AND
THIS
AGREEMENT is made the 15th day of March 2010
BETWEEN:
(1)
|
Cancer Research Technology
Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under number
1626049 with registered office at Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx
XX0X 0XX, Xxxxxxx (“CRT”);
and
|
(2)
|
Genesis Biopharma, Inc.
(formerly known as Freight Management Corporation), a company
incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America whose
principal place of business is at Xxxxx 000, 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxx., Xxx Xxxxx,

|
RECITALS
(A)
|
CRT
is an oncology focused technology transfer and development
company.
|
(B)
|
CRT
is wholly owned by Cancer Research UK, a company registered under number
4325234 and registered charity number 1089464. Cancer Research UK was
formed as a result of the merger on 4 February 2002 of two charities: the
Cancer Research Campaign (“CRC”) and Imperial
Cancer Research Fund.
|
(C)
|
CRC
funded research concerning the CD55 antigen in the laboratories of
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx at the University of Nottingham (the “University”). Pursuant
to a Research Collaboration and Option Agreement dated 27th
July 2000 made between CRT (under its former name of Cancer Research
Campaign Technology Limited), Viragen (Scotland) Limited and the
University, as amended by the Novation Agreement dated 7th
September 2001 (the “Collaboration
Agreement”), the research led to a novel therapeutic use of
anti-CD55 antibodies (the “Invention”) and CRT is
the registered proprietor of the application(s) for patent(s) described in
Schedule 2 (the ”Scheduled Patents”) in
respect of the Invention. Under a letter agreement dated
11th
November 2003 between Viragen, Inc. (“Viragen”) and CRT (the
“Letter
Agreement”), CRT granted a limited licence to Viragen to certain
intellectual property in respect of the Invention. The Collaboration
Agreement and Letter Agreement expired and Viragen (the parent company of
Viragen (Scotland) Limited), entered into a patent and know how licence
agreement dated 27 April 2005 (the “2005 Licence”) under
which CRT granted Viragen an exclusive licence to the Licensed
Intellectual Property (as defined by the 2005 Licence, the “2005 Licensed Intellectual
Property”). During the term of the Letter Agreement and
2005 Licence, Viragen (either itself or through its wholly owned
subsidiary Viragen (Scotland) Limited) generated certain Viragen
Intellectual Property (defined in Clause
1).
|
(D)
|
In
connection with the liquidation of Viragen and Viragen (Scotland) Limited,
the 2005 Licence was terminated in accordance with its terms by CRT. In
the interests of ensuring the further development of the Invention, CRT
waived its rights to call for Viragen’s rights in the Viragen Intellectual
Property (as defined in the 2005 Licence) and the clinical data generated
by Viragen relating to the 2005 Licensed Intellectual Property to be
assigned to CRT. At the request of Viragen’s liquidators, CRT
negotiated and concluded a licence (the “Percipio Licence” as
defined below) in materially similar terms to the 2005 Licence with
Percipio Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“Percipio”) to ensure the
commercial exploitation of the Invention and anti-CD55 antibody programme
to develop Products (as defined in Clause 1). During the term
of the Percipio Licence, Percipio generated certain Percipio Intellectual
Property (defined in Clause
1).
|
GB 000002
(E)
|
On
the basis of the arrangements described in paragraph D, (i) the Viragen
Intellectual Property was assigned to Xxxxxxxx Atlantic, a company
organized in the Cayman Islands (“Xxxxxxxx”), pursuant to
an Assignation executed by Xxxxxxxx on 6 May 2008;
(ii) Xxxxxxxx entered into that certain License Agreement (“Agreement I”) effective
as of August 20, 2008, by and between Xxxxxxxx and Percipio (formerly
known as Sunburst Acquisitions III, Inc., a Colorado corporation), and
that certain License Agreement (“Agreement II,”
collectively with Agreement I the “Sunburst License
Agreements”) effective as of August 21, 2008, by and between
Xxxxxxxx and Percipio, pursuant to which Xxxxxxxx agreed to license to
Percipio the Viragen Intellectual Property; and (iii) CRT and Xxxxxxxx
entered into that certain Agreement effective as of October 21, 2008,
between CRT and Xxxxxxxx (the “Xxxxxxxx Side
Agreement”), pursuant to which Xxxxxxxx agreed to grant CRT an
exclusive worldwide right and licence to the Viragen Intellectual Property
in the event that the Percipio Licence and Agreement II are
terminated.
|
(F)
|
It
is proposed that concurrent with this Agreement Xxxxxxxx will terminate
the Sunburst Licence Agreements by agreement with Percipio and will assign
the Viragen Intellectual Property to Genesis Biopharma pursuant to an
asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase
Agreement”).
|
(G)
|
It
is proposed that concurrent with this Agreement CRT, Xxxxxxxx, Percipio,
and Genesis Biopharma will enter into an agreement (the “Licence Termination and Waiver
Agreement”) pursuant to which CRT and Percipio will terminate the
Percipio License and CRT will waive its rights arising from the Xxxxxxxx
Side Agreement in order to facilitate the commercial exploitation of the
Invention and anti-CD55 antibody programme, including by the grant of an
exclusive licence under the Licensed Patents (defined in Clause 1), the
Licensed Know How and the Licensed Materials upon the terms and conditions
set out in this Agreement.
|
(H)
|
Percipio
has assigned all rights in the Percipio Intellectual Property to Genesis
Biopharma as referred to in the Licence Termination and Waiver
Agreement.

