8.4      Survival  after termination.    The obligation of LICENSEE  to defend and indemnify as set out in this Paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement, shall continue even after assignment of rights and responsibilities to an AFFILIATED COMPANY or SUBLICENSEE, and shall not be limited by any other limitation of liability elsewhere in this Agreement.

8.5      Rights and obligations of JHU.   JHU shall provide LICENSEE with prompt notice of any claims covered  by LICENSEE's obligation to indemnify, and will provide reasonable cooperation to LICENSEE in LICENSEE's investigation and defense of such claims. JHU shall have the right to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice and at JHU's own expense.  JHU shall have the right to approve the settlement of any claim hereunder that
15



imposes any liability or obligation on JHU, or affects the PATENT RIGHTS, other than the payment of money damages paid by the LICENSEE.

8.6      Insurance. Prior to initial human testing or FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE of any LICENSED PRODUCT or LICENSED SERVICE, LICENSEE will establish and maintain Comprehensive  General Liability  Insurance,  including   Product Liability  Insurance,  with a reputable and financially secure insurance carrier acceptable to JHU to cover any liability of LICENSEE and JHU to  third parties related to any LICENSED PRODUCT or LICENSED SERVICE,  or  otherwise  arising  from  the  activities  of  LICENSEE,  any  AFFILIATED COMPANY  or SUBLICENSEE.  The LICENSEE  or the acquired  insurance  will provide minimum limits of liability of $5,000,000 per claim and will include all JHU INDEMNITEES as additional insureds.

9.2          Notification of Infringement by third party.  Each party will notify the other promptly in writing when any infringement by any third party is uncovered or suspected.

9.3          Suit for Infringement.

9.3.1   LICENSEE shall have the first right to enforce the PATENT RIGHTS against any infringement or alleged infringement thereof, and shall at all times keep JHU informed as to the status thereof. This right to sue for infringement shall not be used in an arbitrary or capricious manner. Before LICENSEE commences an action with respect to any infringement of such patents, LICENSEE  shall give careful consideration to the views of JHU and to potential effects on the public interest in making its decision whether or  not to sue. Thereafter, LICENSEE may, at its own expense and discretion, institute suit against any such infringer or alleged infringer and control and defend such suit in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions hereof.   JHU agrees to be named as nominal third party plaintiff if necessary to the commencement of any such suit and to cooperate fully with LICENSEE in connection therewith.

9.3.2   No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of the suit may be concluded without the prior written consent of JHU, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  JHU shall reasonably cooperate in any such litigation at LICENSEE's expense.

9.3.3   If LICENSEE elects not to enforce any patent within the PATENT RIGHTS, it shall so notify JHU promptly in writing and JHU may, in its sole judgment and at its own expense, take steps to enforce any patent and control, settle, and defend such suit in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions hereof, and recover, for its own account, any damages, awards or settlements resulting therefrom.
17



9.4      Patent Invalidity Suit.    LICENSEE shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to defend at LICENSEE's expense a declaratory judgment or other action brought by a third party naming LICENSEE or JHU as a defendant and alleging invalidity of any of the PATENT RIGHTS in which case JHU shall cooperate fully with LICENSEE.   If LICENSEE opts not to defend, JHU in its discretion may elect to take over the sole defense of the action at its own expense, in which case LICENSEE shall cooperate fully with JHU in connection with any such action.

9.5      Recovery. LICENSEE shall pay to JHU fifteen  percent (15%) of any monetary award, settlement or recovery, net of all reasonable attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid to third parties by LICENSEE in connection with each suit or settlement.  If the cost and expenses exceed the recovery no additional amount shall be paid to JHU.

10.          HANDLING AND RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.

10.1    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, and legal relations between the parties hereto shall be determined, in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and wholly to be performed within the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws. Any disputes between the parties to this Agreement including the applicability or validity of any PATENT RIGHTS, shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware.  Both parties agree to waive their right to a jury trial and to consent to jurisdiction in such courts.

10.2    Resolution.  The parties shall attempt to resolve all disputes through informal means. This may include mediation, arbitration, or any other procedures upon which the parties agree.  Each party agrees that, prior to resorting to litigation, it will confer with other party to determine whether other procedures that are less expensive or less time consuming can be adopted to resolve the dispute.

10.3   Challenges to PATENT RIGHTS, Scope and Applicability - requirements during and after challenge of PATENT RIGHTS by LICENSEE. LICENSEE shall ensure that the terms of this Paragraph 10.3 and its sub-paragraphs are included in any SUBLICENSE. If LICENSEE, AFFILIATED COMPANY or SUBLICENSEE brings formal legal action before a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction against JHU challenging the validity or scope of the PATENT RIGHTS, or applicability of the PATENT RIGHTS to a LICENSED PRODUCT or LICENSED SERVICE the following shall apply.

10.3.1 Actions by a SUBLICENSEE shall be attributed to LICENSEE only if the action  was taken at the direction of or written consent of LICENSEE.  In all other cases, the provisions of this Paragraph 10.3 shall not apply to SUBLICENSEE, notwithstanding the terms hereof.

