Any recovery obtained in an action under this Subsection shall be distributed as follows: (i) each party shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in the action (including the amount of any royalty payments withheld from Medical School as described below), (ii) as to ordinary damages, Company shall receive an amount equal to its lost profits or a reasonable royalty on the infringing sales (whichever measure of damages the court shall have applied), less a reasonable approximation of the royalties that Company would have paid to Medical School if Company had sold the infringing products and services rather than the infringer, and (iii) as to special or punitive damages, the parties shall share equally in any award. Company may offset a total of fifty percent (50%) of any expenses incurred under this Subsection against any royalty payments due to Medical School under this Agreement, provided that in no event shall the royalty payments under Section 4.5. and 4.7., when aggregated with any other offsets and credits allowed under this Agreement, be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) in any Royalty Period.

          (c) Medical School as Indispensable Party. Medical School shall permit any action under this Section to be brought in its name if required by law, provided that Company shall hold Medical School harmless from, and if necessary indemnify Medical School against, any costs, expenses, or liability that Medical School may incur in connection with such action.

          (d) Medical School Right to Prosecute. In the event that Company fails to initiate an infringement action within a reasonable time after it first becomes aware of the basis for such action, or to answer a declaratory judgment action within a reasonable time after such action is filed, Medical School shall have the right to prosecute such infringement or answer such declaratory judgment action, under its sole control and at its sole expense, and any recovery obtained shall be given to Medical School.

          (e) Cooperation. Each party agrees to cooperate fully in any action under this Section 6.7. which is controlled by the other party, provided that the controlling party reimburses the cooperating party promptly for any costs and expenses incurred by the cooperating party in connection with providing such assistance.

     8.1. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until (a) the expiration of all issued patents within the Patent Rights or (b) for a period of ten (10) years after the Effective Date if no such patents have issued within that ten-year period, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

     8.3. Force Majeure. Neither party will be responsible for delays resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of such party, including without limitation fire, explosion, flood, war, strike, or riot, provided that the nonperforming party uses commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and continues performance under this Agreement with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed.

          (a) Negotiation. In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the affected party shall notify the other party, and the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the matter within ten (10) days after the date of such notice (the “Notice Date”). Any disputes not resolved by good faith discussions shall be referred to senior executives of each party, who shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and location within thirty (30) days after the Notice Date and attempt to negotiate a settlement.

          (b) Mediation. If the matter remains unresolved within sixty (60) days after the Notice Date, or if the senior executives fail to meet within thirty (30) days after the Notice Date, either party may initiate mediation upon written notice to the other party, whereupon both parties shall be obligated to engage in a mediation proceeding under the then current Center for Public Resources (“CPR”) Model Procedure for Mediation of Business Disputes, except that specific provisions of this Section shall override inconsistent provisions of the CPR Model Procedure. The mediator will be selected from the CPR Panels of Neutrals. If the parties cannot agree upon the selection of a mediator within ninety (90) days after the Notice Date, then upon the request of either party, the CPR shall appoint the mediator.

          (c) Trial Without Jury. If the parties fail to resolve the dispute through mediation, or if neither party elects to initiate mediation, each party shall have the right to pursue any other remedies legally available to resolve the dispute, provided, however, that the parties expressly waive any right to a jury trial in any legal proceeding under this Section.

9.3. Preservation of Rights Pending Resolution.

          (a) Performance to Continue. Each party shall continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any dispute arising out or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that a party may suspend performance of its obligations during any period in which the other party fails or refuses to perform its obligations.

          (b) Provisional Remedies. Although the procedures specified in this Article are the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes arising out of relating to this Agreement, either party may seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional equitable relief if, in its reasonable judgment, such action is necessary to avoid irreparable harm to itself or to preserve its rights under this Agreement.

          (c) Statute of Limitations. The parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches) shall be tolled while the procedures set forth in Subsections 9.2.(a) and 9.2(b) are pending. The parties shall take any actions necessary to effectuate this result.