GB 0000011
2.4
|
Genesis
Biopharma shall have the right to grant Sub-licences of any or all of the
rights granted to it pursuant to Clause 2.1 to a Third Party or an
Affiliate if, in respect of each Sub-licence, Genesis Biopharma ensures
that CRT’s rights under this Agreement are maintained and that Genesis
Biopharma meets the material terms and conditions of the
Agreement. In the case of the grant of a Sub-licence to a Third
Party only, Genesis Biopharma shall obtain the prior written consent of
CRT, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided,
however, that CRT’s failure to provide written “good cause” denial of
consent within thirty (30) Business Days after Genesis Biopharma requests
consent to grant a Sub-licence shall be deemed to be consent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) Genesis
Biopharma shall have the right to grant Sub-licences of any or all of the
rights granted to it pursuant to Clause 2.1 to any Affiliate of Genesis
Biopharma without obtaining CRT’s prior written consent and (ii) Genesis
Biopharma shall also have the right, without obtaining CRT’s prior written
consent, to enter into a sub-contract manufacturing, co-marketing or

Products. Within thirty (30) Business Days of the grant of any Sub-licence
to a Third Party, Genesis Biopharma shall provide CRT with a true copy of
the Sub-licence signed by Genesis Biopharma and such Third Party, at
Genesis Biopharma’s own expense. Any Sub-licence that is granted in breach
of this Clause 2.4 shall be void. Without prejudice to Genesis Biopharma’s
obligation to seek CRT’s consent to grant Sub-licences to Third Parties as
set forth under this Clause 2.4, any Sub-licence granted by Genesis
Biopharma to a Third Party shall be presumed to meet the requirements of
this Clause 2.4 if it shall:
|
|
2.4.1
|
be
granted on an arm’s length basis reflecting the arms length fair market
value for 100% cash consideration;
|
|
2.4.2
|
provide
that the Sub-licence shall terminate automatically on termination for
whatever reason of this Agreement;
|
|
2.4.3
|
provide
that the Third Party with whom the Sub-licence has been entered into shall
undertake to allow Genesis Biopharma access to such Third Party’s books
and records relating to the calculation of Net Sales of Products, and
Genesis Biopharma undertakes to include in its books and records or make
available to CRT all Net Sales information and records it receives from
such Third Party relating to
Products;
|
|
2.4.4
|
provide
that, in the event of termination of this Agreement, the Third Party
Sub-licensee shall have the right, for a period of ninety (90) Business
Days following the date of termination, to sell off stocks of Product held
by it at the date of termination;
and
|
|
2.4.5
|
prohibit
the assignment of the Sub-licence to any Third Party; provided, however,
that Genesis Biopharma shall be permitted to permit such Third Party
Sub-licensee to sub-license the rights granted to it under the
Sub-licence, provided that (1) Genesis Biopharma shall ensure that the
terms of such sub-sub-licence comply with the terms of this Clause 2.4
mutatis mutandis;
and (2) the terms of the sub-sub-licence prohibit the sub-licensing of the
rights granted thereunder and Genesis Biopharma shall, at its own cost,
