TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT

THIS TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is executed on July 19, 2005 (the “Effective Date”) by and between XXXXXX XXXXX MEDICAMENT S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of France with headquarters at 00, xxxxx Xxxx-Xxxxx, 00000 XXXXXXXX, XXXXXX (“XXXXXX XXXXX”), and NOVACEA, INC., a Delaware corporation with a principal place of business at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, XXXXX XXX XXXXXXXXX, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, X.X.X. (“NOVACEA”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, XXXXXX XXXXX and NOVACEA are entering into a Patent and Know-How License Agreement and a Supply Agreement with respect to the development, marketing and sale of a Vinca Alkaloid derivative known as “VINORELBINE” (INN), formulated in softgel capsules and already registered, marketed and sold by XXXXXX XXXXX or its Affiliates in various countries, and

WHEREAS, in connection with the rights and licenses granted to NOVACEA under such Patent and Know-How License Agreement, XXXXXX XXXXX agrees to further grant to NOVACEA a license to use the Trademark [*], including if necessary or desirable, an alternative trademark that would also be owned by XXXXXX XXXXX, to market and sell the Licensed Product in the NOVACEA Territory.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1 – DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Agreement, the capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE 2 – TRADEMARK LICENSE

2.1.	License Grant by XXXXXX XXXXX to NOVACEA.

2.1.1. License Grant by XXXXXX XXXXX to NOVACEA. XXXXXX XXXXX hereby grants to NOVACEA, and NOVACEA accepts, an exclusive right and license to identify the Licensed Product by means of the Trademark in the NOVACEA Territory and to promote, market and sell such Licensed Product in the NOVACEA Territory under the Trademark (the “Trademark License”).

2.1.2. Obligation to use Trademark. During the Royalty Term of this Agreement, NOVACEA agrees to use the Trademark in each country of the NOVACEA Territory to identify, promote, market and sell the Licensed Product. No later than twelve (12) months prior to the end of the Royalty Term, NOVACEA shall notify XXXXXX XXXXX in writing of its decision whether

[*] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

or not to continue using the Trademark after expiration of the Royalty Term. If NOVACEA decides to use the Trademark after expiration of the Royalty Term, this Agreement shall remain in effect and NOVACEA shall continue to use the Trademark until it otherwise notifies XXXXXX XXXXX pursuant to Section 9.1. If NOVACEA decides not to use the Trademark after expiration of the Royalty Term, NOVACEA’s right to use the Trademark shall be of no further force and effect after expiration of the Royalty Term. If NOVACEA fails to deliver timely notice pursuant to this Section 2.1.2, it shall be deemed to have elected to continue to use the Trademark after the expiration of the Royalty Term.

2.1.3. Use of Substitute Trademark after End of Royalty Term. If NOVACEA elects not to use the Trademark after expiration of the Royalty Term, NOVACEA may adopt a substitute trademark for use on the Licensed Product after expiration of the Royalty Term (the “Substitute Trademark”). All right, title and interest in and to any such Substitute Trademark shall belong to NOVACEA and said Substitute Trademark shall not be regarded as a Trademark within the scope of this Agreement. XXXXXX XXXXX shall provide all reasonably requested assistance to NOVACEA in the transition from use of the Trademark to use of NOVACEA’s Substitute Trademark and NOVACEA shall reimburse XXXXXX XXXXX for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such assistance.

2.1.4. Restriction on XXXXXX XXXXX use of Substitute Trademark. Recognizing that the goodwill in any Substitute Trademark will be the result of efforts by NOVACEA, XXXXXX XXXXX agrees not to use such Substitute Trademark, or any trademark confusingly similar thereto, on any product or service.

