any such funding is also uncertain; and that any and all of these factors could result in
significant delays in Emergent’s Exploitation of the Licensed Products. Emergent agrees to use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts (a) to respond to any solicitations and procurement proposals of
government agencies in each Major Market (including, in the case of the United States, federal,
state and local agencies), of which HPA gives notice to Emergent or of which Emergent is otherwise
aware, that are directly applicable to one or more Licensed Products, and (b) to enter into
procurement contracts and development contracts with such government agencies with respect to the
Licensed Products; provided, however, that Emergent shall not be required to do so
with respect to any Licensed Product if a Third Party has instituted, or in the good faith judgment
of Emergent is reasonably likely to institute, an Infringement Suit with
respect to the Exploitation of such Licensed Product in such Major Market. Emergent shall be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 2.6 if it files an IND with respect to
one or more Licensed Products by the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date. In the event that
Emergent fails to file an IND with respect to at least one Licensed Product by such date (the
“Penalty Date”), then it shall pay HPA [**] Dollars (US $[**]) within ten days after the Penalty
Date, and an equal sum thereafter on an annual basis, within ten days after each anniversary of the
Penalty Date, until such time as Emergent has filed an IND with respect to at least one Licensed
Product; provided, however, that if Emergent files such an IND after the Penalty
Date and prior to the fifth anniversary of the Penalty Date, then within ten days after such filing



- 11 -









 




Emergent shall pay HPA a lump sum equal to the difference between [**] Dollars (US $[**]) and the
aggregate amount previously paid by Emergent to HPA pursuant to this sentence; and
provided, further, that Emergent shall not be required to make any payment in the event
that Emergent’s failure to file such IND by such date results directly from the failure by HPA to
perform any of its obligations hereunder in a timely manner. Such payment shall be the sole remedy
of HPA for any breach of this Section 2.6, and any breach of this Section 2.6 (other than a breach
of such payment obligation) shall not be deemed a material breach of this Agreement for purposes of
Section 10.5.




     2.7 Records and Audits. HPA shall prepare and maintain complete and accurate records
regarding its marketing and sales of HPA Products in the Field. Upon the written request of
Emergent and not more than once in each Calendar Year, HPA shall permit an independent firm of
internationally recognized standing that is expert in the field of vaccine or pharmaceutical
products, selected by Emergent, and reasonably acceptable to HPA, to have access during normal
business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, to such of the records of HPA as may be
reasonably necessary to verify that HPA’s sales of HPA Products in the Field are within the scope
of the Retained Rights. The firm that conducts such audit shall disclose to Emergent and HPA only
the details of any sales made by HPA beyond the scope of the Retained Rights. Emergent shall bear
the cost of such audit unless HPA is determined to have made sales beyond the scope of the Retained
Rights, in which case HPA shall bear such cost.



     2.8 Cooperation of HPA. HPA shall cooperate with any and all reasonable requests for
assistance from Emergent with respect to the commercialization of the Licensed Products, including
by making its employees, consultants and other scientific staff available upon reasonable notice
during normal business hours at their respective places of employment to consult with Emergent on
issues arising during such commercialization. In addition, HPA shall promptly disclose to
Emergent any and all After-Acquired HPA Know-How, subject to the rights of any Third Parties
therein. Emergent shall reimburse HPA for any and all reasonable and verifiable direct
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by HPA in providing such assistance, provided that the
rate charged for any employee costs shall not exceed the most favorable rates charged by HPA to its
largest non-governmental customers.



     2.9 Rights and Obligations. Any and all rights of Emergent under this Article II are
intended, and shall be construed, to benefit such of its Affiliates and Sublicensees as and to the
extent Emergent may, from time to time, designate. Further, Emergent shall have the right to
satisfy any or all of its obligations under this Article II through one or more of its Affiliates
or Sublicensees; provided, however, that Emergent shall remain liable to HPA for
the performance of such obligations.

ARTICLE IV

     4.1 Confidentiality Obligations.



          4.1.1 General Obligations. Except as provided herein, the Parties agree that, during
the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years after this Agreement’s expiration or termination
pursuant to Article X, each Party shall hold in strict confidence and shall not publish or
otherwise disclose, directly or indirectly, to any Person (other than employees, Affiliates, legal
counsel, consultants, auditors and advisors who, except in the case of legal counsel, are bound in
writing by confidentiality and non-use obligations no less onerous than those set forth herein) any
Confidential Information of the other Party. During such period, a Party (and its Affiliates)
shall not use for any purpose, directly or indirectly, Confidential Information of the other
Party or its Affiliates furnished or otherwise made known to it, except as permitted hereunder.




          4.1.2 Additional HPA Obligations. HPA recognizes that by reason of Emergent’s status
as an exclusive licensee pursuant to this Agreement and the rBOT Development Agreement, Emergent
has an interest in HPA’s retention in confidence of certain information of HPA. Accordingly, HPA
shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents to, hold in strict
confidence, and not publish or otherwise disclose, and not use directly or indirectly for any
purpose, any information relating to the Licensed Product(s) or the Regulatory Documentation,
including the Regulatory Approvals (collectively, the “Emergent

Information”), except to the extent
that (a) the Emergent Information is in the public domain through no fault of HPA, its Affiliates,
or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, or (b) such disclosure is
reasonably necessary for the performance of HPA’s obligations hereunder or the exercise of the
Retained Rights, provided that any Third Party to which HPA proposes to disclose any Emergent
Information is bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to
those set forth in this Article IV. For clarification, the disclosure by HPA to Emergent or by
Emergent to HPA of Emergent Information shall not cause such information to cease to be subject to
the confidentiality provisions of this Section 4.1.2.




     4.2 Permitted Disclosures. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information or Emergent
Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is:



          (a) Made in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other
supra-national, federal, national, regional, state, provincial or local governmental or regulatory
body of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the receiving Party shall
first have given notice to the disclosing Party and, insofar as permitted by applicable law, given
the disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to quash such order and to obtain a protective order
requiring that the Confidential Information and documents that are the subject of such order be
held in confidence by such court or agency or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for
which the order was issued; and provided further that if a disclosure order is not
quashed or a protective order is not obtained, the Confidential Information disclosed in response
to such court or governmental order shall be limited to that information which is legally required
to be disclosed in response to such court or governmental order;




          (b) Otherwise required by law, in the opinion of legal counsel to the receiving Party as
expressed in an opinion letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the disclosing
Party, which shall be provided to the disclosing Party at least two (2) business days prior to the
receiving Party’s disclosure of the Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 4.2(b);




          (c) Made by the receiving Party to the Regulatory Authorities as required in connection with
any filing, application or request for Regulatory Approval; provided, however, that

          (f) Made by Emergent or its Affiliates or Sublicensees to Third Parties as may be necessary or
reasonably useful in connection with the Exploitation of any Licensed Product, including
subcontracting and sublicensing transactions in connection therewith.




     4.3 Confidential Information.



          4.3.1 Defined. “Confidential Information” of a Party shall mean all information and
know-how and any tangible embodiments thereof provided by or on behalf of such Party to the other
Party either in connection with the discussions and negotiations pertaining to this Agreement or in
the course of performing this Agreement, including data; knowledge; practices; processes; ideas;
research plans; engineering designs and drawings; research data; manufacturing processes and
techniques; scientific, manufacturing, marketing and business plans; and financial and personnel
matters relating to the disclosing Party or to its present or future products, sales, suppliers,
customers, employees, investors or business. For the avoidance of doubt, Confidential Information
shall be deemed to include any and all information provided by one Party to the other Party
relating to Licensed Products or HPA Products, and the terms of this Agreement.




