2. Software License to PDD.

2.1. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Pharmacopeia Group hereby grants, and PDD accepts for the Software License Term, a worldwide, paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable (subject to Section 2.2), nontransferable (with no right to sublicense) and non-exclusive license to use the Software for the sole purpose of processing the work of PDD’s Internal Business.

a. PDD may only use the Software at the specific location(s) at which the Software currently is utilized or to which the Software is subsequently delivered.

b. For host-locked licenses, PDD may use the Software only on the central processing unit (the “Licensed CPU”) originally designated for installation or as agreed to by the relevant member of Pharmacopeia Group, and only at the specific location at which the Software is currently utilized or to which the Software is subsequently delivered. For floating licenses, the Software may be accessed by any computer that is commercially supported by PDD and within PDD’s authorized network at the specific location at which the Software is currently utilized or to which the Software is subsequently delivered.

c. The Software may be used simultaneously by no more than the maximum number of Users set forth on Exhibit B, and may not be electronically or otherwise transferred to a different physical location.

i. If, during the License Term, PDD desires to use the Software for additional simultaneous Users, at another site, or on a different Licensed CPU (for host-locked licenses), PDD shall secure the prior approval of the relevant member of the Pharmacopeia Group, which will not be unreasonably withheld but which will be conditioned upon payment by PDD of the Pharmacopeia Group’s then-current license fees for such additional Users, additional site or different Licensed CPU.

ii. If, after the expiration or termination of the License Term, PDD desires to use the Software for additional simultaneous users, at another site, or on a different Licensed CPU (for host-locked licenses), PDD shall secure the prior approval of the relevant member of the Pharmacopeia Group, which may be granted subject to additional charges.

2.2. License Term. The license granted in Section 2.1 shall be in effect for the Software License Term, unless earlier terminated by one of the parties as set forth in Section 8.2 or 8.4, or extended by mutual written agreement of the parties.

2.3. Software Ownership. The Software, documentation, and supporting materials and all worldwide intellectual property rights therein are the sole and exclusive property of the

Pharmacopeia Group and its licensors or suppliers. Except to the limited extent required for PDD to use the Software pursuant to the license granted in Section 2.1, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to grant, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, a license in any existing or future patents of the Pharmacopeia Group. No title or ownership rights to the Software are transferred to PDD by this Agreement, but shall remain with the Pharmacopeia Group and/or its licensors or suppliers. All rights not expressly granted by the Pharmacopeia Group with respect to the Software under this Agreement are reserved by the Pharmacopeia Group.

2.4. Software Maintenance.

a. During the Software License Term, the Pharmacopeia Group will provide maintenance services that include both Update Service and Hotline Support as described in this Section 2.4.a.i and 2.4.a.ii at no additional cost or expense to PDD.

For clarity, installation, implementation, integration or similar services do not fall within the maintenance services to be provided by the Pharmacopeia Group under this Agreement. Should PDD require such services, these may be available subject to payment of the Pharmacopeia Group’s then-standard fees for such services and execution of the Pharmacopeia Group’s then-standard terms and conditions for such services.

b. After the Software License Term, upon payment of the applicable maintenance fee by PDD, maintenance services will be provided under the Pharmacopeia Group’s standard commercial terms for customers using the Software for twelve-month periods unless terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice prior to the renewal date. Annual maintenance fees are payable in advance on the anniversary date of the order.

2.5. Non-Disclosure; Alterations; Copies.

a. PDD acknowledges and agrees that the Software, its structure, organization, source code and related documentation are valuable and proprietary trade secrets of the Pharmacopeia Group. PDD shall (i) maintain the confidentiality of the Software, using, at a minimum, the same safeguards afforded its own confidential, proprietary trade secrets, but in no event less than reasonable care; (ii) not disclose, provide, transfer, rent, sublicense, or otherwise make available any portion of the Software to any third party, without first obtaining the written approval of the relevant member of the Pharmacopeia’s Group.

to information now or hereafter in the public domain through no fault of PDD, information in the possession of PDD prior to disclosure by the Pharmacopeia Group, information properly obtained without restriction from a third party who is not bound by an obligation of confidentiality to the Pharmacopeia Group, or information independently developed by PDD without reference to the Software.

b. PDD acknowledges any actual or threatened breach of the obligations of confidentiality set forth in Section 2.5.a will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to the Pharmacopeia Group for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that the Pharmacopeia Group may, in addition to any other remedy under this Agreement, seek injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief as remedy for such breach.

c. PDD shall not alter, modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works from the Software, nor take any other steps intended to produce a source language statement of the Software or any part thereof without the express prior written consent of the relevant member of the Pharmacopeia Group.

8. Term and Termination.

8.1. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and continues until the termination or expiration of the last to terminate or expire of the Licensed Patents. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.2 or Section 8.4, the license granted in Section 3.4.a shall terminate upon the expiration of the last to expire PDD Patent.

8.2. The Pharmacopeia Group has the right to terminate a license granted in Sections 2.1, 3.1.a, or 4.2 of this Agreement if PDD breaches any material provision of this Agreement with respect to such particular license and fails to remedy such breach within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice of such breach. This right of termination, however, cannot be exercised if at any time during said time period, PDD advises the Pharmacopeia Group that it challenges the alleged breach. In such event, PDD and the Pharmacopeia Group will negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputed breach.

8.3. PDD has the right to terminate a license granted under Section 3.4.a of this Agreement if the Pharmacopeia Group breaches any material provision of this Agreement with respect to such license and fails to remedy such breach within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice of such breach.

authorize any of the foregoing or similar actions by or against any such Pharmacopeia Group member or PDD, all rights and licenses granted hereunder are and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for the purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. 365(n)), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(52) of the Bankruptcy Code.

8.5. Termination or expiration of this Agreement does not release PDD or the Pharmacopeia Group from any obligation theretofore accrued.

8.6. Upon any termination or expiration of any license right granted under Section 2.1, PDD shall make no further use of that portion of the Software subject to such license right and shall either return to the Pharmacopeia Group or destroy originals and all copies of the Software and supporting materials subject to such license right. PDD shall supply a written affidavit executed by an officer of PDD to the Pharmacopeia Group certifying that it no longer possesses any embodiments of the Software or supporting materials subject to such license right.