2.2.	Alternative Trademark.

2.2.1. Choice of Alternative Trademark. If within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Effective Date, NOVACEA determines that [*] should not be used to identify the Licensed Product and that an alternative trademark is preferable, then NOVACEA shall have the right to propose an alternative trademark to XXXXXX XXXXX (for XXXXXX XXXXX’X approval, not to be unreasonably withheld if such alternative trademark is consistent with the Global Commercialization Strategy) for identifying, promoting, marketing and selling the Licensed Product in the NOVACEA Territory (the “Alternative Trademark”). NOVACEA will undertake the obligation and expense of conducting a comprehensive trademark search of any Alternative Trademark for use in each country in the NOVACEA Territory, and XXXXXX XXXXX will undertake the obligation and expense of filing applications to register said Alternative Trademark in each such country. When (i) the Alternative Trademark is approved by the Parties, (ii) trademark applications for the Alternative Trademark have proceeded to the stage where they are no longer subject to opposition in the United States and Canada, and (iii) such Alternative Trademark receives regulatory approval, then all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the use and registration of such Alternative Trademark and, thereafter the term “Trademark” shall include such Alternative Trademark. In the event that an Alternative Trademark approved by the Parties is not registrable in the United States or Canada, NOVACEA may propose another Alternative Trademark and the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall be applicable thereto.

[*] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

2.2.2. Use of Alternative Trademark by XXXXXX XXXXX. XXXXXX XXXXX shall have the right to use any Alternative Trademark chosen by NOVACEA pursuant to Section 2.2.1 (i) in the XXXXXX XXXXX Territory during and after the Royalty Term and (ii) in each country of the NOVACEA Territory with respect to which Termination (as defined in Section 9.3 below) has occurred.

2.3.	Trademark Ownership, Trade Names and Logos.

2.3.1. Trademark Ownership. NOVACEA agrees to accurately reflect XXXXXX XXXXX’x identity as manufacturer and licensor of the Licensed Product and owner of the Trademark on packaging, package inserts, Licensed Product literature, promotional materials and advertising literature in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

2.3.2. XXXXXX XXXXX Trade Names and Logos. So long as NOVACEA uses the Trademark in the NOVACEA Territory, XXXXXX XXXXX hereby grants to NOVACEA a limited non-exclusive right to the use in the NOVACEA Territory of certain of its trade names and logos to be specifically selected by the JCC in connection with the development and commercialization activities provided for in the Patent and Know-How License Agreement subject to the applicable terms of this Agreement and any of the Related Agreements. Except as provided above in this Section 2.3.2, NOVACEA’s rights and obligations with respect to the use of such names and logos shall be subject to the same terms as its use of the Trademark under this Agreement.

2.3.3. NOVACEA Trade Name and Logo. NOVACEA shall have the right to adopt and use, in its labeling and advertising for the Licensed Product, its own trade name and/or logo. Each Party shall retain all right, title and interest in and to its respective trade names and logos.

2.4.	Right to Sublicense.

2.4.1. NOVACEA Right to Sublicense Affiliates. NOVACEA shall have the right to grant sublicenses to its Affiliates under the Trademark License in the NOVACEA Territory without any XXXXXX XXXXX consent required.

2.4.2. Sublicense to Third Parties. NOVACEA shall have the right to grant sublicenses under the Trademark License to Third Parties in Canada in conjunction with any sublicense of those NOVACEA Licenses granted to it by XXXXXX XXXXX under the Softgel Patents and the XXXXXX XXXXX Know-How to use and sell a Licensed Product containing such Trademark in Canada, where the sublicense of such NOVACEA Licenses is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 2.4.2 of the Patent and Know-How License Agreement.

2.4.3. Responsibilities of NOVACEA. NOVACEA shall be responsible for performing all of its obligations set forth in this Agreement, without regard to whether it has granted any sublicense under this Section 2.4. Without limitation of the foregoing in this Section 2.4, NOVACEA shall be responsible for reporting to XXXXXX XXXXX the sales of Licensed Product by any sublicensee or designee and paying the Trademark Royalties on Net Sales as set forth in Section 5.1, in each case as though such sales were made by NOVACEA itself. NOVACEA shall have no right to grant sublicenses to Third Parties in the USA under the Trademark License without the prior written consent of XXXXXX XXXXX, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion.

2.5.	Reasonable Assistance.

NOVACEA will, upon request, supply XXXXXX XXXXX or its authorized representative with any information as to its use of the Trademark which XXXXXX XXXXX may reasonably require and will render any assistance reasonably required by XXXXXX XXXXX in securing and maintaining the registration(s) of the Trademark in the NOVACEA Territory.

