mesenchymal stem cell technology to OSIRIS, according to the terms and
conditions set forth below. This state-of-the-art includes patents and know-
how. Future. patents based on
this know-how will be made in the name of CWRU and will be covered by the
royalty agreement stated herein If substantially invented at CWRU in the
future.
AGREEMENT
ARTICLE I: LICENSE
1.1 Grant and Subject Matter. CWRU grants OSIRIS a sole and exclusive
worldwide License, under Technology, Existing Patent Rights (to the extent not
owned by OSIRIS) and Developed Patent Rights ("License") to make, have made,
use and sell Product and Process (terms defined in Section 10), including the
right to grant sublicenses.
1.2 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be in full force and effect
from the date first set forth above and shall remain in effect for twenty-five
(25) years or until all patents Issued in all countries in accordance with this
License hereunder have expired or until otherwise terminated by operation of

in connection with, the prosecution of the Existing Patent Rights. CWRU shall
cooperate with OSIRIS with respect to such prosecutions.
3.2 New Applications. CWRU shall own all Developed Patent Rights. In
the event either party hereto believes a patent application should be filed
with respect to the Technology, such party shall notify the other party hereto.
If OSIRIS fails to file such application within sixty (60) days after the date
of such notice, CWRU shall have the right to file the application in its own
name, at its own expense; provided, however, that CWRU's application must be
filed within six (6) months after the expiration of OSIRIS' sixty (60) day
filing period.
If CWRU does not file within such six-month period, CWRU must give a new
notice to OSIRIS, and the process described above must be repeated in its

Section 3.2 above shall keep the other informed in a timely manner of the
status of the application.
3.6 Infringement. Each party shall promptly notify the other party if
it becomes aware of any infringement of any patents licensed as part of this
Agreement. Neither OSIRIS nor CWRU shall have any obligation to Initiate
litigation to protect any patent or proprietary right granted under this
Agreement. However, each party will have the unqualified right to Initiate
legal action, or to fully participate in any legal action Initiated by the
other party, to protect its interests. In any litigation, each party and
their respective attorneys will cooperate with the other party. If OSIRIS
elects to institute suit against any third party to protect any patent or
proprietary rights granted under this Agreement, fifty percent (50%) of
associated costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which have been paid
by OSIRIS may be offset against royalties owed to CWRU pursuant to Article
VI, but such offsetting shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the total
royalties owed to CWRU. All damages awarded in any suit will belong
exclusively to the party Initiating the suit, except that
the amounts offset pursuant to this Section 3.6 will be reimbursed to CWRU
from damages awarded to OSIRIS after OSIRIS's own legal costs have been
reimbursed.
3.7 In the event that litigation against OSIRIS is Initiated by a third-
party charging OSIRIS with Infringement of a patent of the third party as a
result of the manufacture, use or sale by OSIRIS of Product or Process for
which royalties are due to CWRU hereunder, OSIRIS shall promptly notify CWRU
in writing thereof. OSIRIS's costs as to any such defense shall be creditable
against any and all payments due and payable to CWRU under Article VI of this
Agreement but no royalty payment after taking into consideration any such
credit shall be reduced by more than 50%.

party claiming such conditions as an excuse for delaying performance will give
prompt written notice of the conditions, and its intent to delay performance,
to the other party and will resume its performance as soon as performance Is
possible.
7.4 Effect of Termination. OSIRIS' License shall terminate
simultaneously with any termination of this Agreement. Except as provided in