          4.3.2 Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information or know-how of a Party
shall not be deemed Confidential Information with respect to the receiving Party for purposes of
this Agreement if such information or know-how: (a) was already known to the receiving Party or
its Affiliates, other than under an obligation of confidentiality or non-use, at the time of
disclosure to, or, with respect to know-how, discovery or development by, such receiving Party; (b)
was generally available or known, or was otherwise part of the public domain, at the time of its
disclosure to, or, with respect to know-how, discovery or development by, such receiving Party; (c)
became generally available or known, or otherwise became part of the public domain, after its
disclosure to, or, with respect to know-how, discovery or development by, such receiving Party
through no fault of the receiving Party; (d) was disclosed to such receiving Party or its
Affiliates, other than under an obligation of confidentiality or non-use, by a Third Party who had
no obligation to the Party that Controls such information and know-how not to disclose such
information or know-how to others; or (e) was independently discovered or developed by such
receiving Party or its Affiliates, as evidenced by their written records, without the use of
Confidential Information belonging to the Party that Controls such information and know-how.




          Specific aspects or details of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the
public domain or in the possession of a Party merely because the Confidential Information is
embraced by more general information in the public domain or in the possession of such Party.
Further, any combination of Confidential Information shall not be considered in
the public domain or in the possession of a Party merely because individual elements of such
Confidential Information are in the public domain or in the possession of such Party unless the
combination and its principles are in the public domain or in the possession of such Party.




     4.4 Use of Name. Neither Party shall mention or otherwise use the name, symbol, trademark,
trade name or logotype of the other Party (or any abbreviation or adaptation thereof) in any
publication, press release, promotional material or other form of publicity without the prior
written approval of such other Party in each instance. The restrictions imposed by this



- 18 -









 




Section shall not prohibit either Party from making any disclosure identifying the other Party that is
required by Applicable Law.




     4.5 Press Releases; Publication. Each Party shall have the right to issue press releases and
to make other public disclosures, presentations or publications with respect to this Agreement;
provided, however, that no such press release or other public disclosure,
presentation or publication shall disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party without
the prior written consent of such other Party; and, provided further, that neither
HPA nor any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be permitted to issue
any Press release or make any other public disclosure, presentation or publication regarding any
information, data or results pertaining to or resulting from the Emergent Information, without the
prior written consent of Emergent. HPA agrees to acknowledge Emergent in all such publications or
other public disclosures by coauthorship or acknowledgement, as appropriate according to customary
practice for such research publications and disclosures.



     4.6 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that breach of any of the terms of
this Article IV would cause irreparable harm and damage to the other Party and that such damage may
not be ascertainable in money damages and that as a result thereof the non-breaching Party would be
entitled to seek from a court equitable or injunctive relief restraining any breach or future
violation of the terms contained herein by the breaching Party without the necessity of proving
actual damages. Such right to equitable relief is in addition to whatever remedies either Party
may be entitled to as a matter of law or equity, including money damages, which other remedies are
subject to Section 11.7.



ARTICLE V

Payments and Reports




     5.1 Payments to HPA for Sales of Licensed Products in Major Markets. Subject to Sections 5.4,
5.5, and 10.6.2(b), the right of offset of Emergent under Section 7.4(b), and the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement, in partial consideration of the licenses and other rights granted
herein, Emergent, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and Major Market-by-Major Market basis,
shall pay to HPA royalties in an amount equal to:



          (a) [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales of such Licensed Product by Emergent, its Affiliates, or
its Sublicensees in such Major Market; and




          (b) until aggregate cumulative Net Sales of all Licensed Products by Emergent, its Affiliates,
and its Sublicensees in all Major Markets and by Emergent and its Affiliates in all Minor Markets
have reached [**] Dollars (US $[**]), an additional [**] percent ([**]%) of Net
Sales of such Licensed Product by Emergent, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees in such Major
Market.




     5.2 Payments to HPA for Sales of Licensed Products in Other Countries. Subject to Sections
5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 10.6.2(b), the right of offset of Emergent under Section 7.4(b), and the other terms
and conditions of this Agreement, in partial consideration of the licenses and other rights granted
herein, Emergent, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-



- 19 -









 




country basis for countries other than the Major Markets (each, a “Minor Market”), shall pay to HPA the following:




          (a) royalties in an amount equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales of such Licensed Product
by Emergent or its Affiliates (but not its Sublicensees) in such Minor Market; and




          (b) an amount equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of the difference between (i) all Sublicense
Income received by Emergent or any of its Affiliates from the Sublicensee(s) for such Minor Market
in connection with the Exploitation of such Licensed Product in the Field in such Minor Market and
(ii) all fully-loaded internal costs and out-of-pocket costs incurred by Emergent and its
Affiliates in connection with the identification of, negotiation with, and training of such
Sublicensee and its employees and agents, and all other project costs related to Emergent’s and its
Affiliates’ support of such Sublicensee’s efforts to Exploit such Licensed Product in the Field in
such Minor Market, all of which costs shall be calculated in a manner consistent with Emergent’s
standard method of accounting.




     5.3 Reduction in Royalties for Compulsory Licenses. In the event that a court or a
governmental agency of competent jurisdiction requires Emergent or one of its Affiliates to grant a
compulsory license to a Third Party permitting such Third Party to make and sell a Licensed Product
in a Minor Market, and the rate of royalty payable to Emergent or its Affiliate under such license
is lower than the market rate of royalty for such license is or would be in such country, then all
Net Sales of such Licensed Product by Emergent and its Affiliates in such country shall be excluded
from the royalty calculations set forth in Section 5.2(a) and the rate of royalty to be paid by
Emergent to HPA on such Net Sales shall be equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of the royalty rate under
such compulsory license, during the time period when such compulsory license is in effect and being
exercised.



     5.4 Reduction in Royalties for Competition. In the event that HPA or its Affiliates shall
knowingly and materially assist any Third Party to develop or otherwise Exploit a Vaccine Product
(as defined in the rBOT Development Agreement) designed or intended for the prevention or treatment
of illness in humans caused by C. botulinum toxin that competes with any Licensed Product and
achieves a market share of at least [**] percent ([**]%) in a country, then the rate of royalty
applicable to such Licensed Product in such country under Section 5.1 or 5.2(a), as the case may
be, shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%). For purposes of this Section 5.4, the provision by
HPA to a Third Party of standard commercially available services on a fee-for-service basis (e.g.,
sample testing using customer supplied assays or commercially available assays) that do not involve
a research component (e.g., assay development) shall not, standing alone, be deemed “material
assistance” to such Third Party.



     5.5 Royalty Term. Emergent’s royalty obligations under Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall terminate,
on a country-by-country basis, with respect to each Licensed Product (for purposes of this Section
5.5, each a “Subject Product”):



          (a) in the case of any country in Europe, on the later to occur of (i) the seventh (7th)
anniversary of the First Sale of the first Licensed Product in any country in Europe and (ii) the
expiration date in such country of the last to expire of any issued HPA Patents and Joint




- 20 -









 







Patents that includes at least one Valid Claim covering the sale of such Subject Product in such country;
or




          (b) in the case of any country not in Europe, on the later to occur of (i) the seventh (7th)
anniversary of the First Sale of the first Licensed Product in such country and (ii) the expiration
date in such country of the last to expire of any issued HPA Patents and Joint Patents that
includes at least one Valid Claim covering the sale of such Subject Product in such country.




