22











     Within twenty (20) days of achievement of each respective milestone by Fovea or its Affiliate or Sublicensee as described in this Section 5.2.2, Fovea shall make the corresponding payment to
CombinatoRx.


     If a Licensed Product does not require a Phase II Study, the milestone payment due for such Licensed Product under Section 5.2.2(b) shall be payable at the time payment is due under Section 5.2.2(c).
If a Licensed Product does not require a Phase III Study the milestone payment due for such Licensed Product under Section 5.2.2(c) shall be payable at the time payment is due under the first to occur milestone set forth in Sections 5.2.2(d), (e) or

equals or exceeds Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000).


     Fovea shall only be required to pay each of the two commercialization milestone payments under this Section 5.2.3 once per Licensed Product, regardless of the number of times that either of the
applicable commercialization milestones are achieved.


     5.3 Royalties. In addition to the payments under Section 5.2, Fovea shall pay CombinatoRx, the following royalties based on the Net Sales of
Licensed Products, on a Licensed Product by Licensed Product basis, anywhere in the world:


     5.3.1 Royalty When Patent Coverage Exists. In countries where Patent Coverage exists for a particular Licensed Product sold in such country:


	
(a)      		
four percent (4%) of annual worldwide Net Sales for such particular Licensed Product that is less than Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000);	
	 
	
(b)      		
six percent (6%) of annual worldwide Net Sales for such particular Licensed Product that equals or exceeds Two Hundred Million Dollars	
	 



23










	 	
($200,000,000) but is less than Four Hundred Million Dollars ($400,000,000);	
	 
	
(c)      		
eight percent (8%) of annual worldwide Net Sales for such particular Licensed Product that equals or exceeds Four Hundred Million Dollars ($400,000,000) but is less than Six Hundred Million Dollars
($600,000,000);	
	 
	
(d)      		
ten percent (10%) of annual worldwide Net Sales for such particular Licensed Product that equals or exceeds Six Hundred Million Dollars ($600,000,000) but is less than Eight Hundred Million Dollars ($800,000,000);
and	
	 
	
(e)      		
twelve percent (12%) of annual worldwide Net Sales for such particular Licensed Product that equals or exceeds Eight Hundred Million Dollars ($800,000,000);	
	 



provided, however, that for Net Sales generated by a Sublicensee for a particular Licensed Product the royalty amounts set forth in (a) through (e) of this Section 5.3.1 shall be reduced by one percent (1%) each (e.g., 4% to 3%).
By way of example, if the aggregate Net Sales of a Licensed Product in a particular Calendar Year is $300 million, and comprised of $200 million of Net Sales generated by Fovea and its Affiliates and $100 million of Net Sales generated
by a Sublicensee, then the applicable percentage of Net Sales that are subject to the royalty rate set forth in Section 5.3.1(a) – (e) shall be $200 million divided by $300 million, or two-thirds (2/3), and the applicable percentage of
Net Sales that are subject to the royalty rate in this proviso to Section 5.3.1 shall be $100 million divided by $300 million, or one-third (1/3). Applying such percentages, the amount of royalties payable (by way of example) under this
Section 5.3.1 shall be as follows:


	
2/3 x $200 million x 4% = $5.33 million



1/3 x $200 million x 3% = $2.0 million



2/3 x $100 million x 6% = $4.0 million



1/3 x $100 million x 5% = $1.67 million







	
Total royalties $13.0 million







     5.3.2 Royalty When No Patent Coverage Exists. In countries where no Patent Coverage exists for a Licensed Product sold in such country, then
the applicable royalty rates provided in Section 5.3.1 shall be reduced by Fifty Percent (50%), and shall be paid in consideration for the licensed know-how. By way of example, if the aggregate Net Sales of a Licensed Product in a particular
Calendar Year is $300 million, and comprised of $100 million of sales from countries in which there is no Patent Coverage for the Licensed Product and $200 million of sales from countries in which there is Patent Coverage for the
Licensed Product, then the applicable percentage of Net Sales that are in non-patented countries shall be $100 million 


24











divided by $300 million, or one-third (1/3), and the applicable percentage of Net Sales that are in patented countries shall be $200 million divided by $300 million, or two-thirds (2/3). Applying such percentages, the
amount of royalties payable (by way of example) under Sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 shall be as follows:


