Diatos agrees to either (a) require each of its Sublicensees to maintain similar books and records and to open such records for inspection by a designee of MacroMed, on behalf of, and as required by, MacroMed for the purpose of verifying payments hereunder, or (b) obtain such audits rights from the Sublicensee for itself and exercise such audit rights on behalf of MacroMed upon MacroMed’s request and disclose the results thereof to MacroMed. Any examinations conducted by MacroMed under this Section 5.6 shall be at the expense of MacroMed, unless a variation or error producing an underpayment exceeding five percent (5%) of the amount owed during the audited period is established in the course of any such inspection, whereupon all out- of-pocket costs of such audit of such period will be at the expense of Diatos.
     5.7 U.S. Dollars; Payment Method; Currency Conversion. All dollar amounts set forth in the Agreement are set forth in United States Dollars. All payments due hereunder shall be made in United States Dollars by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by MacroMed in a written notice to Diatos. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the payment of royalties hereunder, such conversion shall be made by using the averaged buying and selling exchange rate for conversion of the foreign currency into United States Dollars, quoted for current transactions reported in The Wall Street Journal for the last business day of the quarter to which such payment pertains.
     5.8 Withholding Taxes. Any withholding or other tax that is required by law to be withheld with respect to payments owed by Diatos, its Affiliates or their Sublicensees pursuant to this Agreement shall be deducted from such payment prior to remittance. Diatos, its Affiliates

ARTICLE 7
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
     7.1 Ownership of Inventions. Title to all inventions and other intellectual property made solely by MacroMed personnel in connection with this Agreement shall be owned by MacroMed. Title to all inventions and other intellectual property made solely by Diatos personnel in connection with this Agreement which inventions would not necessarily infringe (i.e. are not dominated by) any claim of one or more patent listed in Exhibit B, shall be owned by Diatos. Title to all inventions and other intellectual property made solely by Diatos personnel in connection with this Agreement, which inventions would necessarily infringe (i.e. are dominated by) any claim of one or more patents listed in Exhibit B, shall be jointly owned by MacroMed and Diatos. It is understood that a particular patent shall not be deemed to “necessarily infringe” nor be “dominated by” a patent listed in Exhibit B if products or processes under such patent can be substantially made, used, sold or practiced without infringing a patent listed in Exhibit B. Title to all inventions and other intellectual property made jointly by personnel of MacroMed and Diatos in connection with this Agreement shall be jointly owned by MacroMed and Diatos. Prosecution of any patent applications and patents with respect to jointly owned inventions and intellectual property described in this Section 7.1 shall be solely conducted as mutually agreed. If an agreement cannot be reached as to how to conduct prosecution of a jointly owned patent or application under this Section 7.1 that is dominated by a patent listed on Exhibit B, MacroMed shall have the sole right to appoint counsel and make other decisions related to such prosecution. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, it is understood that neither party shall have any obligation to account to the other for profits, or to obtain any approval of the other party to exploit, license or assign any such jointly owned inventions or intellectual property, by reason of joint ownership thereof.
     7.2 Prosecution. MacroMed shall control, and agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to undertake the filing, prosecution and maintenance, including conducting interferences, re-examinations, reissues and oppositions, if any, (collectively, the “Prosecution”) of the Licensed Patents in the Diatos Territory, using counsel acceptable to Diatos (which

24


 

acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). MacroMed shall keep Diatos informed as to such Prosecution, including using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide Diatos drafts of patent applications, responses and other filings in advance of their submission to their respective patent offices), and providing Diatos copies of any correspondence with or notices from the respective patent offices. MacroMed shall duly consider and follow any reasonable comments provided by Diatos with respect to the Prosecution of the Licensed Patents in the Diatos Territory. In the event MacroMed desires to abandon its efforts to Prosecute any Licensed Patents in the Diatos Territory, it shall notify Diatos at least thirty (30) days prior to any required action (or such shorter period as is reasonably practicable for non-extendable deadlines). In such event, Diatos shall have the right, but not the obligation, to Prosecute such Licensed Patents using counsel reasonable acceptable to MacroMed, in its discretion. However, if Diatos exercises its right to prosecute, the exercise of this right shall in no way modify the ownership rights set forth in Section 7.1. The exercise of Diatos right to prosecute will be solely in protecting their position as an exclusive licensee. Diatos may credit * percent (*%) of its actual and reasonable cost of Prosecution of such Licensed Patents in the Territory, against any payments under Articles 4 and 5 above.
     7.3 Enforcement. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, in the event that Diatos or MacroMed reasonably believes that any Licensed Technology is being infringed or misappropriated in the Diatos Territory by a Third Party or is subject to a declaratory judgment action arising from either of such type of infringement in the Diatos Territory, in each case pertaining to Formulated Taxoids in the Diatos Territory, or any Licensed Marks is being infringed or diluted in the Diatos Territory (collectively, “Subject Infringements”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party. Promptly after such notice the Parties shall meet to discuss the course of action to be taken with respect to an Enforcement Action (as defined below) with respect to such infringement or misappropriation, including the control thereof and sharing of costs and expenses related thereto, for the purposes of entering into a litigation agreement setting forth the same (“Litigation Agreement”).
          7.3.1 Right to Enforce. If the Parties do not enter such Litigation Agreement, Diatos shall have the initial right (but not the obligation) to enforce the Licensed Technology and Licensed Marks in the Diatos Territory with respect to the Subject Infringement, or defend any declaratory judgment action with respect thereto (an “Enforcement Action”); provided that any settlement of such Enforcement Action shall be subject to the approval of MacroMed if such settlement admits the invalidity or unenforceability of the Licensed Patents or Licensed Marks. It is understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not limit Diatos’s freedom to sublicense its rights hereunder in accordance with Section 2.2. The Parties agree that Diatos shall be entitled to credit * percent(*%) of its actual and reasonable costs of such Enforcement Action against any payments under Articles 4 and 5 above. In the event Diatos does not notify MacroMed that it intends to enforce or defend the Licensed Technology or Licensed Marks againts a Subject Infringement within one hundred and twenty (120) days after notice by either Party of an alleged Subject Infringement in the Diatos Territory, or notifies MacroMed at any time that it does not desire to enforce or defend the Licensed Technology or Licensed Marks with respect to such alleged Subject Infringement, then MacroMed shall have the right (but not the obligation) to enforce or defend against such alleged Subject Infringement, provided that any settlement of such Subject Infringement shall be subject to the approval of Diatos, if such settlement would not

* confidential treatment requested

25


 

terminate all further use by the alleged infringer of the Licensed Technology and Licensed Marks in the Diatos Territory. If MacroMed does not file suit to enforce against the alleged Subject Infringement within sixty (60) days after such time, then the Parties shall be deemed to have made a “Decision Not to Enforce.”
          7.3.2 Cooperation. Absent a Litigation Agreement, the Party controlling the enforcement shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the progress of any Enforcement Action, and the other Party shall have the right to participate with counsel of its own choice at its own expense, and shall reasonably cooperate with the Party initiating the Enforcement Action (including joining as a party plaintiff to the extent necessary and requested by the other Party).
          7.3.3 Allocation of Recoveries. Unless otherwise agreed, all amounts recovered in the Enforcement Action, after reimbursing each Party for its costs and expenses incurred in such Enforcement Action (including reimbursing MacroMed for the * percent (*%) credit described in Section 7.3.1), shall be shared between the Parties as follows: (a) if such Enforcement Action is initiated by Diatos, * percent (*%) to Diatos and * (*%) to MacroMed and (b) if such Enforcement Action is initiated by MacroMed, * percent (*%) to MacroMed and * percent (*%) to Diatos.
     7.4 Defense of Third Party Infringement Claims. If the development, manufacture, sale or use of any Product anywhere in the world under a Licensed Mark results in a claim alleging patent or trademark infringement against either Party (or its respective Affiliates or Sublicensees), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party hereto in writing. MacroMed (if the claim is brought against Products made sold or used in the MacroMed Territory) and Diatos (if the claim is brought against Products made, sold or used in the Diatos Territory) shall have the exclusive right to defend and control the defense of any such claim using counsel of its own choice; provided, however, that the other Party shall be kept informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim. The controlling Party shall not enter into any settlement relating to the Licensed Patents or Licensed Marks that admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any Licensed Patents or Licensed Mark, nor the infringement of any third party patent rights, trademark or other intellectual property rights by the Licensed Patents or Licensed Marks without the other Party’s approval, which shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. Any Liabilities shall be borne by the controlling Party; provided that Diatos may treat its Liabilities as pre-approved Third Party Payments under Section 5.2.2 above (i.e. meeting condition (i) in Section 5.2.2(b)).
     7.5 Patent Marking. Each Party agrees to mark and have its Affiliates and their Sublicensees mark all Products in accordance with the applicable statutes or regulations in the country or countries of manufacture and sale thereof.
     7.6 Licensed Marks. MacroMed hereby grants to Diatos an exclusive license, to use the Licensed Marks solely in connection with marketing, promoting, distributing and selling the Product in the Diatos Territory in accordance with this Agreement. The ownership and all goodwill from the use of the Licensed Marks shall vest in and inure to the benefit of MacroMed. Diatos agrees to file and maintain, at its own cost and discretion, any registration for the Licensed Marks in each country of the Diatos Territory in which Diatos is commercializing the

* confidential treatment requested

26


 