          Upon termination of the royalty obligations of Emergent under this Section 5.5 in a country,
the license grants to Emergent in Section 3.1 shall become fully paid-up with respect to such
country.




     5.6 Reports; Payments. Following the First Sale of a Licensed Product, Emergent shall furnish
to HPA a written report for each Calendar Quarter showing (a) invoiced sales and Net Sales by
Emergent and its Affiliates in the Territory, and by Sublicensees in the Major Markets, (b) the
number of units of each Licensed Product sold on a country-by-country basis during the applicable
Calendar Quarter, and (c) the calculation of amounts owed to HPA pursuant to Section 5.1 and 5.2 in
such Calendar Quarter. Reports shall be due and amounts owed to HPA shall be due and payable sixty
(60) days following the close of each Calendar Quarter. Emergent shall keep complete and accurate
records in sufficient detail to enable the amounts payable hereunder to be determined.



     5.7 Audits.



          (a) Upon the written request of HPA and not more than once in each Calendar Year, Emergent
shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally recognized standing
selected by HPA, and reasonably acceptable to Emergent, to have access during normal business
hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, to such of the records of Emergent as may be
reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the reports provided in accordance with Section 5.6,
for any Calendar Year ending not more than twenty-four (24) months prior to the date of such
request. The accounting firm shall disclose to Emergent and HPA only whether the financial
statements and any related invoices are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning
any discrepancies. If such accounting firm concludes that Emergent owed additional amounts to HPA
during such period, Emergent shall pay HPA the difference between the amount actually owed, as
determined by the accounting firm, and the amount actually paid by Emergent, with interest from the
date originally due at the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern United
States Edition, on the last business day preceding such date, within thirty (30) days after the
date on which such accounting firm’s written report is delivered to HPA. If such accounting firm
concludes that Emergent has
underpaid HPA during such period, Emergent shall pay such difference to HPA within thirty (30)
days after the date of delivery of such report. If, and only if, the amount of the underpayment is
greater than five percent (5%) of the total actual amount owed as determined by the accounting
firm, Emergent shall bear all costs related to such audit. In all other cases, HPA shall bear the
cost of such audit.

          (b) Emergent shall include in each sublicense granted by it in a Major Market pursuant to this
Agreement a provision requiring the Sublicensee to make reports to Emergent, to keep and maintain
records of sales made pursuant to such sublicense and to grant access to such records by HPA’s
independent accountant to the same extent required of Emergent under this Agreement. Upon the
expiration of twenty-four (24) months following the end of any year, the calculation of amounts
payable with respect to such year shall be binding and conclusive upon HPA, and Emergent and its
Sublicensees shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect to amounts payable
for such year.




          (c) HPA shall treat all information subject to review under this Article V in accordance with
the confidentiality provisions of Article IV and shall cause its accounting firm to enter into a
reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with Emergent obligating such firm to retain all
such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.




     5.8 Mode of Payment. All payments to be made by a Party to the other Party under this
Agreement shall be made in United States dollars and may be paid by check made to the order of the
receiving Party or bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account
designated in writing by the receiving Party from time to time. Payments shall be free and clear
of any taxes (other than withholding and other taxes imposed on the receiving Party, which shall be
for the account of such Party), fees or charges, to the extent applicable. With respect to
payments in currencies other than United States dollars, payments shall be calculated based on
currency exchange rates for the month in which the invoice is received. For each month and each
currency, such exchange rate shall equal the arithmetic average of the daily exchange rates for
such month listed in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern United States Edition, or, if not so
available, as otherwise agreed by the Parties. Any delinquent payments shall accrue interest from
the date on which payment was due, at the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal,
Eastern United States Edition, on the last Business Day preceding such date.



ARTICLE VI

Complaints, Adverse Event Reporting and Product Recall




     6.1 Complaints. Each Party shall maintain a record of any and all complaints it receives with
respect to either the Licensed Products or the HPA Products. Each Party shall notify the other
Party in reasonable detail of any such complaint received by it at the same time as such Party is
required to first report such complaint to any Regulatory Authority, if such Party is required to
report such complaint, and in any event in sufficient time to allow such other Party to comply with
any and all regulatory and other requirements imposed upon it in any country in which the Licensed
Products or the HPA Products, as the case may be, are being marketed or distributed.



     6.2 Adverse Event Reporting. Each Party shall provide the other Party with all information
necessary or desirable for such other Party to receive in order to comply with all Applicable Law
relating to adverse event reporting with respect to the Licensed Products and the HPA Products. In
furtherance hereof, Emergent and HPA shall each (a) develop appropriate adverse experience
reporting procedures; (b) provide to the other Party any material information on the HPA Products
or the Licensed Products, respectively, from pre-clinical or clinical



- 22 -









 




laboratory, animal toxicology and pharmacology studies, as well as serious or unexpected adverse experience reports from clinical
trials and commercial experiences with the HPA Products or the Licensed Products, respectively; and
(c) report and provide such information to the other Party in such a manner and time so as to
enable such other Party to comply with all Applicable Law in countries in which such other Party
has sought or will seek Regulatory Approval.




     6.3 Product Recall.



          6.3.1 Notification and Recall. Emergent and HPA shall each have the sole right to
decide, in its discretion, whether to conduct a recall of any Licensed Product or HPA Product,
respectively (except in the case of a government-mandated recall), and the manner in which any such
recall shall be conducted.




          6.3.2 Recall Expenses. Emergent and HPA shall each bear the expenses of any recall of
any Licensed Product or HPA Product, respectively; provided, however, that HPA
shall bear the expense of a recall to the extent that such recall resulted from any defect in the
Manufacturing of any Licensed Product or any intermediate thereof supplied to Emergent by or on
behalf of HPA, HPA’s breach of its obligations hereunder or HPA’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Such expenses of recall shall include expenses for notification, destruction or return
of the recalled Licensed Product, any refund to consumers of amounts paid for the recalled Licensed
Product, and any royalties paid by Emergent to HPA with respect to such recalled Licensed Product.




ARTICLE VII

Indemnity




     7.1 Indemnification of Emergent. Subject to Sections 7.3 and 7.4(b), HPA shall indemnify
Emergent, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents,
and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all losses, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection
with any and all suits, investigations, claims or demands (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or
occurring as a result of (a) any material breach by HPA of this Agreement, (b) any gross negligence
or willful misconduct of HPA, its Affiliates or its other permitted subcontractors in performing
HPA’s obligations under this Agreement, or (c) the Exploitation of HPA Licensed Products, except
for those Losses for which Emergent has an obligation to indemnify HPA pursuant to Section 7.2, as
to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability
for the Losses.



     7.2 Indemnification of HPA. Subject to Sections 7.3 and 7.4(b), Emergent shall indemnify HPA,
its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and
defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses arising from or
occurring as a result of (a) any material breach by Emergent of this Agreement, (b) the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Emergent, its Affiliates or its other subcontractors in
performing Emergent’s obligations under this Agreement, or (c) the Exploitation of Licensed
Products by Emergent or any of its Affiliates, except for those Losses for which HPA has an



- 23 -









 




obligation to indemnify Emergent and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 7.1, as to which Losses
each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability for the Losses.




