arms length transaction exclusively for money, or upon any use of such
Inactivation Package or Integrated Inactivation Set for purposes which do not
result in customary sales revenue, such sale or other disposal or use shall be
(unless the parties agree otherwise) deemed to constitute a sale at the then
current average selling price for the Inactivation Package or Integrated
Inactivation Set, as the case may be.
(c) In the case of sales by Xxxxxx to a distributor, the Net
Sales shall be computed on the distributor's invoice price to the ultimate
purchaser or user. In the event that Xxxxxx is not able to determine the price
charged by a distributor to the ultimate purchaser or user, such price shall be
the recommended price which Xxxxxx, at the direction of the Management Board,
recommends the distributor to charge to its end customers (which may vary from
territory to territory).
(d) In the event Xxxxxx or Cerus, in accordance with policies
established by the Management Board, supplies Instruments to end users without
charge in return for an increased price of Inactivation Packages to such end
users, Xxxxxx or Cerus, as the case may be, may deduct from Net Sales received
from such end users the depreciation of the cost of such Instruments. In the
event such Instruments are also used in connection with products supplied by
Xxxxxx or Cerus other than the Inactivation Packages or Integrated Inactivation
Sets developed under this Agreement, then the amount of such depreciation to be
deducted in any quarter from Net Sales shall be limited to that portion of the
depreciation reasonably allocable to the use of the Instruments in connection
with Inactivation Packages and Integrated Inactivation Sets, in accordance with
policies established by the Management Board. In the case of such Instruments
that are supplied into facilities using both platelet pathogen inactivation
systems and S59 FFP Systems, Xxxxxx or Cerus as the case may be, may [...***...]

HOWEVER, the independent member shall not vote, and the Cerus representatives
shall not be entitled to cast the deciding vote, on matters pertaining to any
dispute concerning the parties' legal obligations to each other for disbursement
of funds or the reimbursement of expenses under any circumstances. In the event
of a deadlock that may be broken by the independent member, either Xxxxxx or
Cerus may notify the other party and the independent member in writing of the
existence of such deadlock and provide to each the specific resolution that such
party proposes to be adopted by the Management Board. Each party will have
thirty (30) days from such notice to present its position to the independent
member, which shall include at least one meeting at which both parties and the
independent member are present. Either Xxxxxx, Cerus or the independent member
may, by notice to the others, shorten such time period if such party believes
that urgent action is required on the matter at issue. The independent member

independent member shall not break the deadlock and the Project will continue
without reduction of funding level, subject to the right of either party to
cease participation in such Project, as provided in Section 12 hereof. Any
compensation of the independent member shall be by mutual agreement of the
Parties and shall be subject to cost sharing. The independent member shall vote
on all matters in a manner that in the good faith judgment of the independent
member is in Xxxxxx and Cerus' best interests as risk and revenue sharers under
this Agreement (I.E. in the same manner that a corporate director would vote in
the best interests of the shareholders of a corporation). Xxxxxx and Cerus will
indemnify and hold harmless the independent member against any claim arising
from a decision

(i) In the event that there is a deadlock on any
issue within the authority of the Management Board as to which the independent
member would be authorized to break the deadlock, and at that time there is not
an independent member (or for any reason the independent member does not break
such deadlock), either party may apply to the AAA to appoint an individual, in
accordance with the rules of the AAA who will act in the capacity of independent
member solely for the purpose of breaking such deadlock and resolving such
issue. Prior to making such application, a party will provide to the other party
ten (10) days' advance written notice of its intent to do so. During such ten
(10) day period, the parties will use their good faith best efforts to resolve
such issue in a meeting between the chief executive officer of Cerus and the
highest ranking officer of Xxxxxx, Fenwal Division or comparable successor
division or entity, or failing such resolution, to agree upon appointment of an
independent member. Each party will in all cases cooperate in providing the
independent member such information as the independent member may request in
considering any matter.
(ii) With respect to any issue that is not within the
authority of the Management Board to resolve or with respect to which the
independent member is not authorized to break the deadlock, other than an issue
concerning S59 FFP on which the Cerus representatives are entitled to cast the
deciding vote, then the matter shall be finally settled by arbitration, to be
held in Chicago,
Illinois, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules
of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Any such dispute or controversy
shall be arbitrated before three arbitrators selected in accordance with the
rules of the AAA. The arbitrators' decision shall be final and binding upon the
parties. The parties shall be entitled to full discovery in any such
arbitration. Each party shall bear one half of the cost of such arbitration,
unless the arbitrators otherwise allocate such costs. During the period of any
arbitration, each party shall pay to the other party any amounts that are or
become due and owing to such other party, other than amounts being contested in
good faith in the arbitration.
3.3 REVIEW OF BUDGET, BENCHMARKS; APPROVED PROJECTS. The benchmarks,
budget and timetable for all Projects, other than the S59 FFP Project, will
be reviewable by the Management Board from time-to-time during the
Cooperative Development Work with the intent that the parties move
expeditiously and effectively toward commercialization of any System. Cerus
will inform Xxxxxx from time-to-time of the benchmarks, budget and timetable
for the S59 FFP Project. Xxxxxx commits that for calendar years [...***...]
Xxxxxx will expend on the Platelet Project and the Red Cell Project an
aggregate amount of [...***...] per calendar year, all of which will be
current expenditures for project tasks, except for those limited amounts to
be applied to the accounting category of amortization in each calendar year,
as set forth on the amortization schedule attached as Schedule I to this
Agreement. Unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, such expenditures
will be applied first to [...***...], and next to [...***...] allocated
between such Projects in such amounts as the Management Boards under the
Platelet Agreement and this Agreement shall determine. Such committed amount
will be increased in any calendar year only if, and to the extent, the
combined project budgets approved

by the Management Boards under the Platelet Agreement and for the Red Cell
Project exceed such committed amount for such calendar year. If, for any
reason, such full amount cannot usefully be spent in pursuit of the
[...***...] any amounts not so spent ("Excess Funds") shall be applied to
fund New Technologies selected by the Management Board pursuant to Section
3.8 hereof. If the Management Board determines that any such Excess Funds
cannot usefully be spent on New Technologies selected by the Management Board
pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof, such Excess Funds shall be released from the
funding commitment of this paragraph.
(a) THE RED CELL PROJECT. The Initial Budget for one Project
approved, as of the Effective Date, by the Management Board is the Red Cell
Project, attached hereto as Schedule A-1. The approved budget for 1998 for the
Red Cell Project, as amended, is attached hereto as Schedule A-2. The parties
agree to establish a reasonable budget for subsequent periods for the Red Cell
Project, unless the Management Board determines to discontinue such Project.
Each party shall perform the respective tasks set forth on Schedules A-1 and
A-2, except as the Management Board shall otherwise determine.
(i) All funding of the Red Cell Project was provided
by Cerus, until Regulatory Approval to commence Phase III clinical trials in the
United States or Europe under the Platelet Agreement (the "Platelet Milestone").
Xxxxxx commenced participation as of January 1, 1997, and Xxxxxx shall continue
to participate, in the Red Cell Project in accordance with this Agreement,
including without limitation, the obligation to share fifty percent (50%) of the
costs and expenses of the Cooperative Development Work incurred on or after
January 1, 1997, and to market and sell the Systems for Red Cells developed
under this Agreement; PROVIDED THAT Xxxxxx'x obligation to bear fifty percent
(50%) of the costs and expenses for 1998 is subject to Section 3.3(a)(iii)
hereof. Subsequent to the date of achievement of the Platelet Milestone, Xxxxxx
paid to Cerus, subject to final reconciliation, fifty percent (50%) of the
amount expended by Cerus under the Project budget from January 1, 1997 through
December 31, 1997. Xxxxxx shall pay to Cerus on July 1, 1998, and on each
January 1 and July 1 thereafter, the amount by which Cerus' budgeted
expenditures under the then current Project budget for the then current calendar
year (including amounts budgeted to be expended by Cerus on outside expenses)
exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the budgeted expenditures for such period;
PROVIDED THAT for 1998 such payment obligations will be subject to Section
3.3(a)(iii) hereof. Such excess budgeted expenditures to be paid to Cerus for
any calendar year will be divided between the January 1 payment and the July 1
payment in amounts that approximate the expected excess expenditure levels over
the course of such year, as the parties may agree. Failing such agreement, 50%
of such excess budgeted amount shall be paid on January 1, and 50% shall be paid
on July 1.
(ii) The parties acknowledge that the Platelet
Milestone was achieved on September 30, 1997.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3.3.(a), to the extent the approved budget for 1998 for the Red