	
2/3 x $200 million x 4% = $5.33 million



1/3 x $200 million x 2% = $1.33 million



2/3 x $100 million x 6% = $4.0 million



1/3 x $100 million x 3% = $1.0 million







	
Total royalties $11.33 million







     5.4 Royalty Stacking. In the event that after the Original Agreement Effective Date, Fovea, its Affiliates or Sublicensees determine, based
on the advice of counsel, that it is necessary to pay royalties or other fees to any Third Party to obtain a license to practice any Third Party’s rights relating specifically to composition of matter or methods of use of Licensed Combinations,
and not to the Formulation Technology, in order to market or develop a Licensed Product in any given country, then in such event and subject to Section 5.5, Fovea and its Affiliates may deduct up to 50% of such royalties and other fees actually paid
to such Third Parties (or such amounts expended in settlement of such claim, or for securing such rights) from the royalties otherwise due to CombinatoRx under this Agreement. For the sake of clarity, if it is necessary for Fovea, its Sublicensees
or Affiliates to pay any royalties or other fees to a Third Party to obtain a license to practice the Third Party’s formulation technology, then neither Fovea nor its Affiliates may deduct any portion of such royalties and other fees actually
paid to such Third Parties (or such amounts expended in settlement of such claim, or for securing such rights) from the royalties otherwise due to CombinatoRx under this Agreement.


     5.5 Minimum Royalty. Any reductions set forth in Section 5.4 shall be applied to the royalty rate payable to CombinatoRx under Section 5.3 in
the order in which the event triggering such reduction occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the royalty rate payable to CombinatoRx under Section 5.3 be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) in any Calendar Quarter as a result
of the cumulative reductions set forth in Section 5.4, provided, however, that in the event of a royalty reduction under Section 5.4, the royalty rate payable to CombinatoRx under Section 5.3 may be reduced by up to fifty percent (50%). Amounts not
exhausted in any Calendar Quarter may be carried into future Calendar Quarters.


     5.6 Royalty Term. Fovea’s obligation to pay royalties shall commence, on a country-by-country basis, with respect to each separate
Licensed Product, on the date of First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country. The obligation shall expire, on a country-by-country basis, with respect to each separate Licensed Product, on the later to occur of

	
(a)      		
the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product, and	
	 
	
(b)      		
the expiration date in such country of the last to expire of all Valid Claims providing Patent	
	 



Coverage for the use or sale or Manufacturing (if in the case of Manufacturing such Valid Claims provide market exclusivity of such Licensed Product in such country) of such Licensed Product.


25











     5.7 Sales Subject to Royalties and Milestones. Sales between Fovea, its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall not be considered Net Sales.
Royalties and the Milestones in Section 5.2.3 shall be calculated on Fovea’s and its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ sale of the Licensed Product to a Third Party (including Distributors). Royalties shall be payable only once for any
given batch of the Licensed Product. For purposes of determining Net Sales, the Licensed Product shall be deemed to be sold when invoiced and a “sale” shall not include, and no royalties shall be payable on, transfers by Fovea, its
Affiliates or Sublicensees of free samples of Licensed Product or clinical study materials containing Licensed Product, or transfers of Licensed Product to patients on a compassionate use basis or other transfers or dispositions for charitable,
promotional, pre-clinical, clinical, manufacturing, testing or qualification, regulatory or governmental purposes, or any other use other than as therapeutic pharmaceutical product in humans where Fovea receives no compensation or identifiable
benefit therefrom.


     5.8 Royalty Payments. The royalties shall be calculated quarterly as of the last day of March, June, September and December respectively, for
the Calendar Quarter ending on that date. Fovea shall pay the royalties in conjunction with the delivery of a written report to CombinatoRx within thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter that shows, with respect to each country and
each Licensed Product, the sales volume, Net Sales of the Licensed Product received by Fovea during such Calendar Quarter. Royalty payments shall be paid to CombinatoRx whether the Licensed Product is sold by Fovea or its Affiliates or licensees or
Sublicensees.

	
5.9      		
Records Retention; Audit.	
	 
	 	
5.9.1 Until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Calendar Year in which Net Sales	
	 



are generated by Fovea, Fovea shall keep or require to be kept by its Sublicensees and Affiliates accurate records or books of account in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles showing the information
that is necessary for the accurate determination of the royalties and the Milestones in Section 5.2.3 with respect to such Net Sales.


     5.9.2 Upon the written request of CombinatoRx, Fovea shall permit and shall require its Sublicensees and Affiliates to permit a certified public accountant or a person possessing similar professional
status and associated with an independent accounting firm acceptable to the Parties to inspect during regular business hours and no more than once a year and no more than once with respect to any such year and going back no more than three (3) years
preceding the current year, all or any part of the records and books of Fovea or its Sublicensees and Affiliates, as applicable, as are necessary to check the accuracy of the royalties paid and the Net Sales relevant to the Milestones in Section
5.2.3. The accounting firm shall enter into appropriate obligations with Fovea or its Sublicensees or Affiliates to treat all information it receives during its inspection in confidence. The accounting firm shall disclose to CombinatoRx and Fovea
only whether the royalty reports and Net Sales relevant to the Milestones in Section 5.2.3 are correct and details concerning any discrepancies, but no other information shall be disclosed to CombinatoRx. The charges of the accounting firm shall be
paid by CombinatoRx, except that if the royalties have been understated by more than five percent (5%) or if a Milestones in Section 5.2.3 should have been paid, the charges shall be paid by Fovea. Fovea shall promptly pay any shortages in royalty
payments regardless of amount. Any failure by CombinatoRx to exercise its right under this Section 5.9.2 with respect to a Calendar Year within


26











the time period for which records must be maintained shall constitute a waiver by CombinatoRx of its right to later object to any payments made by Fovea under this Agreement during such Calendar Year.


