3.4. Minimum Royalties. In the event that, following the first Sale of a Licensed Product
(“First Sale”), the aggregate royalties paid to EMORY during any calendar year pursuant to Section 3.3

net income of EMORY), all such non-excluded amounts being “Taxes.” Should the COMPANY be
obligated by law to withhold any Taxes on such payments, the payment due hereunder shall be increased
such that after the withholding of the appropriate amount EMORY receives the amount that would have
been paid but for the Taxes withheld. Should EMORY be obligated to pay such Taxes, and such Taxes
were not satisfied by way of withholding, COMPANY shall promptly reimburse EMORY for such
payment, in an amount such that after the payment of the Taxes, EMORY has received the same amount
that it would have received had such Taxes not been payable.

COMPANY shall keep at its principal place of business true and accurate records of all Sales in

service in addition to any overdue delinquency.

11
ARTICLE 6. DILIGENCE AND COMMERCIALIZATION

will, as appropriate, acquire the necessary resources to fully develop and commercialize Licensed
Products. COMPANY shall use its best efforts, either directly or through Affiliates or Sublicensees,
throughout the term of this Agreement to comply with COMPANY's Development Plan and to bring
Licensed Products to market through a thorough, vigorous, and diligent program for exploitation of the
right and license granted in this Agreement and to create, supply, and service in the Licensed Territory as
extensive a market as reasonably possible, and shall include substantially similar diligence and
commercialization terms in any sublicense agreement. In no instance shall COMPANY's best efforts be
less than efforts customary in COMPANY's industry. If EMORY determines that COMPANY is failing

Licensed Technology, unless within such period COMPANY can provide proof of diligence.
6.2. Development Milestones. COMPANY shall adhere to the schedule of development
milestones and dates set forth in APPENDIX H. If COMPANY fails to meet any deadline set forth in
APPENDIX H, EMORY may, upon thirty (30) days' written notice, terminate or partially terminate this
Agreement and grant third parties rights in the Licensed Technology unless COMPANY cures its failure
within such period.

ARTICLE 7. PATENT PROSECUTION

7.1. Licensed Patents. The Prosecution and Maintenance of the Licensed Patents shall be the
primary responsibility of EMORY. EMORY shall reasonably Prosecute and Maintain Licensed Patents,
except to the extent that EMORY has obtained written confirmation from COMPANY that a patent or
patent application within the Licensed Patents shall be allowed to lapse, or to the extent that COMPANY
is delinquent in its reimbursement under this Agreement.
(i) Comment. EMORY shall provide COMPANY with copies of all filings and official
correspondence pertaining to such Prosecution and Maintenance of the Licensed Patents so as to
give COMPANY an opportunity to advise and cooperate with EMORY in such Prosecution and
Maintenance. In the event EMORY desires to transfer the prosecution of any of the Licensed
Patents to new patent counsel, COMPANY’s written consent shall be obtained, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(ii) New Applications. COMPANY shall notify EMORY in writing of the countries in
which COMPANY wishes additional patent applications to be filed, including but not limited to
national phase filings and regional registrations. EMORY shall, at COMPANY’s expense, file

12
such additional patent applications. EMORY may, at its own expense, file patent applications in
any country in which COMPANY elects not to file and such applications shall not be subject to
any license granted to COMPANY hereunder.
(iii) Reimbursement. If COMPANY should fail to timely make reimbursement for patent
expenses for any Licensed Patent, EMORY, in addition to any other remedies under the
Agreement, shall have no further obligation to Prosecute or Maintain such Licensed Patent(s).
COMPANY, upon ninety (90) days written notice, may advise EMORY that it no longer wishes
to pay expenses for one or more Licensed Patents. EMORY may, at its sole option, elect to pay
such expenses and, if so, such patents or patent applications shall cease to be subject to any
license granted to COMPANY hereunder.
7.2 Extension of Licensed Patents. COMPANY, at its expense, may request that EMORY
have the normal term of any Licensed Patents extended or restored under any country's procedure for
extending patent term. Royalties shall be payable until the end of the extended term of the patent. In the
event that COMPANY does not elect to extend a Licensed Patent, EMORY may, at its own expense,
effect such extension and, if EMORY elects to pay such expenses, such extended Licensed Patents shall
not be subject to any license granted hereunder subsequent to its non-extended expiration date.

