THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH INVENTION OR PRODUCT, OR THAT THE USE OF LICENSED PRODUCT(S) WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT OR OTHER RIGHTS. BWH SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES SUFFERED BY LICENSEE, ANY SUBLICENSEE OR ANY OTHERS RESULTING FROM ANY SUCH INVENTION OR PRODUCT.
9. INDEMNITY
9.1 (a) The LICENSEE shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BWH and its trustees, officers, medical and professional staff, employees, and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the "Indemnitees") against any liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnitees or any one of them in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments arising out of any theory of product liability (including, but not limited to, actions in the form of tort, warranty, or strict liability) concerning any product, process or service made, used or sold pursuant to any right or license granted under this Agreement.
(b) LICENSEE agrees, at its own expense, to provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to BWH to defend against actions brought or filed against any party indemnified hereunder with respect to the subject of indemnity contained herein, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought.
(c) Beginning at the time as any such product, process or service is being commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by LICENSEE or by a sublicensee, AFFILIATE or agent of LICENSEE, LICENSEE shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts not less than $2,000,000 per incident and $2,000,000 annual aggregate and naming the Indemnities as additional insureds. During clinical trials of any such product, process or service, LICENSEE shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance in such equal or lesser amount as BWH shall require, naming the Indemnities as additional insureds. Such comprehensive general liability insurance shall provide (i) product liability coverage and (ii) broad form contractual liability coverage for LICENSEE's indemnification under this Agreement. If LICENSEE elects to self-insure all or part of the limits described above (including deductibles or retentions which are in excess of $250,000 annual aggregate) such self-insurance program must be acceptable to BWH and the Risk Management Foundation of the Harvard Medical Institutions, Inc. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage

required shall not be construed to create a limit of LICENSEE's liability with respect to its indemnification under this Agreement.
(d) LICENSEE shall provide BWH with written evidence of such insurance upon request of BWH. LICENSEE shall provide BWH with written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance; if LICENSEE does not obtain replacement insurance providing comparable coverage within such fifteen (15) day period BWH shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective at the end of such fifteen (15) day period without notice or any additional waiting periods.
(e) LICENSEE shall maintain such comprehensive general liability insurance beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement during (i) the period that any product, process, or service, relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement is being commercially distributed or sold by LICENSEE or by a sublicensee, affiliate or agent of LICENSEE and (ii) a reasonable period after the period referred to in (e) (i) above which in no event shall be less than fifteen (15) years.
10. MARKING
Prior to the issuance of patents on the Invention(s), LICENSEE agrees to xxxx Licensed Products (or their containers or labels) made, sold, or otherwise disposed of by it under the license granted in this Agreement with the words "Patent Pending," and following the issuance of one or more patents, with the numbers of the Licensed Patent(s).
11. BWH NAMES AND MARKS
LICENSEE agrees not to identify BWH or Harvard Medical School in any promotional advertising or other promotional materials to be disseminated to the public or any portion thereof or to use the name of any BWH or Harvard Medical School faculty member, employee, or student or any trademark, service xxxx, trade name, or symbol of BWH or Harvard Medical School, or that is associated with any of them, without BWH's prior written consent.
12. INFRINGEMENT BY OTHERS: PROTECTION OF PATENTS
12.1 LICENSEE shall promptly inform BWH of any suspected infringement of any Licensed Patent(s) by a third party. During the Exclusive period of this Agreement, BWH and LICENSEE each shall have the right to institute an action for infringement of the Licensed Patent(s) against such third party in accordance with the following:
(a) If BWH and LICENSEE agree to institute suit jointly, the suit shall be brought in both their names, the out-of-pocket costs thereof shall be borne [*], and any recovery or settlement shall be shared [*]. LICENSEE and BWH shall agree to the manner in which they shall exercise control over such action. BWH may, if it so desires, also be represented by separate counsel of its own selection, the fees for which counsel shall be paid by BWH;
(b) In the absence of agreement to institute a suit jointly, BWH may institute suit, and, at its option, join LICENSEE as a plaintiff. If BWH decides to institute suit, then it shall notify LICENSEE in writing. LICENSEE's failure to notify BWH in writing, within fifteen (15) days after the date of the notice, that it will join in enforcing the patent pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall be and be deemed conclusively to be LICENSEE's assignment to BWH of all rights, causes of action, and damages resulting from any such alleged infringement. BWH shall bear the entire cost of such litigation and shall be entitled to retain [*] of any recovery or settlement; and
(c) In the absence of agreement to institute a suit jointly and if BWH notifies LICENSEE that it has decided not to join in or institute a suit, as provided in (a) or (b) above, LICENSEE
6
may institute suit. LICENSEE shall bear [*] of such litigation, including expenses incurred by BWH. Any recovery in excess of litigation costs will be shared with BWH as follows:
(i) Any payment for past sales will be deemed to be Net Sales and LICENSEE will pay BWH royalties thereon at the rates specified in Paragraph 6.3 and;
(ii) Any payment which covers future sales will be deemed a sublicense and royalties will be shared as specified in Article 13.
LICENSEE and BWH agree to negotiate in good faith an appropriate compensation to BWH for any non-cash settlement or non-cash cross-license.
12.2 Should either BWH or LICENSEE commence a suit under the provisions of Paragraph 12.1 and thereafter elect to abandon the same, it shall give timely notice to the other party who may, if it so desires, continue prosecution of such suit, provided, however, that the sharing of expenses and any recovery in such suit shall be as agreed upon between BWH and LICENSEE.
13. SUBLICENSE(S)
13.1 LICENSEE may grant sublicense(s) during the Exclusive period, upon BWH's consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
13.2 If LICENSEE is unable or unwilling to serve or develop a potential market or market territory for which there is a willing sublicensee(s), LICENSEE will, at BWH's request, negotiate in good faith a sublicense(s) hereunder
13.3 Any sublicense(s) granted by LICENSEE under this Agreement shall be subject and subordinate to terms and conditions of this Agreement, except:
(a) Sublicense terms and conditions shall reflect that any sublicensee(s) may grant sublicenses, upon BWH's consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld; and
(b) The earned royalty rate specified in the sublicense(s) may be at higher rates than the rates in this Agreement.
Any such sublicense(s) also shall expressly include the provisions of Articles 7, 8, and 9 for the benefit of BWH and provide for the transfer of all obligations, including the payment of royalties specified in such sublicense(s), to BWH or its designee, in the event that this Agreement is terminated.
13.4 LICENSEE agrees to provide a copy of any sublicense granted pursuant to this Article 13 within 30 days of its execution.
13.5 (a) LICENSEE shall pay to BWH—
- 1.
- [*]
of Sublicensee Revenues received by LICENSEE from a Third Party in consideration for the grant of a sublicense under such rights if such Licensed Product
has not yet completed a Phase III trial at the time that the sublicense is granted; or
- 2.
- [*]
of Sublicensee Revenues received by LICENSEE from a Third Party in consideration for the grant of a sublicense under such rights if such Licensed Product
has completed a Phase III trial at the time that the sublicense is granted;
- less milestones payable under Paragraph 6.4.
(b) Notwithstanding Paragraph 6.3, if LICENSEE grants a sublicense to Licensed Product and receives Sublicense Revenue in consideration of such sublicense, then LICENSEE shall pay to BWH an earned royalty on Net Sales equal to [*] of Net Sales by LICENSEE and its sublicensees in such sublicense territory.
7
(c) Subject to Paragraph 13.5(b), Sublicensee Revenues shall mean the following payments received by LICENSEE from a Sublicensee in connection with a Sublicense and the Licensed Products for which such Sublicense is granted: (i) up front payments in cash; (ii) research, development or regulatory filing milestones; and (iii) license maintenance fees. It shall not include sharing of, or reimbursement for, research, clinical, registration, commercialization or manufacturing costs.
13.6 Subject to Paragraphs 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, and 13.4, LICENSEE may grant royalty-free or non-cash sublicenses or cross-licenses provided LICENSEE pays all royalties due BWH from sublicensee's Net Sales.
13.7 The parties acknowledge that LICENSEE will develop or require access to technologies other than the Licensed Patent Rights and Product Data Package to develop and commercialize Licensed Products, and that it will receive payments from its sublicensees in consideration both for the grant of a sublicense under this Agreement as well as the grant to such sublicensee of other licenses, sublicenses and similar rights by LICENSEE. Accordingly, LICENSEE shall have the right, in calculating amounts due to BWH under Paragraph 13.5(a), to determine in good faith which portion of Sublicense Revenues is attributable to technology covered by the Licensed Patent Rights and the Product Data Package, and which portion is attributable to rights to other third party technologies contributing to products sold. Prior to distributing Sublicense Revenues, LICENSEE shall inform BWH of any apportionment calculation and the reasonable basis for such apportionment calculation. BWH shall have the right to challenge any apportionment, other than as set forth in Paragraph 13.8, that it determines in good faith is unreasonable and BWH shall set forth a reasonable basis for an alternative apportionment. If the parties cannot agree on such apportionment of Sublicensing Revenues, then the dispute shall be resolved as provided in Section 16; except that both parties' costs of such proceeding shall be borne by the party whose proposed allocation is further from that awarded by the arbitration. In no event shall BWH's apportionment of Sublicensing Revenues be reduced to less than [*] under this Paragraph 13.7.
13.8 In applying the foregoing, the parties agree that as of September 19, 2003, that E2F decoy products are covered primarily by intellectual property rights licensed from each of BWH hereunder and Stanford University pursuant to an agreement between LICENSEE and the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Junior University dated January 1, 1999 (as amended and restated), and that for such products consisting of the compound designated "E2F decoy" and a pressurized nucleotide delivery device substantially similar to that existing as of April 23, 2003, but that contain no other material component, LICENSEE shall designate [*] of Sublicense Revenues of such products by LICENSEE or sublicensees as attributable to Licensed Patents, absent a basis for an alternative apportionment.

8

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that LICENSEE may assign any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder with the prior written consent of BWH, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, except that no prior written consent shall be required in the event that a Third Party acquires substantially all of the assets or outstanding shares of, or merges with, LICENSEE.
16. ARBITRATION
16.1 Any controversy arising under or related to this Agreement, and any disputed claim by either party against the other under this Agreement excluding any dispute relating to patent validity or infringement arising under this Agreement, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Licensing Agreement Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and nonappealable and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
