(c) Xtent shall not sublicense any of its rights acquired hereunder without the prior written consent of Occam, which consent may be withheld in Occam's sole discretion.
2.2 Grant of Distribution Rights to Occam. Xtent hereby grants to Occam and its Affiliates the exclusive rights to distribute the Coated Stents in Pacific Rim Countries (including Japan), for a period of five (5) years commencing upon the date in each such country on which approval is received from the appropriate regulatory agency. The foregoing grant is subject to the following:
(a) Occam shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at its own expense, all such appropriate approvals as soon as commercially practicable in each of the Pacific Rim Countries; provided, however, that if Occam fails to apply for such approval in any particular country [*] then the right to distribute in that country shall become non-exclusive for that country alone and Occam shall continue to possess the exclusive rights to distribute in those countries in which approvals have been sought;
(b) Commencing with the second year after approval is received from the MHLW and continuing each year thereafter, Occam shall meet mutually agreed-upon minimum sales requirements for each of such years. For purposes of clarity, there shall be no minimum sales requirement for the first year after such approval is received. [*] Occam shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize sales of Xtent's Stents for use in Pacific Rim Countries. Occam's use of commercially reasonable efforts shall be evaluated on a country-by-country basis within sixty (60) days of the end of each calendar year commencing after the second year. If Xtent believes Occam has failed to use commercially reasonable efforts in any particular Pacific Rim Country, it shall notify Occam in writing, and Occam shall have thirty (30) days to challenge Xtent. If Occam does so challenge, then the parties shall submit the matter to binding arbitration by a disinterested third party to be agreed upon by the parties. If Occam fails to challenge Xtent with thirty (30) days, it shall have ninety (90) days in which to demonstrate that it has commenced using commercially reasonable efforts in such country, and failing such demonstration, Xtent shall have the right terminate the exclusive distribution rights in that particular country at the end of such ninety (90) day period. Thereafter, Occam's right to distribute in such country shall be non-exclusive, with Occam retaining exclusive distribution rights in all other Pacific Rim Countries in which it has used commercially reasonable efforts.
(c) At the time such regulatory approvals are first received, the Parties shall mutually agree upon a price to be paid by Occam for the transfer of the Coated Stents, which transfer price will be determined in accordance with the market price and prevailing sales commissions for similar competitive products in the applicable Pacific Rim Countries; at the same time, the Parties shall mutually agree on additional terms and conditions regarding such distribution. [*]
2.3 Diligence and Limited Exclusivity.
(a) Xtent hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to commercialize the Coated Stents, to conduct such tests and trials and obtain such approvals, at its own cost, as may be necessary for the sale of the Coated Stents in the United States and other markets at Xtent's option, and to maximize royalties therefrom.
(b) Subject to Section 5.2, Section 11.2, and Section 12.6, during the term of this Agreement, Xtent shall not make, use, sell or offer to sell any drug eluting Stent using rapamycin, or any rapamycin derivative other than Biolimus A9.

COATING SERVICES
3.1 Cooperation Regarding Development of Process for Coating Services. Beginning on the Effective Date, the Parties shall work cooperatively and use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and improve a process for coating Xtent's Stents, which process meets Xtent's quality and performance requirements. Those requirements include reproducibility of the process and results, scalability (the ability to coat a number of Xtent's Stents consistent with commercial manufacturing and sales volumes), and cost-effectiveness (as described in Section 3.8(a)). Process development will occur at Occam's facility, to which Xtent personnel will have reasonable access, subject to Occam's supervision, and with advance notice to Occam as necessary to carry out process development as set forth herein.
3.2 Purchase of Coating Services. Subject to the terms of Section 3.8 below. Xtent shall retain the services of Occam or its designee on a contract basis to apply Occam's Drug/Polymer Composite Formulation or, if applicable, Biolimus A9 or Occam's Polymer Coating, to Xtent Stents (the "Coating Services"), and Xtent shall only use Occam or its designee to perform the Coating Services for Coated Stents. In the event of any shortage of capacity or material relating to Occam's Drug/Polymer Composite Formulation (or, if applicable, Biolimus A9 or Occam's Polymer Coating), Occam shall allocate such resources to fill Xtent's orders in the same proportion as Xtent's orders relate to orders from all customers of Occam. Such allocation does not limit or reduce each Party's obligations and rights under Section 3.8, which apply regardless of such allocation.