13
ARTICLE 8. INFRINGEMENT

8.1 The Parties shall promptly notify each other of any suspected infringement of any
Licensed Patents.
i. During the Term, COMPANY shall, at its expense, have the right to enforce any Licensed
Patents against such infringer and may defend any declaratory judgment action brought against it
alleging the invalidity of a Licensed Patent. COMPANY agrees to defend EMORY against any
counterclaim brought against it in such action. EMORY shall cooperate with COMPANY in
such effort, at COMPANY'S expense, including being joined as a party to such action, if
necessary. COMPANY shall reimburse EMORY for any costs incurred, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, as part of any action brought by COMPANY.
ii. COMPANY shall not enter into any settlement agreement or other voluntary final
disposition in any action regarding the Licensed Patents, including without the express written
consent of EMORY. Any amounts received for punitive or exemplary damages shall be shared
equally between EMORY and COMPANY and any other amounts received, including
compensatory damages or damages based on a loss of revenues which exceed the out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by COMPANY, shall be deemed to be the proceeds of Sales of
Licensed Products in the fiscal quarter received.
8.2 If COMPANY fails, within one hundred twenty (120) days after receiving notice of a
potential infringement, to institute an action against such infringer or notifies EMORY that it does not
plan to institute such action, then EMORY shall have the right to do so at its own expense. COMPANY
shall cooperate with EMORY in such effort including being joined as a party to such action if necessary.
EMORY shall be entitled to retain all damages or costs awarded in such action. Should either EMORY
or COMPANY be a party to a suit under the provisions of this Article and thereafter elect to abandon
such suit, the abandoning party shall give timely notice to the other party who may, at its discretion,
continue prosecution of such suit.

ARTICLE 9. LIMITED REPRESENTATION AND EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES

9.1 Representation by Emory. EMORY represents that it has the right and authority to enter
into this Agreement and that, to the best of its knowledge, neither the execution of this Agreement nor the
performance of its obligations hereunder will constitute a breach of the terms and provisions of any other
agreement to which EMORY is a party. EMORY represents that, to the best of its knowledge, it is an
owner of the Licensed Technology and has the right to issue licenses to the same. EMORY does not
warrant the validity of the Licensed Patents licensed hereunder and makes no representation whatsoever

14
with regard to the scope of the Licensed Patents or that such Licensed Patents or Licensed Technology
may be exploited by COMPANY or its Affiliates or Sublicensees without infringing other patents.
9.2 Merchantability and Exclusion of Warranties. COMPANY possesses the necessary
expertise and skill in the technical areas pertaining to the Licensed Products and Licensed Technology to

the Licensed Products and Licensed Technology. ACCORDINGLY, EMORY DOES NOT MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED
TECHNOLOGY OR LICENSED PRODUCTS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY OTHER
IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE CAPABILITIES, SAFETY, UTILITY, OR
COMMERCIAL APPLICATION OF THE LICENSED TECHNOLOGY OR LICENSED PRODUCTS.

and to the same extent as each party is required to keep it confidential;
(ii) to use the Confidential Information only for such purposes as such parties are
authorized to use it.

in such activities under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 12. TERM AND TERMINATION

12.1 Term. Unless sooner terminated as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the term of
this Agreement shall commence on the effective date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect
until the expiration of the last to expire of the Licensed Patents.
12.2 Termination. EMORY shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon the
occurrence of a material breach. Without limitation, any one or more of the following shall each be
deemed a material breach of this Agreement by COMPANY:
i. failure of COMPANY to make any payment required under this Agreement when due; or
ii. failure of COMPANY to provide Progress Reports or Royalty Reports; or
iii. lack of Diligence as set forth in Article 6; or
iv. the insolvency or dissolution of, or institution of any proceeding under any bankruptcy,
insolvency, or moratorium law, by or on behalf of COMPANY or its creditors; or
v. assignment by COMPANY of substantially all of its assets for the benefit of creditors or
placement in the hands of a trustee or a receiver; or
vi. any COMPANY decision to cease developing or quit the business of selling Licensed
Products; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the COMPANY challenges the validity or enforceability of any
Licensed Patent in a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall
terminate immediately.
EMORY shall provide COMPANY written notice describing the breach, which notice shall
include EMORY’s intention to terminate the Agreement. If COMPANY does not cure the breach within
thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Agreement will terminate immediately. If COMPANY
disputes such breach in good faith by written notice to EMORY within the thirty (30) day period, the
matter will be submitted to dispute resolution as described under Article 14. EMORY’s right to terminate
shall be suspended until resolution of the dispute. The procedures set forth in this Section 12.2 shall not
prejudice EMORY’s right to receive royalties or other sums due hereunder and shall not prejudice any
cause of action or claim due to any breach or default by the COMPANY.
12.4 Notice of Bankruptcy. COMPANY must inform EMORY of its intention to file a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy or of another's intention to file an involuntary petition in bankruptcy to
be received at least forty five (45) days prior to filing such a petition. If COMPANY files a petition of
bankruptcy without conforming to this requirement, this shall be deemed a material, pre-petition,
incurable breach.