     7.3 Indemnification Procedure.



          7.3.1 Notice of Claim. The indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt
written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which
such indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 7.1 or Section
7.2. In no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay
in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the
claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (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 Losses. All indemnification
claims in respect of a Party, its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees and
agents shall be made solely by such Party to this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”).




          7.3.2 Third Party Claims. The obligations of an indemnifying Party under this Article
VII with respect to Losses arising from claims of any Third Party that are subject to
indemnification as provided for in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 (a “Third Party Claim”) shall be governed by
and be contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions:




          (a) Control 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 thirty (30) 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
acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Person seeking
indemnification 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 such claim for indemnification. Upon
assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in
the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party. In the
event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party
shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including
court papers) received by any indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should
the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party shall not
be liable to the Indemnified Party or any other indemnified Party for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or
settlement of the Third Party Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the
indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless an indemnified Party from
and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for
any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of
suit) and any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party
Claim with respect to such indemnified Party.




          (b) Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 7.3.2(a), any
indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third
Party Claim and to retain counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided,
however, that such




- 24 -









 







retention shall be at the indemnified Party’s own expense unless (i) the
employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing or (ii)
the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with
Section 7.3.2(a) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense).




          (c) Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money
damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnified Party’s
becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the
Indemnified Party in any manner, and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in
writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall
have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise
dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem
appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the
indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section
7.3.2(a), the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment,
enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss provided it obtains the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an
Indemnified Party that is reached without the written consent of the indemnifying Party.
Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim,
no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge,
any Third Party Claim in a manner that has a materially adverse effect on the indemnifying Party
without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party.




          (d) Cooperation. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or
prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each other
indemnified Party 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 afforded to 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 indemnified Parties and other employees
and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and
explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the
Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.




          (e) Expenses. Except as provided above, the 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.

     7.4 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.



          (a) SUBJECT TO SECTIONS 7.1 AND 7.2, AND EXCEPT IN CIRCUMSTANCES OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, NONE OF EMERGENT, HPA OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE
FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING FOR LOST PROFITS, MILESTONES
OR ROYALTIES), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE,
ARISING OUT OF (A) ANY BREACH OF OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR
(B) THE DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE, USE OR SALE OF ANY PRODUCT DEVELOPED, MANUFACTURED OR MARKETED
HEREUNDER. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS ATTEMPTING TO EXCLUDE OR LIMIT THE
LIABILITY OF EITHER OF THE PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES (A) FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF EITHER OF THE PARTIES, THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OR OF THE OFFICERS,
EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OF THE PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, (B) FOR FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT
MISREPRESENTATION OR (C) FOR ANY MATTER IN RESPECT OF WHICH IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR EITHER PARTY TO
EXCLUDE OR ATTEMPT TO EXCLUDE ITS LIABILITY.




          (b) SUBJECT TO THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, BUT NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS
AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMBINED AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,
TAKEN TOGETHER WITH SUCH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THE rBOT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THE BT
LICENSE AGREEMENT, THE BT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND THE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT, EXCEED THE COMBINED
AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID BY EMERGENT TO HPA, WHETHER AS LUMP SUMS OR PERIODIC PAYMENTS OF ROYALTIES
OR SUBLICENSE INCOME, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE rBOT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THE BT LICENSE
AGREEMENT, THE BT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND THE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (THE “AGGREGATE AMOUNT”);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN THE EVENT THAT EITHER PARTY (THE “LIABLE PARTY”) SHALL BECOME LIABLE TO
THE OTHER PARTY HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER FOR AN AMOUNT (THE “TOTAL LIABILITY”) LARGER THAN THE
AGGREGATE AMOUNT CALCULATED AS OF THE DATE THAT THE TOTAL LIABILITY BECAME DUE AND PAYABLE, THE
LIABLE PARTY SHALL PROMPTLY PAY SUCH OTHER PARTY A LUMP SUM EQUAL TO THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT AS SO
CALCULATED; AND PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT IF HPA IS THE LIABLE PARTY, EMERGENT SHALL THEREAFTER HAVE
A RIGHT OF OFFSET WITH RESPECT TO ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS OF EMERGENT TO HPA HEREUNDER AND
THEREUNDER THAT BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE AFTER SUCH DATE, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE TOTAL AMOUNTS OFFSET
BY EMERGENT EQUAL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE TOTAL LIABILITY AND SUCH LUMP SUM PAYMENT BY HPA; AND PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT IF EMERGENT
IS THE LIABLE PARTY, THEN THEREAFTER, AT SUCH TIMES AS EMERGENT SHALL MAKE PAYMENTS TO HPA THAT ARE
OTHERWISE DUE AND PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, EMERGENT




- 26 -









 







SHALL PAY TO HPA AN EQUAL AMOUNT AS
ADDITIONAL DAMAGES, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE TOTAL AMOUNTS SO PAID TO HPA AS ADDITIONAL DAMAGES EQUAL
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TOTAL LIABILITY AND SUCH LUMP SUM PAYMENT BY EMERGENT..




     7.5 Insurance. Emergent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain,
with an insurance company of internationally recognized standing, such type and amounts of
liability insurance covering the Exploitation of the Licensed Products, and HPA shall maintain such
program of self-insurance covering the Exploitation of the HPA Products, as is normal and customary
in the pharmaceutical industry generally for Parties similarly situated, and Emergent shall upon
request provide HPA with a copy of such policies of insurance, along with any amendments and
revisions thereto; provided, however, that Emergent shall promptly notify HPA in
writing if, after using commercially reasonable efforts, Emergent is unable to obtain such
insurance or if, after obtaining such insurance, Emergent is unable to maintain such insurance; and
provided, further, that Emergent shall not be required to seek such insurance
coverage to the extent that the relevant liabilities are covered by a government indemnity in favor
of Emergent or precluded by applicable law.

          (a) Such Party (i) has the power and authority and the legal right to enter into this
Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) has taken all necessary action on its
part required to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its
obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party
and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party and is enforceable against it
in accordance with its terms subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of

          (b) Such Party is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation (and has not received any
communication) that alleges that such Party’s activities related to this Agreement have violated,
or that by conducting the activities as contemplated herein such Party would violate, any of the
intellectual property rights of any other Person.




          (c) All necessary consents, approvals and authorizations of all regulatory and governmental
authorities and other Persons required to be obtained by such Party in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder have been
obtained.




          (d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of such Party’s
obligations hereunder (i) do not conflict with or violate any requirement of applicable law or
regulation or any provision of the articles of incorporation, bylaws, limited partnership




- 27 -









 







agreement or any similar instrument of such Party, as applicable, in any material way, and (ii) do not
conflict with, violate, or breach or constitute a default or require any consent under, any
contractual obligation or court or administrative order by which such Party is bound.




     8.2 Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Emergent. Emergent represents,
warrants and covenants to HPA as of the Effective Date that Emergent is a corporation duly
organized and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has full power and

business as it is now being conducted and as it is contemplated to be conducted by this Agreement.



     8.3 Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of HPA. HPA represents, warrants and
covenants to Emergent as of the Effective Date that:



          (a) HPA is a governmental entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of England, and has full governmental power and authority and the legal right to own and
operate its property and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and as it
is contemplated to be conducted by this Agreement.




