to S&N all assistance reasonably required of Nucryst in connection with S&N’s obligations under
this Section 4.3, and, in such regard, shall make available to S&N all relevant information in

Section 4.7 [***] Claim



After the Original Effective Date, the parties agree to discuss and consider from time to time and
make a determination with respect to the pursuit of [***] from the FDA for [***] claim and [***] and an effective Reimbursement
Approval for a Product ([***] and Reimbursement Approval, a
“[***] Claim”). S&N shall pay all costs and expenses (excluding Nucryst’s internal costs and expenses) of
pursuing the [***] Claim and shall keep Nucryst informed with respect to the status and all
other matters relating to such claim [***] and will consider seriously any comments from Nucryst
with respect to such claim or [***] process. The parties agree that the [***]
Claim shall not be pursued if a party determines, acting reasonably, that the likelihood of
obtaining such [***] Claim is remote or the cost (including any payments required to be
made under Article 6) of pursuing the [***] Claim would not be economically justified to
either party. Each party agrees to offer to the other all reasonable assistance in connection with
pursuing such [***] Claim, including all [***] data related to or arising from
the research, development, manufacture, distribution or use of the Products. In the event that the
[***] Claim is pursued and obtained, but circumstances have changed or assumptions
originally made in determining that it was economically justifiable to pursue the [***]
Claim have not been met, and S&N determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that it is not
economically justifiable to commercially launch and offer the Product for Sale, then S&N shall not
be obligated to commercially launch such Product for Sale, and the payment provided for in Section
6.4.3 shall not be applicable. In these circumstances, S&N may request and Nucryst agrees to enter
into good faith negotiations to reduce the amount of the payment provided for in Section 6.4.3 so
that it becomes economically justifiable to commercially launch and offer for sale the Product that
is the subject of the [***] Claim. However, in the event that no agreement is reached
between S&N and Nucryst as a result of such negotiations, the subject matter of this Section 4.7
may not be submitted by either party to dispute resolution under Section 13.4 of this Agreement or
otherwise.




Section 4.8 Piggyback on S&N Approvals



In respect of any Product for which S&N has lost its exclusivity in any country in the Territory,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the use of Joint Improvements, S&N will
not oppose Nucryst applying for Market Approvals and Reimbursements Approvals in those countries
for those Products and using S&N’s approvals in those countries for those Products (as well as its
generic clinical and test data that it used for its approvals in connection with such applications
in those countries).

Effective Date with respect to the Existing Products), a Marketing Plan. S&N will reasonably
consider any comments that Nucryst representatives to the Project Team may have with respect to any

upon Nucryst acquiring knowledge of such failure or, in any event within [***] days of
written notice thereof being provided by S&N to Nucryst, that Nucryst elects hereunder to withdraw
the exclusivity of the license granted under Section 2.1 and such license shall thereafter become
non-exclusive in respect of all of the Products (except Acticoat Product and Acticoat 7 Product
with respect to Canada and the United States) on the [***] after receipt of such notice in
writing by S&N, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended accordingly.
	 
	 	5.3.3	 	For the purposes of determining whether the relevant diligence criteria set forth in

a result of:

	 	5.3.3.2	 	the failure of Nucryst to provide a Product in the quantities requested by S&N
pursuant to the Specifications set forth in the Supply Agreement;

respective permitted licensees or distributors; or

have not been met and Nucryst has given notice as provided for in Section 5.3, S&N may, once during
the Term, pay within twenty (20) days of the receipt by S&N of such notice from Nucryst the royalty
S&N would have paid to Nucryst if such criteria had been met, and thereupon the failure to meet
such criteria shall be deemed to be waived for the year in question.





Section 5.4 Sales Force and Use of Distributors

distributors from that in effect as at the Original Effective Date, S&N shall give notice to
Nucryst and, either as a result of such notice or Nucryst otherwise becoming aware of such change,
the parties shall at Nucryst’s request meet in a timely fashion thereafter to negotiate in good
faith an agreement to place Nucryst in an equivalent position as if such change had not occurred
taking into account factors including but not limited to the reduced sales price on which the
royalty is calculated as well as any change in the magnitude of Sales and other variables that
result from the change. If Nucryst and S&N do not reach agreement within thirty (30) days of
commencing such negotiations, either party may refer the matter for resolution pursuant to Section
13.4.

in respect of a Product (other than Acticoat Product and Acticoat 7 Product with respect to Canada
and the United States) during the Term, S&N and its Affiliates shall not, either directly or
indirectly, or in partnership or jointly or in conjunction with any Person, firm, association,

- 27 -



beneficiary or in any other capacity or manner whatever, carry on, engage in, be concerned
with or undertake any business or other activities in any way involving silver-based products,
including silver salts, (but excluding silver sulphadiazine products) in the Field and, except for
a period of one year from the date of the acquisition specified hereafter, where the violation of
the foregoing covenant not to compete is a result of S&N either acquiring a corporation or
acquiring assets comprising all or substantially all of a product line or business of a corporation
that includes products in breach of the foregoing covenant. In the event of a breach by S&N of the
foregoing covenant not to compete, the sole remedy of Nucryst shall be to elect hereunder to
withdraw the exclusivity of the license and such license shall become non-exclusive in respect of
all Products (except Acticoat Product and Acticoat 7 Product with respect to Canada and the United

provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended accordingly.




Section 5.7 Product Recalls



S&N shall be responsible for implementing all Product recalls: (a) required by a request, directive
or order of any applicable Regulatory Authority; (b) required by the order of a court of competent
jurisdiction; and (c) required by S&N, acting reasonably and with input from Nucryst (if time
permits). To the extent that the Product recalled was Sold prior to the date of the Original
Agreement or to the extent that the adverse event or complaint resulting in the recall was
attributable to Nucryst, S&N out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such recall shall
be borne by Nucryst. S&N shall handle any such recall in a timely manner and in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations. S&N shall keep Nucryst informed in a timely manner with respect to
any such recall. No communications regarding any such recall shall be initiated by either S&N or
Nucryst with the news media, customers, the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority, except if and to
the extent required by applicable law or regulatory requirement, without the prior written approval
of the other of them, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If a party does
not respond in writing to the other party within the time period requested by the other party,
acting reasonably, and in a timely fashion but in any event within ten (10) days after receipt of
any request for approval, such failure to respond will be deemed to be a response that the party
does not have any comment in respect of the recall. In the event of a recall, the defect giving
rise to such recall shall be remedied as promptly as possible by the party responsible for the
defect.