14
equal to the Cerus 1998 Excess Expenditures (such amounts being included in
Xxxxxx'x funding commitment pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof), after which the
parties shall equally share the expenses of the Red Cell Project. If there is
for any reason not an approved budget for the Red Cell Project for 1999, Xxxxxx
will fully fund the first expenditures for 1999 under the approved budget for
such other Cerus-Xxxxxx program or programs as Cerus shall designate in an
amount equal to the Cerus 1998 Excess Expenditures. If by July 1, 1999, however,
there is not an approved budget for such other Cerus-Xxxxxx program or programs
that is at least equal to such Excess Expenditures, Xxxxxx will promptly pay to
Cerus one-half of the amount by which the Excess Expenditures exceed the amount
of expenditures to be funded by Xxxxxx under the preceding sentence.
(b) THE S59 FFP PROJECT. The Initial Budget for one Project
approved, as of the Effective Date, by the Management Board is the S59 FFP
Project, attached hereto as Schedule B.
(i) All funding of the S59 FFP Project was provided
by Cerus, until achievement of the Platelet Milestone. Xxxxxx commenced
participation as of January 1, 1997, and Xxxxxx shall continue to participate in
the S59 FFP Project in accordance with this Agreement, including without
limitation, the obligation to share fifty percent (50%) of the costs and
expenses of the Cooperative Development Work incurred on or after January 1,
1997 and through December 31, 1997, and to market and sell the S59 FFP Systems
developed under this Agreement. Following December 31, 1997, Xxxxxx'x obligation
to share costs shall be fixed at One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($1,200,000), Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) of which will be paid on
January 10, 1999 and Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) of which will be
paid on January 10, 2000. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, Cerus
will bear all expenses of the Cooperative Development Work for the S59 FFP
Project after December 31, 1997. Subsequent to the date of achievement of the
Platelet Milestone, Xxxxxx paid to Cerus (subject to final reconciliation) fifty
percent (50%) of the amount expended by Cerus under the Project budget from
January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997.
(ii) The parties acknowledge that the Platelet
Milestone was achieved on September 30, 1997.
(iii) Xxxxxx will supply such support of its
technical personnel as Cerus shall reasonably request from time to time for
development of the S59 FFP System. Cerus shall reimburse Xxxxxx the cost of
providing such support, accounted for on average cost per full time equivalent
basis consistent with Section 3.5(a) hereof; PROVIDED THAT Cerus will be
entitled to a credit against any such costs for expenses incurred by Cerus in
support of the methylene blue project, accounted for in the same manner. Such
expenses will be paid at the time of semi-annual reconciliation pursuant to
Section 3.7(b).
(c) OTHER PROJECTS. The budget for any other project the
parties agree to cooperate on (other than the Red Cell Project and the S59 FFP
Project) shall be approved by the Management Board. Upon the approval of the
Initial Budget for each such project and upon each anniversary of the date
thereof, Xxxxxx shall pay to Cerus, or Cerus shall pay to Xxxxxx, the amount by
which such party's budgeted expenditures under the then current budget for the

15
succeeding twelve-month period (including amounts budgeted to be expended by
such party on outside expenses) exceeds 50% of the total then budgeted
expenditures for such period.
3.4 EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION. During the term of the Cooperative
Development Work, the parties shall exchange all material information developed
pursuant to the Cooperative Development Work including the exchange of Xxxxxx
Know-How and information concerning Xxxxxx Patents and Cerus Know-How and
information concerning Cerus Patents relating to the Field. The exchange shall
occur pursuant to Section 11. The Systems shall embody and use such Cerus
Patents and Cerus Know-How and Xxxxxx Patents and Xxxxxx Know-How as shall be
determined by the Management Board.
3.5 COST SHARING. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
commencing January 1, 1997, Xxxxxx will fund fifty percent (50%) and Cerus will
fund fifty percent (50%) of the Cooperative Development Work with respect to
each Project; PROVIDED THAT Xxxxxx'x obligation to fund Cooperative Development
Work for the S59 FFP Project shall be limited as provided in Section 3.3(b)(i).
Funding shall include all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
Cooperative Development Work. Cost and expenses shall include only those
expenditures made in accordance with Project budgets approved by the Management
Board related to research, development, clinical trials, Regulatory Approval and
other expenses that this Agreement expressly provides shall be subject to cost
sharing; PROVIDED HOWEVER that Management Board approval shall not be required
for S59 FFP Project budgets, except with respect to System Improvements under
Section 5.8. In the event that the funding for the Cooperative Development Work
for any Project, other than the S59 FFP Project, is not shared equally
commencing January 1, 1997, then (except as otherwise provided in Section 12 or
Section 16 hereof) the Revenue Sharing Formula in Section 7.1 for such Project
shall be adjusted such that the percentage of Premium received by a party will
equal the percentage contributed by such party to the sum of (a) the cash
contributed to the Final Project Total Budget commencing January 1, 1997, PLUS
(b) Noncash Contribution to the Project. Capital expenditures for facilities
and/or equipment and capitalized manufacturing start-up costs will not be
included in costs and expenses shared.
(a) Each party shall maintain detailed records which
accurately identify costs and expenses incurred and paid in connection with the
Cooperative Development Work for each specific Project. Except as to expenses
incurred by Cerus after June 30, 1998 on the S59 FFP Project, each party shall
submit this information to the Management Board on the on the last business day
of February for the period ending December 31, and on the last business day of
August for the period ending June 30 (or such alternative dates as the
Management Board may establish) along with an estimate of expenses to be
incurred during the current six months. Expenses internally generated because
tasks are performed by a party's own staff will be accounted for on a uniform
average cost per full time equivalent basis.
(b) All costs with respect to participation on the Management
Board during the Cooperative Development Work, including travel expenses for
meetings and participation on the Management Board, shall be subject to cost
sharing.

3.6 TESTING AND REGULATORY EXPENSES.
(a) TESTING EXPENSES. All expenses incurred in connection with
any testing whose primary function is marketing of the System, rather than
developing the System or obtaining Regulatory Approval of the System, shall be
borne solely by Xxxxxx and shall not be considered expenses subject to cost
sharing, unless the Management Board determines that such expenses should be
considered part of the Cooperative Development Work.
(b) REGULATORY EXPENSES. The Management Board shall determine
the countries in which Regulatory Approval will be sought and the timing of
seeking such Regulatory Approval. All expenses incurred to obtain Regulatory
Approval are expenses subject to cost sharing under Section 3.5 and shall be
part of the Final Project Total Budget, it being understood that Xxxxxx'x
obligation to share expenses for the S59 FFP Project shall be limited as
provided in Section 3.3(b)(i); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that either party may, by
notice given to the other party within thirty (30) days after such Management
Board decision with respect to a particular country, elect to not share in the
costs of Regulatory Approval in not more than five (5) countries outside of
North America and Europe, which will result in an adjustment for each such
country of Final Project Total Budget (as further provided in the definition of
"Final Project Total Budget").
3.7 BUDGET CONTINGENCIES.
(a) EXCEEDING INITIAL BUDGET. If the Management Board
establishes a budget for a new Project, or determines that the budget for an
approved Project within the Field must be increased over the previously
established budget for the Project, then Xxxxxx will fund fifty percent (50%)
and Cerus will fund fifty percent (50%) of the new Project budget or of any
increase in the previously approved budget, excluding any budget for the S59 FFP
Project after June 30, 1998, which shall be funded solely by Cerus. In the event
of any new Project budget or budget increase (excluding for the S59 FFP
Project), however, either party may, by written notice to the other party, elect
to fund less than its full share (50%) of such new Project budget or budget
increase. In such an event, the funding party may, by written notice to the
non-funding party, elect to assume responsibility for the funding of such
unfunded amount, in which event (except as otherwise provided in Section 12 and
Section 16 hereof) the Revenue Sharing Formula in Section 7.1 for such Project
will be adjusted such that the percentage of Premium to be received by a party
will equal the percentage contributed by such party to the sum of (i) the cash
contributed to Final Project Total Budget commencing January 1, 1997 (excluding
1996 carryovers as described in Section 3.5), PLUS (ii) total Noncash
Contribution to the Project.
(b) RECONCILIATION OF EXPENDITURES. Unless otherwise agreed,
the Management Board shall reconcile actual cash outlays and expenses approved
by the Management Board with respect to a Project on a semi-annual basis such
that costs have been incurred in the proportion of fifty percent (50%) by Xxxxxx
and fifty (50%) by Cerus (subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(iii)
hereof and except as provided in Section 3.3(b)(i) hereof with respect S59 FFP),
or such other ratio as is established pursuant to Section 3.7(a). If they are
not in such proportion, Cerus will make a cash payment to Xxxxxx, or Xxxxxx will
make a cash payment to Cerus, in order to achieve such proportion. The payment
shall be made in cash within thirty (30) days following the determination by the
Management Board based upon the reports made pursuant to Section 3.5(a) of this
Agreement.