provide a copy of each sub-sub-licence to CRT as soon as possible after
completion.
|
2.5
|
Any
breach of Clauses 2.3 or 2.4 shall be a material breach of this
Agreement.
|
2.6
|
In
the event that this Agreement is terminated by Genesis Biopharma pursuant
to Clause 10.5 hereof, CRT agrees that it will not directly or indirectly
contact or contract with any Sub-licensee or sub-sub-licensee of Genesis
Biopharma, or enter into any contractual arrangement with any
Sub-Licensee, sub-sub-licensee or competitor of Genesis Biopharma in

of the milestones, but on doing so, if the Parties cannot reach agreement,
CRT shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with
the terms of Clause 10.5 below. Failure by Genesis Biopharma to
deliver to CRT any quarterly or six-monthly report as provided in Clause
3.1.2 shall be a material breach of this
Agreement.

Genesis
Biopharma shall, and shall procure that its Affiliates and Sub-licensees
shall, use their commercially reasonable endeavours to: (i) obtain all
necessary and desirable regulatory and other approvals to market and sell
Products (collectively, “Marketing Approval”)
from any relevant Competent Authority and, upon receipt of Marketing
Approval in a country; (ii) commercialize the Products in each such
country to the maximum extent practicable; and (iii) without limitation of
its obligations under Clause 3.4(i) and (ii) hereof, adhere to the
Marketing Plan as further set forth in Clause 3.5
hereof.

3.5
|
Commencing
with the first full calendar year to occur after the first grant of
Marketing Approval for a Product by a Competent Authority and for each
calendar year thereafter during the term of the Agreement, Genesis
Biopharma shall submit to CRT an annual Marketing Plan (each a “Marketing Plan”) within
forty-five (45) days after the first day of a calendar year, which shall
include a summary of the marketing, sales and distribution plans on a
country-by-country basis for such calendar year of Genesis Biopharma or
its Affiliates or Sub-licensees, as applicable. Each Marketing
Plan shall be of sufficient detail to allow CRT to determine that a highly
professional and logical plan has been devised that will support the
objective of making the Product available to as many patients as possible
as early as possible, within the applicable laws and regulations, and
thereby generating, growing and maintaining Product sales throughout the
term of this Agreement. The Marketing Plan may be subject to
changes based upon local market conditions, changes in competition,
changes in other aspects that may be expected to have an impact on local
sales results and as a result, the Marketing Plan shall be subject to
change by Genesis Biopharma upon prior written notice to CRT (provided,
further, that the foregoing shall be without limitation of the obligations
of Genesis Biopharma pursuant to Clause 3.4(i) and (ii)
hereof). All costs relating to the preparation and submission
of the Marketing Plans shall be borne by Genesis Biopharma. All
Marketing Plans shall be deemed as Confidential Information for purposes
of this Agreement and CRT shall not provide any Third Party with access to
any Marketing Plan, or any portion
thereof.