Section 5.8 Complaints and Adverse Events



Each of S&N and Nucryst shall notify the other party no later than the following business day,
after becoming aware of any report of any serious adverse event or consumer complaint, and within
ten (10) business days after becoming aware of any non-serious adverse events or consumer
complaints, associated with the use of a Product, whether or not determined to be attributable to
Product. Such notification shall be by facsimile or e-mail (with flagged priority). Evaluation,
follow-up and reporting of all adverse events and customer complaints shall be the responsibility
of S&N. Nucryst shall provide all assistance reasonably requested by S&N in the foregoing regard.
Each party shall maintain a record of all reported adverse events.

RECORDS AND PROCEDURES




Section 6.1 Royalties



Subject to Sections 6.2 and 6.3, in consideration for the grant of the license referred to
in Section 2.1.1 and in addition to the event milestone payments provided for in Section 6.4 and
the sales milestone payments provided for in Section 6.5:





	 	6.1.1	 	Smith & Nephew, Inc. shall pay from the United States to Nucryst Biomedical Corp. in
Canada, with respect to a particular Product Sold in Canada;
	 
	 	6.1.2	 	Smith & Nephew, Inc. shall pay from the United States to Nucryst Biomedical Inc. in
the United States, with respect to a particular Product Sold in the United States; and
	 
	 	6.1.3	 	T.J. Smith & Nephew Limited shall pay from the United Kingdom to Nucryst Biomedical
Inc. in the United States, with respect to a particular Product Sold in any country in the
Territory other than Canada or the United States;




within [***] days following
the end of each calendar quarter, a royalty equal to [***] of
Net Sales of such Product (the “Distribution Royalty”) made in that calendar quarter. Each royalty

Section 6.2 Increase in Royalties



With respect to a particular Product during a particular calendar quarter, the Distribution
Royalty shall be increased:





	 	6.2.1	 	by [***] for each [***] that the Gross Profit Margin for
such Product during such calendar quarter exceeds [***], up to a maximum increase
(pursuant to this Section 6.2.1) in the Distribution Royalty of [***] (i.e.,
to an aggregate maximum Distribution Royalty of [***]); and
	 
	 	6.2.2	 	in circumstances where Nucryst is not manufacturing and supplying to S&N such Product
pursuant to the Supply Agreement during such calendar quarter, the Distribution Royalty shall
further be increased (i.e., in addition to any increase pursuant to Section 6.2.1) by [***] of

- 29 -




Section 6.3 Decrease in Royalties



The Distribution Royalty shall be reduced as follows:





	 	6.3.1	 	“Unprotected Competition” means, with respect to a particular Product in a particular
country in the Territory:






	 	6.3.1.1	 	the absence of any Nucryst Patent Rights in relation to such Product then in effect
in such country; and
	 
	 	6.3.1.2	 	a third party is marketing or Selling a product in that country, the Sale of which
would infringe a Nucryst Patent Right that covers such Product if one had been in effect in that
country at that time.






	 	6.3.2	 	If S&N learns of the occurrence of Unprotected Competition in a country in the
Territory in relation to a particular Product, it may give written notice thereof to Nucryst and
thereupon Nucryst and S&N shall negotiate in good faith for the reduction of the Distribution
Royalty applicable in that country to such Product for the period of such Unprotected Competition.
If either party considers these negotiations are not likely to produce a mutually satisfactory
agreement, it may refer the matter to arbitration pursuant to Section 13.4. In no event shall the
Distribution Royalty with respect to such Product in such country be
reduced by more than [ * * * ] (i.e., if pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 the Distribution Royalty was [ * * * ], the maximum reduction pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 would be to reduce such
Distribution Royalty to [ * * * ] on account of that or any other Unprotected Competition
in that country with respect to such Product. The reduction in the Distribution Royalty shall
apply only to that Product in that country for the period of such Unprotected Competition. No
increases in the Distribution Royalty that would otherwise apply pursuant to Section 6.2.1 shall
apply thereafter with respect to such Product in such country for the period of such Unprotected
Competition, The arbitrator shall take into account all factors relating to the market for such
Product for that country, including without limitation, the market share of the competitor.
	 
	 	6.3.3	 	If S&N is unable to make an acceptable (industry standard) Gross Profit Margin in
relation to the Sale of a particular Product in the Territory, Nucryst agrees to negotiate in good
faith with S&N to address possible solutions to such issue in relation to such Product. However,
in the event that no agreement is reached between S&N and Nucryst as a result of such
negotiations, the subject matter of this Section may not be submitted by either party to dispute resolution under Section 13.4 or otherwise.
	 
	 	6.3.4	 	With respect to the Sale of a particular Product in the United States (or other
country in the Territory (i) with “step-down” requirements similar to those in the United States
and (ii) in which there existed at the relevant time Nucryst Patent Rights covering such Product)
following the expiration or other








 









 








- 30 -




termination of the last of the Nucryst Patent Rights covering such Product in such country
(i.e., all Nucryst Patent Rights in any way covering such Product in such country have expired or
otherwise terminated including, without limitation, rights included in the Nucryst Patent Rights
which may have application to, for example, the manufacture of such Product as well as other
products), the Distribution Royalty applicable to the Net Sales of such Product in such country
shall be reduced by [ * * * ] of the then current Distribution
Royalty upon the expiration or other termination of the last of the Nucryst Patent Rights covering
such Product in such country (i.e., if pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 the Distribution Royalty
was [ * * * ], such Distribution Royalty in the circumstances specified in this Section
6.3.4 would be reduced to [ * * * ]).



Section 6.4 Event Milestone Payments



In consideration for Nucryst agreeing to grant S&N a license for the use in the manner specified in
this Agreement of the Nucryst Technology and in addition to the royalty payments provided for in
Section 6.1 and the sales milestone payments provided for in Section 6.5 of this Agreement, S&N
shall pay to Nucryst Biomedical Inc., in the United States, the following milestone payments within
[ * * * ] of the occurrence of the applicable event specified below:





	 	6.4.1	 	three million dollars ($3,000,000) to be paid by T.J. Smith & Nephew Limited upon
receipt by S&N of notice of the granting of the first [ * * * ];
	 
	 	6.4.2	 	one million dollars ($1,000,000) to be paid by T.J. Smith & Nephew Limited upon the
90 day anniversary of the first [ * * * ]. For clarification,
only one such payment shall be made; and
	 
	 	6.4.3	 	[ * * * ] to be paid by Smith &
Nephew, Inc. upon receipt of the [ * * * ] and the commercial launch and offer for Sale

All event milestone payments made by S&N under this Section 6.4 are non-refundable to S&N.




