2. GRANT OF RIGHTS; NON-COMPETE.

      2.1. Exclusive Grant to Commercialize. In consideration of the commitments

and perform their obligations as expressly set forth in this AGREEMENT, the
Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement and the Global Supply Agreement. AVENTIS may

use, reproduce, modify and otherwise exploit the GENTA TECHNOLOGY, in each case

its AFFILIATES shall retain such rights as are reasonably necessary for them to
exercise their rights and perform their obligations as expressly set forth in
this AGREEMENT, the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement and the Global Supply
Agreement. AVENTIS may exercise such license rights through its AFFILIATES.

      2.3. Grant to Conduct Research and Development. In consideration of the

AVENTIS may exercise such license rights through its AFFILIATES.

      2.4. Conflict with Certain Existing Agreements.

of the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS to grant AVENTIS any of the license rights
set forth in Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 above, but GENTA would be authorized
under the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS to grant such license rights to an entity
owned equally by AVENTIS and GENTA, the grants under such sections shall not be
effective; provided, however, that the Parties shall, upon AVENTIS' written
request, promptly execute or cause to be executed such written agreements as are
necessary to establish and grant said license rights to such entity on terms and
conditions otherwise consistent with the provisions of this AGREEMENT, the
Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement and the Global Supply Agreement, which terms
and conditions shall not require the payment to GENTA of any additional fees or
other amounts.

            2.4.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT,
the rights and licenses granted by GENTA to AVENTIS (and its AFFILIATES and
MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS) hereunder, and under the Global Supply Agreement are
subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of the GENTA THIRD PARTY
AGREEMENTS applicable thereto, such that AVENTIS (and its AFFILIATES and
MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS) shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations on
the rights granted to GENTA under the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS and any other
obligations set forth in writing in such GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS expressly
applicable to sublicensees or sub-sublicensees (other than payment obligations).

extent such trials or activities are not included in the DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

            4.4.1. Balancing and Reconciling Payments. Within fifteen (15) days
following the end of each CALENDAR QUARTER during the term of this AGREEMENT,
each Party shall provide to the other a preliminary report reasonably detailing
in summary fashion such Party's good faith estimate of the DEVELOPMENT COSTS
incurred by such Party during such CALENDAR QUARTER. Within forty (40) days
following the end of each CALENDAR QUARTER, each Party shall provide to the
other a final report reasonably detailing in summary fashion the DEVELOPMENT
COSTS incurred by such Party during such CALENDAR QUARTER, in a form reasonably
agreed by the Parties, including a reasonably detailed accounting supporting the
costs included in the DEVELOPMENT COSTS (a "Development Cost Summary"). Payment
in order to reconcile each Party's responsibility for such costs shall be made
in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3 below.

            4.4.2. Excess Costs. No less often than once each CALENDAR QUARTER,
the Development Team shall review the actual and expected DEVELOPMENT COSTS
against the budget for such costs for the current CALENDAR YEAR. Should the
Development Team determine, or should either Party otherwise have reason to
believe (whereupon such Party shall provide the other Party with prompt written
notice thereof), that the total DEVELOPMENT COSTS for the current CALENDAR YEAR
are likely to exceed the DEVELOPMENT COSTS budgeted for such CALENDAR YEAR in
the DEVELOPMENT PLAN then in effect, the Development Team shall promptly meet

                                       18

(in person, via teleconference or in some other agreeable manner) to discuss the
situation and, if appropriate, recommend to the Alliance Management Committee
revisions to the DEVELOPMENT PLAN so that the expected DEVELOPMENT COSTS are no
longer in excess of the budget for the DEVELOPMENT PLAN. If the Development Team
cannot agree that authorization of the cost overrun is justified, it shall take
steps to remedy the situation.

expressly otherwise provided below in this Section 5.5, the Parties shall share
equally all costs of a recall, market withdrawal or other corrective action with

than (*)), including without limitation with respect to oversight of (*) or any
contractor, and not from a negligent or reckless act or omission or intentional
misconduct on the part of AVENTIS, its AFFILIATES or contractors; (ii) to the

rules or regulations, or the provisions of this AGREEMENT or the Global Supply
Agreement; and

                  (b) in the case of AVENTIS: (i) a negligent or reckless act or
omission or intentional misconduct on the part of AVENTIS or its AFFILIATES,
including without limitation with respect to oversight of any contractor, and
not from a negligent or reckless act or omission or intentional misconduct on

rules or regulations, or the provisions of this AGREEMENT or the Global Supply
Agreement, or (iv) to the extent that AVENTIS is supplying PRODUCT or COMPOUND,
the failure of COMPOUND or PRODUCT to be manufactured or shipped by AVENTIS in

of any such inspection, noting with specificity any records or documents
reviewed by the regulatory inspector, and including copies of any FDA 483s or
written communications provided by any REGULATORY AUTHORITY relating to such
inspection. Such Party or its AFFILIATES shall also provide an opportunity for
the other Party to assist in responding to any issues or concerns relating to
such inspections, and shall provide copies of all communications to and from any
REGULATORY AUTHORITY relating thereto. When a copy of a document or record is
supplied to an inspector on request, that fact will be noted in the report. The
Party or its AFFILIATES being inspected shall keep copies of each of these
records or documents in a separate inspection file and, on the other Party's
request, will provide copies of any or all of these documents or records. The
Parties shall cooperate in good faith and otherwise mutually support any
inspections by the FDA of AVENTIS' or its AFFILIATES' (or their suppliers)
facilities or clinical investigators, and any inspections by other REGULATORY
AUTHORITIES of GENTA's or its AFFILIATES' (or their suppliers) facilities or
clinical investigators.

its receipt of such sample. Promotional materials not approved within such ten

referred to the U.S. Commercialization Team for prompt resolution. As holder of
the NDA APPROVALS for PRODUCT in the United States, GENTA shall be responsible
for all interactions with the FDA regarding approval of all promotional
materials regarding PRODUCT that require FDA approval. GENTA shall promptly
forward all such materials to FDA for such approval, shall keep AVENTIS fully
informed of its interaction with the FDA with respect thereto, and shall be
diligent in seeking prompt approval by the FDA thereof. Each Party shall comply

GENTA may select which such payment shall be due, with the non-selected payment
to be paid upon the next occurrence of such Event, if any. Notwithstanding the
above, pursuant to Section 6.2.1 the same indication may trigger the milestone

      7.8. Pre-Clinical Research and Activities. Each Party and its AFFILIATES,
at such Party's expense, shall be free to conduct such internal preclinical

reasonably determines are appropriate. Each Party and its AFFILIATES, at such
Party's expense, shall be free to conduct external pre-clinical research and
activities with respect to COMPOUND and PRODUCT (i.e., activities performed by
or with THIRD PARTIES) provided that (i) such activities are coordinated in
advance with the activities being or to be conducted under the U.S. Marketing
Plan, and (ii) the U.S. Commercialization Team has not withheld its consent to
such activities, which consent shall only be withheld if the U.S.
Commercialization Team reasonably believes that such activities will have an
adverse effect on the commercialization efforts related to COMPOUND or PRODUCT.

                                       29

which are not paid by the date such payments are due under this AGREEMENT shall
bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law at a rate equal to the
thirty (30) day London Inter-Bank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") U.S. Dollars, as
quoted in The Financial Times effective for the date on which the payment was
due. This Section 11.1 shall in no way limit any other remedies available to the
Parties.

      11.2. U.S. Dollars. All sums due under this AGREEMENT shall be payable in
U.S. Dollars. Currencies other than U.S. Dollars shall be converted into U.S.
Dollars as set forth herein:

            11.2.1. For purposes of (*) above with respect to sales of PRODUCT
made in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, each month's NET SALES will be
converted to U.S. Dollars using the spot rates (the "Closing mid-point rates"

            11.2.2. With respect to DEVELOPMENT COSTS incurred by AVENTIS in
currencies other than U.S. Dollars, such costs shall be converted to U.S.

days following the end of each CALENDAR QUARTER, prepare and provide GENTA with
a report detailing the amounts due under Sections 4.4.1, 4.4.3, 7.3.3 and 10.2.4
above, and reconciling such amounts so as to determine a single payment that one
Party is required to make to the other Party by reason of their cross-payment
obligations under such Sections. If AVENTIS is the party owing such single
payment, it shall make such payment to GENTA within five (5) days after the date
that such report is due to GENTA. If GENTA is the party owing such single
payment, it shall make such payment to AVENTIS within five (5) days after its

such taxes to the appropriate governmental authority on behalf of GENTA. AVENTIS
shall properly furnish GENTA with copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment
of all such taxes, levies and assessments. GENTA and AVENTIS shall cooperate
with each other in obtaining any exemption from or reduced rate of tax available

Treatment.

                                       32
<PAGE>

shall be liable for, and indemnify GENTA against, any non-U.S. taxes, any
value-added or sales taxes, any duties or levies and assessments, howsoever
designated or computed that are required to be paid or withheld by AVENTIS on
such payments. Notwithstanding anything in this AGREEMENT to the contrary, in
the event that withholding taxes are paid on behalf of GENTA by AVENTIS, if
GENTA uses a foreign tax credit received as a result of the payment of
withholding taxes by AVENTIS and thereby reduces the amount of U.S. income tax
that GENTA otherwise would have paid, GENTA shall refund to AVENTIS the amount
of such reduction with respect to such foreign tax credit.

      11.5. Audit Rights. Each Party shall keep, and require its AFFILIATES and,
in the case of AVENTIS, their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS to keep, complete, true and
accurate books of accounts and records for the purpose of determining the
amounts payable or owed pursuant to this AGREEMENT (including without limitation
Section 10.2). Such books and records shall be kept at the principal place of
business of each Party, its AFFILIATES and such MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS for at
least five (5) years following the end of the calendar quarter to which they
pertain. Such records will be open for inspection during such five (5) year
period by an independent auditor chosen by the other Party and reasonably
acceptable to both Parties for the purpose of verifying the amounts payable
hereunder. Such inspections may be made no more than once each CALENDAR YEAR, at
reasonable times and on reasonable notice and once the records for a period are
audited they shall not be subject to re-audit. The independent auditor shall be
obligated to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to commencing
any such inspection. Inspections conducted under this Section 11.5 shall be at
the expense of the auditing Party, unless a variation or error producing an
underpayment in amounts payable exceeding five percent (5%) of the amount paid
for the entire period covered by the inspection is established in the course of
any such inspection, whereupon all reasonable out-of-pocket costs relating to
the inspection for such period (up to the amount of the underpayment) and any
unpaid amounts that are discovered shall be paid by the audited Party, together
with interest on such unpaid amounts at the rate set forth in Section 11.1
above. The Parties will endeavor to minimize disruption of the audited Party's
normal business activities to the extent reasonably practicable.

12. CONFIDENTIALITY.

      12.1. Nondisclosure. "Confidential Information" means any information,
data, or know-how which the disclosing Party treats confidentially and
identifies as confidential or which the recipient knows or should have reason to
believe is so treated. Each Party shall not (and shall require that its
AFFILIATES and, in the case of AVENTIS, their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS do not) use
or reveal or disclose to THIRD PARTIES any Confidential Information received
from the other Party without first obtaining the written consent of the
disclosing Party, except as may be reasonably necessary in performing such

                                       33
<PAGE>

Party's obligations or exercising such Party's rights under this AGREEMENT. Each
Party may disclose any Confidential Information received from the other Party to
its AFFILIATES and, in the case of AVENTIS, their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS, on a
need-to-know basis only, and such Party shall be responsible for its AFFILIATES'
and, in the case of AVENTIS, their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS', compliance with the
provisions of this Section 12 with respect thereto. Each Party shall take (and
shall require its AFFILIATES and, in the case of AVENTIS, their MARKETING
DISTRIBUTORS to take) reasonable steps to prevent any unauthorized use or
disclosure of the other Party's Confidential Information to THIRD PARTIES. The
obligations of confidentiality under this Section shall remain in effect until
the later of five (5) years after any termination of the term of this AGREEMENT,
or fifteen (15) years following the Effective Date.

      12.2. Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations in this Section 12 shall
not apply to information which (a) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge
through no fault of the receiving Party or any person to whom the receiving
Party provided such information, or (b) is or was already in the possession of
the receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing Party, or (c) is
disclosed to the receiving Party by a THIRD PARTY having the right to do so, or
(d) is subsequently and independently developed by or on behalf of the receiving
Party or its AFFILIATES by persons having no access to the disclosing Party's
Confidential Information, (e) is reasonably required to be disclosed in
connection with obtaining or maintaining MAA APPROVALS for PRODUCT, or (f) is
required by law to be disclosed, provided that the receiving Party uses
reasonable efforts to give the disclosing Party advance notice of such required
disclosure in sufficient time to enable the disclosing Party to seek
confidential treatment for such information, and provided further that the
receiving Party limits the disclosure to that information which is required to
be disclosed.

      12.3. Terms of Agreement. Except as set forth below, no announcement or
other disclosure, public or otherwise, concerning the financial or other terms
of this AGREEMENT shall be made, either directly or indirectly, by any Party to
this AGREEMENT, except as may be legally required, without first obtaining the
written approval of the other Party and agreement upon the nature and text of
such announcement or disclosure, such approval and agreement not to be
unreasonably withheld. The Party desiring to make any announcement or other
disclosure concerning the terms of this AGREEMENT shall provide the other Party
with a copy of the proposed announcement or disclosure for review and comment in
reasonably sufficient time prior to undertaking the announcement or disclosure.
Each Party agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate with the other with respect
to all disclosures regarding this AGREEMENT to the Securities Exchange
Commission and any other governmental or regulatory agencies. In addition, the
Parties will coordinate in advance with each other on the terms of this
AGREEMENT that the Parties shall seek to be redacted in any SEC filings, and

                                       34
<PAGE>

each Party shall use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for such
terms, provided that each Party shall ultimately retain control over what
information to disclose to the SEC or any other such agencies. The Parties will
mutually agree upon the contents of a joint press release (and accompanying Q&A)
which shall be issued simultaneously by both Parties upon the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding the above, the Parties shall be free to publicly disclose
information contained in such press release or Q&A, or in any other materials
that have been previously approved for disclosure by the other Party, without
further approvals from the other Party hereunder, to the extent there have been
no material additions or changes thereto.

      12.4. Publications and Public Presentations. Neither Party shall submit
for written or oral publication, or present at any public conference or meeting,
any manuscript, abstract, talk, handout or the like that includes DATA or other
information concerning the safety or efficacy of PRODUCT that is not publicly
known without first obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The contribution of each Party, if any,
shall be noted in all publications or presentations by acknowledgment or
co-authorship, whichever is appropriate. The foregoing shall not prohibit either
Party from assisting in the submission of data or information on behalf of a
THIRD PARTY investigator.

13. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

      13.1. Proprietary Rights, Inventions.

            13.1.1. As between the parties, GENTA shall retain sole ownership of
and exclusive title to the GENTA TECHNOLOGY and the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS. Any and
all inventions resulting from the activities conducted by either Party's
employees, agents or contractors under this AGREEMENT (each, an "Invention")
shall be promptly disclosed in writing to the other Party. Inventorship for
patentable Inventions conceived or reduced to practice during the course or as a
result of the performance of such activities shall be determined in accordance
with U.S. patent laws, and ownership of all Inventions shall be determined based
on inventorship. Inventions jointly invented by employees, agents or contractors
of both Parties ("Joint Inventions") shall be jointly owned by both Parties,
and, except as expressly set forth herein, neither Party shall have any
obligations of accounting to the other Party with respect thereto. The Parties
shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the filing, prosecution,
maintenance and enforcement of all patents and patent applications claiming any
Joint Inventions.

            13.1.2. Upon the expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT for any
reason other than a material breach by GENTA under Section 15.2, AVENTIS shall
grant, and hereby grants, to GENTA a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable
license to any of AVENTIS' Inventions reasonably necessary for the manufacture,
use, formulation or delivery of COMPOUND or PRODUCT, solely for sale in the
United States, in such forms as COMPOUND and PRODUCT are being developed or

                                       35
<PAGE>

commercialized as of the date of such expiration or termination. GENTA shall be
permitted to sublicense such rights solely to a marketing partner or distributor
in connection with the promotion, marketing and distribution of COMPOUND or
PRODUCT. Such license rights to GENTA shall be royalty free, except that GENTA
shall be required to reimburse AVENTIS in full for any royalties, licensing
fees, sublicensing fees and other amounts owed by AVENTIS to THIRD PARTIES on
account of GENTA's or its marketing partners' or distributors' use or other
exploitation of such AVENTIS Inventions.

      13.2. Transfer of Technology. Upon AVENTIS' request, GENTA shall promptly
disclose to AVENTIS such of the GENTA TECHNOLOGY as AVENTIS determines is
reasonably necessary for AVENTIS to perform its obligations or exercise its
rights under this AGREEMENT. The manner of such disclosure shall be as mutually
determined by the Parties in good faith and shall be at no additional cost to
AVENTIS.

      13.3. Patent Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance.

            13.3.1. Performance by GENTA. GENTA shall file, prosecute and
maintain, or require its licensors to file, prosecute and maintain, all patent
applications and patents included in the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS, and conduct any
interferences, re-examinations, reissues and oppositions with respect thereto,
in the United States, Canada, all member countries of the European Union, Japan
and such other countries in the TERRITORY as either Party shall reasonably
request (collectively, the "GENTA Prosecution Activities"), at GENTA's expense.
In this regard, GENTA shall permit AVENTIS to review reasonably in advance and
to make recommendations concerning the GENTA Prosecution Activities, including,
without limitation, any filings and submissions to the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office or any foreign counterparts thereof , and GENTA shall consider in good
faith and, where appropriate, shall adopt all reasonable recommendations of
AVENTIS with respect thereto.

            13.3.2. Performance by AVENTIS. Should GENTA be unable or unwilling
to perform any of the GENTA Prosecution Activities, GENTA shall provide AVENTIS
with at least sixty (60) days' prior notice (or, if 60 days' prior notice is not
reasonably possible, the longest lesser prior notice as is reasonably possible)
of GENTA's discontinuance thereof. In the event GENTA or its licensors fail to
perform, or it appears that GENTA or its licensors are reasonably likely to fail
to perform, any of the GENTA Prosecution Activities, then AVENTIS, to the extent
not prohibited under GENTA's agreements with its licensors, shall have the right
to perform such activities on GENTA's or its licensors' behalf. In such case,
GENTA shall promptly execute, or shall obtain from its licensors the prompt
execution of, all necessary documents that may be required in order to enable
AVENTIS to perform the GENTA Prosecution Activities on GENTA's or its licensors'
behalf. All costs incurred by AVENTIS in performing any of the GENTA Prosecution
Activities shall be deductible in full from any amounts due and owing by AVENTIS
to GENTA under this AGREEMENT.

                                       36
<PAGE>

            13.3.3. Cooperation. Each Party shall keep the other Party
reasonably informed as to the status of all GENTA Prosecution Activities being
conducted by such Party. Each Party shall each reasonably cooperate with and
assist the other Party in connection with such activities at such Party's own
expense and upon the other Party's request, including, without limitation, by
making scientists and scientific records reasonably available to the prosecuting
Party.

      13.4. U.S. Patent Infringement Claims.

            13.4.1. Each Party shall give the other prompt written notice of any
suit or action by a THIRD PARTY against either Party for patent infringement
involving the manufacture, use, sale, distribution or marketing of COMPOUND or
PRODUCT in the United States, or to invalidate or assert non-infringement of any
of the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS under which PRODUCT is being manufactured, sold,
used, distributed or marketed in the United States, or upon the filing of an
abbreviated new drug application related to related to COMPOUND or PRODUCT
(each, a "U.S. Patent Infringement Claim"). With respect to each U.S. Patent
Infringement Claim, the Parties shall determine by mutual agreement, within
twenty (20) days following their receipt of notice of the commencement of or
assertion of such U.S. Patent Infringement Claim (or such lesser period of time
as may be required to properly respond to such claim) which Party shall assume
the lead role in the defense thereof. Should the Parties be unable to mutually
agree on who shall assume the lead role in the defense of any U.S. Patent
Infringement Claim, AVENTIS shall be entitled to assume such role, and if
AVENTIS declines or fails to diligently assume such role, GENTA shall be
entitled to assume such role.

            13.4.2. The Party assuming the lead role in the defense of any U.S.
Patent Infringement Claim (the "Controlling Party") shall consult with the other
Party on all material aspects of the defense, including, without limitation,
settlement, of such claim, the other Party shall have a reasonable opportunity
to participate in decision-making with respect to the strategy of such defense,
and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with
the implementation thereof. The non-defending Party shall also have the right to
participate in the defense of any U.S. Patent Infringement Claim utilizing
attorneys of its choice, at its own expense. In furtherance of the Parties'
cooperation, the Controlling Party will consult with the other Party regarding
strategic decisions, including, without limitation, the retention of counsel for
defense of any U.S. Patent Infringement Claim. The Controlling Party will
otherwise keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status and progress of
the defense and any settlement discussions concerning each U.S. Patent

                                       37
<PAGE>

Infringement Claim, and the Parties shall provide each other with all reasonably
requested assistance and will reasonably cooperate with each other in connection
therewith. (*).

            13.4.3. The Parties shall share equally in all LOSSES arising out of
or resulting from any U.S. Patent Infringement Claim to the extent relating to
any COMPOUND or PRODUCT, as well as any and all royalties, licensing fees and
other amounts owed under any agreements respecting the settlement of such U.S.
Patent Infringement Claim. The Parties shall establish such procedures as are
reasonably necessary to permit them to reconcile their actual payments for such
LOSSES with their percentage share of responsibility for such LOSSES on a
quarterly basis, within sixty (60) days following the end of each CALENDAR
QUARTER.

            13.4.4. U.S. Patent Infringement Claims shall be governed
exclusively by this Section 13.4 and, except in accordance with this Section
13.4, neither Party shall seek from the other Party any indemnity or other
recovery on account of any such claims; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section 13.4 shall limit either Party's liability to the other for damages on
account of any breach by such Party of its representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements under Section 17.1 or Section 17.2 below.

      13.5. License of Third Party Rights.

            13.5.1. Freedom to Operate License Rights. If GENTA or AVENTIS
reasonably determines that a license to any PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY of a
THIRD PARTY not already included in the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA
TECHNOLOGY is reasonably necessary for the Parties to make, have made, sell,
offer for sale, use or import COMPOUND or PRODUCT then being sold or developed
for sale in the United States, such Party shall provide the other Party with
written notice thereof. Upon the other Party's approval, not to be unreasonably
withheld (taking into account factors that include without limitation the
likelihood and presumption of validity of a THIRD PARTY'S PATENT RIGHTS from a
practical and legal standpoint in the relevant country, the cost of obtaining a
license, and the risks of not obtaining such license), the Parties shall enter
into good faith discussions with such THIRD PARTY in order to obtain a license
to such PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY in order to develop and sell such COMPOUND
or PRODUCT in the United States on terms reasonably acceptable to both Parties,
such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (*).

<PAGE>

            13.5.2. Mutually Desired License Rights. If GENTA or AVENTIS
reasonably determines that it would be desirable to obtain license rights to any
PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY of a THIRD PARTY not already included in the GENTA
PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA TECHNOLOGY, other than under the circumstances
described in Section 13.5.1 above, for the Parties to make, have made, sell,
offer for sale, use or import COMPOUND or PRODUCT, or any OTHER COMPOUND or
OTHER PRODUCT, for sale or development for sale in the United States, such Party
shall provide the other Party with written notice thereof. Should the Parties
mutually agree that one or both of them should obtain a license to such PATENT
RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY for such purposes, they shall enter into good faith
discussions with such THIRD PARTY in order to obtain license rights thereto on
terms reasonably acceptable to both Parties. (*)

            13.5.3. Other License Rights. If GENTA and AVENTIS cannot mutually
agree on the terms under which one or both of them should obtain license rights
to any PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY of a THIRD PARTY that either Party desires to
obtain under Section 13.5.1 or 13.5.2 above, and if GENTA nonetheless enters
into an agreement to license any such PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY from such
THIRD PARTY, such PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY shall be excluded from the
definitions of GENTA PATENT RIGHTS and GENTA TECHNOLOGY under this AGREEMENT
unless (*)

            13.5.4. Nothing in this Section 13.5 shall limit either Party's
rights or remedies on account of any breach by the other Party of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under Section 17.1 or
Section 17.2 below.

      13.6. Enforcement Against Third Parties. If either Party reasonably
believes that a THIRD PARTY is manufacturing, selling or using COMPOUND or
PRODUCT, or any OTHER COMPOUND or OTHER PRODUCT, or is otherwise infringing
PATENT RIGHTS controlled by AVENTIS or GENTA that cover COMPOUND or PRODUCT, or
any OTHER COMPOUND or OTHER PRODUCT, such Party shall promptly notify the other
Party hereto.

Promptly after such notice, the Parties shall meet to discuss the course of
action to be taken with respect thereto, including an enforcement action
relating to infringement of the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA TECHNOLOGY,
and, as appropriate, may enter into a joint litigation agreement covering the
control thereof and the Parties shall share equally in all costs and recoveries.
Neither Party shall initiate an infringement suit against such THIRD PARTY with
respect to said activities except as the Parties shall mutually agree, such

Treatment.

                                       39
<PAGE>

agreement not to be unreasonably withheld. Moreover, any settlement or other
similar agreement under which such THIRD PARTY is granted rights under the GENTA
PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA TECHNOLOGY shall not be inconsistent with the rights
granted to AVENTIS hereunder or under the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement or
the Global Supply Agreement.

      13.7. Patent Marking. AVENTIS shall mark, and to require its AFFILIATES
and their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS to mark, all patented PRODUCT sold or
distributed pursuant to this AGREEMENT in accordance with the applicable patent
statutes or regulations in the country or countries of manufacture and/or sale
thereof. GENTA shall cooperate in providing all relevant patent and marketing
information for AVENTIS to do so.

      13.8. Patent Term Extensions. The Parties shall cooperate to file all
applications and take all actions reasonably necessary to obtain patent
extensions pursuant to 35 USC 156 (or like foreign statutes) for the GENTA
PATENT RIGHTS at GENTA's expense. Each Party shall sign such documents and take
such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party in
connection therewith.

      13.9. Conflict with Certain Existing Agreements. To the extent that GENTA
is not authorized under the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS to grant AVENTIS any of
the rights set forth in this Section 13 with respect to the filing, prosecution,
maintenance and/or enforcement of any of the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS, AVENTIS'
rights under this Section 13 shall be limited to those which are permitted under
the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS in a manner to effectuate, to the greatest
extent, the intent and purposes of this Section 13.

14. TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS.

      14.1. Division of Rights. It is the intent of the Parties to develop and
use a single PRODUCT TRADEMARK on and in connection with the marketing, sale,
advertising and/or promotion of PRODUCT worldwide, with GENTA holding all right,
title and interest in and to the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the United States (subject
to the license rights granted herein), and AVENTIS holding all right, title and
interest in and to the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the ROW (subject to the terms of the
Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement between the Parties). If it is determined
that it is not possible to register or otherwise use the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in
any country of the ROW, AVENTIS shall select an appropriate trademark for
adoption in such country. The U.S. Commercialization Team shall be responsible
for determining the uses of any Internet domain names that include or are
similar to the PRODUCT TRADEMARK (and if GENTA already owns such domain names as
of the Effective Date, GENTA shall pay the registration/renewal costs associated
with any such Internet domain names).

                                       40
<PAGE>

      14.2. Display. All packaging materials, package inserts, labels and
marketing, sales, advertising and promotional materials relating to PRODUCT
distributed in the United States shall display the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in a form
and style and with a placement determined by the U.S. Commercialization Team.
The GENTA HOUSEMARK(S) and the AVENTIS HOUSEMARK(S) shall be given similar
exposure and prominence on all such items to the extent permitted by applicable
laws and regulations and subject to obtaining all necessary regulatory
approvals. The appearance of the PRODUCT TRADEMARK, the GENTA HOUSEMARK(S) and
the AVENTIS HOUSEMARK(S) with respect to PRODUCT, shall be determined by the
U.S. Commercialization Team, subject to the remainder of this Section 14.

      14.3. Approvals and Quality Control Standards. All use of the GENTA
HOUSEMARK(S) shall be consistent with such quality control standards and
reasonable trademark usage guidelines as GENTA applies to its own proprietary
marks, as such standards and guidelines may be modified and communicated to the
U.S. Commercialization Team in writing. All use of the AVENTIS HOUSEMARK(S)
shall be consistent with such quality control standards and reasonable trademark
usage guidelines as AVENTIS applies to its own proprietary marks, as such
standards and guidelines may be modified and communicated to the U.S.
Commercialization Team in writing. AVENTIS (and GENTA where applicable) shall
submit representative packaging materials, package inserts, labels and
promotional materials for PRODUCT to the U.S. Commercialization Team for its
approval prior to their first use and prior to any subsequent material change or
addition to such items.