18
12.5 Failure to Enforce. The failure of EMORY, at any time, or for any period of time, to
enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver of such provisions or
as a waiver of the right of EMORY thereafter to enforce each and every such provision of this
Agreement.
12.6 Termination by COMPANY. COMPANY shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement at its sole discretion upon ninety (90) days written notice to EMORY.
12.7 Effect. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, COMPANY shall
return, or at EMORY's direction, destroy, all tangible materials (including plans, documents, samples,
biological materials, models and the like) pertaining to the License Patents or Licensed Technology
supplied to COMPANY by EMORY, retaining one archival paper copy in its corporate legal department
as required so that compliance with any continuing obligations may be determined. Upon termination of
this Agreement for any reason, in the event EMORY provides notice to COMPANY, COMPANY shall
provide EMORY full and complete copies of development information, including in vitro studies,
toxicology, pharmacokinetic, efficacy, clinical and other technical data and all correspondence to and
from regulatory agencies relating to approval of Licensed Products generated by COMPANY and/or its
Affiliates, contractors and agents (hereinafter “Development Information”). Upon termination of this
Agreement, COMPANY shall cease manufacturing, processing, producing, using, importing or Selling
Licensed Products; provided, however, that COMPANY may continue to Sell in the ordinary course of
business for a period of three (3) months reasonable quantities of Licensed Products which are fully
manufactured and in COMPANY’s normal inventory at the date of termination if (a) all monetary
obligations of COMPANY to EMORY have been satisfied and (b) royalties on such sales are paid to
EMORY in the amounts and in the manner provided in this Agreement. However, nothing herein shall be
construed to release either party of any obligation which matured prior to the effective date of such
termination.
12.8 Regulatory data. Upon termination of this agreement for any reason, in the event
EMORY provides notice to COMPANY, COMPANY shall provide EMORY, at its request, full and
complete copies of all development information, including toxicology, pharmacokinetic, efficacy, clinical
and other technical data and all correspondence to and from regulatory agencies relating to approval of
licensed products (hereinafter “development information”). In the event EMORY enters into a license for
such licensed products with a third party, COMPANY shall grant such third party the right to make
unlimited use of development information. Should COMPANY have developed any know-how or other
intellectual property covering any licensed product during the term of this agreement, COMPANY shall
grant such third party a license to practice under the same for development, use or sale of licensed
product(s).

19

obligations under this Agreement in conjunction with the transfer of all, or substantially all, of the
business interests of COMPANY. EMORY's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
shall be required prior to any other assignment of COMPANY'S rights or obligations under this
Agreement. This Agreement shall be assignable by EMORY to any other nonprofit corporation which
promotes the research purposes of EMORY.

ARTICLE 14. ARBITRATION

14.1. Negotiation. Any dispute related to this License Agreement shall be settled in accordance
with the procedures specified in this Section. COMPANY and EMORY agree to attempt to settle any
claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement through consultation and negotiation in good faith and
spirit of mutual cooperation. Any dispute between the parties relating to this Agreement will first be
submitted in writing to a senior executive of COMPANY and EMORY (the “Dispute Notice”), who will
promptly meet and confer in an effort to resolve such dispute. Any agreed decisions of the executives
will be final and binding on the parties. All negotiations pursuant to this Section are confidential and
shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.
14.2. Mediation. If the parties are unable to resolve any dispute by negotiation within thirty
(30) days of the Dispute Notice, then either party may initiate mediation upon written notice to the other
party demanding mediation (the “Mediation Notice”), whereupon the dispute will be mediated by a
mutually acceptable mediator to be chosen within thirty (30) days after the Mediation Notice. The parties
will share the costs of the mediator equally. If the parties cannot agree upon selection of a mediator
within thirty (30) days of the notice, then upon request of either party, the AAA shall appoint the
mediator. Mediation shall take place in Atlanta, Georgia and shall proceed under the then current
American Arbitration Association Model Commercial Mediation Procedures to the extent that the Model
Procedure does not conflict with provisions of this article.
14.3. Arbitration. Any dispute which has not been resolved by negotiation or mediation as
described above within ninety (90) days of the Dispute Notice, shall be settled by arbitration. The
Arbitrators shall not have the ability to determine the validity or enforceability of any Licensed Patent.
Arbitration shall be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association by three arbitrators, one to be appointed by EMORY, one to be appointed by COMPANY,
and one to be appointed by the two arbitrators appointed by EMORY and COMPANY. Arbitration shall
take place in Atlanta, Georgia, and the decision of the arbitrators shall be enforceable, but not appealable,
in any court of competent jurisdiction.