     5.10 Mode of Payment. All payments set forth in this Article 5 shall be remitted by wire transfer to the following bank account of
CombinatoRx or such other account as CombinatoRx may designate in writing to Fovea:


	
Account Name: CombinatoRx, Inc.

ABA Routing No: 026009593

Swift No: BOFAUS3N

Bank of America

Boston, MA 02110







     5.11 Currency. All payments required under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars. For the purpose of computing the Net Sales in a currency
other than Dollars, such currency shall be converted from local currency to Dollars by Fovea in accordance with the rates of exchange for the relevant month for converting such other currency into Dollars used by Fovea’s internal accounting
systems on a consistent company-wide basis, which are independently audited on an annual basis.


     5.12 Interest on Late Payments. Any amount not paid timely under this Agreement shall bear interest from its due date through the date of
effective receipt of payment at the rate equal to the lesser of the maximum rate allowable under applicable law or three percent (3%) over LIBOR on the date such payment was due or the prime rate reported by the Bank of America.

	
5.13      		
Taxes.	
	 
	 	
5.13.1 General. The royalties, milestones and other amounts payable by Fovea to	
	 



CombinatoRx pursuant to this Agreement (“Payments”) shall not be reduced on account of any taxes unless required by Applicable Law. CombinatoRx alone shall be
responsible for paying any and all taxes (other than withholding taxes or deduction of tax at source required by Applicable Law to be paid by Fovea) levied on it by account of its receipt of any Payments it receives under this Agreement. Fovea shall
deduct or withhold from the Payments any taxes that it is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CombinatoRx is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of the rate of, or the elimination
of, applicable withholding tax, it may deliver to Fovea or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of Fovea to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to
reduce the applicable rate of withholding tax or to relieve Fovea of its obligation to withhold tax, and Fovea shall apply the reduced rate of withholding tax, or dispense with withholding tax, as the case may be, provided that Fovea has received
evidence, in a form satisfactory to Fovea, of CombinatoRx’s delivery of all applicable forms (and, if necessary, its receipt of appropriate governmental 


27











authorization) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time that the Payments are due. If, in accordance with the foregoing, Fovea withholds any amount, it shall pay to CombinatoRx the balance when due, make timely payment to the
proper taxing authority of the withheld amount, and send to CombinatoRx proof of such payment within thirty (30) days following that payment. For the purposes of this Agreement, the stated amount of the Payments payable by Fovea shall include any
sales tax that CombinatoRx may be required to collect. 


     5.13.2 Indirect Taxes. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 5.13.1, this Section 5.13.2 shall apply with respect to Indirect Taxes.
Each of the Parties shall be responsible for the payment of Indirect Taxes assessed against it by law.

ARTICLE 7

Enforcement and Defense of Patents







     7.1 Declaratory Judgment Action. In the event of an assertion of invalidity or unenforceability of Patents Controlled by either CombinatoRx
or Fovea relating to either Licensed Combinations or the Collaboration Combination, the Party receiving notice of such assertion shall promptly advise the other Party in writing of such assertion and of all relevant facts and circumstances known to
such Party pertaining to such assertion. The Parties shall thereafter consult and cooperate fully to determine a course of action, with the Party controlling prosecution pursuant to Article 6, and in the case of Fovea Collaboration Combination IP,
each Party in its own Territory and, in the Shared Territory, both Parties cooperating in controlling the defense of such assertion.

	
7.2      		
Infringement	
	 
	 	
7.2.1 If either Party becomes aware of any activity that such Party believes	
	 



represents an infringement of the claims of Patents Controlled by either CombinatoRx or Fovea relating to either Licensed Combinations or the Collaboration Combination, the Party obtaining such knowledge shall promptly advise the
other in writing of the potential infringement and of all relevant facts and circumstances known to such Party pertaining to the potential infringement. Fovea and CombinatoRx shall thereafter consult and cooperate fully to determine a course of
action, including but not limited to, the commencement of legal action to terminate any infringement of the Patents Controlled by either CombinatoRx or Fovea relating to either Licensed Combinations or the Collaboration Combination, provided,
however, that, 


31











notwithstanding the obligation of the Parties to consult as required by this sentence, the Party controlling prosecution pursuant to Article 6, and with respect to Fovea Collaboration Combination IP each Party in its own Territory
and, in the Shared Territory, the Parties shall cooperate to determine the best course of action. 