          (b) HPA is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Patents
listed in Part A of Schedule 1.35 (the “Owned HPA Patents”) and, except as provided in Schedule
1.35, such rights are not subject to any encumbrance, lien or claim of ownership by any Third
Party. HPA is the exclusive licensee of and Controls all right, title and interest in and to the
Patents listed in Part B of Schedule 1.35 (the “Licensed HPA Patents”) and, except as provided in
Schedule 1.35, such rights are not subject to any encumbrance, lien or claim of ownership by any
Third Party. The Parties acknowledge that Emergent has received an opinion from counsel to HPA,
Mathys & Squire, that the grant by HPA to Emergent of the licenses in Section 3.1 does not conflict
with, violate, breach or constitute a default under, or require any consent under that certain
Agreement dated as of February 1, 2000, by and between Microbiological Research Authority and
Allergan, Inc. or under that certain Agreement dated as of November 10, 1998, by and between
Microbiological Research Authority and The Speywood Laboratory (such agreements, collectively, the
“In-License Agreements”), with respect to any of the Owned HPA Patents or the Licensed HPA Patents.
The Owned HPA Patents and the Licensed HPA Patents constitute all of the HPA Patents as of the
Effective Date. During the term of this Agreement, HPA shall not encumber or diminish the rights
granted to Emergent hereunder with respect to the HPA Patents, including by not (i) committing any
acts or permitting the occurrence of any omissions that would cause the breach or termination of
any In-License Agreement, or (ii) amending or otherwise modifying, or permitting to be amended or
modified, any In-License Agreement. HPA shall promptly provide Emergent with notice of any
alleged, threatened, or actual breach of any In-License Agreement. As of the date hereof, none of
HPA, its Affiliates and, to the best of their knowledge, no Third Party is in breach of any
In-License Agreement.




          (c) To the best knowledge of HPA, the HPA Patents existing as of the Effective Date are
subsisting and are not invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and the conception,
development and reduction to practice of the Regulatory Documentation, the HPA Patents and HPA
Know-How existing as of the Effective Date have not constituted or involved the




- 28 -









 







misappropriation of
trade secrets or other rights or property of any Third Party. There are no claims, judgments or
settlements against or amounts with respect thereto owed by HPA or any of its Affiliates relating
to the Regulatory Documentation, the HPA Patents, or the HPA Know-How. No claim or litigation has
been brought or threatened by any Person alleging, and HPA is not aware of any possible claim,
whether or not asserted, that (i) the HPA Patents are invalid or unenforceable or (ii) the
Regulatory Documentation, the HPA Patents, or the HPA Know-How or the disclosing, copying, making,
assigning, licensing or Exploitation of the Regulatory Documentation, the HPA Patents, or the HPA
Know-How, or products embodying the Regulatory Documentation, the HPA Patents, or the HPA Know-How,
including the Exploitation of any Licensed Product, violates, infringes or otherwise conflicts or
interferes with any intellectual property or proprietary right of any Third Party. To the best
knowledge of HPA, Emergent’s worldwide Exploitation of any Licensed Product pursuant to the
exercise of the licenses granted by HPA to Emergent in this Agreement will not infringe any Patents
Controlled by any Third Party.




          (d) Except for the license grants and assignment in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, neither HPA nor any
of its Affiliates has, directly or indirectly, expressly or by implication, by action or omission
or otherwise (i) assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise encumbered any right, title or
interest in or to the Regulatory Documentation or the HPA Technology in the Field; (ii) granted any
license or other right, title or interest in or to the Regulatory Documentation or the HPA
Technology in the Field; or (iii) agreed to or is otherwise bound by any covenant not to sue for
any infringement, misuse or otherwise with respect to the Regulatory Documentation or the HPA
Technology in the Field.




          (e) HPA agrees not to, and agrees to cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly,
expressly or by implication, by action or omission or otherwise (i) assign, transfer, convey or
otherwise encumber any right, title or interest in or to the HPA Technology or Joint Technology,
(ii) grant any license or other right, title or interest in or to the HPA Technology or the Joint
Technology in any manner, or (iii) agree to or otherwise become bound by any covenant not to sue
for any infringement, misuse or other action or inaction with respect to the HPA Technology or the
Joint Technology, in each case ((i), (ii), and (iii)) that is inconsistent with the grants,
assignments and other rights reserved to Emergent and its Affiliates under this Agreement and the
rBOT Development Agreement.




          (f) HPA shall cause each of its Affiliates and any other Person conducting Development
Activities on behalf of HPA hereunder to assign to HPA rights to any and all Information and
Inventions that relate to the Licensed Product(s), such that Emergent shall, by virtue of this
Agreement and the rBOT License Agreement, receive from HPA, without payment of additional
consideration beyond that required by this Agreement and the rBOT Development Agreement, the
licenses and other rights granted to Emergent and its Affiliates hereunder and under the rBOT
Development Agreement.




          (g) To the best of HPA’s and its Affiliate’s knowledge, there is no actual or threatened
infringement by a Third Party of the Regulatory Documentation or the rBOT Licensed Technology.

     8.4 Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT FOR THOSE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE VIII, AND
SUBJECT TO SECTION 7.4(a), EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS AND
TERMS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (A) ANY WARRANTY OF QUALITY,
PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, (B) ANY WARRANTY WITH
RESPECT TO THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND (C) ANY
WARRANTY THAT THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER WILL NOT INFRINGE THE
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY PERSON. SUBJECT TO SECTION 7.4(a), NO PARTY MAKES ANY
REPRESENTATIONS HEREUNDER OTHER THAN THOSE SET FORTH EXPRESSLY HEREIN.



ARTICLE IX

Intellectual Property Provisions




     9.1 Ownership of HPA Technology and Emergent Technology. Subject to the license grants to
Emergent and its Affiliates in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b), as between the Parties, HPA shall own
and retain all right, title and interest in and to all HPA Technology.



     9.2 Prosecution of HPA Patents.



          9.2.1 HPA Patents. Subject to Sections 9.2.3 and 9.2.4, HPA shall be responsible, at
the shared expense of Emergent and such other Persons as may be granted licenses thereunder by HPA
consistent with the limitations of this Agreement, for obtaining, prosecuting and maintaining the
HPA Patents in the United States, Canada, the European Union, Australia and Japan (the “Prosecution
Jurisdictions”) and such other countries in the Territory as Emergent, in its sole discretion, may
elect. HPA shall file, prosecute and maintain Patent applications to secure Patent rights for the
patentable HPA Technology (except to the extent that a Third Party licensor has retained the right
to do so, in which case HPA shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Third Party
licensor to do so), in the Prosecution Jurisdictions and in such other countries as Emergent may
from time to time designate in writing.




          9.2.2 Interference, Opposition, Reexamination and Reissue of HPA Patents. In addition
to the other obligations imposed on HPA pursuant to this Section 9.2:




          (a) HPA shall promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) days of such event, inform
Emergent of any request for, or filing or declaration, any interference, opposition, or
reexamination relating to any HPA Patents. Emergent and HPA shall thereafter consult and cooperate
fully to determine a course of action with respect to any such proceeding. Emergent shall have the
right to review and approve any submission to be made in connection with such proceeding.