3.8 NEW TECHNOLOGIES.
(a) In the event either party learns of a possibility to
acquire ownership of, or obtain a license or option to, a technology
(including without limitation any method, Know-How, Invention or composition
of matter)
(i) that might enable or improve a System being
developed under the Agreement, or
(ii) that might form the basis for a new System that
might be developed under this Agreement in the Field,
(a "New Technology") such party will notify the other party of such
possibility, and the Management Board will consider whether to pursue the
acquisition of rights to such New Technology. If the Management Board
determines to pursue the acquisition of rights to such New Technology in the
Field, each party will have the right to become a joint owner of any New
Technology acquired, or joint licensee of any New Technology so licensed,
subject to such party sharing 50% (unless the parties agree in writing to
another percentage) of the cost of acquiring ownership of, or obtaining a
license to, such technology. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Management
Board determines to pursue a New Technology that has use outside the Field,
as well as within the Field, the party who identified such opportunity shall,
unless the parties agree otherwise, have exclusive rights to practice such
New Technology outside the Field, and the other party will be required to
share 50% (unless the parties agree in writing to another percentage) of only
that portion of the cost of acquiring ownership of, or obtaining a license
to, such New Technology that is allocable to its value for use within the
Field. Such allocable value shall be determined by mutual agreement, or
failing such agreement, by arbitration pursuant to Section 3.2(d)(i) hereof.
Any New Technology to which rights are jointly acquired by the parties may be
exploited by either party within the Field solely under, and in accordance
with, the terms (including, without limitation, sharing of development
expenses and revenues) of this Agreement, unless the parties otherwise
expressly agree in writing to other terms.
(b) If the Management Board determines not to pursue the
acquisition of rights in a New Technology, due to the negative vote of the
representatives of one party, the other party (if the representatives of such
party voted in favor of acquiring rights to the New Technology), at its sole
expense, may acquire ownership of, or obtain a license to, such New Technology
and may exploit such New Technology within or outside the Field free of any
obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to pay a reasonable
royalty on the practice of a Joint Invention, as provided in Section 8.6(b)
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of exploitation by one party
shall not be construed to grant any license to any patents or other proprietary
rights of the other party, and the only licenses hereunder that may be practiced
for such purpose are the licenses set forth in Section 8.6.
(c) In addition to the provisions concerning New Technologies
set forth in Sections 3.8(a) and 3.8(b) above, in the event either party
proposes to pursue development or marketing of any product within the Field,
such party will present such proposal to the Management Board, together with a
reasonably detailed business plan and a proposed budget for such project. If the
Management Board determines to pursue such project, such project shall become a
Project under the Cooperative Development Work pursuant to Section 3.3(d) of
this
[ *** ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS
AMENDED.
18
Agreement. If the Management Board determines not to pursue such project, due to
the negative vote of the representatives of one party, the other party (if the
representatives of such party voted in favor of the proposal) may pursue such
project free of any obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the right to pursue such project by one party shall not be construed
to grant any license to any patents or other proprietary rights of the other
party, and the only licenses hereunder that may be practiced for such purpose
are the licenses set forth in Section 8.6.
(d) Without limiting the foregoing, or any other provisions of
this Agreement, each party agrees that in the Approved Project Field, except as
otherwise provided in Sections 3.8(b) and 3.8(c), it will make available
exclusively for the Cooperative Development Work and for embodiment in Systems
(without any consideration other than as provided in this Agreement) any
technology (including without limitation, any method, Know-How or composition of
matter) useful within the Approved Project Field owned or controlled by such
party as of the First Amendment Effective Date or of any time thereafter, and
each party will use reasonable efforts to inform the other party of any such
technology that may reasonably appear useful within the Field. This Section
3.8(d) is not intended to limit or restrict any use or commercialization of any
such technology outside the Approved Project Field.
(e) Each party agrees not to unreasonably delay any vote on a
proposal pursuant to Section 3.8(a) or 3.8(c), nor to withhold or delay approval
of a reasonable budget to pursue any such proposal that is approved by the
Management Board, and each party will provide committed funding for expenditures
in accordance with such budget commencing, unless the parties otherwise agree,
not later than the calendar year following the year in which such proposal is
approved by the Management Board.
3.9 COORDINATION AND FACILITATION OF COMMUNICATIONS. In order to
promote optimum coordination and facilitation of communications, Cerus and
Xxxxxx agree to the placement of a Cerus employee (the "Cerus Employee") at
Xxxxxx'x facility where the Projects are managed, on a full-time basis, or such
lesser amount of time as Cerus makes such person available. Xxxxxx shall provide
suitable office space for the Cerus Employee. Xxxxxx shall inform the Cerus
Employee of meetings (including teleconferenced meetings) relating to the
Cooperative Development Work under this Agreement and the Platelet Agreement
(together with any evaluation or development work relating to New Technologies,
other than any New Technologies that the Management Board elects not to pursue,
the "Pathogen Inactivation Programs") and shall permit the Cerus Employee to
attend such meetings and otherwise to participate on a day-to-day basis in all
issues concerning the Pathogen Inactivation Programs; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Cerus Employee shall not be permitted to attend meetings of Xxxxxx'x board
of directors or senior management team or meetings that are subject to Xxxxxx
attorney-client privilege. The parties do not intend for the Cerus Employee to
have access to any Xxxxxx proprietary information (other than information
relating to the Pathogen Inactivation Programs), and the Cerus Employee shall be
required to sign a Non-Employee Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit J
attached to this Agreement at or prior to the time such person arrives at
Xxxxxx'x facility. Cerus shall exercise complete and exclusive control over the
Cerus Employee's conduct and performance and will pay and/or withhold all wages,
employee benefits, worker's compensation insurance and all applicable federal,
state and local taxes arising out of such employment. Cerus shall ensure that,
while present on Xxxxxx'x property, the Cerus
[ *** ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS

19
Employee shall conform to all Xxxxxx rules and regulations regarding the conduct
of visitors. Cerus shall, at its sole expense, maintain insurance policies
customary with those maintained for Cerus' other employees, which policies shall
cover Cerus and the Cerus Employee under this Agreement, throughout the term of
this Agreement. Any family relocation and lodging expenses incurred by Cerus for
the Cerus Employee will not be subject to cost sharing hereunder.
4. EQUITY PURCHASE.
4.1 XXXXXX PURCHASE OF EQUITY IN CERUS. Xxxxxx shall purchase equity in
Cerus according to the following terms and schedule:
(a) Either purchase five million dollars ($5,000,000.00 U.S.)
of Cerus equity upon the occurrence of both:
(i) with respect to the Platelet Project, the receipt
of both (a) in the United States, F.D.A. approval to commence Phase III trials
and (b) in Europe, approval from a governmental authority to commence Phase III
trials (Xxxxx xxxxx), and
(ii) the filing of an Investigational New Drug
application ("IND") or Investigational Device Exemption ("IDE") or equivalent
with the F.D.A. to begin a Phase I study under the Red Cell Project, or
comparable filing in Europe under such Project (the "Tranche 3 Milestone")
or, at Cerus' election, purchase two million dollars ($2,000,000 U.S.) of Cerus
equity upon the receipt of both (i) in the United States, F.D.A. approval to
commence Phase III trials under the Platelet Project and (ii) in Europe,
approval from a governmental authority to commence Phase III trials (Xxxxx
xxxxx) under the Platelet Project (the "Tranche 3a Milestone") and purchase
three million dollars ($3,000,000 U.S.) upon the approval of an IND or IDE or
equivalent by the F.D.A. or CE Xxxx or equivalent approval in Europe under the
Red Cell Project (the "Tranche 3b Milestone") consisting of Common Stock at a
purchase price equal to open market price plus twenty percent (20%) if Cerus is
publicly traded at the time of such purchase or, if then privately held,
Preferred Stock at the lesser of (i) twenty-five dollars and ten cents ($25.10
U.S.) per share or (ii) fifty percent (50%) premium over last private
third-party financing round PROVIDED THAT this clause (ii) shall apply only if
there has been a third-party private financing round of at least five million
dollars ($5,000,000) since the date of the last equity purchase by Xxxxxx
pursuant to this Section 4.1. Such purchase will be consummated and the purchase
price paid not later than within fifteen (15) days after such Tranche 3
Milestone, Tranche 3a Milestone or Tranche 3b Milestone, as the case may be. The
purchase price stated in clause (i) above, however, shall be increased from
$25.10 to twenty-seven dollars ($27.00 U.S.) if both the Tranche 3a Milestone
and Tranche 3b Milestone are achieved by January 31, 1998. If a closing under
this Section 4.1 has previously occurred at the $25.10 price, the price per
share shall be retroactively increased to $27.00, and Xxxxxx shall promptly make
an additional payment to Cerus to yield an effective price of $27.00 per share
on such purchase. For the purposes of this Section, the "Platelet Interim
Determination" means the point in the clinical trials under the Platelet
Agreement set forth on Schedule C to this Agreement. As used in this Section
4.1, "open market" means the average closing price of the Cerus stock, as
reported in the Wall Street Journal, for the thirty (30) trading days prior to
and including the trading day that is two (2) trading days prior to the date
[ *** ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS
AMENDED.
20
the purchase is consummated. A "trading day" is a day when the Cerus stock may
be traded on the relevant exchange or over the counter.
(b) The purchase prices set forth above in Subsection (a),
excluding prices set by open market price, will be appropriately adjusted for
stock splits, stock dividends and the like.
(c) The purchases of equity set forth above will be made in
accordance with an agreement substantially in the form of the Stock Purchase
Agreement in the form of Schedule G to this Agreement, with appropriate changes
to reflect share price, class and series of stock being purchased and to make
accurate representations and warranties as of the date of the subsequent equity
purchases; such changes shall not affect the equity purchase and sale
obligations hereunder. While it is anticipated that the parties will separately
execute and deliver such Stock Purchase Agreements and associated documents for
subsequent equity purchases, the obligation to purchase and sell equity as set
forth in this Section are enforceable obligations upon the signing of this
Agreement irrespective of whether there is a separate execution and delivery of
such Stock Purchase Agreements and associated documents. It is understood that
from and after the date of Cerus' initial public offering or other conversion of
Cerus' outstanding Preferred Stock to Common Stock, the shares purchased
hereunder will be shares of Cerus Common Stock. Prior to such time, the shares
purchased hereunder will be shares of Cerus Preferred Stock. Cerus will use
reasonable efforts to provide Xxxxxx fifteen (15) days prior notice of the
expected date of achievement of milestones under Subsection (a).
(d) Notwithstanding Subsection (a) above, in the event that
any purchase of equity pursuant to such subsection would cause Xxxxxx to own in
excess of twenty and one-tenth percent (20.1%) of issued and outstanding voting
capital stock of Cerus, Cerus may limit such purchase of equity by Xxxxxx to a
number of shares of voting capital stock that would cause Xxxxxx to own not more
than twenty and one-tenth percent (20.1%) of such issued and outstanding voting
capital stock. Notwithstanding Subsection (a) above, in the event that Xxxxxx at
any time owns in excess of twenty and one-tenth (20.1%) of the issued and
outstanding voting capital stock of Cerus, Cerus may limit Xxxxxx'x further
purchases of voting capital stock pursuant to such subsection. Nothing in this
clause (d) will limit or restrict Xxxxxx'x right to convert the Special
Preferred Stock in accordance with its terms.
(e) Notwithstanding Subsection (a) above, in the event that
any purchase pursuant to such subsection would cause Xxxxxx to own in excess of
nineteen and nine-tenths percent (19.9%) of issued and outstanding voting
capital stock of Cerus, Xxxxxx may limit such purchase of equity to a number of
shares of capital stock that would cause Xxxxxx to own not more than nineteen
and nine-tenths percent (19.9%) of the issued and outstanding voting capital
stock of Cerus; PROVIDED THAT in each such instance, upon the written request of
Cerus, Xxxxxx shall pay to Cerus as a research and development payment an amount
equal to the difference between five million dollars ($5,000,000 U.S.) and the
dollar amount of capital stock being purchased. Such research and development
payment will be made to Cerus on the date for consummation of purchase of such
capital stock. Unless Cerus notifies Xxxxxx, as set forth below, that Cerus
elects to repay to Xxxxxx the amount of such research and development payment,
such research and development payment will be treated as if Xxxxxx had made an
additional contribution of cash to the Final Project Total Budget for the
purposes of the fourth sentence of Section 3.5 (allocated among then ongoing
Projects (except for the S59 FFP Project)
[ *** ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS
AMENDED.
21
in proportion to the size of the then approved budget for each Project). (Such
research and development payment shall not, however, change the actual approved
budget for any Project nor Cerus' contribution thereto.) Cerus must notify
Xxxxxx in writing at the time of such research and development payment whether
or not Cerus elects to repay to Xxxxxx the amount of such research and
development payment. If Cerus notifies Xxxxxx that Cerus elects to repay such
amount, Cerus will, if such amount is not earlier repaid, pay to Xxxxxx fifty
percent (50%) of the Revenue Sharing Payments received by Cerus hereunder, until
such amount is repaid. In the event that Xxxxxx makes any such research and
development payment to Cerus pursuant to this subsection (e), Cerus will grant
to Xxxxxx a warrant to purchase capital stock of Cerus on the following terms:
(i) the exercise price will be the price per share to Xxxxxx established under
Subsection (a) above (I.E., the subsection applicable to the then current Xxxxxx
equity purchase); (ii) the term of the warrant shall extend until two (2) years
following Market Launch (as defined in the Platelet Agreement) in the U.S. or
Europe of the first product developed under the Platelet Agreement, but not to
exceed seven (7) years from the date such research and development payment was
made, subject to earlier termination in the event of merger or acquisition of
Cerus; and (iii) the number of shares subject to the warrant shall be equal to
ten percent (10%) times the amount of such research and development payment
divided by such exercise price. The number of shares subject to the warrant will
be appropriately adjusted from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends
and the like. Repayment of the amount of the research and development payment
will not terminate the warrant.
4.2 STANDSTILL BY XXXXXX. Xxxxxx agrees that it will not at any time,
nor will it permit any of its Affiliates to, without the prior written consent
of Cerus:
(a)
(i) acquire, directly or indirectly, by purchase or
otherwise, of record or beneficially, other than by the transactions set forth
in Section 4.1 of this Agreement or conversion of the Special Preferred Stock,
any securities of Cerus or rights or options to acquire any securities from any
holder of such securities if after such acquisition (and giving effect to the
exercise of any such rights or options) Xxxxxx and its Affiliates would own
capital stock of Cerus having twenty and one-tenth percent (20.1%) or more of
the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of Cerus; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that subsequent reductions in the number of shares of outstanding voting capital
stock of Cerus (or rights or options therefor) shall not be deemed to have
caused a violation of this Section 4.2(a).
(ii) To the extent Xxxxxx and/or its Affiliates owns,
beneficially or of record, securities of Cerus constituting twenty and one-tenth
percent (20.1%) or more of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of
Cerus and such securities include securities of Cerus other than those purchased
pursuant to Section 4.1, Xxxxxx and/or its Affiliates shall be deemed to own
"Prohibited Securities." By way of example, to the extent that exercise of the
conversion rights of the Special Preferred Stock might cause Xxxxxx to own
twenty and one tenth percent (20.1%) or more of the voting power of the
outstanding capital stock of Cerus, the shares received on exercise of such
conversion rights would be "Prohibited Securities" to the extent of such excess.
Xxxxxx agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall (and neither it
nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to) vote any Prohibited Securities
with respect to any matter subject to the vote or written consent of Cerus'
stockholders (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall

22
not be deemed to limit Cerus' remedies in the event that the Prohibited
Securities were acquired in violation of this Section);
(iii) Xxxxxx hereby covenants and agrees that it will
provide written notice to Cerus of any purchase, sale or other acquisition or
disposition, on the open market or in private transactions, by Xxxxxx or any of
its Affiliates of any securities of Cerus (or if Xxxxxx or such Affiliates shall
direct any third party to take any such actions on behalf of Xxxxxx or such
Affiliates). Such notice shall be transmitted to Cerus by facsimile (with
telephonic notice) within three (3) business days after any such transaction on
the open market or within ten (10) business days after any such private
transaction, and shall specify the person or entity effecting the transaction,
the date of such transaction, the number of securities and the price per
security with respect to such transaction;
(b) solicit proxies with respect to any securities of Cerus
under any circumstances for change in the directors or management of Cerus or
relating to merger or acquisition of the Company or deposit any securities of
Cerus in a voting trust or subject them to a voting agreement or other agreement
of similar effect (other than subjecting shares owned by Xxxxxx to a revocable
proxy);
(c) initiate, propose or otherwise solicit any stockholder for
the approval of one or more stockholder proposals at any time, or induce or
attempt to induce any other person to initiate any stockholder proposal for
change in the directors or management of Cerus or relating to merger or
acquisition of the Company; or
(d) take any action individually or jointly with any
partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group or assist any other
person, corporation, entity or group in taking any action it could not take
individually under the terms of this Section 4.2.
The preceding provisions of this Section 4.2 shall terminate in the
event (i) any Person (defined below) or 13D Group (defined below) other than an
Affiliate of Xxxxxx) shall have commenced a tender offer for a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including any other outstanding voting
securities) of Cerus or (ii) Cerus' Board of Directors (the "Board") shall
determine to (A) approve any transaction set forth in clause (i) immediately
preceding, (B) liquidate Cerus or sell all or substantially all of the assets of
Cerus to another person, (C) approve a merger or consolidation of Cerus with any
other person that would result in the voting securities of Cerus outstanding
immediately prior thereto continuing to represent less than a majority of the
combined voting power of the voting securities of Cerus or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or (D) sell to any
person a majority of Cerus' outstanding voting securities. In the event of any
determination by the Board pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (ii),
Cerus shall notify Xxxxxx at least 15 days prior to the final approval of such
transaction, and any such Board determination shall be conditioned upon the
notification by Cerus of Xxxxxx in compliance with this sentence. For purposes
of this Section 4.2, a "13D Group" means any group formed for the purpose of
acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of securities of Cerus that would be
required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, to file a statement
on Schedule 13D with the (United States Securities Exchange Commission) as a
"Person" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act if such
group beneficially owned sufficient securities to require such a filing. All of
the provisions of

23
this Section 4.2 shall be reinstated and shall apply in full force according to
their terms in the event that: (x) if the preceding provisions of this Section
4.2 shall have terminated as a result of a tender offer, such tender offer (as
originally made or as extended or modified) shall have terminated (without
closing) prior to the commencement of a tender offer by Xxxxxx or any of its
Affiliates that would have been permitted to be made pursuant to the preceding
provisions of this paragraph as a result of such third-party tender offer, (y)
any tender offer by Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates (as originally made or as
extended or modified) that was permitted to be made pursuant to the preceding
provisions of this paragraph shall have terminated (without closing), or (z) if
the preceding provisions of this Section 4.2 shall have terminated as a result
of a Board determination referred to in the preceding clause (ii), the Board
shall have determined not to take any of such actions (and no such transaction
considered by the Board shall have closed) prior to the commencement of a tender
offer by Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates that would have been permitted to be
made pursuant to the preceding provisions of this paragraph as a result of the
initial Board determination referred to in the preceding clause (ii), unless
prior to such Board determination not to take any of such actions, any of the
events described in the preceding clause (i) shall have occurred. Upon
reinstatement of the provisions of this Section 4.2, the preceding provisions of
this paragraph shall continue to govern (including, without limitation, those
that provide for the termination of the preceding provisions of this Section
4.2) in the event that any of the events described in the preceding clauses (i)
or (ii) shall occur. Upon the closing of any tender offer for, or acquisition by
Xxxxxx or its Affiliates of, any securities of Cerus or rights or options to
acquire any such securities that would have been prohibited by the preceding
provisions of this Section 4.2 but for the provisions of this paragraph, all
provisions of this Section 4.2 shall terminate.
5. SUPPLY OF CERUS COMPOUND AND SYSTEM MANUFACTURING.
5.1 CERUS RESPONSIBILITIES. Cerus shall at all times use commercially
reasonable efforts to supply, or have supplied, Xxxxxx'x demand for the Cerus
Compounds and New Technology Compounds that the Management Board determines are

6. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS: EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS.
6.1 COMMERCIALIZATION. Xxxxxx shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to market and sell Systems developed under this Agreement in those countries of
the world in which the Management Board determines that such Systems should be
marketed and sold. The parties agree that it is desirable to obtain a
distribution partner in Japan for S59 FFP Systems and agree to cooperate to
obtain such distribution partner. A distribution partner for S59 FFP Systems in
Japan obtained through such cooperative efforts is referred to herein as a JOINT
JAPAN FFP DISTRIBUTION PARTNER. In the event that any agreement is arranged with
a Joint Japan FFP Distribution Partner, or otherwise with a distribution partner
in Japan, Cerus will have the right to retain any up-front or milestone payments
paid by such party for distribution rights for S59 FFP Systems. In the event
that a Joint Japan FFP Distribution Partner is not obtained through such
cooperation on or before [ *** ], Cerus shall have the right to terminate
any sales or distribution rights of Xxxxxx with respect to S59 FFP Systems in

6.2 MEETINGS CONCERNING MARKETING. The Management Board shall meet from
time-to-time to discuss and approve marketing strategies in order to optimize
customer acceptance and effective promotion of each System. All final plans and
strategies regarding System marketing, distribution and pricing shall be
established by the Management Board reasonably and in good faith. Xxxxxx shall
follow the plans and strategies established by the Management Board. The
Management Board will review the marketing plans and strategies, including
pricing, from time to time in the light of market conditions. Day-to-day
marketing and sales decisions will not be made by the Management Board; Xxxxxx
will be responsible to make day-to-day marketing and sales decisions using its
best efforts to maximize Net Sales in the interest of both parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Xxxxxx and Cerus
will not discuss marketing, distribution or pricing of products in any country
if Xxxxxx and Cerus are marketing, or have plans to market, competing products
in such country.
6.3 EXCLUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. The parties acknowledge that, except as
permitted under Sections 3.8(b) and 3.8(c), the relationship established by this
Agreement shall be the sole vehicle for exploitation by either party of products
and services in the Field. Accordingly, each party agrees that, except as
permitted under Sections 3.8(b) and (c), it will not research, develop or market
inactivation/decontamination products or services in the Field, including
without limitation products which compete indirectly or directly with the
Systems developed and marketed under this Agreement, except under and in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The foregoing sentence shall not in
any event, however, prevent either party from independently investigating or
researching New Technology to the extent reasonably necessary for presentation
of such New Technology to the Management Board under Paragraph 3.8(a).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or
restrict Xxxxxx from independently developing and marketing systems for
inactivation of pathogens in FFP using methylene blue.
6.4 COMPETING PRODUCTS. In the event Xxxxxx markets within a specific
country or territory an inactivation/decontamination product that competes
directly with a specific system developed under this Agreement, Xxxxxx'x rights
under this Agreement shall become co-exclusive with Cerus, or in the case of S59
FFP Systems may be terminated by Cerus, for the specific System in that specific
country or territory only, allowing Cerus to market, sell and

distribute the System itself within the specific country or territory or, if
Cerus chooses, through a single Approved Distributor or Approved Distributors
within the specific country or territory. The sharing of Premium shall be
adjusted according to Section 7.3. With respect to S59 FFP Systems, Cerus will
notify Xxxxxx upon receipt of Regulatory Approval of an S59 FFP System in any
country. Xxxxxx will notify Cerus in writing within ninety (90) days after
receipt by Xxxxxx of notice of Regulatory Approval of an S59 FFP System in a
country whether or not Xxxxxx intends to distribute the S59 FFP System in such
country. If Xxxxxx is then selling a competing system based on methylene blue in
such country, Xxxxxx will have one year from the date receipt by Xxxxxx of
notice of such Regulatory Approval to cease selling such methylene blue-based
system in such country. If Xxxxxx ceases within such period to sell such
methylene blue-based system in such country, the first sentence of this Section
shall not apply with respect to Xxxxxx'x distribution rights in such country.
6.5 COMMENCEMENT, CESSATION OF MARKETING. If (a) according to the
Management Board, Xxxxxx (through its own efforts or those of its distributors)
has not marketed a specific System within a specific country or territory
following Market Launch within a reasonable time, but not less than one year nor
more than three years from Market Launch, or (b) after commencement of marketing
of a specific System in a particular country or territory, Xxxxxx shall cease
marketing (or be prevented from marketing by governmental action concerning
Xxxxxx) of such System in such country or territory in the manner required under
this Agreement, Cerus shall have exclusive rights to market that specific System
in that specific country or territory only, allowing Cerus to market, sell and
distribute the System itself within the specific country or territory, or if
Cerus chooses, through an Approved Distributor or Approved Distributors within
the specific country or territory. The sharing of Premium shall be adjusted
according to Section 7.3. If, according to the Management Board, Cerus (through
its own efforts or those of its distributors) has failed to gain a sufficient
market share for a particular System within a specific country or territory
within three (3) years after Cerus has obtained marketing rights in such country
or territory, or to gain or maintain sufficient market share in such country at
any time thereafter, or has ceased marketing of a specific System (other than
S59 FFP Systems) in any country or territory, Cerus' rights under this Agreement
shall become co-exclusive with Xxxxxx, for that specific System in that specific
country or territory, allowing Xxxxxx to market, sell and distribute the System
itself within the specific country or territory or, if Xxxxxx chooses, through a
single Approved Distributor or Approved Distributors within the specific country
or territory.
6.6 ACHIEVEMENT OF MARKET SHARE. If, according to the Management Board,
Xxxxxx (through its own efforts and those of its distributors) has not gained a
sufficient market share for a particular System within a specific country or
territory within three (3) years following Market Launch, or has not gained or
maintained sufficient market share in such country at any time thereafter,
Xxxxxx'x rights under this Agreement shall become co-exclusive with Cerus, or in
the case of S59 FFP Systems may be terminated by Cerus, for that specific System
in that specific country or territory, allowing Cerus to market, sell and
distribute the System itself within the specific country or territory or, if
Cerus chooses, through a single Approved Distributor or Approved Distributors
within the specific country or territory. The sharing of Premium shall be
adjusted according to Section 7.3.

6.7 SUPPLY OF XXXXXX GOODS. Xxxxxx shall provide the necessary Xxxxxx
disposables, Blood Pack Units(R), Instruments, Xxxxxx Compounds, New Technology
Compounds that the Management Board determines will be provided by Xxxxxx, and
other components necessary for Cerus, or Cerus' Approved Distributor, to sell
Systems under Sections 6.1, 6.5 and 6.6. Cerus shall forecast its needs for such
Xxxxxx disposables, apheresis kits, Blood Pack Unit(R), Instruments, Xxxxxx
Compounds, New Technology Compounds that the Management Board determines shall
be supplied by Xxxxxx, and other components under Sections 6.1, 6.5 and 6.6.
Xxxxxx'x Cost of Goods/Base Revenue under this section shall be reimbursed under
Section 7.3, except with respect to Instruments, as provided in this Section.
Xxxxxx shall not, however, be obligated to develop, reconfigure, modify, qualify
or seek Regulatory approval for any disposables, apheresis kits, Blood Pack
Units(R), Instruments, Xxxxxx Compounds, New Technology Compounds that the
Management Board determines shall be supplied by Xxxxxx, or other components
supplied to Cerus or Cerus' Approved Distributor under this Section. If Cerus
distributes S59 FFP Systems in any country, Cerus will be responsible in such
country for placement with customers of Instruments that are solely for use with
S59 FFP Systems. Cerus will pay to Xxxxxx [...***...] if such Instruments are
manufactured by a third-party supplier, or [...***...] if such Instruments are
manufactured by Xxxxxx. In the event Cerus terminates Xxxxxx'x distribution
rights for S59 FFP Systems with respect to a particular country, and Cerus or
another distributor takes over distribution of such Systems, Cerus will purchase
from Xxxxxx any Instruments owned by Xxxxxx and placed with customers in such
country solely for use with S59 FFP Systems, and Cerus will pay Xxxxxx'x book
value for any such Instruments.
6.8 REQUALIFICATION. In the event Cerus obtains distribution rights
under Section 6.1, 6.5, 6.6, 12 or 16, or in the event Xxxxxx does not supply
sufficient goods under Section 6.7 to meet Cerus' needs (without limiting
Xxxxxx'x obligation to supply such goods) Cerus may, or may license third
parties to, make, have made, use, sell and have sold products using the Cerus
Compounds, Xxxxxx Compounds or New Technology Compounds, or under the Cerus
Patents or Cerus Know-How or patents or know-how pertaining to New Technology to
which rights have been acquired pursuant to Section 3.8, and under any patents
or know-how under which Cerus is licensed pursuant to Section 8.5(b) and Section
8.6 hereof, for the use and in the particular country or countries for which
Cerus has distribution rights, PROVIDED THAT such products are qualified for
regulatory approval on Cerus' or such third party's own system.
6.9 MANAGEMENT BOARD ACCESS TO AND REVIEW OF MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
INFORMATION. A party marketing and distributing products under this Agreement
will provide to the Management Board all information in such party's possession
as the Management Board may reasonably require from time to time to review and
make decisions concerning marketing and distribution, including without
limitation breakdown and substantiation of any data provided pursuant to Section
13 of this Agreement. If the information requested of a party is information
that is not normally collected by the party, and requires substantial additional
expense of such party to collect and provide, such additional expense shall be
borne equally by the parties.
6.10 XXXXXX TERMINATION OF DISTRIBUTION FOR S59 FFP SYSTEMS. Xxxxxx may
elect upon twenty-four (24) months' prior written notice to Cerus to terminate
Xxxxxx'x right and obligation to distribute S59 FFP Systems in a particular
country, provided that after receipt of such notice, Cerus may earlier terminate
such right and obligation in such country.