Section 6.5 Sales Milestone Payments





	 	6.5.1	 	Subject to Section 6.5.2, in consideration for Nucryst agreeing to grant S&N a license for
the use in the manner specified in this Agreement of the Nucryst Technology and in addition to the
royalties provided for in Section 6.1 and the event milestone payments provided for in Section 6.4,
S&N shall pay to Nucryst the following sales milestone payments within fifteen (15) days of
achieving each such sales milestone:






	 	6.5.1.1	 	five million dollars ($5,000,000) upon Net Sales in any four (4) consecutive calendar
quarters for all Products in the Territory

quarters for all Products in the Territory exceeding for the first time [***];
	 
	 	6.5.1.5	 	[***] upon Net Sales in any four (4) consecutive calendar
quarters for all Products in the Territory exceeding for the first time [***]; and
	 
	 	6.5.1.6	 	[***] upon Net Sales in any four (4) consecutive calendar
quarters for all Products in the Territory exceeding for the first time [***].





For clarification, each of S&N’s sales milestone payments identified in this Section 6.5 shall be
made only once for the stated sales milestone triggering event. However, more than one (1) sales
milestone may be achieved in a particular four consecutive quarter time period, in which case (if
not previously paid) each such sales milestone payment shall be made by S&N to Nucryst. All sales
milestone payments made by S&N under this Section 6.5 are non-refundable to S&N.




	 	6.5.2	 	The sales milestone payments provided for in Section 6.5.1 shall be apportioned between
Canada, the United States, and the remaining countries in the Territory based on the ratio that Net
Sales in Canada, the United States, and the remaining countries in the Territory, as applicable,
for such Products bear to Net Sales for all countries in the Territory and shall be paid in the
same manner as the royalties specified in Section 6.1.





Section 6.6 Sales Report



Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the Term, S&N shall
provide Nucryst with a detailed report consistent with GAAP and the accounting records and
principles of S&N showing in reasonable detail on a Product-by-Product basis (unless, for the
purposes of the royalty calculations in Sections 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 another basis is required in order








 










 








- 32 -



to calculate such royalty, in which case S&N shall provide the detailed report on that
other basis):





	 	6.6.1	 	the number of units of such Product sold during such calendar quarter;
	 
	 	6.6.2	 	to the extent practicable, the total billings for such Product during such

Nucryst with a detailed report consistent with GAAP and the accounting records and principles of
S&N showing in reasonable detail on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis.




Section 6.7 Records and Audits



S&N will keep and maintain proper and complete records and books of account in such form and
detail as is necessary for the determination of the amounts payable by S&N (on behalf of itself and
its Affiliates and permitted licensees and distributors) to Nucryst under this Agreement and S&N
shall during normal business hours upon fifteen (15) days prior notice from Nucryst make those
records available for audit by a nationally recognized accounting firm designated by Nucryst
(except one to which S&N shall have objection, acting reasonably) for the sole purpose of, and S&N
will only be required to disclose information related to, verifying such payments, revenues, Net
Sales, Gross Profit Margins, costs, expenses and deductions and the correctness of calculations and
classifications in respect thereof. S&N shall preserve such records made in any calendar year for a
period of seven (7) years following the close of that calendar year. In the event that such audit
discloses that the actual royalties or other amounts payable by S&N to Nucryst are greater than the
royalties or other amounts paid by S&N, then S&N shall pay to Nucryst any additional royalties and
other amounts based on the results disclosed by such audit plus interest as provided for in Section
6.10. In the event that such audit discloses that the actual royalties or other amounts payable by
S&N to Nucryst pursuant to this Article 6 are less than the royalties or other amounts paid by S&N,
then Nucryst shall reimburse S&N for any such overpayment based on the results disclosed by such
audit less Nucryst’s reasonable costs of such audit. The cost of such audit shall be borne by
Nucryst unless such audit discloses that the actual royalties and other amounts payable by S&N to
Nucryst are greater by five percent (5%) or more than the royalties and other amounts paid by S&N,
or such audit discloses that the actual royalties and other amounts payable by S&N to Nucryst are
less than the royalties and other amounts paid by S&N, in which cases S&N shall be responsible for
payment of all reasonable costs of such audit to a maximum of the amount of any overpayment by S&N
to Nucryst due to an incorrect calculation of royalties and other amounts payable by S&N and
Nucryst shall be














 



- 33 -



responsible for payment of all other costs of such audit. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Nucryst shall not have the right to conduct more than once, for the same purpose, an audit of the
same information, books and records, whether under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement;
provided, however that if any such audit discloses that the actual royalties or other amounts
payable by S&N to Nucryst hereunder was calculated incorrectly such that a payment by S&N or a
reimbursement by Nucryst is required pursuant to this Section 6.7, then Nucryst shall have a
further right to audit the same information, books and records for the same purpose until such
time as no further errors are found.




Section 6.8 Currency and Conversion



All payments made under this Agreement shall be in United States dollars. With respect to any
payment based on Net Sales Revenue made in a currency other than U.S. dollars, S&N shall convert

contemplated in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Transition Services Agreement,
the Asset Purchase Agreement or the Supply Agreement, it is determined pursuant to the dispute
resolution procedure in Section 13.4 or otherwise by an unappealable decision of a court of law,
that a party owes any amount to the other or to an Affiliate of the other, then without limiting or
waiving, in any respect, any rights or remedies of the other party, the other party shall have the
right to set-off the aggregate amount of such amount owing against, and apply it in full or partial
satisfaction of, any amounts payable by the other party or an Affiliate of the other party,

CONFIDENTIALITY




Section 7.1 Confidentiality



The parties to this Agreement recognize that from time to time one party may disclose to another

therefore agreed that:





	 	7.1.1	 	Except as otherwise expressly authorized in writing by the discloser or
specifically provided for in this Agreement, all Confidential Information of the
disclosing party shall be held in strict confidence by the receiving party and
the
receiving party shall employ or cause to be employed diligent efforts and
reasonable care in order to ensure that such Confidential Information is not
made available to any third party, excepting only as required under this
Agreement or to the directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants of
the receiving party whose duties require disclosure of the same or as expressly
authorized in writing and then (in any such case) only if the parties to whom
such Confidential Information is being disclosed have given to the disclosing
party an enforceable undertaking (in a form of contract used by the disclosing
party in its normal course of business and that that deals with equivalently
sensitive information) not to disclose such Confidential Information to any
other party.
	 
	 	7.1.2	 	Subject to Section 7.1.3, Confidential Information shall not
include
information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure, that the
recipient can demonstrate based on written records was lawfully already in its
possession, that is approved in writing for release by the discloser or that is
obtained by any party to this Agreement from a third party without obligation
of confidence (provided, however, that no third party from which the
information is obtained has any obligation of confidence to any parties to this
Agreement) or that becomes public knowledge otherwise than through the fault
of the recipient or any Person to whom it has disclosed the Confidential
Information.
	 
	 	7.1.3	 	Disclosure of Confidential Information shall not be precluded if such
disclosure is in response to a valid order of a court or other governmental body
or of any political subdivision thereof or is otherwise required to be disclosed
by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a party is required to
make a disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information pursuant to this
Section 7.1.3, it will, except where impractical, give reasonable advance
written notice to the other party of such disclosure and use reasonable
commercial efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information.
	 
