9.2 ImClone License Grant to CombiChem. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and following the failure of ImClone or its licensee to
develop and commercialize with Due Diligence a Lead Compound, a Development
Compound or Product, as the case may be, (collectively, and together with all
Abandoned Compounds, "Returned Compound"), ImClone shall grant to CombiChem an
exclusive license (exclusive even as to ImClone and its Affiliates), with the
right to sublicense, under those ImClone Patents and know-how which are
resulting from the Research Program and related exclusively to the Returned
Compound to make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold and import such
Returned Compound in the Territory.

of such Payments from its licensee. The Additional Payments described in clause
(b) of the preceding sentence shall be paid to CombiChem within thirty (30) days
following each date (a "Payment Date") upon which any milestone designated in
Appendix B is achieved and/or ImClone receives a payment (as described above)
from its licensee. As an express condition of any such outlicense, any such
licensee shall be required to agree in writing to be bound by royalty reporting
and recordkeeping and inspection provisions consistent with those contained in
this Agreement. In addition, CombiChem shall have the right to receive all audit
reports relating to sales of Products of ImClone's licensees, and to cause
ImClone or its successor to have an independent certified public accounting firm
audit such licensees records on the same terms as those specified in Section
8.6. All payments shall be made by wire transfer to such bank account designated

(the "Contracting Party") shall enter into a binding agreement with a Third
Party to develop, market and/or sell any product containing any Inactive
Compound or Returned Compound as an active ingredient (a "Third Party
Transaction"), then the other Party hereto (the "Other Party") shall be entitled
to *** of *** by the Contracting Party from such Third Party in respect of such
Third Party Transactions. All such payments shall be sent by wire transfer to
such bank account designated by the Other Party within thirty (30) days after
the Contracting Party's receipt of such payments and shall be subject to the
recording and auditing provisions of Section 8.6.
9.5 Miscellaneous License. In addition to any other rights granted by
either Party in accordance with this Article 9, each Party grants to the other
party a non-exclusive license without the right to grant sublicenses, under any
