Development Work to be performed by CENTAUR hereunder shall not be more
than Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000.00) annually for each of R&D Periods
one through five, unless such sum is increased by ASTRA in its sole
discretion or decreased pursuant to Section 20.4 (the "ANNUAL FUNDING").
5.5 CENTAUR'S RECORDS. CENTAUR shall keep accurate records of the number of
-----------------
CENTAUR FTEs that perform Project Work and Out-of-Pocket Research Costs
expended by CENTAUR for the latest three (3) R&D Periods. ASTRA shall have

public accountant reasonably acceptable to CENTAUR, review and audit such
records, upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours, for the
purpose of verifying the number of CENTAUR FTEs that performed Project
Work and the expenditure of Out-of-Pocket Research Costs. If such review
and audit reflects an overpayment to CENTAUR, CENTAUR shall promptly remit
such overpayment to ASTRA, together with reasonable interest. If the
overpayment is equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the Annual
-12-
Funding made by ASTRA to CENTAUR for such R&D Period(s), for which the
review and audit has been undertaken, CENTAUR shall reimburse ASTRA for
all costs of such review and audit.

6.4 DEVELOPMENT OF LICENSED PRODUCT - MAJOR MARKETS. Following successful
-----------------------------------------------
completion of the Research Work for a respective Project, ASTRA agrees,
for each Project, to use best reasonable efforts, including providing
adequate resources and qualified personnel, to undertake Development Work
for at least one Licensed Product to secure marketing approval for such
Licensed Product for at least the Major Markets. In such regard, ASTRA
shall:
(a) NDA APPROVAL. File for NDA approval in each of the Major Market
------------
countries within twelve (12) months following completion of all
required clinical trials and other studies in each relevant country,
(b) FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE. Make the First Commercial Sale and commence
---------------------
regular commercial sales of each Licensed Product in each country of
the Major Markets as promptly as practicable, but within nine (9)
months after receipt of NDA and such other approvals and permits as
ASTRA deems reasonably necessary to successfully commercialize the
Licensed Product in the relevant Major Markets (i.a. government
----
reimbursement or price approval).
-13-
Notwithstanding the time limits set forth in Section 6.4(a) or 6.4(b), such
limits shall be extended (i) to account for any period during which ASTRA
encounters technical or regulatory delays which prevent ASTRA's compliance
with such time limits, provided that ASTRA informs CENTAUR on an ongoing
basis of such delays, which delays have not resulted from ASTRA's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, and (ii) for other commercial reasons
which ASTRA and CENTAUR reasonably believe will benefit long-term commercial
sales of such Licensed Product.
6.5 DEVELOPMENT OF LICENSED PRODUCT - OTHER THAN MAJOR MARKETS. Following
----------------------------------------------------------
successful commercial sale of Licensed Product in any of the Major Markets,
ASTRA agrees to use best reasonable efforts to make the First Commercial
Sale and commence regular commercial sales of each Licensed Product in each
country of the world, other than the Major Markets. ASTRA and CENTAUR will
confer with respect to such countries where sales and marketing of Licensed
Product is not warranted as a result of economies of scale.
6.6 ASTRA NON-COMPLIANCE. In the event ASTRA fails to comply with Section 6.4
--------------------
(a), 6.4(b) or 6.5, and CENTAUR provides a written notice to ASTRA of such
failure, ASTRA shall, within sixty (60) days of ASTRA's receipt of such
notice from CENTAUR, provide CENTAUR with a plan reasonably acceptable to
CENTAUR of ASTRA's proposal to remedy such failure within a time period not
to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of CENTAUR's receipt
of such plan. In the event ASTRA shall fail to (i) provide CENTAUR with such
a plan within such 60-day period, or (ii) cure such failure with respect to
ASTRA's obligations pursuant to Section 6.4(a), 6.4(b) or 6.5 within one
hundred eighty (180) days, in accordance with such plan, such failure shall
not be deemed a breach or Default by ASTRA of this License Agreement and
CENTAUR's sole and exclusive remedy thereupon shall be the right to notify
ASTRA within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter of CENTAUR's intent to
terminate the ASTRA License with regard to the relevant country and Licensed
Product for which ASTRA has failed to comply with respect to Section 6.4(a),
6.4(b) or 6.5. In such event, ASTRA shall allow CENTAUR or its nominee to