6.11 XXXXXX TERMINATION OF SUPPLY OF GOODS FOR S59 FFP SYSTEMS. In
the event that Xxxxxx'x distribution rights for S59 FFP Systems terminate for
any reason, Xxxxxx may thereafter elect upon [...***...] months' prior
written notice to terminate its right and obligation to supply goods to Cerus
pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof. Xxxxxx will provide reasonable assistance
during such [...***...] month period to assist Cerus to make the transition
to another supplier or suppliers. In addition, Xxxxxx will continue, even
after such [...***...] month period, to supply components that Cerus is
unable to obtain from third parties due to Xxxxxx proprietary rights or that
are required to maintain regulatory validation for the Cerus S59 FFP Systems;
such components will be supplied by Xxxxxx at [...***...] for such
components. Cerus will use due diligence to seek regulatory validation of
substitute components during such [...***...] month period. Following such
termination, Xxxxxx shall cease to receive any Revenue Sharing Payments with
respect to S59 FFP Systems.
6.12 CERUS TERMINATION OF XXXXXX MANUFACTURING RIGHTS FOR S59 FFP
SYSTEMS. In the event that, during the scale-up or manufacturing stages for the
S59 FFP Project, Cerus unilaterally terminates the S59 FFP Project or Xxxxxx'x
manufacturing rights and obligations for S59 FFP Systems, other than for breach
of this Agreement by Xxxxxx, then during the period between receipt by Xxxxxx of
Cerus' notice of intent to terminate and the actual date of termination, Xxxxxx
will use its best efforts, in consultation with Cerus, to reduce inventory and
limit commitments to suppliers and to wind down such operations. Following the
actual date of termination, Cerus will pay to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx'x out of pocket
costs with respect to raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods
purchased or ordered on non-cancellable orders that cannot be disposed of or
used for other purposes, and Xxxxxx will convey title to such goods to Cerus.
Cerus will also pay to Xxxxxx reasonable wind-down costs of Xxxxxx personnel
that were engaged by Xxxxxx solely to carry out such activities and who cannot
be reassigned to other duties at Xxxxxx. Such personnel costs shall not exceed
two weeks salary and benefits for any such individual. At Cerus' request, Xxxxxx
will provide to Cerus books and records reflecting any costs for which Xxxxxx is
seeking reimbursement under this Section.
6.13 CERUS TERMINATION OF DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS FOR S59 FFP SYSTEMS.
In the event that following Market Launch for the S59 FFP Project, Cerus
unilaterally terminates Xxxxxx'x distribution rights hereunder with respect
to S59 FFP Systems, other than for breach of this Agreement by Xxxxxx, Cerus
will provide Xxxxxx not less than [...***...] months written notice of such
termination. During such period, the parties will cooperate to sell any
inventory held by Xxxxxx. At the end of such period, Cerus will purchase any
inventory that has an acceptable shelf life at a purchase price equal to
Xxxxxx'x Cost of Goods. Cerus will be entitled to credit such purchase price
against any Cerus obligation under Section 7.3 hereof to Xxxxxx arising from
Cerus' sale of inventory. At Cerus' request, Xxxxxx will provide to Cerus
books and records reflecting any costs for which Xxxxxx is seeking
reimbursement under this Section. In the event that agreements with customers
entered into prior to receipt of such Cerus notice of termination have
contractual commitments to customers extending beyond the termination date,
Cerus shall, at its election on a customer-by-customer basis, (a) permit
Xxxxxx to continue to supply S59 FFP Systems to such customer beyond the
termination date, (b) assume Xxxxxx'x supply obligations under such
contractual commitments, or (c) pay any penalties owing to the customer to
terminate such contractual commitments.

7. REVENUE SHARING.
7.1 REVENUE SHARING PAYMENTS. In consideration of the Cooperative
Development Work to be undertaken and other obligations set forth herein, the
parties agree to share Net Sales as follows: Subject to the provisions of
Sections 3.5, 3.7(a), 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 12, no later than sixty (60) days after
the first and all subsequent calendar quarters following the Market Launch of
the System, (a) Xxxxxx shall pay to Cerus, with respect to Net Sales in such
calendar quarter, a sum equal to: (1) Cerus' Cost of Goods/Base Revenue; and (2)
fifty percent (50%) (or such other percentage as is established pursuant to
Section 3.5 hereof) for all products other than S59 FFP Systems, and
Seventy-Five percent (75%) for S59 FFP Systems, of the Premium during such
calendar quarter ("Revenue Sharing Payments"), and (b) Xxxxxx shall retain for
itself the balance of the proceeds of Net Sales of Systems shipped during such
Calendar Quarter. On each such date a party that has received in such calendar
quarter a royalty, license fee or other consideration for licensing or
sublicensing rights hereunder shall pay to the other party the amount due to
such party under Section 7.4. The Revenue Sharing Payments due and payable
hereunder shall be computed for each calendar quarter in the currency in which
the sale was made, but shall be definitively discharged by payment to Cerus in
U.S. dollars converted from such currency using the average of spot rates for
such currency for the last business day of the second and third months of such
quarter and of the first month of the subsequent quarter, as quoted in the Wall
Street Journal (or such other mutually agreeable financial publication of
international circulation or rates published by Xxxxxx'x corporate treasury, if
mutually agreed).
7.2 XXXXXX SOURCING CERUS COMPOUNDS. In the event Xxxxxx sources the
Cerus Compounds from an alternate source, Xxxxxx shall retain for itself the
Cost of Goods/Base Revenue for the Cerus Compounds in the Systems shipped during
such calendar duration.
7.3 CERUS AS SELLER OF SYSTEMS. In the event Cerus, or an Approved
Distributor appointed by Cerus, is the seller of the Systems under Sections 6.1,
6.5, 6.6 or Section 12, Cerus shall retain for itself its Cost of Goods/Base
Revenue, and the Marketing and Administrative Expenses, and pay to Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxx'x Cost of Goods/Base Revenue and the percentage of Premium received by
each of the parties will equal the percentage contributed by such party to the
sum of (a) cash contributed to the Final Project Total Budget, PLUS (b) Noncash
Contribution to the Project, PROVIDED THAT for the purposes of computations
under this Section, Xxxxxx'x Noncash Contribution shall be reduced by (i) fifty
percent (50%) if such sales are made pursuant to Section 6.6, or (ii) by
seventy-five percent (75%) if such sales are made pursuant to Section 6.1, 6.5,
or Section 12. In the event that Cerus purchases any components from Xxxxxx, as
provided in Section 6.7, Xxxxxx'x share of the Premium split shall be not less
than fifty percent (50%) of Xxxxxx'x Cost of Goods for such components, except
with respect to Instruments, as provided in Section 6.7. For the purpose of
clarification, with respect to S59 FFP Systems, expenditures by Cerus and
unreimbursed expenditures by Xxxxxx after December 31, 1997 will be considered
part of such party's cash contribution to the S59 FFP Final Project Total
Budget.
7.4 LICENSING OF RIGHTS ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. In the event
either Cerus (pursuant to Section 6.8 hereof) or Xxxxxx (pursuant to Section 8.4
hereof) or Cerus and Xxxxxx jointly (pursuant to a determination of the
Management Board) licenses or sublicenses to a third party rights arising under
this Agreement, all royalties, license fees and other consideration received
from such licensing or sublicensing (excluding research or development payments)

shall be shared by the parties according to the percentage of the sum of (a)
funding by each party in the Final Project Total Budget (or such lesser amount
as shall have been expended by Xxxxxx and Cerus to enable the parties to license
or sublicense the rights hereunder and to comply with their development
obligations under the license or sublicense agreement), PLUS (b) Noncash
Contribution to such Project made by each party, PROVIDED THAT for the purposes
of this Section, Cerus' and Xxxxxx'x Noncash Contributions will be equitably
adjusted to reflect the relative contribution of Cerus Patents and Cerus
Know-How and Xxxxxx Patents and Xxxxxx Know-How to the rights being licensed or
sublicensed, but in all events Xxxxxx'x Noncash Contribution shall be reduced by
not less than seventy-five percent (75%). In the event such license or
sublicense to a third party is solely to rights to a New Technology acquired
jointly by Xxxxxx and Cerus pursuant to Section 3.8(a), and not to rights with
respect to any Cooperative Development Work, Xxxxxx and Cerus shall share
equally, or in such other proportion as Xxxxxx and Cerus shall agree, all
royalties, license fees and other consideration received from such licensing or
sublicensing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cerus will not have any obligation
to pay any royalty, license fee or other consideration with respect to any
licensing by Cerus to third parties pursuant to the rights of Cerus under
Section 8.5(a) of this Agreement.
7.5 DISTRIBUTOR SALES. In the event that either party sells
Inactivation Packages or Integrated Inactivation Sets through a distributor,
other than sales by Cerus of such products for S59 FFP, Net Sales shall be
computed as set forth in paragraph (c) of the definition of Net Sales, and the
Distributor Portion will not diminish the Revenue Sharing Payment receivable by
the other party.
8. PATENTS, KNOW-HOW, LICENSE GRANTS.
8.1 CERUS SOLE OWNERSHIP. Any Cerus Project Inventions shall be
assigned to and owned by Cerus.
8.2 BAXTER SOLE OWNERSHIP. Any Baxter Project Inventions shall be
assigned to and owned by Xxxxxx.
8.3 JOINT OWNERSHIP.
(a) Cerus and Xxxxxx each agrees to take all reasonable steps
to maximize the opportunity for patent protection of inventions made in the
course of this Agreement, including, without limitation, inventions that are
improvements of inventions covered by the Xxxxxx Patents and Cerus Patents.
(b) Joint Inventions shall be assigned to and owned by Xxxxxx
and Cerus jointly, except as set forth below in this Section 8.3(b).
(i) Those inventions which would be
unpatentable, under 35 U.S.C. Section 103,
over Cerus-owned patents or patent
applications that qualify as prior art
solely under 35 U.S.C. Section 102(f) or 35
U.S.C. Section 102(g) (other than patents or
patent applications commonly owned by Cerus
and Xxxxxx) shall be owned by, and are
hereby deemed assigned to, Cerus.

