Through the Project Team, if either Nucryst or S&N believes that S&N should pursue the development of any New Products or any Improvement to a Product in the Field in the Territory, the matter shall be discussed, and, if S&N approves the pursuit of such development, the Project Team shall develop and approve a Development Plan in respect thereof.

	3.2.2		Development Plans. The Project Team shall oversee the development of each New Product or any Improvement to a Product designated by S&N to be developed in the Territory. Subject to the overriding discretion of S&N to make or veto any decision of the Project Team, the Project Team shall review and approve written Development Plans and shall approve conduct and review progress under any such Development Plan(s) including material supply procedures and capacities, and other matters necessary to development of each Product in the Territory.

- 17 -

	4.3.1		all Regulatory Authority filings and applications necessary and/or desirable to obtain and maintain all necessary and/or desirable Market Approvals (including without limitation non-clinical and clinical trials but excluding any filings or approvals that relate solely to the manufacturing of Product and the CE Class III Approval); and

	4.3.2		all filings and applications necessary and/or desirable to obtain and maintain all necessary and/or desirable Reimbursement Approvals, excluding any filings or approvals that relate solely to the manufacturing of Product;

to use, market and Sell (and, if applicable, be reimbursed for) Product in those countries in the Territory where it is commercially reasonable for S&N to do so. S&N shall keep Nucryst informed in respect of the matters which are the subject of this Section 4.3 and shall give reasonable consideration to any concerns and suggestions of Nucryst with respect thereto. Nucryst shall offer to S&N all assistance reasonably required of Nucryst in connection with S&N’s obligations under this Section 4.3, and, in such regard, shall make available to S&N all relevant information in Nucryst’s possession relating to the Nucryst Technology in the Field (which Nucryst has the lawful right to disclose) in respect of any such filings or applications, such assistance or information to be provided by Nucryst in a reasonable and timely manner.

Section 4.7 [***] Claim

After the Original Effective Date, the parties agree to discuss and consider from time to time and make a determination with respect to the pursuit of [***] from the FDA for [***] claim and [***] and an effective Reimbursement Approval for a Product ([***] and Reimbursement Approval, a “[***] Claim”). S&N shall pay all costs and expenses (excluding Nucryst’s internal costs and expenses) of pursuing the [***] Claim and shall keep Nucryst informed with respect to the status and all other matters relating to such claim [***] and will consider seriously any comments from Nucryst with respect to such claim or [***] process. The parties agree that the [***] Claim shall not be pursued if a party determines, acting reasonably, that the likelihood of obtaining such [***] Claim is remote or the cost (including any payments required to be made under Article 6) of pursuing the [***] Claim would not be economically justified to either party. Each party agrees to offer to the other all reasonable assistance in connection with pursuing such [***] Claim, including all [***] data related to or arising from the research, development, manufacture, distribution or use of the Products. In the event that the [***] Claim is pursued and obtained, but circumstances have changed or assumptions originally made in determining that it was economically justifiable to pursue the [***] Claim have not been met, and S&N determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that it is not economically justifiable to commercially launch and offer the Product for Sale, then S&N shall not be obligated to commercially launch such Product for Sale, and the payment provided for in Section 6.4.3 shall not be applicable. In these circumstances, S&N may request and Nucryst agrees to enter into good faith negotiations to reduce the amount of the payment provided for in Section 6.4.3 so that it becomes economically justifiable to commercially launch and offer for sale the Product that is the subject of the [***] Claim. However, in the event that no agreement is reached between S&N and Nucryst as a result of such negotiations, the subject matter of this Section 4.7 may not be submitted by either party to dispute resolution under Section 13.4 of this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 4.8 Piggyback on S&N Approvals

In respect of any Product for which S&N has lost its exclusivity in any country in the Territory, subject to the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the use of Joint Improvements, S&N will not oppose Nucryst applying for Market Approvals and Reimbursements Approvals in those countries for those Products and using S&N’s approvals in those countries for those Products (as well as its generic clinical and test data that it used for its approvals in connection with such applications in those countries).

