3.3. Running Royalties. Commencing with the initial sale of any Licensed
-----------------
Products by Licensee or its Subsidiaries in any country, Licensee agrees to pay
to Licensor royalties of either:
(a) [*] of the Net Sales of Licensed Products, the making, using or
selling of which infringes (were it not for the License) at least one claim in a
pending application or unexpired and non-lapsed patent included in the Patents
(treating pending applications as issued for these purposes); or
(b) [*] of the Net Sales, during the License Period of the Technology,
of Licensed Products that do not fall within the clause (a), above, but for use
any part or all of the Technology in the manufacture or the use thereof, or
both.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3, if
Licensor has the right to obtain a patent in, at minimum, the following
countries: the United States, Canada, Japan and the European Convention member
countries of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain,
Switzerland and United Kingdom, and if Licensee supports maintaining the patent
in the United States but Licensee and Licensor, under Section 4.4 below, decline
to support the corresponding patent or patent application in Australia, Canada,
Japan or any of the European Convention member countries (hereinafter a
"declined country"), then Licensee agrees to pay a [*] royalty on the Net Sales
of products in any such declined country for the lifetime of the United States
patent, the making, using or selling of which would have infringed the Patents
if Licensee had supported a corresponding patent or patent application in the
declined country. In determining such hypothetical infringement, reference shall
be made to the scope of the claims pending or obtained in the corresponding
United States patent or patent application.
Stacking Royalties. In the event that it is necessary, based on patent
------------------
rights held by one or more third parties in any country, for Licensee to pay
royalties to such third party or parties on any Licensed Product, then Licensee
may reduce the royalties on Net Sales owed to Licensor within a 12-month period
under this Section 3.3 with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such
country, by the amount of such necessary royalties actually paid to the third
party or parties on Net Sales in sales in such country within the same 12-month
period, provided that no royalty payment to Licensor under this Agreement shall
be reduced by more than [*]. In the event that it is necessary,
based on patent rights held by Licensor other than the Patents, for Licensee to
obtain a license from Licensor (in addition to the License hereunder) in order
to make, use, sell, import or offer for sale Licensed Products, Licensor will
take into account any royalties due to Licensor under this Agreement when
establishing royalties for such additional license.

Technology, the portion of the fees payable to licensor hereunder shall be [*]
if the sublicense is executed during the first year of the License Period, [*]
if the sublicense is executed during the second year of the License Period, and
[*] thereafter. For purposes hereof, the term "fees" shall include, but is not
limited to, upfront payments, milestone payments and annual minimums, but it
does not include royalties based on Net Sales, the value of equity or debt
instruments issued to Licensee or funding for research and development programs
that are directly related to the development of Patents or Technology.
(b) Royalties. As to each sublicense granted by Licensee under the

of the Net Sales of Licensed Products that do not fall within the preceding
clause, but do use Technology in the manufacture or the use thereof; or (2) [*]

last days of March, June, September and December in each year or portion thereof
during the License Period, and within sixty (60) days after the end of the

of exchange of local currencies to U.S. Dollars shall be at the rate of exchange
prevailing at the Bank of Boston (or such other bank in Boston, Massachusetts or
New York, New York as Licensor may designate from time to time), for currencies
of the amounts involved, as such rate is stated for the first business day after
the end of the period with respect to which the royalties are due. To the extent
that any sublicense from Licensee to any Sublicensee hereunder which is approved
in writing by Licensor contains currency provisions different from the
foregoing, such currency provisions shall apply for the purpose of determining
royalty payments to Licensor on Net Sales by such sublicensee.
3.7. Records; Audits. Licensee shall keep (and cause to be kept) and
---------------
maintain complete and accurate records of Net Sales of the Licensed Products by
Licensee, its Subsidiaries and its sublicensees, and all other payments made by