	 	7.1.4	 	Confidential Information that is specific shall not be deemed to be within the
public domain merely because it is embraced by general knowledge in the
public domain. Further, any Confidential Information dealing with any














 



- 35 -





combination of features of a specific matter shall not be deemed to be
within the public domain, unless the combination of features and the principle
of operation are in the public domain.




	 	7.1.5	 	Each party to this Agreement shall, upon the termination of this Agreement,
return all corporeal Confidential Information to the owner of such Confidential
Information with a written undertaking that no copies (electronic or otherwise)
have been retained, except that the receiving party may retain one (1) copy in
its legal files solely to allow it to monitor its obligations hereunder.
	 
	 	7.1.6	 	Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that the other party to
this Agreement would suffer irreparable harm as a result of the breach of any of the
non-disclosure and confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 7.1 and
that legal remedies are inadequate; therefore, each of the parties to this
Agreement agrees that, in addition to any damages and other remedies that the
other party to this Agreement may be entitled to as a result of such a breach,
the other party to this Agreement shall be entitled to seek an order from a court
of competent jurisdiction restraining such party from breaching or continuing
to breach any of the provisions of this Section 7.1.
	 
	 	7.1.7	 	The covenants of the parties under this Section 7.1 shall continue in full
force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement by effluxion of
time or otherwise.

the parties agree that the existence of this Agreement and the contents of this Agreement shall
not be disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of the other parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a party is required to make a disclosure of the
other party’s Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 7.2, it will, except where
impractical, give reasonable advance written notice to the other party of such disclosure and use
reasonable commercial efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information.

to file, prosecute or maintain patent protection in any jurisdiction for a Nucryst Improvement that
has specific application within the Field in circumstances where S&N has agreed to develop, market
and sell a Product utilizing such Nucryst Improvement and has so advised Nucryst in writing, S&N

protection for that Nucryst Improvement in that jurisdiction and Nucryst shall cooperate with S&N
with respect thereto, including the execution and delivery of any further instruments or documents
and taking all such further actions and providing all such further information as S&N may
reasonably request in that regard.




Section 8.3 S&N Improvements



Improvements made solely by employees or others acting on behalf of S&N (the “S&N
Improvements”) shall be owned solely by S&N and may be used or practiced by S&N within and outside
the Field. If any such S&N Improvement is required by Nucryst for purposes of this Agreement or
the Supply Agreement or to develop, manufacture or produce Products, then S&N shall be deemed to
have granted to Nucryst a fully paid, royalty free and perpetual license to use such S&N
Improvement for that purpose. S&N shall have the first right to file, prosecute and maintain
protection for S&N Improvements. If S&N at any time fails to file, prosecute or maintain patent
protection in any jurisdiction for an S&N Improvement, Nucryst shall, upon thirty (30) days prior
written notice to S&N, have the right (if S&N does not agree to file, prosecute or maintain such
patent protection in such jurisdiction during such thirty (30) day period), on behalf of S&N, to
file, prosecute, and maintain at Nucryst’s own cost, patent protection for that S&N Improvement in
that jurisdiction and S&N shall cooperate with Nucryst with respect thereto, including the
execution and delivery of any further instruments or documents and taking all such further actions
and providing all such further information as Nucryst may reasonably request in that regard.




Section 8.4 Determination of Inventorship



Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with the U.S. patent law rules and inventorship
shall determine whether or not an Improvement is made solely by employees or others acting on
behalf of Nucryst or on behalf of S&N.














 



- 37 -




Section 8.5 Invention Disclosure



Nucryst shall promptly disclose to S&N and S&N shall promptly disclose to Nucryst details of any
Joint Improvements, Nucryst Improvements or S&N Improvements, as the case may be, which such party
has developed and such details shall be treated as Confidential Information.




Section 8.6 Independent Use of Joint Improvements





	 	8.6.1	 	In circumstances where S&N ceases to have exclusivity pursuant to this
Agreement (for Products other than Acticoat Product and Acticoat 7 Product in
Canada and the United States), without the duty to account or report to S&N
and without S&N’s consent, Nucryst may use any Joint Improvement that
relates to the manufacture or production of any substance coated with
nanocrystalline silver or the process of coating any substance with
nanocrystalline silver whether such activity is within or outside the Field,
provided that Nucryst shall not use any such Joint Improvement in any activity
that relates to the design or configuration (e.g., combination of materials, (or
processes to achieve such combination) shape, size and physical specifications)
of any Product that S&N had in the commercial market or in active
development when it lost its exclusivity pursuant to this Agreement, provided
such design or configuration is inventive and is not trivial, obvious or in the
public domain. For clarification, this proviso is not intended to stop Nucryst
from simply coating a product of a competitor of S&N so long as Nucryst does
not use any such design or configuration developed in collaboration with S&N
as aforesaid.
	 
	 	8.6.2	 	Without the duty to account or report to Nucryst and without Nucryst’s
consent, S&N may use any Joint Improvement in relation to the design and
configuration (as described and qualified in Section 8.6.1) of any Product
inside or outside the Field.





Section 8.7 Prosecution and Maintenance of Joint Patents





	 	8.7.1	 	Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance. S&N shall have the primary
right, but not the obligation, to assume, with respect to each Joint Improvement, the
responsibility for filing, prosecuting and maintaining patent applications with
respect to such Joint Improvements. If S&N at any time fails to file, prosecute or
maintain patent protection in any jurisdiction for a Joint Improvement, Nucryst
shall, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to S&N, have the right to file,
prosecute and maintain patent protection for that Joint Improvement in that
jurisdiction. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all reasonable costs incurred with
respect to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications and patents
covering Joint Improvements, including fees and expenses of patent counsel, shall be
borne equally by the parties. Notwithstanding that one party may be delegated
responsibility for filing, prosecuting and maintaining patent applications with
respect to a particular Joint Improvement, the other party must approve in writing
the taking of any














 



- 38 -





material action with respect thereto including without limitation approving
any patent application prior to filing. Both Nucryst and S&N shall have the
right to participate fully in the formation and implementation of patent
strategies for such Joint Improvements. Failing agreement, S&N shall have the
right to conduct the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any such patents or
patent applications (and any material action in relation thereto) at its own
cost.




	 	8.7.2	 	Cooperation. Each party shall make available to the other party or
its authorized attorneys, agents or representatives, its employees, agents or
consultants necessary or appropriate to enable the appropriate party to file,
prosecute and maintain patent applications and resulting patents with respect to all
Joint Improvements, for a period of time sufficient for such party to obtain the
assistance it needs from such personnel. All reasonable costs incurred by either party
in providing such cooperation shall be shared by the parties as provided in Section
8.7.1.





