(ii) Product Information License
(1) Nonexclusive License - Information.
XXXX hereby grants to Discovery a nonexclusive license to use the Product
Information to make Products in the Licensed Field and Licensed Territory and to
obtain governmental approval of Products in the Licensed Field and Licensed
Territory.
(2) Confidentiality.
Discovery agrees to maintain the Product Information in confidence in
accordance with this Section 2A(ii)(2) both during and after the term of this
Agreement. Discovery may disclose the Product Information to any governmental
agency pursuant to an application for approval of a Product in the Licensed
Field and Licensed Territory if the confidentiality of such Product Information
is reasonably protected under the law or policy of such agency. The law and
policies imposed by the United States FDA shall be deemed acceptable for the
United States. Otherwise, only persons within Discovery's organization and
consultants of Discovery who execute written confidentiality agreements shall be
permitted access to the Product Information, and only on a need-to-know basis.
Discovery may make copies of the Product Information, but all such copies shall
be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(3) Additional Product Information.
If Discovery requires any existing raw or other data that verifies or
supports any of the Product Information (including raw data contained in
laboratory notebooks and the like) with regard to any governmental approval
process or if required by any governmental approval agency, XXXX will use its
best efforts to obtain such raw data from Sumitomo and/or Taisho upon
Discovery's written request to XXXX. XXXX shall pay the actual cost of the
translation and verification of the translation of such data. Within thirty (30)
days after the receipt of a supported invoice regarding such payments, Discovery
will reimburse XXXX for all such payments, provided that the translation is
requested or approved by Discovery. All additional data provided to Discovery
under this Section 2A(ii)(3) shall be considered Product Information hereunder.
B. Sublicenses.
(i) Discovery may grant written, exclusive or nonexclusive
sublicenses to third parties; however, XXXX shall not have any direct
enforcement obligations to any such sublicensees under Section 9. Any
agreement granting a sublicense shall state that the sublicense is
subject to the termination of this Agreement. Discovery shall have the
same responsibility for the activities of any sublicensee as if the
activities were directly those of Discovery.

X. Xxxxx Forward.
(i) To the extent permitted by applicable law, XXXX hereby grants
Discovery a nonexclusive license to make the Compounds under the
claims of future patent applications, and patents which mature from
any such applications, which are owned by XXXX if the claimed
inventions are new and useful processes for making the Compounds or
Products. Discovery's rights under such inventions shall be limited to
the practice thereof within the Licensed Field and Licensed Territory
and shall be subject to the intervening rights of third parties that
have funded the research under which the inventions were first
conceived and/or made and to the rights of current licensees. XXXX
will promptly notify Discovery of any such invention by mailing a copy
of the U.S. patent application, without claims, directed to such
invention to:
Discovery Laboratories, Inc.
Attn: Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxxx
000 Xxxx Xxxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000
Such notification shall be given to Discovery promptly after XXXX has
filed the U.S. patent application.
(ii) Sixty (60) days after receipt by Discovery of such
notification, and unless Discovery informs XXXX in writing that it has
elected otherwise, such new and useful invention(s) shall become a
part of the Ancillary Patents hereunder. At any time more than two (2)
years after receipt by Discovery of such notification, XXXX may
inquire of Discovery as to whether Discovery is in fact then actually
using the added invention(s) to make Compounds. If Discovery is not
doing so, XXXX may, at its sole discretion, delete such invention(s)
from Ancillary Patents.
Section 3. Consideration.
A. Development.
Discovery agrees to and warrants that: it has, or will obtain, the
expertise necessary to independently evaluate the inventions of the Licensed
Patents; it will establish and actively and diligently pursue the development
plan (see Appendix H) to the end that the inventions of the Licensed Patents
will be utilized to provide Products for sale in the retail market; and within
one month following the end of each calendar quarter ending on March 31, June
30, September 30 and December 31 and until the date of first commercial sale of
Products, it will supply XXXX with a written Development Report. All development
activities and strategies and all aspects of Products design and decisions to
market and the like are entirely at the discretion of Discovery, and Discovery
shall rely entirely on its own expertise with respect thereto. XXXX'x review of
Discovery's development plan is solely to verify the existence of Discovery's
commitment to development activity and to assure compliance with Discovery's
obligations to utilize the inventions of the Licensed Patents for the
marketplace, as set forth above. The development plan set forth on Appendix H
represents the current plans for the development work to be carried out by
Discovery. The parties recognize and agree that it will be necessary from time
to time to revise the development plan to take account of changes in
circumstances relating to the development work, and that the parties shall work
together in good faith to determine mutually acceptable modifications to the
development plan; provided, however, that such modifications shall only become
effective once a written revised development plan is prepared and signed on
behalf of both parties