     7.2.2 The Prosecuting Party shall have the right to initiate and prosecute such legal proceedings related to infringement at its own expense and in its name, and to control the defense of any
declaratory judgment action relating to its Intellectual Property; provided that, no settlement shall be entered into by the Prosecuting Party without the written consent of the other Party if such settlement would materially affect the other
Party’s interests. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in such effort, including being joined as a party to an action related to jointly owned Patents if necessary, with the reasonable out of pocket expenses of such
joining Party to be paid by the other Party.


     7.2.3 In addition, each Party shall have the right to join in any action against an infringer brought in accordance with this Article 7 if necessary in order to assert the damages incurred by such
Party as a result of the alleged infringement; provided that: (i) the foregoing shall not limit or restrict in any way the rights of the Party controlling such action as determined in accordance with this Article 7 from exercising such control in
its discretion; (ii) in the event one Party joins the other Party in the defense of an infringement action, such Party may elect to participate in up to fifty percent (50%) of the total out-of-pocket cost and expense of such action and consequently
share to the same proportion in any award. In the event that CombinatoRx decides not to join Fovea by way of participating in paying for out-of-pocket costs and expenses, any recovery by Fovea (after reimbursement of its out-of-pocket costs and
expenses), which is intended as a reimbursement for sales lost as a result of such infringement shall be treated as Net Sales for purposes of this Agreement.


     7.2.4 The costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any action against an infringement brought in accordance with this Section shall be borne by the Party controlling the infringement
action, except for actions relating to Fovea Collaboration Combination IP in the Shared Territory, which costs and expenses shall be shared equally by the Parties, unless stated otherwise in this Article 7.


     7.3 Updating Each Party shall keep the other reasonably informed of developments in any action or proceeding relating to the potential
infringement of the claims of a Patent relating to the Licensed Combinations, or Licensed Products, or the Collaboration Combination, or Collaboration Products including, to the extent permissible by law, the state of any settlement negotiations and
the terms of any offer related thereto.

	
7.4      		
Defense and Settlement of Third Party Claims	
	 
	 	
7.4.1 If a Third Party asserts that IP Protection Right owned by it is infringed by	
	 



the importation, manufacture, use or sale of any Licensed Combinations, or Licensed Products, or the Collaboration Combination, or Collaboration Products, or if either Party learns of a claim or assertion that the development,
manufacture, use, marketing, promotion, importation, exportation, offer for sale, sale or distribution of the Licensed Combinations, or Licensed Products, or the Collaboration Combination, or Collaboration Products infringes or otherwise 


32











violates the intellectual property rights of any Third Party, then such Party (hereinafter the “Defending Party”) will promptly notify the other Party in
writing. The Defending Party shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to control defense of actions; and if the Defending Party does not assume control of such defense, then the other Party shall have the right to control such defense at
its own expense. In any event, the Party not controlling such defense will have the right to be represented in any such action at its own expense. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action and
shall consider recommendations made by the other Party in respect thereto. The Party not controlling such defense will assist and cooperate in any such infringement litigation at the defending Party’s reasonable request. If the Party
controlling such defense is not the Party against whom such action was originally brought, then the Party controlling such defense will not agree to the settlement of any such action without the prior written consent of the other Party.


     7.4.2 If Fovea conducts the defense, Fovea will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to determine how and whether to defend against such charge of infringement.


     7.4.3 During the period in which such litigation is pending and following the resolution thereof, the Defending Party shall bear all other costs incurred in connection therewith (including litigation
costs, attorneys fees, costs of settlement) including damage awards and any other payment resulting therefrom in the event Fovea is barred as a result of such litigation from further sales in the country concerned.


     7.4.4 Such application and deduction shall not apply to infringement caused by Fovea’s or its Affiliates’ use of their respective name, trade name, logo or the Patents or knowhow owned or
otherwise controlled by Fovea.

described herein shall be made, either directly or indirectly, by CombinatoRx or Fovea or their respective Affiliates, except as may be legally required by applicable laws, regulations, judicial order, or required by stock exchange or quotation
system rule without first obtaining the approval of the other Party and agreement upon the nature, text, and timing of such announcement, which approval and agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Party desiring to make any such
voluntary public announcement shall provide the other Party with a written copy of the proposed announcement in reasonably sufficient time prior to public release to allow such other Party to comment upon such announcement, prior to public release.
In the case of press releases or other public communications required to be made by Applicable Law or by stock exchange or quotation system rule, to be made, the Party making such press release or public announcement shall provide to the other Party
a copy of the proposed press release or public announcement in written or electronic form upon such advance notice as is practicable under the circumstances for the purpose of allowing the notified Party to review and comment upon such press release
or public announcement. Under such circumstances, the releasing Party shall not be obligated to delay making any such press release or public communication beyond the time when the same is required to be made in order to facilitate review and
comment by the receiving Party.