      14.4. License Rights.

            14.4.1. Grant by GENTA. GENTA hereby grants to AVENTIS an exclusive
(subject to GENTA's co-promotion rights under Section 7 above), royalty-free
license to use the PRODUCT TRADEMARK and the GENTA HOUSEMARK(S) on and in
connection with the marketing, sale, advertising and/or promotion of PRODUCT in
the United States during the term of this AGREEMENT, and thereafter on a
non-exclusive basis during the Trailing Period. At no additional cost, AVENTIS
shall have the right to grant sublicenses to the foregoing license rights to its
AFFILIATES and their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS. AVENTIS acknowledges that the
ownership and all goodwill from the use of the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the United
States and the GENTA HOUSEMARK(S) shall vest in and inure to the benefit of
GENTA.

            14.4.2. Grant by AVENTIS. AVENTIS hereby grants to GENTA a
non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the AVENTIS HOUSEMARK(S) in the
United States solely in conjunction with GENTA's exercise of its co-promotion
rights under Section 7 above. GENTA acknowledges that the AVENTIS HOUSEMARK(S)
are the exclusive property of AVENTIS, and that nothing in this AGREEMENT grants
GENTA or any person or entity any rights, title or interest therein, except for

                                       41
<PAGE>

the license rights expressly granted hereunder. GENTA may not assign or
sublicense any rights in and to the AVENTIS HOUSEMARK(S) to any THIRD PARTY
without the prior written approval of AVENTIS. GENTA acknowledges the ownership
and all goodwill from the use of the AVENTIS HOUSEMARK(S) shall vest in and
inure to the benefit of AVENTIS.

      14.5. Registration. GENTA shall file, register and maintain an appropriate
registration for the PRODUCT TRADEMARK for use with PRODUCT in the United States
for the term of this AGREEMENT at GENTA's sole expense. AVENTIS shall not
register or attempt to register the PRODUCT TRADEMARK, or any confusingly
similar variations thereof, in the United States for the term of this AGREEMENT,
nor shall AVENTIS at any time register or attempt to register the GENTA
HOUSEMARK(S), or any confusingly similar variations thereof, anywhere in the
TERRITORY. GENTA shall not register or attempt to register any trade/service
mark, symbol, logo and/or trade dress that is a confusingly similar variation of
the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the United States for the term of this AGREEMENT, nor
shall GENTA at any time register or attempt to register the AVENTIS
HOUSEMARK(S), or any confusingly similar variations thereof, anywhere in the
TERRITORY.

      14.6. Enforcement.

            14.6.1. Cooperation. AVENTIS and GENTA shall cooperate with each
other and use reasonable efforts to protect their respective marks, including
the PRODUCT TRADEMARK, from infringement by THIRD PARTIES. Without limiting the
foregoing, each Party shall promptly notify the other party of any known,
threatened or suspected infringement, imitation or unauthorized use of or unfair
competition relating to the PRODUCT TRADEMARK, the AVENTIS HOUSEMARK(S) or the
GENTA HOUSEMARK(S).

            14.6.2. AVENTIS and GENTA Marks. AVENTIS reserves the right to
determine, in its sole discretion, whether and to what extent to institute and
prosecute or defend any actions or proceedings involving or affecting the
AVENTIS HOUSEMARK(S). GENTA reserves the right to determine, in its sole
discretion, whether and to what extent to institute and prosecute or defend any
actions or proceedings involving or affecting the GENTA HOUSEMARK(S). Each Party
shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in any action taken by the other
Party to enforce, or defend, its respective rights in such marks, at the expense
of the respective mark owner. The respective owner of the infringed mark shall
have the sole right, at its expense, to defend and settle for monetary or other
damages any claim made by a third party alleging that the use of such marks
infringe the rights of others.

                                       42
<PAGE>

            14.6.3. Product Trademark. GENTA shall have the first right to
determine in its discretion whether to and to what extent to institute,
prosecute and/or defend any action or proceedings involving or affecting any
rights relating to the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the United States, subject to
AVENTIS' right to consent to any proposed settlement thereof, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon GENTA's reasonable request, AVENTIS
shall cooperate with and assist GENTA in any of GENTA's enforcement efforts with
respect to the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the United States. If GENTA determines not
to take action against any actual or suspected infringement of the PRODUCT
TRADEMARK in the United States within thirty (30) days after having become aware
of such infringement, or if GENTA otherwise fails to diligently pursue cessation
of the infringing activity, then AVENTIS shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to bring or assume control of any action against the allegedly
infringing THIRD PARTY as AVENTIS determines may be necessary in its sole
discretion. In the event that AVENTIS brings or assumes control of any such
action, then GENTA agrees to reasonably assist AVENTIS in connection therewith.
The Parties shall share equally in all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by
either of them in connection with any such action, and, following each Party's
recovery of its respective costs and expenses, the Parties will share equally in
all money damages, if any, recovered in connection with such action.

      14.7. Avoidance of Confusion. Neither GENTA or AVENTIS, nor any of their
AFFILIATES, shall market, promote, sell and/or distribute in the United States,
or authorize or permit another to market, promote, sell and/or distribute in the
United States, any product other than PRODUCT under the PRODUCT TRADEMARK or any
confusingly similar trademark. AVENTIS and its AFFILIATES shall not, directly or
indirectly, contest the validity of or GENTA's rights in the PRODUCT TRADEMARK
in the United States, or the GENTA HOUSEMARK(S) anywhere in the TERRITORY, or
assist any THIRD PARTY in doing so. GENTA and its AFFILIATES shall not, directly
or indirectly, contest the validity of or AVENTIS' rights in the AVENTIS
HOUSEMARK(S) anywhere in the TERRITORY, or assist any THIRD PARTY in doing so.
In the event that actual confusion should arise, or either Party reasonably
believes that a likelihood of confusion may arise, in connection with the
Parties' respective uses of the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the United States, or of
the AVENTIS HOUSEMARK(S) or GENTA HOUSEMARK(S) anywhere in the TERRITORY, the
Parties will fully cooperate in an effort to eliminate such confusion and to
avoid the possibility of such a likelihood of confusion.

      14.8. Non-Assignment. During the term of this Agreement and, if
applicable, any Trailing Period, GENTA agrees not to assign or transfer its
rights in and to the PRODUCT TRADEMARK, and/or any associated federal or state
trademark registrations or pending applications, or domain name registrations
incorporating the PRODUCT TRADEMARK string, to any THIRD PARTY, except in
connection with a permitted assignment of this AGREEMENT as a whole.

                                       43
<PAGE>

      14.9. Copyrights. The Parties shall hold jointly an equal and undivided
interest in and to the copyrights in all packaging, labels, marketing, sales,
advertising or promotional materials relating to the PRODUCT in the United
States ("U.S. Copyrighted Works"); provided that, except as expressly provided
in this AGREEMENT, it is understood that neither Party shall have any obligation
to account to the other for profits or to obtain any approval of the other party
to exploit the U.S. Copyrighted Works by reason of such joint ownership. To the
extent such materials include or incorporate original works of authorship
created by one Party prior to the Effective Date, the other Party shall not use,
or make any proprietary claim with regard to, those pre-existing materials
separate and apart from their use and inclusion in U.S. Copyrighted Works
relating to PRODUCT. GENTA agrees not to register, distribute, display or
otherwise exploit, in any media now known or hereafter developed, the U.S.
Copyrighted Works outside of the United States (except to the extent GENTA is
using the internet and similar electronic mediums for the purpose of conducting
activities within the United States but that may be accessible to users outside
of the United States), and may not assign, license or otherwise transfer to any
THIRD PARTY any interest in and to the U.S. Copyrighted Works without AVENTIS'
prior written consent. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to enforce
and defend, including but not limited to registering with the United States
Copyright Office, their interest in the U.S. Copyrighted Works, and shall take
no action to this end without the consent of the other Party. AVENTIS shall hold
the exclusive right to copy, distribute, display, and create derivatives of the
U.S. Copyrighted Works, in any and all media now know or hereafter developed,
and to enforce, defend or secure registrations for the U.S. Copyrighted Works,
in any countries of the ROW, or to license such rights to any THIRD PARTY, with
no duty to account to GENTA. Each Party will, if requested by the other Party,
supply such documentation or other information required to support any
application or registration of the U.S. Copyrighted Works with any applicable
registry or governmental authority, or to evidence or perfect their rights in
and to the U.S. Copyrighted Works under this Section 14.9.

15. TERM AND TERMINATION.

      15.1. Expiration. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Section, this
AGREEMENT shall continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the
last to expire or be invalidated of any GENTA G3139 PATENT RIGHTS in the United
States or any other GENTA PATENT RIGHTS in the United States Covering PRODUCT
then being commercialized; provided, however, that the term of this AGREEMENT
shall automatically be extended on a year-to-year basis thereafter unless and
until AVENTIS shall have provided GENTA with at least six (6) months' prior
written notice of its election to let the term of this AGREEMENT expire at the

                                       44
<PAGE>

end of the then-current extension period. For the purposes of this paragraph,
"Covering" means, with respect to a PATENT RIGHT, that, but for a license
granted to a party under a VALID CLAIM included in such PATENT RIGHT, the
practice by a person or entity of an invention claimed in such PATENT RIGHT
would infringe such VALID CLAIM, or, in the case of a PATENT RIGHT that is a
patent application, would infringe a VALID CLAIM in such patent application if
it were to issue as a patent.

      15.2. Termination For Breach. Either Party may terminate this AGREEMENT on
written notice to the other Party in the event the other Party shall have: (i)
materially breached any of its representations or warranties hereunder, under
the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement or under the Global Supply Agreement; or
(ii) materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its covenants
or agreements hereunder, under the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement or under
the Global Supply Agreement and such breach or default shall have continued for
ninety (90) days after written notice thereof was provided to the Party in
breach or default by the other Party; provided, however, that if such breach or
default is not reasonably capable of cure within ninety (90) days, then such
cure period shall be extended for so long as such Party diligently pursues cure
of such breach, but in no event for longer than an additional ninety (90) days.
Any termination shall become effective immediately or, if there is a cure
period, after the expiry of such cure period. In determining whether a
particular breach or default is "material", the breach or default shall be
viewed in relation to the entirety of this AGREEMENT, the Ex-U.S.
Commercialization Agreement and the Global Supply Agreement, and not in relation
to only the agreement under which such breach or default occurred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 15.2 shall
preclude AVENTIS from terminating this AGREEMENT as otherwise expressly
permitted hereunder.

      15.3. Termination by AVENTIS. Upon six (6) months prior written notice to
GENTA (the "Exit Notice Period"), AVENTIS may terminate this AGREEMENT in its
sole discretion, (*).

      15.4. Cross-Default and Termination. Any material breach or default
permitting a Party to terminate this AGREEMENT under Section 15.2 above shall
also constitute a breach or default permitting, but not requiring, such Party to
terminate the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement for a material breach or
default under Section 13.2 thereof. A Party seeking to terminate the Ex-U.S.
Commercialization Agreement by reason of a material breach or default under this
AGREEMENT must do so within sixty (60) days after providing a termination notice
under Section 15.2 above, or such Party shall have waived its rights to
terminate the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement for such breach or default,
provided that if the termination of this AGREEMENT does not take effect due to a
cure of such breach or default within the applicable cure period, the
termination of the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement shall not be effective.
Termination of this AGREEMENT for any reason other than a material breach or

                                       45
<PAGE>

default as permitted under Section 15.2 above shall result in the automatic
termination of the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement (although such
termination of the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement shall not be deemed a
termination for material breach or default under Section 13.2 thereof).
Moreover, termination of both this AGREEMENT and the Ex-U.S. Commercialization
Agreement shall result in the automatic termination of the Global Supply
Agreement.

16. RIGHTS AND DUTIES UPON TERMINATION.

      16.1. Outstanding Payment. Payments of amounts owing to either Party under
this AGREEMENT as of its expiration or termination shall be due and payable
within the later of (i) to the extent such amounts can be calculated and a fixed
sum determined at the time of expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT, sixty
(60) days after the date of such expiration or termination, or (ii) ten (10)
days after the date in which such amounts can be calculated and a fixed sum
determined.

      16.2. Sale of Remaining Inventory. Upon termination of this AGREEMENT,
AVENTIS shall notify GENTA of the amount of PRODUCT AVENTIS, its AFFILIATES and
their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS then have on hand or have committed to purchase or
sell in the United States. For a period ending upon the earlier of: (i) AVENTIS,
its AFFILIATES and their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS sale of all PRODUCT in their
possession on the date of termination of this AGREEMENT, or (ii) within the
twelve (12) month period following such termination (the "Trailing Period"),
AVENTIS, its AFFILIATES and their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS shall be permitted to
sell all such PRODUCT and GENTA hereby grants a non-exclusive royalty-free
license reasonably necessary to sell such PRODUCT; provided, however, that GENTA
shall have the right to purchase such PRODUCT from AVENTIS at the actual cost
AVENTIS paid for the manufacture and supply of such PRODUCT. Any remaining
quantities of PRODUCT not sold during the Trailing Period shall be destroyed.

      16.3. Return of Materials. Within sixty (60) days after expiration of the
Trailing Period, each Party shall destroy or return to the other Party all
tangible items bearing, containing, or contained in, any of the Confidential
Information of the other Party, and shall provide the other Party written
certification of such destruction or return.

      16.4. Transfer of Data. Within three (3) months after AVENTIS provides
GENTA with a written notice of termination under Section 15.3 above, or a
written notice that AVENTIS has elected to let this AGREEMENT expire at the end
of the term or the then current extension period (as applicable), or, if this
AGREEMENT is terminated for any other reason, promptly upon such termination,
AVENTIS shall provide GENTA copies of all reasonably necessary DATA relating to
PRODUCT then being sold under this AGREEMENT, and shall assign to GENTA or its
designee(s), or, to the extent not reasonably assignable, permit GENTA or its

                                       46
<PAGE>

designee(s) to reference, such of AVENTIS' U.S. filings, authorizations and the
like (including, without limitation, study protocols, study results, analytical
methodologies, bulk and final product manufacturing process descriptions, batch
records, vendor qualifications, validation documentation and regulatory
documentation) that are reasonably necessary for GENTA or its designee(s) to
continue such sales activities. From and after such time, all such DATA and
information specifically pertaining to the PRODUCT shall be deemed Confidential
Information of GENTA (i.e., to the same extent as if such information had been
first disclosed to AVENTIS by GENTA under this AGREEMENT), subject to the
exceptions described in Section 12.2 (a), (c), (e) or (f) above (but not subject
to the exceptions in Section 12.2 (b) or (d) above).