Sections 3.3 and 3.4, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
procedures. Such records shall be accessible to independent certified public
accountants selected by Licensor and reasonably acceptable to Licensee, by
audits conducted not more than once a year during the License Period and for one
year after the termination thereof, at any reasonable times during business
hours, for the purpose of verifying Net Sales and any royalties due thereon.
Such accountants shall disclose to Licensor only information relating to the
accuracy of the records kept and the payments made, and shall be under a duty to
keep confidential any other information obtained from such records. Licensee,
its Subsidiaries and its sublicensees shall not be required to retain such
records for more than three (3) years after the close of any calendar
quarter-year. No period shall be subject to audit under this Section more than
once as to any entity being audited. Results of any such audit shall be made
available to both parties. The determination by an independent, certified public
accountant pursuant to this Section 3.7 as to the amount due and payable by
Licensee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding upon both parties.
3.8. Substantial Underpayment. If any such audit reveals that the aggregate
------------------------
of royalties paid during any four consecutive calendar quarters was more than
[*] less than the amount that should have been paid, then the reasonable
expenses of the audit shall be borne by Licensee, which shall pay those expenses
within thirty (30) days after demand therefor by Licensor accompanied by the
accountants' statement therefor.
3.9. Taxes. All taxes and charges which may be imposed by any government
-----
taxing authority on the amounts paid by Licensee to Licensor under this
Agreement shall be assumed by Licensee. In the event Licensee is required to
withhold such taxes or charges from the Licensor, Licensee shall deliver to
Licensor true copies of the receipts or returns covering each such payment. In
the event a waiver is available for the payment of any such tax imposed by a
foreign government as a result of Licensor's status as a non-profit
organization, Licensor agrees to consider, in its sole discretion, any
reasonable request by Licensee to cooperate in any efforts initiated by Licensee
to obtain such a waiver. Licensee agrees to reimburse Licensor for Licensor's
reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in considering such
requests and cooperating with such waiver process, including outside counsel
fees, if any.

patent application in at least one Core Country covered by Licensee's request.
If Licensor notifies Licensee that it has elected to so maintain the subject
patent or patent application, such patent or patent application shall no longer
be considered Patents under this Agreement, and Licensee shall have no further
rights or interest in or to the subject patent or patent application, or the
information included therein, worldwide. If Licensor notifies Licensee that it
has elected to abandon the subject patent or patent application as requested by
Licensee, Licensor and Licensee may, by mutual agreement, cause the information
included in such patent or patent application to become Technology for all
purposes of this Agreement in the requested countries; otherwise Licensee shall

5.1. Limitations on Use, Disclosure. Licensee agrees to treat
------------------------------
confidential all Confidential Technology disclosed to it by Licensor. Licensee

Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
Licensee may disclose Confidential Technology for reasonable business purposes
only under the terms of a confidentiality agreement. Licensee agrees that it
will exercise every reasonable precaution to prevent the disclosure of
Confidential Technology by any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
to other parties, other than to its Subsidiaries and its sublicensees. Any
Confidential Technology disclosed to Subsidiaries or sublicensees shall be
disclosed on the basis of and subject to the confidentiality provisions of this
Agreement. Licensee agrees to limit the disclosure of the Confidential
Technology to those agents or employees of Licensee, its Subsidiaries, and its
sublicensees who have a need to know for the purpose of making, using or selling
Licensed Products, and who are obligated to Licensee to comply, on behalf of
Licensee, with the terms of this Agreement. Licensee agrees to be responsible
for all such compliance and failure thereof.
Licensor agrees to treat as confidential all information disclosed to it by
Licensee that is identified in writing as being confidential ("Licensee
Confidential Information"). Licensor shall use the Licensee Confidential
Information for purposes of this Agreement only.
5.2. Cessation. Any information which is Confidential Technology at the
---------
date of disclosure thereof to Licensee, its Subsidiaries or its sublicensees or
is Licensee Confidential Information at the date of disclosure thereof to
Licensor shall cease to be Confidential Technology or Licensee Confidential
Information, respectively, and the party receiving information ("Recipient")
from the disclosing party ("Discloser") shall be released from the provisions of
Section 5.1 as to such information on the date when, through no act or omission
on the part of Recipient such information becomes (a) publicly known by way of a
single publication in which such confidential information is disclosed in
reasonable detail or (b) so widely known and used that it can be said to be
generally available to the public or (c) known to Recipient by receipt in good
faith from a third party not under any duty to Discloser not to disclose it.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Recipient agrees that before Recipient
may claim that any information is not or was not Confidential Technology or
Licensee Confidential Information, or claim the right to make any use of
disclosure in reliance on the immediately preceding sentence, Recipient will
give to Discloser at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice specifying in
reasonably complete detail the information in question, the planned use or
disclosure, the claimed exception permitting such use or disclosure, and the
factual basis supporting Recipient's claim that the exception would permit the
planned use or disclosure. The royalties due to Licensor hereunder with respect
to Net Sales shall not in any way be reduced or otherwise adversely affected by
reason of any Confidential Technology ceasing to be or failing to have the
characteristics of Confidential Technology as defined herein.
5.3. Time Limit. The provisions of this Article V shall continue to apply
----------
to any information which is Confidential Technology or Licensee Confidential
Information for so long as it shall remain such, notwithstanding any termination
of this Agreement or the License or expiration of the License Period, provided,
however, that the obligations of confidentiality under this Article shall in any
event expire and cease to exist fifteen (15) years from the date of the original
Agreement.