          (b) HPA shall not institute any reexamination, or reissue proceeding relating to HPA Patents
without the prior written consent of Emergent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.




- 30 -









 








          (c) In connection with any interference, opposition, reissue, or reexamination proceeding
relating to HPA Patents, Emergent and HPA shall cooperate fully and shall provide each other with
any information or assistance that either may reasonably request. HPA shall keep Emergent informed
of developments in any such action or proceeding, including, to the extent permissible, the status
of any settlement negotiations and the terms of any offer related thereto.




          9.2.3 Cooperation.




          (a) In General. HPA shall regularly provide Emergent with copies of all Patent
applications filed under this Section 9.2 and other material submissions and correspondence with
any patent authorities, as applicable, in sufficient time to allow for review and comment by
Emergent. In addition, HPA shall provide Emergent and its counsel with an opportunity to consult
with HPA and its counsel regarding the filing and contents of any application, amendment,
registration, submission, response or correspondence with any patent authorities, and HPA shall
accede to reasonable requests of Emergent regarding the filing and prosecution of the HPA Patents.
HPA agrees to retain counsel designated by Emergent for the purpose of filing, prosecuting and
maintaining Patents with respect to any HPA Technology for which Patent protection is first sought
after the Effective Date, at the shared expense of Emergent and such other Persons as may be
granted licenses thereunder by HPA consistent with the limitations of this Agreement.




          (b) Patent Term Restoration. The Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in
obtaining patent term restoration or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in
any country in the Territory where applicable HPA Patents have issued. In the event that elections
with respect to obtaining such patent term restoration are to be made, Emergent shall have the
right to make the election and HPA agrees to abide by such election.




          9.2.4 Election not to Prosecute. If HPA elects not (a) to pursue the filing,
prosecution or maintenance of a HPA Patent in a Jurisdiction, or (b) to take any other action with
respect to a HPA Patent in a Jurisdiction that is necessary or useful to establish or preserve
rights thereto, then in each such case ((a) and (b)) HPA shall so notify Emergent promptly in
writing and in good time to enable Emergent to meet any deadlines by which an action must be taken
to establish or preserve any such rights in such HPA Patent in such Jurisdiction. Upon receipt of
each such notice from HPA or if, at any time, HPA fails to initiate any such action within thirty
(30) days after a request by Emergent that it do so (or within such shorter time as may be required
to prevent the forfeiture of rights), and thereafter diligently pursue such action, Emergent shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to pursue the filing or registration, or support the
continued prosecution or maintenance, of such HPA Patent, at its expense in such Jurisdiction. If
Emergent elects to pursue such filing or registration, as the case may be, or continue such
support, then Emergent shall notify HPA of such election and HPA shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to, (i) reasonably cooperate with Emergent in this regard, and (ii) promptly release or
assign to Emergent, without consideration, all right, title and interest in and to such HPA Patent
in such Jurisdiction.

     9.3 Enforcement of rBOT Licensed Patents.



          9.3.1 Rights and Procedures. If either Party determines that any HPA Patent is being
infringed by a Third Party’s activities and that such infringement could affect the exercise by
Emergent of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, it shall notify the other Party in
writing and provide it with any evidence of such infringement that is reasonably available.
Emergent shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to attempt to remove such infringement
by commercially appropriate steps, including filing an infringement suit or taking other similar
action, at its own expense. If required by law in order for Emergent to prosecute such suit, HPA
shall join such suit as a Party, at Emergent’s expense. HPA shall use its best efforts to obtain
any consents required by Third Parties owning Licensed HPA Patents in order to authorize Emergent
to take legal action to remove such infringement. In the event Emergent fails within one hundred
and twenty (120) days following notice of such infringement, or earlier notifies HPA in writing of
its intent not to take commercially appropriate steps to remove any infringement of any such HPA
Patent, HPA may do so at its own expense; provided, however, that if HPA fails to
bring such suit or otherwise terminate such infringement within one hundred and twenty (120) days
of its first having the right to do so, Emergent shall be permanently relieved of its royalty
obligations under this Agreement until the earlier of (a) the date such suit is commenced, provided
that Emergent shall be relieved of such obligations during any period that HPA is not diligently
prosecuting such suit, and (b) the date that such infringement is otherwise terminated. The Party
not enforcing the applicable HPA Patent shall provide reasonable assistance to the other Party,
including providing access to relevant documents and other evidence, making its employees available
at reasonable business hours, and joining the action to the extent necessary to allow the enforcing
Party to maintain the action.




          9.3.2 Costs and Expenses. Any amounts recovered by either Party pursuant to Section
9.3.1, whether by settlement or judgment, shall be used to reimburse the Parties for their
reasonable costs and expenses in making such recovery (which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if
insufficient to cover the totality of such expenses), with any remainder being retained by or paid
to Emergent and being deemed “Net Sales” for which Emergent shall pay HPA a royalty under Section
5.1 or 5.2(a), as the case may be.




          9.3.3 Certification Under FFDCA. HPA shall inform Emergent of any certification
regarding any HPA Patents it has received pursuant to either 21 U.S.C. §§355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or
(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) or such similar laws as may exist in jurisdictions other than the United States
and shall provide Emergent with a copy of such certification within five (5) days of receipt.
HPA’s and Emergent’s rights with respect to the initiation and prosecution of any legal action as a
result of such certification or any recovery obtained as a result of such legal action shall be as
defined in Sections 9.3.1 and 9.3.2.




          9.3.4 Certification Under Drug Price Competition and Patent Restoration Act. HPA and
Emergent each shall immediately give notice to the other of any certification of which they become
aware filed by a Third Party under the United States Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 claiming that HPA Patents covering Licensed Products are invalid or that
infringement will not arise from the manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Products by such Third
Party. If HPA or Emergent (depending on which Party is defending the HPA Patents in accordance
with Section 9.3.1) decides not to bring infringement proceedings against




- 32 -









 







the entity making such a certification, such Party shall give notice to the other Party of its
decision not to bring suit within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of notice of such
certification. The Party receiving such notice may then, but is not required to, bring suit
against the Party that filed the certification. Any suit by Emergent or HPA shall either be in the
name of Emergent or in the name of HPA, or jointly by Emergent and HPA. For this purpose, the
Party not bringing suit shall execute such legal papers necessary for the prosecution of such suit
as may be reasonably requested by the Party bringing suit.




     9.4 Infringement of Third Party Rights.



          9.4.1 Third Party Litigation. In the event that a Third Party institutes a patent,
trade secret, trademark or other infringement suit against Emergent or its Affiliates or
sublicensees during the term of this Agreement, alleging that the practice by Emergent of the HPA
Technology in the exercise of its rights as licensee under this Agreement infringes one or more
patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property rights held by such Third Party (an
“Infringement Suit”), then (i) as between the Parties, Emergent shall assume direction and control
of the defense of claims arising therefrom (including the right to settle such claims at its sole
discretion), and (ii) Emergent may withhold and deposit into an interest-bearing escrow account
[**] percent ([**]%) of all amounts that Emergent would otherwise be obligated to pay to HPA
pursuant to Article V (the “Escrowed Amount”), and Emergent’s payment obligations to HPA under
Article V shall be reduced accordingly, until such time as a final, non-appealable judgment is
rendered with respect to such Infringement Suit by a court of competent jurisdiction, or the time
permitted for appeal of a final, appealable judgment has lapsed (the “Final Judgment”). If Final
Judgment is rendered in favor of Emergent (or its Affiliates or sublicensees, as the case may be),
then Emergent shall pay to HPA, within ten days after the entry of such judgment, the full amount
of the Escrowed Amount. If the Final Judgment is rendered partially or entirely in favor of such
Third Party, then Emergent may apply the Escrowed Amount to the payment of its defense costs in
connection with such Infringement Suit and to the payment of any award it is required to pay
pursuant to such Final Judgment. If the Escrowed Amount exceeds such defense costs and award then
Emergent, within ten (10) days following the date of the Final Judgment, shall remit to HPA the
amount of such excess. If the Escrowed Amount does not equal or exceed the amount of such defense
costs and award, then from and after the date of the Final Judgment, Emergent shall be entitled to
withhold [**] percent ([**]%) of all amounts that Emergent would otherwise be required to pay to
HPA pursuant to Article V until such time as the aggregate amounts so withheld plus the Escrowed
Amounts equals the amount of such defense costs and award.