      16.5. Cooperation and Transition. During the six (6) month period
following AVENTIS' written notice of termination under Section 15.3 above, or
AVENTIS' written notice that AVENTIS has elected to let this AGREEMENT expire at
the end of the term or the then current extension period (as applicable), or, if
this AGREEMENT is terminated for any other reason, during the six (6) month
period immediately following such termination, AVENTIS shall use COMMERCIALLY
REASONABLE EFFORTS to cooperate with GENTA to provide for an orderly transition
of the development, regulatory and commercialization activities being performed
by AVENTIS hereunder with respect to PRODUCT in the United States, to GENTA or
its designee(s). In addition, AVENTIS shall cooperate fully to transition to
GENTA upon GENTA's request any arrangement with any contractor from which
AVENTIS had arranged to obtain a supply of COMPOUND or PRODUCT hereunder. In the
event that such materials are manufactured by AVENTIS or its AFFILIATES, then
AVENTIS shall continue to provide GENTA at cost with such materials for the
completion of any clinical trials on-going as of the date of transition, and
shall also supply to GENTA at cost a final, reasonable quantity of material
(bulk product or otherwise) as ordered by GENTA within thirty (30) days after
the date of transition. AVENTIS shall be obligated to produce such quantity of
material ordered by GENTA, but only to the extent that AVENTIS, prior to the
date of transition, was producing such material at a scale which would permit
supply of such quantity in a single batch run, consistent with AVENTIS' past
practices with respect to such COMPOUND or PRODUCT hereunder.

      16.6. Trademarks. Upon the expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT
(and, in the event of a termination, following any Trailing Period), GENTA's
right to use the AVENTIS HOUSEMARK(S) anywhere in the TERRITORY, and AVENTIS'
right to use the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the United States and the GENTA
HOUSEMARK(S) anywhere in the TERRITORY, shall automatically cease.

                                       47
<PAGE>

      16.7. Survival. Upon the expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT, all
rights and obligations of the parties under this AGREEMENT shall terminate
except those described in the following Sections: Sections 5.5 (with respect to
PRODUCT purchased and/or sold by AVENTIS during the term of this AGREEMENT or
any applicable Trailing Period), 11.4, 11.5, 12.1-12.4, 13.1.1, 13.1.2, 14.1,
14.5, 14.7, 14.9, 16.1-16.9, 17.3-17.8, 17.10, 18.2, 18.4-18.7, and 18.9-18.14;
and, in addition, to the extent that the Ex-US Agreement survives and the U.S.
Agreement terminates, Sections 4.5, 5.1.3, and 5.1.5 (with references therein to
any Teams applicable to each of the Parties); and, in addition, to the extent
that any PRODUCT is sold during the Trailing Period defined in Section 16.2,
Sections 10.2-10.4, 11.1-11.5, 14.4 and 14.8.

      16.8. Other. It is understood that termination or expiration of this
AGREEMENT shall not relieve a Party from any liability which, at the time of
such termination or expiration, has already accrued to the other Party or which
is attributable to a period prior to such termination. Termination or expiration
of the AGREEMENT in accordance with the provisions hereof shall not limit
remedies which may be otherwise available in law or equity with respect to a
breach hereof that occurred prior to such termination.

      16.9. Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or
pursuant to this AGREEMENT by GENTA to AVENTIS are, and shall otherwise be
deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and
other similar foreign laws, licenses of rights to "intellectual property" as
defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or such foreign laws.
GENTA agrees that AVENTIS, as a licensee of such rights under this AGREEMENT,
shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code and other similar foreign laws. GENTA further agree that,
in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against GENTA
under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, AVENTIS shall be entitled to a complete
duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual
property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and the same, if not
already in AVENTIS' possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (i) upon any
such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon its written request therefor,
unless GENTA elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this
AGREEMENT, or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, upon the rejection of this
AGREEMENT by or on behalf of GENTA upon written request therefor by AVENTIS.

17. WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.

      17.1. General Representations. Each Party hereby represents and warrants
to the other Party as follows:

                                       48
<PAGE>

            17.1.1. Duly Organized. Such Party is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its incorporation, is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or
the ownership of its properties requires such qualification and failure to have
such would prevent it from performing its obligations under this AGREEMENT.

            17.1.2. Due Execution. The execution, delivery and performance by
such Party of this AGREEMENT have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval of
its stockholders; (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation,
order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in
effect having applicability to it or any provision of its charter or bylaws; or
(iii) conflict with or constitute a default under any other agreement or
understanding to which such Party is a party.

            17.1.3. Binding Agreement. This AGREEMENT is a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against it in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof, and such Party is not under any obligation to any
person or entity, contractual or otherwise, that is in conflict with the terms
of this AGREEMENT, nor will such Party undertake any such obligation during the
term of this AGREEMENT.

            17.1.4. Authorizations. Such Party has obtained all authorizations,
consents and approvals, governmental or otherwise, necessary for such Party to
grant the rights and licenses granted by such Party under this AGREEMENT, and to
otherwise perform such Party's obligations under this AGREEMENT.

            17.1.5. Third-Party Claims. Except for the GENTA THIRD PARTY
AGREEMENTS, neither such Party, nor any of its AFFILIATES, are a party to, or
are otherwise bound by, any oral or written contract that will result in any
person or entity obtaining any interest in, or that would give to any THIRD
PARTY any right to assert any claim in or with respect to, any of such Party's
or the other Party's rights under this AGREEMENT.

      17.2. GENTA Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants. GENTA
hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees, except as set forth in detail
in Schedule 17.2 (which schedule shall clearly indicate the subsection of this
Section 17.2 to which an exception is being made), as follows:

      17.2.1. Exhibit 1.25 constitutes a correct and complete list of all of the
GENTA G3139 PATENT RIGHTS issued or pending in the TERRITORY as of the Effective
Date. As of the Effective Date, GENTA has no reason to believe that any of the
GENTA PATENT RIGHTS are likely to be held invalid. As of the Effective Date, to
the best of GENTA's knowledge, the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS are in full force and not
subject to any pending or threatened re-examination, opposition, interference or
litigation proceedings.

                                       49
<PAGE>

            17.2.2. To the best of GENTA's knowledge as of the Effective Date:
(i) the manufacture, use or sale of COMPOUND or PRODUCT as contemplated
hereunder will not infringe any valid and enforceable PATENT RIGHTS of any THIRD
PARTY, and (ii) the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS with respect to PRODUCT and COMPOUND are
not currently being infringed by any THIRD PARTY.

            17.2.3. GENTA agrees to comply with and observe in all material
respects its obligations under the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS, including,
without limitation, its obligation to pay any royalties, sublicensing fees and
other amounts due thereunder. GENTA agrees to promptly provide AVENTIS with
copies of all correspondence relating to the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS which
may impact AVENTIS' rights under this AGREEMENT. GENTA agrees not to terminate,
amend, or otherwise modify or waive any of the terms or conditions of the GENTA
THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS in any manner that would adversely affecting AVENTIS'
rights under this AGREEMENT without the prior written consent of AVENTIS.

            17.2.4. The GENTA PATENT RIGHTS that GENTA owns or purports to own
are owned, as of the Effective Date, free from any material liens or
restrictions, and GENTA will not suffer or permit any material liens or
restrictions to be imposed on such GENTA PATENT RIGHTS without the prior written
consent of AVENTIS, unless the lien holder agrees to take such GENTA PATENT
RIGHTS subject to AVENTIS' rights therein.

            17.2.5. GENTA has all rights necessary under the GENTA THIRD PARTY
AGREEMENTS to grant the rights and licenses granted to AVENTIS hereunder, and
GENTA has not previously granted to any THIRD PARTY any rights or licenses under
the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA TECHNOLOGY that are inconsistent with the
rights and licenses granted to AVENTIS under this AGREEMENT.

            17.2.6. As of the Effective Date, each GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENT
is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. As of the Effective
Date, GENTA is not in default or breach of any GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENT, nor
has it received any notice of any defaults, breaches or violation thereunder. To
the best of GENTA's knowledge as of the Effective Date, no other party to any
GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENT is in default or breach of such agreement. GENTA has
provided AVENTIS with copies of the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS, as amended (to
the extent that GENTA is a party to such amendment or its rights are affected
thereunder), that are true, correct and complete as of the Effective Date.

                                       50
<PAGE>

            17.2.7. To the best of GENTA's knowledge, there is no claim or
demand of any person or entity pertaining to, or any proceeding which is pending
or threatened, that challenges the rights of GENTA in respect of any GENTA
PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA TECHNOLOGY, that asserts the invalidity, misuse,
unregisterability or unenforceability of any of the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS or the
GENTA TECHNOLOGY, or that claims that any default exists under any license with
respect to the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA TECHNOLOGY to which GENTA is a
party.

            17.2.8. As of the Effective Date, to the best of GENTA's knowledge,
neither GENTA, nor any officer, employee or agent of GENTA, has made an untrue
statement of a material fact to any REGULATORY AUTHORITY with respect to
COMPOUND or PRODUCT (whether in any submission to such REGULATORY AUTHORITY or
otherwise), or knowingly failed to disclose a material fact required to be
disclosed to any REGULATORY AUTHORITY with respect to COMPOUND or PRODUCT.

            17.2.9. To the best of GENTA's knowledge, GENTA and its employees,
agents, clinical institutions and clinical investigators have complied with all
FDA statutory and regulatory requirements with respect to PRODUCT and COMPOUND.

            17.2.10. GENTA has disclosed to AVENTIS any facts known to GENTA as
of the Effective Date that GENTA reasonably believes in good faith to be
material regarding: (i) preclinical and clinical study results and protocols for
COMPOUND and/or PRODUCT; (ii) any communications to and from FDA with respect to
COMPOUND and/or PRODUCT, including, but not limited to, IND and NDA submissions,
FDA minutes of meetings and telephone conferences; (iii) FDA requests for data
and studies on COMPOUND and/or PRODUCT; and (iv) adverse drug experiences and
other IND safety reports with respect to COMPOUND and/or PRODUCT.

      17.3. Disclaimer of Additional Warranties. GENTA AND AVENTIS EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIM ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCT AND THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
EFFORTS RELATING THERETO), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

      17.4. Indemnification by AVENTIS. AVENTIS shall defend GENTA, its
AFFILIATES and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees,
successors and assigns (the "GENTA Indemnified Parties") from and against, and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the GENTA Indemnified Parties from and against
any and all LOSSES to the extent arising out of, any CLAIMS of THIRD PARTIES

                                       51
<PAGE>

alleging (i) AVENTIS' negligence or willful misconduct in exercising or
performing any of its rights or obligations under this AGREEMENT or the Global
Supply Agreement, (ii) a material breach by AVENTIS of any of its
representations, warranties or covenants under this AGREEMENT or the Global
Supply Agreement, and (iii) any activities (*).

      17.5. Indemnification by GENTA. GENTA shall defend AVENTIS, its AFFILIATES
and their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS, and their respective officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, successors and assigns (the "AVENTIS Indemnified
Parties") from and against, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the AVENTIS
Indemnified Parties from and against any and all LOSSES to the extent arising
out of, any CLAIMS of THIRD PARTIES alleging (i) GENTA's negligence or willful
misconduct in exercising or performing any of its rights or obligations under
this AGREEMENT or the Global Supply Agreement, (ii) a material breach by GENTA
of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under this AGREEMENT or
the Global Supply Agreement, (iii) the manufacture, use, marketing or sale of
COMPOUND or PRODUCT by GENTA following the term of this AGREEMENT, (iv) any
activities (*), (v) any breach by GENTA of its obligations (including, without
limitation, any payment obligations) under the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS.

      17.6. Procedure for Indemnification. The following provisions shall apply
to all CLAIMS of THIRD PARTIES covered by Section 17.4 or Section 17.5 above:

            17.6.1. Notice. Each Party will notify promptly the other Party if
it becomes aware of a CLAIM for which indemnification may be sought under
Section 17.4 or Section 17.5 above and will give such information with respect
thereto as the other Party shall reasonably request. If any proceeding
(including any governmental investigation) is instituted involving any Party
regarding which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 17.4 or Section 17.5
above, such Party (the "Indemnified Party") shall not make any admission
concerning such CLAIM, but shall promptly notify the other Party (the
"Indemnifying Party") in writing and the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified
Party shall meet to discuss how to respond to such CLAIM. The Indemnifying Party
shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any CLAIM to
the extent any admission made by the Indemnified Party or any failure by such
Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of such CLAIM materially prejudices the
defense of such CLAIM.

            17.6.2. Defense of Claims. If the Indemnifying Party elects to
defend a CLAIM pursuant to Section 17.6.1, it shall give notice to the
Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the notice from
the Indemnified Party of the potential indemnifiable CLAIM which involves (and
continues to involve) solely monetary damages; provided, that (a) the
Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in such notice that, as between the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be

                                       52
<PAGE>

solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the CLAIM, subject to the terms,
conditions and limitations of this AGREEMENT, and (b) the Indemnifying Party
makes reasonably adequate provisions to ensure the Indemnified Party of the
ability of the Indemnifying Party to satisfy the full amount of any adverse
monetary judgment that may result such conditions (the "Litigation Conditions").
Subject to compliance with the Litigation Conditions, the Indemnifying Party
shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to
represent the Indemnified Party and shall pay the fees and expenses of such
counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (a) the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the
retention of such counsel, or (b) the named parties to any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
All such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. If the
Litigation Conditions are not met within twenty (20) days after receipt of
notice of the CLAIM, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any reasonable
defense or settlement made by the Indemnified Party and shall reimburse the
Indemnified Party for any and all LOSSES of the Indemnified Party related to the
defense or settlement of the CLAIM. If the Litigation Conditions have been met,
then the Indemnified Party shall not settle any CLAIM for which it is seeking
indemnification without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party shall, if
requested by the Indemnifying Party, cooperate in all reasonable respects in the
defense of such CLAIM that is being managed and controlled by the Indemnifying
Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the
Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding
in respect of which the Indemnified Party is, or arising out of the same set of
facts could have been, a Party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of the Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject
matter of such proceeding.

            17.6.3. Right to Counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense
of any CLAIM with respect to the Indemnified Party, upon written notice to the
Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 17.6.3, in which case the
Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of liability under Section 17.4 or Section
17.5, as applicable, solely for such CLAIM.

      17.7. Product Liability Claims.

                                       53
<PAGE>

            17.7.1. Other than CLAIMS for which AVENTIS is obligated to
indemnify GENTA under Section 17.4 above, or for which GENTA is obligated to
indemnify AVENTIS under Section 17.5 above, the Parties shall share
responsibility for all LOSSES arising out of or resulting from any and all
CLAIMS of THIRD PARTIES concerning PRODUCT sold in the United States by AVENTIS
or its AFFILIATES or their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS during the term of this
AGREEMENT (and, if applicable, during any Trailing Period) that involve death or
bodily injury to any individual, including, without limitation, any product
liability actions (collectively, "U.S. Product Liability Claims") as set forth
in this Section 17.7.