Products. MacroMed will cooperate with Diatos with respect to the filing of any trademark applications within the Diatos Territory. In those countries where a trademark license must be recorded, MacroMed will, upon the request of Diatos, provide and record a separate trademark license for the Product, and Diatos shall cooperate in the preparation and execution of such documents.
     7.7 Grant-back. It is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement not block MacroMed’s freedom to operate regarding the practice and commercialization of the Licensed Technology (subject to the exclusive rights as may be granted to Diatos under this Agreement). Diatos hereby grants to MacroMed a non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully-paid up license, with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses, under any Improvements made by Diatos arising from use of the Licensed Technology, to make, use, sell, offer for sale or import any products of MacroMed and to practice the Improvements in connection with the foregoing. As used herein, “Improvements” shall mean any modification of the Product, so long as it remains a Formulated Taxoid, including modifications of the type or amount of the Taxoid drug, modification of the type or amount of the polymer matrix (i.e. the ReGel®), or modifications of or additional additives.

In addition, each Party shall consult with the other Party prior to first publishing the results of any Clinical Trial of the Products conducted by such Party. Such consultation shall include using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide such other Party with a copy of the proposed disclosure of Clinical Trial results at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of first publication. The Parties agree, however, that each Party retains the right to publish any results of its Clinical Trial of the Products, after such fifteen (15) day period, or at any time if it reasonably determines that a public disclosure is required by applicable law or regulations. In-addition, once any results of a Clinical Trial has been published by either Party in accordance with this Section 8.4, each Party shall retain the right to re-publish such results without further consultation under this Section 8.4.

     10.2 Indemnification of Diatos. Subject to Section 10.4 below, MacroMed shall indemnify each of Diatos and its directors, officers, and employees (Diatos’s “Indemnitees”), and hold each Diatos Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all Liabilities arising from or occurring as a result of any Claim against a Diatos Indemnitee arising from or occurring as a result of (a) gross negligence, willful misconduct or failure to comply with Laws by MacroMed, (b) the breach of its representations and warranties set forth in Article 9 above, (c) the supply by MacroMed to Diatos of Products that fail to comply with Section A.6.1 of Exhibit A, (d) product liability claims relating to any Products used, sold or otherwise distributed, or the conduct of clinical trials of Product, by MacroMed, its Affiliates or their Sublicensees, and (e) subject to Section 10.3 below, product liability claims relating to any Products used, sold or otherwise distributed by Diatos, its Affiliates or their Sublicensees; except in each case to the extent such claim is caused by factors described in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 10.1 above.

     10.4 Procedure. A Party that intends to claim indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Claim for which such Party’s Indemnitees intend to claim indemnification hereunder. As between the parties, the Indemnitor shall have the right to control the defense and settlement of such claim, action, suit, or other proceeding (other than Product Liability Claims, for which Diatos shall have the right to control the defense and settlement thereof); provided that the other Party shall have the right to participate in such defense or settlement with counsel of its own choosing at its expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity agreement in this Article 10 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior consent of the Indemnitor, to the extent such consent is not withheld unreasonably or delayed. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Article 10 but the omission so to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to any Indemnitee otherwise than under this Article 10. Without limiting the foregoing, the party controlling the defense and/or settlement of a Claim under this Section 10.4 shall keep the Indemnitee fully informed of the progress of such defense and/or settlement.
     10.5 Insurance. Each Party further agrees to obtain and maintain, during the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years thereafter, Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, including products liability insurance, with reputable and financially secure insurance carrier, to cover its indemnification obligations under this Article 10 in a form and at levels commensurate with standard and customary practices in the biopharmaceutical industry. Such liability insurance shall be maintained on a claims-made basis. Each party shall furnish to the other party on request certificates issued by the insurance company setting forth the amount of the liability insurance and a provision that the other party hereto shall receive thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to termination, reduction or modification of coverage.
ARTICLE 11
TERM AND TERMINATION.
     11.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, unless earlier terminated as provided in this Article 11, shall continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the Royalty Term for such Product and country.
     11.2 Termination for Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice in the event that the other Party shall have materially breached this Agreement, and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either Party is unable to remedy such breach for causes beyond its reasonable control within such thirty (30) day period, then this Agreement may not be terminated so long as such Party has presented prior to the end of the aforementioned thirty (30) day period a plan for curing such breach, and thereafter is pursuing in accordance with such plan a cure of such breach in a timely manner and can demonstrate that it is taking all diligent actions possible to cure such breach. In addition, if during such thirty (30) day period, the allegedly

33


 

breaching Party disputes that it has materially breached this Agreement, then the other Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement until it has been finally determined in accordance with Article 12 below that the allegedly breaching Party has materially breached this Agreement, and such Party fails to comply herewith within thirty (30) days thereafter.
     11.3 Termination by Diatos. Diatos may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, upon ninety (90) days written notice.