shall not be unreasonably withheld.
11.2 USE OF OTHER PARTY'S NAME. Unless as required by law and/or applicable
-------------------------
government regulation, neither party will use the name of the other party,
nor of any member of such party's staff, in any publicity, advertising, or
news release without the prior written approval of an authorized
representative of such party.
12. MARKETING OF LICENSED PRODUCT
-----------------------------
12.1 ASTRA'S COMMERCIALIZATION OF LICENSED PRODUCT. ASTRA agrees to use its
---------------------------------------------
best reasonable efforts to commercialize any Licensed Product successfully
developed hereunder, and will keep CENTAUR continuously informed with
respect to such
-23-
commercialization period.
12.2 LABELING. Unless otherwise prohibited by regulatory authority, Licensed
--------
Product(s) or the packaging in which they are contained shall bear the
label "Manufactured under license from Centaur Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 000
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, USA", or any similar wording as may
be mutually agreed upon by the parties.
13. INVENTION, IMPROVEMENTS AND DISCOVERIES
---------------------------------------
13.1 OWNERSHIP OF TECHNOLOGY. The parties shall keep each other apprised on
-----------------------
the development of patentable and other inventions in the Field. Each party
shall retain sole title to any technology, know-how, inventions, concepts,
processes and the like (whether or not patentable) which it develops
solely. Except as provided in this License Agreement, neither party shall
have any right to use or license technology to which the other party has
sole title. Each party shall own a fifty percent (50%) undivided interest
in all technology, know-how, inventions, concepts, processes and the like
(whether or not patentable) made, conceived, reduced to practice or
generated jointly in connection with the Project Work by (i) one party
and/or Third Persons obligated to assign their rights therein to such
party, and (ii) the other party and/or Third Persons obligated to assign
their rights therein to such other party (collectively the "JOINT PROJECT
TECHNOLOGY"). Such Joint Project Technology, to the extent in the Field,
shall be used by each party exclusively within the context of this License
Agreement and the Supply Agreement, provided, however, either party may use
such Joint Project Technology outside the Field, as such party deems
appropriate.
14. PATENTS AND PATENT APPLICATIONS
-------------------------------
14.1 MAINTENANCE OF CENTAUR PATENTS. CENTAUR shall diligently prosecute and
------------------------------
maintain, at CENTAUR's sole cost and expense, the CENTAUR Patents unless,
with regard to one or more patents comprising the CENTAUR Patents, the
parties agree that such is not necessary or commercially advisable. If
CENTAUR fails to diligently prosecute, maintain and defend the CENTAUR
Patents, ASTRA may (but shall not be obligated to), upon notice to CENTAUR,
undertake such prosecution, maintenance and defense of the CENTAUR Patents,
and all costs incurred by ASTRA in such regard may be deducted from Net
Sales royalty payable to CENTAUR hereunder from countries where such
Centaur patents are being prosecuted and maintained over a three (3) year
period.
14.2 CENTAUR NEW INVENTIONS PATENTS. If ASTRA, in its sole discretion, and
------------------------------
following
-24-
consultation with CENTAUR, determines that any invention of CENTAUR in the
Field, developed solely by CENTAUR (as opposed to Joint Patents) not
already covered by the CENTAUR Patents in one or more countries, is
patentable (the "NEW INVENTIONS PATENTS"), CENTAUR shall, upon notice from
ASTRA, promptly prepare, file, and prosecute in CENTAUR's name patent
application(s) and/or any related continuation, continuation-in-part,
divisional, and/or reissue application(s) thereof, with respect to such
invention in such countries as selected by ASTRA. ASTRA shall reimburse
CENTAUR for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the
above preparation, filing, and prosecution of application(s) and
maintenance of New Inventions Patents directed to such inventions in the
countries chosen by ASTRA. ASTRA shall cooperate with CENTAUR to assure
that such application(s) and any related continuation, continuation-in-
part, divisional, and/or reissue applications(s) thereof, will cover, to
the best of ASTRA's knowledge, all items of commercial interest and
importance and ASTRA shall have the right, through ASTRA's patent attorneys
and/or agents, to advise and cooperate with CENTAUR's patent attorneys in
the prosecution of such patent applications. In the event CENTAUR shall
fail to prepare, file and prosecute any New Inventions Patents, ASTRA may
(but shall not be obligated to) undertake such preparation, filing and
prosecution of the New Inventions Patents in CENTAUR's name, at ASTRA's
sole cost and expense.
14.3 JOINT PATENTS. If ASTRA, in its sole discretion and following
-------------
consultation with CENTAUR, determines that any invention made jointly by
the parties (a "JOINT PATENT") is patentable, ASTRA shall, at its expense
and discretion, promptly prepare, file and prosecute in both parties' names
patent application(s) and/or any related continuation, continuation-in-
part, divisional, and/or reissue application(s) thereof, in the United
States and in such foreign countries selected by ASTRA, with respect to
such joint invention. CENTAUR shall have the right, through CENTAUR's
patent attorneys and/or agents, to advise and cooperate with ASTRA's patent
attorneys in the prosecution of such patent applications. ASTRA and CENTAUR
agree to use all Joint Patents exclusively within the context of this
License Agreement. Should the inventions, improvements and/or discoveries
referred to in Section 14.3 fall within the definition of Know-How or if
same are patentable, then they shall be used exclusively within the context
of this License Agreement and the Supply Agreement if within the Field.
Either party may use such inventions, improvements and/or discoveries which
are outside the Field, whether or not patentable, as such party may deem
appropriate.
(a) JOINT PATENT - ASTRA DEFAULT OR BANKRUPTCY. In the event this
------------------------------------------
License Agreement is terminated as a result of a Default or
Bankruptcy by ASTRA, then such joint inventions, improvements and/or
discoveries whether existing as Know-How or as a patent application
or patent, and ASTRA's interests in the Joint Patents will be
automatically exclusively licensed, royalty-free, to
-25-
CENTAUR to develop, use, market, distribute and sell Licensed
Product(s) worldwide in the Field. In addition, should this License
Agreement be terminated with respect to only one of the Projects in
accordance with Section 20.4, then such inventions, improvements
and/or discoveries related to the terminated Project as well as
ASTRA's interests in the Joint Patents related to the terminated
Project will be automatically exclusively licensed in the Field to
CENTAUR, royalty-free.
(b) JOINT PATENT - CENTAUR DEFAULT OR BANKRUPTCY. In the event this
--------------------------------------------
License Agreement is terminated as a result of a Default or
Bankruptcy by CENTAUR, then such joint inventions, improvements
and/or discoveries whether existing as Know-How or as a patent
application or patent, and CENTAUR's interests in the Joint Patents
will be automatically exclusively licensed to ASTRA to develop, use,
market, distribute and sell Licensed Product(s) worldwide in the
Field, subject to the royalty obligations provided herein.
14.4 NOTIFICATION WITH RESPECT TO PATENTS. Each party shall keep the other
------------------------------------
advised as to all developments with respect to any patent application(s)
referred to in this Section 14, and shall promptly supply to the other
copies of relevant papers received and filed by it in connection with the
prosecution thereof in sufficient time for such party to comment thereon.
The parties shall reasonably cooperate and assist each other in the patent
prosecution provided for in this Section 14.
14.5 CENTAUR'S ELECTION. If ASTRA elects, with regard to CENTAUR Patents, New
------------------
Inventions Patents, or Joint Patents not to have CENTAUR seek or maintain
patent protection in one or more countries, CENTAUR will have the right, at
CENTAUR's sole expense and discretion, to file, procure, maintain and
enforce such patents in such countries and ASTRA will cooperate fully. The
parties agree that should CENTAUR exercise said right it will not in any
way affect the ASTRA License granted hereunder other than should ASTRA or
its sublicensees later sell a Licensed Product, the sale of which would
infringe such patent procured by CENTAUR at its own expense, ASTRA will
reimburse CENTAUR for its patent out-of-pocket expenses, plus twenty
percent (20%) thereof related to the relevant country or countries. ASTRA
agrees to advise CENTAUR in a timely manner of any decision not to continue
to seek or maintain, or have CENTAUR continue to seek, or to maintain
patent protection with respect to CENTAUR Patents, New Inventions Patents
or Joint Patents in one or more countries in order to allow CENTAUR the
timely exercise of its rights under this Section 14.5.
14.6 ASTRA'S ELECTION. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.2, New
----------------
Inventions Patents and New Chemical Entity Patents shall not be deemed to
be "CENTAUR
-26-
Patents" for purposes of determining the period during which ASTRA shall
pay royalty to CENTAUR on Net Sales of Licensed Product pursuant to Section
7.5, unless (i) ASTRA's manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Product in a
particular country would infringe such New Inventions Patents or New
