the case may be, and cover any Improvement. 


    1.22 "Person" shall mean any natural person, corporation, firm, business trust, joint venture, association,
organization, company, partnership or other business entity, or any government or any agency or political subdivision thereof. 


    1.23 "Product" shall mean any pharmaceutical formulation developed by SGI, its Affiliates or sublicensees during the
term of this Agreement, the manufacture, use or sale of which is either: (i) based upon or derived from any of the Know-How; or (ii) covered by one or more Patents and, but
for this Agreement, would constitute an infringement of a Valid Claim thereof. "Product" shall include Residual Product.

commenced by SGI during the term of this Agreement, to Third Parties under the license and sublicense granted partially exclusively or non-exclusively to SGI under this Agreement. In the
event of any such sublicensing or sub-sublicensing, SGI shall submit to BMS all material terms of any proposed sublicense or sub-sublicense for approval by BMS, which
submission BMS shall consider in good faith and which approval BMS shall not unreasonably withhold. BMS shall provide to SGI its approval, or the basis for withholding approval, of such sublicense or
sub-sublicense within 20 days after submission by SGI of a proposed term sheet containing all of the material terms of the proposed sublicense or sub-sublicense. The
only basis upon which BMS may reasonably withhold its approval of a proposed sublicense or sub-sublicense shall be its reasonable determination that the
proposed sublicensee or sub-licensee does not have the resources or experience necessary to fulfill its obligations under the proposed sublicense or sub-sublicense. BMS may not
reasonably withhold its approval based on competitive concerns. [*] 


    (b) SGI
shall be primarily responsible for all payments due and the making of reports under this Agreement by its sublicensees and shall guarantee their compliance with
all applicable terms of this Agreement. Each prospective sublicensee or sub-sublicensee shall agree in writing (i) (A) to maintain insurance coverage at the same levels and on the
same terms and conditions as set forth in Section 11.5, which insurance shall name BMS as an additional insured, or (B) to maintain a self-insurance plan that substantially
complies with the requirements of Section 11.5, provided that BMS reasonably determines in advance in writing that such sublicensee's or sub-sublicensee's self-insured
plan is adequate given its financial condition, and, at BMS's request (but not more than annually), such sublicensee or sub-sublicensee provides written evidence of such
self-insurance; and (ii) to keep books and records and permit BMS to review such books and records pursuant to Sections 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 and to observe all other applicable terms of
this Agreement. 


    (c) In
the event of a breach by a sublicensee of SGI in the observance of applicable terms of this Agreement, BMS shall be entitled to proceed, at BMS's sole
discretion, against such sublicensee and/or SGI to enforce this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing and BMS's rights thereunder, each sublicense granted by SGI pursuant to this
Section 4.2 shall explicitly provide that BMS is a third party beneficiary of such sublicense.

    4.3  Reservation of Rights by BMS.  SGI acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the right and
license granted to SGI under this Agreement, BMS retains the right to use the Licensed Technology for internal research purposes and in connection with any research collaboration with a Third
Party(ies) commenced prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that BMS may sublicense the Licensed Technology relating to one or more of the Patents set forth in Table 5 of  Exhibit A to
Third Parties only for purposes of developing, manufacturing, marketing or selling products the development of which was commenced
by BMS. 



5.  INITIAL PAYMENT; ROYALTIES.


    5.1  Initial Payment.  In partial consideration of the right and license granted by BMS to SGI under this
Agreement, SGI shall pay BMS a license fee of $[*] within 10 days after the date of this Agreement (the
date on which such payment is made, the "Effective Date"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, such fee shall be non-refundable and non-creditable against
any other payments to be made by SGI under this Agreement. 


    5.2  Royalties.  In further consideration of the right and license granted by BMS to SGI under this
Agreement, subject to Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 9.1(b), during the Royalty Term, SGI shall pay to BMS a royalty on Net Sales of Products commencing on the First Commercial Sale of any Product by SGI, its

    5.3  Third Party Royalties.  



    (a) SGI,
at its sole expense, shall pay all royalties accruing to any Third Party after the Effective Date that result from SGI's or its Affiliates' or sublicensees'
activities and that SGI determines, in its reasonable business judgment, are necessary in order to exercise SGI's rights hereunder to make, have made, use, sell or have sold any Product (all such
royalties, "Third Party Royalties"). 