|
[*****************************]
within thirty (30) Business Days of the Financing

and
GB 0000014
|
4.1.4
|
subject
to the provisions of Clauses 4.2, 4.3, 10.6 and 11.4, the following
payments within thirty (30) Business Days of the occurrence of the
relevant milestone event for each diagnostic Product (and separate
Indications with respect thereto):
|
[*****************************]
on the grant of Marketing Approval in a Major Market;
and
|
4.1.5
|
subject
to the provisions of Clauses 10.6 and 11.4, royalties of [**********] of
Net Sales of therapeutic Products and royalties of [**********] of Net
Sales of diagnostic/imaging Products (together “Direct
Royalties”);
|
and
|
4.1.6
|
subject
to the provisions of Clauses 10.6 and 11.4, [**********] of Sub-licence
Fees (“Indirect
Royalties”).
|
4.2
|
For
the avoidance of doubt, if, in respect of each of the milestone events
described in Clauses 4.1.3 and 4.1.4, that milestone event is achieved in
respect of a particular Product by a Sub-licensee which is not an
Affiliate of Genesis Biopharma, Genesis Biopharma shall not be liable to
pay the payment linked in Clause 4.1.3 or Clause 4.1.4 to that particular
milestone event and the only payments to be made, if applicable, shall be
under Clauses 4.1.5 and 4.1.6.
|
4.3
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) Genesis Biopharma shall not
be obliged to pay the sums in respect of the milestone events in Clauses
4.1.3 or 4.1.4 if it has already made four (4) such payments in respect
thereof previously, and (ii) Genesis Biopharma shall also not be obliged
to pay the sums in respect of the milestone events in Clauses 4.1.3 or
4.1.4 which have occurred for an Orphan Indication. For the avoidance of
doubt the maximum number of milestone events that Genesis Biopharma shall
be obliged to pay sums in respect of under Clauses 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 is
twenty (20).

report setting out in respect of that Quarter the sales of Products on a
country by country basis, if any, made by Genesis Biopharma, the
calculation of the Net Sales and the royalty payable to CRT in respect of
such Net Sales together with any Sub-licence Fees received by Genesis
Biopharma. Subject to the provisions of Clauses 10.6, 11.1 and
11.8, the royalties in this Clause 4.4 shall not be reduced, limited or
diminished in any way by virtue of the fact that Genesis Biopharma is
required to seek a licence or other rights from or make payments to any
Third Party for the exploitation of any of the rights granted to it under
this Agreement.
|
GB 0000015
5.
|
PAYMENT
|
5.1
|
All
payments due to CRT under this Agreement shall be made in pounds sterling
in cleared funds to the account of
[******************************************************] (or
such other account details as CRT may from time to time notify to Genesis
Biopharma).
|
5.2
|
Where
sums are received by Genesis Biopharma in a currency other than pounds
sterling, conversion of such currencies to pounds sterling shall be
performed at the closing mid-spot rate for that currency published in the
Financial Times in London on the last Business Day of the Quarter in which
the sum is to be paid.
|
5.3
|
All
costs of transmission or currency conversion shall be borne by Genesis
Biopharma.
|
5.4
|
All
payments by Genesis Biopharma to CRT under this Agreement are expressed to
be exclusive of value added tax howsoever arising, and Genesis Biopharma
shall pay to CRT in addition to those payments or if earlier on receipt of
a tax invoice or invoices from CRT, all Value Added Tax for which CRT is
liable to account in relation to any supply made or deemed to be made for
Value Added Tax purposes pursuant to this
Agreement.
|
5.5
|
All
payments to CRT shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
deferment in respect of, any claims, set-off and taxes imposed or levied
by any Competent Authority including any withholding taxes. In
the event that Genesis Biopharma is obliged to deduct any withholding or
other taxes it shall pay to CRT an amount as shall result in the net
amount being received by CRT being equal to the amount which would have
been received by CRT had no deduction or withholding been made; provided
always that, if CRT is able to recover or set-off any such deduction or
withholding, it shall refund such amount to Genesis Biopharma as shall
result in the net amount being retained by CRT being equal to the amount
which would have been received by CRT had no deduction or withholding been
made.
|
5.6
|
The
provisions of Clause 5.5 above requiring Genesis Biopharma to pay to CRT a
sum such that the net amount received by CRT is equal to the amount that
would have been received by CRT had no deduction or withholding been made
shall not apply if, and only to the extent that, the relevant deduction
results from Genesis Biopharma being under a legal obligation under the UK
tax rules requiring Genesis Biopharma to deduct income tax at source from
royalties payable by Genesis Biopharma to CRT in respect of a UK granted
patent.
|
5.7
|
Where
CRT does not receive payment of any sums due to it within thirty (30)
Business Days of the relevant date set out in Clause 4 (the “Due Date”), interest
shall accrue on the sum due and owing to CRT at the rate equivalent to an
annual rate of three per cent (3%) over the then current base
rate of the Bank of England, for the UK, calculated on a daily basis,
without prejudice to CRT’s right to receive payment on the Due
Date.