            17.7.2. Each Party shall give the other prompt written notice of any
U.S. Product Liability Claim, but the omission of such notice shall not relieve
either Party from its obligations under this Section 17.7, except to the extent
the other Party can establish actual prejudice and direct damages as a result
thereof. With respect to each U.S. Product Liability Claim, the Parties shall
determine by mutual agreement, within twenty (20) days following their receipt
of notice of the commencement of or assertion of such U.S. Product Liability
Claim (or such lesser period of time as may be required to properly respond to
such claim) which Party shall assume the lead role in the defense thereof.
Should the Parties be unable to mutually agree on who shall assume the lead role
in the defense of any U.S. Product Liability Claim, AVENTIS shall be entitled to
assume such role, and if AVENTIS declines or fails to diligently assume such
role, GENTA shall be entitled to assume such role.

            17.7.3. The Party assuming the lead role in the defense of any U.S.
Product Liability Claim (the "Controlling Party") shall consult with the other
Party on all material aspects of the defense, including, without limitation,
settlement, of such claim, the other Party shall have a reasonable opportunity
to participate in decision-making with respect to the strategy of such defense,
and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with
the implementation thereof. The non-defending Party shall also have the right to
participate in the defense of any U.S. Product Liability Claim utilizing
attorneys of its choice, at its own expense. In furtherance of the Parties'
cooperation, the Controlling Party will consult with the other Party regarding
strategic decisions, including, without limitation, the retention of counsel for
defense of any U.S. Product Liability Claim. The Controlling Party will
otherwise keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status and progress of
the defense and any settlement discussions concerning each U.S. Product
Liability Claim, and the Parties shall provide each other with all reasonably
requested assistance and will reasonably cooperate with each other in connection
therewith. Any settlement of a U.S. Product Liability Claim shall require mutual
agreement of the Parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld.

            17.7.4. The Parties shall share equally in all LOSSES arising out of
or resulting from any U.S. Product Liability Claim. The Parties shall establish
such procedures as are reasonably necessary to permit them to reconcile their

actual payments for such LOSSES with their percentage share of responsibility
for such LOSSES on a quarterly basis, within sixty (60) days following the end
of each CALENDAR QUARTER.

            17.7.5. U.S. Product Liability Claims shall be governed exclusively
by this Section 17.7 and, except in accordance with this Section 17.7, neither
Party shall seek from the other Party any indemnity or other recovery on account
of any such claims; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 17.7 shall
limit either Party's liability to the other for damages on account of any breach
by such Party of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under
Section 17.1 or Section 17.2 above.

      17.8. Offset of Insurance Proceeds. Any indemnification hereunder shall be
made net of any insurance proceeds recovered by the indemnified person or
entity; provided, however, that if, following the payment to such person or
entity of any amount under this Section 17, such person or entity recovers any
insurance proceeds in respect of the claim for which such indemnification
payment was made, such person or entity shall promptly pay an amount equal to
the amount of such insurance proceeds (but not exceeding the amount of such
indemnification payment from the indemnifying Party) to the indemnifying Party.

      17.9. Insurance. Each Party shall maintain, during the term of this
AGREEMENT, Commercial General Liability Insurance, (including Products
Liability, Contractual Liability, Bodily Injury, Property Damage and Personal
Injury) to cover its indemnification obligations under this Section 17, with
minimum limits of $10 million. During the term of this AGREEMENT, each Party
shall not permit such insurance to be reduced, expired or canceled without
reasonable prior written notice to the other Party. Upon request each Party
shall provide Certificates of Insurance to the other Party evidencing the
coverage specified herein. Except as expressly stated in Section 17.8 above, a
Party's liability to the other is in no way limited to the extent of the Party's
insurance coverage. In the event of duplicate coverage, the insurance policy of
the Party whose fault causes the need for reimbursement under an insurance
policy shall be primary and the other Party's excess and non-contributing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, AVENTIS may satisfy its obligations under this
Section 17.9 through self-insurance to the same extent as required herein.

      17.10. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR ANY WILLFUL BREACH BY EITHER
PARTY OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS OR AGREEMENTS UNDER SECTION
17.1 OR SECTION 17.2 ABOVE, OR FOR DAMAGES ACTUALLY PAID BY A PARTY TO A THIRD
PARTY PURSUANT TO A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE
TO THE OTHER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL,
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,

                                       55
<PAGE>

LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS OR GOODWILL) SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SUCH OTHER PARTY OR
ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY FAILURE OF THE
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF A LIMITED OR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN.

      17.11. No Guaranty of Success. Subject to each Party's express
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, neither
Party makes any guarantees to the other concerning the success or potential
success of the activities contemplated under this AGREEMENT.

18. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

      18.1. Force Majeure. If the performance of any part of this AGREEMENT by
either Party is prevented, restricted, interfered with or delayed by reason of
any cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party, its AFFILIATES or their
respective suppliers or contractors that could not, with the exercise of
reasonable due diligence, have been avoided (a "Force Majeure"), the Party so
affected shall be excused from such performance to the extent of and for so long
as such Force Majeure continues, provided that the affected Party uses
COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS to avoid or remove the causes of such Force
Majeure with the utmost dispatch and to continue its performance under this
AGREEMENT whenever such causes are removed. When such circumstances arise, the
affected Party shall provide the other Party with prompt notice thereof and
shall regularly update the other Party as to its efforts to remove the causes of
such Force Majeure until full performance under this AGREEMENT has resumed.
Parties shall discuss what, if any, modification of the terms of this AGREEMENT
may be required in order to arrive at an equitable solution in light of any
Force Majeure, and, (*), the other Party's payment obligations hereunder shall
be suspended to the extent and for so long as the Force Majeure prevents such
other Party from substantially receiving the benefit of its bargain hereunder.

      18.2. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This AGREEMENT and any
disputes concerning its validity, construction, enforceability or performance
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to
conflict of law principles. In the event of any dispute under this AGREEMENT,
whether as to validity, construction, enforceability or performance of this
AGREEMENT or any of its provisions or otherwise, both Parties shall use
reasonable efforts to in good faith endeavor to settle such dispute amicably
between themselves. In the event that either Party determines in good faith that
the continuation of such efforts is not likely to lead to a resolution of any
such dispute (except for those matters referred for resolution to the "Expert

Panel" pursuant to Section 18.3), the Parties shall be free to pursue any rights
or remedies available to them at law, in equity or otherwise, subject to the
express provisions of this AGREEMENT.

      18.3. Expert Panel. In the event of a dispute by the Parties (*) that
cannot be resolved as set forth therein, either Party may by written notice to
the other Party require the specific issue in dispute to be submitted to a panel
of experts ("Expert Panel") in accordance with this Section 18.3. Such notice
shall contain a statement of the issue forming the basis of the dispute and the
position of the moving Party as to the proper resolution of that issue. Within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, the responding Party shall
submit to the moving Party a statement of its conception of the specific issue
in question and of its position as to the proper resolution of that issue.
Within twenty (20) days of the responding Party's response, each Party shall
appoint to the Expert Panel an individual who has expertise in the biotechnology
industry and the specific matters at issue and who is not affiliated with such
Party, and give the other Party written notice thereof. Thereafter, the two (2)
appointed experts shall select a third expert within fifteen (15) days after
receipt from the Parties of a list of proposed experts having expertise in the
biotechnology industry and the specific matters at issue. Each expert shall
agree prior to his or her appointment to hear the dispute promptly and render a
decision as soon as practicable thereafter. The Expert Panel shall convene in
English in New York. The experts shall not amend this AGREEMENT, but shall seek
to fashion a remedy consistent with the Parties' intentions set forth in this
Agreement. The agreement of two (2) of the three (3) experts shall be sufficient
to render a decision, and the Parties shall abide by such decision.

      18.4. Waiver of Breach. The failure of either Party at any time or times
to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect its
rights at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either Party of any
condition or term in any one or more instances shall be construed as a further
or continuing waiver of such condition or term or of another condition or term.

      18.5. Severability. In the event any portion of this AGREEMENT shall be
held illegal, void or ineffective, the remaining portions hereof shall remain in
full force and effect and the Parties will in good faith endeavor to renegotiate
the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT to resolve any inequities. If a Party
seeks to avoid a provision of this AGREEMENT by asserting that such provision is
invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the other Party shall have the
right to terminate this AGREEMENT for breach in accordance with the provisions
of Section 15.2 above.

      18.6. Entire Agreement. This AGREEMENT, together with the Exhibits and
attachments hereto and the other agreements between the Parties referred to
herein, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all previous writings and
understandings with respect to such subject matter. No terms or provisions of
this AGREEMENT shall be varied or modified by any prior or subsequent statement,
conduct or act of either of the Parties, except that the Parties may amend this
AGREEMENT by written instruments specifically referring to and executed in the
same manner as this AGREEMENT. The provisions of this AGREEMENT shall supersede
the provisions of the confidentiality/non-disclosure agreement previously
entered into by the Parties provided that information or materials deemed
"Confidential Information" under such agreement shall henceforth be treated as
"Confidential Information" under this AGREEMENT.

      18.7. Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this AGREEMENT shall
be sent by overnight delivery using a reputable overnight delivery service,
postage pre-paid, to the following addresses of the Parties, or to such other

reasons of any such provision make any CLAIM in respect of any debt, liability
or obligation (or otherwise) against either Party hereto.

      18.11. Non-Solicitation. During the term of this AGREEMENT and for two (2)
years thereafter, a Party may not actively solicit an employee of the other
Party to leave the employment of the other Party and accept employment with the
first Party. Active solicitation shall not be deemed to include general
advertisement not directed specifically to any employee or class of employees of
the other Party.

      18.12. Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees
that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the

otherwise are breached. Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, each of the Parties agree that the other Party shall be entitled to
injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this AGREEMENT,
and/or to enforce specifically this AGREEMENT and the terms and provisions
hereof, in any action instituted in any court or tribunal having jurisdiction
over the Parties and the matter, without posting any bond or other security, and
that such injunctive relief shall be in addition to any other remedies to which
such Party may be entitled, at law or in equity.

      18.13. Further Assurances. Each Party shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver such further instruments, and shall do all such other acts as may be
necessary or appropriate, in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this
AGREEMENT.

      18.14. Execution in Counterparts. This AGREEMENT may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

      THIS EX-U.S. COMMERCIALIZATION AGREEMENT (hereinafter, this "AGREEMENT"),
made as of the 26th day of April, 2002 (the "Effective Date"), between GENTA

made. The "Closing mid-point rates" found in the "Dollar spot forward against
the Dollar" table published by The Financial Times, or any other publication as
agreed to by the Parties, shall be used as the source of "spot rates" to
calculate the average as defined in the preceding sentence.

      9.3. Timing of Payments. Within five (5) business days following the date
on which the report under Section 7.1.3 above is due to GENTA for a given
CALENDAR QUARTER, AVENTIS shall pay to GENTA the amount due under Section 7.1
above for such CALENDAR QUARTER.

      9.4. Taxes. AVENTIS shall bear and pay, and shall indemnify GENTA against,
all applicable non-US taxes, value-added or sales tax, duties or levies and
assessments, howsoever designated or computed that are required to be paid or
withheld by AVENTIS on the payments due under this AGREEMENT. AVENTIS shall
properly furnish GENTA with copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of all
such taxes, levies and assessments. GENTA and AVENTIS shall cooperate with each
other in obtaining any exemption from or reduced rate of tax available under any
applicable law or tax treaty. Notwithstanding anything in this AGREEMENT to the
contrary, in the event that withholding taxes are paid on behalf of GENTA by
AVENTIS, if GENTA uses a foreign tax credit received as a result of the payment
of withholding taxes by AVENTIS and thereby reduces the amount of U.S. income
tax that GENTA otherwise would have paid, GENTA shall refund to AVENTIS the
amount of such reduction with respect to such foreign tax credit.

      9.5. Audit Rights. Each Party shall keep, and require its AFFILIATES and,
in the case of AVENTIS, their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS to keep, complete, true and
accurate books of accounts and records for the purpose of determining the
amounts payable or owed pursuant to this AGREEMENT (including without limitation
Section 7.1). Such books and records shall be kept at the principal place of
business of each Party, its AFFILIATES and such MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS for at
least five (5) years following the end of the calendar quarter to which they
pertain. Such records will be open for inspection during such five (5) year
period by an independent auditor chosen by the other Party and reasonably
acceptable to both Parties for the purpose of verifying the amounts payable
hereunder. Such inspections may be made no more than once each CALENDAR YEAR, at
reasonable times and on reasonable notice and once the records for a period are
audited they shall not be subject to re-audit. The independent auditor shall be
obligated to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to commencing
any such inspection. Inspections conducted under this Section 9.5 shall be at
the expense of the auditing Party, unless a variation or error producing an
underpayment in amounts payable exceeding five percent (5%) of the amount paid
for the entire period covered by the inspection is established in the course of
any such inspection, whereupon all reasonable out-of-pocket costs relating to
the inspection for such period (up to the amount of the underpayment) and any
unpaid amounts that are discovered shall be paid by the audited Party, together
with interest on such unpaid amounts at the rate set forth in Section 9.1 above.
The Parties will endeavor to minimize disruption of the audited Party's normal
business activities to the extent reasonably practicable.

10. CONFIDENTIALITY.

      10.1. Nondisclosure. "Confidential Information" means any information,
data, or know-how which the disclosing Party treats confidentially and
identifies as confidential or which the recipient knows or should have reason to
believe is so treated. Each Party shall not (and shall require that its
AFFILIATES and, in the case of AVENTIS, their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS do not) use
or reveal or disclose to THIRD PARTIES any Confidential Information received
from the other Party without first obtaining the written consent of the
disclosing Party, except as may be reasonably necessary in performing such
Party's obligations or exercising such Party's rights under this AGREEMENT. Each
Party may disclose any Confidential Information received from the other Party to
its AFFILIATES and, in the case of AVENTIS, their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS, on a
need-to-know basis only, and such Party shall be responsible for its AFFILIATES'
and, in the case of AVENTIS, their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS', compliance with the
provisions of this Section 10 with respect thereto. Each Party shall take (and
shall require its AFFILIATES and, in the case of AVENTIS, their MARKETING
DISTRIBUTORS to take) reasonable steps to prevent any unauthorized use or
disclosure of the other Party's Confidential Information to THIRD PARTIES. The
obligations of confidentiality under this Section shall remain in effect until
the later of five (5) years after any termination of the term of this AGREEMENT,
or fifteen (15) years following the Effective Date.

      10.2. Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations in this Section 10 shall
not apply to information which (a) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge
through no fault of the receiving Party or any person to whom the receiving
Party provided such information, or (b) is or was already in the possession of
the receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing Party, or (c) is
disclosed to the receiving Party by a THIRD PARTY having the right to do so, or
(d) is subsequently and independently developed by or on behalf of the receiving
Party or its AFFILIATES by persons having no access to the disclosing Party's
Confidential Information, (e) is reasonably required to be disclosed in
connection with obtaining or maintaining MAA APPROVALS for PRODUCT, or (f) is
required by law to be disclosed, provided that the receiving Party use
reasonable efforts to give the disclosing Party advance notice of such required
disclosure in sufficient time to enable the disclosing Party to seek
confidential treatment for such information, and provided further that the
receiving Party limits the disclosure to that information which is required to
be disclosed.