Section 8.8 No Waiver



For the avoidance of doubt, by entering into this Agreement, and subject to the licenses granted
in this Agreement, neither party waives or forfeits any of its rights to any intellectual property
that it owns and that exists at or after the Original Effective Date.




ARTICLE 9

PATENT INFRINGEMENT




Section 9.1 Infringement by Third parties





	 	9.1.1	 	Notification. If either party becomes aware of any facts that indicate the
likelihood that any intellectual property in any Product, Acticoat Trade-mark,
Nanocrystalline Marks, or Joint Improvement is being infringed by any Person,
or if any Person wrongfully engages in any activity in the Territory that is
covered by the Nucryst Technology, that party shall inform the other party in
writing of those facts in reasonable detail.
	 
	 	9.1.2	 	Initiate Proceedings. If the perceived infringing activity relates
primarily to an activity within the Field, then S&N shall have the primary right, but not the
obligation, to initiate, prosecute and control any action or proceeding with
respect to such perceived infringement at its own cost, provided that if S&N
fails to initiate proceedings and attend to remedy such infringement within
ninety (90) days of receiving written notice of such infringement then Nucryst
may bring and control any such action. Otherwise Nucryst shall have the
primary right but not the obligation, to initiate, prosecute and control any
action or proceeding with respect to any such infringement at its own cost,
provided that if Nucryst fails to initiate proceedings or attend to remedy such
infringement within ninety (90) days of receiving written notice of such
infringement then S&N may bring and control any such action. In either case
if one party initiates proceedings and attends to remedy such infringement then














 



- 39 -





it shall keep the other party informed with respect to such proceedings
and shall permit the other party to participate in all material discussions
concerning such proceedings and the other party shall cooperate and give
reasonable assistance in this regard to the party.




	 	9.1.3	 	Distribution of Awards. Any monetary award received as a result of
proceedings contemplated by this Section 9.1 shall be first used to compensate:






	 	9.1.3.1	 	the party who has primary control over the action for its costs
relating to the action; and
	 
	 	9.1.3.2	 	the other party for its costs relating to the action.






Any award monies remaining after such reimbursement shall be paid to the party
who had primary conduct of the action, provided that if S&N is that party, then
such amounts shall be deemed to be Net Sales received in the quarter in which
such amount is received by S&N.




However, if both parties took primary conduct of the action, then such amount
shall be divided equally between the parties.




	 	9.1.4	 	Voluntary Disposition. No settlement or consent judgment or other
voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section 9.1 may be entered into by either
party without the prior consent of the other party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.





Section 9.2 Claims Against Nucryst Technology and Joint Technology





	 	9.2.1	 	Notice.






	 	9.2.1.1	 	If a third party asserts that a patent or other right owned by it is
infringed by Nucryst’s and/or S&N’s use in the manner prescribed in this
Agreement of any Nucryst Technology, the party first obtaining knowledge of
such claim shall immediately provide the other party with written notice of
such claim and the related facts as are then known, in reasonable detail.
Nucryst shall have the obligation to control the defence and settlement of
any such claim in relation to the Nucryst Technology. If Nucryst fails to
assume the control and settlement of any such claim within ninety (90) days
of receiving written notice thereof, then S&N may control the defence and
settlement of such action. The controlling party shall keep the
non-controlling party fully informed with respect to all matters in
relation to such claim and shall consult with the non-controlling party in
relation to all material decisions concerning such claim and the defence
thereof. The non-controlling party agrees to cooperate and provide
reasonable assistance in defending such claims. No settlement shall be
entered into without the prior














 



- 40 -





written consent of the other party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.




	 	9.2.1.2	 	If a third party asserts that a patent or other right owned by it is infringed
by the use, in the manner prescribed in this Agreement, of any Joint Improvements,
the party first obtaining knowledge of such claim shall immediately provide the
other party with written notice of such claim and the related facts as are then
known, in reasonable detail. S&N shall have the primary right, but not the
obligation, to control the defence and settlement of any such claim. If S&N fails
to assume the control and settlement of any such claim within ninety (90) days of
receiving written notice thereof, then Nucryst may control the defence and
settlement of such action. The controlling party shall keep the non-controlling
party fully informed with respect to all matters in relation to such claim and
shall consult with the non-controlling party in relation to all material decisions
concerning such claim and the defence thereof. The non-controlling party agrees to
cooperate and provide reasonable assistance in defending such claims. No
settlement shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the
non-controlling party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.






	 	9.2.2	 	Damages






	 	9.2.2.1	 	After complying fully with the procedures set forth in Section 9.2.1, any
damages or other payments that result from a claim of infringement as specified in
Section 9.2.1 or that are required to be paid as a result of reaching a settlement
with a third party in the manner prescribed in Section 9.2.1 or is the result of a
judgment from a competent court (which is unappealable or with respect to which the
appeal period has expired) shall be paid:






	 	9.2.2.1.1	 	to the extent that the infringement relates primarily to
the Nucryst Technology as at the Original Effective
Date, by Nucryst;
	 
	 	9.2.2.1.2	 	to the extent that the infringement relates primarily to
the combination by S&N of Nucryst Technology with
technology possessed by S&N or another Person, by
S&N; or
	 
	 	9.2.2.1.3	 	to the extent that the infringement relates primarily to a
Joint Improvement or to any Improvement included as
part of the Nucryst Technology after the Original
Effective Date, equally by S&N and Nucryst.














 



- 41 -





Finally, the reasonable costs and expenses of Nucryst and S&N in defending
and settling any such action shall be also dealt with accordingly.



ARTICLE 10

shareholders, employees, agents and their successors and permitted assigns) (collectively the “S&N
Indemnitees”) free and harmless from any claims, demands, liabilities, losses, actions or causes
of actions, and any and all expenses associated therewith (including without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, reasonable defence costs and legal fees), arising out of or in
connection with, or that are the result of, or are otherwise related to: (i) any claim, suit,
proceeding or cause of action against any of the S&N Indemnitees alleging physical injury
(including death) or property damage as a result of the acts or omissions of Nucryst or its

any covenants or obligations under this Agreement (including the Original Agreement), except to
the extent attributable to any one or more of the S&N Indemnitees; (iii) Nucryst’s non-compliance
with any applicable national, federal, provincial or state laws or regulations, except to the
extent attributable to any one or more of the S&N Indemnitees; (iv) for the period specified in
Section 13.10, any breach by Nucryst of any of its representations or warranties under this
Agreement (including the Original Agreement). The liability of the parties included in the
definition “Nucryst” shall be joint and several.




