LICENSOR further agrees that subsequent to October 24, 2002, no additional or further licenses under the Elan Patent Applications or the Related UPT Applications have been or

LICENSEE acknowledges that, through the Asset Purchase Agreement, LICENSEE shall be assigned the Development and License Agreement entered into between American Home Products Corporation, acting through its Fort Dodge Animal Health division (“FDAH”), and Universal Preservation Technologies(“UPT”) dated August 25, 1998, which agreement granted a license from UPT to FDAH of certain UPT patents and patent applications now being assigned to Elan pursuant to the Deed of Assignment and licensed to Avant pursuant to this LICENSE AGREEMENT. The field of said FDAH-UPT agreement is limited to avian vaccines and does not extend to vaccines for administration to humans.

LICENSEE further acknowledges and agrees that, except as specifically provided above, no other license is granted or implied under PATENT RIGHTS or any other patent rights, and agrees not to practice PATENT RIGHTS outside of the license grant pursuant to Section 2.1(1) to (4) inclusive

2.2 Sublicenses.

Except as set forth with respect to the existing Stratagene licensee in this subsection, LICENSEE may sublicense, directly or indirectly, through multiple tiers, the rights and licenses granted to LICENSEE in accordance with Section 2.1. LICENSEE shall give written notice of each sublicense to LICENSOR promptly, and any such sublicense shall include terms of confidentiality at least as strict as those set forth in Section 6 below. The rights of Stratagene to sublicense the rights granted hereunder shall be governed by the Stratagene License Agreement (Schedule E).

LICENSEE shall be liable for all acts and omissions of its sub-licensees which, if committed by LICENSEE, would constitute a breach of any of the covenants or obligations of LICENSEE in this LICENSE AGREEMENT.

2.3 Retained Rights. Except as set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above, LICENSOR shall retain all other rights in PATENT RIGHTS.

3. Consideration for Grant of Rights.

3.1 In consideration of the license of the PATENT RIGHTS hereunder, upon execution of this LICENSE AGREEMENT, LICENSEE agrees to pay LICENSOR the non-refundable sum of Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$500,000.00). No further royalties, payments, or other consideration will be exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of this LICENSE AGREEMENT.

The foregoing sum shall not be subject to any future performance obligations of LICENSOR to LICENSEE and shall not be applicable against future services provided by LICENSOR to LICENSEE. The terms of this Clause 3 are independent and distinct from the other terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall be without prejudice to LICENSOR’S other obligations under this LICENSE AGREEMENT which are assumed in consideration of LICENSEE’S other obligations hereunder.

4. Licensee Obligations.

4.1 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnity. LICENSEE or its permitted sublicensees or any party acting on its behalf, shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ELAN and its directors, officers, employees, and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Indemnitees”), against any liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon any of the Indemnitees in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments arising out of any theory of liability (including without limitation actions in the form of tort, warranty, or strict liability and regardless of whether such action has any factual basis) concerning any product, process, or service that is made, used, sold, offered for sale, or imported pursuant to any right or license granted under this LICENSE AGREEMENT; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not apply to any liability, damage, loss, or expense to the extent directly attributable to the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Indemnitees. LICENSEE’S indemnification obligations shall specifically extend to any such claim, suit, action or demand brought by a third party alleging that the making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing of a LICENSED PRODUCT infringes any intellectual property rights of a third party.

(b) Procedures. The Indemnitees agree to provide LICENSEE with prompt written notice of any claim, suit, action, demand, or judgment for which indemnification is sought under this LICENSE AGREEMENT, but any delay in notification shall relieve LICENSEE of its liability to indemnify hereunder only to the extent that LICENSEE is actually prejudiced thereby. LICENSEE agrees, at its own expense, to provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitees to defend against any such claim. The Indemnitees shall cooperate fully with LICENSEE in such defense and will permit LICENSEE to conduct and control such defense and the disposition of such claim, suit, or action (including all decisions relative to litigation, appeal, and settlement); provided, however, that any Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, at its own expense, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by LICENSEE is deemed inappropriate because of perceived or potential conflicts in the interests of such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel. LICENSEE agrees to keep the Indemnitees informed of the progress in the defense and disposition of such claim and to consult with the Indemnitees with regard to any proposed settlement. In defending against such claim, suit, action, demand or judgment, LICENSEE shall not take any position adverse to the validity of the PATENT RIGHTS without the prior written consent of LICENSOR, which shall not be unreasonably refused.

4.2. Use of ELAN Name. LICENSEE and its AFFILIATES shall not use the name “Elan” or “Elan Drug Delivery Limited” or any variation of those names in connection with the marketing or sale of any LICENSED PRODUCTS without the prior written consent of ELAN.