          9.4.2 Cooperation. In the event that a Third Party institutes a Patent, Trademark,
trade secret or other infringement suit against Emergent or its Affiliates or Sublicensees during
the term of this Agreement, HPA shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates and any Third Parties
owning relevant HPA Patents to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with
Emergent in connection with the defense of such suit.




          9.4.3 Retained Rights. Nothing in this Section 9.4 shall prevent either Party, at its
own expense, from obtaining any license or other rights from Third Parties it deems appropriate in
order to permit the full and unhindered exercise of its rights under this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

Term and Termination




     10.1 Term and Expiration. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and
unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 or 10.9, the term of this
Agreement shall continue in effect until expiration of all royalty obligations hereunder. Upon
expiration of this Agreement, Emergent’s licenses under Section 3.1 and HPA’s licenses under
Section 3.3 shall become fully paid-up, perpetual licenses, and the covenants in Section 3.4(a) and
3.4(b) shall survive with respect to such intellectual property of HPA and Emergent, respectively,
as has been incorporated into the Licensed Products or HPA Products, as the case may be, as of the
date of expiration of this Agreement.



     10.2 Termination by Emergent without Cause. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, Emergent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety or with respect
to one or more countries at any time in its sole discretion by giving one hundred and eighty (180)
days’ written notice to HPA.



     10.3 Termination by HPA in Certain Events. In the event that (a) Emergent terminates the rBOT
Development Agreement without cause prior to performing its obligations under Section 3.4 thereof,
(b) HPA terminates the rBOT Development Agreement pursuant to Section 11.3 thereof, or (c) Emergent
challenges the validity of the HPA Patents, or knowingly and voluntarily assists a Third Party to

     10.4 Termination by Emergent for Material Breach by HPA under the rBOT Development Agreement.
In the event that Emergent terminates the rBOT Development Agreement pursuant to Section 11.4
thereof, Emergent shall have the right upon written notice to HPA to terminate this Agreement.



     10.5 Termination of this Agreement by Either Party for Material Breach. Material failure by
HPA to comply with any of its material obligations contained herein, or material failure by
Emergent to make payments owed to HPA pursuant to this Agreement, shall entitle the Party not in
default to give to the Party in default notice specifying the nature of the default, requiring the
defaulting Party to make good or otherwise cure such default, and stating its intention to
terminate if such default is not cured. In the event that Emergent is the notifying Party,
Emergent shall have the right, in addition to all other remedies available to it by law, in equity
or pursuant to this Agreement, to suspend payment of any amounts that it would otherwise owe to HPA
hereunder until such time as the material breach of HPA is cured (whereupon such suspended amounts
shall be paid). If a noticed default is not cured within thirty (30) days (the “Cure Period”)
after the receipt of such notice (or, if such default cannot be cured within such thirty (30)-day
period, if the Party in default does not commence actions to cure such default within the Cure
Period and thereafter diligently continue such actions), the Party not in default shall be
entitled, without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, and in
addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement in
its entirety; provided, however, that any right to terminate under this Section
10.5 shall be stayed in the event that, during any Cure Period, the Party alleged to have been in
default shall have initiated dispute resolution in accordance with Section 11.7 with respect to the
alleged

immune response, and (iii) is designed for use in the Field;




          (b) HPA shall compensate Emergent for any damages that Emergent suffers as a result of such
breach, first, through a lump sum payment up to the maximum amount permitted under Section 7.4(b),
and then pursuant to Section 7.4(b) through a set-off against Emergent’s payment obligations under
Article V, provided that upon the full payment of such compensation, the applicable royalty rate
shall be reduced to [**] percent ([**]%) of the rate that would otherwise apply under the terms of
Article V; and




          (c) The licenses granted by HPA to Emergent in Section 3.1, the royalty obligations of
Emergent under Article V (as modified pursuant to subparagraph (b) above), the covenant in Section
3.4(a), and the provisions of Article IX shall survive such termination. The licenses granted by
Emergent to HPA in Section 3.3 and the covenant in Section 3.4(b) shall terminate.

          10.8.1 Accrued Rights. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason

Section 10.7.1, Emergent shall be entitled, during the following ninety (90) days, to finish any

date of the termination, so long as Emergent pays HPA the royalties applicable to said subsequent
sales in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.




          10.8.4 Return of Information. Within ninety (90) days of the expiration or
termination of this Agreement, each Party shall deliver to the other Party any and all data, files,

archival purposes) Except as may be provided otherwise in this Agreement, each Party shall cease
using any technology of the other Party to which its license hereunder has terminated, except to
the extent that such technology has entered the public domain or that such Party has secured rights
under such technology through contract, agreement, arrangement or otherwise.




     10.9 Termination upon Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if, at any time,

other Party shall be served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency
proceeding, and such petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing

the other Party shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.



     10.10 Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this
Agreement by Emergent or HPA are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section
365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as
defined under Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that the
Parties, as licensees of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all
of their rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree
that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against either Party under
the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Party hereto that is not a Party to such proceeding shall be
entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such



- 36 -









 




intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already
in the non-subject Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such
commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon the non-subject Party’s written request therefor,
unless the Party subject to such proceeding elects to continue to perform all of its obligations
under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under clause (a) above, following the rejection of

therefor by the non-subject Party.




ARTICLE XI

Miscellaneous




     11.1 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party or
be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or
performing any term of this Agreement, when such failure or delay is caused by or results from
causes beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods,
embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not),
insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God
or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority. The non-performing Party
shall notify the other Party of such force majeure within ten (10) days after such occurrence by
giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration,
and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be
of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform; provided,
however, that in the event the suspension of performance continues for one-hundred and
eighty (180) days after the date of the occurrence, the Parties shall meet and discuss in good
faith how best to proceed.



     11.2 Export Control Regulations. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this
Agreement shall be subject in all respects to United States laws and regulations and the analogous
laws and regulations of England, as shall from time to time govern the license and delivery of
technology and products between the United States and the United Kingdom, including the United
States Foreign Assets Control Regulations, Transaction Control Regulations and Expert Control
Regulations, as amended, and any successor legislation issued by the Department of Commerce,
International Trade Administration, Office of Export Licensing. Without in any way limiting the
provisions of this Agreement, each party agrees that, unless prior authorization is obtained from
the Office of Export Licensing, it shall not export, re-export, or transship, directly or
indirectly, to any country, any of the technical data disclosed to it by the other party if such
export would violate the laws of the United States or the regulations of any department or agency
of the United States Government.