Section 10.2 Indemnification by S&N



S&N shall indemnify and hold Nucryst (its affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, agents and their successors and permitted assigns) (collectively the
“Nucryst Indemnitees”) free and harmless from any claims, demands, liabilities, losses, actions or
causes of actions, and any and all expenses associated therewith (including without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, reasonable defence costs and legal fees), arising out of or in
connection with, or that are the result of, or are otherwise related to: (i) any claim, suit,
proceeding or cause of action against any of the Nucryst Indemnitees alleging physical injury
(including death) or property damage as a result of the acts or omissions of S&N or its officers,
directors, shareholders, employees or agents, except to the extent attributable to any one or more
of the Nucryst Indemnitees; (ii) any failure of S&N to perform, in whole or in part, any covenants
or obligations under this Agreement (including the Original Agreement), except to the extent

included in the definition “S&N” shall be joint and several.














 



- 42 -




Section 10.3 Infringement Indemnification



In the event of any action or threatened action against S&N in which it is asserted that the Sale
of any Product infringes a copyright, patent, or other industrial property right, S&N shall
promptly notify Nucryst of such action or threatened action. If a court of competent jurisdiction
upholds the infringement action in a judgment that has become incapable of appeal, or if an
injunction has been granted, Nucryst shall use reasonable commercial efforts to:





	 	10.3.1	 	procure the right for S&N to continue Selling the allegedly infringing Product;
or
	 
	 	10.3.2	 	replace or modify the Product, as the case may be, so that it becomes non-
infringing but has substantially equivalent capabilities as the infringing
technology.




Without limiting or waiving, in any respect, any rights or remedies of S&N or any Affiliate of S&N
in any other Section of this Agreement, if as a result of an infringement claim in relation to the
Products other than New Products or solely to the Nucryst Technology incorporated into any New
Product, then (a) S&N is required to pay any damages it shall be entitled to recover such damages
from Nucryst, or (b) S&N is required to pay any royalty to the claimant for ongoing rights to
permit continued sale of the Product, S&N shall be entitled to deduct such damages or royalties
from the amount payable to Nucryst under this Agreement (including the Original Agreement), this,
in addition to any application of Section 6.3, being the sole remedy for recovery of such damages
or royalties unless Nucryst has breached any representation given to S&N in Section 12.7.1 in
respect of the said infringement.




Section 10.4 Procedure



The indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party(ies) of any
suits, claims or demands by third parties (“Claim”) which may give rise to any loss for which
indemnification may be required under this Article 10, provided, however that failure to give such
notice shall not impair the obligation of the indemnifying party to provide indemnification
hereunder except if and to the extent that such failure materially impairs the ability of the
indemnifying party to defend the Claim. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the
control, defence and settlement of any Claim or demand of any third party at its own cost and
expense; provided, however, that the other party shall have the right to be represented by its own
counsel at its own cost in such matters. In the event that the indemnifying party shall decline to
assume control of any such Claim, the party entitled to indemnification shall be entitled to
assume such defence of, and settle such Claim, all at the sole cost and expense of the
indemnifying party. Neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall settle or
dispose of any such matter in any manner which would adversely impact the rights and interests of
the other party without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Each party shall cooperate with the other party and its counsel in the
course of the defence of any such Claim, such cooperation to include using reasonable efforts to
provide or make available documents, information and witnesses.

royalties thereon (and any other payments) as required under this Agreement (including without
limitation Article 6) and shall submit the reports required by this Agreement (including without
limitation Section 6.6), and provided further that the event giving rise to termination was not a
failure to pay.

Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release any party from any liability,
obligation or agreement which has already accrued nor affect the survival of any provision hereof
which is expressly stated to survive such termination. Termination of this Agreement for any

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES




Section 12.1 Definition of Party



In this Article 12, a party means one of S&N and Nucryst, and the representation or warranty shall

materially adversely affect such party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.




Section 12.3 Authorization and Enforcement of Obligations



Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it has the corporate power and
authority and legal right to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder;

authorizations of all governmental authorities and others required to be obtained by such party in
connection with this Agreement have been obtained.




Section 12.5 No Conflict



Each party represents and warrants to the other party that the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the performance of such party’s obligations hereunder do not conflict with or
violate any requirement of applicable laws or regulations, and do not conflict with, or constitute
a default under any contractual obligation of such party.




Section 12.6 Authorization of Obligations



The execution, delivery and performance by each party of this Agreement have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not (a) require any consent or approval of
its stockholders or any other third party that has not been received by the Effective Date, (b)
violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,

Nucryst represents and warrants to S&N that as of the date of the Original Agreement:





	 	12.7.1	 	That it is the owner of the Nucryst Patent Rights and that such ownership is
unencumbered by any lien or security interest granted by Nucryst and, to the
Knowledge of Nucryst, it is the owner of the Nucryst Know-How and that all
formal requirements in connection with the maintenance and continuation of
the patents included in the Nucryst Patent Rights (including the payment of
fees and taxes necessary for the continued use of and/or registration thereof)
have been complied with as at the Original Effective Date. Nucryst has no
Knowledge of any reason why any patent included in the Nucryst Patent
Rights would be held to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, of any reason

refused or withdrawn, of any reason why any Person would claim that the
production, use or sale of Products, would infringe its intellectual property
rights or that any trade secret of another Person has been appropriated by
Nucryst in the production or design of the Products. Nucryst has taken
reasonable measures to avoid misappropriation of trade secrets or infringement
of copyright. For purposes of this Section 12.7.1, it is acknowledged that
“ownership” goes to title and not to right to use or exploit, and that title does
not necessarily give the right to use or otherwise exploit.

in the jurisdictions of its formation; and
	 
	 	12.8.2	 	comply in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable laws,
rules, regulations and orders of any government authority to the extent
necessary to perform its obligations hereunder, except for those laws, rules,
regulations, and orders it may be contesting in good faith.















 



- 47 -

S&N represents and warrants to Nucryst that as of the date of the Original Agreement it has
no Knowledge of any issue concerning the invalidity of any claims of the Nucryst Patent Rights nor
does it have any Knowledge of any potential infringement by making, using and/or selling the
Products of the proprietary rights of any third parties.

