The amount payable by ArQule for an FTE on an annualized basis including associated overhead and support costs is approximately *.
2.3 Funding and Resources. Subject to Sections 2.9 and 2.10 hereof, ArQule shall pay BBI for performance of the Research Program during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in Appendix B (the “Payment Schedule”). ArQule shall also provide research support as the Parties may mutually deem necessary in the form of loaned equipment (the “Loaned Equipment”), Background Technology, Proprietary Materials, and Confidential Information (as defined in Section 5.1). Loaned Equipment shall include bench-top laboratory and office equipment located at 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 on the Effective Date, other equipment listed in Appendix C and any additional laboratory or office equipment provided to BBI by ArQule during the Term. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, and provided BBI shall not be in breach hereof, the ArQule Representative and the Principal Investigator shall negotiate in good faith an agreement on mutually acceptable terms for disposition of Loaned Equipment, if any, that the ArQule Representative decides is surplus to ArQule’s internal requirements (the “Disposition Agreement”), including disposition by sale or lease to BBI of all or a portion thereof on terms which reflect fair market value of the Loaned Equipment. All Loaned Equipment which is not subject to the Disposition Agreement shall be returned to ArQule upon the expiration or
3
earlier termination of this Agreement. Indicated on Appendix C are items of equipment which the Parties currently expect will be surplus to ArQule’s internal requirements at the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that such indication shall not be binding upon the Parties. For purposes of clarity, any equipment which is purchased by BBI during the Term shall remain BBI’s property following termination or expiration of this Agreement.
2.4 Limited Use License. Except as otherwise prohibited by the terms of any agreement by virtue of which ArQule acquired rights in Background Technology, ArQule hereby grants to BBI a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license, coterminous with this Agreement, under ArQule’s rights to Background Technology and/or Program Intellectual Property solely to perform BBI’s obligations under this Agreement. ArQule and BBI will cooperate to obtain the consent of any third party necessary to permit BBI to use the Background Technology including the licenses listed in Appendix D.
2.5 Transitional Services. ArQule will provide transitional services, including administrative, electronic security and information technology services to BBI for up to thirty (30) days (or less if requested by BBI and more if mutually agreed by the Parties) after the Effective Date. Such services will be provided at a cost equal to the direct out-of-pocket cost to ArQule and the amount thereof will be deducted from the next occurring Fixed Payment.
2.6 Third-party Support; Research Support. If deemed necessary or advisable by mutual agreement of the Parties in connection with the Research Program, ArQule shall continue to permit BBI to utilize during the Term the services of commercial and institutional research facilities with which it has service contracts prior to the Effective Date, and any new service contracts entered into by ArQule during the Term, provided that, such utilization shall be coordinated by, and undertaken only with the prior approval of, the ArQule Representative and any incremental cost of such use shall be borne by BBI.
2.7 Payments. Subject to Sections 2.9 and 2.10 hereof, ArQule shall make periodic payments in advance to BBI as set forth in the Payment Schedule (each, a “Fixed Payment”) and contingent payments as set forth in the Payment Schedule upon successful accomplishment of research goals and production of deliverables as specified in the Research Plan (each, a “Performance Payment”). All payments shall be paid in U.S. Dollars by check or electronic transfer, as set forth in the Payment Schedule, or by such other method mutually agreed upon by the Parties.
2.8 Principal Investigator. The Principal Investigator shall devote such of his time and attention to his duties under the Research Program as shall be reasonably necessary to the performance of the Research Program; provided, however, that upon designation by Principal Investigator, the Senior Director shall have full authority to communicate with ArQule and to manage the day-to-day performance of the Research Program. If the Principal Investigator terminates his service with BBI or otherwise becomes unavailable to work on the Research Program for any reason for a period of time which would, in the reasonable judgment of ArQule, materially and adversely affect the performance of the Research Agreement, BBI may conduct the Research Program through a replacement Principal Investigator with comparable training and experience, provided that: (i) BBI shall promptly notify ArQule of the termination or unavailability of the Principal Investigator; and (ii) ArQule shall have the right to approve any
4
replacement Principal Investigator proposed by BBI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, based on the work remaining to be completed in connection with the Research Program and the expertise required to complete such work, ArQule shall have the right to reject any proposed replacement Principal Investigator and cause this Agreement to be terminated in accordance with Section 6.3.