     11.3 Assignment. Without the prior written consent of the other Party, neither Party shall
sell, transfer, assign, delegate, charge, pledge or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily,
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties
hereunder, nor purport to do any of the same; provided, however, that Emergent may,
without such consent, assign the benefit of this Agreement and its rights hereunder to an
Affiliate, to the purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets, or to any Third Party
pursuant to or in connection with any agreement and plan of merger, acquisition, reorganization, or
other similar



- 37 -









 




corporate transaction; and provided, further, that HPA may, without such
consent, assign the benefit of this Agreement and its rights hereunder to an Affiliate or to a
Third Party pursuant to or in connection with a spin-off of its business relating to the
Development Program (as defined in the rBOT Development Agreement) and the Exploitation of Licensed
Products and HPA Products, provided however, that no such assignment may be made to
any Third Party, or any Person controlled by any Third Party, that is at the time of such
assignment a competitor of Emergent in the Field; and provided, further, that
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, HPA may not assign or otherwise transfer in
any manner to any Third Party any of the Retained Rights, any of the licenses granted to HPA in
Section 3.3(c), or any rights of HPA under Section 3.4. Any attempted assignment in violation of
the preceding sentence shall be void and of no effect. All validly assigned rights of the Parties
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the permitted assigns of
Emergent or HPA, as the case may be. No assignment validly made pursuant to this Section 11.3
shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, unless the other
Party has given its prior consent thereto.




     11.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable under any present or future law, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b)
this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision or by its severance herefrom, and (d) the Parties agree to attempt to substitute for any
such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision a legal, valid and enforceable provision as
similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and
reasonably acceptable to the Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each
Party hereby waives any provision of law that would render any provision hereof prohibited or
unenforceable in any respect.

shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally, sent by facsimile (promptly confirmed

     11.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
English law, without reference to the rules of conflict of laws thereof. Subject to Section 11.7,
the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the
courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York for any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) initiated by HPA and
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (ii) the English courts located in London for any
action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) initiated by Emergent and arising out of
or relating to this Agreement. The Parties agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding
(other than appeals therefrom) related thereto except in such courts, respectively. The Parties
further hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any
action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or relating to this
Agreement in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, or the English courts located in London, as the case may be, and
hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such
court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. Each Party hereto further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice
or document by internationally recognized courier to its address set forth above shall be effective
service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought against it under this Agreement in
any such court.



     11.7 Dispute Resolution.



          11.7.1 Negotiation. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith and use reasonable
efforts to settle any dispute, controversy or claim arising from or related to this Agreement (or
any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith) (each, a “Dispute”). In the event
that the Parties are unable to, within ten (10) days, to reach a resolution, such Dispute shall be
referred to the chief executive officers of Emergent and HPA, or their respective successors, who
shall attempt in good faith to reach a resolution of the Dispute. If the foregoing procedures fail




- 39 -









 







to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution within ten (10) days, then either Party may, by
written notice to the other Party, elect to have the matter settled by binding arbitration pursuant
to Section 11.7.2.




          11.7.2 Arbitration. Any arbitration under this Agreement shall take place at a
location to be agreed by the Parties; provided, however, that in the event that the
Parties are unable to agree on a location for an arbitration under this Agreement within five (5)
days of the demand therefor, such arbitration shall be held in New York, New York if HPA is the
Party that first demanded such arbitration or in London, England if Emergent is the Party that
first demanded such arbitration. Any arbitration under this Agreement shall be administered by the
American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect (the “AAA
Rules”). The Parties shall appoint an arbitrator by mutual agreement. If the Parties cannot agree
on the appointment of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the demand for arbitration, an
arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall have the
authority to grant any equitable and legal remedies that would be available in any judicial
proceeding instituted to resolve the Dispute submitted to such arbitration in accordance with this
Agreement; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not have the power to
alter, amend or otherwise affect the terms or the provisions of this Agreement. Judgment upon any
award rendered pursuant to this Section may be entered by any court having jurisdiction over the
Parties other assets. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive or any other type
of damages not measured by a Party’s compensatory damages. Each Party shall bear its own costs and
expenses and attorneys’ fees and an equal share of the arbitrator’s fees and any administrative
fees of arbitration, unless the arbitrator shall otherwise allocate such costs, expenses and fees
between the Parties. The Parties agree that all arbitration awards shall be final and binding on
the Parties and their Affiliates. The Parties hereby waive the right to contest the award in any
court or other forum. Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required by
law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an
arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. In no event shall an arbitration be
initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the dispute,
controversy or claim would be barred by the applicable English statute of limitations.




          11.7.3 Interim Relief. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in
this Section 11.7 shall preclude either Party from seeking interim or provisional relief, including
a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief concerning
a Dispute, either prior to or during any arbitration hereunder, if necessary to protect the
interests of such Party. This Section 11.7.3 shall be specifically enforceable.




     11.8 Equitable Relief. HPA acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in Section
3.4 and Article IV of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of Emergent and that Emergent would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence
of such restrictions, and that any violation or threatened violation of any provision of Section
3.4 or Article IV will result in irreparable injury to Emergent. HPA also acknowledges and agrees
that in the event of a violation or threatened violation of any provision of Section 3.4 or Article
IV, Emergent shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the
necessity of proving irreparable injury or actual damages and without the necessity of having to
post a bond, as well as to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits

and other benefits arising from any such violation. The rights provided in the immediately
preceding sentence shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies that may be
available to Emergent. Nothing in this Section 11.8 is intended, or should be construed, to limit Emergent’s right to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief or any other remedy for a
breach of any other provision of this Agreement.




     11.9 No Benefit to Third Parties. Article II confers a benefit on those Persons referred to
in Section 2.9 (the “Emergent Beneficiaries”) and, subject to the remaining provisions of this
Section 11.9, is intended to be enforceable by the Emergent Beneficiaries by virtue of the
Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (the “Act”). The Parties do not intend that any
provisions of this Agreement, apart from those of Article II, should be enforceable by virtue of
the Act by any person who is not a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 11.9, this Agreement may be rescinded or amended in any way and at any time by the Parties
in accordance with its terms, without the consent of any of the Emergent Beneficiaries.

rights and remedies of the other Party under this Agreement.

Article, Section, Paragraph, Schedule or Exhibit shall mean references to such Article, Section,
Paragraph, Schedule or Exhibit of this Agreement, (b) references in any section to any clause are

     11.13 Independent Contractors. It is expressly agreed that HPA and Emergent shall be
independent contractors and that the relationship between the Parties shall not constitute a
partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither HPA nor Emergent shall have the authority to make
any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be
binding on the other, without the prior consent of the other Party. All persons employed by a

     11.14 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party
that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in
a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition.
The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder or the failure to exercise, or any delay in
exercising a right or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law, or the waiver of a breach by the
other Party, shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or
failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.



     11.15 Counterparts. The Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same

of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement. The term “including”
as used herein shall mean including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding
such term. The language of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language mutually chosen by
the Parties, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party.



     11.17 Entire Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement, together with the rBOT Development
Agreement, the BT Development Agreement, the BT License Agreement, and the Distribution Agreement,
sets forth and constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and all prior agreements, understanding, promises and representations,