Chemical Entity Patents, or (ii) ASTRA shall, in ASTRA's sole discretion,
agree that such New Inventions Patents and/or New Chemical Entity Patents
shall be deemed to be "CENTAUR Patents" for purposes of Section 7.5.
14.7 MINIMUM PATENT PROTECTION. Unless extraordinary circumstances require
-------------------------
otherwise, patent protection is to be sought and upheld on inventions
falling under the license herein granted in at least the countries in which
ASTRA Affiliates are established.
15. PATENT INFRINGEMENTS
--------------------
15.1 NOTIFICATION OF ALLEGED PATENT INFRINGEMENT. If a third party notifies
-------------------------------------------
CENTAUR, ASTRA or its sublicensees that any act by either party allegedly
infringes any patent owned by the third party or any patent rights owned by
or licensed to the third party, CENTAUR or ASTRA, as the case may be, shall
promptly notify the other in writing.
15.2 THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. In the event of a third party claim that the exercise
------------------
of the ASTRA License with respect to the manufacture, sale or other use of
Licensed Product infringes any patent of such third party (a "THIRD PARTY
CLAIM"), CENTAUR shall consult with ASTRA and with respect to such Third
Party Claim, CENTAUR shall (i) undertake, at CENTAUR's sole cost and
expense, defense of such Third Party Claim, or (ii) request ASTRA to
undertake such defense, at ASTRA's sole cost and expense. Neither ASTRA nor
CENTAUR shall settle any Third Party Claim, including an agreement to pay
Third Party Royalties, without the reasonable approval of the other party.
If ASTRA shall, at ASTRA's sole cost and expense, undertake to defend such
Third Party Claim, fifty percent (50%) of all costs and expenses incurred
by ASTRA, including, without limitation, expert witness and attorneys'
fees, and such damages payable to any third party (other than Third Party
Royalties) shall be deducted from Net Sales royalties payable to CENTAUR
hereunder from countries where such Third Party Claim claims infringement,
over a three (3) year period.
15.3 PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL THIRD PARTY ROYALTIES. Should ASTRA or its
-------------------------------------------
sublicensees obtain one or more licenses under any patent not licensed
hereunder and agree to pay Third Party Royalties in order to make, use or
sell a Licensed Product (whether as a condition of settlement of an
infringement action or by court order), the Net Sales royalties payable to
CENTAUR hereunder shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) of such Third
Party Royalties as set forth in Section 7.6.
-27-
15.4 INFRINGEMENT OF CENTAUR PATENTS/JOINT PATENTS/NEW INVENTIONS PATENTS. If
--------------------------------------------------------------------
a third party shall, in the reasonable opinion of either party, infringe
any CENTAUR Patent, Joint Patent or New Inventions Patents, then such party
shall promptly notify the other party. ASTRA or its sublicensees shall have
the initial sole right to commence an action for infringement against the
third party, in its own name and/or in the name of CENTAUR, together with
the right to enforce and collect any judgment thereon. If ASTRA or its
sublicensee elects to exercise the right to commence an action, then
CENTAUR shall, at ASTRA's request and at ASTRA's expense, assist in the
prosecution of such action, including, but not limited to, consenting to
being joined in such action as a voluntary plaintiff. ASTRA shall bear its
own internal and external legal and other costs and expenses associated
with the prosecution of the action. CENTAUR shall have the right to
independently retain legal counsel and consultants, at CENTAUR's sole cost
and expense, but such counsel or consultants shall not have the right to
affect ASTRA's or its sublicensee(s) sole management of the prosecution of
the action.
15.5 MONETARY RECOVERY - ASTRA PROSECUTION. Any monetary recovery (whether by
-------------------------------------
settlement or judgment) in connection with an infringement action commenced
by ASTRA or ASTRA's sublicensees shall be applied first to reimburse ASTRA
and its sublicensees, if applicable, for their out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in prosecuting such action
and the expenses of CENTAUR borne by ASTRA hereunder. Any balance remaining
shall be shared in the ratio of 80:20 (ASTRA:CENTAUR, respectively).
15.6 MONETARY RECOVERY - CENTAUR PROSECUTION. Should neither ASTRA, its
---------------------------------------
Affiliates nor its sublicensees take appropriate and diligent action with
respect to any such infringement within three (3) months after receiving
notice of any infringement or possible infringement of a CENTAUR Patent,
Joint Patent or New Inventions Patents, CENTAUR shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to take such action, at its own expense, in its own
name, and the right to enforce and collect any judgment thereon. If the
recovery exceeds CENTAUR's out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) for prosecuting the claim, then such excess recovery shall
be shared by the parties in the ratio of 80:20 (CENTAUR:ASTRA,
respectively).
16. CONFIDENTIALITY
---------------
16.1 TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIALITY. A party receiving Confidential Information
----------------------------
of the other party shall maintain such Confidential Information in strict
confidence and shall not disclose the Confidential Information to any third
party. Furthermore, neither party shall use the Confidential Information
for any purpose other than those purposes specified in
-28-
this License Agreement. The parties may disclose Confidential Information
to the minimum number of its employees reasonably requiring access thereto
for the purposes of this License Agreement, provided, however, that prior
to making such disclosures, each such employee shall be apprised of the
duty and obligation to maintain Confidential Information in confidence and
not to use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this License Agreement.
16.2 RELEASE FROM RESTRICTIONS. The provisions of Section 16.1 shall not apply
-------------------------
to any Confidential Information disclosed hereunder which is required to be
disclosed by the receiving party to comply with applicable laws, or to
comply with laws or regulations (including, without limitation, testing and
marketing regulations), in each case only to the extent required to carry
out the work contemplated by this License Agreement or other legal
obligations provided that the receiving party provides prior written notice
of such disclosure to the other party and takes reasonable and lawful
actions to avoid and/or minimize the degree of such disclosure.
17. TRADEMARK
---------
ASTRA shall market, distribute and sell Licensed Product under trademarks
selected and owned by ASTRA and to which CENTAUR shall have no reasonable
objections.
18. EXCLUSIVITY AND OPTION TO EXTEND THE LICENSE
--------------------------------------------
18.1 RESTRICTIONS. During the Term of this License Agreement and the Supply
------------
Agreement (i) neither party shall sell any products or provide any service
in the Field other than Licensed Product, or conduct any research alone
(excepting as provided in this Section 18.1), or with third parties or fund
research by third parties in the Field, except research conducted pursuant
to the Research Program, and (ii) CENTAUR shall not grant any license or
sublicense in the Field of (w) CENTAUR Technology, (x) Product Know-How,
(y) the CENTAUR Licenses in the Field, or (z) any right which would
materially adversely affect ASTRA's use and enjoyment of the ASTRA License,
and (iii) ASTRA will not grant any license or sublicense of any right which
would materially, adversely affect CENTAUR's use and enjoyment of the
CENTAUR Grant in the Field. The foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit
either party from conducting research, either alone or with third parties,
that has applicability outside the Field, notwithstanding that such
research may also have utility in the Field. CENTAUR further acknowledges
that ASTRA has, and may continue to undertake research, development and
marketing of products outside the Field which may have indications for use
comparable to Licensed Product.
-29-
18.2 ASTRA RIGHT OF FIRST NEGOTIATION. ASTRA acknowledges that CENTAUR may
--------------------------------
undertake research, development and marketing of products outside the Field
which may have indications for use comparable to Licensed Product.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, CENTAUR will not enter into any agreement or
collaboration with any third party with respect to the development,
manufacture or sale of any substance or product outside the Field, but
falling within ASTRA's strategic research areas and/or such other research
areas of interest to ASTRA as set forth on Appendix 4 hereof, and as the
----------
same may be modified from time to time by ASTRA in writing, without, in the
first instance, CENTAUR providing ASTRA by written notice with a right of
first negotiation with CENTAUR. ASTRA shall, within sixty (60) days of
written notification from CENTAUR, either (i) waive such right of first
negotiation, or (ii) enter into discussions with CENTAUR in which the
parties shall diligently and in good faith seek to agree upon the terms and
conditions of such agreement and/or collaboration. Should the parties not
reach agreement within one hundred twenty (120) days (which period may be
extended by mutual agreement of the parties), CENTAUR shall be free to
enter into negotiations and/or agreements or collaborations with third
parties.
19. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

