716
717(b) Medisorb shall offer to Janssen for incorporation into this License Agreement on reasonable terms and conditions, Medisorb Improvements in
718the Field which, if incorporated into Janssen's then current commercial Product(s), would: (i) result in significant changes in either the
719specifications for such Product(s) or the processes for producing such Product(s), and (ii) would reasonably be expected to result in enhanced market
720value and/or profitability of such Product(s). Examples of such Improvements would include: (i) the development by Medisorb of a non-aqueous injection
721vehicle which offers significant advantages with respect to ease of administration and (ii) the development by Medisorb of technology enabling[ ]. It is the parties'
722understanding that the effect of any such license amendment would, in general, be either an extension of the term of this Agreement for a mutually agreed
723period or a marginal increase in the then current royalty rate . All other Medisorb Improvements shall be made available to Janssen for its use without
724further agreement. Proprietary rights to Improvements jointly developed by Medisorb and Janssen shall be governed by the terms of Section 5(c) of this Agreement.
725
726(c) In the event that at any time during the term of this Agreement Medisorb is unable for any reason whatsoever to supply the Medisorb

745License Agreement
746
747(b) In the event that, in a country where Product is not claimed in a valid Patent, a similar product obtains a market share greater than [ ]% of
748the total market revenues for Products and similar products in such country, the parties agree to meet and negotiate in good faith an appropriate reduction in
749the royalty rate then in effect. In no event shall a reduction in royalty rates pursuant to this section result in royalty rates [ ] of the rates specified
750under Section 3(a)(i) and 3(a)(ii) of this Agreement. For the purposes of this section, "similar product" shall mean a generic version of the Product(s) where:
751(i) the active agent is [ ], or a chemical analogue thereof and (ii) the excipient is comprised of lactic and/or glycolic acids. In the event that patent
752protection for Product(s) becomes available subsequent to a royalty reduction pursuant to this section, the parties agree to (i) reinstitute the royalty
753otherwise applicable, and (ii) in the event that any recovery is obtained for prior infringement of the subsequently issued patent, the parties will first
754apply such recoveries to reimbursing Medisorb for royalties it would otherwise have received.
755
756(c) Janssen shall keep complete and adequate records with respect to the proceeds of Products on which it has to pay royalties payable hereunder
757for at least two (2) years after expiry of the year they concern. Medisorb shall have the right to have such records of Janssen inspected and examined, at
758Medisorb's expense, for the purpose of determining the correctness of royalty payments made hereunder.
759
760Such inspection shall be made by an independent, certified public accountant to whom Janssen shall have no reasonable objection. Such accountant shall not
761disclose to Medisorb any information other than that necessary to verify the accuracy of the reports and payments made pursuant to this Agreement. It is
762understood that such examination with respect to any quarterly accounting period shall take place not later than two (2) years following the expiration of said
763period. Not more than one examination per year shall take place.
764
765Based upon the verification of such reports and whenever there is reasonable doubt about the accuracy of the sales of Product realized by an Affiliate or
766sublicensee, Medisorb may reasonably request Janssen to audit the books of such Affiliate or such sublicensee in accordance with any applicable contractual
767provision, in order to confirm the accuracy of such reports.
768
769(4) Production of Product/Technology Transfer:
770
771(a) Janssen shall use its reasonable efforts to commercialize and market Product, or to have the same commercialized and marketed.
772
773(b) In the event that Janssen determines to manufacture Product itself or have Product manufactured by a third party, Medisorb shall transfer to
774Janssen all relevant Technical Information, and provide such technical assistance, upon mutually agreed terms and conditions, as is required by Janssen
775in order to enable the manufacture of Product by Janssen or its designated third party manufacturer. However, with respect to such third party manufacturers,
776except as limited by a written Product manufacturing agreement between Janssen and Medisorb, Medisorb will have a right of first refusal as to the manufacture
777and supply to Janssen of all Product(s), and component bioabsorbable polymers utilized in such Product(s). Medisorb will have a period of thirty (30) days

