decision in writing.
(ii) If CELGENE offers ENTREMED the opportunity to co-promote,
pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i) of this Agreement, ENTREMED
shall have thirty (30) days to accept such offer by written
notice to CELGENE. If ENTREMED accepts such offer to
co-promote PRODUCTS, then the parties will negotiate, in good
faith, a co-promotion agreement setting forth the substance
of this Section 3.5 and other normal and customary conditions

limited to, sales assistance for indications not then promoted by
ENTREMED sales personnel, ENTREMED shall, in good faith, consider
CELGENE for the opportunity to co-promote such anti-angiogenic
compounds and/or compositions. The decision to offer CELGENE the
opportunity to co-promote such anti-angiogenic compounds and/or

actions taken by the COMMITTEE will be made or taken in the sole
discretion of CELGENE after good faith consideration of the
position or opinion of the ENTREMED members.
(e) Term and Termination. The PROGRAM will continue until there are no
longer any ongoing activities in pursuit of regulatory approval, or
any pending applications for regulatory approval, for PRODUCTS,
pursuant to Sections 3.1(a)(i) and (b) of this Agreement. Once all

AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES to keep, full and accurate books of account
containing all particulars relevant to its sales of PRODUCTS that may
be necessary for the purpose of calculating all royalties payable to
ENTREMED. Such books of account shall be kept at their principal place
of business and, with all necessary supporting data shall, for the
three (3) years next following the end of the calendar year to which

public accountant reasonably acceptable to CELGENE, upon reasonable
notice
- 24 -
during normal business hours at ENTREMED'S expense for the sole purpose
of verifying royalty statements or compliance with this Agreement. In
the event the inspection determines that royalties due ENTREMED for any

shall pay for all costs of the inspection. In all cases, CELGENE shall
pay to ENTREMED any underpaid royalties promptly and with interest at
the prime rate available to ENTREMED from its bank plus two percent
(2%). All information and data reviewed in the inspection shall be used

(b) who need to know the same in order to work towards the commercial
development of PRODUCT on behalf of CELGENE, or
(c) for whom the non-disclosing party, ENTREMED or CELGENE, as the case
may be, has given prior written approval
provided that such THIRD PARTIES are bound by obligations of
confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those set forth
herein.
5.4 Disclosure To Sublicensees. CELGENE may disclose ENTREMED's

petition, or request to allow for review and comment by CELGENE.
ENTREMED shall have the right to take any action that, in its
judgement, is necessary to preserve such PATENT RIGHTS.
(b) Within a reasonable time from the EFFECTIVE DATE, CELGENE and
ENTREMED will discuss each party's patent portfolio with regard to
PRODUCTS, in accordance with prior obligations of confidentiality
owed by each party to any THIRD PARTY, and will use reasonable
efforts to coordinate their respective patent portfolio, to the
extent possible, so as to maximize the patent protection for
PRODUCTS.
- 29 -
7.3 Infringement and Declaratory Judgment Actions.
(a) Notification. In the event that either party learns of the
infringement of any PATENT RIGHT, or the filing of a Declaratory
Judgement action alleging the invalidity, unenforceability, or
noninfringement of any PATENT RIGHT ("DJ ACTION"), that party must
promptly notify the other party of the infringement or DJ ACTION,
as the case may be, in writing, and must provide reasonable
evidence of the infringement. Neither party will notify a THIRD
PARTY of the infringement of any PATENT RIGHT or of the filing of a
DJ ACTION directed to any PATENT RIGHT without first obtaining
consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(b) CELGENE's Right To File Infringement Actions. To the extent
ENTREMED has the right to bring a suit or action to compel the
termination of infringement of the PATENT RIGHTS, including to the
extent provided in Article 7 of the CMCC AGREEMENT, ENTREMED hereby
grants CELGENE the right and option, but not the obligation, to
bring an action for infringement or to defend against a DJ action,
at its sole expense, in the name of ENTREMED and/or in the name of
CELGENE, and to join ENTREMED as a party plaintiff if required. No
settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition
of a suit that adversely affects PATENT RIGHTS may be entered into
without the consent of ENTREMED, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
(c) CELGENE's Right To Defend DJ ACTIONS. In the event that a DJ ACTION
is brought naming CELGENE as a defendant, CELGENE shall have the
right to proceed with the litigation or settle such action
provided, however, that no settlement, consent
- 30 -
judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit that
adversely affects PATENT RIGHTS may be entered into without the
consent of ENTREMED, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(d) CELGENE's Recovery. In the event that CELGENE shall undertake the
enforcement and/or defense of the PATENT RIGHTS by litigation, any
recovery of damages by CELGENE for any such litigation shall be
applied first in satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and
legal fees of CELGENE relating to the suit. The balance remaining
from any such recovery shall, after ENTREMED receives its royalties
from lost sales, belong to CELGENE.
(e) ENTREMED's Right To Litigate. In the event that CELGENE elects not
to pursue an action for infringement or to defend against a DJ
action, as the case may be, CELGENE shall notify ENTREMED in
writing of such election and ENTREMED shall have the right and
option, but not the obligation, at its cost and expense, to
initiate infringement litigation and to retain any recovered
damages.
(f) Cooperation. In any infringement suit either party may institute to
enforce or defend the PATENT RIGHTS pursuant to this Agreement, the
other party hereto shall, at the request of the party initiating
such suit, cooperate in all respects and, to the extent possible,
have its employees testify when requested and make available
relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the
like. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection
with rendering cooperation requested hereunder shall be paid by the
party requesting cooperation.
- 31 -
(g) THIRD PARTY Royalty Reduction. In the event that an infringement
action is brought by a THIRD PARTY against CELGENE alleging that
CELGENE's making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing of
PRODUCTS under the PATENT RIGHTS infringes a THIRD PARTY patent,
and results in a judgment or settlement requiring royalties to be
paid by CELGENE to such THIRD PARTY, the royalties owed by CELGENE
to ENTREMED under Section 4 of this Agreement shall be reduced by
an amount equal to "..." of the royalties owed to such THIRD PARTY,
provided that the royalties owed to ENTREMED shall not be reduced
under this Section 7.3(f) to less than "..." of NET SALES, nor
shall any specific royalty payment be reduced under this Section
7.3(g) by more than "...".