19.1 DISCLAIMER BY PARTIES. Other than with respect to the provisions of this
---------------------
License Agreement and the Supply Agreement, nothing in this License

------------------
any licenses under (i) patents of CENTAUR other than the CENTAUR
Patents, and (ii) the CENTAUR Patents and Know- How outside the
Field. Except as expressly set forth in this License Agreement
and/or the Supply Agreement, CENTAUR makes no representations and
extends no warranties of any kind, either express or implied. There
are no express or implied warranties of merchantability or fitness
for a particular purpose, or that the use of the Licensed Product
will not infringe any third party patent, copyright, trademark or

20. TERM AND TERMINATION
--------------------
20.1 TERM. The Term of this License Agreement (the "TERM") shall commence as of
----
the Effective Date. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 20.2, 20.3
or 20.4, the Term shall expire at such time as ASTRA shall have no further
obligation to make payments to CENTAUR on Net Sales of Licensed Product
pursuant to Section 7.5.
20.2 DEFAULT. Other than as provided in Section 6.6, failure by either party to
-------
comply with any of its material obligations contained in this License
Agreement following notice and opportunity to cure, as hereinafter provided
(a "DEFAULT") shall entitle the other party to terminate this License
Agreement. The non-defaulting party shall give the other party notice
specifying the nature of the breach of this License Agreement and requiring
it to cure. If such breach is not cured within ninety (90) days after the
receipt of such notice (or one hundred twenty (120) days in event such
breach cannot be reasonably expected to be cured within ninety (90) days,
and the defaulting party gives notice to the other party of its inability
to cure such breach within a 90-day period and the defaulting party
thereafter uses reasonable efforts to cure such breach as soon as
practicable, but in no event longer than one hundred twenty (120) days),
the notifying party shall be entitled, without prejudice to any of its
other rights under this License Agreement, and in addition to any other
remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this License
Agreement by giving notice to that effect to the defaulting party. The
right of either party to terminate this License Agreement, as hereinabove
provided, shall not be affected in any way by its waiver or failure to take
action with respect to any previous Default.
-31-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and other than as provided in Section 20.3
and 20.4, a party shall not have a right to terminate this License
Agreement in the event the other party pursuant to Section 22 has sought to
resolve the dispute for which termination is being sought.
20.3 INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY. Either party may, in addition to any other
------------------------
remedies available to it by law or in equity, terminate this License
Agreement by written notice to the other party in the event (i) the other
party shall have become insolvent or bankrupt, or shall have made an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (ii) there shall have been
appointed a trustee or receiver of the other party or for all or a
substantial part of its property, or (iii) any case or proceeding shall
have been commenced or some other action taken by or against the other
party in bankruptcy or seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution,
winding-up, arrangement, composition or readjustment of its debts or any
other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar act or law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect or there
shall have been issued a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or
similar process against any substantial part of the property of the other
party, and any such event or action (except where a party voluntarily takes
such actions (e.g., where a party makes a bankruptcy filing)) shall have
----
continued for ninety (90) days undismissed, unbounded and undischarged
(alternatively a "BANKRUPTCY"); provided, however, that no such right to
terminate shall pertain solely by virtue of a voluntary reorganization for
the purpose of solvent amalgamation or reconstruction.
20.4 SPECIAL TERMINATION PROVISIONS. ASTRA shall have the right to terminate
------------------------------
this License Agreement partially or entirely with respect to a specific
Project, at any time, for any reason, upon twelve (12) months' prior notice
to CENTAUR following the second R&D Period, provided, however, that ASTRA
may terminate this License Agreement with respect to a specific indication
for use of SP at any time, for any reason upon twelve (12) months' prior
notice to CENTAUR, although the Annual Funding shall remain the same.
Should a specific Project (i.e., either SP or AP) be terminated, while the
other Project remains, research funds will be reallocated to the remaining
Project (or to a substitute project if such is mutually agreed upon by the
parties) but at a reduced minimum Annual Funding of [*], as adjusted in
accordance with Section 5. If this License Agreement is terminated with
respect to only one of the Projects, the scope of the Field and other terms
of this License Agreement shall be modified accordingly, including that all
rights with regard to such Project or such indication or use with respect
to SP as terminated, will revert to CENTAUR.