782License Agreement
783
784following written notice from Janssen of terms it is offering to, or prepared to accept from, a third party manufacturer to notify Janssen of its intention to
785exercise its right of first refusal to supply Product and/or component bioabsorbable polymers thereof to Janssen, its Affiliates and Licensees on terms
786no less favorable to Janssen than those offered by such third party manufacturer. Such third party manufacturer cannot be an in-kind competitor to
787Medisorb and must be reasonably acceptable to Medisorb with respect to confidential protection of Medisorb's Technical Information. In the event that
788at any time during the term of this Agreement Medisorb is unable for any reason whatsoever to supply the Medisorb Polymers required by Janssen for use in
789Products, then the right of first refusal under this paragraph respecting the supply of the component bioabsorbable polymers shall be eliminated. For the
790purposes of this section, an "in-kind" competitor shall mean any organization which regularly engages in the contract development and/or contract manufacture
791of injectable controlled release drug delivery systems comprising a polymeric excipient based on lactic and/or glycolic acids and/or other closely related
792monomers. This Section 4(b) specifically supercedes Section 7(B) of the Development Agreement, which Section 7(B) shall be of no further force or effect.
793
794(c) The right of first refusal granted to Medisorb pursuant to Section 4(b) above shall be contingent upon: (i) Medisorb and Janssen reaching

1025(7) Third Party Intellectual Property Rights
1026----------------------------------------
1027
1028(a) Medisorb warrants that to the best of its current knowledge
1029and belief the Products to be developed hereunder will not infringe the patent
1030rights of any third party.
1031
1032(b) In the event that the manufacture, use or sale of the Product
1033would constitute an infringement of the rights of a third party in a country
1034because of the use of the Patents or Medisorb's know how, each party shall, as
1035soon as it becomes aware of the same, notify the other thereof in writing,
1036giving in the same notice full details known to it of the rights of such third
1037party and the extent of any alleged infringement. The parties shall after
1038receipt of such notice meet to discuss the situation, and, to the extent
1039necessary attempt to agree on a course of action in order to permit Janssen to
1040practice the license granted hereunder. Such course of action may include: (a)
1041modifying the Product or its manufacture so as to be noninfringing; (b)
1042obtaining an appropriate license from such third party; or (c) fight the claimor
1043suit. In the event that within a short period of time, the parties fail to
1044agree on an appropriate course of action Janssen may decide upon the course of
1045action in the interest of the further development, manufacturing or
1046commercialization of the Product.
1047
1048(c) In the event that the parties cannot agree on modifying the
1049Product or in the case that such modification would not be economically viable
1050or regulatorily feasible, Janssen, whenever it relates to know how, whether
1051patented or not, owned by Janssen in accordance with the provisions of Article 5
1052(b) and (c), or Medisorb, whenever it relates to know how, whether patented or
1053not, owned by Medisorb in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 (a), will
1054have the right to negotiate with such third party for such license. Both
1055parties hereto will in any event in good faith consult with each other with
1056respect to such negotiations and the party negotiating such license as indicated
1057above, will make every effort to minimize the amount of license fees and
1058royalties payable thereunder. In no event shall either party as a result of
1059such settlement, grant a sublicense or cross license to the third party to
1060settle the suit, without the prior written approval of the other party. In the
1061event that such negotiations result in a consummated agreement, any license fee
1062and/or royalties to be paid thereunder shall be paid by the party responsible
1063for the negotiations as indicated above, [ ] of any license
1064fees or royalties paid by Janssen under such license will be creditable against
1065royalties due to Medisorb with respect to such country or countries.