	
8.6      		
Use of Name.	
	 
	 	
8.6.1 Neither Party shall mention or otherwise use the name, insignia, symbol,

unreasonably withheld or delayed), except for those uses for which consent has previously been obtained. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall agree on the terms of a press release announcing this transaction, and
each Party may thereafter make any additional announcement regarding this Agreement that contains information consistent with such press release. The restrictions imposed by this Section 8.6.1 shall not prohibit either Party from making any
disclosure identifying the other Party that is required by Applicable Law or the requirements of a national securities exchange or another similar regulatory body, provided that any such disclosure shall be governed by this Article 8. Further, the
restrictions imposed on each Party under this Section 8.6.1 are not intended, and shall not be construed, to prohibit a Party from identifying the other Party in its internal and external business communications, press releases and websites,
provided that any Confidential Information in such communications remains subject to this Article 8.


     8.6.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall have the right to use the name of the other Party and its Affiliates to the extent necessary or useful in
connection with the Exploitation of the Collaboration Products and Licensed Products as contemplated by this Agreement, including subcontracting and sublicensing transactions in connection therewith. However, the name “CombinatoRx” shall

harmless CombinatoRx, its Affiliates, Sublicensees and its and their respective former and current directors, officers and employees in full and on demand, from and against any and all Losses to the extent resulting from or arising out of or in
connection with any claims made or suits brought by a Third Party (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) against CombinatoRx, its Affiliates, Sublicensees or its or their respective
former and current directors, officers or employees that arise out of or result from:


39











(a) negligence or willful misconduct by Fovea or its Affiliates concerning their participation in the activities described in this Agreement;


(b) the breach by Fovea or its Affiliates of any of their material obligations, covenants, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement;


(c) the Exploitation of the Collaboration Combination or a Licensed 


Combination or Collaboration Product or Licensed Product by Fovea or its Affiliates, or any actual or alleged violation of Applicable Law resulting therefrom (with the exception of Losses based on infringement or misappropriation
of intellectual property rights); or


(d) the use, storage or handling by any Third Party of the Collaboration Combination or a Licensed Combination or Collaboration Product or Licensed Product, the direct or indirect source of which is Fovea or its
Affiliates;


provided that the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to any Loss to the extent such Loss is caused by the breach of this Agreement or the negligence or willful misconduct of CombinatoRx or its Affiliates and their current
or former employees, officers and directors or is otherwise subject to an obligation by CombinatoRx to indemnify Fovea or its Affiliates under Section 10.2.


     10.2 Indemnification of Fovea. In addition to any other remedy available to Fovea, CombinatoRx shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Fovea, its Affiliates, and Sublicensees and its and their respective former and current directors, officers and employees in full and on demand, from and against any and all Losses to the extent resulting from or arising out of or in connection with
any Third Party Claims against Fovea, its Affiliates, Sublicensees or its or their respective former or current directors, officers or employees that arise out of or result from:

	
(a)      		
negligence or willful misconduct by CombinatoRx or its Affiliates concerning their activities described in this Agreement;	
	 
	
(b)      		
the breach by CombinatoRx of any of its material obligations, covenants, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement;	
	 
	
(c)      		
the Exploitation of the Collaboration Combination or a Licensed Combination or Collaboration Product or Licensed Product by CombinatoRx or its Affiliates, or any actual or alleged violation of Applicable Law resulting therefrom
(with the exception of Losses based on infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights); or	
	 
	
(d)      		
the use, storage or handling by any Third Party of the Collaboration Combination or a Licensed Combination or Collaboration Product or Licensed Product, the direct or indirect source of which is CombinatoRx or its
Affiliates;

provided that the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to any Loss to the extent such Loss is caused by the breach of this Agreement or the negligence or willful misconduct of Fovea or its Affiliates and their current or
former employees, officers and directors or is otherwise subject to an obligation by Fovea to indemnify CombinatoRx or its Affiliates under Section 10.1.


     10.3 Notice of Claim. An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any Loss or discovery of fact upon
which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 10.1 or 10.2 (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”). In no event shall the Indemnifying Party
be liable for any Loss that results from any delay in providing the Indemnification Claim Notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice shall contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of the Loss claimed (to the extent that the nature
and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any such Loss. For the avoidance of doubt, all indemnification
claims in respect of a Party, its Affiliates or their respective current or former directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall be made solely by such
Party to this Agreement.


