaranteed Payment is due, DIGENE
shall credit the Running Royalties paid for each of the four quarters in such
annual period against the Annual Guaranteed Payment due as of September 30 for
such annual period. DIGENE will make the payment, if any, necessary to make
the amount of such Running Royalties equal the Annual Guaranteed Payment for
such annual period on the date when the fourth quarter Running Royalties are
paid for such annual period, which date shall be within 45 days after the end
of such fourth quarter as described in paragraph 7.1. In the event that the
Running Royalties in any of the five, twelve month periods beginning on October
1, 2004 and ending on September 30, 2009 exceeds the Additional Guaranteed
Payment due on September 30 of any of the years falling within that time, the
Parties agree that DIGENE is not entitled to a refund of the difference between
the Running Royalties for that annual period and the Additional Guaranteed
Payment for that annual period, which difference shall instead by kept by LIFE
SCIENCES. 3.8 In the event that DIGENE intends in the future to sell or offer for sale
any product that DIGENE contends is a Future Licensed Product, DIGENE shall,
within no less than thirty (30) days prior to the first such sale or offer for
sale of such Future Licensed Product, provide ENZO with notice in writing of
such intent. Such Future Licensed Product shall thereafter be included as a
Licensed Product under this Agreement, and shall thereafter be subject to all
other provisions and limitations of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, application of the Running Royalties at the applicable rates as set
forth herein to the sales of such Future Licensed Product. Any dispute over
whether a given product is a Future Licensed Product shall be resolved in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph 12.2 of this Agreement. Article IV: WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND LITIGATION RELEASES 4.1 (a) With regard to the Licensed Products listed on Exhibit 1 of this
Agreement, during the term of this Agreement: (1) ENZO covenants that it will
not assert any claims against or sue DIGENE (or its Affiliates, contract
manufacturers, distributors or customers) with respect to any past matter
(i.e., one occurring prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement) relating to
those Exhibit 1 Licensed Products, and (2) ENZO covenants that it will not
assert any claims against or sue DIGENE (or its Affiliates, contract

patent applications) that also cover Licensed Products listed on Exhibit 1,
ENZO covenants that it will not assert any claims against or sue DIGENE (or its
Affiliates, contract manufacturers, distributors or customers) for patent
infringement solely with regard to the foregoing same claims in any existing

claims in any ENZO patents claiming priority from any such existing patents or
existing patent applications), on account of the manufacture (by DIGENE, its

the term of this Agreement, DIGENE covenants that it will not, and its

(except as required by Court order or otherwise required by law) with any third
party in initiating, conducting or defending, any court or administrative

Indemnitee in question shall promptly notify DIGENE thereof in writing, and
allow DIGENE, its insurers and any other entity that DIGENE reasonably deems
necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to assume direction and
control of the defense against such action, claim, suit, proceeding or
investigation, at DIGENEs sole expense, including the settlement thereof at
the sole option of DIGENE or its insurers. Failure by the ENZO Indemnitee to
so notify DIGENE within a reasonable period of time shall relieve DIGENE from
the obligation to indemnify the ENZO Indemnitee only to the extent that DIGENE
suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure. Each ENZO Indemnitee
shall fully cooperate with DIGENE and its insurer in the disposition of any
such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation with regard to all
reasonable requests for such cooperation. 5.3 DIGENE and ENZO agree to negotiate in good faith a potential agreement to
add ENZO as an additional insured on DIGENEs product liability insurance
policy. Article VI: TERM AND TERMINATION 6.1 The term of this Agreement shall begin as of the Effective Date and extend
through and until the earlier of April 24, 2018 or the date by which all of the
claims of the Licensed Patents are determined to be invalid or unenforceable
in a final judgment from which no appeal has been or can be taken, provided
that neither DIGENE nor any of its Affiliates was involved in any respect with
any proceeding that resulted in such an unenforceability of invalidity finding,
except as required by Court order or otherwise required by law. DIGENE shall
be obligated to pay the Additional Guaranteed Payments set forth in paragraph
3.3 of this Agreement, notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement. 6.2 This Agreement is irrevocable with respect to the duties, obligations and
rights of each Party as to the Licensed Products, with the express
understanding that (except as set forth in paragraph 4.1 of this Agreement)
nothing in this Agreement, including the irrevocability provisions of this
paragraph, shall preclude ENZO from asserting against DIGENE in the future a
patent that is not a Licensed Patent with regard to a Licensed Product that is
not listed on Exhibit 1 of this Agreement. Article VII: RECORD KEEPING, PAYMENT AND REPORTS 7.1 DIGENE shall within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar
quarter, time being of the essence, send to ENZO a written statement, certified
by DIGENE, showing for such 11