3.3 Lubricious Coating. Beginning on the Effective Date and continuing for a period of six (6) months thereafter, Xtent will evaluate using Occam's Lubricious Coating for the catheter within the Xtent Stent System. If Xtent elects in its sole discretion to use such Lubricious Coating, then the Parties will negotiate industry standard and customary purchase and supply terms for Occam's Lubricious Coating, subject to Section 3.7. Pursuant to such purchase and supply terms, Occam shall supply sufficient quantities of Occam's Lubricious Coating for Xtent to apply or have applied to the catheters within the Xtent Stent System; application of Occam's Lubricious Coating must be according to the manufacturing documentation and work instructions supplied by Occam.
3.4 Purchase Orders, Forecasts and Supply Terms for Coating Services and/or Occam's Drug/Polymer Composite Formulation. Commencing within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, at the beginning of each calendar quarter, Xtent shall provide a forecast of the number of Xtent's Stents to be coated during the following twelve (12) month period (the "Forecasts"), by month. The first three (3) months of each Forecast shall be binding on Xtent and the balance shall be for planning purposes. In addition, Xtent shall provide Occam with purchase orders for the Coating Services (the "Purchase Orders") corresponding with at least the binding portion of each Forecast. The Purchase Orders shall specify the number of Stents which Xtent desires to be coated by Occam and Xtent's desired date of completion, which in any case shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the date on which the Purchase Order is delivered to Occam. The Purchase Orders shall also include delivery dates, lead times, shipping or delivery instructions and other standard and customary terms. Each such Purchase Order shall be subject to acceptance by Occam, except that Occam shall accept all Purchase Orders corresponding to the number of Stents in the binding portion of the Forecast for such months. To the extent any such Purchase Orders for any month exceed 100% of the Forecast issued ninety (90) days prior to such month, Occam shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to coat such excess number of Stents. Each Purchase Order and any acknowledgment thereof shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement and the other provisions agreed to in writing in advance, rather than any inconsistent terms which may be set forth in the Purchase Order or acknowledgment, except for those terms specifying quantity, delivery dates, shipping or delivery instructions and other general information not inconsistent with the established terms. Unless otherwise agreed, title to Xtent's Stents and the Xtent Stent Systems shall remain with Xtent.

3.8 Xtent's Right to Manufacture in Certain Events.
(a) Contingent Manufacturing Right. In the event Occam fails to fill [*] of Xtent's orders for Coating Services that it is required to fulfill pursuant to Section 3.2 and 3.4 above over a period of [*] Xtent may provide written notice to Occam of such failure. Provided that Xtent is not in default hereunder, the parties shall meet promptly after Xtent provides such notice to negotiate in good faith and agree on (i) a plan for Occam to begin fully fulfilling Xtent's orders in a timely manner, or (ii) a plan to grant to Xtent the right to manufacture Occam's Drag/Polymer Composite Formulation and to apply it to Xtent's Stents. If Occam is unable to cure such default within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of such notice (a "Supply Failure"), and Xtent is not in material default under this Agreement, then Xtent shall have the right to purchase from Occam the formulation it had been using in connection with the Xtent Stent System, whether Occam's Drug/Polymer Composite Formulation, Biolimus A9, Occam's Polymer Coating or some combination thereof, and shall further have the right to perform the Coating Services on Xtent's Stents. In that case, the purchase price for Occam's Drug/Polymer Composite Formulation (or, if applicable, Biolimus A9 or Occam's Polymer Coating) shall not exceed the price that Xtent had been paying under Section 3.7 above, less Occam's direct costs of labor which would have been expended had Occam performed the Coating Services on such Stents. When determining whether there has been a Supply Failure, Occam shall not be required to increase coating unit volume for the Xtent's Stents, in any given month, in excess of twenty percent (20%) above the average volume over the immediately preceding two-month period.