BOOKS
AND RECORDS
|
6.1
|
Pursuant
to Clause 4.4, Genesis Biopharma shall prepare Quarterly Reports. The
Quarterly Reports shall include Net Sales by country, including the
company making the sales and the amount of Products sold. If CRT gives
notice to Genesis Biopharma within twenty (20) Business Days of the
receipt of any such Quarterly Report that it does not accept the same,
that Quarterly Report shall be certified by an independent accountant
appointed by agreement between Genesis Biopharma and CRT or, in default of
agreement within ten (10) Business Days, appointed by the President for
the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and
Wales in London. Genesis Biopharma shall (subject to the independent
accountant agreeing to maintain the confidentiality of the books and
records save insofar as is necessary for the proper reporting to Genesis
Biopharma and CRT) make available to the independent accountant all books
and records required for the purpose of that certification and the
statements so certified shall be final and binding between the
Parties. The cost of the certification shall be the
responsibility of Genesis Biopharma if the statement is shown to have
underestimated the monies payable to CRT by more than five per cent (5%)
and the responsibility of CRT otherwise. Any outstanding
payments due to CRT which are identified as a result of carrying out the
investigation shall be paid to CRT within ten (10) Business Days. There
shall be no more than one certification by an independent accountant in
relation to any one calendar year.

6.2
|
Genesis
Biopharma shall keep true and accurate records and books of account, and
shall require in its contracts with Sub-licensees that its Sub-licensees
shall keep true and accurate records and books of account, containing all
data necessary for the calculation of the amounts payable by Genesis
Biopharma to CRT pursuant to this Agreement, including such amounts
payable pursuant to Clause 2.4.3. Such records and books of
account shall be kept for six (6) years following the end of the calendar
year to which they relate and Genesis Biopharma’s records and books of
account shall, upon reasonable notice having been given by CRT, be open at
reasonable times on Business Days for inspection under the terms of
confidentiality contained in this Agreement, by an independent firm of
accountants appointed by agreement between the Parties or, failing such
agreement within ten (10) Business Days, appointed by the President for
the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and
Wales in London. The cost of any such examination shall be borne by CRT,
such examination to take place and be completed not later than six (6)