      10.3. Terms of Agreement. Except as set forth below, no announcement or
other disclosure, public or otherwise, concerning the financial or other terms
of this AGREEMENT shall be made, either directly or indirectly, by any Party to
this AGREEMENT, except as may be legally required, without first obtaining the
written approval of the other Party and agreement upon the nature and text of
such announcement or disclosure, such approval and agreement not to be
unreasonably withheld. The Party desiring to make any announcement or other
disclosure concerning the terms of this AGREEMENT shall provide the other Party
with a copy of the proposed announcement or disclosure for review and comment in
reasonably sufficient time prior to undertaking the announcement or disclosure.
Each Party agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate with the other with respect
to all disclosures regarding this AGREEMENT to the Securities Exchange
Commission and any other governmental or regulatory agencies. In addition, the
Parties will coordinate in advance with each other on the terms of this
AGREEMENT that the Parties shall seek to be redacted in any SEC filings, and
each Party shall use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for such
terms, provided that each Party shall ultimately retain control over what
information to disclose to the SEC or any other such agencies. The Parties will
mutually agree upon the contents of a joint press release (and accompanying Q&A)
which shall be issued simultaneously by both Parties upon the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding the above, the Parties shall be free to publicly disclose
information contained in such press release or Q&A, or in any other materials
that have been previously approved for disclosure by the other Party, without
further approvals from the other Party hereunder, to the extent there have been
no material additions or changes thereto.

      10.4. Publications and Public Presentations. Neither Party shall submit
for written or oral publication, or present at any public conference or meeting,
any manuscript, abstract, talk, handout or the like that includes DATA or other
information concerning the safety or efficacy of PRODUCT that is not publicly
known without first obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The contribution of each Party, if any,
shall be noted in all publications or presentations by acknowledgment or
co-authorship, whichever is appropriate.

11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

      11.1. Proprietary Rights, Inventions.

            11.1.1. As between the parties, GENTA shall retain sole ownership of
and exclusive title to the GENTA TECHNOLOGY and the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS. Any and
all inventions resulting from the activities conducted by either Party's
employees, agents or contractors under this AGREEMENT (each, an "Invention")

                                       15
<PAGE>

shall be promptly disclosed in writing to the other Party. Inventorship for
patentable Inventions conceived or reduced to practice during the course or as a
result of the performance of such activities shall be determined in accordance
with U.S. patent laws, and ownership of all Inventions shall be determined based
on inventorship. Inventions jointly invented by employees, agents or contractors
of both Parties ("Joint Inventions") shall be jointly owned by both Parties,
and, except as expressly set forth herein, neither Party shall have any
obligations of accounting to the other Party with respect thereto. The Parties
shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the filing, prosecution,
maintenance and enforcement of all patents and patent applications claiming any
Joint Inventions.

            11.1.2. Upon the termination of this AGREEMENT (but not its
expiration) for any reason other than a material breach by GENTA under Section
13.2, AVENTIS shall grant, and hereby grants, to GENTA a non-exclusive,
perpetual, irrevocable license to any of AVENTIS' Inventions reasonably
necessary for the manufacture, use, formulation or delivery of COMPOUND or
PRODUCT, solely for sale in the ROW, in such forms as COMPOUND and PRODUCT are
being developed or commercialized as of the date of such expiration or
termination. GENTA shall be permitted to sublicense such rights solely to a
marketing partner or distributor in connection with the promotion, marketing and
distribution of COMPOUND or PRODUCT. Such license rights to GENTA shall be
royalty free, except that GENTA shall be required to reimburse AVENTIS in full
for any royalties, licensing fees, sublicensing fees and other amounts owed by
AVENTIS to THIRD PARTIES on account of GENTA's or its marketing partners' or
distributors' use or other exploitation of such AVENTIS Inventions.

      11.2. Transfer of Technology. Upon AVENTIS' request, GENTA shall promptly
disclose to AVENTIS such of the GENTA TECHNOLOGY as AVENTIS determines is
reasonably necessary for AVENTIS to perform its obligations or exercise its
rights under this AGREEMENT. The manner of such disclosure shall be as mutually
determined by the Parties in good faith and shall be at no additional cost to
AVENTIS.

      11.3. Patent Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance.

            11.3.1. Performance by GENTA. GENTA shall file, prosecute and
maintain, or to require its licensors to file, prosecute and maintain, all
patent applications and patents included in the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS, and to
conduct any interferences, re-examinations, reissues and oppositions with
respect thereto, in the United States, Canada, all member countries of the
European Union, Japan and such other countries in the TERRITORY as either Party
shall reasonably request (collectively, the "GENTA Prosecution Activities"), at
GENTA's expense. In this regard, GENTA shall permit AVENTIS to review reasonably
in advance and to make recommendations concerning the GENTA Prosecution
Activities, including, without limitation, any filings and submissions to the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any foreign counterparts thereof , and GENTA
shall consider in good faith and, where appropriate, shall adopt all reasonable
recommendations of AVENTIS with respect thereto.

<PAGE>

            11.3.2. Performance by AVENTIS. Should GENTA be unable or unwilling
to perform any of the GENTA Prosecution Activities, GENTA shall provide AVENTIS
with at least sixty (60) days' prior notice (or, if 60 days' prior notice is not
reasonably possible, the longest lesser prior notice as is reasonably possible)
of GENTA's discontinuance thereof. In the event GENTA or its licensors fail to
perform, or it appears that GENTA or its licensors are reasonably likely to fail
to perform, any of the GENTA Prosecution Activities, then AVENTIS, to the extent
not prohibited under GENTA's agreements with its licensors, shall have the right
to perform such activities on GENTA's or its licensors' behalf. In such case,
GENTA shall promptly execute, or shall obtain from its licensors the prompt
execution of, all necessary documents that may be required in order to enable
AVENTIS to perform the GENTA Prosecution Activities on GENTA's or its licensors'
behalf. All costs incurred by AVENTIS in performing any of the GENTA Prosecution
Activities shall be deductible in full from any amounts due and owing by AVENTIS
to GENTA under this AGREEMENT.

            11.3.3. Cooperation. Each Party shall keep the other Party
reasonably informed as to the status of all GENTA Prosecution Activities being
conducted by such Party. Each Party shall each reasonably cooperate with and
assist the other Party in connection with such activities at such Party's own
expense and upon the other Party's request, including, without limitation, by
making scientists and scientific records reasonably available to the prosecuting
Party.

      11.4. ROW Patent Infringement Claims.

            11.4.1. Each Party shall give the other prompt written notice of any
suit or action by a THIRD PARTY against either Party for patent infringement
involving the manufacture, use, sale, distribution or marketing of COMPOUND or
PRODUCT in any country of the ROW, or to invalidate or assert non-infringement
of any of the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS under which PRODUCT is being manufactured,
sold, used, distributed or marketed in any country of the ROW, or upon the
filing of an abbreviated new drug application related to related to COMPOUND or
PRODUCT (each, a "ROW Patent Infringement Claim"). With respect to each ROW
Patent Infringement Claim, the Parties shall determine by mutual agreement,
within twenty (20) days following their receipt of notice of the commencement of
or assertion of such ROW Patent Infringement Claim (or such lesser period of
time as may be required to properly respond to such claim) which Party shall
assume the lead role in the defense thereof. Should the Parties be unable to
mutually agree on who shall assume the lead role in the defense of any ROW
Patent Infringement Claim, AVENTIS shall be entitled to assume such role, and if
AVENTIS declines or fails to diligently assume such role, GENTA shall be
entitled to assume such role.

                                       17
<PAGE>

            11.4.2. The Party assuming the lead role in the defense of any ROW
Patent Infringement Claim (the "Controlling Party") shall consult with the other
Party on all material aspects of the defense, including, without limitation,
settlement, of such claim, the other Party shall have a reasonable opportunity
to participate in decision-making with respect to the strategy of such defense,
and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with
the implementation thereof. The non-defending Party shall also have the right to
participate in the defense of any ROW Patent Infringement Claim utilizing
attorneys of its choice, at its own expense. In furtherance of the Parties'
cooperation, the Controlling Party will consult with the other Party regarding
strategic decisions, including, without limitation, the retention of counsel for
defense of any ROW Patent Infringement Claim. The Controlling Party will
otherwise keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status and progress of
the defense and any settlement discussions concerning each ROW Patent
Infringement Claim, and the Parties shall provide each other with all reasonably
requested assistance and will reasonably cooperate with each other in connection
therewith. (*).

            11.4.3. The Parties shall share equally in all LOSSES arising out of
or resulting from any ROW Patent Infringement Claim to the extent relating to
any COMPOUND or PRODUCT, as well as any and all royalties, licensing fees and
other amounts owed under any agreements respecting the settlement of such ROW
Patent Infringement Claim. The Parties shall establish such procedures as are
reasonably necessary to permit them to reconcile their actual payments for such
LOSSES with their percentage share of responsibility for such LOSSES on a
quarterly basis, within sixty (60) days following the end of each CALENDAR
QUARTER.

            11.4.4. ROW Patent Infringement Claims shall be governed exclusively
by this Section 11.4 and, except in accordance with this Section 11.4, neither
Party shall seek from the other Party any indemnity or other recovery on account
of any such claims; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.4 shall
limit either Party's liability to the other for damages on account of any breach
by such Party of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under
Section 15.1 or Section 15.2 below.

      11.5. License of Third Party Rights.

            11.5.1. Freedom to Operate License Rights. If GENTA or AVENTIS
reasonably determines that a license to any PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY of a
THIRD PARTY not already included in the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA
TECHNOLOGY is reasonably necessary for the Parties to make, have made, sell,
offer for sale, use or import COMPOUND or PRODUCT then being sold or developed
for sale in a country of the ROW, such Party shall provide the other Party with
written notice thereof. Upon the other Party's approval, not to be unreasonably
withheld (taking into account factors that include without limitation the
likelihood and presumption of validity of a THIRD PARTY'S PATENT RIGHTS from a
practical and legal standpoint in the relevant country, the cost of obtaining a
license, and the risks of not obtaining such license), the Parties shall enter
into good faith discussions with such THIRD PARTY in order to obtain a license
to such PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY in order to develop and sell such COMPOUND
or PRODUCT in such country on terms reasonably acceptable to both Parties, such
acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (*).

            11.5.2. Mutually Desired License Rights. If GENTA or AVENTIS
reasonably determines that it would be desirable to obtain license rights to any
PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY of a THIRD PARTY not already included in the GENTA
PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA TECHNOLOGY, other than under the circumstances
described in Section 11.5.1 above, for the Parties to make, have made, sell,
offer for sale, use or import COMPOUND or PRODUCT, or any OTHER COMPOUND or
OTHER PRODUCT, for sale or development for sale in a country of the ROW, such
Party shall provide the other Party with written notice thereof. Should the
Parties mutually agree that one or both of them should obtain a license to such
PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY for such purposes, they shall enter into good faith
discussions with such THIRD PARTY in order to obtain license rights thereto on
terms reasonably acceptable to both Parties. (*).

            11.5.3. Other License Rights. If GENTA and AVENTIS cannot mutually
agree on the terms under which one or both of them should obtain license rights
to any PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY of a THIRD PARTY that either Party desires to
obtain under Section 11.5.1 or 11.5.2 above, and if GENTA nonetheless enters
into an agreement to license any such PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY from such
THIRD PARTY, such PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNOLOGY shall be excluded from the
definitions of GENTA PATENT RIGHTS and GENTA TECHNOLOGY under this AGREEMENT
(*); and

            11.5.4. Nothing in this Section 11.5 shall limit either Party's
rights or remedies on account of any breach by the other Party of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under Section 15.1 or
Section 15.2 below.

      11.6. Enforcement Against Third Parties. If either Party reasonably
believes that a THIRD PARTY is manufacturing, selling or using COMPOUND or
PRODUCT, or any OTHER COMPOUND or OTHER PRODUCT, or is otherwise infringing
PATENT RIGHTS controlled by AVENTIS or GENTA that cover COMPOUND or PRODUCT, or
any OTHER COMPOUND or OTHER PRODUCT, such Party shall promptly notify the other
Party hereto. Promptly after such notice, the Parties shall meet to discuss the
course of action to be taken with respect thereto, including an enforcement
action relating to infringement of the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA
TECHNOLOGY, and, as appropriate, may enter into a joint litigation agreement
covering the control thereof and the Parties shall share equally in all costs
and recoveries. Neither Party shall initiate an infringement suit against such
THIRD PARTY with respect to said activities except as the Parties shall mutually
agree, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld. Moreover, any settlement
or other similar agreement under which such THIRD PARTY is granted rights under
the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA TECHNOLOGY shall not be inconsistent with
the rights granted to AVENTIS hereunder or under the U.S. Commercialization
Agreement or the Global Supply Agreement.

      11.7. Patent Marking. AVENTIS shall mark, and to require its AFFILIATES
and their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS to mark, all patented PRODUCT sold or
distributed pursuant to this AGREEMENT in accordance with the applicable patent
statutes or regulations in the country or countries of manufacture and/or sale
thereof. GENTA shall cooperate in providing all relevant patent and marketing
information for AVENTIS to do so.

      11.8. Patent Term Extensions. The Parties shall cooperate to file all
applications and take all actions reasonably necessary to obtain patent
extensions pursuant to 35 USC 156 (or like foreign statutes) for the GENTA
PATENT RIGHTS at GENTA's expense. Each Party shall sign such documents and take
such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party in
connection therewith.

      11.9. Conflict with Certain Existing Agreements. To the extent that GENTA
is not authorized under the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS to grant AVENTIS any of
the rights set forth in this Section 11 with respect to the filing, prosecution,
maintenance and/or enforcement of any of the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS, AVENTIS'
rights under this Section 11 shall be limited to those which are permitted under
the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS in a manner to effectuate, to the greatest
extent, the intent and purposes of this Section 11.

12. TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS.

      12.1. Display. All packaging materials, package inserts, labels and
marketing, sales, advertising and promotional materials relating to PRODUCT
distributed in the ROW shall display the PRODUCT TRADEMARK and the trade
name/mark and/or logo of AVENTIS, in a form and style and with a placement
determined solely by AVENTIS, and will include on its packaging a mutually
agreed-upon reference to the TECHNOLOGY and PATENT RIGHTS licensed by GENTA
hereunder. The appearance of the PRODUCT TRADEMARK and AVENTIS' trademarks,

Section 12.