    (b) SGI
shall be entitled to a credit against royalties payable to BMS under this Agreement as follows: 



    (i)  If
the aggregate Third Party Royalties and royalties under Section 5.2(a) payable to BMS by SGI with respect to Net Sales of Products covered by the
BR96-sFv-PE4O Program during a calendar quarter exceed an amount equal to [*]% of such Net Sales, then SGI shall be entitled to a credit against
royalties payable to BMS under Section 5.2(a) with respect to such Net Sales in an amount equal to [*]% of such excess, but in no event shall the royalties due under
Section 5.2(a) be reduced to less than [*]% of such Net Sales. 


    (ii) If
the aggregate Third Party Royalties and royalties under Section 5.2(b) payable to BMS by SGI with respect to Net Sales of Products covered by the
BR96/Drug Conjugate Program during a calendar quarter exceed an amount equal to [*]% of such Net Sales, then SGI shall be entitled to a credit against royalties payable to BMS
under Section 5.2(b) with respect to such Net Sales in an amount equal to [*]% of such excess, but in no event shall the royalties due under Section 5.2(b) be
reduced to less than [*]% of such Net Sales. 


    (iii) If
the aggregate Third Party Royalties and royalties under Section 5.2(c) payable to BMS by SGI with respect to Net Sales of Products covered by the
G28-5 sFv/Immunotoxin Program during a calendar quarter exceed an amount equal to [*]% of such Net Sales, then SGI shall be entitled to a credit against royalties
payable to BMS under Section 5.2(c) with respect to such Net Sales in an amount equal to [*]% of such excess, but in no event shall the royalties due under
Section 5.2(c) be reduced to less than [*]% of such Net Sales. 





    5.4  Reduction for Generic Competition.  With respect to any country in the Territory where a Product is
a Generic Product, the royalties payable to BMS under Section 5.2 with respect to Net Sales of such Product in such country shall be reduced by 50%, commencing with the calendar quarter during
which such Product first becomes a Generic Product in such country. Such reduction shall be in lieu of any other reduction with respect to such royalties under this Agreement to which SGI otherwise
would be entitled. 


    5.5  Obligation to Pay Royalties.  In the event that more than one royalty rate under Section 5.2
applies with respect to the Net Sales of any Product, SGI shall pay royalties with respect to such Net Sales at the highest applicable rate. There shall be no obligation to pay royalties to BMS under
this Section 5 on sales of Products among SGI, its Affiliates and its sublicensees, but in such instances the obligation to pay royalties shall arise upon the sale by SGI, its Affiliates or its
sublicensees to unrelated Third Parties. 


6.  BMS IN-LICENSE EXPENSES.


    6.1  Generally.  In further consideration of the right and license granted to SGI under this Agreement,
SGI shall be solely responsible for the payment of all costs, fees, milestone payments, royalties and other expenses (collectively, "BMS In-License Expenses") that accrue and become
payable by BMS under the several BMS In-Licenses, as may be amended or renegotiated from time to time, on or after the Effective Date, and for the making of all required reports associated
with any such payments. All royalties paid by SGI with respect to Net Sales of a Product that is covered by the BR96-sFv-PE4O Program, the BR96/Drug Conjugate Program or the
G28-5 sFv/Immunotoxin Program 


9





 



that constitute BMS In-License Expenses shall be deemed to be Third Party Royalties with respect to Net Sales of such Product for purposes of Section 5.3. SGI acknowledges that it
has received a complete and correct copy of all of the BMS In-Licenses. 


    6.2  Notices of Payment.  



    (a) Within
20 days after SGI pays any BMS In-License Expense other than royalties, SGI shall provide notice of such payment to BMS. Each such notice
shall set forth the amount of such payment and the reason such payment was made. 


    (b) In
conjunction with each royalty statement provided by SGI under Section 7.1, SGI shall provide a statement of all royalties paid by SGI as BMS
In-License Expense since the date of the last previous such statement provided by SGI. Each such report shall set forth the calculation of the royalties paid by SGI as BMS
In-License Expenses during the relevant period. 




    6.3  Payments Non-Creditable.  Except as expressly set forth in Section 5.3(b), SGI's
payment of BMS In-License Expenses shall not be creditable against any other payments to be paid by SGI under this Agreement. 



7.  PAYMENTS AND REPORTS.


    7.1  Payment.  All royalty payments payable to BMS under this Agreement shall be paid quarterly within
60 days of the end of each calendar quarter. Each such payment shall be accompanied by a statement, Product-by-Product and country-by-country of
the amount of Net Sales during such quarter and the amount of royalties due on such Net Sales. 