     10.4 Indemnification Procedures. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Article 10 shall be governed by and contingent upon the
following:


     10.4.1 Assumption of Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice
to the Indemnified Party within fourteen (14) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an
acknowledgement that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any Indemnified Party’s
claim for indemnification.


     10.4.2 Control of Defense. Upon the assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party: 

	
(a)      		
the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and	
	 
	
(b)      		
the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or any Indemnitee in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party
Claim, except as expressly provided in Section 10.4.3. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless an Indemnitee from and against the Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including lawyers’ fees and costs of suit) and any Loss incurred by the Indemnifying Party in	
	 



41











its defense of the Third Party Claim with respect to such Indemnified Party or Indemnitee. 


     10.4.3 Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 10.4, any Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in, but not control,
the defense of a Third Party Claim and to retain counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such retention shall be at the Indemnitee’s own expense unless, (a) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and
retain counsel in accordance with Section 10.4.1 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (b) the interests of the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to
prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.


     10.4.4 Settlement. With respect to Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a
Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.4.1, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Losses, provided that it obtains the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (ii) no Indemnified Party or Indemnitee shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.


     10.4.5 Cooperation. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall
cause each other Indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may
be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours by the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably
relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making the Indemnified Party, the Indemnitees and its and their employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any records or information
provided, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of its related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.


     10.4.6 Expenses. Except as expressly provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of
counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right
to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party. 


     10.5 Limitation of Liability. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for consequential, indirect or punitive damages. For the avoidance
of doubt, no Party can recover from the other Party more than once for a single cause of action under an indemnity granted by an indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing sentence shall not be construed to preclude recovery in
respect of multiple claims arising from a single event or series of events. Neither Party shall have liability with respect to any breach of any of such Party’s representations and warranties under this Agreement for any individual item where
the Loss 


42











relating thereto is less than ten thousand Dollars ($10,000) but when a Loss exceeds such amount then the liable Party shall be liable for the entire amount of the Losses. Each Party shall take and shall cause its Affiliates
to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy a breach that gives rise
to the Loss. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER 


EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF ANY ITEM LICENSED TO THE OTHER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. 


	
ARTICLE 11

Term and Termination







     11.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect, unless earlier terminated

CombinatoRx pursuant to Article 5 (the “Term”).


     11.2 Termination for Material Breach. In the event that either Party (the “Breaching Party”) materially defaults in the performance of any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to the Collaboration Combination or a Licensed Combination, other than the obligations set forth in Sections 3.3 or 4.1
hereof and other than a default described in Section 11.4, in addition to any other right and remedy the other Party (the “Complaining Party”) may have, the Complaining Party may
terminate this Agreement solely with respect to such Collaboration Combination or Licensed Combination by thirty (30) days prior written notice (the “Notice Period”) to the
Breaching Party, specifying the breach and its claim of right to terminate, provided always that the termination shall not become effective at the end of the Notice Period if the Breaching Party cures the breach complained about during the Notice
Period (or, if such default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, if the Breaching Party commences actions to cure such default within the Notice Period and thereafter diligently continues such actions). If either Party initiates a
dispute resolution procedure as permitted under this Agreement within thirty (30) days following the end of the Notice Period to resolve the dispute for which termination is being sought and is diligently pursuing such procedure, including any
litigation following therefrom, the termination shall become effective only if and when allowed through such dispute resolution procedure finally resolved. This Section 11.2 defines exclusively the Parties’ right to terminate in case of any
material breach of contract other than a breach of Section 3.3 or 4.1 hereof.

	
11.3      		
Termination for Material Breach of Diligence Obligations.	
	 
	 	
(a) In the event that Fovea defaults in the performance of any of its	
	 



obligations with respect to the Collaboration Combination under Section 3.3.1, CombinatoRx may, following the applicable periods described in Section 3.3.4(a), immediately upon notice to Fovea, terminate this Agreement solely with
respect to the Collaboration Combination. In the 


43











event that Fovea defaults in the performance of any of its obligations with respect to a Licensed Combination under Section 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, as applicable, CombinatoRx may, following the applicable periods described in Section
4.1.6(a), immediately upon notice to Fovea, terminate this Agreement solely with respect to such Licensed Combination to which such default relates.