(b) Licensed Assets. In the event of a Supply Failure, Occam shall grant and does hereby grant a non-exclusive license to Xtent during the period in which Occam is unable or unwilling to perform the coating services, but not to exceed the balance of the term of this Agreement, under the Licensed Assets, to enable Xtent to perform or have performed the Coating Services on the Xtent's Stents on its own and in its own facility or the facility of a third party, subject to Section 12.6. If Occam possesses any tooling or fixtures made specifically to provide Coating Services for the Xtent's Stents and Xtent Stent Systems, Occam shall transfer such items to Xtent as part of the Licensed Assets being licensed hereunder for a price which shall equal Occam's replacement costs for such tooling or fixtures, subject to Section 12.6.

Xtent will maintain sufficient records to permit the audit for five (5) years after the completion of each respective reporting period. Xtent will prepare its records and reports according to GAAP. Upon completion of any audit, the auditors will report to Occam the amount of the discrepancy in payment, if any, and Occam will promptly provide a copy of the results to Xtent. If an audit reveals an underpayment or overpayment by Xtent, Xtent will pay, or Occam will refund or credit Xtent, as applicable, the amount due. Xtent may, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the first audit, in good faith challenge the results of the audit by providing written records consistent with its challenge, or by having a separate audit conducted by an independent third party, at Xtent's own cost. If an audit reveals an underpayment of more than five percent (5%), Xtent will pay all of Occam's cost associated with the audit and interest on the underpayment computed from the date of such underpayment at an annual rate equal to the U.S. prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the date of such underpayment plus two percent (2%), or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, if less.
4.3 Payment Procedures; Taxes and Witholdings. Each amount required to be paid under this Agreement to Occam will be paid via wire transfer to an account designated in writing by Occam. Xtent shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold Occam harmless from, all taxes, duties and levies directly imposed by all foreign, federal, state, local or other taxing authorities (including, without limitation, export, sales, use, excise, and value-added taxes) based on transactions or payments under this Agreement, other than taxes imposed on Occam's net income. All amounts payable hereunder by Xtent shall be paid without deduction or withholding for or on account of Occam; provided, however, that if Xtent is required by law to deduct or withhold any taxes, levies, or charges in respect of any amounts payable to Occam hereunder, Xtent shall pay the relevant taxation authority the minimum amounts necessary to comply with applicable law in a timely manner prior to the date on which interest or penalties will attach thereto and shall pay to Occam such additional amounts as may be necessary so that the net payments made to Occam after any such deduction or withholding will be equal to the amount that Occam would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. As a condition of Xtent paying the foregoing amounts without deduction for taxes, however, Occam shall provide to Xtent all necessary forms, statements, certifications or other documents as are required to qualify for a reduction in or exemption from withholding, including but not limited to filing a form W8BEN prior to the date the first royalty payment is due. Occam and Xtent shall reasonably cooperate in obtaining such reduction or exemption from withholding.

Occam shall keep Xtent informed of the progress of any regulatory actions related to the Occam Items and shall provide updates at least once per calendar quarter, and more often if necessary.
If any such testing required to be done by Occam is done by a third party on Occam's behalf or under license from Occam or one of its Affiliates, then with respect to any testing or clinical data developed or gathered in such testing and relevant to obtaining, approvals of Xtent's Stent or the Xtent Stent System, Occam shall obtain access to the data which may be necessary for Xtent pursuant to Section 5.7. To the extent such information is subject to confidentiality obligations to such a third party, Occam shall provide the data for use only by the applicable regulatory bodies without disclosure of such third party confidential data. If Occam is unable to supply such data or provide a cross-reference to the requisite third-party data, Occam shall perform testing and provide equivalent data for Xtent's regulatory filings.
(b) If Biolimus A9 or Occam's Drug/Polymer Composite Formulation has not met approvability requirements for approval by the MHLW or the FDA or a notified body for CE Xxxx approval within thirty-six (36) months after the Effective Date, or if at any time Occam abandons development or testing of Biolimus A9 or the Drug/Polymer Composite Formulation, then, at Xtent's option, (i) Xtent may terminate this Agreement with thirty (30) days written notice, or (ii) at Xtent's option the Agreement will continue pursuant to the licenses under Sections 2.1(a) and (b), but Section 2.3(b) shall terminate.