      12.2. Ownership. GENTA acknowledges that AVENTIS owns all rights, title
and interests in and to the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the ROW and that nothing in
this AGREEMENT grants GENTA or any persons or entity any rights, title or
interest therein, except as set forth in Section 14.8. GENTA and its AFFILIATES
shall not use, attempt to register, or register, as a trade/service mark,
corporate name, trade name or domain name, the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the ROW or
any other trade names/marks and/or logos of AVENTIS, or assist any THIRD PARTY
in doing so, except as explicitly agreed to in writing by AVENTIS or in the U.S.
Commercialization Agreement. GENTA acknowledges that any use of the PRODUCT
TRADEMARK in the ROW, and any goodwill associated with such use, shall vest in
and inure to the benefit of AVENTIS.

      12.3. Registration. AVENTIS shall, in its discretion, file, register and
maintain appropriate registrations for the PRODUCT TRADEMARK for use on and in
connection with the marketing, sale, advertising and/or promotion of PRODUCT in
the ROW. GENTA shall not register or attempt to register the PRODUCT TRADEMARK
or any other trade names/marks and/or logos of AVENTIS, or any confusingly
similar variations thereof, in any country in the ROW. GENTA and its AFFILIATES
shall not to contest the validity of the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the ROW, or
AVENTIS' rights therein, directly or indirectly, or assist any THIRD PARTY in
doing so.

      12.4. Competing Marks. AVENTIS shall not market, promote, sell and/or
distribute in the ROW, or authorize or permit another to market, promote, sell
and/or distribute in the ROW, any product other than PRODUCT under PRODUCT
TRADEMARK or any confusingly similar trade names/marks and/or logos.

      12.5. Enforcement. AVENTIS reserves the right to determine, in its sole
discretion, whether to and to what extent to institute, prosecute or defend any
actions or proceedings involving or affecting any rights relating to the PRODUCT
TRADEMARK in the ROW. Upon AVENTIS' reasonable request, GENTA shall cooperate
with and assist AVENTIS in any of AVENTIS' enforcement efforts with respect to
the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the ROW. AVENTIS shall retain all money damages, if
any, recovered in connection with such action.

                                       21
<PAGE>

      12.6. Avoidance of Confusion. In the event that actual confusion should
arise, or either Party reasonably believes that a likelihood of confusion may
arise, in connection with AVENTIS' use of the PRODUCT TRADEMARK in the ROW, the
Parties will fully cooperate in an effort to eliminate such confusion and to
avoid the possibility of such a likelihood of confusion.

      12.7. Non-Assignment. During the term of this AGREEMENT and, if
applicable, any Trailing Period, AVENTIS agrees not to assign or transfer its
rights in and to the PRODUCT TRADEMARK, and/or any associated federal or state
trademark registrations or pending applications, or domain name registrations
incorporating the PRODUCT TRADEMARK string, to any THIRD PARTY, except in
connection with a permitted assignment of this AGREEMENT as a whole.

      12.8. Copyrights. AVENTIS shall solely own the copyrights in all
packaging, labels, marketing, sales, advertising or promotional materials
relating to the PRODUCT in the ROW ("ROW Copyrighted Works"). GENTA shall
cooperate with AVENTIS to enforce and defend, including but not limited to
registering with the applicable copyright offices in the ROW, AVENTIS' interest
in the ROW Copyrighted Works, and shall take no action to this end without the
consent of AVENTIS.

13. TERM AND TERMINATION.

      13.1. Expiration. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Section, this
AGREEMENT shall continue in full force and effect, on a country-by-country basis
throughout the ROW, until no further royalties are payable to GENTA hereunder on
account of NET SALES in such country.

      13.2. Termination For Breach. Either Party may terminate this AGREEMENT on
written notice to the other Party in the event the other Party shall have: (i)
materially breached any of its representations or warranties hereunder, under
the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement or under the Global Supply Agreement; or
(ii) materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its covenants
or agreements hereunder, under the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement or under
the Global Supply Agreement and such breach or default shall have continued for
ninety (90) days after written notice thereof was provided to the Party in
breach or default by the other Party; provided, however, that if such breach or

                                       22
<PAGE>

default is not reasonably capable of cure within ninety (90) days, then such
cure period shall be extended for so long as such Party diligently pursues cure
of such breach, but in no event for longer than an additional ninety (90) days.
Any termination shall become effective immediately or, if there is a cure
period, after the expiry of such cure period. In determining whether a
particular breach or default is "material", the breach or default shall be
viewed in relation to the entirety of this AGREEMENT, the U.S. Commercialization
Agreement and the Global Supply Agreement, and not in relation to only the
agreement under which such breach or default occurred. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.2 shall preclude AVENTIS from
terminating this AGREEMENT as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder.

      13.3. Termination by AVENTIS. Upon six (6) months prior written notice to
GENTA (the "Exit Notice Period"), AVENTIS may terminate this AGREEMENT in its
sole discretion, (*).

      13.4. Cross-Default and Termination. Any material breach or default
permitting a Party to terminate this AGREEMENT under Section 13.2 above shall
also constitute a breach or default permitting, but not requiring, such Party to
terminate the U.S. Commercialization Agreement for a material breach or default
under Section 15.2 thereof. A Party seeking to terminate the U.S.
Commercialization Agreement by reason of a material breach or default under this
AGREEMENT must do so within sixty (60) days after providing a termination notice
under Section 13.2 above, or such Party shall have waived its rights to
terminate the U.S. Commercialization Agreement for such breach or default,
provided that if the termination of this AGREEMENT does not take effect due to a
cure of such breach or default within the applicable cure period, the
termination of the U.S. Commercialization Agreement shall not be effective.
Termination of this AGREEMENT for any reason other than a material breach or
default as permitted under Section 13.2 above shall result in the automatic
termination of the U.S. Commercialization Agreement (although such termination
of the U.S. Commercialization Agreement shall not be deemed a termination for
material breach or default under Section 15.2 thereof). Moreover, termination of
both this AGREEMENT and the U.S. Commercialization Agreement shall result in the
automatic termination of the Global Supply Agreement.

14. RIGHTS AND DUTIES UPON TERMINATION.

      14.1. Outstanding Payment. Payments of amounts owing to either Party under
this AGREEMENT as of its expiration or termination shall be due and payable
within the later of (i) to the extent such amounts can be calculated and a fixed
sum determined at the time of expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT, sixty
(60) days after the date of such expiration or termination, or (ii) ten (10)
days after the date in which such amounts can be calculated and a fixed sum
determined.

      14.2. Sale of Remaining Inventory. Upon termination of this AGREEMENT (but
not its expiration), AVENTIS shall notify GENTA of the amount of PRODUCT
AVENTIS, its AFFILIATES and their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS then have on hand or
have committed to purchase or sell in the ROW. For a period ending upon the
earlier of: (i) AVENTIS, its AFFILIATES and their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS sale of
all PRODUCT in their possession on the date of termination of this AGREEMENT, or
(ii) within the twelve (12) month period following such termination (the
"Trailing Period"), AVENTIS, its AFFILIATES and their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS
shall be permitted to sell all such PRODUCT and GENTA hereby grants a
non-exclusive royalty-free license reasonably necessary to sell such PRODUCT;
provided, however, that GENTA shall have the right to purchase such PRODUCT from
AVENTIS at the actual cost AVENTIS paid for the manufacture and supply of such
PRODUCT. Any remaining quantities of PRODUCT not sold during the Trailing Period
shall be destroyed.

      14.3. Return of Materials. Within sixty (60) days following the Trailing
Period after any termination of this AGREEMENT (but not its expiration), each
Party shall destroy or return to the other Party all tangible items bearing,
containing, or contained in, any of the Confidential Information of the other
Party, and shall provide the other Party written certification of such
destruction or return.

      14.4. Cooperation and Transition. During the six (6) month period
following AVENTIS' written notice of termination under Section 13.3 above, or,
if this AGREEMENT is terminated for any other reason (but not upon any
expiration of this AGREEMENT), during the six (6) month period immediately
following such termination, AVENTIS shall use COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS to
cooperate with GENTA to provide for an orderly transition of the development and
regulatory activities being performed by AVENTIS hereunder with respect to
PRODUCT, and of the activities being performed by AVENTIS hereunder with respect
to commercialization of PRODUCT in the ROW, to GENTA or its designee(s).

      14.5. Survival. Upon the expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT, all
rights and obligations of the parties under this AGREEMENT shall terminate
except those described in the following Sections: 3.1 (with respect to PRODUCT
purchased and/or sold by AVENTIS during the term of this AGREEMENT or any
applicable Trailing Period), 9.4, 9.5, 10.1-10.4, 11.1.1, 11.1.2, 14.1-14.8,
15.3-15.8, 15.10, 16.2-16.6, and 16.8-16.13; and, in addition, to the extent
that any PRODUCT is sold during the Trailing Period defined in Section 14.2,
Sections 7.1-7.3, 9.1-9.5, and 12.1-12.8. Moreover, upon any expiration (but not
termination) of this AGREEMENT with respect to a particular country, AVENTIS'

                                       24
<PAGE>

license rights under Section 2 above with respect to such country shall become
fully paid-up, perpetual and irrevocable, to the extent permitted under any
applicable GENTA THIRD PARTY license agreements, and provided that AVENTIS shall
reimburse GENTA for the amount of royalties, licensing fees, sublicensing fees
and other amounts required to be paid by GENTA to THIRD PARITES (including
without limitation under the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS) on account of the
continued use, manufacture, sale or exploitation of PRODUCT or COMPOUND by
AVENTIS or its AFFILIATES or MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS, or the continued
manufacture or supply by GENTA or its AFFILIATES or subcontractors of PRODUCT or
COMPOUND for AVENTIS, its AFFILIATES or MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS, where
"continued" means after the date of such expiration.

      14.6. Other. It is understood that termination or expiration of this
AGREEMENT shall not relieve a Party from any liability which, at the time of
such termination or expiration, has already accrued to the other Party or which
is attributable to a period prior to such termination. Termination or expiration
of the AGREEMENT in accordance with the provisions hereof shall not limit
remedies which may be otherwise available in law or equity with respect to a
breach hereof that occurred prior to such termination.

      14.7. Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or
pursuant to this AGREEMENT by GENTA to AVENTIS are, and shall otherwise be
deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and
other similar foreign laws, licenses of rights to "intellectual property" as
defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or such foreign laws.
GENTA agrees that AVENTIS, as a licensee of such rights under this AGREEMENT,
shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code and other similar foreign laws. GENTA further agree that,
in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against GENTA
under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, AVENTIS shall be entitled to a complete
duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual
property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and same, if not
already in AVENTIS' possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (i) upon any
such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon its written request therefor,
unless GENTA elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this
AGREEMENT, or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, upon the rejection of this
AGREEMENT by or on behalf of GENTA upon written request therefor by AVENTIS.

      14.8. Rights on Early Termination. Upon the termination (but not the
expiration) of this AGREEMENT for any reason other than a material breach by
GENTA under Section 13.2, AVENTIS: (a) shall assign, and hereby assigns, to
GENTA all of its right, title and interest in and to (i) the PRODUCT TRADEMARK
in the ROW and any and all other PRODUCT-specific trademarks registered by

                                       25
<PAGE>

AVENTIS in the ROW; (ii) the ROW Copyrighted Works that are specific to PRODUCT;
(b) shall provide GENTA copies of all reasonably necessary DATA relating to
PRODUCT then being sold under this AGREEMENT; and (c) shall assign to GENTA or
its designee(s), and permit GENTA or its designee(s) to reference, such of
AVENTIS' filings, authorizations and the like that are necessary for GENTA or
its designee(s) to continue such sales activities.

15. WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.

      15.1. General Representations. Each Party hereby represents and warrants
to the other Party as follows:

            15.1.1. Duly Organized. Such Party is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its incorporation, is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or
the ownership of its properties requires such qualification and failure to have
such would prevent it from performing its obligations under this AGREEMENT.

            15.1.2. Due Execution. The execution, delivery and performance by
such Party of this AGREEMENT have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval of
its stockholders; (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation,
order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in
effect having applicability to it or any provision of its charter or bylaws; or
(iii) conflict with or constitute a default under any other agreement or
understanding to which such Party is a party.

            15.1.3. Binding Agreement. This AGREEMENT is a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against it in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof, and such Party is not under any obligation to any
person or entity, contractual or otherwise, that is in conflict with the terms
of this AGREEMENT, nor will such Party undertake any such obligation during the
term of this AGREEMENT.

            15.1.4. Authorizations. Such Party has obtained all authorizations,
consents and approvals, governmental or otherwise, necessary for such Party to
grant the rights and licenses granted by such Party under this AGREEMENT, and to
otherwise perform such Party's obligations under this AGREEMENT.

            15.1.5. Third-Party Claims. Except for the GENTA THIRD PARTY
AGREEMENTS, neither such Party, nor any of its AFFILIATES, are a party to, or
are otherwise bound by, any oral or written contract that will result in any
person or entity obtaining any interest in, or that would give to any THIRD
PARTY any right to assert any claim in or with respect to, any of such Party's
or the other Party's rights under this AGREEMENT.

                                       26

      15.2. GENTA Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants. GENTA
hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees, except as set forth in detail
in Schedule 15.2 (which schedule shall clearly indicate the subsection of this
Section 15.2 to which an exception is being made), as follows:

            15.2.1. Exhibit 1.20, constitutes a correct and complete list of all
of the GENTA G3139 PATENT RIGHTS issued or pending in the TERRITORY as of the
Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, GENTA has no reason to believe that
any of the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS are likely to be held invalid. As of the
Effective Date, to the best of GENTA's knowledge, the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS are in
full force and not subject to any pending or threatened re-examination,
opposition, interference or litigation proceedings.

            15.2.2. To the best of GENTA's knowledge as of the Effective Date:
(i) the manufacture, use or sale of COMPOUND or PRODUCT as contemplated
hereunder will not infringe any valid and enforceable PATENT RIGHTS of any THIRD
PARTY, and (ii) the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS with respect to PRODUCT and COMPOUND are
not currently being infringed by any THIRD PARTY.

            15.2.3. GENTA agrees to comply with and observe in all material
respects its obligations under the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS, including,
without limitation, its obligation to pay any royalties, sublicensing fees and
other amounts due thereunder. GENTA agrees to promptly provide AVENTIS with
copies of all correspondence relating to the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS which
may impact AVENTIS' rights under this AGREEMENT. GENTA agrees not to terminate,
amend, or otherwise modify or waive any of the terms or conditions of the GENTA
THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS in any manner that would adversely affecting AVENTIS'
rights under this AGREEMENT without the prior written consent of AVENTIS.