Inventors: Xxxxxxxx Xx et al

AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT
(UMMC 03-60)

     This Amendment No. 1, dated as of February  1, 2004 (the “Amendment”) is being made to the Exclusive License Agreement relating to UMMC 03-60 (the “License Agreement”), effective as of April 15, 2003, by and between the University of Massachusetts Medical School (“Medical School”), a public institution of higher education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts having an address of 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, and CytRx Corporation (“Company”), a Delaware corporation having an address of 00000 Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000.

R E C I T A L S

     WHEREAS, Section 4.8 of the License Agreement provided for the calculation of payments payable to Medical School under Section 4.5 and Section 4.7 of the License Agreement in the event Company was required to make certain other payments to Medical School or third parties; and

     WHEREAS, Medical School and Company wish to clarify the manner in which Section 4.8 of the License Agreement shall operate;

     NOW, THEREFORE, Medical School and Company hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendment to Section 4.8.

     Section 4.8 of the License Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

     “4.8 Third-Party and Other Payments. If Company is legally required to make royalty or sublicense income payments to Medical School under any other license agreement, as well as this Agreement, or to one or more third parties, as well as this Agreement, in the same Royalty Period for which payments are due under Section 4.5 or 4.7 in order for Company to make, use or sell Licensed Products or have its Sublicensee make, use, or sell Licensed Products:

          (a) Other Medical School Payments. In the case of payments to Medical School under Sections 4.5 and 4.7 with respect to any Licensed Product, Company shall pay only the highest rate among this Agreement and any other Medical School licenses, and that one payment shall be deemed to satisfy the payment requirements for the applicable period under not only this Agreement but each of the other Medical School licenses.

          (b) Third Party Payments. In the case of payments to one or more third parties with respect to any Licensed Product under this Agreement, Company may reduce its

payment to Medical School under Section 4.5 or 4.7 of this Agreement for the applicable Royalty Period by fifty percent (50%) of the amount actually paid to third parties. However, in no event will the reductions made pursuant to this Section 4.8(b) result in more than a fifty percent (50%) reduction in the payments that would otherwise be payable to Medical School under Section 4.5 and 4.7 (after taking into account Section 4.8(a)).

          (c) Example: Royalty Reductions. By way of illustration for Section 4.5 royalty payment reductions, for a particular Licensed Product, assume a royalty of (***) of Net Sales under another Medical School license and a payment of (***) of Net Sales to a third party. The reduction calculation would be as follows: The total (***) royalty rate in this Agreement would apply, and Company would reduce that rate by 50% of the (***) due to the third party, resulting in a (***) royalty to Medical School under this Agreement, and no royalties payable to the Medical School under the other Medical School license.

          (d) Example: Sublicense Income Payments. By way of illustration for Section 4.7 Sublicense Income payment reductions, assume (i) the total Sublicense Income received by Company from the Sublicensee is (***), and (ii) Company paid a third party (***) in order to allow the sublicensee to make Licensed Products. Company would then be required to pay the Medical School under this Agreement (***) (Medical School receiving (***) of the (***) reduced by one-half of the (***) paid to the third party). If Company also sublicensed another Medical School license with respect to the Licensed Products, Company would not be required to make additional sublicense income payments.”

2. Continuation of All Other Terms of Agreement.

     Except for the amendment of Section 4.8 of the License Agreement provided for in Section 1 of this Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the License Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

3. Miscellaneous.

     3.1 Dispute Resolution. The parties agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Amendment shall be resolved solely by means of the procedures set forth in Article 9 of the Agreement.

     3.2 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

     3.3 Headings. All headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of this Amendment.

     3.4 Binding Effect. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

     3.5 Amendment. This Amendment may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified only by means of a written instrument signed by all of the parties.

     3.6 Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts irrespective of any conflicts of law principles.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above written.
