The granting of a sub-license to persons or entities that are not Third Parties is subject to Encysive’s prior written consent. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed granted unless denied in writing within three (3) weeks following receipt of a written request by Revotar accompanied by (i) an accurate statement of the facts why the particular relationship between Revotar and such party is not a relationship between Revotar and a Third Party and (ii) any information which can reasonably be obtained by Revotar and reasonably be expected by Encysive that is necessary to assess the value and character of such transaction between Revotar and the other party (such information being defined as “Value Documentation”), including, but not limited to a copy of the sub-license agreement between Revotar and the other party. For the avoidance of doubt: Revotar shall carry the burden of proof of Encysive’s |

Execution Copy
receipt of such request by Revotar. In case the consent is granted (or deemed to be granted) such sublicensee will be deemed to be a Third-Party Sub-Licensee under this Agreement. Sentences 2, 3 and 4 of this paragraph, including but not limited to the requirement of consent, shall also apply if a Third party ceases to be a Third Party.
(3) | Without prejudice to § 3 (6), Revotar will notify Encysive in writing promptly upon granting a Third Party Sub-License, a license or a transfer of the Revotar Patents or entering into a sales and distribution agreement regarding the Products and provide Encysive with Value Documentation regarding such transaction, including, but not limited to, a copy of the sub-license agreement between Revotar and the Third Party. For the avoidance of doubt, this obligation is not a prerequisite or condition to Revotar’s right to grant the Third Party Sub-License. | |||
(4) | Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement Encysive hereby also grants to Revotar an exclusive, royalty-bearing, non-transferable, worldwide license under the Encysive Know-How to develop, manufacture, use and distribute Products that are covered by at least one claim of any of the Encysive Patents (“Know-How-License”). The Know-How License includes the right to grant sublicenses subject to § 2 (2) and § 2 (3) accordingly. Revotar will use the Encysive Know-How only for the purpose, laid down in this § 2. The Encysive Know-How is to be kept strictly confidential also beyond the expiration or termination of the Know-How-License subject to § 8. With termination for good cause according to § 7 (2) of the Know-How License Revotar is no longer entitled to use or exploit the Encysive Know-How. Without prejudice to § 8, the prohibition to use and exploit the Encysive Know-How shall be effective as long as the Encysive Know-How is secret. Regarding the obligations under this para. (4) Revotar shall bind its sub-licensees accordingly as well as bind them to bind their sub-licensees accordingly. | |||
(5) | Within three (3) months after the date of the signing of this Agreement, at Revotar’s cost, Encysive will provide to Revotar copies of the Encysive Documentation, expressly designating which data is confidential. Revotar shall not be entitled to deny fulfilment of any obligation under this Agreement by arguing that Encysive did not comply with this provision. Upon termination or expiration of the Know-How License Revotar shall return all copies of the Encysive Documentation. If the copies cannot be returned, Revotar must provide written proof of their destruction. |
§ 3
Royalties
(1) | In the event Products are sold by or on behalf of Revotar, Revotar shall — without prejudice to para. (12) — pay to Encysive as a royalty [*] of all Net Sales from |

Products (or — if more favourable to Encysive — [*] on the basis of respective Fair Market Value according to para. (12)). If Net Sales are non-monetary compensation which is non-transferable, including but not limited to non-transferable equity, the [*] royalty to be paid to Encysive shall be made on a basis determined pursuant to para. (12).
(2) | In case Revotar grants a Third Party Sub-License, Revotar shall pay — without prejudice to para. (12) — to Encysive a royalty of [*] on any Net Compensation (or — if more favourable to Encysive — [*] on the basis of respective Fair Market Value according to para. (12)) from such Third Party Sub-License. If Net Compensation is non-monetary compensation which is non-transferable, including but not limited to non-transferable equity, the [*] royalty to be paid to Encysive shall be made on a basis determined pursuant to para. (12). | |||
(3) | In case Revotar grants a license to or transfers Revotar Patents, Revotar shall make — without prejudice to para. (12) — to Encysive a payment of [*] on any Net Compensation (or — if more favourable to Encysive — [*] on the basis of respective Fair Market Value according to para. (12)) from such license or transfer. If Net Compensation is non-monetary compensation which is non-transferable, including but not limited to non-transferable equity, the [*] payment to be paid to Encysive shall be made on a basis determined pursuant to para. (12). | |||
(4) | Any consideration payable to or billed by Revotar for services provided by Revotar — or by a third party designated by Revotar — in connection with the Third Party Sub-License or the license or the transfer of Revotar Patents such as, without limitation, fees for research and development services or marketing services (“Service Compensation”) shall not be part of the Net Compensation, if Encysive — prior to an agreement providing for Service Compensation becoming effective and upon Revotar’s request — has expressly approved the entering into such agreement and has expressly exempted Service Compensation from being included into the Net Compensation (“Service Compensation Approval”). Service Compensation Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by Encysive and shall be deemed granted unless denied in writing within three (3) weeks following receipt of written request by Revotar accompanied by Value Documentation regarding such transaction, including but not limited to, a copy of the respective agreement. For the avoidance of doubt: Revotar shall carry the burden of proof of Encysive’s receipt of such request by Revotar. Encysive is entitled to refuse Service Compensation Approval if there is reasonable doubt that the Service Compensation also contains consideration for the Third Party Sub-License or the license or the transfer of Revotar Patents. |