2.6. Goodwill.

Any accretion of goodwill derived by NOVACEA, its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees from the use of the Trademark in combination with or apart from XXXXXX XXXXX’x trade names and logos shall accrue to XXXXXX XXXXX and XXXXXX XXXXX may call for a confirmatory assignment thereof.

2.7.	Effectiveness of License.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 2, the grant to NOVACEA of the license and rights contemplated in this Agreement, shall be of no force and effect until the Effective Date.

Article 3 – MAINTENANCE OF THE TRADEMARK

3.1.	Registration of the Trademark.

XXXXXX XXXXX shall, at its own cost and expense, file in the NOVACEA Territory and endeavor in good faith to obtain the registration of the Trademark in the NOVACEA Territory and, when registered, thereafter shall maintain the applicable Trademark in the NOVACEA Territory at its own expense for the Royalty Term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as NOVACEA uses the Trademark in conjunction with the Licensed Product in the NOVACEA Territory.

3.2.	Rights as Between Parties.

NOVACEA acknowledges, as between the Parties, the exclusive right, title and interest of XXXXXX XXXXX in and to (i) the Trademark including any Alternative Trademark proposed to be used as provided in Section 2.2 hereof and (ii) certain trade names and logos of XXXXXX XXXXX as contemplated by Section 2.3.2 hereof; and NOVACEA will not do or cause to be done any act or thing contesting or, in any way, impairing or tending to impair any part of said right, title and interest for the duration of this Agreement and after its expiration. NOVACEA will not make any representations or do any act which may be taken to indicate that it has any right, title or interest in or to the ownership or use of the Trademark except under the terms of this Agreement and acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement shall give NOVACEA any right, title or interest in or to the Trademark save as granted hereby.

3.3.	Infringement.

3.3.1. Infringement by Third Parties. XXXXXX XXXXX and NOVACEA shall promptly notify the other in writing of any actual or threatened infringement by a Third Party or any challenge by a Third Party to the validity of the Trademark, or to XXXXXX XXXXX’X ownership

thereof or to NOVACEA’s, its Affiliate’s or its permitted sublicensees’ right to use the Trademark. Both Parties shall use their Diligent Efforts in cooperating with each other to terminate or avert such infringement or to resolve such challenge without litigation. XXXXXX XXXXX shall have the sole right to bring and control any action or proceeding with respect to infringement of the Trademark at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. NOVACEA shall cooperate fully with XXXXXX XXXXX and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by NOVACEA shall be reimbursed by XXXXXX XXXXX. If XXXXXX XXXXX fails to bring an action or proceeding within (a) sixty (60) days following the notification of actual or threatened infringement or (b) ten (10) business days before the time limit, if any, set forth in the appropriate laws and regulations for the filing of such actions or proceedings, whichever comes first, NOVACEA shall have the right to bring and control any such action or proceeding at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. In any such action or proceeding brought by NOVACEA, XXXXXX XXXXX shall have the right, at its own expense, to join and be represented by counsel of its own choice; if XXXXXX XXXXX does not desire to join in such action or proceeding but joinder is required in order to maintain the action or proceeding, XXXXXX XXXXX shall join and be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any infringement litigation under this Section 3.3.1 relating to the Trademark without the prior written consent of the other Party. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties as part of a cost sharing arrangement, any recovery realized as a result of such litigation, after reimbursement of any litigation expenses of XXXXXX XXXXX and NOVACEA, shall be divided evenly by the Parties to the extent the recovery relates to the NOVACEA Territory and shall be retained solely by XXXXXX XXXXX to the extent recovery relates to the XXXXXX XXXXX Territory.

