1.             Background. Sanofi Pasteur and Company intend to engage in discussions regarding a potential business or research relationship between the parties. In the course of such discussions and negotiations, it is anticipated that either party may disclose or deliver to the other party certain of its trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information. As used in this Agreement, the party disclosing Confidential Information (as defined below) is referred to as the "Disclosing Party" and the party receiving such Confidential Information is referred to as the "Receiving Party." The parties have entered into this Agreement in order to assure the confidentiality of such trade secrets and confidential or proprietary information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.             Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" shall mean all scientific, technical, trade or business information of either party, whether disclosed orally or in writing, of a confidential or proprietary nature, including any portion of analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents prepared by the Disclosing Party which contains such information. By way of illustration, but not limitation, Confidential Information may include inventions, know-how, products, processes, methods, techniques, assays, formulas, compositions, compounds, projects, developments, plans, research data, clinical data, financial data, personnel data, computer programs, customer and supplier lists and contacts at or knowledge of customers or prospective customers of Sanofi Pasteur or Company. Confidential Information disclosed in written or other tangible form shall be clearly marked "Confidential," and when disclosed in oral, visual or other forms shall be identified as Confidential Information at the time of disclosure and confirmed in writing as such within 30 days of disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Confidential Information is not reduced to writing within 30 days, the information shall be deemed confidential if it was identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or if the Receiving Party should reasonably have known such information was confidential at the time.

3.             Disclosure of Confidential Information. Except as expressly permitted in this Section, for a period of five (5) years from expiration of the Term (as defined in Section 7 below) or termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall hold in confidence and shall not directly or indirectly disclose, communicate or in any way divulge to any person any Confidential Information, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall (i) use such Confidential Information only for the purposes set forth herein or carrying out any agreement relating to the Confidential Information that is entered into by the parties, (i) only disclose Confidential Information to those of its directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants, and directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants of its Affiliates who have a need to know such Confidential Information in the course of the performance of their duties and who are bound by a written agreement to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, and (ii) protect the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall not use or exploit such Confidential Information for its own benefit or the benefit of another without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall not provide or grant access to the Confidential Information to any third party, except Sanofi Pasteur may disclose Confidential Information received by it under this Agreement to the U.S. Government for regulatory or evaluation purposes in accordance with Section 4(e) hereof. As used herein, "Affiliates" shall mean any corporation or other entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a party hereto.

4.          

Limitation on Obligations. The obligations of the Receiving Party specified in Section 3 above shall not apply, and the Receiving Party shall have no further obligations, with respect to any Confidential Information to the extent the Receiving Party can demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, that such Confidential Information:

(a) was known or used by the Receiving Party prior to the date of disclosure to the Receiving Party, as evidenced by the prior written records of the Receiving Party; or

(b) either before or after the date of disclosure to the Receiving Party, is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party by an independent, unaffiliated third party rightfully in possession of the Confidential Information;

(c) either before or after the date of disclosure to the Receiving Party, becomes published or generally known to the public through no fault or omission on the part of the Receiving Party, but such inapplicability applies only after such information is published or becomes generally known;

(d) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reliance on the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or

(e) is required to be disclosed by the Receiving Party to comply with applicable laws or to comply with govemmental regulations; provided, the Receiving Party agrees to (i) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request prior to any disclosure occurring so that the Disclosing Party may, with the Receiving Party's full cooperation, seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive the Receiving Party's compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (i) if disclosure of such information is required, disclose only that portion of any requested information which the Receiving Party is absolutely required to disclose and cooperate with the Disclosing Party in its efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to information that is disclosed.

5.          

Equitable Relief. The Receiving Party agrees that any breach of this Agreement may cause the Disclosing Party substantial and irreparable damages and, therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to other remedies which may be available, the Disclosing Party shall have the right to seek specific performance and other injunctive and equitable relief.

6.          

Ownership of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party agrees that the Disclosing Party (or any third party entrusting its own confidential information to the Disclosing Party) is and shall remain the exclusive owner of the Confidential Information disclosed to the Receiving Party and all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property rights in such Confidential Information or arising therefrom. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no option, license, or conveyance of such rights to the Receiving Party is granted or implied under this Agreement.

7.          

Use of Confidential Information. Company acknowledges that Sanofi Pasteur has an interest in technologies related to therapeutic and prophylactic vaccines and that Sanofi Pasteur may have in its possession or may acquire in the future confidential information of its own or belonging to third parties relating to such technologies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Sanofi Pasteur from using any such information of its own or from third parties for any purpose. Furthermore, nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Sanofi Pasteur from using Confidential Information received from Company for the purpose of comparing Company's technology to other technologies, provided that Sanofi Pasteur complies with the obligations of non-disclosure contained herein.

8.          

Term and Termination. Unless earlier terminated as set forth below, this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of five years (the 'Term"). This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 60 days notice to the other party provided however, the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information as set forth in Section 3 shall survive any such termination.

9.          

Return of Documents. The Receiving Party shall upon the request of the Disclosing Party, return to the Disclosing Party or destroy and certify to Disclosing Party in writing the destruction of all drawings, documents and other tangible manifestations of Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party pursuant to this Agreement (and all copies and reproductions thereof) and shall not retain any copies,