    7.2  Mode of Payment.  SGI shall make all payments required under this Agreement as directed by BMS from
time to time in U.S. Dollars. Whenever for the purpose of calculating royalties, conversion from any foreign currency shall be required, such conversion shall be at the rate of exchange published in
The Wall Street Journal, Eastern U.S. edition, for the last business day of the calendar quarter in which such sales were made. 


    7.3  Records Retention.  SGI, its Affiliates and its sublicensees shall keep complete and accurate
records (specifically including originals or copies of documents supporting entries in the books of account) pertaining to the sale of Products in the Territory and covering all transactions from
which Net Sales are derived for a period of three calendar years after the year in which such sales occurred or such
longer period as may be required under the respective BMS In-Licenses, and in sufficient detail to permit BMS to confirm the accuracy of royalty calculations hereunder. 


    7.4  Audit Request.  At the request of BMS, SGI, its Affiliates and its sublicensees shall permit an
independent certified public accountant appointed by BMS, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice (but in no event more than once per calendar year), to examine those records and all other
material documents relating to or relevant to Net Sales in the possession or control of SGI, its Affiliates or its sublicensees, for a period of three years after such royalties have accrued, as may
be necessary to: (i) determine the correctness of any report or payment made under this Agreement; or (ii) obtain information as to the royalties payable for any calendar quarter in the
case of SGI's failure to report or pay pursuant to this Agreement. Said accountant shall not disclose to BMS any information other than information relating to said reports, royalties, and payments.
The results of any such examination shall be made available to both Parties. BMS shall bear the full cost of the performance of any such audit except as hereinafter set forth. If, as a result of any
inspection of the books and records of SGI or its Affiliates or its sublicensees, it is shown that SGI's royalty payments under this Agreement were less than the amount which should have been paid,
then SGI shall make all payments required to be made to eliminate any discrepancy revealed by said inspection within 15 days after BMS's demand therefor. Furthermore, if the royalty payments
made by SGI were less than 95% 


10





 


of the amount of royalty payments which should have been paid with respect to the period in question, SGI shall also reimburse BMS for the cost of such examination. 


    7.5  Taxes.  All payments due under this Agreement shall be paid in full without deduction except for
withholding taxes, if any, required by law in any country in the Territory with respect to such payment. In the event that SGI is required to withhold any tax to the revenue authorities in any country
in the Territory regarding any payment to BMS due to the laws of such country, such amount shall be deducted by SGI, and it shall notify BMS and promptly furnish BMS with copies of any tax certificate
or other documentation evidencing such withholding. 


    7.6  Interest on Late Payments.  SGI shall pay interest on any payment to BMS under this Agreement that
is not made by the date due hereunder at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 2%, compounded monthly, obtained from The Wall Street Journal, Eastern U.S.
edition, on the business day next preceding the date such payment was due, from such date until payment in full has been made. 


    7.7  Obligations Under Ixsys Agreement.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with
respect to Ixsys Products, SGI shall make reports to Ixsys, keep and maintain records of Net Sales and grant access to such records by an independent accountant to the same extent required of BMS
under the Ixsys Agreement. 


8.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.


    8.1  Representations and Warranties of Both Parties.  Each Party represents and warrants to the other
Party that: (i) it is free to enter into this Agreement; (ii) in so doing, it will not violate any other agreement to which it is a party; and (iii) it has taken all corporate
action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. 


    8.2  Representation and Warranty of BMS.  BMS represents and warrants to SGI that: (i) BMS has
obtained all consents necessary to grant the right and license granted to SGI under this Agreement, including without limitation all consents required under the respective BMS In-Licenses;
(ii) all payments and obligations that accrue under the BMS In-Licenses prior to the Effective Date have been paid, fulfilled or otherwise discharged, or will be paid, fulfilled or
discharged when due; (iii) neither party to the respective BMS In-Licenses has given the other party notice that such other party is in breach under such BMS In-License;
and (iv) BMS has provided to SGI a complete copy of the BMS In-License Agreements. 


    8.3  BMS Disclaimer of All Representations and Warranties.  EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 8.1 AND 8.2,
BMS DOES NOT MAKE ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT, WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED TECHNOLOGY, THE PRODUCTS OR ANY MATERIALS TRANSFERRED TO SGI UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SGI acknowledges and agrees that BMS is licensing the
Licensed Technology to SGI strictly on an "AS IS, WHERE IS" basis and that SGI shall have no claims or causes of action of any kind against BMS with respect thereto. 