debts or make any commitments for the other.
21.2 ASSIGNMENTS. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither this License
-----------
Agreement nor
-33-
any interest hereunder shall be assignable by either party by operation of
law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other; provided,
however, that either party may assign this License Agreement to any
wholly-owned subsidiary or to any successor by merger or sale of
substantially all of its assets to which this License Agreement relates in
a manner such that the assignor shall remain liable and responsible for
the performance and observance of all its duties and obligations
hereunder, or if the assignor disappears because of such transaction, the
assignee must agree to abide by the terms and conditions of this License
Agreement, provided, however, that if a third party engaged in the
manufacture and/or sale of pharmaceutical products acquires in one (1) or
a series of transactions more than thirty percent (30%) of the capital
stock of CENTAUR entitled to vote for directors (a "TAKEOVER EVENT"),
ASTRA may, at its option, within one hundred eighty (180) days following

undertake (i) to reasonably complete the Project Work on its own, and (ii)
manufacture (or have manufactured) Substance for Licensed Product for
ASTRA's (and ASTRA's sublicensees) use worldwide as provided in the Supply
Agreement. ASTRA will make payments pursuant to Section 7.2 and Net Sales
royalty payments to CENTAUR pursuant to Section 7.3, until such time as
ASTRA's obligation to pay Net Sales royalties terminates pursuant to
Section 7.5.
21.3 FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party shall be liable to the other for loss or
-------------
damages or shall have any right to terminate this License Agreement for

accident, war, revolution, civil commotion, act of public enemies,
blockage or embargo, injunction, law, order, proclamation, regulation,
ordinance, demand or requirement of any government or subdivision,
authority (including, without limitation, drug regulatory authorities) or
representative of any such government, or any other cause beyond the
reasonable control of such party, if the party affected shall give prompt
notice of any such cause to the other party. The party providing such
notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations hereunder
as it is so disabled and for thirty (30) days thereafter. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 21.3 shall excuse or suspend the
obligation to make any payment due hereunder in the manner and at the time
provided.
21.4 NO TRADEMARK RIGHTS. No right, express or implied, is granted by this
-------------------
License Agreement to use in any manner any trade name or trademark of
CENTAUR or ASTRA in connection with the performance of this License
Agreement or the exploitation of any license granted hereunder; each party
may make any legally required reference to the other in connection with
such manufacture or sale of Licensed Product.

21.7 SEVERABILITY. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this
------------
License Agreement should for any reason be held by any court or authority
having jurisdiction over this License Agreement or either of the parties to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision or provisions shall be
validly reformed by addition or deletion of wording as appropriate to avoid
such result and as nearly as possible approximate the intent of the parties
and, if unreformable, shall be divisible and deleted in such jurisdiction
to the extent necessary to comply with such holding, and in all other
jurisdictions this License Agreement shall not be affected; provided,
however, that no such reformation shall be made if the effect of such
reformation would be such as to fundamentally alter the terms of this
License Agreement beyond the intent of the parties.