20
14.4. Costs. The fees and expenses, but not attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with any
mediation or arbitration shall be borne by the party initiating the mediation or arbitration proceeding (or
equally by both parties if both parties jointly initiate such proceeding) subject to reimbursement by the
party which does not prevail in such proceeding promptly upon the termination thereof in the event that
the party initiating such proceeding is the prevailing party.
14.5. Continued Obligations. Each party shall continue to perform its undisputed obligations
under this Agreement, including payments due, pending final resolution of any dispute arising out of or
relating to this Agreement; provided, however that a party may suspend performance during any period in
which the other party fails to perform its undisputed obligations.

ARTICLE 15. MISCELLANEOUS

15.1 Export Controls. COMPANY acknowledges that Licensed Products and Licensed
Technology may be subject to United States laws and regulations controlling the export of technical data,
biological materials, chemical compositions, computer software, laboratory prototypes and other
commodities and that EMORY's obligations under this Agreement are contingent upon compliance with
applicable United States export laws and regulations. The transfer of technical data and commodities may
require a license from the cognizant agency of the United States government or written assurances by
COMPANY that COMPANY shall not export data or commodities to certain foreign countries without
the prior approval of certain United States agencies. EMORY neither represents that an export license
shall not be required nor that, if required, such export license shall issue.
15.2 Legal Compliance. COMPANY shall comply with all laws and regulations relating to its
manufacture, processing, producing, using, importing Selling, labeling or distribution of Licensed
Products and Licensed Technology and shall not take any action which would cause EMORY or
COMPANY to violate any laws or regulations.
15.3 Independent Contractor. COMPANY'S relationship to EMORY shall be that of a
licensee only. COMPANY shall not be the agent of EMORY and shall have no authority to act for, or on
behalf of, EMORY in any matter. Persons retained by COMPANY as employees or agents shall not, by
reason thereof, be deemed to be employees or agents of EMORY.
15.4 Patent Marking. COMPANY shall mark Licensed Products Sold in the United States
with United States patent numbers. Licensed Products manufactured or Sold in other countries shall be
marked in compliance with the intellectual property laws in force in such foreign countries.
15.5 Use of Names. COMPANY shall obtain the prior written approval of EMORY or the
Inventors prior to making use of their names for any commercial purpose, except as required by law. As
an exception to the foregoing, both COMPANY and EMORY shall have the right to publicize the

21
existence of this Agreement; however, either COMPANY nor EMORY shall disclose the terms and
conditions of this Agreement without the other party’s consent, except as required by law..
15.6 Place of Execution. This Agreement and any subsequent modifications or amendments
hereto shall be deemed to have been executed in the State of Georgia, U.S.A.

terminated, except as herein provided or except by another agreement in writing executed by the parties
hereto.
15.10 Survival. Articles [9, 10, 11, 12.7 and 12.8] shall survive termination of this Agreement
for any reason.
15.11 Severability. All rights and restrictions contained herein may be exercised and shall be
applicable and binding only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable laws and are intended to
be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement illegal, invalid or
unenforceable. If any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement, not essential to the
commercial purpose of this Agreement, shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the remaining provisions or portions thereof
shall constitute their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all such remaining
provisions, or portions thereof, shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent legally permissible, any
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement shall be replaced by a valid provision which
shall implement the commercial purpose of the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision. In the event
that any provision essential to the commercial purpose of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable and cannot be replaced by a valid provision which will implement the commercial purpose
of this Agreement, this Agreement and the rights granted herein shall terminate.
15.12 Force Majeure. Any delays in, or failure of performance of any party to this Agreement,
shall not constitute a default hereunder, or give rise to any claim for damages, if and to the extent caused
by occurrences beyond the control of the party affected, including, but not limited to, acts of God, strikes
or other concerted acts of workmen, civil disturbances, fires, floods, explosions, riots, war, rebellion,
sabotage, acts of governmental authority or failure of governmental authority to issue licenses or
approvals which may be required.