The parties understand and agree that Xtent, itself or through its agents, shall have the sole right to correspond with and submit regulatory applications and other filings to the FDA, MHLW or other regulatory agencies to obtain approvals to import, export, sell or otherwise commercialize the Coated Stents alone or with other products or services (collectively, "Approvals") as Xtent deems useful or necessary. Accordingly, except as otherwise required by law, Occam shall not correspond directly with the FDA, MHLW or any other regulatory agency relating to the process of obtaining Approvals or any obtained Approval for the Coated Stents, without Xtent's prior permission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Occam agrees to assist Xtent, as reasonably requested by Xtent and at Xtent's expense, in preparing, submitting and maintaining applications for such
11
Approvals. In connection with Occam's assistance therewith, Xtent agrees to provide Occam with copies of all communications and filings with regulatory agencies.
5.5 If Occam desires to make a significant change in its manufacturing methods, specifications, quality systems or other related issues affecting Occam Items, Occam shall provide Xtent with information regarding such significant change. Occam shall work with Xtent to enable it to maintain its regulatory approvals. Occam shall only make any such significant change(s) (i) after regulatory approval for such change(s) has been obtained or (ii) Occam confirms after consultation with Xtent that approval of the change(s) is not required. For the purpose of this section, "significant change" means any change of which Xtent needs to be informed due to applicable legal or governmental requirements or any change clearly noticeable on Occam Items or packaging.
5.6 Reporting. Pursuant to the FDA's, the MHLW's, or any other applicable regulatory agency's regulations and policies, Xtent may be required to report to such regulatory agency information that reasonably suggests that the Coated Stents may have caused or contributed to the death or serious injury, and Occam may be required to report to such regulatory agency information that reasonably suggests that the Occam Items may have caused or contributed to the death or serious injury. Accordingly, a Party reporting such information to such a regulatory agency shall inform the other Party of any such information promptly after becoming aware of it so that the other Party can comply with its own reporting requirements.
5.7 Information. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.5 above, Occam shall promptly provide Xtent with all written and other information, in Occam's control (excluding confidential information of third parties, except to the extent such information is required to be provided or obtained pursuant to Section 5.2), that is necessary or useful for Xtent to apply for, obtain and thereafter maintain Approvals (as defined in Section 5.4) for the Coated Stents in Europe, Japan and the United States, including, without limitation, information relating to the facilities at which the Coating Services are performed and at which the Occam Items are manufactured, processed or packaged, information about process, methodology or components used in such Coating Services or the manufacture, processing, or packaging of Occam Items.
(a) Also, without limiting the provisions of this Section 5.7, Occam and Xtent agree to meet at least once per quarter at which time Occam shall inform Xtent when any information provided hereunder is no longer current or no longer reflective of current practices related to processing, manufacturing, packaging and performing the Occam Items, and shall provide updated information to Xtent.
(b) For avoidance of doubt, to the extent such the information provided to Xtent under this Section 5.7 is Confidential Information of Occam, then the same shall be subject to the provisions of ARTICLE X below.

(c) the research, development, use, sale or commercialization by Xtent or any of its Sublicensees of any Royalty Bearing Products, or any other product utilizing any of the Licensed Assets, except for any liability or obligation arising from Occam's work in connection therewith;
(d) any liability or obligation arising from or in connection with the tests, trials, and/or submissions conducted or performed by Xtent or its Sublicensees, except for any liability or obligation arising from Occam's work in connection therewith; and
(e) any breach of any duties or obligations respecting the use and/or disclosure of Occam's (or its Affiliates') Confidential Information by Xtent and/or its Sublicensees.
Xtent's liability to Occam's Indemnified Persons hereunder shall not exceed, in the aggregate, that amount paid to Occam by Xtent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, unless and solely to the extent such Losses arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Xtent.
19
9.3 Limitation on General Indemnification. Neither Occam nor Xtent will have any indemnification liability under this Article unless one or more of the Indemnified Persons gives written notice to the applicable Indemnifying Person asserting a claim for indemnification in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.4 of this Agreement.
9.4 Notice and Procedures.
(a) An Indemnified Person will give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Person of each claim for indemnification hereunder, specifying the amount and nature of the claim, and of any matter which in the opinion of the Indemnifying Person is likely to give rise to an indemnification claim. The omission to give such notice to an Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability under this Article except to the extent it was prejudiced thereby. As soon as practicable after the date of such notice, the Indemnified Person will provide the Indemnifying Person all information and documentation necessary to support and verify the Losses so claimed and the Indemnifying Person and its representatives will be given access to all books and records in the possession or control of the Indemnified Person which the Indemnifying Person reasonably determines to be related to such claim. The Indemnifying Person will have the right to defend the Indemnified Person against such claim for Losses with counsel of its choice.