3.3.2. Infringement of Third Party Rights. Each Party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any allegation made by a Third Party that the activity of either of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation use of the Trademark by NOVACEA, infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of such Third Party in the NOVACEA Territory. XXXXXX XXXXX shall initially have the sole right to control the defense to any such allegation, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and NOVACEA shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If XXXXXX XXXXX fails to proceed in a timely fashion with regard to such defense, NOVACEA shall have the right to control the defense of such allegation at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice; XXXXXX XXXXX shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any trademark infringement litigation under this Section 3.3.2 relating to the use of the Trademark in the NOVACEA Territory without the prior written consent of such other Party. Subject to Section 5.6, XXXXXX XXXXX will indemnify, defend, and hold NOVACEA, its Affiliates and permitted sublicensees harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such litigation or with dispute resolution (each, a “Liability”), to which any of them may become subject in connection with a claim, demand, suit or proceeding (“Action”) for trademark infringement arising out of the use by NOVACEA in the NOVACEA Territory of the [*] Trademark in accordance with this Agreement, provided that NOVACEA gives prompt notice to

4.2.	Inspections by XXXXXX XXXXX.

During the Royalty Term and thereafter, NOVACEA agrees to cooperate with XXXXXX XXXXX to enable XXXXXX XXXXX to control the nature and quality of the Licensed Product and the manner of use of the Trademark so that XXXXXX XXXXX may verify that the use of the Trademark is consistent with the agreed quality standards and Licensed Product Specifications.

Such Trademark Royalty shall accrue starting on the Date of Launch of the Licensed Product in each country of the NOVACEA Territory for the Royalty Term of this Agreement and thereafter, so long as NOVACEA, its Affiliates and/or permitted sublicensees continue to use the Trademark to promote, market and sell a Licensed Product under the Trademark in the NOVACEA Territory pursuant to Section 2.1.2 hereof.

[*] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

5.1.2. Generic Competition and Competing Products

(a)

The Parties acknowledge that the sale by NOVACEA of Licensed Product during the Royalty Term may be affected by competition from Third Parties that, for whatever reason, have chosen to compete notwithstanding the XXXXXX XXXXX Patents. In the event that there are lawful sales of a Generic Product in any Quarter during the Royalty Term, the Trademark Royalty applicable to Net Sales during such Quarter shall be indicated by W in the [*], in which “W” is the applicable percentage, “Y” is 1.0 and “Z” is the percentage points of Market Share (calculated as provided in Section 11.3.1 of the Patent and Know-How License Agreement), rounded to the nearest whole percentage point, captured by such Generic Product during such Quarter; provided, however, that in no event shall the applicable Trademark Royalty be less than [*] percent ([*]%). (As an example of how the applicable percentage W is calculated, assume that a Generic Product captures a Market Share of [*]%. The term (Y-Z) in the formula will be [*]. The applicable percentage of Net Sales payable to XXXXXX XXXXX will be [*] or [*] percent ([*]%).

(b)

With respect to sales of a Competing Product other than lawful sales of a Generic Product, when such Competing Product captures a Market Share in excess of [*] percent ([*]%) for any Quarter in a country of the NOVACEA Territory, the applicable Trademark Royalty for made in such country shall be reduced to [*] percent ([*]%).

5.2.	Royalty Due Dates.

Commencing with the first Date of Launch of the Licensed Product in a first country of the NOVACEA Territory, Trademark Royalty payments accrued as of the end of each Commercial Half Year, as herein provided, shall be paid by NOVACEA to XXXXXX XXXXX within sixty (60) days after the end of each Commercial Half Year (i.e., payment is due on or about the last day of each February and August following the first Date of Launch). In the event NOVACEA fails to pay any accrued Trademark Royalty within sixty (60) days after the end of each Commercial Half Year, XXXXXX XXXXX may charge a monthly late payment fee equal to [*] percent ([*]%).

5.3.

5.3.1. Content of Report. Each Trademark Royalty payment shall be accompanied by a written report, showing (a) the Net Sales of each dosage form of the Licensed Product on which the Trademark is used that is sold by NOVACEA, its Affiliates and its permitted sublicensees and the level of inventory (in units) in each country of the NOVACEA Territory during the reporting period; (b) the Trademark Royalties, payable in Dollars, which shall have accrued hereunder in respect of such Net Sales; (c) withholding taxes, if any, required by Legal Requirements to be deducted in respect of such Net Sales; and (d) the exchange rates used in determining the amount of Dollars. With respect to sales of a Licensed Product invoiced in