10.3.2 If such action determines  that at least one claim of a patent challenged by LICENSEE, AFFILIATE or SUBLICENSEE is valid and, if applicable, but for this Agreement, infringed by a LICENSED PRODUCT or LICENSED SERVICE, the party challenging will thereafter, except as to PATENT COSTS, pay twice the payment amount which would otherwise be required to be paid under the original LICENSE or SUBLICENSE.   For clarity, this shall
18



apply to MAR's,  Milestones,  Sublicensing  fees, royalty rates and other payments, except incurred PATENT COSTS which will be paid as otherwise agreed.

10.3.3 If such action determines  that at least one claim of a patent challenged by LICENSEE, AFFILIATED COMPANY or SUBLICENSEE is valid and, if applicable, but for this  Agreement,  infringed  by  a LICENSED  PRODUCT  or   LICENSED  SERVICE,  the LICENSEE, AFFILIATED COMPANY or SUBLICENSEE challenging will pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation costs, including expert witness fees and exhibit preparation costs incurred by JHU in defending the challenge.

10.3.4 During the course of such challenge, all payments otherwise required by this Agreement shall be paid as and when due, to the same extent as if there were no challenge to the PATENT RIGHTS, and LICENSEE, AFFILIATED COMPANY or SUBLICENSEE will have no right to recoup any payments, including royalties, which become due before or during the challenge.

10.3.5 LICENSEE, AFFILIATED COMPANY or SUBLICENSEE shall not pay royalties into any escrow or other similar account, but shall make all payments to JHU as due and when due, unless LICENSEE or SUBLICENSEE has prior to the payment becoming due, voluntarily and completely terminated this Agreement.  Timely and complete payment and full compliance by LICENSEE, AFFILIATED COMPANY and SUBLICENSEE with all terms of this Agreement shall be a condition precedent to bringing and maintaining the legal action challenging the PATENT RIGHTS.

10.3.6 No less than three months prior to bringing an action seeking to invalidate or limit a LICENSED PATENT, LICENSEE, AFFILIATED COMPANY or SUBLICENSEE will provide written notice of the expected challenge to JHU which shall include a clear statement of the factual and legal basis for the challenge, and an identification of all prior art and other matter believed to invalidate any claim of the LICENSED PATENT or which supports the claim  that the LICENSED  PATENT  does  not apply  to the LICENSED  PRODUCT  or LICENSED SERVICE.

11.          TERM AND TERMINATION

11.1   Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the EFFECTIVE DATE and shall continue, in each country in the LICENSED TERRITORY, until the date of expiration of the last to expire patent included within PATENT RIGHTS in that country or if no patents issue then for a term often (10) years from the FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE in such country of this Agreement. Following expiration of this Agreement, on a country-by-country basis, all non- exclusive license grants hereunder shall be fully-paid up, sublicensable, assignable, irrevocable and perpetual; provided that LICENSEE and any sublicensee or assignee shall remain bound by the terms and conditions of Sections 7, 8.1-8.5, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 12.5 and 12.7 of this Agreement with respect to such non-exclusive licenses.

19



this Agreement, including Minimum Annual Royalties, earned royalties, Milestone payments or PATENT COSTS which are incurred or are or become due prior to the effective date of termination.  In addition, LICENSEE shall also be obligated to pay any PATENT COSTS which are required to be incurred to preserve the patent prior to the effective date of termination, and any other costs which JHU has incurred or will incur prior to the termination date which under this Agreement are required to be reimbursed by LICENSEE.  Termination is not effective and payments shall continue to accrue and become due until all amounts due to JHU shall have been paid.

11.3 Termination by JHU. JHU may terminate this Agreement if LICENSEE:
(i)          is delinquent on any report, payment or other obligation;

LICENSEE cures the default within that 30-day period. If LICENSEE has had no prior defaults, and LICENSEE is diligently and in good faith attempting to cure the default, LICENSEE may request, and JHU shall grant an additional 60 days to cure the default.

11.4    Failure to meet a required diligence milestone. If this Agreement provides for diligence milestones which must be accomplished by specified dates or within specified periods of time, LICENSEE may cure any default for failure to meet a required diligence milestone in accordance with this subsection.

(i)       LICENSEE must be using commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue the milestone;

(ii)      LICENSEE can cure such default, by paying $1 0,000 within the 30-day cure period, which will automatically extend the milestone date (and the full amount of the original  milestone  payment)  and any subsequent milestones relying  upon the meeting of the missed milestone for an additional six (6) months.

(iii)          Such a cure may be made no more than twice as to any one milestone.

Exhibit E
KNOW-HOW



KNOW-HOW consists of two broad but diverse areas:

(a) the efficient synthesis of [18F]DCFPyL. Johns Hopkins will provide knowledge with respect to generation of the precursor and other intermediates to the final, radiolabeled adduct. They will also provide advice on alternative routes to precursor and other intermediates that have been attempted or are theoretical, as needed. That will include, for example, adaptation of the synthesis to an automated system as might be used for a commercial product. Johns Hopkins will share synthetic details sufficient to produce the Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls portion of an IND application.

 
  (b) clinical implementation with a view to completion of a phase II trial. Johns Hopkins will share clinical expertise and protocols detailing a recommended path forward to test [18F]DCFPyL in patients with prostate cancer. Protocols involve recommendations for whichsites to involve for enrollment, overall study design, determining inclusion and exclusion criteria for subjects to enroll, methods by which to assess disease status, for example, response vs. progression, safety and PET imaging technique. Johns Hopkins will also provide advice regarding interpretation of or added depth to published materials related to the development of [18F]DCFPyL for human administration.