(b) So long as the Indemnifying Person is conducting the defense of the claim for Losses in accordance with this Section 9.4, (i) the Indemnified Person may retain separate co-counsel, at its sole cost and expense, and participate in the defense of the claim, (ii) the Indemnified Person will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (iii) the Indemnified Person will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Person's defense of such claim, and (iv) the Indemnifying Person will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the claim without the prior. written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that such consent of the Indemnified Person will not be required if the judgment or settlement contains a full release of claims against the Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.4, if an Indemnified Person withholds its consent to a bona fide settlement offer, where but for such action the Indemnifying Person could have settled such claim, the Indemnifying Person will be required to indemnify the Indemnified Person only up to a maximum of the bona fide settlement offer for which the Indemnifying Person could have settled such claim.
9.5 Payment of Indemnification. Claims of indemnification under this Article will be paid or otherwise satisfied by the Indemnifying Person within thirty (30) days after notice thereof is given by the Indemnified Person and after the parties agree on the allocation of responsibility for the items underlying those claims of indemnification. Unless the Party receiving a claim of indemnification objects within fifteen (15) days to the amount or allocation, it will be deemed to have agreed on the allocation represented by the claim of indemnification. Payments made after the due date will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal as of the 30th day following such notice plus five percent (5%), or the maximum allowed by law, if less, but not to exceed twelve percent (12%), in each case on that portion of the claim that represents actual out- of- pocket expenses paid by the Indemnified Person (if any).
20
10.1 Confidentiality.
(a) "Confidential Information" means, except as provided below, confidential and proprietary information of a Party, whether in written, printed, verbal or electronic form, and whether disclosed before or after the Effective Date, including research and development activities, product design details and specifications, molecular structures, technology and know-how, sales and marketing plans, finances and business forecasts, procurement requirements and vendor information, customer lists, personnel information and strategic plans. Confidential Information will not include information that: (i) is now, or hereafter becomes generally known or available to the public through no act or failure to act on the part of the receiving Party; (ii) was acquired by the receiving Party before receiving such information from the disclosing Party through no breach of any duty of confidentiality owed to the disclosing Party and without restriction as to use or disclosure; (iii) is hereafter rightfully furnished to the receiving Party by a third party without any breach of any duty of confidentiality owed to the disclosing Party and without restriction as to use or disclosure; or (iv) is information that the receiving Party can document was independently developed by the receiving Party without use of the disclosing Party's Confidential Information.
(b) Each Party, when it is the receiving Party agrees: (i) to hold the disclosing Party's Confidential Information in strict confidence and not to disclose such Confidential Information to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party; (ii) not to use, at any time following the execution of this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party for its own benefit or for the benefit of any other person or entity for any purpose other than for the express purposes permitted under this Agreement; and (iii) to limit the disclosure of Confidential Information to Permitted Persons. For purposes hereof, the term "Permitted Person" shall mean the receiving officers, directors, employees and agents who have a need to know in order to carry out the obligations under this Agreement, provided each has agreed in writing to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information in a manner no less protective than that set forth herein and "Permitted Persons" shall be deemed to include the Affiliates of Occam. Each Party shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with the provisions contained in this Section 10.1 by their respective officers, directors, employees and agents.
(c) The restrictions contained in this Section 10.1 will not apply to any disclosures by Occam to prospective investors, acquirers or other financing sources in private business discussions. Occam will be permitted to disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement with any prospective investor, acquirer or other financing source, so long as such third party has agreed in writing to be bound by confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those contained in this Section 10.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Occam shall not disclose, without the prior written consent of Xtent, any Confidential Information related to Xtent's Stent or the Xtent Stent System.
(d) In the event a receiving Party is required to disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing Party by any applicable law, regulation, legal process, judicial order or by any applicable order or requirement of any governmental or regulatory authority, it may do so only to the extent required thereby; provided, however, that the receiving Party will (i) use reasonable efforts under the circumstances to provide advance notice to the disclosing Party of the required disclosure to allow the disclosing Party an opportunity to take steps to object to, prevent or limit its disclosure or obtain a protective or other similar order with respect to the required disclosure and (ii) restrict disclosure to only that portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed.