7. PATENT PROSECUTION
------------------
7.1 LICENSED PATENTS. Licensors shall apply for, seek prompt issuance of,
----------------
and maintain during the term of this License Agreement the patents, patent
applications and foreign
-11-
counterparts, as the case may be, included within the Licensed Patents that are
(i) specifically identified by patent number or application serial number in
paragraph 1.9 of this License Agreement, or (ii) timely identified or specified
by Astra by notice to Licensors. Except as provided in paragraph 7.4, the
prosecution and maintenance of all patent applications, foreign counterparts and
patents within the Licensed Patents shall be the primary responsibility of
Licensors; provided, however, that Astra shall be afforded reasonable
-------- -------
opportunities to advise Licensors and shall cooperate with Licensors in such
prosecution and maintenance.
7.2 LICENSORS' REIMBURSEMENT. Except as provided in paragraph 7.4, Astra
------------------------
shall on and after the Effective Date reimburse Licensors for all reasonable
out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses reasonably paid or incurred by Licensors
in filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Licensed Patents on a pro-rata basis
with other Foundation licensees under the Licensed Technology, taking into
consideration the relative value obtained by each such licensee from such patent
or patent application as determined by Licensors in good faith consultation with
such licensees. Astra shall, on and after the Effective Date, deliver such
reimbursement to Licensors (or, if Licensors request, directly to Licensors'
patent counsel) within thirty (30) days after Licensors (or Licensors' patent
counsel) notify Astra from time to time of the amount of such fees, costs and
expenses which have been paid or incurred by Licensors.
7.3 PATENT ABANDONMENT. Licensors shall, on and after the date hereof,
------------------
promptly advise Astra of the grant, lapse, revocation, surrender, any threatened
invalidation of, or of their intention to abandon any such patent, application
or foreign counterpart. If Licensors advise Astra of their intention not to
pursue a patent on any Licensed Technology or to abandon any such patent,
application or foreign counterpart, Astra shall have the right, at its own
expense, to pursue such patent, application or foreign counterpart, in Astra's
name or in Licensors' name, as Astra may determine, and all rights resulting
therefrom shall vest in Astra alone.
7.4 FOREIGN APPLICATION. Astra shall on and after the Effective Date
-------------------
designate each country, if any, in which Astra desires that patent
application(s) corresponding to the Licensed Patents be filed. Astra shall, on
and after the Effective Date, pay all costs and legal fees associated with the
preparation and filing of such designated foreign patent applications, and such
applications shall be in Licensors' name. Licensors may elect to file
corresponding patent applications in countries other than those designated by
Astra, but in that event Licensors shall be responsible for all costs associated
with such non-designated filings. Licensors will notify Astra that it intends
to make such filings. Astra will, on and after the Effective Date, have thirty
(30) days to decide to pay for such filings and prosecutions. If it does not
decide to pay for such applications within the 30-day period, on and after the
Effective Date, neither of such applications nor any patents that issue thereon
shall be considered to be Licensed Patents, and Astra shall forfeit its rights
under this License Agreement with respect to such applications and patents.
-12-
8. PATENT INFRINGEMENT
-------------------
8.1 NOTICE OF INFRINGEMENT. Astra shall promptly notify Licensors of any
----------------------
alleged infringement of the Licensed Patents and of any available evidence of
such infringement.
8.2 SUIT BY ASTRA. Astra shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
-------------
commence suit for any infringement of the Licensed Patents, and Licensors agree
that Astra may cause Licensors to join Astra as a party to any such suit at no
expense to Licensors. The total cost of any such infringement action commenced
or defended solely by Astra shall be borne by Astra, and Astra shall retain any
recovery or damages awarded in such action, but such recovery or damages (less
the cost of such recovery, including reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees)
shall be treated as Sales of Licensed Products, and Astra shall pay royalties
thereon to Licensors in accordance with paragraph 4.1(a) of this License
Agreement. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition
of the suit may be entered into without the written consent of Licensors, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Astra shall indemnify Licensors
against any order for costs or award of sanctions that may be made or entered
against Licensors in such proceedings commenced or defended solely by Astra.
8.3 SUIT BY LICENSORS. If within six (6) months after notice by Astra to
-----------------
Licensors, or by one of Licensors to Astra, of any alleged infringement, Astra
has been unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist and has not
brought an infringement action, or if Astra notifies Licensors at any time of
Astra's intention not to bring suit against an alleged infringer, then and only
then, Licensors shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence suit
for such infringement at Licensors' sole expense, and Licensors may, in such
suit, use the name of Astra as a nominal party. No settlement, consent judgment
or other voluntary final disposition of the suit may be entered into without the
written consent of Astra, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Astra shall not be responsible for any order for costs or awards of sanctions
that may be made or entered against Astra in such proceedings.
8.4 DEFENSE. In the event that a declaratory judgment action alleging
-------
invalidity, unenforceability or noninfringement of any of the Licensed Patents
shall be brought against Astra, Licensors or either of them, Astra shall have
the first right to defend such action; provided, however, that if Astra
-----------------
determines at any time that it does not desire to defend such action, it shall
promptly so advise Licensors, and Licensors shall then have the right to defend
such action at Licensors' sole expense. Astra shall not be responsible for any
order for costs or award of sanctions that may be made or entered against Astra
in such proceedings.
8.5 COOPERATION. In any suit either Party may commence or defend pursuant
-----------
to its rights under this License Agreement in order to enforce or defend the
validity or enforceability
-13-
of the Licensed Patents, the other Party shall, at the reasonable request and
expense of the Party initiating or defending such suit, reasonably cooperate in
all respects and, to the extent possible, have its employees testify when
requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples,
specimens and the like.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY
---------------
9.1 MAINTENANCE OF CONFIDENTIALITY. No Party shall, without the express
------------------------------
written consent of the other Parties to this License Agreement in advance, for
any reason or at any time either during or for a period of three (3) years
subsequent to the term of this License Agreement, except as otherwise provided
in this paragraph 9.1, (i) use (except in the course of practicing the licenses
granted in this License Agreement), or (ii) disclose (except as is necessary in
the course of sublicensing, marketing or selling Licensed Products or obtaining
governmental approval to do so, or as is required to be disclosed pursuant to
law (provided that the receiving Party uses reasonable efforts to give the
disclosing Party reasonable notice of such required disclosure) as contemplated
in this License Agreement) to any person (including without limitation any
director, officer or employee of a Party who is not under an obligation of
confidentiality substantially similar to the obligation contained herein) the
Licensed Technology or any other information relating to the Licensed Products
(collectively the "PROPRIETARY INFORMATION"). This obligation of non-use and
non-disclosure shall not extend to Proprietary Information:
(a) which can be demonstrated by the receiving Party to have been
within its legitimate possession prior to the time of disclosure
by the disclosing Party,
(b) which was in the public domain prior to disclosure by the
disclosing Party, as evidenced by documents which were generally
published prior to such disclosure,
(c) which, after disclosure by the disclosing Party, comes into the
public domain through no fault of the receiving Party, or
(d) which is disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party having
legitimate possession thereof and the unrestricted right to make
such disclosure.
9.2 PRIOR AGREEMENTS. The provisions of this License Agreement supersede
----------------
and shall be substituted for any terms of any prior confidentiality agreement(s)
relating to the Proprietary Information between Astra and either of the
Licensors which are not consistent with this License Agreement.
-14-
10. TERM AND TERMINATION
--------------------
10.1 DURATION. Unless sooner terminated as otherwise provided in this
--------
License Agreement, the term of this License Agreement shall commence upon the
date hereof and shall continue until the later of (i) fifteen (15) years from
the date hereof, or (ii) the date of expiration of the last to expire of the
Licensed Patents, except that upon expiration of this License Agreement at the
-----------
end of such term, Astra shall automatically have a perpetual, paid-up, royalty-
free license to use and sublicense Licensed Technology without restriction.
10.2 TERMINATION. Licensors shall have the right to terminate this
-----------
License Agreement on the occurrence of any one or more of the following events
and notice to Astra pursuant to paragraph 10.3:
(a) failure of Astra to make any payment when due required pursuant

