LICENSED SERVICES to market through an active and diligent program for
exploitation of the PATENT RIGHTS and KNOW-HOW and to continue active, diligent
marketing efforts for one or more LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES and
LICENSED SERVICES throughout the life of this Agreement. LICENSEE
makes no representation, guaranty, or warranty that it or its Sublicensees will
be successful in developing or bringing to market any LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSED
PROCESS or LICENSED SERVICES.
ARTICLE 5 -
CONSIDERATION
5.1 Initial License
Fee. In partial consideration of the rights and licenses
granted to LICENSEE by ACT in this Agreement, LICENSEE shall pay to ACT on the
Effective Date a license fee equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars (U.S.) ($250,000) (the “License Fee”). The License Fee is not
refundable and is not creditable against other payments due to ACT under this
Agreement. The License Fee shall be paid to ACT upon ACT’s delivery
of the KNOW HOW, CELLS, and CELL LINES pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section
3.1.
5.2 Royalties and other
Consideration.
(a) As
additional consideration of the license granted to LICENSEE from ACT in Article
2 of this Agreement, LICENSEE shall pay to ACT a royalty equal to 8% of (i) the
Net Sales received by LICENSEE and its AFFILIATES for all LICENSED PRODUCTS,
LICENSED PROCESS or LICENSED SERVICE sold, performed, or leased by LICENSEE or
any AFFILIATE, and (ii) all Sublicense Revenue received by LICENSEE and its
AFFILIATES. The obligation of LICENSEE to pay royalties shall
terminate (a) with respect to NET SALES and Sublicense Revenue arising in any
country concurrently with the expiration or termination of the last applicable
VALID CLAIM within the PATENT RIGHTS in such country in which the LICENSED
PRODUCT, LICENSED PROCESS or LICENSED SERVICE is, (as applicable), performed,
sold, leased, or manufactured, or in which the PATENT RIGHTS are licensed, and
(b) in any and all cases when royalty payments to ACT by LICENSEE total One
Million Dollars (U.S.) ($1,000,000.00); provided, however, that such $1,000,000
of royalties shall be reduced to $500,000 if LICENSEE, at LICENSEE’S option,
pays ACT $250,000 in cash within thirty (30) days after the execution of this
Agreement in addition to the License fee payable under Section 5.1 (such that
the License Fee, additional $250,000 payment, and potential future royalties
will total $1,000,000).
(b) No
multiple royalties shall be payable on the basis that any LICENSED PRODUCT,
LICENSED PROCESS or LICENSED SERVICE, its manufacture, use, lease, sale or
performance are or shall be covered by (a) more than one patent or patent
application within the
5
PATENT
RIGHTS, or (b) any other patent or know how under a license or sublicense from
ACT. In the case of the use of patents or know how licensed or
sublicensed by ACT under other agreements, LICENSEE and ACT’s other licensees or
sublicensees shall have the right to credit against the royalties owing to ACT,
under this Agreement and under such other license or sublicense agreements, any
royalty payments received by ACT with respect to the sale or lease of any
product or performance of any service (regardless of whether LICENSEE or another
licensee or sublicensee of ACT patents or know how pays the royalty), such that
in no event shall the total of royalty payments that are due to ACT in any
royalty period under this Agreement and under such other license or sublicense
agreements exceed the highest applicable royalty rate among this Agreement
and such other license or sublicense agreements. By way of example
only, if a product is produced by LICENSEE or LifeLine Cell Technology, LLC
(“LifeLine”) under that certain License, Product Production and Distribution
Agreement among BioTime, Inc. (“BT”), LICENSEE, and LifeLine (the “LifeLine
Agreement”), and that product uses PATENT RIGHTS under this Agreement and
patents licensed under a license or sublicense agreement between ACT and
LifeLine, (i) only one royalty would be paid to ACT on sales of the product,
(ii) the royalty rate would be the higher of the royalty rate applicable under
this Agreement or under ACT’s license or sublicense agreement with LifeLine, and
(iii) the royalty payment (whether paid by LICENSEE or by LifeLine) will be
credited toward royalties payable under this Agreement and under the ACT license
or sublicense agreement with LifeLine for the sale of the product.