31
(ii) Those inventions which would be
unpatentable, under 35 U.S.C. Section 103,
over Xxxxxx-owned patents or patent
applications that qualify as prior art
solely under 35 U.S.C. Section 102(f) or 35
U.S.C. Section 102(g) (other than patents or
patent applications commonly owned by Xxxxxx
and Cerus) shall be owned by, and are hereby
deemed assigned to, Xxxxxx.
(c) The parties agree that any Joint Invention previously
assigned under the terms of this Agreement as in effect prior to the First
Amendment Effective Date shall be re-assigned in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement as amended and restated on the First Amendment Effective Date.
(d) Any Contractor Inventions of which either Xxxxxx or Cerus
gains ownership shall be considered Joint Inventions with ownership assigned as
provided in Section 8.3(b), irrespective of whether the contract with the
Contractor specifies Xxxxxx or Cerus, or Xxxxxx and Cerus jointly, as the
assignee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any Contractor Inventions reading on S59 FFP
Systems will be assigned to and solely owned by Cerus, unless such Contractor
Inventions read on both S59 Systems and systems developed under the Platelet
Agreement, in which case ownership of such Contractor Inventions will be
assigned as provided in the Platelet Agreement. Each party agrees to execute
such additional documents as may be necessary to evidence or effectuate such
ownership or assignment. To the extent any such contract conveys any rights by
license, the recipient of such license rights (whether Cerus or Xxxxxx) will use
its best efforts to obtain the right to assign an equal interest in, or
sublicense, such rights to the other party, and if obtained, such rights shall
be granted to the other party. If for any reason, such rights to equal interest
or sublicense can not be obtained, Cerus and Xxxxxx will nonetheless arrange
between themselves for Cerus and Xxxxxx to share the benefits of such rights in
a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The parties agree that any
Contractor Invention previously assigned under the terms of this Agreement that
were in effect prior to the First Amendment Effective Date shall be re-assigned
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as amended and restated on the
First Amendment Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights
obtained by license with respect to S59 FFP Systems will be owned solely by
Cerus without any obligation to assign to Xxxxxx or make other arrangements for
the benefit of Xxxxxx, unless such rights read on both S59 FFP Systems and
systems developed under the Platelet Agreement, in which case ownership of such
rights will be assigned as provided in the Platelet Agreement.
(e) Within the Field, the parties shall exploit any Joint
Patents solely for the development, sale or licensing of Systems pursuant to
this Agreement.
8.4 LICENSE.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for Systems
whose manufacture, use or sale is covered by a claim of a Cerus Patent, or which
use Cerus Know-How, Cerus hereby grants Xxxxxx an exclusive, paid-up, royalty
free (except as provided herein) license, with the right to sublicense (if such
sublicense is approved in advance by the Management Board), under Cerus Patents
and Cerus Know-How to make, have made, import, sell, offer for sale or have sold
such Systems, and to use such Systems solely for promotion and sale thereof,
worldwide, solely for use in the Approved Project Field. Notwithstanding the

32
foregoing, for any country or territory where such marketing rights become
co-exclusive or exclusive to Cerus pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.5 or 6.6 of the
Agreement, such license shall automatically become co-exclusive with Cerus, or
the rights shall revert exclusively to Cerus, as the case may be, for such
country or territory. Except as set forth herein in Section 5.7, such license
shall exclude the right to make or have made Cerus Compounds. As to Cerus
Compounds, such license shall be limited to the Cerus Compounds that are
selected by the Management Board for a specific Project within the Approved
Project Field. Notwithstanding anything in this Section or elsewhere in this
Agreement, Xxxxxx shall not have any license or distribution rights in or to any
Cerus Patent or Cerus Know-How to the extent relating to (a) the inactivation of
bacteria, viruses, parasites or other pathogens through use of compounds other
than psoralens, ALE compounds or New Technology Compounds, or (b) use outside
the Approved Project Field, except as provided in Section 8.6 of this Agreement.
8.5 CERUS RIGHTS.
(a) Baxter and Cerus have previously entered into a letter
agreement dated January 18, 1996 RE NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE FOR PLASMA DERIVATIVES
a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule D (the "Plasma Derivatives
Letter"). The Plasma Derivatives Letter is not superseded by this Agreement. For
the purposes of clarity, the parties agree that the terms of the Plasma
Derivatives Letter apply to source plasma and recovered plasma for fractionation
in the same manner as they apply to plasma derivatives and recombinant
equivalents thereof, all of which shall be considered to be outside of the
Field, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.
(b) The license to Xxxxxx set forth above is subject to the
right retained by Cerus to grant licenses to third parties under Cerus Patents
and Cerus Know-How, and exercise other rights, as provided in Section 6.8 of
this Agreement. Xxxxxx further grants to Cerus paid-up, royalty-free (except as
provided herein) license, with right to sublicense (a) co-exclusive in the
Field, to any Xxxxxx Project Patents or Xxxxxx Know-How developed in the course
of the Cooperative Development Work or Platelet Project, and (b) non-exclusive
in the Field to any Xxxxxx Patents or Xxxxxx Know-How otherwise embodied or used
within a System or a system developed under the Platelet Agreement; solely for
the purposes of granting licenses and exercising other rights pursuant to
Sections 6.1, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8 and 8.5 or exercising Cerus' rights under
Section 12 or 16 of this Agreement, including without limitation the right to
make, have made, and use, sell or have sold any components of a System. This
clause (b) shall exclude, however, any Xxxxxx proprietary materials or Xxxxxx
proprietary configuration of blood bags and associated tubes and connections, or
Xxxxxx proprietary processes to manufacture any of the same, unless Xxxxxx shall
consent in writing to license of the same to Cerus.
8.6 CROSS-LICENSE AS TO INSTRUMENTS AND COMPOUND REMOVAL DEVICES;
EXPLOITATION OF JOINT INVENTIONS OUTSIDE THE FIELD.
(a) Cerus hereby grants to Xxxxxx, and Xxxxxx hereby grants to
Cerus, a worldwide, non-exclusive, paid-up, royalty-free license, with right to
sublicense, to make, have made, import, and use, sell, offer for sale, or have
sold, outside the Field, products under any patents and know-how of the granting
party used or embodied in any Instrument or in any compound removal device
developed under this Agreement or the Platelet Agreement.

33
(b) Either party may exploit any Joint Invention and rights to
any Joint Patent outside the Field subject to an obligation to pay the other
party a reasonable royalty to be negotiated in good faith, taking into account
the parties' relative contributions to the making of such invention, and,
failing agreement on such royalty, to be determined by arbitration pursuant to
Section 3.2(d) hereof. Such royalty will be paid by a party irrespective of
whether sole ownership of such Joint Invention or Joint Patent is assigned,
pursuant to Section 8.3(b), 8.3(c) or 8.3(d), to such party or to the other
party. Such royalty obligations shall not apply to the exercise of the rights
specifically provided in Section 8.6(a) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
Section 8.6(c), any exploitation by a party of a Joint Invention in the Field
shall be made solely either through a System developed pursuant to the
Cooperative Development Work and subject to revenue sharing as provided herein.
(c) If either party is assigned sole ownership of a Joint
Invention pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof, that party hereby grants to the other
party a worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive paid-up (except for the royalties
provided for in Section 8.6(b)) license, with right to sublicense, to make, have
made, import, and use, sell, offer for sale, or have sold products practicing
such invention and under any associated patent rights.
8.7 EXCLUDED PRODUCTS. The term EXCLUDED PRODUCT means any product in
the Field that Xxxxxx, in its sole discretion, specifically notifies Cerus in
writing that Xxxxxx has no interest in developing and marketing. In the event
that Cerus proposes in writing a product for development under the Cooperative
Development Work, Xxxxxx will consider such proposal in good faith and will
notify Cerus in writing if Xxxxxx has no interest in developing and marketing
such product in the reasonably foreseeable future. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, all rights and licenses hereunder as to any
Excluded Product shall revert to Cerus, including without limitation the right
to make, have made, and use, sell and have sold the Excluded Product. Cerus
shall not have any obligation to account to Xxxxxx for any proceeds from sale of
any Excluded Product.
8.8 NOTICE OF SOLE RIGHTS. After the Effective Date of this Agreement,
a party asserting sole ownership of any patent rights or know-how in the Field
developed pursuant to the Cooperative Development Work shall provide reasonable
notice to the Patent Committee of its intention to seek patent protection or to
assert proprietary interest in such Know-How. The Patent Committee shall have
the right to a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such assertions
prior to patent applications being filed.
8.9 OTHER AGREEMENTS. Cerus shall not terminate, alter or amend the
terms of the following agreements in a manner that would limit Cerus' or

[ *** ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS
AMENDED.
35
Any such Xxxxxx Patents or Cerus Patents that are so identified (other than
patents or patent applications that are primarily directed toward applications
outside the Field, and only incidentally directed toward the Field) shall be
designated Project Patents. In such periodic reviews, the Management Board may
also determine that certain Xxxxxx Patents or Cerus Patents that were previously
designated as Project Patents will be removed from such designation.
(b) In the event that the Management Board determines that a
license from a third party is necessary or desirable in connection with the sale
of any System developed under this Agreement, the parties will share the cost of
obtaining and maintaining such license. If a Patent Fee Payment is required to
obtain or maintain such license, the party negotiating the license will make
such payment, and the other party will reimburse the paying party for fifty
percent (50%) of the amount of such payment within sixty (60) days after such
payment is made. Patent Royalty Payments on Project Patents, and Patent Royalty
Payments approved by the Management Board for patents that are not designated as
Project Patents, will be paid by Xxxxxx (if Xxxxxx is the selling party) or
Cerus (if Cerus is the selling party) for any System and deducted in computing
the Premium arising from sales by such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to any patents obtained to support the S59 FFP System, Cerus will
solely pay any Patent Fee Payment (to the extent such Patent Fee Payment is
allocable to S59 FFP, but not to the extent it is allocable to other systems
being developed under this Agreement or the Platelet Agreement) and will also
pay Patent Royalty Payments, and charge such Patent Fee Payments and Patent
Royalty Payments as Cost of Goods in Computing Premium.