efforts to Licensor within thirty (30) days of each anniversary of the date of
the original Agreement.
Evidence that Licensee, or its sublicensee, has achieved milestones (i)
through (iii), as scheduled below, shall be deemed, in and of itself to be a

Licensor's obligations under this Agreement if Licensee, its Subsidiaries or its
sublicensees have not by the time of such termination sold a therapeutic or
vaccine Licensed Product into the United States market.
6.3. Continued Diligence re Additional Licensed Products. After market

introduction of an initial Licensed Product, Licensee agrees to continue to show
diligence, consistent with sound and reasonable business practices and
judgments, in developing and commercializing additional Licensed Products.
6.4. Termination of License for Discontinuation of Development.

foreseen.

parties ("Losses"), and which arise out of or are in connection with or are for
the purpose of avoiding any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action,

arising, directly or indirectly, out of any one or more of: any breach by
Licensee of its representations, warranties or agreements hereunder; or out of

settlement of any Claim, with counsel of Licensee's choosing approved in advance

obligation or liability (other than for the payment of money as to which
Licensee has an indemnity obligation hereunder and as to which Licensee has
provided to Licensor reasonable assurances for Licensee's full and prompt
satisfaction of the same), whether for the taking of any action, the refraining

(whether same occurs or exists during or after the existence of the License or
during or after the License Period), Licensee will at Licensee's expense, obtain
and maintain in full force and effect, comprehensive general liability
insurance, including product liability insurance, protecting Licensor against
all claims, suits, obligations, liabilities, and damages, based upon or arising
out of actual or alleged bodily injury, personal injury, death or any other
damage to or loss of persons or property, caused by any such testing,
manufacture, marketing, possession, use, sale or other disposition. Such

A VIII or better (or other companies acceptable to Licensor), shall name
Licensor as an additional named insured, shall have limits of at least one
million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence with an aggregate of three million
dollars ($3,000,000), shall be non-cancelable except upon thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Licensor, and shall provide that as to any loss covered
thereby and also by any policies obtained by Licensor itself, Licensee's
policies shall provide primary coverage for Licensor and Licensor's policies
shall be considered excess coverage for Licensor.
8.4. Certificates; Policies. Licensee will forthwith after the obtaining of
----------------------
such insurance required by Section 8.3, obtain and delivery to Licensor
certificates of and copies of, and at all times thereafter deliver without