rightfully brought; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have
the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be
paid by the Indemnitor if Indemnitor does not assume the defense, or if
representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the
Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such Indemnitee and any other person represented by
such counsel in such proceedings. The failure to deliver notice to the
Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such
action, only if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this
Section 9, but the omission so to deliver notice to the Indemnitor will
not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any Indemnitee
otherwise than under this Section 9. The Indemnitee under this Section
9, its employees and agents, shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor
and its legal
- 36 -
representatives in the investigations of any action, claim or liability
covered by this indemnification.
SECTION 10 - ASSIGNMENT AND SUCCESSORS
10.1 By Either Party. This Agreement shall not be assignable by either party

business to which this Agreement relates without the consent of the
other party.

CELGENE, its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES and their compliance with all

benefit of said successors in interest and assignees to the parties.
Any such successor or assignee of a party's interest shall expressly

Agreement.
- 37 -
SECTION 11 - FORCE MAJEURE
11.1 Neither party shall be liable to the other party for damages or loss
occasioned by failure of performance by the defaulting party if the
failure is occasioned by war, fire, explosion, flood, strike or
lockout, embargo, or any similar cause beyond the control of the
defaulting party, provided that the party claiming this exception has
exerted all reasonable efforts to avoid or remedy such event and
provided such event does not extend for more than six (6) months.
SECTION 12 - TERMINATION
12.1 Term. Unless earlier terminated as hereinafter provided, this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect until CELGENE's obligations to
pay royalties or other compensation under Section 4 of this Agreement,
either directly or pursuant to a sublicense, terminate.
12.2 By Reason Of FDA Action. If the FDA withdraws or recalls THALIDOMIDE
from the market permanently, or in any other way revokes or terminates
CELGENE's regulatory approval to market and sell THALIDOMIDE and/or
PRODUCTS, CELGENE shall promptly notify ENTREMED in writing, and this
Agreement and all of CELGENE's and ENTREMED's rights and obligations
hereunder shall terminate upon receipt by ENTREMED of such notice.
12.3 Termination Of Royalty Obligations. Upon termination of CELGENE's
obligation to pay royalties and other compensation hereunder with
respect to a specific country and specific PRODUCT as to which
CELGENE's license is then in effect, the license granted to CELGENE
with respect to such country and such PRODUCT pursuant to Section 2
shall be deemed to be fully paid and CELGENE shall thereafter have a
royalty free, exclusive right to use the PATENT RIGHTS to make, have
made, use, offer to sell, sell and import such PRODUCT in such country.
- 38 -
12.4 Breach.
(a) By Either Party. This Agreement shall be terminable upon the
material breach or default of either party. In the event of a
material breach or default by a party ("Defaulting Party"), the
other party ("Non-Defaulting Party") shall give the Defaulting
Party written notice of the default. The Defaulting Party will then
have sixty (60) days to cure the breach. If cure has not been
affected within said sixty (60) days, the Non-Defaulting Party
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.
(b) By CELGENE.
(i) Payments. If and only if CELGENE materially breaches this
Agreement by failure to pay royalties and/or sublicensing or
milestone payments due under Section 4 of this Agreement, and
fails to cure such material breach within sixty (60) days of
receiving written notice thereof pursuant to Section 12.4(a)
of this Agreement then:
a) CELGENE's rights under this Agreement to ENTREMED