[*] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

Dollars, the Net Sales and Trademark Royalty payable shall be expressed in Dollars. With respect to sales of a Licensed Product invoiced in a currency other than Dollars, the Net Sales and Trademark Royalty payable hereunder shall be expressed in the domestic currency of the party making the sale together with the Dollar equivalent of the Trademark Royalty payable, calculated using the simple average of the exchange rates published in the Wall Street Journal on the last day of each month of the Commercial Year. NOVACEA, shall, upon written request, furnish to XXXXXX XXXXX appropriate evidence of payment of any tax or other amount deducted from any Trademark Royalty payment. In case no Trademark Royalty is due for any Trademark Royalty period hereunder, NOVACEA shall so report. A sample of a Trademark Royalty report (without any withholding taxes) required to be delivered by NOVACEA pursuant to this Section 5.3 is attached as Schedule 5.3 hereto.

5.3.2. Annual Summary. In addition, unless otherwise provided pursuant to the Patent and Know-How License Agreement, within sixty (60) days of the end of each Commercial Year, NOVACEA shall provide to XXXXXX XXXXX a written report, summarizing the gross sales and Net Sales of each dosage form of the Licensed Product sold by NOVACEA, its Affiliates and permitted sublicensees in all countries of the NOVACEA Territory during such Commercial Year.

5.4.	Royalty Payments.

Except as provided in this Section 5.4, Trademark Royalties shall be payable in Dollars and shall be paid by NOVACEA on its account and on account of its Affiliates and permitted sublicensees by wire transfer to XXXXXX XXXXX’X bank account opened at SOCIETE GENERALE in France or at such other financial institution as XXXXXX XXXXX may designate in writing from time to time, the specific wiring instructions with respect to which shall be provided by XXXXXX XXXXX to NOVACEA from time to time. If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all Trademark Royalties with respect to any country of the NOVACEA Territory where the Licensed Product is sold, NOVACEA shall have the right and option to make such payments by depositing the amount thereof in local currency to XXXXXX XXXXX’x account in a bank or other depository in such country.

5.5.	Accrual of Royalties.

No Trademark Royalty shall be payable on a Licensed Product used in the NOVACEA Territory for development purposes, meaning use of Finished Product by NOVACEA (i) in Phase 1, 2 and 3 Clinical Trials, (ii) in Phase 4 Clinical Trials to be conducted by NOVACEA in the NOVACEA Territory upon Regulatory Authorities’ request and (iii) to obtain Compendia Listings; provided, however, that in all cases, Finished Product is supplied by NOVACEA free of charge to the investigators. No Trademark Royalty shall be payable on sales among NOVACEA, its Affiliates and its permitted sublicensees, but Trademark Royalty shall be payable on subsequent sales by NOVACEA, its Affiliates and its sublicensees to a Third Party.

5.6.	Third Party Royalties.

If, based on the written advice of reputable, independent outside counsel selected by the Parties, copies of which shall be promptly provided to the Parties, NOVACEA shall deem it

necessary in respect of sales of the Licensed Product to obtain a license from any Third Party in order for NOVACEA, its Affiliates or its permitted sublicensees to exercise their rights pursuant to Section 2.1.1 of this Agreement, and (i) the Licensed Product is being commercialized under the [*] Trademark, XXXXXX XXXXX shall bear the full cost of any license fees, milestones, royalties or similar amounts (“License Payments”) payable to such Third Party to the extent such License Payments are allocable to the sale and use of a Licensed Product in the NOVACEA Territory, or (ii) the Licensed Product is not being commercialized under the [*] Trademark, each Party shall bear [*] percent ([*]%) of any License Payments payable to such Third Party to the extent any such License Payments are allocable to the sale and use of a Licensed Product in the NOVACEA Territory; provided, however, that in no event shall XXXXXX XXXXX pay an aggregate amount of License Payments that at any time exceeds the aggregate Trademark Royalty paid to XXXXXX XXXXX from and after the effective date of any such license with a Third Party with respect to Net Sales in the country(ies) that are the subject of the Third Party’s allegations. NOVACEA may credit its share of its obligation under clause (ii) above against any Trademark Royalty due to XXXXXX XXXXX with respect to the Licensed Product (and shall so reflect any such credit in the next report to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof).

