10.05  

	
If Licensee is convicted of a felony relating to the manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Products or a felony relating to moral turpitude, Licensors may, at their election, terminate this Agreement by notice to Licensee.

10.06  

	
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.03 hereof, should Licensee fail to pay Licensors any cash, or issue to Licensors or their designees any Marketable Securities, as applicable, when due and payable under this Agreement, then upon thirty (30) days written notice Licensors may, at their election, terminate this Agreement, unless within the thirty (30) day period all delinquent amounts together with interest due and unpaid have been paid in cash, or issued in Marketable Securities (as applicable), by Licensee.  Upon termination of this Agreement by Licensors pursuant to this Section 10.06, the licenses granted by Licensors to Licensee shall terminate and Licensee shall not use Agreement Patents, the Cell Line or the Materials for any purpose and all of Licensee’s rights in Agreement Patents, the Cell Line and the Materials shall be terminated.

10.07  

	
Termination of this Agreement by Licensee or Licensors shall not prejudice the rights of the parties accruing herein.







 



	
10.08  

	
If Licensee terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02 or if Licensors terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 10.03, 10.04, 10.05 or 10.06, then Licensee shall, upon such termination, assign to Licensors all right, title and interest in and to any Dependent Patents and Dependent Know-How (as defined below) developed by or for Licensee or Affiliates during the term of this Agreement, and shall, within thirty (30) days of termination, provide copies of all documents and other materials embodying Dependent Know-How to Licensors.  As used in this Section 10.08, the term “Dependent Patents” means any U.S. or foreign patent application or patent which claims an invention the practice of which would infringe a claim of a patent or patent application of the Agreement Patents or the practice of which results in a product covered by a claim of a patent or patent application of Agreement Patents.  “Dependent Know-How” means confidential information, including clinical trial information, the practical application of which would infringe a claim of a patent or patent application of Agreement Patents, or which results in a product covered by a claim of a patent or patent application of Agreement Patents. Licensee agrees to take all actions and execute any and all documents reasonably requested by Licensors to effectuate the terms of this Section 10.08.  During the time period between notice of termination and the effective date of termination Licensee will take whatever actions are necessary to prevent any Dependent Patent from becoming abandoned or canceled.







 



	
10.09  

	
If Licensee terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02 or if Licensors terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 10.03, 10.04, 10.05 or 10.06, Licensee shall submit a final Royalty Report to Licensors and any payments and patent costs due to Licensors hereunder as of the date of termination shall be payable within thirty (30) days of the date of termination.

10.10  

	
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no termination of this Agreement shall be construed as a termination of any valid sublicense of any Sublicensee hereunder, and thereafter each such Sublicensee shall be considered a direct licensee of Licensors, provided that (i) such Sublicensee is not in material breach of its sublicense agreement with Licensee, and (ii) such Sublicensee agrees in writing to assume all applicable obligations of Licensee under this Agreement.

This indemnity is conditioned upon Licensors’ obligation to: (i) advise Licensee of any claim or lawsuit, in writing promptly after Licensors have or the Indemnified Party has received notice of said claim or lawsuit, (ii) assist Licensee and its representatives, at Licensee’s expense, in the investigation and defense of any lawsuit and/or claim for which indemnification is provided, and (iii) permit Licensee to control the defense of such claim or lawsuit for which indemnification is provided.







 




  





-12-











  






 



	
12.05  

	
Nothing in this Agreement is or shall be construed as:







 



	
(a)  

	
A warranty or representation by Licensors that anything made or used by Licensee under any license granted in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Cell Line, the Materials and Licensed Products) is or will be free from infringement of patents, copyrights, and other rights of third parties; or







 



	
(b)  

	
Granting by implication, estoppel, or otherwise any license, right or interest other than as expressly set forth herein.







 



	
12.06  

	
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the parties MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTEND NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, AND THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT.  IN ADDITION, NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.







 


IN PARTICULAR, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSORS, THEIR RESPECTIVE TRUSTEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ECONOMIC DAMAGES OR INJURY TO PROPERTY AND LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER LICENSORS SHALL BE ADVISED, SHALL HAVE OTHER REASON TO KNOW, OR IN FACT SHALL KNOW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE FOREGOING.