the benefit of creditors;
(f) placement of Astra's assets in the hands of a trustee or a
receiver unless the receivership or trust is dissolved within
thirty (30) days thereafter; or
(g) the material or intentional breach by Astra of any other term of
this License Agreement.
10.3 EXERCISE. Licensors may exercise their right of termination as
--------
provided in paragraph 10.2, by giving Astra, its trustees, receivers or assigns,
sixty (60) days prior written notice of Licensors' election to terminate this
License Agreement. Upon the expiration of such period, this License Agreement
shall automatically terminate unless (i) Astra has previously cured the breach
or condition permitting termination under the preceding paragraph 10.2, or (ii)
such breach or condition cannot reasonably be cured within sixty (60) days due
to causes beyond Astra's reasonable control, Astra commences good faith efforts
to cure such breach
-15-
within such 60-day period and Astra does cure the breach within one hundred
twenty (120) days after the expiration of such 60-day period, in which case this
License Agreement shall not terminate. Such notice and termination shall not
prejudice Licensors' rights to any royalties and other sums due hereunder and
shall not prejudice any cause of action or claim of Licensors accrued or to
accrue on account of any breach or default by Astra.
10.4 FAILURE TO ENFORCE. The failure of Licensors at any time, or for any
------------------
period of time, to enforce any of the provisions of this License Agreement shall
not be construed as a waiver of such provisions or the right of Licensors
thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.
10.5 TERMINATION BY ASTRA. Astra may terminate this License Agreement at
--------------------
any time giving Licensors six (6) months prior written notice of Astra's
election to terminate.
10.6 EFFECT. In the event this License Agreement is terminated prior to
------
its expiration for any reason whatsoever, Astra (i) shall not have any right to
return of any payments of any kind theretofore made by Astra to Licensors
pursuant to this License Agreement, (ii) shall return, or at Licensor's
direction, destroy, all plans, drawings, papers, notes, writings and other
documents, samples, organisms, biological materials and models constituting the
Licensed Technology, retaining no copies, (iii) shall refrain from using or
publishing any portion of the Licensed Technology as provided in Section 9 of
this License Agreement, and (iv) shall cease manufacturing, processing,
producing, using, selling or distributing Licensed Products; provided, however
-----------------
that Astra may continue to sell in the ordinary course of business for a period
of one hundred eighty (180) days reasonable quantities of Licensed Products
which are fully manufactured and in Astra's normal inventory at the date of
termination if:
(a) all monetary obligations of Astra to Licensors have been
satisfied, and
(b) royalties on such sales are paid to Licensors in the amounts and
in the manner provided in this License Agreement.
Upon termination of this License Agreement, any Sublicenses granted by Astra to

and in which the Sublicensees are in full compliance, including without
limitation compliance with the obligations under Section 5, 9, 11 and 12 of this
License Agreement, shall continue in full force and effect with Licensors
substituted in Astra's place. The provisions of Sections 9, 11 and 12 of this
License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
termination of this License Agreement.

---------------
this License Agreement, Astra shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
Licensors, The University of Kentucky, the University of Oklahoma and their
officers, directors, trustees and employees and all of their heirs, executors,
administrators and legal representatives ("INDEMNITEES") from and against any
and all claims, demands, loss, liability, expense or damage (including
investigative costs, court costs and attorneys' fees) Indemnitees may suffer,
pay or incur as a result of claims, demands or actions against any of the
Indemnitees arising or alleged to arise by reason of or in connection with any
and all personal injury, economic loss and property damage caused or alleged to
be caused or contributed to in whole or in part by the manufacture, use, lease,
sale or sublicense of Licensed Products by Astra, whether asserted under a tort
or contractual theory or any other legal theory, including but not limited to
any and all claims, demands, and actions in which it is alleged that (i) an
Indemnitee's negligence or representations about the Licensed Products caused
any defect in their manufacture, design, labeling or performance, or (ii) any
alleged infringement of any patent, trademark or copyright, caused or
contributed in whole or in part to the personal injury, economic loss or
property damage. Astra's obligations under this paragraph 11.1 shall survive
the expiration or termination of this License Agreement for any reason. The
foregoing indemnification shall not apply in the event a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that such liability, demands, damages, expenses and
losses, arose in whole or in part as a result of Licensors' intentional
misconduct or gross negligence.
11.2 INSURANCE. Without limiting Astra's indemnity obligations under the
---------
preceding paragraph 11.1, prior to testing any compounds in humans, Astra shall
obtain a liability insurance policy which:
(a) insures Indemnitees for all claims, demands and actions mentioned
in the preceding paragraph 11.1 of this License Agreement;
(b) includes a contractual endorsement providing coverage for all
such liability which may be incurred by Indemnitees in connection
with this License Agreement;
(c) requires the insurance carrier to provide Licensors with no less
than thirty (30) days written notice of any change in the terms
of coverage of the policy or its cancellation; and
(d) provides Indemnitees with product liability coverage in the
following amounts for the periods indicated below:
(i) $500,000 in product liability coverage during the period
in which one (1) or more Licensed Products are being used
in United
-17-
States FDS clinical trials in human beings but no Licensed
Products are approved by FDA for use in human beings;
(ii) $2,500,000 in product liability coverage for each Licensed
Product approved by FDA for use in human beings;
provided that the aggregate maximum amount of product liability coverage for all
-------------
Licensed Products at any time shall not exceed $10,000,000 combined single
limit for bodily injury and property damage liability, subject to a deductible
of not more than $100,000 per occurrence, and provided further that Astra, at
its option, may provide Licensors with a certificate of Astra's insurer
substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, in lieu of naming
---------
Licensors as insureds.
Astra shall maintain such liability insurance policy throughout the term of this
License Agreement and for three (3) years thereafter.
11.3 NOTICE OF CLAIMS. Astra will promptly notify Licensors of all claims
----------------
involving Licensed Products.
11.4 EVIDENCE OF INSURANCE. Astra shall provide Licensors with copies of
---------------------
liability policies which comply fully with this License Agreement during the
entire period Astra is required to maintain such insurance. If Astra fails at
any time to maintain insurance as required in this License Agreement, Licensors
may (but shall be under no obligation to) purchase their own policy providing
all or any of the coverage and recover from Astra the cost thereof, which shall
be payable on demand.
11.5 INDEMNIFICATION BY ASTRA. Astra shall indemnify and hold harmless
------------------------
Indemnitees against and with respect to all losses, damages, claims, liabilities
or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred or
sustained by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, any violation,
breach or nonfulfillment on the part of Astra of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement made by Astra pursuant to this License Agreement.
Licensors or Indemnities shall notify Astra in writing promptly after it or they
acquire actual knowledge of any action or claim against it or them hereunder
which may give rise to liability of Astra pursuant to this paragraph 11.5.
Astra may, at its own expense, through legal counsel reasonably approved by
Licensors, defend or settle any such claim or action, provided that Astra posts
security that is adequate in the reasonable discretion of Licensors to protect
Licensors or Indemnities and provided Licensors are notified in writing of
Astra's intent to so defend within ten (10) days after Astra has been notified
by Licensors or such other Indemnities of such claim or action.
11.6 CONTRIBUTION BY ASTRA. If the indemnification provided for in the
---------------------
preceding
-18-
paragraph 11.5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless Indemnities in
respect of any of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) referred to above, then Astra shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by each such Indemnities as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Astra on the one hand
and Licensors and any other Indemnities on the other from the activities from
which such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arose, as well as the relative
fault of Astra on the one hand and Licensors on the other in connection with the
actions or inactions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.