days prior written notice to Licensor.
8.5. Infringers. Each party shall inform the other promptly in writing of
----------
any alleged infringement of the Patents in the Field of Use by a third party,
including all details then available.
In general, with respect to any infringement of any Patent (other than U.S.
Patent [*] (the "[*] Patent") and the Multivalent Patents) in the Field of Use,
Licensee (or a sublicensee designated by Licensee and approved by Licensor for
this purpose) shall have the first right, but shall not be obligated, to take
any legal action at its own expense against the infringer. In any infringement
action commenced by Licensee (or its sublicensee), all expenses of Licensee (and
its sublicensee) shall first be reimbursed by any recovery and all remaining
recovery for infringement shall be shared 75% to Licensee (and its sublicensee)
and 25% to Licensor.
With respect to any infringement of any Patent (other than the [*] Patent
and the Multivalent Patents), if neither Licensee nor its sublicensee has taken
legal action or been successful in obtaining cessation of the infringement,
within one-hundred twenty (120) days of written notification from Licensor of
such infringement, or if Licensee and its sublicensee elect not to continue
prosecuting any legal action against an infringer, Licensee shall give notice
thereof to Licensor and Licensor shall have the right, but shall not be
obligated, to take any legal action at its own expense against the infringer. In

such action by Licensor, all expenses of Licensor shall first be reimbursed by
any recovery and all remaining recovery for infringement shall be shared 75% to
Licensor and 25% to Licensee.
Multivalent Patents. With respect to any infringement of the Multivalent
--------------------
Patents, in the Field of Use, Licensor shall have the first right, but shall not
be obligated, to prosecute at its own expense any such infringements, and
Licensee agrees that Licensor may join Licensee as a plaintiff at the expense of
Licensor. In any infringement action commenced solely by Licensor, all expenses
of Licensor shall first be reimbursed by any recovery and all remaining recovery
for infringement shall be shared 75% to Licensor and 25% to Licensee.
If Licensor has not taken legal action or been successful in obtaining
cessation of the infringement, within one-hundred twenty (120) days of written
notification from Licensee of infringement of the Multivalent Patents, or if
Lessor elects not to continue prosecuting any legal action against an infringer,
Licensee shall have the right (while the License is exclusive with respect to
the Multivalent Patents), but shall not be obligated, to prosecute at its own
expense any such infringement. Licensee may join Licensor as a plaintiff in any
such infringement suit at Licensee's expense. In any such action by Licensee,
all expenses of Licensee shall first be reimbursed by any recovery and all
remaining recovery for infringement shall be shared 25% to Licensor and 75% to
Licensee. Licensee shall indemnify Licensor against any order for costs or other
payments that may be made against Licensor in such proceedings.
By mutual agreement, Licensee and Licensor may agree to institute a suit
with respect to the Multivalent Patents jointly, the suit being brought in both
their names. Such agreement shall cover such matters as the sharing of recovery,
reimbursement of costs and expenses, exercise of control, and other relevant
matters.
If any action or suit alleging invalidity or non infringement of the
Multivalent Patents shall be brought against Licensee, Licensee shall defend
such action or suit at its sole expense, but Licensor shall have the right, at
its election made within sixty (60) days after commencement of that action or
suit, to intervene and take over the sole defense of the action or suit at
Licensor's sole expense unless the claim of the infringement has been asserted
by the claimant against Licensee as a counterclaim or other defensive pleadings
in an action theretofore commenced by Licensee against such claimant.
du Pont Patent. The parties acknowledge that the [*] Patent is co-owned by
--------------
Licensor and E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company ("du Pont"); du Pont's rights
and interests therein were (a) exclusively licensed to Licensor pursuant to a
License Agreement made as of March 17, 1990 (the "du Pont License Agreement")
between them and (b) exclusively sublicensed to Licensee pursuant to this
Agreement. The parties acknowledge that, as provided in Section 4.3 of the du
Pont License Agreement:
"If within ninety (90) days after having been notified by [du Pont] of
any alleged infringement ... [of the [*] Patent, Licensor] has been
unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist and has not