 



	
12.07  

	
Licensors and Licensee represent and warrant that, to the best of their knowledge, as of the Effective Date:







 



	
(a)  

	
they have the legal right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of their obligations hereunder;







 



	
(b)  

	
when executed by all parties, this Agreement will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms; and







 



	
(c)  

	
there are no existing or threatened actions, suits or claims pending or threatened against them that may affect the performance of their obligations under the Agreement.

-13-











  






 



	
12.09  

	
Licensee represents and warrants that before Licensee, or an Affiliate or a Sublicensee makes any sales of Licensed Products or performs or causes any third party to perform any clinical trials or tests in human subjects involving Licensed Products, Licensee or Affiliates or Sublicensees will acquire and maintain in each country in which Licensee or Affiliates or Sublicensees shall test or sell Licensed Products, appropriate insurance coverage reasonably acceptable to Licensors, but providing coverage in respect of Licensed Products in an amount no less than (**) (US $**) per claim.  Licensee or Affiliates will not perform, or cause any third party to perform, any clinical trials or any tests in human subjects involving Licensed Products unless and until he/they obtain(s) all required regulatory approvals with respect to Licensed Products in the applicable countries.  Prior to instituting any clinical trials or any tests in human subjects, or sale of any Licensed Product, Licensee shall provide evidence of such insurance to Licensors.  If Licensors determine that such insurance is not reasonably appropriate, they shall so advise Licensee and Licensee shall delay such trials, tests or sales until the parties mutually agree that reasonably appropriate coverage is in place.  Licensors shall be listed as additional insureds in Licensee’s insurance policies.  If such insurance is underwritten on a ‘claims made’ basis, Licensee agrees that any change in underwriters during the term of this Agreement will require the purchase of ‘prior acts’ coverage to ensure that coverage will be continuous throughout the term of this Agreement.







 



	
12.10  

	
Licensee shall exercise its rights and perform its obligations hereunder in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

These laws and regulations, among other things, prohibit or require a license for the export of certain types of technical data to certain specified countries.  Licensee hereby agrees and gives written assurance that he will comply with all United States laws and regulations controlling the export of commodities and technical data, that he will be solely responsible for any violation of such by Licensee or Affiliates or Sublicensees, and that he will defend and hold Licensors harmless in the event of any legal action of any nature occasioned by such violation.







 



	
12.11  

	
Licensee agrees (i) to obtain all regulatory approvals required for the manufacture and sale of Licensed Products prior to marketing or selling any such Licensed Products and (ii) to utilize legally appropriate patent marking on such Licensed Products.  Licensee agrees to register or record this Agreement as is required by law or regulation in any country where the license is in effect.







 



	
12.12  

	
Licensee agrees that any Licensed Products for use or sale in the United States will be manufactured substantially in the United States.







 



	
12.13  

	
Any tax required to be withheld under the laws of any jurisdiction on royalties payable to Licensors by Licensee under this Agreement will be promptly paid by Licensee for and on behalf of Licensors to the appropriate governmental authority, and Licensee will furnish Licensors with proof of payment of the tax together with official or other appropriate evidence issued by the competent governmental authority sufficient to enable Licensors to support a claim for tax credit with respect to any sum so withheld.  Any tax required to be withheld on payments by Licensee to Licensors will be an expense of and be borne solely by Licensors, and Licensee’s royalty payment(s) to Licensors following the withholding of the tax will be decreased by the amount of such tax withholding.  Licensee will cooperate with Licensors in the event Licensors elects to assert, at their own expense, exemption from any tax.

12.15  

	
If any one of the due diligence requirements in Section 12.14 is not met, the license shall terminate pursuant to Section 10.03 and all rights will revert back to Licensors.







 



	
12.16  

	
In the event Licensee (or any entity acting under Licensee’s control or on its behalf) initiates any proceeding or otherwise asserts any claim challenging the validity or enforceability of any of the Agreement Patents in any court, administrative agency or other forum (“Challenge”), the royalty rates set forth in Section 6.01 and the license maintenance fees set forth in Section 6.03 shall be automatically (**) on and after the date of such Challenge for the remaining term of this Agreement. Moreover, to the extent not already covered by Sections 3.01 and 3.02, Licensee agrees to pay all costs and expenses (including actual attorneys’ fees) incurred by Licensors in connection with defending a Challenge.