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY shall terminate; and
b) CELGENE shall grant to ENTREMED, to the extent not
prohibited by the United States Government or by prior
contractual obligations to any THIRD PARTY, an exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free license, with the right to
sublicense, under CELGENE DEVELOPED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
to make, use, offer to sell, sell, and import PRODUCTS in
the TERRITORY.
(ii) Diligence. If and only if ENTREMED exercises its right and
option to terminate the license granted to CELGENE in
- 39 -
the entire TERRITORY, pursuant to Section 3.1(f) of this
Agreement, or ENTREMED exercises its right and option to
terminate the license granted to CELGENE in Europe, Canada,
or the PACIFIC RIM, pursuant to Section 3.2(c)(i) of this
Agreement, then, either in the entire TERRITORY or in the
region in which such termination has occurred, i.e., Europe,
Canada, or the PACIFIC RIM, as applicable:
a) CELGENE's rights under this Agreement to ENTREMED
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY shall terminate; and
b) CELGENE shall grant to ENTREMED, to the extent not
prohibited by the United States Government or by prior
contractual obligations to any THIRD PARTY, an exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free license, with the right to
sublicense, under CELGENE DEVELOPED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
to make, use, offer to sell, sell, and import PRODUCTS.
The grant of rights by CELGENE to ENTREMED under this Section 12.4
expressly excludes rights in any CELGENE EXISTING INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY.
(c) Termination under this Section 12.4 will be effective upon the date
specified in the written notice. All termination rights shall be in
addition to and not in substitution for any other remedies that may
be available to the Non-Defaulting Party. Termination pursuant to
this Section 12.4 shall not relieve the Defaulting Party from
liability and damages to the Non-Defaulting Party for default.
Waiver by either party of a single default or a succession of
defaults shall not deprive such party of any right to terminate or
convert this Agreement arising by reason of any subsequent default.
- 40 -
12.5 Insolvency. Either party to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement
upon receipt of notice that the other party has become insolvent or has
suspended business in all material respects hereof, or has consented to
an involuntary petition purporting to be pursuant to any reorganization
or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, or has made an assignment for
the benefit of creditors or has applied for or consented to the
appointment of a receiver or trustee for a substantial part of its
property, by giving written notice to the other party, and termination
of this Agreement will be effective upon receipt of such notice.
12.6 Work-In-Progress. Upon termination of this Agreement, CELGENE shall be
entitled to, but shall not be obligated to finish any work-in-progress
at the time of termination and sell the same as well as all completed
inventory of PRODUCTS which remains on hand as of the date of the
termination, so long as CELGENE pays to ENTREMED the royalties
applicable to said subsequent sales in accordance with the same terms
and conditions as set forth in this Agreement.
12.7 Survival. The obligations of Sections 5 and 9, as well as Sections
12.6, 12.7, 12.8, and 13.3, shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
12.8 Reversion of Rights. Upon termination of this Agreement or of the
rights and licenses granted to CELGENE in any country of the TERRITORY,
CELGENE agrees not to use the TECHNOLOGY RIGHTS or PATENT RIGHTS or
information or technology derived therefrom for the manufacture, use or
sale of PRODUCTS in any country other than those countries in which
CELGENE retains a license under this Agreement. In addition, all rights
to the TECHNOLOGY RIGHTS and PATENT RIGHTS in such country shall revert
to ENTREMED and may be used by ENTREMED without restriction in any
country other than those countries in which CELGENE retains a license
under this Agreement.