1074
1075(d) In the event that either or both parties would further to such
1076notification under Paragraph 7 (b) decide to defend such suit or claim in which
1077a third party alleges that the manufacture, use or selling of the Product
1078infringes said third party's patent in a country, Janssen shall have the right
1079to apply [ ] of the royalties due to Medisorb on the
1080sales of the allegedly infringing Product against its litigation expenses.
1081
1082(8) Term:
1083----
1084
1085(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and the
1086term of the license granted to Janssen hereunder shall commence on the date
1087first written above and shall expire (i) upon expiration of the last to expire
1088Patent in such country or (ii) fifteen (15) years after the date of the first
1089commercial sale of Product in such country, whichever is later; provided, that
1090in no event shall the license granted hereunder expire later than the twentieth
1091anniversary of the first commercial sale of Product in any country with the
1092exception of the following countries where the fifteen (15) year minimum shall
1093pertain regardless: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and the United
1094Kingdom. After expiration of the license granted to Janssen hereunder, Janssen
1095shall retain a fully paid-up non-exclusive license to manufacture, use and sell
1096Products in the Field in the Territory.
1097
1098(b) Medisorb may convert the exclusive license granted under this
1099Agreement to non-exclusive if Janssen does not maintain the following minimum
1100annual royalty payments to Medisorb:
1101
1102(i) With respect to the entire Territory, excluding Japan, the
1103minimum royalty obligation will first apply to the twelve month period following
1104the anniversary of the end of the ;month in which the Product was launched in
1105the third major country. For the purpose of this Article only, major country
1106shall mean France, Germany, United Kingdom or Italy. During the first twelve
1107month period that such minimum royalty obligation is applicable, the minimum
1108royalty amount to be paid by Janssen will be calculated by multiplying the
1109applicable royalty rate by [ ] percent of the actual aggregate net sales of
1110other [ ] products during such twelve month period in the three major countries
1111referred to above.
1112
1113As from the subsequent twelve month period the minimum annual royalty amount to
1114be paid by Janssen will be calculated by multiplying the applicable royalty rate
1115by [ ]% of the aggregate net sales of other [ ] products
1116during such period in all countries where Product has been launched and marketed
1117for a period of minimally twelve months prior to the actual reference twelve
1118month period; and
1119
1120(ii) In Japan the minimum royalty obligation will be first
1121applied to the twelve month period following the anniversary of the end of the
1122month in which the Product was launched. The minimum annual royalty amount to be
1123paid by Janssen will be calculated by multiplying the applicable royalty rate by
1124an amount representing [ ]% of the aggregate net sales of other [ ] products in
1125Japan during such period.

1137provided, such make-up payment is made at the same time and in the same manner
1138as required for the underlying minimum royalty obligation.
1139
1140Janssen may elect to have its exclusive rights converted into non-exclusive
1141rights on a country by country basis. As a consequence thereof, such country's
1142other [ ] products sales will no longer be taken into account
1143for calculating the above minimum royalty obligation.
1144

1694withhold and pay on behalf of Medisorb with respect to the royalties payable to
1695Medisorb under this Agreement shall be deducted from said royalties and paid

1712section, the parties agree to (i) reinstitute the royalty otherwise applicable,
1713and (ii) in the event that any recovery is obtained for prior infringement of
1714the subsequently issued patent, the parties will first apply such recoveries to
1715reimbursing Medisorb for royalties it would otherwise have received.
1716
1717(c) Janssen US shall keep complete and adequate records with
1718respect to the proceeds of Products on which it has to pay royalties payable
1719hereunder for at least two (2) years after expiry of the year they concern.
1720Medisorb shall have the right to have such records of Janssen US inspected and
1721examined, at Medisorb's expense, for the purpose of determining the correctness
1722of royalty payments made hereunder.
1723
1724Such inspection shall be made by an independent, certified public accountant to
1725whom Janssen US shall have no reasonable objection. Such accountant shall not
1726disclose to Medisorb any information other than that necessary to verify the
1727accuracy of the reports and payments made pursuant to this Agreement. It is
1728understood that such examination with respect to any quarterly accounting period
1729shall take place not later than two (2) years following the expiration of said
1730period. Not more than one examination per year shall take place.

1754itself or through an Affiliate or have Product manufactured by a third party,
1755Medisorb shall transfer to Janssen US and/or Affiliate all relevant Technical
1756Information, and provide such technical assistance, upon mutually agreed terms
1757and conditions, as is required by Janssen US in order to enable the manufacture
1758of Product by Janssen US, its Affiliate or its designated third party
1759manufacturer. However, with respect to such third party manufacturers, except
1760as limited by a written Product manufacturing agreement between Janssen US and
1761Medisorb, Medisorb will have a right of first refusal as to the manufacture and
1762supply to Janssen US of all Product(s), and component bioabsorbable polymers
1763utilized in such Product(s). Medisorb will have a period of thirty (30) days
1764following written notice from Janssen US of terms it is offering to, or prepared
1765to accept from, a third party manufacturer to notify Janssen US of its intention
1766to exercise its right of first refusal to supply Product and/or component
1767bioabsorbable polymers thereof to Janssen US, its Affiliates and Licensees on
1768terms no less favorable to Janssen US than those offered by such third party
1769manufacturer. Such third party manufacturer cannot be an in-kind competitor to
1770Medisorb and must be reasonably acceptable to Medisorb with respect to
1771confidential protection of Medisorb's Technical Information. In the event that
1772at any time during the term of this Agreement Medisorb is unable for any reason
1773whatsoever to supply the Medisorb Polymers required by Janssen U.S. for use in
1774Products, then the right of first refusal under this paragraph respecting the
1775supply of the component bioabsorbable polymers shall be eliminated. For the
1776purposes of this section, an "in-kind" competitor shall mean any organization
1777which regularly engages in the contract development and/or contract manufacture
1778of injectable controlled release drug delivery systems comprising a polymeric
1779excipient based on lactic and/or glycolic acids and/or other closely related
1780monomers. This Section 4(b) specifically supersedes Section 7(B) of the
1781Development Agreement, which Section 7(B) shall be of no further force or
1782effect.