during the quarter and the calculation of and amount of Running Royalties due.
Such statements shall be accompanied by a payment of the total amount of
Running Royalties due, subject to the provisions of Article III of this
Agreement. Payment shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by
ENZO in advance of the payment. Any late payment shall accrue interest at the
lower of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate
permitted by law. If no Running Royalties are due, DIGENE shall nevertheless
render a statement to reflect such fact, along with a detailed written
explanation of why it contends that no Running Royalties are due. 7.2 Receipt or acceptance by ENZO of any report furnished pursuant to this
Agreement or any sums paid hereunder, shall not preclude ENZO from questioning
the correctness thereof at a later date, subject to the time limitations set
forth below in paragraph 7.4. 7.3 DIGENE shall maintain, and cause to be maintained by its Affiliates,
complete and accurate books and records with respect to Net Sales and all
Running Royalties paid or payable by DIGENE under this Agreement, along with
such other reconciliation and other information as may be necessary or
desirable to calculate or verify all Net Sales and the consideration paid or
payable by DIGENE under this Agreement. DIGENE and such Affiliates shall
maintain such books and records in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied and for a period of three (3) years
after the submission of each report required to be submitted by DIGENE to ENZO
under this Agreement; provided, however, that if there is a good faith dispute
between the Parties continuing at the end of any such three (3) year period
with respect to such books or records, then the time period hereunder to
maintain such books and records under dispute shall be extended until such time
as the dispute is finally resolved. 7.4 ENZO shall have the right, through an independent accountant selected by it
and acceptable to and approved by DIGENE (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), to have access to the relevant books and
records of DIGENE and its Affiliates during reasonable business hours, subject
to the records maintenance requirements set forth in paragraph 7.3, on thirty
(30) days prior written notice, for the purpose of verifying, inspecting or
auditing, at the sole expense of ENZO (except as provided for in paragraph 7.5
below), the Net Sales and the Running Royalties provided for pursuant to this
Agreement for any of the preceding two (2) years, but this right may not be
exercised more than once in any calendar year, and once exercised with respect
to any period, the books and records for such period cannot be reviewed again
except upon written request made by ENZO to DIGENE setting forth a reasonable
business basis for requiring such a subsequent review, as to which request
DIGENE shall not unreasonably withhold its consent. Said independent
representatives shall solicit or receive only information relating to or
necessary or desirable to verify or audit the accuracy of the information
reported and the payments made or due under this Agreement. DIGENE shall be
entitled to withhold approval of an accountant which ENZO nominates unless the
accountant agrees to sign a confidentiality agreement with DIGENE which shall
obligate such accountant to hold the information he or she receives from DIGENE
in confidence, except for disclosure to ENZO of information necessary to
establish the accuracy of the reports and amounts paid or 12

expiration or termination of this Agreement. 7.5 Any underpayment determined pursuant to paragraph 7.4 above shall be paid
within thirty (30) days after the delivery of a detailed written accountants
report to DIGENE and ENZO if neither DIGENE nor ENZO disputes the report. If
the Parties cannot agree with the accountants report following a good faith
attempt to reach such agreement within thirty (30) days, then any such disputed
matter shall be submitted to and determined by an independent accounting firm
acceptable to the Parties, which determination shall be final and binding,
absent
manifest error. The fees and expenses of any such independent accounting firm
incurred in resolving such disputed matter shall be shared equally by DIGENE
and ENZO. In the event of any such underpayment by seven percent (7%) or
more, DIGENE shall also at the same time reimburse ENZO for the out-of-pocket
costs of the verification, inspection or audit conducted, plus interest at the
lower of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate
permitted by law. Any overpayment shall be credited to the next payment due
from DIGENE. If no further payments from DIGENE will be due then a refund of
any such overpayment will be made within thirty (30) days after the delivery of
a detailed written accountants report to DIGENE and ENZO. 7.6 The provisions of this Article VII shall survive the expiration or sooner
termination of this Agreement. Article VIII: NOTICES 8.1 All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be delivered personally, by facsimile, with delivery
confirmed electronically, or sent by certified, registered or express air mail,
postage prepaid, or by reputable overnight courier, and shall be deemed given
when so delivered personally, or by facsimile, or by overnight courier, or if
mailed, three days after the date of mailing, to the address of the Party set
forth below or to such other address as any Party hereto shall notify the other
Party hereto from time to time. However, the Parties further agree that each
Party shall provide the other Party with notice of execution of this Agreement
(along with a copy of the executed Agreement) by facsimile or same-day hand
delivery, with confirmation to follow by any of the other foregoing methods. 13