Section 5.1 Marketing Plans

The parties acknowledge that, with respect to the Territory, S&N will be responsible for the Sale and marketing of Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, S&N shall present to the Project Team annually for its review and consultation, beginning a reasonable period of time prior to

			Subject to Sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.4, if at any time S&N fails to meet any of the relevant diligence criteria referred to in Sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2, then Nucryst may give notice in writing to S&N upon Nucryst acquiring knowledge of such failure or, in any event within [*] days of written notice thereof being provided by S&N to Nucryst, that Nucryst elects hereunder to withdraw the exclusivity of the license granted under Section 2.1 and such license shall thereafter become non-exclusive in respect of all of the Products (except Acticoat Product and Acticoat 7 Product with respect to Canada and the United States) on the [*] after receipt of such notice in writing by S&N, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended accordingly.

	5.3.3		For the purposes of determining whether the relevant diligence criteria set forth in this Section have been met by S&N, where the failure to meet the relevant diligence criteria is as a result of:

	5.3.3.1		Force Majeure;

	5.3.3.2		the failure of Nucryst to provide a Product in the quantities requested by S&N pursuant to the Specifications set forth in the Supply Agreement;

	5.3.3.3		prior to obtaining a CE Class III license, S&N being required by the applicable Regulatory Authority to cease marketing and Selling Product in the European Union as a result of the successful challenge by a third party of the CE Class IIb license applicable to such Product, except to the extent attributable to the acts or omissions of S&N, its Affiliates or their respective permitted licensees or distributors; or

- 20 -

	5.3.3.4		the failure to obtain the CE Class III Approval;

Section 5.4 Sales Force and Use of Distributors

If S&N materially changes its mix of Sales made directly by S&N and Sales made through distributors from that in effect as at the Original Effective Date, S&N shall give notice to Nucryst and, either as a result of such notice or Nucryst otherwise becoming aware of such change, the parties shall at Nucryst’s request meet in a timely fashion thereafter to negotiate in good faith an agreement to place Nucryst in an equivalent position as if such change had not occurred taking into account factors including but not limited to the reduced sales price on which the royalty is calculated as well as any change in the magnitude of Sales and other variables that result from the change. If Nucryst and S&N do not reach agreement within thirty (30) days of commencing such negotiations, either party may refer the matter for resolution pursuant to Section 13.4.

	6.1.1		▇▇▇▇▇ & Nephew, Inc. shall pay from the United States to Nucryst Biomedical Corp. in Canada, with respect to a particular Product Sold in Canada;

	6.1.2		▇▇▇▇▇ & Nephew, Inc. shall pay from the United States to Nucryst Biomedical Inc. in the United States, with respect to a particular Product Sold in the United States; and

	6.1.3		▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ & Nephew Limited shall pay from the United Kingdom to Nucryst Biomedical Inc. in the United States, with respect to a particular Product Sold in any country in the Territory other than Canada or the United States;

within [***] days following the end of each calendar quarter, a royalty equal to [***] of Net Sales of such Product (the “Distribution Royalty”) made in that calendar quarter. Each royalty payment shall be accompanied by the report described in Section 6.6.

Section 6.2 Increase in Royalties

With respect to a particular Product during a particular calendar quarter, the Distribution Royalty shall be increased:

	6.2.1		by [*] for each [] that the Gross Profit Margin for such Product during such calendar quarter exceeds [], up to a maximum increase (pursuant to this Section 6.2.1) in the Distribution Royalty of [] (i.e., to an aggregate maximum Distribution Royalty of [**]); and

	6.2.2		in circumstances where Nucryst is not manufacturing and supplying to S&N such Product pursuant to the Supply Agreement during such calendar quarter, the Distribution Royalty shall further be increased (i.e., in addition to any increase pursuant to Section 6.2.1) by [*] of Net Sales of such Product during such calendar quarter until the earlier of (i) May 8, 2004, and (ii) the first day of the calendar quarter immediately following four (4) consecutive calendar quarters during which aggregate Net Sales of all Products in the Territory equaled at least [], whereupon the Distribution Royalty shall be increased pursuant to this Section 6.2.2 (in addition to any increase pursuant to Section 6.2.1) by [**] of Net Sales of such Product during such quarter.