5.3 Payment
Method. All payments due under this Agreement shall be paid to
ACT in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A., and shall be made in United
States currency without deduction for taxes, assessments, exchanges, collection
or other charges of any kind. Conversion of foreign currency to U.S. dollars
shall be made at the conversion rate reported in The Wall Street Journal on the
last working day of the calendar quarter to which the payment
relates.
5.4 Late
Fee. LICENSEE shall pay ACT interest on any overdue amounts at
the rate of one percent (1%) per month (twelve percent (12%) per annum), from
the date when such payment should have been made.
ARTICLE 6 - REPORTS AND
RECORDS
6.1 LICENSEE
shall maintain complete and accurate records of LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED
SERVICES and LICENSED PROCESSES that are sold, performed, or, leased by LICENSEE
or its AFFILIATES under this Agreement, and all Sublicense Revenue
received by LICENSEE and its AFFILIATES. LICENSEE shall keep, and
shall cause its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES to keep, full, true and accurate
books of account containing all particulars that may be necessary for the
purpose of showing the amounts payable to ACT hereunder and LICENSEE’s
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Said
books of account shall be kept at LICENSEE’s principal place of business or at
such other location as may be agreed upon by the parties. Said books
and the supporting data shall be open upon reasonable advance notice (and no
more frequently than once per calendar year) for three (3) years following the
end of the calendar year to which they pertain, to the inspection of ACT or its
agents for the purpose of verifying LICENSEE’s royalty statement or compliance
in other respects with this Agreement. If any such audit determines
that the reported payments to ACT were less than ninety percent (95%) of the
actual amount due to ACT for the period in question, LICENSEE shall bear the
cost of such audit (without limiting ACT’s other remedies with respect
thereto).
6
6.2 After
the first commercial sale of a LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSED SERVICE or LICENSED
PROCESS by LICENSEE any AFFILIATE, or any SUBLICENSEE, or LICENSEE’S
receipt of any Sublicense Revenue, LICENSEE, within forty-five (45) days after
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, of each year, shall deliver to
ACT a true and accurate report of all NET SALES and License Revenue during the
preceding three-month period under this Agreement as shall be pertinent to a
royalty accounting hereunder. Each such report shall include at least
the following:
|
(a)
|
number(s)
and type(s) of LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES and LICENSED SERVICES
sold, leased, or performed by LICENSEE and/or its
AFFILIATES;
|
|
(b)
|
total
xxxxxxxx and payments received for LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES
and LICENSED SERVICES performed, sold, or leased by LICENSEE and its
AFFILIATES, and/or Sublicense Revenue received from
its SUBLICENSEES; and
|
|
(c)
|
deductions
applicable as provided in Section
1.9;
|
6.3 With
each such report submitted, LICENSEE shall pay to ACT the royalties and other
payments due and payable under this Agreement. If no royalties or
other payments shall be due, LICENSEE shall so report.
6.4 LICENSEE’s
reporting obligations hereunder shall terminate when LICENSEE’S obligation to
pay royalties to ACT terminates.
ARTICLE 7 - PATENT
RIGHTS
7.1 Responsibility for the
PATENT RIGHTS. Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
LICENSEE shall be primarily responsible after the Effective Date for the
preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the PATENT RIGHTS listed on
Exhibit B. The
costs of such filing, prosecution and maintenance (including without limitation
the payment of all government fees in any given country required to maintain the
PATENT RIGHTS) after the Effective Date shall be borne by
LICENSEE. LICENSEE agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to
prosecute U.S. patents covering the inventions disclosed in the patent
applications included in the PATENT RIGHTS. LICENSEE shall not be
obligated to reimburse ACT for any costs or expenses incurred by ACT prior to
the Effective Date with respect to the preparation, filing, and prosecution of
any patent applications.
7.2 ACT’s
Participation. ACT’s patent counsel shall be given a
reasonable opportunity to comment, at ACT’s expense, on all proposed patent
filings and responses to patent office actions or other patent office
communications that may affect the PATENT RIGHTS, and LICENSEE will not
unreasonably refuse to accept any suggestions of ACT’s patent
counsel; provided, however, that
LICENSEE will have the final decision on the incorporation of any comments of
ACT’s patent counsel.