United States laws and regulations controlling the export of technical data,
computer software, laboratory prototypes and other commodities and that
Foundation's obligations hereunder are contingent on compliance with all
applicable United State export and other laws and regulations. The transfer of
certain technical data and commodities may require a license from the cognizant
agency of the United States Government and/or written assurances by Astra that
Astra shall not export data or commodities to certain foreign countries without
prior approval of such agency. Licensors neither represent that a license shall
not be required nor that, if required, it shall be issued.
13.2 LEGAL COMPLIANCE. Astra agrees that it will comply with all
----------------
applicable laws and regulations in relation to its manufacture, processing,
producing, use, selling or distributing of Licensed Products and that it will
not at any time take any action which would cause Licensors or Astra to be in
violation of any of such applicable laws and regulations.
13.3 REQUIRED CONSENTS. Astra shall obtain any and all licensees,
-----------------
permits, approvals or authorizations (the "REQUIRED CONSENTS") required by any
governmental entity or agency having jurisdiction over the transactions
contemplated by this License Agreement. Licensors shall cooperate with, and
provide reasonable assistance to, Astra in obtaining the Required Consents;
provided, however, that Astra shall reimburse Licensors for all of Licensor's
-------- -------
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance.
13.4 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Astra's relationship to Licensors hereunder
----------------------
shall be that of a license only. Astra shall not be the agent of Licensors and
shall have no authority to act for or on behalf of Licensors in any matter.
Persons retained by Astra as employees or agents shall not by reason thereof be
deemed to be employees or agents of Licensors.
13.5 PATENT MARKING. Astra agrees to xxxx, to the extent practical, the
--------------
Licensed Products sold in the United States with all applicable United States
patent numbers. All Licensed Products shipped to or sold in other countries
shall be marked, to the extent practical, in such a manner as to conform with
the patent laws and practice of the country of manufacture or sale.
-23-
13.6 USE OF NAMES. No name of any Party to this License Agreement, or of

the individual, as the case may be, is obtained in advance.
13.7 INTERPRETATION. The Parties are equally responsible for the
--------------
preparation of this License Agreement, and in any judicial proceeding the terms
hereof shall not be more strictly construed against one Party than the other.

13.9 ASSIGNMENTS AND INUREMENT. Except as otherwise provided in this
-------------------------
License Agreement, Astra shall not grant, transfer, convey or otherwise assign
any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this License
Agreement (except in the course of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of all
or substantially all of Astra's business) without the prior written consent of
Licensors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and any
attempt by Astra to do so shall be of no effect; however, this License Agreement
shall be assignable by each of Licensors, provided that any such assignee has
agreed in writing with Astra to be bound by the terms and provisions of this
License Agreement. This License Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties hereto.
13.10 GOVERNING LAW. This License Agreement shall be construed, governed,
-------------
interpreted and applied in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
except that questions affecting the construction and effect of any patent shall
be determined by the law of
-25-
the country in which the patent was granted.
13.11 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This License Agreement constitutes the entire
----------------
agreement between Licensors and Astra with respect to the subject matter hereof
and shall not be modified, amended or terminated except as herein provided or
except by another agreement in writing executed by the Parties hereto.
13.12 HEADINGS. The section and paragraph headings are for convenience
--------
only and are not part of this License Agreement.
13.13 SEVERABILITY. All rights and restrictions contained herein may be
------------
exercised and shall be applicable and binding only to the extent that they do
not violate any applicable laws and are intended to be limited to the extent
necessary so that they will not render this License Agreement illegal, invalid
or unenforceable. If any provision or portion of any provision of this License
Agreement not essential to the commercial purpose of this License Agreement
shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, it is the intention of the Parties that the remaining provisions
or portions thereof shall constitute their agreement with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and all such remaining provisions or portions thereof shall
remain in full force and effect. To the extent legally permissible, any
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision of this License Agreement shall be
replaced by a valid provision which will implement the commercial purpose of the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision. In the event that any provision
essential to the commercial purpose of this License Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable and cannot be replaced by a valid provision
which will implement the commercial purpose of this License Agreement, this
License Agreement and the rights granted herein shall terminate.
13.14 COUNTERPARTS. This License Agreement may be executed in two or more
------------
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this License Agreement to be
executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the day and year first
above written.