            15.2.4. The GENTA PATENT RIGHTS that GENTA owns or purports to own
are owned, as of the Effective Date, free from any material liens or
restrictions, and GENTA will not suffer or permit any material liens or
restrictions to be imposed on such GENTA PATENT RIGHTS without the prior written
consent of AVENTIS, unless the lien holder agrees to take such GENTA PATENT
RIGHTS subject to AVENTIS' rights therein.

            15.2.5. GENTA has all rights necessary under the GENTA THIRD PARTY
AGREEMENTS to grant the rights and licenses granted to AVENTIS hereunder, and
GENTA has not previously granted to any THIRD PARTY any rights or licenses under
the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA TECHNOLOGY that are inconsistent with the
rights and licenses granted to AVENTIS under this AGREEMENT.

                                       27
<PAGE>

            15.2.6. As of the Effective Date, each GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENT
is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. As of the Effective
Date, GENTA is not in default or breach of any GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENT, nor
has it received any notice of any defaults, breaches or violation thereunder. To
the best of GENTA's knowledge as of the Effective Date, no other party to any
GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENT is in default or breach of such agreement. GENTA has
provided AVENTIS with copies of the GENTA THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS, as amended (to
the extent that GENTA is a party to such amendment or its rights are affected
thereunder), that are true, correct and complete as of the Effective Date.

            15.2.7. To the best of GENTA's knowledge, there is no claim or
demand of any person or entity pertaining to, or any proceeding which is pending
or threatened, that challenges the rights of GENTA in respect of any GENTA
PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA TECHNOLOGY, that asserts the invalidity, misuse,
unregisterability or unenforceability of any of the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS or the
GENTA TECHNOLOGY, or that claims that any default exists under any license with
respect to the GENTA PATENT RIGHTS or the GENTA TECHNOLOGY to which GENTA is a
party.

            15.2.8. As of the Effective Date, to the best of GENTA's knowledge,
neither GENTA, nor any officer, employee or agent of GENTA, has made an untrue
statement of a material fact to any REGULATORY AUTHORITY with respect to
COMPOUND or PRODUCT (whether in any submission to such REGULATORY AUTHORITY or
otherwise), or knowingly failed to disclose a material fact required to be
disclosed to any REGULATORY AUTHORITY with respect to COMPOUND or PRODUCT.

            15.2.9. To the best of GENTA's knowledge, GENTA and its employees,
agents, clinical institutions and clinical investigators have complied with all
FDA statutory and regulatory requirements with respect to PRODUCT and COMPOUND.

            15.2.10. GENTA has disclosed to AVENTIS any facts known to GENTA as
of the Effective Date that GENTA reasonably believes in good faith to be
material regarding: (i) preclinical and clinical study results and protocols for
COMPOUND and/or PRODUCT; (ii) any communications to and from FDA with respect to
COMPOUND and/or PRODUCT, including, but not limited to, IND and NDA submissions,
FDA minutes of meetings and telephone conferences; (iii) FDA requests for data
and studies on COMPOUND and/or PRODUCT; and (iv) adverse drug experiences and
other IND safety reports with respect to COMPOUND and/or PRODUCT.

                                       28

      15.3. Disclaimer of Additional Warranties. GENTA AND AVENTIS EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIM ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCT AND THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
EFFORTS RELATING THERETO), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

      15.4. Indemnification by AVENTIS. AVENTIS shall defend GENTA, its
AFFILIATES and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees,
successors and assigns (the "GENTA Indemnified Parties") from and against, and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the GENTA Indemnified Parties from and against
any and all LOSSES to the extent arising out of, any CLAIMS of THIRD PARTIES
alleging (i) AVENTIS' negligence or willful misconduct in exercising or
performing any of its rights or obligations under this AGREEMENT or the Global
Supply Agreement, or (ii) a material breach by AVENTIS of any of its
representations, warranties or covenants under this AGREEMENT or the Global
Supply Agreement.

      15.5. Indemnification by GENTA. GENTA shall defend AVENTIS, its AFFILIATES
and their MARKETING DISTRIBUTORS, and their respective officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, successors and assigns (the "AVENTIS Indemnified
Parties") from and against, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the AVENTIS
Indemnified Parties from and against any and all LOSSES to the extent arising
out of, any CLAIMS of THIRD PARTIES alleging (i) GENTA's negligence or willful
misconduct in exercising or performing any of its rights or obligations under
this AGREEMENT or the Global Supply Agreement, (ii) a material breach by GENTA
of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under this AGREEMENT or
the Global Supply Agreement, or (iii) any breach by GENTA of its obligations
(including, without limitation, any payment obligations) under the GENTA THIRD
PARTY AGREEMENTS.

      15.6. Procedure for Indemnification. The following provisions shall apply
to all CLAIMS of THIRD PARTIES covered by Section 15.4 or Section 15.5 above:

            15.6.1. Notice. Each Party will notify promptly the other Party if
it becomes aware of a CLAIM for which indemnification may be sought under
Section 15.4 or Section 15.5 above and will give such information with respect
thereto as the other Party shall reasonably request. If any proceeding
(including any governmental investigation) is instituted involving any Party
regarding which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 15.4 or Section 15.5
above, such Party (the "Indemnified Party") shall not make any admission

                                       29
<PAGE>

concerning such CLAIM, but shall promptly notify the other Party (the
"Indemnifying Party") in writing and the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified
Party shall meet to discuss how to respond to such CLAIM. The Indemnifying Party
shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any CLAIM to
the extent any admission made by the Indemnified Party or any failure by such
Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of such CLAIM materially prejudices the
defense of such CLAIM.

            15.6.2. Defense of Claims. If the Indemnifying Party elects to
defend a CLAIM pursuant to Section 15.6.1, it shall give notice to the
Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the notice from
the Indemnified Party of the potential indemnifiable CLAIM which involves (and
continues to involve) solely monetary damages; provided, that (a) the
Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in such notice that, as between the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be
solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the CLAIM, subject to the terms,
conditions and limitations of this AGREEMENT, and (b) the Indemnifying Party
makes reasonably adequate provisions to ensure the Indemnified Party of the
ability of the Indemnifying Party to satisfy the full amount of any adverse
monetary judgment that may result such conditions (the "Litigation Conditions").
Subject to compliance with the Litigation Conditions, the Indemnifying Party
shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to
represent the Indemnified Party and shall pay the fees and expenses of such
counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (a) the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the
retention of such counsel, or (b) the named parties to any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
All such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. If the
Litigation Conditions are not met within twenty (20) days after receipt of
notice of the CLAIM, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any reasonable
defense or settlement made by the Indemnified Party and shall reimburse the
Indemnified Party for any and all damages, fines, fees, penalties, judgments,
deficiencies, losses and expenses (including without limitation interest, court
costs, reasonable fees of attorneys, accountants and other experts or other
expenses of litigation or other proceedings or of any claim, default or
assessment) of the Indemnified Party related to the defense or settlement of the
CLAIM. If the Litigation Conditions have been met, then the Indemnified Party
shall not settle any CLAIM for which it is seeking indemnification without the
prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Indemnified Party shall, if requested by the Indemnifying Party,
cooperate in all reasonable respects in the defense of such CLAIM that is being
managed and controlled by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall
not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement
of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified
Party is, or arising out of the same set of facts could have been, a Party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the Indemnified Party, unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

                                       30
<PAGE>

            15.6.3. Right to Counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense
of CLAIM with respect to the Indemnified Party, upon written notice to the
Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 15.6.3, in which case the
Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of liability under Section 15.4 or Section
15.5, as applicable, solely for such CLAIM.

      15.7. Product Liability Claims.

            15.7.1. Other than CLAIMS for which AVENTIS is obligated to
indemnify GENTA under Section 15.4 above, or for which GENTA is obligated to
indemnify AVENTIS under Section 15.5 above, AVENTIS shall be responsible for all
LOSSES arising out of or resulting from any and all CLAIMS of THIRD PARTIES
concerning PRODUCT sold in the ROW by AVENTIS, its AFFILIATES or their MARKETING
DISTRIBUTORS that involve death or bodily injury to any individual, including,
without limitation, any product liability actions (collectively, "ROW Product
Liability Claims") as set forth in this Section 15.7.

            15.7.2. Each Party shall give the other prompt written notice of any
ROW Product Liability Claim, but the omission of such notice shall not relieve
either Party from its obligations under this Section 15.7, except to the extent
the other Party can establish actual prejudice and direct damages as a result
thereof. With respect to each ROW Product Liability Claim, AVENTIS shall be
solely responsible for the defense thereof.

            15.7.3. AVENTIS shall consult with GENTA on all material aspects of
the defense, including, without limitation, settlement, of such claim, and GENTA
shall reasonably cooperate with AVENTIS in connection with the implementation
thereof. GENTA shall have the right to participate in the defense of any ROW
Product Liability Claim utilizing attorneys of its choice, at its own expense.
AVENTIS will otherwise keep GENTA reasonably informed of the status and progress
of the defense and any settlement discussions concerning each ROW Product
Liability Claim and GENTA shall provide AVENTIS with all reasonably requested
assistance and will reasonably cooperate with AVENTIS in connection therewith.
Any settlement of a ROW Product Liability Claim shall require AVENTIS' written
consent.

                                       31
<PAGE>

            15.7.4. The Parties shall establish such procedures as are
reasonably necessary to permit AVENTIS to reconcile its payment to GENTA for
GENTA's actual payments for such LOSSES, if any, within sixty (60) days
following the end of each CALENDAR QUARTER.

            15.7.5. ROW Product Liability Claims shall be governed exclusively
by this Section 15.7 and, except in accordance with this Section 15.7, neither
Party shall seek from the other Party any indemnity or other recovery on account
of any such claims; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 15.7 shall
limit either Party's liability to the other for damages on account of any breach
by such Party of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under
Section 15.1 or Section 15.2 above.

      15.8. Offset of Insurance Proceeds. Any indemnification hereunder shall be
made net of any insurance proceeds recovered by the indemnified person or
entity; provided, however, that if, following the payment to such person or
entity of any amount under this Section 15, such person or entity recovers any
insurance proceeds in respect of the claim for which such indemnification
payment was made, such person or entity shall promptly pay an amount equal to
the amount of such insurance proceeds (but not exceeding the amount of such
indemnification payment from the Indemnifying Party) to the indemnifying Party.

      15.9. Insurance. Each party shall maintain, during the term of this
AGREEMENT, Commercial General Liability Insurance, (including Products
Liability, Contractual Liability, Bodily Injury, Property Damage and Personal
Injury) to cover its indemnification obligations under this Section 15, with
minimum limits of $10 million. During the term of this AGREEMENT, each party
shall not permit such insurance to be reduced, expired or canceled without
reasonable prior written notice. Upon request each party shall provide
Certificates of Insurance to the other party evidencing the coverage specified
herein. Except as expressly stated in Section 15.8 above, Party's liability to
the other is in no way limited to the extent of the Party's insurance coverage.
In the event of duplicate coverage, the insurance policy of the Party whose
fault causes the need for reimbursement under an insurance policy shall be
primary and the other Party's excess and non-contributing. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, AVENTIS may satisfy its obligations under this Section 15.9 through
self-insurance to the same extent as required herein.

      15.10. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR ANY WILLFUL BREACH BY EITHER
PARTY OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS OR AGREEMENTS UNDER SECTION
15.1 OR SECTION 15.2 ABOVE, OR FOR DAMAGES ACTUALLY PAID BY A PARTY TO A THIRD
PARTY PURSUANT TO A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE
TO THE OTHER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL,

                                       32
<PAGE>

INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS OR GOODWILL) SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SUCH OTHER PARTY OR
ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY FAILURE OF THE
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF A LIMITED OR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN.

      15.11. No Guaranty of Success. Subject to each Party's express
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, neither
Party makes any guarantees to the other concerning the success or potential
success of the activities contemplated under this AGREEMENT.

16. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

      16.1. Force Majeure. If the performance of any part of this AGREEMENT by
either Party is prevented, restricted, interfered with or delayed by reason of
any cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party, its AFFILIATES or their
respective suppliers or contractors that could not, with the exercise of
reasonable due diligence, have been avoided (a "Force Majeure"), the Party so
affected shall be excused from such performance to the extent of and for so long
as such Force Majeure continues, provided that the affected Party uses
COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS to avoid or remove the causes of such Force
Majeure with the utmost dispatch and to continue its performance under this
AGREEMENT whenever such causes are removed. When such circumstances arise, the
affected Party shall provide the other Party with prompt notice thereof and
shall regularly update the other Party as to its efforts to remove the causes of
such Force Majeure until full performance under this AGREEMENT has resumed.
Parties shall discuss what, if any, modification of the terms of this AGREEMENT
may be required in order to arrive at an equitable solution in light of any
Force Majeure, and the other Party's payment obligations hereunder shall be
suspended to the extent and for so long as the Force Majeure prevents such other
Party from substantially receiving the benefit of its bargain hereunder.

      16.2. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This AGREEMENT and any
disputes concerning its validity, construction, enforceability or performance
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to
conflict of law principles. In the event of any dispute under this AGREEMENT,
whether as to validity, construction, enforceability or performance of this
AGREEMENT or any of its provisions or otherwise, both Parties shall use
reasonable efforts to in good faith endeavor to settle such dispute amicably
between themselves. In the event that either Party determines in good faith that
the continuation of such efforts is not likely to lead to a resolution of any
such dispute, the Parties shall be free to pursue any rights or remedies
available to them at law, in equity or otherwise, subject to the express
provisions of this AGREEMENT.

                                       33
<PAGE>

      16.3. Waiver of Breach. The failure of either Party at any time or times
to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect its
rights at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either Party of any
condition or term in any one or more instances shall be construed as a further
or continuing waiver of such condition or term or of another condition or term.

      16.4. Severability. In the event any portion of this AGREEMENT shall be
held illegal, void or ineffective, the remaining portions hereof shall remain in
full force and effect and the Parties will in good faith endeavor to renegotiate
the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT to resolve any inequities. If a Party
seeks to avoid a provision of this AGREEMENT by asserting that such provision is
invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the other Party shall have the
right to terminate this AGREEMENT for breach in accordance with the provisions
of Section 13.2 above.

      16.5. Entire Agreement. This AGREEMENT, together with the Exhibits and
attachments hereto and the other agreements between the Parties referred to
herein, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all previous writings and
understandings with respect to such subject matter. No terms or provisions of
this AGREEMENT shall be varied or modified by any prior or subsequent statement,
conduct or act of either of the Parties, except that the Parties may amend this
AGREEMENT by written instruments specifically referring to and executed in the
same manner as this AGREEMENT. The provisions of this AGREEMENT shall supersede
the provisions of the confidentiality/non-disclosure agreement previously
entered into by the Parties, provided that information or materials deemed