7.3 Abandonment. LICENSEE
will not allow any patent or patent application within the PATENT RIGHTS to
become expired or abandoned, or fail to diligently pursue patent protection for
any invention within the PATENT RIGHTS, without giving (a) written notice to ACT
at least thirty (30)
7
business
days prior to the next due date for any required communication, response to
office action, filing, or payment, failure to meet which would result in
expiration or abandonment, including but not limited to provisional abandonment,
of the patent or patent application, and (b) ACT the right to assume
responsibility for such patent or patent application. If ACT so
elects, (i) LICENSEE will execute such documents and otherwise perform such acts
and make all filings as may be reasonably required to permit ACT or its
designees to prosecute and maintain such patent or application in such
jurisdiction(s) and transact all matters connected therewith (including, as
necessary, appointing ACT’s patent counsel as associate attorneys of record, and
changing address of the patent attorney of record with the appropriate patent
authorities), (ii) ACT will thereafter assume control thereof and all expenses
(arising thereafter) for such prosecution and maintenance by ACT, and (iii)
LICENSEE’s rights and the licenses granted to LICENSEE with respect to all such
patents and patent applications shall automatically terminate upon ACT’s
assumption of control thereof.
7.4 Enforcement of the PATENT
RIGHTS. The Parties agree to notify each other in writing of
any actual or threatened infringement by a third party of the PATENT RIGHTS or
of any third-party claim of invalidity or unenforceability of the PATENT RIGHTS,
or of any interference or other proceeding affecting the PATENT
RIGHTS. LICENSEE shall have the first right to prosecute and defend
such claims under its sole control and at its sole expense. If
LICENSEE does proceed with such prosecution or defense, ACT shall provide
reasonable assistance to LICENSEE at LICENSEE’s request, provided LICENSEE pays
ACT for the reasonable out-of-pockets costs incurred by ACT in providing such
assistance. Any recovery obtained in an action under this Section 7.4
shall be distributed as follows, in this order: (i) LICENSEE shall be reimbursed
for any expenses incurred in the action; and (ii) LICENSEE shall receive the
remaining recovery, less a reasonable approximation of the royalties that
LICENSEE would have paid to ACT if LICENSEE had received the amount awarded as
ordinary damages as Net Sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS sold by LICENSEE.
7.5 ACT Rights to
Enforce. In the event that LICENSEE fails to initiate an
infringement action within a reasonable time (but no more than one hundred
eighty (180) days) after LICENSEE becomes aware of the basis for such action
(e.g., the actual or threatened infringement) or fails to answer a declaratory
judgment action or interference proceeding within a reasonable time (but no more
than ninety (90) days) after LICENSEE receives or becomes aware of such
infringement or action or proceeding, ACT shall have the right, after notifying
LICENSEE in writing, to prosecute such infringement or answer such declaratory
judgment action or interference proceeding, under its sole control and at its
sole expense. If ACT does proceed with such prosecution or defense,
LICENSEE shall provide reasonable assistance to ACT at ACT’s request, provided
ACT pays LICENSEE for its reasonable out-of-pockets costs incurred in such
assistance. Any recovery obtained in an action under this Section 7.5
shall be distributed as follows, in this order: (i) ACT shall be reimbursed for
any expenses incurred in the action; (ii) as to ordinary damages, LICENSEE shall
receive an amount equal to lost profits or a reasonable royalty on the
infringing sales (whichever measure the court applied), less a reasonable
approximation of the royalties that LICENSEE would have paid to ACT if LICENSEE
had received such amount as Net Sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS sold by LICENSEE; and
(iii) as to any additional damages, 100% to ACT, unless LICENSEE joins ACT in
the prosecution at its own expense at which point the parties will share equally
in any award.