(e) The receiving Party agrees that its obligations hereunder are necessary and reasonable to protect the disclosing Party's business interests and that the unauthorized disclosure or use of the
21
disclosing Party's Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm and significant injury, the degree of which may be difficult to ascertain. The receiving Party further acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement, the disclosing Party may seek an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, as well as the right to pursue any and all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach.
(f) Upon the request of the disclosing Party and/or termination of this Agreement, the receiving Party will promptly return to the disclosing Party or destroy all material embodying Confidential Information in its possession or under its control, including all copies thereof, provided however, the receiving Party shall be entitled to retain any such material that it is required to maintain pursuant to applicable law or regulation.

11.2 Termination or Limitation by Xtent.
(a) Xtent's exclusivity obligations under Section 2.3(b) will terminate (i) as set forth in Section 5.2(b); or (ii) if Xtent is subject to a Change of Control (as defined in Section 12.6).
(b) The license from Xtent to Occam under Section 2.2 automatically will be converted to a non-exclusive license (i) as set forth in Section 2.2(a), or (ii) if Occam fails to meet any minimum sales commitments agreed to under Section 2.2(b) in any period.
11.3 Termination for Cause.
(a) By Xtent. This Agreement may be terminated by Xtent if at any time following the Effective Date: (i) Xtent determines that there existed a breach of any representation or warranty by Occam contained in this Agreement in any material respect at the Effective Date and Occam fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice thereof from Xtent; or (ii) Occam fails to perform any post-execution obligation or covenant contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that if such failure is capable of being cured, then such termination right will not exist unless such failure has not been cured within sixty (60) days of Xtent's delivery to Occam of written notice of such failure or (iii) pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2(b).
(b) By Occam. In addition to the termination provisions contained elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by Occam if at any time following the Effective Date: (i) Occam determines that there existed a breach of any representation or warranty by Xtent contained in this Agreement in any material respect at the Effective Date and Xtent fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice thereof from Occam; (ii) Xtent fails to perform any post-execution obligation or covenant contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that if such failure is capable of being cured, then such termination right will not exist unless such failure has not been cured within sixty (60) days of Occam's delivery to Xtent of written notice of such failure; (iii) pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2(d), or (iv) Xtent fails to obtain CE Xxxx approval for a Royalty Bearing Product within forty-eight (48) months after the Effective Date or fails to commence commercial sales of Coated Stents within forty-eight (48) months after the Effective Date; provided, however, that such time period shall be extended on a one-for-one basis for each day during which Xtent's ability to obtain such approval is delayed by Occam's inability or failure to obtain its approval, commencing thirty-six (36) months after the Effective Date.
22
(c) By Either Party for Insolvency. In addition to the above rights to terminate, either Party may terminate on ten (10) days' written notice to the other if that other Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a petition in bankruptcy, is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, or if a receiver or trustee is appointed with respect to a substantial part of its assets or a similar proceeding is commenced against that Party that would substantially impair its ability to perform hereunder.
11.4 Effect of Termination. Each Party's right of termination under this Article is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Article, all further rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, including, without limitation, the license granted hereunder, except that the rights and obligations set forth in Sections 3.7(d), 4.2 (excluding 4.2(d)), 4.3, 5.4, 5.6, and 11.4, and ARTICLE VI, ARTICLE VII, ARTICLE VIII, ARTICLE IX, ARTICLE X, and ARTICLE XII, and each of their subparts, will survive in accordance with their respective terms; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a Party because of the breach of this Agreement by another Party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating Party's obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of another Party's failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating Party's right to pursue all remedies will survive such termination unimpaired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a termination, Xtent shall continue to have the rights granted herein to the extent necessary to sell any remaining inventory and to complete and sell any work-in-process, subject to the payment of percentage royalties as set forth in Section 4.2 and all payments due to Occam shall be made by Xtent.