5.7.	Records and Audits.

With respect to each Commercial Year, NOVACEA shall keep complete and accurate records of all sales of Licensed Product for at least sixty (60) months after such Commercial Year, provided, however that, in the event of any claim by XXXXXX XXXXX asserted against NOVACEA during the sixty (60) month period, then NOVACEA shall preserve all relevant records until the resolution of the claim. Upon the expiration of sixty (60) months following the end of any Commercial Year, the calculation of Trademark Royalties payable with respect thereto shall be binding and conclusive on XXXXXX XXXXX and NOVACEA, its Affiliates and its permitted sublicensees shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect to Trademark Royalties for such Commercial Year. XXXXXX XXXXX shall have the right to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to NOVACEA (and who has executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to NOVACEA that requires the auditor to keep any information learned by it confidential except as needed to report its audit conclusions to XXXXXX XXXXX) to audit relevant records to confirm Net Sales and Trademark Royalty payments due hereunder for a period covering not more than the preceding sixty (60) months. Such audits may be exercised during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to NOVACEA. A copy of the auditing firm’s conclusions of its audit shall be furnished to NOVACEA at least ten (10) days prior to disclosure to XXXXXX XXXXX to allow NOVACEA an opportunity to review the accuracy of the auditing firm’s conclusions. Prompt adjustments shall be made by the Parties to reflect the results of such audit. XXXXXX XXXXX shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses a variance of more than five percent (5%) from the amount of the Net Sales or payments due under this Agreement. In such case, NOVACEA shall bear the full cost of such audit. In the event of underpayment, NOVACEA shall promptly remit to XXXXXX XXXXX the amount of any underpayment. In the event of overpayment, XXXXXX XXXXX shall promptly remit to NOVACEA the amount of any such overpayment.

[*] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

5.8.	Language of Reports.

All reports to be provided by NOVACEA hereunder shall be in the English language.

5.9.	Confidentiality of Reports.

XXXXXX XXXXX agrees that all information subject to review under this Article 5 is confidential and that it shall retain, and shall cause its accountant to retain, such information in confidence in accordance with Article 7 of this Agreement.

5.10.

Withholding Taxes.

All payments to be made by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement shall be for the amounts specified therein less any withholding taxes, if any, required by Legal Requirements, including any applicable international tax treaty, to be deducted in respect of such payments. To the extent a Party withholds taxes as aforesaid, it shall promptly provide the other Party with all necessary information and documents to allow such other Party to apply for a corresponding tax credit or otherwise reflect the amount of taxes withheld.

ARTICLE 6 – PHARMACOVIGILANCE

The Parties acknowledge that, after the expiration of the Royalty Term, as long as NOVACEA uses the Trademark and purchases Finished Product from XXXXXX XXXXX, they shall exchange pharmacovigilance data with each other pursuant to the Data Exchange Agreement (as defined in the Patent and Know-How License Agreement) which is hereby incorporated by reference or as otherwise provided in the Patent and Know-How License Agreement.

ARTICLE 7 – CONFIDENTIALITY

9.1.	Term – Renewal.

This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 9.2, shall remain in full force and effect on a country by country basis until the end of the Royalty Term. Thereafter, if NOVACEA has elected to continue to use the Trademark pursuant to Section 2.1.2, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect on a country by country basis until a termination date designated in a written notice given by NOVACEA to XXXXXX XXXXX at least twelve (12) months prior to such termination date (unless the Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 9.2). Upon the termination date, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, except as provided in Section 9.3(c).

9.2.	Termination for Cause.

9.2.1. Bankruptcy – Insolvency. In the event that:

(a)

a Party is adjudicated as either bankrupt or insolvent and, if such adjudication be involuntary, it is not vacated within sixty (60) days; or

(b)

any proceeding is commenced by or against a Party seeking relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law and if such proceeding be involuntary, it remains undismissed for sixty (60) days; or a Party, by action or answer, approves of,

consents to or acquiesces in such proceeding or admits the material allegations of or defaults in answering a petition filed in such proceeding; or

(c)

a Party admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; or

(d)

a Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

then, in any such case, such Party shall be deemed in default hereunder and the other, non-defaulting Party, shall have the right, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to such Party, to terminate this Agreement.