9.  PATENTS; IMPROVEMENTS. 


    9.1  Patent Filing, Maintenance and Prosecution.  



    (a) Subject
to Section 9.3, with respect to Patents that are licensed to SGI exclusively under this Agreement and with respect to Improvements relating to or
arising from such Patents, SGI shall have
the first right, in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and expense, to determine the strategies for prosecuting such Patents and to determine whether to maintain such Patents in each country in
the Territory. With respect to Patents that are licensed to SGI partially exclusively or non-exclusively under this Agreement and with respect to Improvements relating to or arising front 



11





 


such Patents, BMS shall have the first right, in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and expense, to determine the strategies for prosecuting such Patents and to determine whether to maintain
such Patents in each country in the Territory. 


    (b) In
the event that the Party having the first right to prosecute and maintain a Patent under Section 9.1(a) elects to abandon the prosecution or maintenance
of any such Patents in any country in the Territory, such Party shall give the other Party notice thereof at least 60 days prior to the date on which such other Party is required by law to make
a filing in order to preserve rights to patent protection in such country, and the other Party shall have the right to do so, at its own expense, in the name of the owning or controlling Party. In the
event that BMS elects to abandon the prosecution or maintenance in any country in the Territory of any Patent licensed to SGI partially exclusively or non-exclusively under this Agreement
and SGI elects to assume such prosecution or maintenance, then SGI shall be entitled to a credit against royalties payable to BMS pursuant to Section 5.2 with respect to Net Sales of any
Product covered by such Patent equal to the amount of the actual costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by SGI in connection with such prosecution or maintenance. In the
event that SGI elects to abandon the prosecution or maintenance in any country in the Territory of any Patent licensed to SGI exclusively under this Agreement and BMS elects to assume such prosecution
or maintenance, then SGI's right and license under this Agreement in such country with respect to the Licensed Technology relating to such Patent shall terminate. 




    9.2  Information; Consultation; Cooperation.  



    (a) With
respect to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Patent pursuant to Section 9.1(a), the filing Party shall keep the other Party informed of its
decisions and actions in this regard by providing a report thereof to such other Party. Further, in connection with any such filing, prosecution or maintenance by either Party, such Party shall
consult with the other Party and in good faith consider and give due respect to such other Party's position with respect thereto. In the event that the sole owning or controlling Party elects not to
file for patent protection or prosecute or maintain such Patents and the other Party elects to do so, such owning or controlling Party shall cooperate with the other Party in such filing, prosecution
or maintenance. 


    (b) In
addition, with respect to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Patent pursuant to Section 9.1(a) that covers an Improvement by a Party that does
not solely own such Improvement, the
filing Party shall cooperate with the other Party in determining strategies for such filing, prosecution and maintenance, and the filing Party shall make its patent counsel available for consultation
with patent counsel for the other Party for this purpose. 




    9.3  Prior Patent Rights.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to
any Patents that have been licensed to BMS under the BMS In-Licenses, the rights and obligations of the Parties under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 with respect thereto shall be subject to BMS's
licensors' rights to participate in prosecution and maintenance thereof, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant BMS In-Licenses. 


    9.4  Improvements.  



    (a) Improvements
that are made by an employee or agent of SGI, solely or jointly other than with an employee or agent of BMS, shall be owned by SGI. Improvements that
are made jointly by employees or agents of SGI and BMS shall be jointly owned by SGI and BMS and treated as joint inventions under U.S. laws applicable to joint inventions. Improvements that are made
by an employee or agent of BMS, solely or jointly other than with an employee or agent of SGI, shall be owned by BMS. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each of BMS and SGI shall retain
its unrestricted rights to make, have made, use, sell and have sold all Improvements that are owned by it either solely or jointly with the other Party. 



12





 


    (b) In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, either Party (the "proprietor Party") develops or acquires the rights to (including the right to license or
sublicense) any Improvements to Licensed Technology that is licensed to SGI under this Agreement partially exclusively or non-exclusively, the proprietor Party shall promptly disclose full
and complete information relating to such Improvements to the other Party (the "non-proprietor Party"). 