2.9 Offset; Liability for Overpayment. In the event ArQule makes or becomes obligated to make any payment on behalf of BBI, whether as a result of BBI’s failure to pay or due to contractual or employment relationships existing as of the Effective Date, ArQule shall be entitled to a credit for any such payment and may deduct the amount of such payment from any subsequent Fixed or Performance Payment due from ArQule to BBI hereunder. In the event BBI is unable for any reason to provide the number of FTEs specified in Section 2.2, ArQule shall continue to make the Fixed Payments; provided, however, that a portion of each such Fixed Payment (the “Earmarked Amount”) shall be used solely for the acquisition of third-party products and services in furtherance of the Research Program so as to compensate for the reduction in the number of FTE’s working on the Research Program or, if not so used, shall be refunded to ArQule. The Earmarked Amount shall be equal to the actual direct labor costs, fringe benefits and consumable expenses of BBI personnel whose termination of employment or other unavailability cause the number of FTEs engaged in the Research Program to fall below the number specified in Section 2.2. At the end of each month during the Term, BBI will advise ArQule of unscheduled changes in the number of FTEs involved in the Research Program so as to permit calculation of Earmarked Amounts to be included in future Fixed Payments. If ArQule is entitled to credits, deductions or refunds under this Section which exceed the amounts payable by ArQule hereunder, BBI shall be liable for and ArQule shall be entitled to collect the amount of such excess from BBI.
2.10 Reduction in FTEs. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement if, at any time during the Term, the number of FTEs engaged in performance of the Research Agreement is fewer than sixteen (16), the ArQule Representative and the Principal Investigator shall meet to discuss the effect of such reduction in staffing on performance of this Agreement. If the ArQule Representative concludes, or the Principal Investigator informs him, that the Research Program cannot be carried out in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Parties shall attempt to agree upon amendments to the performance and payment terms hereof. If the Parties are unable to agree, either Party, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, may terminate this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, either party may assign, without the prior written consent of the other party, all (but not less than all) of its rights and delegate all (but not less than all) of its obligations under this Agreement to (i) any entity that is a purchaser or other successor in interest to all or substantially all of the business or assets of such Party or (ii) to an affiliate of such Party; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such assignment and delegation to an affiliate, the assigning and delegating party shall remain primarily, jointly and severally liable for the performance by such affiliate of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.

9.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Appendices hereto and (when executed) the proposed sublease of premises at 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx XX by and between the Parties (the “Sublease”) constitute related elements of a larger transaction and, as such, the entire and complete understanding between the parties with respect to the covered subject matter. Such documents replace, supersede and render void any and all predecessor agreements between the parties, whether written or oral regarding such subject matter. Neither Party has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking of the other Party that is not set forth or referred to in this Agreement or the Sublease.
9.8 Amendment. This Agreement may be varied, amended or extended only by the written agreement of the Parties acting through their respective duly authorized officers or representatives, specifically referring to this Agreement.
9.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, the enforceability of this Agreement as a whole or the enforceability of such provision in other jurisdictions to the extent permitted by law. In such event, the Parties shall promptly negotiate in good faith a lawful, valid and enforceable provision that is as similar to the invalid provision as may be possible.
9.10 No Waiver of Rights. No waiver by any party of any obligation under this Agreement, or of any breach thereof, shall constitute a continuing or additional waiver of such obligation or breach or of any other prior, contemporaneous or subsequent obligation or breach, whether of the same, similar or different nature. No waiver of any obligation hereunder, or of any breach thereof, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer or representative for the Party giving the waiver.
9.11 Force Majeure. A Party shall be excused from performing its obligations under this Agreement if its performance is delayed or prevented by any event beyond such Party’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, fire, explosion, weather, disease, war, insurrection, civil strife, riots, government action, or power failure; provided that such performance shall be excused only to the extent of and during such disability.
9.12 Headings and Interpretations.
(a) The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
(b) Unless otherwise specified, all references to “days” are to calendar rather than business days.
(c) Wherever any provision of this Agreement uses the term “including” (or “includes”), such term shall be deemed to mean “including without limitation” and “including
14
but not limited to” (or “includes without limitation” and “includes but is not limited to”) regardless of whether the words “without limitation” or “but not limited to” actually follow the term “including” (or “includes”).
(d) The Appendices to this Agreement, and the terms and conditions incorporated in the Appendices shall be deemed integral parts of this Agreement and all references herein to this Agreement shall encompass such Appendices and the incorporated terms and conditions.
(e) Unless otherwise explicitly stated, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Agreement and the terms and conditions of any of the Appendices hereto, the terms of the Agreement shall prevail.
(g) This Agreement shall be construed as if both Parties drafted it jointly, and shall not be construed against either Party as principal drafter.
9.13 Further Assurances. On and after the Effective Date, the Parties shall cooperate with respect to the taking of such actions, including execution and delivery of documents, instruments and amendments as the Parties may deem reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