9.2.2. Uncured Material Breach.

(a)

If either Party believes that the other is in material breach of this Agreement, then the non-breaching Party may deliver notice of such breach to the other Party. In such notice the non-breaching Party shall identify the actions or conduct that it wishes such Party to take for an acceptable and prompt cure of such breach; provided, that such identified actions shall not be binding upon the other Party with respect to the actions that it may need to take to cure such breach. The allegedly breaching Party shall have sixty (60) days to either cure such breach or, if cure cannot be reasonably effected within such sixty (60) day period, to deliver to the other Party, as soon as practicable during the sixty (60) day cure period, a plan for curing such breach which is reasonably sufficient to effect a cure within ninety (90) days of the date of the initial notice of breach. Following delivery of such plan, the breaching Party shall use Diligent Efforts to carry out the plan and cure the breach within such ninety (90) day period.

(b)

If the Party receiving notice of material breach fails to cure such breach within the sixty (60) day or ninety (90) day period, as applicable, or the Party providing the notice reasonably determines that the proposed corrective plan or the actions being taken to carry it out is not commercially practicable to effect a cure within ninety (90) days of the original notice of material breach, the Party originally delivering the notice may declare a breach hereunder upon an additional thirty (30) days advance written notice. Such notice shall effectively terminate this Agreement upon expiration of such thirty (30) day period, subject to clauses (c) and (d) below.

(c)

If a breach alleged under Clause (a) is limited or restricted to Canada, then the notice provided under Clause (a) shall state such fact and, unless otherwise provided in this Article 9, any termination under this Section 9.2.2 for such breach shall be effective only as to Canada; provided, however, that a breach alleged under Clause (a) with respect to the USA shall be considered a breach with respect to all countries in the NOVACEA Territory for purposes of this Agreement.

(d)

If a Party gives notice of termination under this Clause (a) and the other Party disputes whether such notice was proper, or the Parties disagree as to whether the breaching Party has cured such breach within the applicable cure period (or used Diligent Efforts to cure such breach pursuant to a plan delivered pursuant to

Clause (a)), then the issue of whether this Agreement has been terminated shall be resolved in accordance with Article 13. If as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined that the notice of termination was proper or that the breaching Party failed to cure such breach within the applicable cure period (or failed to use Diligent Efforts to cure such breach pursuant to a plan delivered under Clause (a)), as the case may be, then such termination shall be deemed to have been effective thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of termination provided pursuant to Clause (a). If as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined that the notice of termination was improper, then no termination shall have occurred and this Agreement shall have remained in effect.

9.2.3. Termination of the Patent and Know-How License Agreement. In the event that the Patent and Know-How License Agreement is terminated in a given country or countries of the NOVACEA Territory prior to the expiration of the Royalty Term for any reason other than by NOVACEA pursuant to Sections 18.2.1 thereof, then the right and license granted to NOVACEA under this Agreement shall also terminate to the same extent (i.e., in the same country or countries of the NOVACEA Territory) as is the termination of the Patent and Know-How License Agreement, and NOVACEA shall no longer have any right to use the Trademark, XXXXXX XXXXX trade names and logos in such country or countries in the NOVACEA Territory. In such event termination of this Agreement and the Patent and Know-How License Agreement shall be co-terminous.

9.2.4. Assignment by NOVACEA. XXXXXX XXXXX may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to NOVACEA within thirty (30) days of XXXXXX XXXXX first learning of an assignment by NOVACEA in violation of Article 8 of this Agreement.