     (b) In the event that Fovea defaults in the performance of any of its obligations with respect to the Collaboration Combination under Section 3.3.3, CombinatoRx may, immediately upon notice to Fovea,
terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the Collaboration Combination, if Fovea has not commenced actions to cure such breach within the 60-day period provided in Section 3.3.4(c), or does not diligently continue such actions. In the event
that Fovea defaults in the performance of any of its obligations with respect to a Licensed Combination under Section 4.1.5, CombinatoRx may, immediately upon notice to Fovea, terminate this Agreement solely with respect to such Licensed
Combination, if Fovea has not commenced actions to cure such breach within the 60-day period provided in Section 4.1.6 (c), or does not diligently continue such actions. If Fovea initiates a dispute resolution procedure as permitted under this
Agreement within thirty (30) days following the delivery of a termination notice by CombinatoRx as described in this Section 11.3(b) to resolve the dispute for which termination is being sought and is diligently pursuing such procedure, including
any litigation following therefrom, such termination shall become effective only if and when allowed through such dispute resolution procedure finally resolved. This Section 11.3(b) defines exclusively CombinatoRx’s right to terminate in case
of any breach of the provisions of Section 3.3.3 or 

	
4.1.5      		
hereof.	
	 
	 	
11.4 Termination for Non-Payment. In the event that Fovea fails to pay or cause to	
	 



be paid any royalty or other payment relating to the Collaboration Combination or a Licensed Combination which has become due to CombinatoRx under this Agreement, CombinatoRx may terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the
Collaboration Combination or such Licensed Combination within ten (10) days after providing a written request to Fovea to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made; provided, however, that if any payment is disputed in good faith by
Fovea, then Fovea may delay paying the disputed portion of such payment by invoking the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Article 12. If the dispute resolution procedure results in a final determination that Licensee owes some or all of such
disputed amount, Licensee shall pay such owed amount within ten (10) days of the determination pursuant to Article 12 as provided therein, together with interest thereon from the date such amount was due at one and one-half (1.5) times the prime
rate in effect at such determination as announced by Bank of America. In addition to any other termination rights CombinatoRx may have under this Section, if Fovea fails to pay CombinatoRx such owed amount within ten (10) days of the final
determination as set forth above, CombinatoRx may terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the Collaboration Combination or particular Licensed Combination upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Fovea.


     11.5 Termination Upon Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, if, at any time, the other Party shall file in any court or
agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state, country or jurisdiction, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of that Party or of its assets, or
if the other Party proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, or if the other Party shall be served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency 


44











proceeding, and such petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or if the other Party shall propose or be a party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if the other Party shall make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

	
11.6      		
Consequences of Termination.	
	 
	 	
11.6.1 Return of Material; Termination of Rights.	
	 



     (a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by CombinatoRx with respect to a particular Collaboration Combination, Collaboration Product, Licensed Combination or Licensed Product, then, with

     (b) In the event of termination of this Agreement by Fovea with respect to the Collaboration Combination or a Licensed Combination, then, with respect to such Collaboration Combination or Licensed
Combination: (i) all rights and licenses granted to CombinatoRx under this Agreement shall terminate; provided that, Fovea shall assume all sublicenses of rights granted to CombinatoRx hereunder, which sublicenses have been granted by CombinatoRx
prior to such termination, in accordance with the terms of any such sublicenses, (ii) all rights and licenses granted to Fovea, and Fovea’s obligations under Sections 5.2 and 5.3, shall survive, and (iii) CombinatoRx shall assign to Fovea its

assignment in accordance with the terms of any such licenses. Fovea shall not be obligated to return any Regulatory Documentation, CombinatoRx Generated Data, files, records and other materials in its possession or control containing or comprising
CombinatoRx’s Information or Confidential Information.


     11.6.2 Work-in-Progress. Upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to one or more countries, Fovea is entitled
during the following one hundred and eighty (180) days, to finish any work-in-progress and to sell any inventory of the product that remains on hand as of the date of the termination, so long as Fovea pays CombinatoRx the royalties applicable to
said subsequent sales in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.3. 


     11.6.3 Survival of Sublicense Rights If this Agreement terminates for any reason, any Sublicensee shall, from the effective date of such
termination, automatically become a direct licensee of CombinatoRx with respect to the rights originally sublicensed to the Sublicensee by Fovea, and CombinatoRx agrees that it shall confirm the foregoing in writing at the request and for the
benefit of the Sublicensee; provided, however, that such Sublicensee is not in breach of its sublicense agreement (or cures any
such breach within thirty (30) days of the termination of this Agreement) and such Sublicensee agrees to comply with all of the terms of this Agreement 


45











to the extent applicable from the rights originally sublicensed to it by Fovea, and provided further that
CombinatoRx shall not be bound by any duties or obligations contained in the sublicenses that extend beyond the duties and obligations assumed by CombinatoRx in this Agreement. 


     11.6.4 Remedies. Early termination of this Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 11.3, by a Party shall in no way affect or limit such
Party’s right to claim against the other Party for any damages arising out of the breach of this Agreement.