brought, and is not diligently prosecuting an infringement action, or if
[Licensor] notifies [du Pont] at any time prior thereto of its intention
not to bring suit against any alleged infringer, then, in that event, [du
Pont] may, but shall not be obligated to, prosecute, at its own expense,
any infringement of the [[*] Patent]...."
Accordingly, Licensor agrees to exercise, upon request of Licensee, its right
(as provided in Section 4.1 of the du Pont License Agreement), and designate
Licensee or a sublicensee of Licensee in Licensor's name, to take appropriate
legal actions with respect to any infringement of the [*] Patent at the expense
of Licensee (or its sublicensee).
With respect to any infringement of the [*] Patent, if Licensee (or its
sublicensee) has not brought and continued to diligently prosecute an action to
obtain cessation of the infringement, within sixty (60) days of written
notification to Licensee from Licensor or du Pont of such infringement, the
right to take legal action against the infringer shall revert to du Pont and
Licensor in accordance with Section 4.3 of the du Pont License Agreement.
Further, the parties acknowledge that, as, provided in Section 4.4 of the
du Pont License Agreement:
"... [Licensor] may withhold up to [*] of the payments otherwise ...
due [du Pont under the du Pont License Agreement] and apply the same toward
reimbursement of [Licensor's] expenses ... in connection [with the
enforcement and/or defense of the [*] Patent]. Any recovery of damages by
[Licensor] for any such suit shall be applied first in satisfaction or any
unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of [Licensor] relating to the suit or
settlement thereof, and next toward reimbursement of [du Pont] for any
payments withheld and applied pursuant to [Section 4.4 of the du Pont
License Agreement]. Any remaining recoveries shall be used to reimburse
[Licensor] for lost profits and [du Pont] shall be entitled to lost
payments on account of such lost profits. The balance thereafter remaining
from such recovery shall be divided among [du Pont] and [Licensor] [*] to
[du Pont] and [*] to [Licensor]."
Accordingly, the parties agree that (i) any and all amounts so withheld from
payments otherwise due du Pont under the du Pont License Agreement shall be
applied toward the reimbursement of expenses incurred by Licensee, its
sublicensee and/or Licensor in connection with the pursuit of such suit or
settlement thereof, and (ii) if Licensee has taken the lead in the infringement
action Licensee shall be entitled to receive the entire [*] of the finally
remaining amount of recoveries due Licensor as so provided in the du Pont
License Agreement.
The parties acknowledge that, as provided in Section 4.5 of the du Pont
License Agreement:

"In the event that a declaratory Judgment action alleging invalidity

Pont], [Licensor], at its option, shall have the right, within thirty (30)
days after commencement of such action, to intervene and take over the sole
defense of the action at its own expense.
Accordingly, Licensor agrees to exercise, upon request of Licensee, its right
(as so provided in the du Pont License Agreement), and designate Licensee or a
sublicensee of Licensee in Licensor's name, to take over the defense of such an
action at the expense of Licensee (or its sublicensee).
All Patents. With respect to infringement of any Patent, no settlement,

consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit may be entered
into without the joint consent of Licensor and Licensee, which consent shall not
be withheld unreasonably.
In any infringement suit that either party brings to enforce the Patents,
the other party shall at the request and expense of the party bringing the suit,
cooperate in all reasonable respects, including, to the extent possible,
obtaining the testimony of its employees and making available physical evidence
in the possession of that party.
Licensee shall have the exclusive right in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2.3 to sublicense any alleged infringer in the Territory for the
Field of Use, for future use of the Patents.

of and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to
Licensor with respect to such material default, Licensor may terminate the
License (whether in its exclusive or non-exclusive period) and Licensor's
obligations hereunder by written notice to Licensee at any time after the
expiration of such thirty (30) day notice period if Licensee has not cured the
material default and the effects thereof before Licensor gives such notice of
termination to Licensee, unless Licensee commences mediation or arbitration