January 1, 1997 of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining Project
Patents and Joint Patents in the countries of the United States, Australia,
Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, and
Japan, and all other countries that are agreeable to Xxxxxx and Cerus, as
evidenced in writing shall be borne equally. The parties shall reconcile on a
semi-annual basis on or about the last business day of each February and August,
commencing August, 1998, all such expenses incurred by the respective parties
during the previous semi-annual period (or previous semi-annual periods that
have not yet been reconciled). In such reconciliation, Xxxxxx will make a cash
payment to Cerus, or Cerus will make a cash payment to Xxxxxx, so that such
expenses are borne equally by the parties. Unless countries other than those
expressly listed above are agreed to by the parties in writing, such other
country filings shall not be made. Except as set forth above in this Section
with respect to Project Patents, Cerus will bear the expenses of preparing,
filing, prosecuting and maintaining Cerus Patents, and Xxxxxx will bear the
expense of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining Xxxxxx Patents.
9.7 ELECTION NOT TO PAY EXPENSES. If either party does not for any
reason pay its share of the reasonable expenses for a particular Project Patent
or Joint Patent, then, at the option of the other party:
(a) the interest of that nonpaying party with respect to that
particular patent application or patent shall immediately terminate and the
paying party shall be assigned and exclusively own that particular patent or
patent application, without affecting the nonpaying party's rights under all
other patent applications and patents; or
(b) the application or patent shall be allowed to lapse.

successor name and xxxx) in a prominent manner on packaging, literature and
promotional material and advertising for the System unless Xxxxxx makes a good
faith determination that the Cerus name cannot be used due to third party
rights. Xxxxxx shall, to the extent practical, provide to Cerus for review
copies of all proposed uses of the Cerus name and xxxx and references to Cerus.
At Cerus' reasonable request, Baxter shall refer to the Cerus Compounds by the
Cerus trademark that Cerus indicates is appropriate. Baxter shall include on
material bearing such trademarks an acknowledgment that such trademarks are the
property of Cerus. If necessary in any market to maintain Cerus' rights in the
Cerus trademarks, Baxter shall enter into a registered user agreement regulating
its use of the Cerus trademarks. Except as provided in this Section, no rights
to Cerus trademarks are hereby granted to Xxxxxx.

participation, then at Xxxxxx'x election by written notice, all marketing rights
and licenses of Cerus hereunder to the System(s) developed or being developed
under such Project, or under the Development Work, as the case may be, shall
terminate, and Baxter shall source the Cerus Compounds from an alternative
source with the cooperation of Cerus, and the Revenue Sharing Formula in Section
7.1 will be adjusted under Sections 7.2 and 12.1(a); in addition, Baxter (but
not Cerus) shall be released from the obligations of Sections 3.8 and 6.3 with
respect to that part of the Field that such System is intended to address.
(c) In the event that Baxter unilaterally ceases all
participation, then at Cerus' election by written notice, all marketing rights
and licenses of Baxter to the System(s) developed or being developed under such
Project, or under the Cooperative Development Work, as the case may be, shall
terminate and Cerus shall have exclusive rights to market, sell and distribute
such System throughout the world. Baxter shall provide the necessary Baxter
disposables, apheresis kits, Blood Pack Units(R), Instruments, Baxter Compounds,
New Technology Compounds that the Management Board determines shall be supplied

the Project, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that either party shall have the right to give
notice of unilateral cessation of a Project prior to that date if such party
concludes, reasonably and in good faith, based on an unambiguous, unsuccessful
outcome in a critical test in the Project test protocol that there is no
reasonable likelihood that the Project will attain Regulatory Approval.
12.3 SECTION 12 NOT APPLICABLE TO S59 FFP. Notwithstanding the
preceding provisions of Section 12, neither Section 12.1 nor 12.2 shall apply to
the S59 FFP Project. Cerus may, at any time, cease to pursue the S59 FFP

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made on March 18, 1996 with respect to the

disclosed or made available to each other in connection with the Agreement.
WHEREAS, the parties have entered into a development, manufacturing and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to assure the confidential status of the
information which may be disclosed to each other in connection with the
Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance upon and in consideration of the following
undertakings, the parties agree as follows:
1. All information disclosed to the other party shall be deemed to be
"Proprietary Information." In particular, Proprietary Information shall be
deemed to include any information, process, techniques, algorithm, program,
design, drawing, formula or test data relating to any research project, work in
progress, future development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, servicing,
financing or personnel matter relating to the disclosing party, its present or
future products, sales, suppliers, clients, customers, employees, investors, or

be identified by the disclosing party in writing and marked "Confidential" or if
such Proprietary Information is disclosed orally, within 30 days after such
disclosure the Proprietary Information shall be reduced to writing and marked
"Confidential" by the disclosing party and such writing forwarded to the
receiving party.
2. The term "Proprietary Information" shall not be deemed to include
information which: (i) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure
to act on the part of the receiving party, generally known or available; (ii) is
known by the receiving party at the time of receiving such information as
evidenced by its records; (iii) is furnished to the receiving party by a third

breach of this Confidentiality Agreement; and (v) is the subject of a written
permission to disclose provided by the disclosing party.
3. Each party shall maintain in trust and confidence and not disclose

Information received from the other party. However, each party may disclose
Proprietary Information to its affiliates who are bound by this Agreement
(affiliates include: any company owning 40% or more of a party, or a subsidiary
of the party, or a subsidiary of a party owning 40% or more of the party). Each

4. The responsibilities of the parties with respect to the Proprietary
Information are limited to using the same degree of care used to protect their
own Proprietary Information from unauthorized use or disclosure. Both parties
shall advise their employees or agents who might have access to such Proprietary
Information of the confidential nature thereof.
5. This Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect for so long as the parties continue to exchange Proprietary Information
under the Agreement. The termination of the Agreement shall not relieve either
party of the obligations imposed by this Confidentiality Agreement with respect
to Proprietary Information disclosed prior to the effective date of such
termination, which obligations shall survive the termination of the Agreement
for a period of two (2) years from the date of disclosure.
6. Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any
breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by the other party, including, without
limitation, the actual or threatened disclosure of a disclosing party's
Proprietary Information without the prior express written consent of the
disclosing party, the disclosing party will suffer an irreparable injury, such
that no remedy at law will afford it adequate protection against, or appropriate
compensation for such injury. Accordingly, each party hereby agrees that the
other party shall be entitled to any injunctive relieve as may be granted by a
court of competent jurisdiction.

I am authorized to sign this agreement agree to the following terms and
conditions of association:
(a) I understand that during the course of my association with Baxter I may
acquire or have access to information that is confidential and of great
value to Baxter. This information may include the nature of research
and/or development projects as well as data relating to them; it may
further include, without limitation, products, customers, suppliers,
pricing, costs, know-how, strategies, programs, processes, and
practices.
(b) I agree to use Xxxxxx'x confidential information only for the direct
and sole benefit of Baxter, and I will not disclose Xxxxxx'x
confidential information to others without the express written
authorization of Baxter, provided, however, that any information
relating to pathogen inactivation technology or programs may be
disclosed to
Cerus Corporation ("Cerus") for use consistent with the
terms of agreements in affect between Baxter and Cerus (the
"Collaboration Agreements").
(c) I agree that the foregoing restrictions on the use and disclosure of
Xxxxxx'x confidential information shall continue for ten years
following the date of this agreement and shall survive termination of
my association with Baxter. I understand further that the foregoing
restrictions do not apply to information which I can establish by my
written records was in my possession prior to disclosure by Baxter to
me, or is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of my own, or
which I acquire from others not under obligation of secrecy to Baxter.
I understand that during the course of my association with Baxter I may also
acquire or have access to information that is confidential and of great value to
third parties. I will comply with the terms of any applicable confidentiality
agreement between Baxter and a third party, and will not use or disclose third

If during my association with Baxter I am given, or prepare or produce, any
drawings, samples, prototypes, products or equipment according to Xxxxxx'x
specifications, or incorporating any of Xxxxxx'x ideas or technology, I agree
not to show or display to any third party, nor in any manner publicly use, or
give, distribute, transfer or sell, to any third party any of the aforesaid
items without first obtaining the express written permission of Baxter, except
disclosure to Cerus and use consistent with the Collaboration Agreement.
I understand that, except for information disclosed pursuant to the
Collaboration Agreements, Baxter is not willing to accept on a confidential
basis any information, suggestion or idea belonging to me or my employer. I
therefore agree that if I do disclose such information, suggestion or idea to
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx shall have no liability to me or my employer because of Xxxxxx'x
disclosure or use of such information, suggestion or idea, except liability for
infringement of any valid patent now or hereafter issued thereon.