	 	13.1.1	 	Means an event, the cause of which is beyond the reasonable control of the
party affected thereby and which could not reasonably have been foreseen and
provided against, including, without limitation, acts of God, strikes, lock-outs
or other labour or industrial disturbances, accidents, fires, explosions, weather
conditions materially affecting or preventing work, inability to secure fuel,
power, materials, contractors or labour, mechanical breakdown, failure of

obligations under this Agreement, it shall be relieved of those obligations to
the extent, and for the period, that it is affected by Force Majeure, provided
that the affected party gives the other party prompt notice of such inability and

Section 13.5 Assignment



The Parties agree that this Agreement, (except for assignment by Nucryst pursuant to Sections 13.6
or 13.7 which S&N shall be deemed to have consented to, assignments by S&N as a part of the
disposition by S&N of all or substantially all of its wound care business and the assignment by a
party to one or more of its Affiliates, which may be done without consent provided the party
remains responsible to the other party for the performance of this Agreement by its Affiliate) may
not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligations hereunder be assigned or
transferred directly or indirectly by either party, whether voluntary, by operation of law or
otherwise, without the written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. In connection with Nucryst determining whether to consent to an assignment, the parties
agree that Nucryst shall be deemed to be acting reasonably if it withholds its consent in
circumstances where the proposed assignee is not a corporation of equal or greater financial
resources, marketing strength and expertise (including in the burn and wound care area), and
stature in the burns and wounds industry as S&N. Any purported assignment in violation of this
Section 13.5 shall be void. Any permitted assignee (which includes assignments by Nucryst pursuant
to Sections 13.6 or 13.7 and assignments by S&N as a part of the disposition by S&N of all or
substantially all of its wound care business, but excludes assignments to Affiliates without
consent) shall assume all obligations of the assignor under this Agreement and the assignor shall
be released from all obligations under this Agreement other than the obligations set out in
Sections 13.6 and 13.7 and the assignor shall be released from all obligations under this
Agreement, from the date of such assignment. For clarification, nothing in this Agreement shall
restrict in any manner whatsoever the ability to transfer shares in the capital of Nucryst and its
Affiliates, issue shares in the capital of Nucryst or its Affiliates or to otherwise effect a
change of control of Nucryst or one or more of its Affiliates.




Section 13.6 Right of First Offer



If Nucryst desires to sell assets that include all or substantially all of the Nucryst Technology
in each case, including without limitation assignment of this Agreement (the “Technology Assets”),
Nucryst shall give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to S&N of that desire. The Transfer
Notice shall describe the Technology Assets in sufficient detail to permit S&N to make an informed
decision regarding whether to offer to purchase the Technology Assets and on what terms. During
the [***] (the “Negotiation Period”) immediately following the date the Transfer
Notice is given, Nucryst and S&N shall in good faith negotiate the sale and purchase of the
Technology Assets by Nucryst to S&N. If during the Negotiation Period S&N determines that it is
not interested in purchasing the Nucryst Technology, it shall forthwith advise Nucryst of such
determination in writing, and Nucryst shall be free to sell the Technology Assets to any other
Person on any terms at any time, and the provision of this Section 13.6 shall have no further
application. If during the Negotiation Period Nucryst and S&N reach an agreement concerning the
sale and purchase of the Technology Assets and such sale and purchase transaction is completed,
the provisions of this Section 13.6 shall have no further application. If Nucryst and S&N fail to
reach an agreement during the Negotiation Period concerning the sale and purchase of the
Technology Assets, S&N shall be entitled at any time prior to the expiry of the Negotiation Period
to make an offer (the “S&N Offer”) to purchase the Technology Assets, which offer shall be
maintained in confidence by Nucryst. If S&N does not make the S&N Offer by the expiry of the
Negotiation Period, Nucryst shall be free to sell the














 



- 51 -



Technology Assets to any other person on any terms at any time, and the provisions of this
Section 13.6 shall have no further application. The S&N Offer shall be in writing and shall
indicate the offered price (“S&N Purchase Price”) for the purchase of the Technology Assets and
the proposed terms (“S&N Purchase Terms”) for such purchase. The S&N Offer shall be capable of
acceptance by Nucryst for a period (the “Transfer Period”) ending no earlier than 11:59 p.m.
Calgary time on the [***] following the expiry of the Negotiation Period. The S&N Offer shall
specify a closing date (the “Transfer Closing Date”) for the sale and purchase, which shall not be
earlier than [***] or more than [***] after the date the S&N Offer is
accepted. The S&N Purchase Price shall be paid in cash by S&N on the Transfer Closing Date. During
the Transfer Period, Nucryst shall have the option of either selling the Technology Assets to S&N
pursuant to the S&N Offer or selling the Technology Assets to a third party on terms no less
favourable than the terms of the S&N Offer, having regard for both the S&N Purchase Price and the
S&N Purchase Terms. During the [***] period (the “Free Transfer Period”) following the later of
the expiry of the Transfer Period, or the date it determined that the sale pursuant to an accepted
S&N Offer will not close for any reason other than the default of Nucryst, Nucryst shall be
entitled to sell the Technology Assets to a third party on terms no less favourable than the terms
of the S&N Offer, having regard for both the S&N Purchase Price and the S&N Purchase Terms. Any
transfer of the Technology Assets made after the last day of a Free Transfer Period, other than
where S&N did not deliver the S&N Offer, without strict compliance with the terms, provisions and
conditions of this Section 13.6 and the other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement,
shall be null, void and of no force or effect. The provisions of this Section 13.6 shall not apply
to the transfer of the Technology Assets to a transferee that is an Affiliate of Nucryst; provided
that the Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 13.6. Any assignment of this
Agreement to a third party as a part of the transfer of the Technology Assets pursuant to this
Section 13.6, whether as a result of S&N not making the S&N Offer by the expiry of the Negotiation
Period or as a result of Nucryst selling the Technology Assets to a third party during the Free
Transfer Period on terms no less favourable than the S&N Offer, shall be considered an assignment
to a permitted assignee for purposes of Section 13.5.




Section 13.7 Right of First Refusal



If Nucryst receives from a competitor of S&N in the wound care market a bona fide offer
(“Qualifying Offer”) to purchase the Technology Assets and Nucryst desires to accept the Qualifying
Offer, Nucryst shall give written notice (the “First Refusal Transfer Notice”) to S&N of that
desire. The First Refusal Transfer Notice shall describe the Technology Assets and the proposed
price (“Offered Purchase Price”) for the sale of the Technology Assets and the proposed terms
(“Offered Purchase Terms”) for such sale as set forth in the Qualifying Offer. Nucryst shall not be
obligated to provide to S&N a copy of the Qualifying Offer or disclose the name of the competitor
of S&N that made the Qualifying Offer. S&N shall have the option (the “Purchase Option”) to
purchase all of the Technology Assets for the Offered Purchase Price and on the Offered Purchase
Terms. The Purchase Option shall be and remain irrevocable for a period (the “First Refusal
Transfer Period”) ending on the earlier of (i) 11:59 p.m. Calgary time on the [***] following
the date the First Refusal Transfer Notice is given by Nucryst to S&N; and (ii) 11:59 p.m. Calgary
time on the business day prior to the day the Qualifying Offer expires pursuant to its terms. S&N
may elect to exercise the Purchase Option by giving written notice of its election to Nucryst,
which exercise shall be maintained in confidence by Nucryst. If S&N














 