    (c) With
respect to any such Improvements, the proprietor Party shall grant to the non-proprietor Party a royalty-free,
non-exclusive right and license, including the right to grant sublicenses thereof, to use such Improvements during the term of this Agreement: (i) with respect to such right and
license granted to SGI by BMS, solely for the manufacture, use or sale of the Products pursuant to the right and license granted to SGI under this Agreement, and (ii) with respect to such right
and license granted to BMS by SGI, (A) if such Improvement is to Licensed Technology that is licensed to SGI under this Agreement partially exclusively for cancer, for any purpose that does not
relate to human cancer; (B) if such Improvement is to Licensed Technology that is licensed to SGI under this Agreement partially
exclusively for linkers, for any purpose that does not relate to monoclonal antibody targeting applications; and (C) if such Improvement is to Licensed Technology that is licensed to SGI under
this Agreement non-exclusively, for any purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the non-proprietor party shall not be entitled to use any Improvement relating to or arising
from the Adept Program to develop, make, use or sell any product (including any Product) having the same primary mode of action as any product (including any Product) being developed, marketed or sold
by the proprietor party. 




    9.5  Prior Improvement Rights; Reporting.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
SGI's rights in and to any Improvements relating to or arising from any Patents that have been licensed to BMS under the BMS In-Licenses shall be subject to BMS's licensors' rights therein
under the respective BMS In-Licenses. Each Party shall be responsible for making all reports to such licensors concerning its respective Improvements. 


10.    PATENT ENFORCEMENT: INFRINGEMENT.  



    10.1  Patent Enforcement.  As soon as it shall have knowledge thereof, each Party shall promptly advise
the other Party of any infringement of the Patents in the Territory by a Third Party. With respect to any Patent that is licensed to SGI exclusively under this Agreement, SGI shall have the first
right, but not the duty, to institute infringement actions against Third Parties. With respect to any Patent that is licensed to SGI partially exclusively or non-exclusively under this
Agreement, BMS shall have the first right, but not the duty, to institute infringement actions against Third Parties; provided, however, that SGI shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to
participate therein at its own expense. For so long as SGI shall continue to participate materially in any such action, BMS shall consult with SGI and take into account each Party's relative interests
in such Patent and such infringement action before entering into any settlement arrangement or other amicable arrangement with respect thereto. If the Party having the first right to institute an
infringement proceeding against an offending Third Party does not do so within 90 days after receipt of notice from the other Party, such other Party shall have the right, but not the duty, to
institute such an action. The costs and expenses of any such action (including reasonable fees of attorneys and other professionals) shall be borne by the Party instituting the action, or, if the
Parties elect to cooperate in instituting and maintaining such action, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the Parties in such proportions as they may agree in writing. Each Party shall execute
all necessary and proper documents and take such actions as shall be appropriate to allow the other Party to institute and prosecute such infringement actions. Any award paid by Third Parties as a
result of such an infringement action (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be paid to the Party who instituted and maintained such action, or, if both parties instituted and maintained
such action, such award shall be allocated among the Parties in proportion to their respective contributions to the costs and expenses incurred in such action. 


13





 


    10.2  Infringement Action by Third Parties.  As soon as it shall have knowledge thereof, each Party
shall promptly advise the other Party of any infringement action instituted by a Third Party with respect to any Product or of any grounds for any such action, regardless of whether such action has
been instituted. In the event of the institution of any suit by a Third Party against SGI for patent infringement involving the manufacture, sale, distribution or marketing of any Product in the
Territory, SGI shall have the right to defend such suit at its own expense, and BMS hereby agrees to assist and cooperate with SGI, at its own expense, to the extent necessary in the defense of such
suit; provided, however, that with respect to any suit involving Patents licensed to BMS under the BMS In-Licenses, BMS shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to participate therein
at its own expense. For so long as BMS shall continue to participate materially in any such action, SGI shall not enter into any settlement arrangement or other amicable arrangement without the prior
written consent of BMS. During the pendency of such action, SGI shall continue to make all payments due under this Agreement. If, as a result of any judgment, award, decree or settlement resulting
from an action instituted by a Third Party, SGI is required to pay damages and/or a royalty to such Third Party, SGI shall be solely responsible for the payment of such damages and/or such royalties
for such Products to such Third Party and shall continue to pay royalties pursuant to this Agreement in the country which is the subject of such action. All royalties paid by SGI pursuant to this
Section 10.2 shall be deemed to constitute Third Party Royalties for purposes of Section 5.3. 