ARTICLE XI - NON-USE OF NAMES.
-----------------------------
Licensee agrees that it, its Subsidiaries and its sublicensees will not use
the name "Tufts University" or "New England Medical Center Hospitals, Inc." or
any variant thereof, or identify Tufts or NEMCH or any portion of Tufts or
NEMCH, or any inventor or any of the Patents or Technology, as a party to this
Agreement, or as a participant in inventing the inventions of the Patents or
creating the Technology, including, without limitation, in any advertising or
promotional sales literature, without prior express written consent of Licensor,
which consent may be withheld or withdrawn by Licensor in its complete and
uncontrolled discretion for any reason whatsoever and at any time or times.
However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor will make no objection to any
proper reference by Licensee to published technical publications by such
inventors or creators; and, subject to the confidentiality requirements hereof,
Licensor will make no objection to Licensee's making such disclosures as in the
reasonable opinion of legal counsel as required as a matter of law, and such
general disclosures of this Agreement as may be desired by Licensee for purposes
of grant solicitations from governmental authorities, or as reasonably
determined by Licensee for the purposes of obtaining financing for Licensee, or
as reasonably determined by Licensee for the conduct of its business, other than
advertising or sales promotion. Licensee shall impose and enforce the
requirements of this Article on its Subsidiaries and sublicensees.
For Tufts, such approval shall be obtained from the Associate ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for
Research. For NEMCH, such approval shall be obtained from the Vice President for
Research Administration. Licensor agrees to respond within ten (10) business
days of Licensor's receipt of any request for approval under this Article,
provided that such request is delivered to the addresses indicated above in
Article X and is prominently marked "Urgent -- Please respond within ten days."
ARTICLE XII - COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
----------------------------------
12.1. Export Controls. The Export Control Regulations of the U.S.
---------------
Department of Commerce prohibit, except under special validated license, the
exportation from the United States of technical data relating to certain
commodities (listed in the Regulations), unless the exporter has received
certain written assurance from the foreign importer. In order to facilitate the
exchange of technical information under this Agreement, Licensee therefore
hereby agrees and gives its assurance to Licensor that Licensee will not, unless
any required prior authorization is obtained from the U.S. Office of Export
Control, re-export directly or indirectly any technical data received from
Licensor under this Agreement and will not export directly the Licensed Products
or such technical data to any country listed on either the Commodity Control
List or Militarily-Critical Technologies List. Licensor makes no representation
as to whether any such license is required or, if one is required, as to whether
it will be issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
12.2. Other Laws. In addition to the foregoing export control requirements,
----------
Licensee agrees that it, its Subsidiaries, and its sublicensees will comply with
all applicable mandatory or permissive patent marking laws, rules, and
regulations and

comply with all other laws, rules, and regulations of all governmental
authorities applicable to any of their activities contemplated by this
Agreement, and will comply with all necessary and desirable practices in
connection and compliance with safety recommendations of trade associations or
governmental authorities.
ARTICLE XIII - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
---------------------------------------
13.1. Assignment. Licensee shall not assign the License or this Agreement
----------
without the prior written consent of Licensor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Licensee, without such consent,
may assign all of its rights hereunder to the acquiring party in connection with
the transfer of all or substantially all of its business and assets to an
acquiring party or in the event of its merger or consolidation with that
acquiring party, if and only if the assignee shall assume all obligations of
Licensee under this Agreement. However, no assignment or other transfer by
Licensee shall relieve Licensee of any obligations hereunder and Licensee shall
continue to be primarily and jointly and severally liable (along with such
assignee or other transferee) for the performance of all obligations of Licensee
and such assignee or other transferee hereunder.
13.2. Independent Contractors. The parties hereto shall be independent
-----------------------
contractors with respect to each other, and nothing contained herein shall be
construed as constituting either of them as the agent, principal, employee,
servant, joint venturer or partner of the other for any purpose whatsoever.
13.3. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
-------------
accordance with Massachusetts law.
13.4. Sole Agreement. This Agreement and any Exhibits annexed hereto (each
--------------
of which is hereby made part hereof by this reference), and any other documents
which may be expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire
and only agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof; and
all prior negotiations, representations, warranties, agreements, and
understandings related thereto are superseded hereby.
13.5. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall to any extent
------------
be found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall
not be affected thereby, and any such invalid or unenforceable provision shall
be reformed so as to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law.
13.6. Headings. Headings of Articles, Sections, and subsections included
--------
herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used to construe
this Agreement.
13.7. Financial Confidentiality. Both parties agree to keep the financial
-------------------------
terms of this Agreement confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee
may make non-public disclosures to prospective investors and lenders as are
reasonably necessary for the purposes of obtaining financing.