2749(3) Royalties:
2750----------
2751
2752(a) Janssen US shall pay or cause to be paid to Medisorb a running
2753royalty with respect to all Products sold to customers in the Territory by
2754Janssen US, its Affiliates and Sublicensees, payable quarter-annually in arrears
2755within sixty (60) days following the end of Janssen US's regular fiscal quarters
2756in any year during the term hereof, as follows: (i) [ ]% of the Net Sales of
2757each unit of Product sold during the preceding calendar quarter during the term
2758hereof, if such unit of Product was manufactured by Medisorb pursuant to a
2759written contract for the supply of Product; or (ii) [ ]% of the Net Sales of
2760each unit of Product sold during the preceding calendar quarter during the term
2761hereof, if such unit of Product was not manufactured by Medisorb pursuant to a
2762written contract for the supply of Product. Any withholding or other tax that
2763Janssen US or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees are required by statute to
2764withhold and pay on behalf of Medisorb with respect to the royalties payable to
2765Medisorb under this Agreement shall be deducted from said royalties and paid
2766contemporaneously with the remittance to Medisorb; provided, however, that in
2767regard to any tax so deducted Janssen US shall furnish Medisorb with proper
2768evidence of the taxes paid on its behalf.
2769
2770(b) In the event that Product is not claimed in a valid Patent
2771effective in the Territory and a similar product obtains a market share greater
2772than [ ]% of the total market revenues for Products and similar products in
2773such country, the parties agree to meet and negotiate in good faith an
2774appropriate reduction in the royalty rate then in effect. In no event shall a
2775reduction in royalty rates pursuant to this section result in royalty rates
2776[ ] of the rates specified under Section 3(a)(i) and 3(a)(ii) of this
2777Agreement. For the purposes of this section, "similar product" shall mean a
2778generic version of the Product(s) where: (i) the active agent is
2779[ ], or a chemical analogue thereof and (ii) the excipient is
2780comprised of lactic and/or glycolic acids. In the event that patent protection
2781in the Territory for Product(s) becomes available subsequent to a royalty
2782reduction pursuant to this section, the parties agree to (i) reinstitute the
2783royalty otherwise applicable, and (ii) in the event that any recovery is
2784obtained for prior infringement of the subsequently issued patent, the parties
2785will first apply such recoveries to reimbursing Medisorb for royalties it would
2786otherwise have received.

2797(c) Janssen US shall keep complete and adequate records with respect to
2798the proceeds of Products on which it has to pay royalties payable hereunder for
2799at least two (2) years after expiry of the year they concern. Medisorb shall
2800have the right to have such records of Janssen US inspected and examined, at
2801Medisorb's expense, for the purpose of determining the correctness of royalty
2802payments made hereunder.
2803
2804Such inspection shall be made by an independent, certified public accountant to
2805whom Janssen US shall have no reasonable objection. Such accountant shall not
2806disclose to Medisorb any information other than that necessary to verify the
2807accuracy of the reports and payments made pursuant to this Agreement. It is
2808understood that such examination with respect to any quarterly accounting period
2809shall take place not later than two (2) years following the expiration of said
2810period. Not more than one examination per year shall take place.
2811
2812Based upon the verification of such reports and whenever there is reasonable
2813doubt about the accuracy of the sales of Product realized by an Affiliate or
2814sublicensee, Medisorb may reasonably request Janssen US to audit the books of
2815such Affiliate or such sublicensee in accordance with any applicable contractual