MANAGEMENT
OF PATENT RIGHTS; OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY
|
7.1
|
Subject
to Clauses 7.4, 7.5 and 7.6 hereof, Genesis Biopharma shall, from the
Commencement Date, undertake or procure the filing, prosecution, and
maintenance of the Licensed Intellectual Property, including the Licensed
Patents, in the name of CRT and be responsible for any enforcement
proceedings relating to them (including any interference or opposition
proceedings); provided, further, that the Parties agree that Genesis
Biopharma’s obligations hereunder shall extend only within the Field
(unless such filing, prosecution or maintenance is not separable by
Field). Genesis Biopharma or CRT shall provide copies of all relevant
correspondence to CRT or Genesis Biopharma, as the case may be, within
fourteen (14) Business Days of receipt, and the Parties shall consult in
all material respects with each other in relation to such filing,
prosecution, and maintenance. Genesis Biopharma shall also be responsible
for payment of all fees incurred by or on instructions of Percipio but
which are not paid by Percipio. Genesis Biopharma shall not
appoint or change any outside firm of Patent Attorneys appointed to
represent it in the efforts described in this Clause 7.1 without CRT’s
prior written consent (which consent CRT shall not unreasonably
withhold).
|
GB 0000017
7.2
|
Each
Party shall give the other immediate notice of any actual or suspected
infringement of the Licensed Patents or any actual or suspected misuse or
misapplication of the Licensed Know How and/or the Licensed Materials by a
Third Party which comes to that Party’s attention during the term of this
Agreement.
|
7.3
|
If
either Party receives any notice, claim, or proceedings from any Third
Party alleging infringement of that Third Party’s intellectual property by
reason of either Party’s activities in relation to this Agreement or the
use and exploitation of the Licensed Intellectual Property in the Field,
the Party receiving that notice shall forthwith (but in no event in excess
of three (3) Business Days) notify the other Party of the notice, claim or
proceeding.
|
7.4
|
Genesis
Biopharma may (subject to Clause 7.5), at its own cost, defend and enforce
or may procure the defence or enforcement of the rights under the Licensed
Intellectual Property in the Field, including any interference
proceedings. CRT shall, at Genesis Biopharma’s cost, render all such
reasonable assistance as Genesis Biopharma reasonably
requests. As used herein, “cost” shall mean the actual
expenditure of expenses and shall not include any consulting fee or fees
for reasonable time spent by CRT rendering assistance pursuant to this
provision. To the extent that in any proceedings the court of competent
jurisdiction does not award damages to Genesis Biopharma in respect of
lost royalties, any damages or financial settlement monies received by
Genesis Biopharma pursuant to such proceedings shall, after deduction of
any and all of the costs and expenses incurred by Genesis Biopharma in
such proceedings (to the extent such costs and expenses have not been
recovered from the other Party), be treated as Net Sales. If Genesis
Biopharma, for any reason whatsoever, decides not to defend or enforce the
Licensed Intellectual Property in the Field or any part of it pursuant to
this Clause 7.4, it shall promptly notify CRT and CRT shall have the right
to undertake proceedings on its own behalf pursuant to Clause
7.5.
|
7.5
|
If
Genesis Biopharma elects not to defend or enforce the relevant Licensed
Intellectual Property in the Field pursuant to Clause 7.4 and if CRT
desires the enforcement or defence of such rights it shall notify Genesis
Biopharma and Genesis Biopharma shall, at CRT’s request and cost, grant to
CRT any and all rights that would be necessary solely for the purpose of
allowing CRT to undertake such enforcement or defence. If Genesis
Biopharma is unable to grant such rights then it shall, at CRT’s request,
grant to CRT the right to conduct such an action in its name. CRT shall
defend and enforce or shall procure the defence or enforcement of the
rights under Licensed Intellectual Property in the Field pursuant to this
Clause 7.5 at its own cost. Genesis Biopharma shall provide, at CRT’s
cost, all such reasonable assistance as CRT may reasonably request in any
such proceedings. Any monies received by CRT, or any damages or
costs awarded against CRT, pursuant to any enforcement or defence of the
Licensed Intellectual Property by it under this Clause 7.5 shall be solely
for the benefit of CRT.
|
GB 0000018
7.6
|
In
the event that the Licensed Intellectual Property is licensed to a Third
Party outside the Field for commercial purposes the costs and expenses in
relation to the prosecution, maintenance and defence of the Licensed
Intellectual Property referred to in this Clause 7 shall no longer be
borne by Genesis Biopharma alone and CRT undertakes to ensure that such
costs and expenses shall be apportioned as between each licensee of the
Licensed Intellectual Property in shares reflecting the commercial value
of the Licensed Intellectual Property in the respective fields. However,
nothing herein, including any licence to a Third Party by CRT, shall
prevent Genesis Biopharma from exercising its rights under Clause 7.4, and
CRT agrees to take all steps necessary with said Third Parties to grant to
Genesis Biopharma any and all rights necessary to allow Genesis Biopharma
to undertake such enforcement or defence. CRT further agrees
that it will not allow any Third Party to enforce or defend the Licensed
Intellectual Property, either within or outside the Field, without the
prior express written permission of Genesis
Biopharma.
|
7.7
|
CRT
shall, at CRT’s cost, provide such reasonable assistance and advice to
Genesis Biopharma as Genesis Biopharma may request (including the
provision of copies of any necessary documents) which is necessary or
desirable for Genesis Biopharma to apply for an extension to the term of
protection of the Licensed Patents in the Field including any SPC or other
like form of protection anywhere in the
Territory.
|
7.8
|
As
between the Parties, their Affiliates and Sub-licensees: (i)
all rights, title and interest in the Genesis Biopharma Intellectual
Property shall be exclusively owned by Genesis Biopharma and (ii) all
rights, title and interest in any clinical data or regulatory filings
relating to the Products shall be exclusively owned by Genesis
Biopharma.