    10.3  Prior Rights.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any
Patents that have been licensed to BMS under the BMS In-Licenses, the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Section 10 with respect thereto shall be subject to BMS's
licensors' rights to enforce and defend against infringement claims with respect to same and all other applicable provisions of the respective BMS In-Licenses. 


11.    INDEMNIFICATION.  


    11.1  By SGI.  SGI, including any successor to SGI, shall, and shall obligate its Affiliates or its
sublicensees, if any, to, indemnify and hold BMS and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all liability, damage to or loss
of property or injury to or death of any person or persons, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) resulting from claims arising out of: 



    (a) negligence,
recklessness or wrongful intentional acts or omissions of SGI, its Affiliates or its sublicensees, if any, and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents, in connection with the use or development of any Licensed Technology; or 


    (b) any
warranty claims, Product recalls or any tort claims of personal injury (including death) or property damage relating to or arising out of the manufacture, use,
distribution or sale of any Product or services by SGI, its Affiliates or its sublicensees, if any, due to any negligence, recklessness or wrongful intentional acts or omissions by, or strict
liability of, SGI, its Affiliates or its sublicensees, if any, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents. 




    11.2  By BMS.  In the event that BMS makes, has made, uses, sells or has sold any Product pursuant to
Section 13.6(c) or (d), BMS shall, and shall obligate its sublicensees, if any, to, indemnify SGI and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with respect
thereto to the same extent as the indemnification required to be provided by SGI in Section 11.1. 


    11.3  Notice.  In the event that either Party is seeking indemnification under Section 11.1 or
Section 11.2, such Party shall inform the indemnifying Party of a claim as soon as reasonably practicable after it receives notice of the claim, shall permit the indemnifying Party to assume
direction and control of the defense of the claim (including the sole right to settle it at the sole discretion of the indemnifying Party, provided that such settlement does not impose any obligation
on the indemnified 


14





 


Party), and shall cooperate as requested (at the expense of the indemnifying Party) in the defense of the claim. 


    11.4  Complete Indemnification.  As the Parties intend complete indemnification, all costs and expenses
of enforcing this Section 11 shall also be reimbursed by the indemnifying Party. 


    11.5  Insurance.  



    (a) In
furtherance and not in limitation of any indemnity obligations of SGI under this Agreement: (i) commencing on the Effective Date and thereafter for the
period of time required hereinbelow, SGI shall obtain and maintain on an on-going basis comprehensive general liability insurance in the amount of $[*] per
occurrence and $[*] annual aggregate combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage liability; and (ii) commencing not later than
[*] prior to the first use in humans of the first potential Product and thereafter for the period of time required hereinbelow, SGI shall obtain and maintain on an
on-going basis products liability insurance (including contractual liability coverage on SGI's indemnification obligations under this Agreement) in the amount of at least
$[*] per occurrence and annual aggregate combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage liability. All of such
insurance coverage shall be maintained with a insurance company or companies having an A. M. Best rating of "A-" or better and an aggregate deductible not to exceed
$[*] per occurrence. 


    (b) Not
later than the Effective Date with respect to the comprehensive general liability coverage, and not later than 30 days prior to the first use in, humans
of the first potential Product with respect to the products liability coverage, SGI shall provide to BMS a certificate(s) evidencing all such required coverage hereunder. Thereafter SGI shall maintain
such insurance coverage without interruption during the term of this Agreement and for a period of at least 10 years after the expiration or termination of the term and shall provide
certificates evidencing such insurance coverage without interruption on an annual basis (by no later than the annual renewal date for such coverage) during the period of time for which such coverage
must be maintained. 


    (c) SGI's
insurance shall name BMS as an additional insured, shall state that such insurance is primary to any valid and collectible insurance available to BMS that

12.    PUBLICATION; CONFIDENTIALITY.  


    12.1  Notification.  Both Parties recognize that the Parties may wish to publish the results of its
development efforts relating to the Products. However, both Parties also recognize the importance of acquiring patent protection on inventions. Consequently, any proposed publication by either Party
on the subject matter of any of the Licensed Technology that is licensed to SGI hereunder partially exclusively or non-exclusively, or any subject matter related thereto, shall comply with
this Section 12. At least 30 days before a manuscript is to be submitted to a publisher, the publishing Party will provide the other Party with a copy of the manuscript. If the
publishing Party wishes to make an oral presentation, it will provide the other Party with a copy of the abstract (if one is submitted) at least 30 days before it is to be submitted. The
publishing Party will also provide to the other Party a copy of the text of the presentation, including all slides, posters and any other visual aids, at least 30 days before the presentation
is made. 