3771required to make and use the Medisorb Polymers.
3772
3773(3) Royalties:
3774----------
3775
3776(a) Janssen shall pay or cause to be paid to Medisorb a running
3777royalty with respect to all Products sold to customers by Janssen, its
3778Affiliates and Sublicensees, payable quarter-annually in arrears within sixty
3779(60) days following the end of each three (3) month period ending on March 31,
3780June 30, September 30 or December 31 in any year during the term hereof, as
3781follows: (i) [ ]% of the Net Sales of each unit of Product sold during the
3782preceding calendar quarter during the term hereof, if such unit of Product was
3783manufactured by Medisorb pursuant to a written contract for the supply of
3784Product; or (ii) [ ]% of the Net Sales of each unit of Product sold during
3785the preceding calendar quarter during the term hereof, if such unit of Product
3786was not manufactured by Medisorb pursuant to a written contract for the supply
3787of Product. Any withholding or other tax that Janssen or any of its Affiliates
3788are required by statute to withhold and pay on behalf of Medisorb with respect
3789to the royalties payable to Medisorb under this Agreement shall be deducted from
3790said royalties and paid contemporaneously with the remittance to Medisorb;
3791provided, however, that in regard to any tax so deducted Janssen shall furnish
3792Medisorb with proper evidence of the taxes paid on its behalf.
3793
3794(b) In the event that, in a country where Product is not claimed
3795in a valid Patent, a similar product obtains a market share greater than
3796[ ]% of the total market revenues for Products and similar products in such
3797country, the parties agree to meet and negotiate in good faith an appropriate
3798reduction in the royalty rate then in effect. In no event shall a reduction
3799in royalty rates pursuant to this section result in royalty rates [
3800] of the rates specified under Section 3(a)(i) and 3(a)(ii) of this Agreement.
3801For the purposes of this section, "similar product" shall mean a generic version
3802of the Product(s) where: (i) the active agent is [ ], or a chemical
3803analogue thereof and (ii) the excipient is comprised of lactic and/or glycolic
3804acids. In the event that patent protection for Product(s) becomes available
3805subsequent to a royalty reduction pursuant to this section, the parties agree to
3806(i) reinstitute the royalty otherwise applicable, and (ii) in the event that any
3807recovery is obtained for prior infringement of the subsequently issued patent,
3808the parties will first apply such recoveries to reimbursing Medisorb for
3809royalties it would otherwise have received.

3823(c) Janssen shall keep complete and adequate records with respect
3824to the proceeds of Products on which it has to pay royalties payable hereunder
3825for at least two (2) years after expiry of the year they concern. Medisorb shall
3826have the right to have such records of Janssen inspected and examined, at
3827Medisorb's expense, for the purpose of determining the correctness of royalty
3828payments made hereunder.
3829
3830Such inspection shall be made by an independent, certified public accountant to
3831whom Janssen shall have no reasonable objection. Such accountant shall not
3832disclose to Medisorb any information other than that necessary to verify the
3833accuracy of the reports and payments made pursuant to this Agreement. It is
3834understood that such examination with respect to any quarterly accounting period
3835shall take place not later than two (2) years following the expiration of said
3836period. Not more than one examination per year shall take place.
3837
3838Based upon the verification of such reports and whenever there is reasonable
3839doubt about the accuracy of the sales of Product realized by an Affiliate or
3840sublicensee, Medisorb may reasonably request Janssen to audit the books of such
3841Affiliate or such sublicensee in accordance with any applicable contractual
3842provision, in order to confirm the accuracy of such reports.
3843
3844(4) Production of Product/Technology Transfer:
3845-----------------------------------------

3853assistance, upon mutually agreed terms and conditions, as is required by Janssen
3854in order to enable the manufacture of Product by Janssen or its designated third
3855party manufacturer. However, with respect to such third party manufacturers,
3856except as limited by a written Product manufacturing agreement between Janssen
3857and Medisorb, Medisorb will have a right of first refusal as to the manufacture
3858and supply to Janssen of all Product(s), and component bioabsorbable polymers
3859utilized in such Product(s). Medisorb will have a period of thirty (30) days
3860following written notice from Janssen of terms it is offering to, or prepared to
3861accept from, a third party manufacturer to notify Janssen of its intention to
3862exercise its right of first refusal to supply Product and/or component
3863bioabsorbable polymers thereof to Janssen, its Affiliates and Licensees on terms
3864no less favorable to Janssen than those offered by such third party
3865manufacturer. Such third party manufacturer cannot be an in-kind competitor to
3866Medisorb and must be reasonably acceptable to Medisorb with respect to

3891specifically supercedes Section 7(B) of the Development Agreement, which Section
38927(B) shall be of no further force or effect.
3893
3894(c) The right of first refusal granted to Medisorb pursuant to
3895Section 4(b) above shall be contingent upon: (i) Medisorb and Janssen reaching
3896an agreement concerning the financing, scheduling and construction in Europe of
3897a Medisorb manufacturing facility within twelve (12) months of the date first
3898above written or the initiation of Phase III human clinical trials, whichever is
3899later, and (ii) prior to the qualification of Medisorb's European manufacturing
3900facility, Medisorb using reasonable efforts to supply from its United States
3901manufacturing facilities all of Janssen's commercial requirements for Product
3902pursuant to the Product Supply Agreement anticipated by Section 7(A) of the
3903Development Agreement.