 Article IX: MISCELLANEOUS 9.1 This Agreement is made under and shall be governed by, and construed and
interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. 9.2 The paragraph headings contained herein are for reference only; such
headings are not a part of this Agreement, nor shall they in any way affect the
interpretation thereof. 9.3 The express or implied waiver by any Party of any right or breach of any
provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a continuing waiver of the
same or other provisions of this Agreement. 9.4 The Parties to this Agreement agree that it is the intention of none of
them to violate any public policy, statutes, or common laws. However, if any
sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same is held to be in
violation of any state or federal law or otherwise unenforceable by a court
from which no appeal is or can be taken, such sentences, paragraphs, clauses,
or combinations of the same shall be deleted and the remainder of this
Agreement shall remain binding. Promptly following the making of any such
deletion, the Parties shall meet and use their best efforts to mutually agree
on acceptable language to be added to this Agreement in replacement of the
deleted language, which replacement language shall be crafted to come as close
as possible to having the same economic effect as the deleted language which it
replaces. 9.5 Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the Parties
hereto shall use its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action,
and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or
advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make
effective the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event that at any time
after this Agreement has become effective, any further action is necessary to
carry out its purposes, ENZO
and DIGENE or the proper directors or officers of either, as the case may be,
shall take all such action without any further consideration therefor. 9.6 This Agreement and the Joint Stipulation and Order of Dismissal with
Prejudice are the final and complete understanding of the Parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof, 14

thereto. Any modifications or renewal of this Agreement shall be in writing
signed by the Parties hereto. 9.7 The Parties to this Agreement may not assign this Agreement in whole or in
part without the other Partys prior written consent, except that without such
consent either Party may assign this Agreement to an entity under common
control with, controlled by or which comes into the control of either Party, or
to a third party which succeeds to all or substantially all of its business to
which this Agreement relates. Any and all other assignments or attempted
assignments by either party shall be null and void ab initioand shall be
without any legal effect. 9.8 This Agreement may be signed by the Parties in separate counterparts, each
of which (including a facsimile copy thereof) when so executed shall be deemed
an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute the original
Agreement. 9.9 No Party shall originate any publicity, news release or other public
announcement, written or oral, relating to this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the terms hereof), without the prior written approval of the other
Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except (after prior written
notice to the other Party) as otherwise required by law or regulation,
including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ( the
Securities Act), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) thereunder, but only to the extent necessary to meet the
Partys disclosure obligations thereunder. Neither Party shall object if the
other Party makes disclosures in its filings with the SEC regarding this
Agreement to satisfy such SEC disclosure obligations, pursuant to the
disclosing Partys good faith belief that it has an obligation to do so.
Moreover, nothing in this paragraph or any other part of the Agreement shall
preclude either Party from making a public statement (without obtaining prior
written consent of the other Party), including a press or news release, limited
to the statement that the Litigation has been settled and a license under the
patent-in-suit was granted by ENZO to DIGENE under that settlement or which
otherwise becomes publicly available as a consequence of the aforementioned
required SEC filings. After the initial publication of such publicity, news
release or other public announcement, each of the Parties shall be entitled to
redisclose such approved information in subsequent publicity, news releases,
other public announcements or filings made with the SEC under the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act without first obtaining the written approval of the
other Party. Should any dispute, controversy or disagreement arise concerning
any content of any such publicity, the disputed language shall not be included
in any
such publicity or otherwise publicly disclosed in any manner unless otherwise
required by law or regulation. 9.10 This Agreement shall not constitute an agreement on the part of DIGENE to
permit ENZO or any of its Affiliates to use any trademarks, service marks, or
trade names of DIGENE. This Agreement shall not constitute an agreement on the
part of ENZO to permit DIGENE or any of its Affiliates to use any trademarks,
service marks, or trade names of ENZO, except as required to comply with

this Agreement, the Parties shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to
resolve such dispute on a mutually agreeable basis. If such dispute,
controversy or difference is not resolved or otherwise settled by the Parties
