This LICENSE does not include the right to grant sublicenses. The parties acknowledge and agree, however, that no sublicense is necessary for LICENSEE to exercise its “have made,” “have sold,” “have imported and exported,” or “have practiced” rights through the use of a third party acting on behalf of and/or in conjunction with LICENSEE or an AFFILIATE.

2.2 Unless terminated earlier as provided below, this Agreement shall commence on the EFFECTIVE DATE of full execution of this Agreement. This Agreement shall automatically end on the date of the last to expire of the patents described in the LICENSED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

ARTICLE 3 MILESTONES

3.1 LICENSEE shall pay to YALE and ROCKEFELLER, within fifteen (15) days of the EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement, a non-refundable license issue fee of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00).

3.2 LICENSEE shall pay the following milestone payments to YALE and ROCKEFELLER for each LICENSED PRODUCT developed by LICENSEE:

a)	a non-refundable milestone payment of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000) upon the filing of an IND.

c)	a non-refundable milestone payment of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) upon BLA OR NDA FILING.

d)	a non-refundable milestone payment of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) upon BLA OR NDA APPROVAL.

Each milestone payment shall be payable only once per development program, where a development program comprises the clinical studies required for regulatory approval for a given indication.

3.3 Neither the license issue fee set forth in Article 3.1 nor the milestone payments set forth in Article 3.2 shall be credited against EARNED ROYALTIES payable under Article 4.

ARTICLE 4 ROYALTIES

4.1 As consideration for the license granted under this Agreement, LICENSEE shall pay to YALE and ROCKEFELLER a cumulative earned royalty of xx Percent (xx%) of NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS or LICENSED METHODS (“EARNED ROYALTIES”). EARNED ROYALTIES shall accrue in each country for the duration of the LICENSED PATENTS in that country. LICENSEE shall pay all royalties accruing to YALE and ROCKEFELLER within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31) in which NET SALES occur, along with a written report (as described in Section 8) setting forth the NET SALES and the earned royalties payable thereon.

4.2 In the event that at any time during the TERM, LICENSEE or its AFFILIATES, in order to exploit the license granted to it under Section 2.1 of this AGREEMENT in any country, are required to make royalty payments to one or more third parties or to YALE or ROCKEFELLER pursuant to another license agreement (“THIRD PARTY PAYMENTS”) to obtain a license to an issued patent or patents in the absence of which a LICENSED PRODUCT could not legally be manufactured or sold in such country, then royalties due to YALE and ROCKEFELLER pursuant to Section 4.1

above for a given LICENSED PRODUCT may be reduced by fifty percent (50%) of such THIRD PARTY PAYMENTS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such reductions shall in no event reduce the royalty for such LICENSED PRODUCT payable pursuant to such subsection by more than fifty percent (50%).

4.3 During the term of this Agreement, EARNED ROYALTIES shall be payable by LICENSEE during the period that any LICENSED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY is effective in any country, or, in the case of patent applications, during the period such applications remains pending for less than 7 years from the EFFECTIVE DATE. In the event that a LICENSED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY lapses, is abandoned, is admitted to be invalid or unenforceable through reissue or disclaimer, or if all of its claims are declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal may be taken, or, in the case of patent applications, is pending for more than 7 years from the EFFECTIVE DATE, the obligation to pay royalties for that patent or patent application shall terminate as of the date of that decision, but this Agreement shall remain in effect as to the remaining LICENSED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, or claims thereunder.

4.4 During the term of this Agreement, LICENSEE agrees to pay YALE and ROCKEFELLER an annual License Maintenance Fee (“LMF”) of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) commencing on the first January 1 after the EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement and every January 1 thereafter. LICENSEE shall continue to pay the LMF until the end of the term of the last to expire of the LICENSED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. YALE and ROCKEFELLER shall fully credit the LMF against any earned royalties payable by LICENSEE in the same year. All royalties and other payments due under this Agreement shall be paid to YALE and ROCKEFELLER in U.S. Dollars. LICENSEE shall send fifty percent (50%) of any such payment to YALE and fifty percent (50%) to ROCKEFELLER, together with any necessary reports, to the addresses included in Article 11 below. In the event that conversion from foreign currency is required in calculating a payment hereunder, the exchange rate used shall be the Interbank rate quoted by Citibank at the end of the last business day of the quarter in which the royalty was earned. If overdue, the royalties and any other payments due under this Agreement, shall bear interest until payment at a per annum rate two percent (2%) above the prime rate in effect at Citibank on the due date. The payment of such principal and interest shall not preclude YALE and ROCKEFELLER from exercising its rights under Section 10.3 it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

ARTICLE 5 CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICITY

5.1 Confidentiality. YALE, ROCKEFELLER, and LICENSEE each recognize that the other’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION constitutes highly valuable information.

a) was known to the RECIPIENT prior to the disclosure by the DISCLOSING PARTY; or

b) is or becomes publicly known through no fault or omission attributable to the RECIPIENT; or

c) is rightfully given to the RECIPIENT from sources independent of the DISCLOSING PARTY; or

d) is required to be disclosed by law, but only after prompt written notice to the owner of the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and opportunity to seek a protective order or to agree to such disclosure.