15





 


    12.2  Review of Proposed Publications.  The receiving Party will review the manuscript, abstract, text
or any other material provided under Section 12.1 for the express purpose of determining whether patentable subject matter or Confidential Information (as such term is defined herein) is
disclosed. The other Party will notify the publishing Party within 30 days of receipt of the proposed publication if the other Party, in good faith, determines that patentable subject matter is
or may be disclosed, or if the other Party, in good faith, believes Confidential Information or proprietary information is or may be disclosed. If it is determined by the other Party that patent
applications should be filed, the publishing Party shall delay its publication or presentation for a period not to exceed 90 days from the other Party's receipt of the proposed publication to
allow time for the filing of patent applications covering patentable subject matter. In the event that the delay needed to complete the filing of any necessary patent application will exceed the
90-day period, the Parties will discuss the need for obtaining an extension of the publication delay beyond the 90-day period. If it is determined in good faith by the other
Party that Confidential Information or proprietary information is being disclosed, the Parties will consult in good faith to arrive at an agreement on mutually acceptable modifications to the proposed
publication to avoid such disclosure. The publishing Party of any manuscript, text or oral presentation will acknowledge the other Party for its contribution to the material being published or
presented. In addition, to the foregoing, SGI shall cooperate with BMS to allow BMS to fulfill any obligations it may have under the respective BMS In-Licenses on account of any proposed
publication by SGI. 


    12.3  Confidentiality; Exceptions.  Except to the extent expressly authorized by or required for the
performance of this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties agree that, for the term of this Agreement and for five years thereafter (or any longer term provided for in any BMS
In-License) the receiving Party, its Affiliates and its sublicensees (collectively, the "receiving Party") shall keep, and shall ensure that its officers and directors keep, completely
confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose inconsistent with this Agreement any information furnished to it by the disclosing Party, its Affiliates or
its sublicensees that is marked as confidential or, if furnished orally, that the disclosing Party notifies the receiving Party is confidential within 10 days after such information is
furnished, or any information developed pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, "Confidential Information"). This Section 12.3 shall not apply to information that the receiving Party can
establish: (i) is or hereafter becomes generally available to the public other than by reason of any default with respect to a confidentiality obligation; (ii) was already known to the
receiving Party when disclosed by the disclosing Party, as evidenced by prior written records; or (iii) is disclosed to the receiving Party by a Third Party who reasonably was not known by the
receiving Party to be in default of any confidentiality obligation to the disclosing Party. 


    12.4  Exceptions.  



    (a) The
restrictions contained in Section 12.3 shall not apply to Confidential Information that (i) is submitted by the receiving Party to governmental
authorities to facilitate the issuance of marketing approvals for a Product, provided that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such information; (ii) is
provided by the receiving Party to Third Parties under appropriate terms and conditions, including confidentiality provisions equivalent to those in this Agreement, for
consulting, manufacturing development, manufacturing, external testing and marketing trials; or (iii) is otherwise required to be disclosed in compliance with applicable laws or regulations or
order by a court or other regulatory body having competent jurisdiction; provided that if a receiving Party is required to make any such disclosure of the other Party's Confidential Information it
will, except where impracticable for necessary disclosures, for example to physicians conducting studies or to health authorities, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure
requirement and, except to the extent inappropriate in the case of patent applications, will use its best efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be
disclosed. 



16





 


    (b) Nothing in Section 12.3 shall prevent SGI: (i) in connection with efforts to secure financing at any time during the term of this Agreement, from
issuing statements and sharing information as to SGI's agreements with BMS, achievements made, and the status of the work being done, under this Agreement, so long as such statements or information do
not jeopardize the ability to obtain patent protection on Improvements or disclose technical or scientific Confidential Information; or (ii) from issuing statements that SGI determines to be
necessary to comply with applicable law (including the disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Nasdaq or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by SGI are
traded); provided that, in the case of statements made to or information shared with the general public, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, SGI shall provide BMS with a copy of the
proposed text of such statements sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release thereof to afford BMS a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text. 




    12.5  Limitations on Use.  Each Party shall use, and cause each of its Affiliates and its sublicensees
to use, any Confidential Information obtained by it from the other Party, its Affiliates or its sublicensees, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, solely in connection with the activities or the