9.3.	Consequences of Termination – Surviving Obligations.

Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to any or all countries of the NOVACEA Territory pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 (“Termination”), all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to such country(ies) shall automatically terminate whereupon (i) other than in connection with the disposal of Licensed Product pursuant to Section 18.5 of the Patent and Know-How License Agreement, NOVACEA shall immediately cease to market and sell the Finished Product under the Trademark in such country(ies) of the NOVACEA Territory, and (ii) XXXXXX XXXXX shall have the exclusive right in its discretion to use the Trademark in such country(ies), provided however that:

(a)

Termination shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such Termination;

(b)

upon Termination of this Agreement by NOVACEA pursuant to Section 9.2.1 or 9.2.2 hereof or by virtue of NOVACEA’s termination of the Patent and Know-How License Agreement pursuant to Section 18.2.1 thereof, then all rights and licenses of NOVACEA hereunder shall survive, subject to the fulfillment of all of its Trademark Royalty obligations hereunder; and

(c)

the provisions of Sections 2.2.2, 2.3.3, 2.6, 3.3.2, 5.7, 5.9, 5.10, 9.3, 9.4 and 10.4 and Articles 1, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 shall survive any Termination of this Agreement.

9.4.	Exercise of Right to Terminate – Damages.

9.4.1. Right to Pursue Damages. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (including Article 11) and subject to Section 9.4.3., the exercise of a termination right under this Agreement shall not preclude the terminating Party from claiming any damages as a result of the non-terminating Party’s material breach, claiming compensation or claiming other relief that it may be entitled to under this Agreement, at law or in equity, upon such Termination.

9.4.2. Determination of Damages. In the event XXXXXX XXXXX elects to terminate this Agreement in any country or countries pursuant to Sections 9.2.2, 9.2.3 (as a result of a material breach of the Patent and Know-How License Agreement by NOVACEA) or 9.2.4, in addition to its right to terminate this Agreement, XXXXXX XXXXX may seek damages (subject to Section 13.3) caused by the material breach giving rise to such Termination; provided, that recovery of any such damages shall be offset by the fair market value to XXXXXX XXXXX of the rights and licenses that are assigned, licensed, or reverted to XXXXXX XXXXX as a result of its exercise of its right of termination with respect to such country(ies). If the Parties dispute whether the fair market value to XXXXXX XXXXX exceeds XXXXXX XXXXX’x damages, then any such dispute shall be settled pursuant to Section 13.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 9.4.2, the limitation set forth in this Section 9.4.2 shall be of no effect whatsoever in the event of fraud by NOVACEA.

9.4.3. Remedies Cumulative. All remedies provided hereunder (including any right to terminate this Agreement under Section 9.2 above, the right to indemnification under Article 11 and any rights under this Section 9.4)) are cumulative and concurrent, and are in addition to, and the Parties are entitled to, all other available remedies at law or in equity; provided, however, that a Party shall not seek to avail itself of such other remedies (except for any equitable remedy) during any cure period under this Agreement.

Dispute Resolution.

The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the term of this Agreement that relate to either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. It is the desire of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes directly or indirectly arising under, relating to or in connection with this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to arbitration or litigation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to have any dispute directly or indirectly arising under, relating to or in connection with this Agreement (including any dispute resulting from the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 9 or relating to the assessment of damages pursuant to Section 9.4) referred to their respective executive officers designated below or their successors, for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days after such notice is received.

14.3.

Non-Waiver.

The failure of a Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right arising out of this Agreement shall neither impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part, in that instance or in any other instance.

14.6.

Severability.

If, for any reason, any part of this Agreement is arbitrated or adjudicated as being invalid, unenforceable or illegal by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith with a view to the substitution thereof of a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and unenforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid provision; provided, however, that any such adjudication shall not affect or impair, in whole or in part, the validity, enforceability or legality of any remaining portions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect as if the original Agreement had been executed without the invalidated, unenforceable or illegal part.

14.7.

Force Majeure.

14.7.1. Events of Force Majeure. Except for the obligation to make payment when due, each Party shall be excused from liability for the failure or delay in performance of any obligation under this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts of God, fire, flood, explosion, earthquake, or other natural forces, war, or any cause beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party. Such excuse from liability shall be effective only to the extent and duration of the event(s) causing the failure or delay in performance or the direct results from such event(s).

14.7.2. Notice of Force Majeure. Each Party agrees to give the other Party prompt written notice of the occurrence of any such condition set forth in Section 14.7.1 above, the nature thereof, and the extent to which the affected Party reasonably believes it will be unable fully to perform its obligation hereunder.

14.7.3. Termination.