4178and belief the Products to be developed hereunder will not infringe the patent
4179rights of any third party.
4180
4181(b) In the event that the manufacture, use or sale of the Product
4182would constitute an infringement of the rights of a third party in a country
4183because of the use of the Patents or Medisorb's know how, each party shall, as
4184soon as it becomes aware of the same, notify the other thereof in writing,
4185giving in the same notice full details known to it of the rights of such third
4186party and the extent of any alleged infringement. The parties shall after
4187receipt of such notice meet to discuss the situation, and, to the extent
4188necessary attempt to agree on a course of action in order to permit Janssen to
4189practice the license granted hereunder. Such course of action may include: (a)
4190modifying the Product or its manufacture so as to be noninfringing; (b)
4191obtaining an appropriate license from such third party; or (c) fight the claimor
4192suit. In the event that within a short period of time, the parties fail to
4193agree on an appropriate course of action Janssen may decide upon the course of
4194action in the interest of the further development, manufacturing or
4195commercialization of the Product.
4196
4197(c) In the event that the parties cannot agree on modifying the
4198Product or in the case that such modification would not be economically viable
4199or regulatorily feasible, Janssen, whenever it relates to know how, whether
4200patented or not, owned by Janssen in accordance with the provisions of Article 5
4201(b) and (c), or Medisorb, whenever it relates to know how, whether patented or
4202not, owned by Medisorb in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 (a), will
4203have the right to negotiate with such third party for such license. Both
4204parties hereto will in any event in good faith consult with each other with
4205respect to such negotiations and the party negotiating such license as indicated
4206above, will make every effort to minimize the amount of license fees and
4207royalties payable thereunder. In no event shall either party as a result of
4208such settlement, grant a sublicense or cross license to the third party to
4209settle the suit, without the prior written approval of the other party. In the
4210event that such negotiations result in a consummated agreement, any license fee
4211and/or royalties to be paid thereunder shall be paid by the party responsible
4212for the negotiations as indicated above, [ ] of any
4213license fees or royalties paid by Janssen under such license will be creditable
4214against royalties due to Medisorb with respect to such country or countries.

4230(d) In the event that either or both parties would further to such
4231notification under Paragraph 7 (b) decide to defend such suit or claim in which
4232a third party alleges that the manufacture, use or selling of the Product
4233infringes said third party's patent in a country, Janssen shall have the right
4234to apply [ ] of the royalties due to Medisorb on
4235the sales of the allegedly infringing Product against its litigation expenses.
4236
4237(8) Term:
4238----
4239
4240(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and the
4241term of the license granted to Janssen hereunder shall commence on the date
4242first written above and shall expire (i) upon expiration of the last to expire
4243Patent in such country or (ii) fifteen (15) years after the date of the first
4244commercial sale of Product in such country, whichever is later; provided, that
4245in no event shall the license granted hereunder expire later than the twentieth
4246anniversary of the first commercial sale of Product in any country with the
4247exception of the following countries where the fifteen (15) year minimum shall
4248pertain regardless: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and the United
4249Kingdom. After expiration of the license granted to Janssen hereunder, Janssen
4250shall retain a fully paid-up non-exclusive license to manufacture, use and sell
4251Products in the Field in the Territory.
4252
4253(b) Medisorb may convert the exclusive license granted under this
4254Agreement to non-exclusive if Janssen does not maintain the following minimum
4255annual royalty payments to Medisorb:
4256
4257(i) With respect to the entire Territory, excluding Japan, the
4258minimum royalty obligation will first apply to the twelve month period following
4259the anniversary of the end of the month in which the Product was launched in the
4260third major country. For the purpose of this Article only, major country shall
4261mean France, Germany, United Kingdom or Italy. During the first twelve month
4262period that such minimum royalty obligation is applicable, the minimum royalty
4263amount to be paid by Janssen will be calculated by multiplying the applicable
4264royalty rate by [ ] percent of the actual aggregate net sales of other
4265[ ] products during such twelve month period in the three major
4266countries referred to above.
4267
4268As from the subsequent twelve month period the minimum annual royalty amount to
4269be paid by Janssen will be calculated by multiplying the applicable royalty rate
4270by [ ]% of the aggregate net sales of other [ ] products
4271during such period in all countries where Product has been launched and marketed
4272for a period of minimally twelve months prior to the actual reference twelve
4273month period; and