- 29 -

Section 6.3 Decrease in Royalties

The Distribution Royalty shall be reduced as follows:

6.3.1

“Unprotected Competition” means, with respect to a particular Product in a particular country in the Territory:

	6.3.1.1		the absence of any Nucryst Patent Rights in relation to such Product then in effect in such country; and

	6.3.1.2		a third party is marketing or Selling a product in that country, the Sale of which would infringe a Nucryst Patent Right that covers such Product if one had been in effect in that country at that time.

	6.3.2		If S&N learns of the occurrence of Unprotected Competition in a country in the Territory in relation to a particular Product, it may give written notice thereof to Nucryst and thereupon Nucryst and S&N shall negotiate in good faith for the reduction of the Distribution Royalty applicable in that country to such Product for the period of such Unprotected Competition. If either party considers these negotiations are not likely to produce a mutually satisfactory agreement, it may refer the matter to arbitration pursuant to Section 13.4. In no event shall the Distribution Royalty with respect to such Product in such country be reduced by more than [ * * * ] (i.e., if pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 the Distribution Royalty was [ * * * ], the maximum reduction pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 would be to reduce such Distribution Royalty to [ * * * ] on account of that or any other Unprotected Competition in that country with respect to such Product. The reduction in the Distribution Royalty shall apply only to that Product in that country for the period of such Unprotected Competition. No increases in the Distribution Royalty that would otherwise apply pursuant to Section 6.2.1 shall apply thereafter with respect to such Product in such country for the period of such Unprotected Competition, The arbitrator shall take into account all factors relating to the market for such Product for that country, including without limitation, the market share of the competitor.

	6.3.3		If S&N is unable to make an acceptable (industry standard) Gross Profit Margin in relation to the Sale of a particular Product in the Territory, Nucryst agrees to negotiate in good faith with S&N to address possible solutions to such issue in relation to such Product. However, in the event that no agreement is reached between S&N and Nucryst as a result of such negotiations, the subject matter of this Section may not be submitted by either party to dispute resolution under Section 13.4 or otherwise.

	6.3.4		With respect to the Sale of a particular Product in the United States (or other country in the Territory (i) with “step-down” requirements similar to those in the United States and (ii) in which there existed at the relevant time Nucryst Patent Rights covering such Product) following the expiration or other

- 30 -

termination of the last of the Nucryst Patent Rights covering such Product in such country (i.e., all Nucryst Patent Rights in any way covering such Product in such country have expired or otherwise terminated including, without limitation, rights included in the Nucryst Patent Rights which may have application to, for example, the manufacture of such Product as well as other products), the Distribution Royalty applicable to the Net Sales of such Product in such country shall be reduced by [ * * * ] of the then current Distribution Royalty upon the expiration or other termination of the last of the Nucryst Patent Rights covering such Product in such country (i.e., if pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 the Distribution Royalty was [ * * * ], such Distribution Royalty in the circumstances specified in this Section 6.3.4 would be reduced to [ * * * ]).

Section 6.4 Event Milestone Payments

In consideration for Nucryst agreeing to grant S&N a license for the use in the manner specified in this Agreement of the Nucryst Technology and in addition to the royalty payments provided for in Section 6.1 and the sales milestone payments provided for in Section 6.5 of this Agreement, S&N shall pay to Nucryst Biomedical Inc., in the United States, the following milestone payments within [ * * * ] of the occurrence of the applicable event specified below:

	6.4.1		three million dollars ($3,000,000) to be paid by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ & Nephew Limited upon receipt by S&N of notice of the granting of the first [ * * * ];

	6.4.2		one million dollars ($1,000,000) to be paid by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ & Nephew Limited upon the 90 day anniversary of the first [ * * * ]. For clarification, only one such payment shall be made; and

	6.4.3		[ * * * ] to be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇ & Nephew, Inc. upon receipt of the [ * * * ] and the commercial launch and offer for Sale of the Product that is the subject of the [ * * * ].

All event milestone payments made by S&N under this Section 6.4 are non-refundable to S&N.