4.3. Marking of LICENSED PRODUCTS. To the extent commercially feasible and consistent with prevailing business practices, LICENSEE shall xxxx, and shall cause its AFFILIATES to xxxx, all LICENSED PRODUCTS that are manufactured or sold under this LICENSE AGREEMENT with the number of each issued patent under the PATENT RIGHTS that applies to such LICENSED PRODUCT.

4.4 Orange Book Submission. LICENSEE shall submit to the Food & Drug Administration, or other relevant agency, documents necessary to include in the Orange Book, or similar publication, each issued patent under the PATENT RIGHTS that applies to a LICENSED PRODUCT sold by LICENSEE.

4.5. Compliance with Law. LICENSEE shall comply with, and shall ensure that its AFFILIATES comply with, all local, state, and federal laws and regulations relating to the development, manufacture, use, and sale of LICENSED PRODUCTS.

4.6 Non-Assertion. LICENSEE covenants and agrees not to assert outside the AVANT FIELD the Transferred Patent Applications and/or any patents issuing from any of the Transferred Patent Applications and/or any patents which are subsequently abandoned by LICENSOR and taken over by LICENSEE pursuant to the provisions of this LICENSE AGREEMENT, against ELAN, its AFFILIATES, successors, customers, and/or licensees (both current and future). If LICENSEE assigns or licenses (except with respect to the Stratagene licensee mentioned above) or otherwise disposes of all or any of the patents or patent rights referred to in this Section 4.6, such assignment or license shall include a comparable non-assertion provision.

5. Patents and Infringement.

5.1. Responsibility for PATENT RIGHTS. In connection with LICENSOR’S prosecution of APPLICATIONS, LICENSOR shall, subject to subsection 5.3 below, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain claims in the AVANT FIELD. Limited to the extent related to the AVANT FIELD, LICENSOR shall generally keep LICENSEE informed about significant prosecution activities relating to the Elan Patent Applications and the Related UPT Applications and give LICENSEE personnel reasonable access to patent personnel of LICENSOR involved in or knowledgeable of such prosecution activities, with instructions to cooperate with LICENSEE as to matters relating to the Elan Patent Applications and Related UPT Applications and licenses granted pursuant to this LICENSE AGREEMENT.

5.2. Cooperation. If requested by the LICENSOR, the LICENSEE shall cooperate fully with the LICENSOR in the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all PATENT RIGHTS. In the same manner, LICENSOR shall cooperate fully with LICENSEE

as reasonably necessary in preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of applications added to Transferred Patent Applications subsequent to the Effective Date pursuant to Section 5.3 below. Such cooperation includes, without limitation, (i) promptly executing all papers and instruments or requiring employees of LICENSOR or LICENSEE to execute such papers and instruments as reasonable and appropriate so as to enable LICENSOR or LICENSEE to file, prosecute, and maintain such PATENT RIGHTS in any country; and (ii) promptly informing the other party of matters that may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance of any such PATENT RIGHTS (such as becoming aware of an additional inventor who is not listed as an inventor in a patent application).

5.3. Abandonment. LICENSOR shall have the right, but not the obligation, to continue to prosecute and maintain the APPLICATIONS and any patents issuing therefrom. In the event that LICENSOR desires to abandon any patent or APPLICATION within the Elan Patent Applications (Schedule A) or the Related UPT Applications (Schedule B), LICENSOR shall, strictly subject to its other third party obligations:

(i) notify LICENSEE in advance and in a timely manner with respect to upcoming deadlines where LICENSOR is not intending to take steps to meet the deadline; and

(ii) give LICENSEE the opportunity to take over the prosecution and/or maintenance, at its own expense, of any such patent or APPLICATION. In the event that LICENSOR elects not to continue prosecuting or maintaining an APPLICATION or any patent issuing therefrom in any jurisdiction, LICENSOR shall notify LICENSEE, and, subject to any third party agreements existing as of the date hereof, LICENSEE shall have the option to prosecute and/or maintain, at its own expense, such APPLICATION or patent in such jurisdictions. LICENSOR agrees, subject to any third party agreements existing as of the date thereof, to assign to LICENSEE any such APPLICATION that LICENSEE elects to prosecute and/or maintain after LICENSOR’S decision to abandon. LICENSOR agrees, upon LICENSEE’S request, and at LICENSEE’S expense, to execute all legal documents required for preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of any APPLICATION or patent issuing therefrom for which LICENSEE has taken over prosecution and/or maintenance responsibility. Any APPLICATION or patent transferred in accordance with this Section 5.3 from LICENSOR or LICENSEE shall be regarded as a patent or patent right belonging to the Transferred Patent Applications, and following such transfer such patents or patent rights shall be treated under this LICENSE AGREEMENT in accordance with the provisions herein relating to the Transferred Patent Applications (including but not limited to Section 4.6).