4289
4290(ii) In Japan the minimum royalty obligation will be first
4291applied to the twelve month period following the anniversary of the end of the
4292month in which the Product was launched. The minimum annual royalty amount to
4293be paid by Janssen will be calculated by multiplying the applicable royalty
4294rate by an amount representing [ ]% of the aggregate net sales of other
4295[ ] products in Japan during such period.
4296
4297Janssen shall have the right to make up any shortfall in minimum royalty
4298payments from Product sales, both in Japan and in the rest of the Territory
4299provided, such make-up payment is made at the same time and in the same manner
4300as required for the underlying minimum royalty obligation.
4301
4302Janssen may elect to have its exclusive rights converted into non-exclusive
4303rights on a country by country basis. As a consequence thereof, such country's
4304other [ ] products sales will no longer be taken into account for
4305calculating the above minimum royalty obligation.
4306
4307(c) In the event that either party shall enter or be put into
4308voluntary or compulsory liquidation or have a receiver appointed or default in
4309the observance or performance of its obligations under this Agreement and shall
4310fail to remedy such default within ninety (90) days after the delivery of
4311written notice from the other party, the other party shall be entitled upon
4312giving written notice to terminate this Agreement.
4313
4314(d) Janssen may terminate this Agreement without cause upon 30
4315days prior written notice. Thereafter, Janssen shall have no further rights or
4316privileges with respect to the use of Medisorb Technology in Products and
4317Medisorb shall be under no further obligation of non-competition or exclusive
4318dealing.
4319
4320(e) Any early termination of the Agreement shall be without
4321prejudice to the rights of either party against the other accrued under this
4322Agreement prior to termination.
4323
4324(f) Upon any termination of this Agreement, any remaining
4325inventory of Product may be sold, provided all royalties otherwise due hereunder
4326are paid with respect to such sales.

4387injury or damage to property arising out or caused by Janssen's promotion, use
4388and sale of the Product, except where such liabilities claims, demands, costs or

4422(12) Product Information and Adverse Drug Events
4423-------------------------------------------
4424
4425(a) As Janssen has superior knowledge of the end-use applications
4426to which Products licensed hereunder will be put, Janssen is responsible for
4427providing third parties with adequate information as to the medical profile of
4428such Products. Janssen will provide Medisorb with copies of the IPID
4429(International Product Information Document) and the IPPI (International Patient
4430Package Insert), which are all part of the IRF for the Product. For the purpose
4431of this Agreement IPID refers to the document that summarizes all medically
4432relevant features of the Product, including the instructions for use meant to
4433inform the medical profession, whereas the IPPI is a patient-oriented document,
4434based upon the IPID that summarizes all relevant information on the Product in

4436in the IPID and IPPI of the Product.
4437
4438(b) Medisorb does not claim the expertise to judge whether
4439Product(s) will perform acceptably in Janssen's application(s). Janssen is the
4440sole judge as to whether Product(s) will perform acceptably in Janssen's
4441application(s). Janssen represents and warrants on an on-going basis during the
4442term of this agreement that it has the capability to assess the suitability of
4443Product(s) in Janssen's application(s) and agrees to conduct adequate testing to
4444confirm the safety and efficacy of Products prior to commercialization.
4445
4446(c) Medisorb will provide to Janssen promptly after its discovery
4447by Medisorb, any information in its possession which indicates adverse effects
4448in humans associated with the Products, including the bioabsorbable polymeric
4449components thereof, licensed hereunder. For the purpose of this Agreement
4450"adverse event" shall mean an experience which is noxious and unintended and
4451which occurs at doses normally used in man for the prophylaxis, diagnosis or
4452therapy of a disease or for the modification of a physiological function and any
4453report of an overdose.

4489
4490(14) Force Majeure: Neither party shall be liable for its failure to
4491-------------
4492perform any of its obligations hereunder if such failure is occasioned by a

4494occurrences such as strikes or other labor disturbances, lock out, riot, war,
4495default by a common carrier, fire, flood, storm, earthquake, other acts of God,