7.6. Cooperation. ACT
and LICENSEE agree to reasonably cooperate in connection with the preparation,
filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the PATENT
RIGHTS. Cooperation includes,
8
without
limitation, (a) promptly executing all papers and instruments or requiring
employees of ACT or LICENSEE to execute papers and instruments as reasonably
appropriate to enable LICENSEE to file, prosecute, and maintain PATENT RIGHTS in
any country; and (b) promptly informing LICENSEE of matters that may affect
preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance of PATENT RIGHTS (such as
becoming aware of an additional inventor who is not listed as an inventor in a
patent application). Additionally, in the event either party
exercises its rights hereunder to proceed with any prosecution of infringement
or defense of the PATENT RIGHTS, such party shall consult with the other party
regarding the course of such proceedings and shall not enter into any
settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of any
infringement action that admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any PATENT
RIGHTS or that would adversely affect the rights of the other party without the
prior written consent of the other party, which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the generality of
the provisions of this Section 7.6, concurrently with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement ACT shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to LICENSEE the
documents attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C.
7.7 New Patents, Inventions, and
Discoveries. LICENSEE shall have the right to file and
prosecute new patent applications (and to obtain new patents) covering LICENSED
PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, AND LICENSED SERVICES, and any other subject
matter, with respect to any KNOW HOW and any other technology, invention, or
discovery made by LICENSEE or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees using PATENT
RIGHTS and KNOW HOW. ACT shall acquire no rights with respect to such
new patents, inventions, discoveries, or technology not included within the
PATENT RIGHTS and KNOW HOW licensed to LICENSEE by ACT.
ARTICLE 8 –
INDEMNIFICATION,
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND
INSURANCE
8.1 LICENSEE
shall at all times during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, indemnify,
defend and hold harmless ACT and its affiliates, successors, assigns, agents,
officers, directors, shareholders and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”),
at LICENSEE’s sole cost and expense, against all liabilities of any kind
whatsoever, including legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out
of the death of or injury to any person or persons or out of any damage to
property resulting from the production, manufacture, sale, use, lease,
performance, consumption or advertisement of the LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED
PROCESSES or LICENSED SERVICES or arising from any obligation, act or omission,
or from a breach of any representation or warranty of LICENSEE hereunder,
excepting only claims that result from (a) the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of ACT, (b) any
material breach by ACT of its representations and warranties under this
Agreement, and (c) claims alleging that the use of any of the PATENT RIGHTS or
KNOW-HOW infringe upon any patent, trade secret, or moral right of any third
party. The indemnification obligations set forth herein are
subject to the following conditions: (i) the Indemnified Party shall notify
LICENSEE in writing promptly upon learning of any claim or suit for which
indemnification is sought; (ii) LICENSEE shall have control of the defense or
settlement, provided
that the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to participate in such defense or settlement with counsel at its selection and
at its sole expense; and (iii) the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate
with the defense, at LICENSEE’s expense.

AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS A REPRESENTATION MADE OR WARRANTY GIVEN BY ACT
THAT THE PRACTICE BY LICENSEE OF THE LICENSE GRANTED HEREUNDER SHALL NOT
INFRINGE THE PATENT RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL ACT,
ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES AND AFFILIATES BE
LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ECONOMIC
DAMAGE OR INJURY TO PROPERTY AND LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ACT SHALL
BE ADVISED, SHALL HAVE OTHER REASON TO KNOW, OR IN FACT SHALL KNOW OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
8.3 LICENSEE
agrees to maintain insurance or self-insurance that is reasonably adequate to
fulfill any potential obligation to the indemnified parties. LICENSEE
shall continue to maintain such insurance or self-insurance during the term of
this Agreement and after the expiration or termination of this Agreement for a
period of five (5) years.
ARTICLE 9 –

circumstances ought reasonably be treated as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of the
disclosing party. ACT and LICENSEE each intend to maintain the confidential or
trade secret status of their CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each shall
exercise reasonable care to protect the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of the other

other’s written permission. Upon termination or expiration of this

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

potential co-developers, manufacturers, marketers, or distributors of any
LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSED PROCESS, or LICENSED SERVICE, and in any prospectus,
offering, memorandum, or other document or filing required by applicable
securities laws or other applicable law or regulation. The parties
may also disclose CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION that is required to be disclosed to
comply with applicable law or court order, provided that the recipient gives
reasonable prior written notice of the required disclosure to the discloser and
reasonably cooperates with the discloser’s efforts to prevent such
disclosure.