5.4. Infringement.

(a) Notification of Infringement. Each party agrees to provide written notice to the other party promptly after becoming aware of any infringement of the PATENT RIGHTS, save that the LICENSOR shall be under no obligation to provide such notice to the LICENSEE in relation to any infringement in the ELAN FIELD.

(b) LICENSEE Right to Enforce. LICENSEE, as the exclusive licensee in accordance with Section 2.1(1) in the AVANT FIELD, shall have the right, under its own control and at its own expense, to bring suit against any third party for infringement in the AVANT FIELD of the Related UPT Applications and the Elan Patent Applications. Prior to

commencing any such action, LICENSEE shall consult with LICENSOR and shall consider the views of LICENSOR regarding the advisability of the proposed action and its effect on the public interest. LICENSEE shall not enter into any settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of any infringement action under this Subsection 5.4(b) without the prior written consent of LICENSOR, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. LICENSEE shall not take any position adverse to the validity of the Related UPT Applications or the Elan Patent Applications without first consulting with LICENSOR. Any recovery obtained in an action under this Subsection 5.4(b) shall be distributed as follows: (i) LICENSEE shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in bringing and prosecuting the action, (ii) LICENSOR shall be reimbursed for any non-reimbursed expenses (see Subsection 5.4(f) below), and (iii) from any remaining recovery, LICENSEE shall receive seventy-five percent (75%) and LICENSOR shall receive twenty-five percent (25%).

(c) LICENSOR Right to Enforce. In the event that LICENSEE elects not to exercise its right of enforcement under Subsection 5.4(b) or fails to initiate an infringement action within nine months after it first becomes aware of the basis for such action, LICENSOR shall have the right to bring suit against any third party for infringement within the AVANT FIELD, under its sole control and at its sole expense, and any recovery obtained shall be distributed as follows: (i) LICENSOR shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in bringing and prosecuting the action, (ii) LICENSEE shall be reimbursed for any non-reimbursed expenses (see Subsection 5.4(f) below) and (iii) from any remaining recovery, LICENSOR shall receive one hundred percent (100%). LICENSOR shall have the sole right to bring suit under PATENT RIGHTS against a third party for infringement in the ELAN FIELD, or to answer and defend a declaratory judgement action involving any PATENT RIGHTS, and any recovery obtained in such an action by LICENSOR shall be the sole property of LICENSOR. LICENSOR shall have the unilateral right to enter into any settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of an infringement action under this Subsection 5.4(c), except that as part of such settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition, LICENSOR shall not take a position adverse to the validity of the Related UPT Applications or the Elan Patent Applications without prior written consent of LICENSEE which shall not be unreasonably refused.

(d) LICENSEE Second Right to Enforce. LICENSOR shall have the right, under its own control and at its own expense, to bring suit against any third party for infringement of PATENT RIGHTS outside the AVANT FIELD and outside the ELAN FIELD, and recovery obtained in such an action by LICENSOR shall be the sole property of LICENSOR. LICENSOR shall have the unilateral right to enter into any settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of an infringement action under this Subsection 5.4(d), except that, as part of such settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition, LICENSOR shall not take a position adverse to the validity of the Related UPT Applications or the Elan Patent Applications without prior written consent of LICENSEE which shall not be unreasonably refused. In the event that LICENSOR elects not to exercise its right of enforcement under this Subsection 5.4(d) with respect to Related UPT Applications or Elan Patent Applications or fails to initiate an infringement action within nine months after it first becomes aware of the basis for such action under the Related UPT

Applications or Elan Patent Applications, subject to third party rights existing as of the date hereof, LICENSEE shall have the right to bring suit against any third party for infringement, under its sole control and at its sole expense; provided however, that LICENSEE shall not take any position adverse to the validity of the Related UPT Applications or Elan Patent Applications without prior written consent of LICENSOR which shall not be unreasonably refused. Any recovery for a suit brought by LICENSEE pursuant to this Subsection 5.4(d) shall be distributed as follows: (i) LICENSEE shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in bringing and prosecuting the action, (ii) LICENSOR shall be reimbursed for any non-reimbursed expenses (see Subsection 5.4(f) below), and (iii) from any remaining recovery, LICENSEE shall receive one hundred percent (100%).

(e) LICENSEE shall have the sole right to bring suit under Transferred Patent Applications against a third party for infringement, or to answer and defend a declaratory judgement action involving any Transferred Patent Applications, and any recovery obtained in such an action by LICENSEE shall be the sole property of LICENSEE. LICENSEE shall have the unilateral right to enter into any settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of an infringement action under this Subsection 5.4(e).

(f) Cooperation. Each party agrees to cooperate fully in any action brought under this Section 5.4 that is controlled by the other party, provided that the controlling party reimburses the cooperating party promptly for any costs and expenses incurred by the cooperating party in connection with providing such assistance.