fitness for a particular purpose.

research, development, manufacture, marketing, selling and disposal of
Products by Percipio, Genesis Biopharma, its Affiliates and/or any
Sub-licensees, provided always that no such Losses arise or have arisen as
a consequence of any breach of this Agreement, breach of statutory duty,
negligent act, omission or wilful misconduct of or by CRT or its
Affiliates or their officers, servants and
agents.
|
8.7
|
In
the event that CRT intends to seek indemnification under Clause 8.6, as
applicable, it shall promptly inform the indemnifying Party of a claim
after receiving notice of the claim and shall permit the indemnifying
Party to direct and control the defence of the claim and shall provide
such reasonable assistance as reasonably requested by the indemnifying
Party (at the indemnifying Party’s cost) in the defence of the claim. As
used herein, “cost” shall mean the actual expenditure of expenses and
shall not include any consulting fee or fees for reasonable time spent by
CRT rendering assistance pursuant to this
provision.
|
8.8
|
Under
no circumstances shall CRT’s liability to Genesis Biopharma under this
Agreement in total exceed the sums which are actually paid or due and
owing by Genesis Biopharma to CRT pursuant to this Agreement except in the
event Losses arise or have arisen as a consequence of any negligent act,
omission or wilful misconduct of or by CRT or its Affiliates or their
officers, servants and agents.
|
8.9
|
Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed as excluding or limiting the
liability of either Party or any of their officers, employees and agents
to the other Party for death or personal injury of any person resulting
from the negligence or wilful misconduct of such
persons.

|
the
Suspension is of no greater scope than is required by the Force
Majeure;
|
|
16.1.2

Decision
Point:
Go: anti-tumor (ADCC) effects observed and little appreciable gross
mAb-related toxicity
No
Go: no anti-tumor (ADCC) effects observed and gross mAb-related toxicity
observed
|
Tasks:
|
conduct
in vitro studies to test synergy between ADCC and chemotherapy, produce
antibody for xenograft studies, conduct xenograft studies in a model with
high expression of CD55 (e.g. 791T xenograft model), and possibly in
another model that would allow assessment of Ab toxicity (e.g. C170
xenograft model), if that model is reasonably determined to be
necessary.
|
Deliverables:
|
data
sets on whether antibody mediates ADCC with or without chemotherapy, and
on whether antibody exhibits non-specific binding on human
tissues.
|
Note: Either
the LD79 or most likely the LD86 version of the PB102 antibody will be used,
dependent on an analysis of the current data and discussion with the University
of Nottingham.
