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 each shall

(5%) or more, then CELGENE 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

with CELGENE's rights under this Agreement,
(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
-27-
32
provided that such THIRD PARTIES are bound by
obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as
stringent as those set forth herein.

-28-
33
(b) CELGENE shall reimburse ENTREMED for all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred after the
EFFECTIVE DATE for the filing, prosecution and

action, request for terminal disclaimer, petition,
and request for reissue or reexamination of any
patent issuing from such application shall be
provided to CELGENE sufficiently prior to the
filing of such application, response, 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.
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
-29-
34
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 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
-30-
35
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.
(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
-31-
36
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 "...".

written evidence of such insurance upon request.
9.2 By ENTREMED. ENTREMED will defend, indemnify and hold harmless
CELGENE, its successors, AFFILIATES and licensors and their
employees, agents, officers, trustees, shareholders and
directors and each of them (the "CELGENE Indemnified Parties")
from and against any and all THIRD PARTY claims, causes of
action and costs (including reasonable attorney's fees) of any
nature made or lawsuits or other proceedings filed or
otherwise instituted against the CELGENE Indemnified Parties
in connection with any claims, suits or judgments arising out
of any theory of product liability concerning the development,
testing, manufacture, sale or use of any PRODUCT by ENTREMED,
its AFFILIATES or its SUBLICENSEES prior to the EFFECTIVE
DATE.
9.2.1 ENTREMED's represents and warrants that it presently
carries, in full force and effect, and will continue to
carry, product liability insurance against any claims,
judgments, liabilities and expenses incurred in
connection with the use of THALIDOMIDE in clinical
trials by or on behalf of
-35-
40
ENTREMED, and shall provide CELGENE with written
evidence of such insurance upon request.
9.3 Conditions to Indemnification. A person or entity that intends
to claim indemnification under this Section 9 (the
"Indemnitee") shall promptly notify the party from whom
indemnification is sought (the "Indemnitor"), of any loss,
claim, damage, liability or action in respect of which the
Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the
Indemnitor shall assume the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the Indemnitee whether or not such
claim is 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
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 without the written consent of the other party,
except that either party may assign this Agreement to an
AFFILIATE, successor in interest or
-36-
41
transferee of all or substantially all of the portion of the
business to which this Agreement relates without the consent
of the other party.
10.2 By CELGENE. If CELGENE assigns or licenses its rights under
this Agreement to a SUBLICENSEE or an AFFILIATE, such
SUBLICENSEE or AFFILIATE shall be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. CELGENE shall advise ENTREMED of
any such assignment or license and provide ENTREMED with a
copy of any sublicense within thirty (30) days of execution of
such sublicense.
10.3 CELGENE As Guarantor. CELGENE shall guarantee and be
responsible for the payment of all royalties due and the
making of reports under this Agreement by reason of the
development and sales of any PRODUCTS by CELGENE, its
AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES and their compliance with all
applicable terms of this Agreement. Performance or
satisfaction of any obligations of CELGENE under this
Agreement by any of its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES shall be
deemed performance or satisfaction of such obligation by
CELGENE.
10.4 Binding Effect. This agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of said successors in interest and assignees to
the parties. Any such successor or assignee of a party's
interest shall expressly assume in writing the performance of
all the terms and conditions of this Agreement to be performed
by said party and such Assignment shall not relieve the
Assignor of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
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
-37-
42
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.
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
-38-
43
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 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
-39-
44
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.
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
-40-
45
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.