     11.7 Accrued Rights; Surviving Obligations. The termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties from performing any obligations
accrued prior to the date this Agreement terminates. All provisions of this Agreement which by their terms are intended to survive shall survive as the context requires.


	
ARTICLE 12

Dispute Resolution







     12.1 Negotiation of Parties. In the event of any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, relating to or in any way connected to the
interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, the performance of either Party under this Agreement or any other matter under this Agreement, including any action in tort, contract or otherwise, at equity or law (a “Dispute”), either Party may at any time provide the other Party written notice specifying the terms of such Dispute in reasonable detail. As soon as practicable after receipt of such notice, the Heads
of both Fovea and CombinatoRx shall meet at a mutually agreed upon time and location for the purpose of resolving such Dispute. The Heads shall engage in good faith discussions and/or negotiations for a period of up to thirty (30) days to resolve
the Dispute or negotiate an interpretation or revision of the applicable portion of this Agreement which is mutually agreeable to both Parties, without the necessity of formal procedures relating thereto. During the course of such discussion and/or
negotiation, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate and provide information that is not materially confidential in order so that each of the Heads may be fully informed with respect to the issues in the Dispute.


     12.2 Resolution by an Expert. In the event that any non-business type Dispute (including, but not limited to, those relating to development,
preclinical, regulatory, formulation, or intellectual property) is not resolved by the Heads pursuant to Section 12.1, then the Dispute shall be referred to an independent expert appointed by agreement of the Parties. The independent expert’s
decision shall be final and binding and its costs shall be borne as directed by the independent expert. Each party shall cooperate in good faith with the expert. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree as to whether a particular dispute is
governed by this Section 12.2, then this Section 12.2. shall be utilized to resolve such dispute.


     12.3 Arbitration. In the event any business-related Dispute is not resolved by the Heads pursuant to Section 12.1, then the Parties shall
resolve such Dispute by final and binding arbitration. Whenever a Party decides to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall give written notice to that effect to the other Party. Arbitration shall be held in New York, New York, USA, according to
the then-current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except to the extent such rules are inconsistent with this Article 12. The



46











arbitration will be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with AAA rules; provided that each Party shall within thirty (30) days after the institution of the arbitration proceedings appoint one
arbitrator each, and such arbitrators shall select, if available, a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days thereafter. If the two first arbitrators are unable to select a third arbitrator within such period, the third arbitrator shall be appointed
in accordance with AAA rules. Any arbitrator chosen hereunder shall have educational training and industry experience sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of relevant scientific, financial, medical and industry knowledge. Within twenty (20)
days of the selection of all arbitrators, each Party shall submit to the arbitrators a proposed resolution of the Dispute that is the subject of the arbitration (the “Proposals”). The arbitrators shall thereafter select one of the
Proposals so submitted as the resolution of the Dispute, but may not alter the terms of either Proposal and may not resolve the Dispute in a manner other than by selection of one of the submitted Proposals. If a Party fails to submit a Proposal in
accordance with the terms of this Section, the arbitrators shall select the Proposal of the other Party as the resolution of the Dispute. All arbitrators eligible to conduct the arbitration must agree to render their opinion(s) within thirty (30)
days of the final arbitration hearing. No arbitrator (nor the panel of arbitrators) shall have the power to award punitive damages under this Agreement regardless of whether any such damages are contained in a Proposal, and such award is expressly
prohibited. The proceedings and decisions of the arbitrators shall be confidential, final and binding on all of the Parties. Judgment on the award so rendered may be entered in a court having jurisdiction thereof. The Parties shall share the costs
of arbitration according to the decision of the arbitrators. Nothing in this Section 12.2 will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief in accordance with Section 13.1 or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the
status quo pending the arbitration proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties are not required to resolve disputes related to ownership, filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense or enforcement of Patents pursuant to this Section 12.2.



	
ARTICLE 13

Miscellaneous

confusingly similar to, misleading or deceptive with respect to or that

any breach of this Agreement by the other Party shall be effective as to any other breach, whether of the same or any other term or condition and whether occurring before or after the date of such waiver.

perform any or all of its obligations and exercise any or all of its rights under this Agreement through any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, and may assign any or all of its rights and delegate any or all of its obligations hereunder to any of
its Affiliates. Either Party may assign any or all of its rights and delegate any or all of its obligations hereunder, subject to Section 11.5 in the case of an assignment by CombinatoRx, to any successor in interest (whether by merger, acquisition,
asset purchase or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business to which this Agreement relates provided that the assigning Party shall provide written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such assignment or delegation.



     13.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.


     13.8 Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent (a) by prepaid registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, (b) by overnight express delivery service by a nationally recognized courier, or (c) via confirmed facsimile or telecopy, followed within five (5) days by a copy mailed in the preceding manner, addressed to the other party at the address