ARTICLE XIV - DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
--------------------------------
14.1. Alternative Dispute Resolution. Subject to Section 14.2 below, for
------------------------------
all disputes, controversies, or differences which may arise between the parties
out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, or for the breach
thereof, which cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, the parties agree to
attempt in good faith to settle such disputes by mediation to be held in
accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules (the "Mediation Rules") of the
American Arbitration Association ("the Association") as the Mediation Rules then
exist, in Boston, Massachusetts, with the following deviations from the
Mediation Rules. By mutual agreement, the parties shall select at least one
qualified neutral mediator to serve. The party requesting mediation shall
designate its nominee or nominees in the request, which shall be addressed to
the Association with a simultaneous copy to the other party. The other party may
accept a nominee of the requesting party or may designate its own nominee or
nominees. The requesting party may accept a nominee of the other party or reject
the nominee. If within thirty (30) days of the initial request for mediation,
the parties are unable to select a mutually satisfactory, qualified neutral
mediator, a mediator shall be appointed by the Association according to the
Mediation Rules.
If the parties are unable to resolve any dispute through mediation, the
parties may resort to arbitration, litigation, or some other dispute-resolution
procedure. If the parties agree to submit to arbitration following an
unsuccessful mediation, the arbitration shall be held in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "Arbitration Rules") of the Association as the
Arbitration Rules then exist, in Boston, Massachusetts, with the following
deviations for the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrators shall consist of one
Licensor nominee, one Licensee nominee, and a third person jointly selected by
those two nominees. The party requesting arbitration shall designate its nominee
in the request, which shall be addressed to the Association with a simultaneous
copy to the other party. If the other party shall fail within thirty (30) days
of the request for arbitration to nominate the second arbitrator or if the two
arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within thirty (30)
days after selection of the second arbitrator, then in either case the
arbitration panel will be completed according to the Rules. Both legal and
equitable remedies shall be available to the arbitrators. The award of a
majority of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding on the parties
hereto and shall be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction. Licensor and
Licensee each irrevocably consent and submit to the jurisdiction of the courts
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States District Court for
the District of Massachusetts.
Each party shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the mediation or arbitration
filing fees, mediators' or arbitrators' fees and the like, but shall bear its
own attorneys' fees and other costs in such mediation or arbitration.
14.2. Judicial Relief. Claims, disputes, or controversies concerning the
---------------
validity, infringement, construction or effect of any patent including, without
limitation, any patent licensed hereunder, shall be resolved in any court having
jurisdiction thereof, and the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the United
States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In the event that, in
any mediation or arbitration proceeding, any issue

shall arise concerning the validity, infringement, construction, or effect of
any patent licensed hereunder, the mediators or arbitrators shall assume the
validity of all claims as set forth in such patent. In any case, the mediators
or arbitrators shall not delay the mediation or arbitration proceeding for the
purpose of obtaining or permitting either party to obtain judicial resolution of
such an issue, unless an order staying such mediation or arbitration proceeding
shall be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither party shall raise
any issue concerning the validity, infringement, construction, or effect of any
patent licensed hereunder in any proceeding to enforce any mediation or
arbitration award hereunder in any proceeding otherwise arising out of any such
mediation or arbitration award. Nothing in Section 14.1 shall be construed to
waive any rights or timely performance of any obligations existing under this
Agreement. Moreover, each party acknowledges that appropriate cases (as
determined by the courts of competent jurisdiction) of a violation by either
party of any of the provisions of this Agreement may entitle the other party to
equitable judicial relief, and this relief shall be available in addition to,
and shall not be unavailable by reason of, the mediation or arbitration
provisions of Section 14.1 above. Such equitable judicial relief may be by
temporary restraining orders, preliminary and permanent injunctions, and such
other equitable relief as any court of competent jurisdiction may deem just and
proper.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed and delivered
this Amended and Restated License Agreement under seal to be effective as of the
date hereof.