- 52 -



elects to exercise the Purchase Option, S&N’s notice of election shall fix a closing date (the
“First Refusal Transfer Closing Date”) for the purchase of the Technology Assets, which shall not
be later than the business day prior to the expiry of the Qualifying Offer. The Offered Purchase
Price shall be paid in cash by S&N on the First Refusal Transfer Closing Date. If S&N does not
exercise the Purchase Option or if the Purchase Option is exercised but the transition does not
close by the expiry of the First Refusal Transfer Period for any reason other than the default of
Nucryst, Nucryst shall be permitted to accept the Qualifying Offer or another offer on
substantially similar or better terms at any time during the period ending [***] (the “First
Refusal Free Transfer Period”) after the expiry of the First Refusal Transfer Period. If Nucryst
does not transfer the Technology Assets pursuant to the Qualifying Offer or another offer on
substantially similar or better terms within a First Refusal Free Transfer Period, Nucryst’s right
to transfer the Technology Assets pursuant to this Section 13.7 shall cease and terminate. Any
transfer of the Technology Assets made after the last day of the First Refusal Free Transfer Period
without strict compliance with the terms, provisions and conditions of this Section 13.7 and the
other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, shall be null, void and of no force or
effect. Any assignment of this Agreement to a third party as part of the transfer of the Technology
Assets pursuant to this Section 13.7, whether as a result of S&N not exercising the Purchase Option
or as a result of S&N exercising the Purchase Option but the transaction not closing by the expiry
of the First Refusal Transfer Period for any reason other than the default of Nucryst, shall be
considered an assignment to a permitted assignee for purposes of Section 13.5.




Section 13.8 Consents



In this Agreement where the consent of a party is required, S&N shall be deemed to be one party
and Nucryst shall be deemed to be one party. The execution of a consent by any entity comprising
part of S&N shall be deemed to be the consent of S&N and consent by any entity comprising part of
Nucryst shall be deemed to be the consent of Nucryst.




Section 13.9 Limitation



The maximum aggregate liability of Nucryst under the Supply Agreement, the Asset Purchase
Agreement, this Agreement (including the Original Agreement) and all other agreements and
documents referred therein shall at no time exceed [***]. Neither party shall have any liability to the
other party or any other Person pursuant to this Agreement for any special, indirect or
consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of business
opportunities or loss of business investment.




Section 13.10 Survival



The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement (as it amends and
restates the Original Agreement), in the Schedules annexed to this Agreement or in any certificate
or other document delivered or given pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and
effect (the “Survival Period”) for the applicable limitation period specified under Alberta law as
at the Original Effective Date, except for any representation and warranty in













 



- 53 -



respect of which a claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation is made, which in
each case shall be unlimited as to duration.



A claim for indemnification under this Agreement may be made by giving a written notice asserting
the claim within the Survival Period. Any claim for indemnification made during the Survival
Period will result in the representations and warranties relating thereto remaining in effect for
purposes of indemnification notwithstanding such claim may not be resolved within the Survival
Period. The covenants set forth herein will survive without limitation. All representations,
warranties and covenants and agreements made by the Parties will not be affected by any
investigation made by and on behalf of a party and will not be deemed merged into any instruments
or agreements delivered in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.




Section 13.11 Integration Clause



This Agreement (as it amends and restates the Original Agreement) is the sole agreement
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all proposals, negotiations,
conversations, discussions, agreements and/or representations, whether oral or written, including
any industry custom or past dealing between the parties relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement. The parties agree that any and all obligations between the parties that are outside the
terms of this Agreement (as it amends and restates the Original Agreement) and that relate to the
subject matter of this Agreement that preceded the Original Effective Date have been
satisfactorily executed or are null and void.




Section 13.12 Independent Contractors





	 	13.12.1	 	This Agreement shall not constitute or give rise to an agency, partnership
or joint venture between the parties and each party’s performance hereunder is
that of a separate, independent entity.
	 
	 	13.12.2	 	Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the grant by either party to
the other of any right, title or interest in any product, material or proprietary
rights of the other except as may be expressly provided for in this Agreement.





Section 13.13 Severability and Survival



To the extent that any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or held to be
invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition, invalidity or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.




Section 13.14 U.S. Dollars



Unless otherwise provided, any reference in this Agreement to dollars shall be to U.S.
dollars.














 



- 54 -




Section 13.15 Amendment of Agreement



No change, modification, extension, termination, waiver or other amendment of this Agreement or
any of the provisions contained herein, shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by a duly
authorized representative of each party.




Section 13.16 Governing Law and Attornment

giving effect to the conflict of law provisions thereof) and the parties agree to irrevocably
attorn to the jurisdiction of the courts of Alberta.

Except as set out in the Transition Services Agreement or as otherwise agreed to in writing by
Nucryst and S&N, during the Term, S&N shall not solicit to employ any employees of Nucryst or any
of its Affiliates, nor shall Nucryst solicit to employ any of the former Nucryst employees hired by
S&N pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, so long as they are employed by S&N or its
Affiliates, unless an employee responds directly to a general advertisement for employment that is
posted in a newspaper or on a website of any other form of publication directed at the public in
general.




Section 13.18 No Right to Use Names



Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no right, express or implied, is granted by this
Agreement to use in any manner the name “Nucryst”, “Westaim”, “Smith & Nephew” or any other trade
name or trade-mark of any party to this Agreement or their respective Affiliates in connection
with the performance of this Agreement.




Section 13.19 Counterparts



This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original and shall have the same force and effect as an original but such
counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE CRITERIA





	•	 	S&N will commit to a latest launch of Acticoat and Acticoat 7 to the core sales force in
Jan 2003 at the annual business meeting, although based on priorities this may be pulled
forward. In the interim, as soon as practical after closing, the chronic wound market will
be developed through a focused marketing campaign to develop awareness and interest in the
dual concepts of topical anti-microbial treatment of wound to lower bacterial burden and
remove a potential barrier to healing, alongside the power of nanocrystalline silver in
providing the optimal wound bed for healing. This focused marketing campaign will include
personal selling by S&N’s Regional Area Managers (RAM) and any Transferred Employees that
become part of the RAM organisation and include non personal selling such as journal
advertisements and promotion at major wound care meetings routinely attended by S&N.
Additionally, in preparation for the full launch, S&N will begin a scientific education
program with their existing educational expertise and appropriate clinical opinion leaders.
A similar campaign will occur in Canada.
	 
	•	 	S&N will, as soon as practical after the Effective Date, launch Acticoat into a limited
number of countries (U.K., Ireland and the Scandinavian countries) within the EU and to
other countries outside the EU, subject to obtaining appropriate regulatory approvals
outside the EU, with a target date of September 12, 2001 (European Burns Association
meeting) and promoted specifically to the burns market and under the
Class IIb
classification and with the limited claims available.
	 
	•	 	S&N plans to roll out the product to the remaining countries in EU in Ql 2002.
	 
	•	 	As soon as practical after receipt of the Class III Approval, S&N will launch Acticoat
and/or Acticoat 7 for chronic wound care indications.