No other press releases or any public disclosure, either written or oral, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be made that discloses additional information without the mutual consent of the Parties, except to announce the execution of this Agreement or to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation (including stock exchange requirement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the any disclosure by Xtent of Occam's Confidential Information related to Occam's Drug/Polymer Composite Formulation, Biolimus A9, Occam's Polymer Costing or Occam's Lubricious Coating following the execution of this Agreement, which is hereby prohibited under all circumstances without the prior written approval of Occam.
12.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all exhibits) and all documents delivered pursuant to or referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and all promises, representations, understandings, warranties, agreements and inducements to the making of this Agreement relied upon by any Party have been expressed in this Agreement or in such documents.

Additionally, to the extent any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, it will be interpreted and applied as close to its original meaning as is permissible.
12.6 Assignability. Except in connection with a Change of Control, which is subject to Section 12.6(a)-(d), neither this Agreement, nor any right or obligation hereunder, may be assigned by Xtent without the prior written consent of Occam. In addition, except in connection with a Change of Control, any attempted transfer by Xtent of the technology related to the Occam Items shall be subject to the prior written approval of Occam. Unless otherwise expressly consented to by Occam, no assignment by Xtent will relieve Xtent of any obligations under any agreement, document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement will be null and void and shall give Occam the option to immediately terminate this Agreement. Occam shall have the right to assign this Agreement in its discretion. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(a) In the event Occam enters into an agreement for a Change of Control or grants another entity an option or right to enter into an agreement for a Change of Control, the acquiring or surviving entity shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(ii) If at the time of such Change of Control the acquiring entity markets a Stent for coronary or peripheral applications incorporating Rapamycin or an analog thereof, then Occam's obligations under Section 3.8 following a Supply Failure shall terminate except for the obligation to transfer to such entity tooling and fixtures developed specifically for Xtent's Stent; provided, however, that in the event of such a Change of Control, if a Supply Failure occurs as set forth in Section 3.8 above, Occam shall supply to the acquiring or surviving entity its requirements of Occam's Drug/Polymer Composite Formulation, Biolimus A9, Occam's Polymer Coating, and Occam's Lubricious Coating for purposes of incorporating such items with Xtent's Stents and Xtent Stent Systems (whether in its own facility or through a third party in another facility); and further provided that the license set forth in Section 3.8 to perform or have performed the Coating Services shall remain in force but only for the limited purpose of allowing such entity to incorporate Occam's Drug/Polymer Composite Formulation, Biolimus A9, Occam's Polymer Coating, and Occam's Lubricious Coating with Xtent's Stents and Xtent Stent Systems without the use of Occam's Confidential Information (including the Licensed Know-How) pertaining to the Occam Items.

If Xtent reasonably believes that a change of control may occur, Xtent shall promptly notify Occam and Xtent shall promptly return to Occam all of Occam's Confidential Information as may be requested in writing by Occam, except that which is necessary for the foregoing.
(c) In the event Xtent enters into an agreement for a Change of Control, or grants another entity an option or right to enter into an agreement for a Change of Control, Xtent or the surviving entity-shall have the right, but not the obligation, to either (i) terminate this Agreement and all rights hereunder upon thirty (30) days written notice to Xtent; or (ii) terminate the exclusivity obligations under Section 2.3(b).
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, "Change of Control" means a transaction or a series of related transactions in which (i) one or more related parties who did not previously own at least a fifty percent (50%) interest in a Party to this Agreement obtain at least a fifty percent (50%) interest in such Party, or (ii) a third party acquires all or substantially all of the assets to which this Agreement relates, or (iii) a Party acquires, by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise, all or any portion of another legal entity such that either the assets or market value of such Party after the close of such transaction are greater than one hundred thirty-three percent (133%) of the assets or market value of such Party prior to such transaction.

12.16 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for delay or failure in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement if and to the extent such delay or failure is due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including, but not limited to, fires, floods, explosions, accidents, acts of God, war, riot, strike, lockout or other concerted acts of workers, acts of government; provided, however, that the Party claiming that a force majeure has affected its performance shall give notice to the other Party within ten (10) days of becoming aware of the occurrence offeree majeure, giving full particulars of the cause or event and the date of first occurrence thereof. The Party claiming force majeure shall use its best efforts to eliminate or prevent the cause so as to continue performing its obligations under this Agreement as soon as possible.