(5) | Once Encysive has received an aggregate amount of [*] of payments under § 3 of this Agreement, the royalty percentage as set forth in para. (1), (2) and (3) will be automatically increased from [*] to [*]. | |||
Once Encysive has received further payments in the aggregate amount of [*] of payments under § 3 of this Agreement such increased royalty percentage will be automatically reduced from [*] to [*]. | ||||
(6) | Any payments owed to Encysive under this § 3 shall be paid to Encysive at the end of the calendar quarter in which the respective revenue or other compensation has been received by Revotar. Revotar shall at the end of each calendar quarter provide Encysive with a written report, stating any Net Compensation or Net Sales collected by Revotar during that quarter in connection with the License, the Third Party Sub-License or the Products, including but not limited to upfront, milestone or any other royalty payments and/or Net Sales and Deductions, together with a calculation of the applicable royalty payments to Encysive under this § 3. Without prejudice to the foregoing Revotar shall report to Encysive on an annual basis (until every January 31 for the respective previous calendar year) throughout the Term in detail about the status of the Product development, marketing, distribution and any licensing efforts. | |||
(7) | Any payments due to Encysive under this Agreement are net amounts (excluding VAT, other taxes assessed against Revotar as well as other charges) and shall be paid in Euros by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account to be designated by Encysive. | |||
(8) | Revotar hereby assigns to Encysive all claims against any Third Party arising out of any Third Party Sub-License to the extent of the royalty payment obligation due (“Assigned Royalty”). Encysive hereby accepts such assignment. Revotar shall be authorized to collect Assigned Royalties. Encysive reserves the right to revoke such authority and to collect any Assigned Royalty on its own as soon if Revotar fails to meet its payment obligations under § 3 and does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after receipt of a respective notice by Encysive. In the event that Revotar’s authority to collect Assigned Royalties is revoked, Revotar shall, upon Encysive’s request, notify Encysive without delay of any outstanding royalty payments and the respective debtor(s), provide Encysive with all information and documentation required for the collection of any Assigned Royalties and inform such debtor(s) immediately about the assignment. | |||
(9) | Revotar shall keep and maintain for four (4) years after having collected payments triggering any royalty obligations under this § 3 complete and accurate books and records in sufficient detail so that royalty obligations can be properly verified. |

Execution Copy
(10) | Upon written request by Encysive, Revotar shall make such books and records available for inspection, review and audit during normal business hours by Encysive or an authorized representative of Encysive for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of Revotar’s reports and payments to Encysive according to this Agreement. The Parties agree that under normal circumstances inspections shall be carried out no more frequently than once a year. | |||
(11) | Encysive’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such inspection shall be borne by Encysive unless the audit discloses a five percent (5 %) or greater shortfall as compared to the actually reported and paid royalties, in which case Revotar will bear such cost and expenses, provided that such cost and expenses are reasonable. | |||
(12) | The royalties payable to Encysive pursuant to this § 3 shall be — at a minimum — calculated on a basis that amounts to the fair market value of the Products sold, of the Third Party Sub-License and/or of the license or transfer of the Revotar Patents (for each applicable case the “Fair Market Value”). Unless the Parties have agreed on the Fair Market Value, the Fair Market Value shall be determined with binding effect for the Parties (§ 317 German Civil Code) by KPMG, Berlin, upon instruction by Encysive to KPMG pursuant to this para. (12). | |||
If Encysive notifies Revotar in writing within a period of forty-five (45) days (“Notification Period”) upon receipt of the Value Documentation pursuant to § 2 (3) with respect to the grant of a Third Party Sub-License, a license or a transfer of the Revotar Patents or the sale or distribution of Products (respectively upon receipt of the quarterly written report pursuant to § 3 (6) with respect to such sales of Products not covered by sale and distribution agreements notified in the Value Documentation), that the Revotar Consideration does not — in Encysive’s opinion — amount to the Fair Market Value, Encysive is entitled to instruct KPMG to determine the Fair Market Value pursuant to this para. (12) finally and irrefutably, with binding (also, if necessary, retroactive) effect. Revotar shall bear the cost of such determination, unless the Fair Market Value so determined does not exceed the Revotar Consideration by more than ten (10) percent in which case the cost shall be borne by Encysive. | ||||
If Encysive does not notify Revotar within the Notification Period the Revotar Consideration shall be deemed to be at Fair Market Value. For the avoidance of doubt: Revotar carries the burden of proof that Revotar has notified Encysive in accordance with § 2 (3). |
§ 4
Warranty; Exclusion of Liability
(1) | Encysive has filed the Encysive Patents in its own (current or former) name and has paid all necessary maintenance fees to the respective patent offices until the signing of |

(iii) | the feasibility of the inventions patented by the Encysive Patents or of the Encysive Know-How and the fitness for any specific purpose of Encysive Patents or the Encysive Know-How, including, without limitation, the marketability of any Products. | |||
(iv) | the confidentiality of the Encysive Know-How. |