Section 6.5 Sales Milestone Payments

	6.5.1.6		[*] upon Net Sales in any four (4) consecutive calendar quarters for all Products in the Territory exceeding for the first time [*].

For clarification, each of S&N’s sales milestone payments identified in this Section 6.5 shall be made only once for the stated sales milestone triggering event. However, more than one (1) sales milestone may be achieved in a particular four consecutive quarter time period, in which case (if not previously paid) each such sales milestone payment shall be made by S&N to Nucryst. All sales milestone payments made by S&N under this Section 6.5 are non-refundable to S&N.

6.5.2

The sales milestone payments provided for in Section 6.5.1 shall be apportioned between Canada, the United States, and the remaining countries in the Territory based on the ratio that Net Sales in Canada, the United States, and the remaining countries in the Territory, as applicable, for such Products bear to Net Sales for all countries in the Territory and shall be paid in the same manner as the royalties specified in Section 6.1.

Section 6.6 Sales Report

Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the Term, S&N shall provide Nucryst with a detailed report consistent with GAAP and the accounting records and principles of S&N showing in reasonable detail on a Product-by-Product basis (unless, for the purposes of the royalty calculations in Sections 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 another basis is required in order

Section 6.7 Records and Audits

S&N will keep and maintain proper and complete records and books of account in such form and detail as is necessary for the determination of the amounts payable by S&N (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and permitted licensees and distributors) to Nucryst under this Agreement and S&N shall during normal business hours upon fifteen (15) days prior notice from Nucryst make those records available for audit by a nationally recognized accounting firm designated by Nucryst (except one to which S&N shall have objection, acting reasonably) for the sole purpose of, and S&N will only be required to disclose information related to, verifying such payments, revenues, Net Sales, Gross Profit Margins, costs, expenses and deductions and the correctness of calculations and classifications in respect thereof. S&N shall preserve such records made in any calendar year for a period of seven (7) years following the close of that calendar year. In the event that such audit discloses that the actual royalties or other amounts payable by S&N to Nucryst are greater than the royalties or other amounts paid by S&N, then S&N shall pay to Nucryst any additional royalties and other amounts based on the results disclosed by such audit plus interest as provided for in Section 6.10. In the event that such audit discloses that the actual royalties or other amounts payable by S&N to Nucryst pursuant to this Article 6 are less than the royalties or other amounts paid by S&N, then Nucryst shall reimburse S&N for any such overpayment based on the results disclosed by such audit less Nucryst’s reasonable costs of such audit. The cost of such audit shall be borne by Nucryst unless such audit discloses that the actual royalties and other amounts payable by S&N to Nucryst are greater by five percent (5%) or more than the royalties and other amounts paid by S&N, or such audit discloses that the actual royalties and other amounts payable by S&N to Nucryst are less than the royalties and other amounts paid by S&N, in which cases S&N shall be responsible for payment of all reasonable costs of such audit to a maximum of the amount of any overpayment by S&N to Nucryst due to an incorrect calculation of royalties and other amounts payable by S&N and Nucryst shall be

- 33 -

responsible for payment of all other costs of such audit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nucryst shall not have the right to conduct more than once, for the same purpose, an audit of the same information, books and records, whether under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement; provided, however that if any such audit discloses that the actual royalties or other amounts payable by S&N to Nucryst hereunder was calculated incorrectly such that a payment by S&N or a reimbursement by Nucryst is required pursuant to this Section 6.7, then Nucryst shall have a further right to audit the same information, books and records for the same purpose until such time as no further errors are found.

Section 6.8 Currency and Conversion

All payments made under this Agreement shall be in United States dollars. With respect to any payment based on Net Sales Revenue made in a currency other than U.S. dollars, S&N shall convert such Net Sales Revenue to U.S. dollars using the applicable average rate of exchange for U.S. dollars for the prior quarter quoted as local currency per US $1, published in The Financial Times (London edition).

ARTICLE 7
CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 7.1 Confidentiality

The parties to this Agreement recognize that from time to time one party may disclose to another party(ies) information which is of a confidential nature (“Confidential Information”) and it is therefore agreed that:

	7.1.1		Except as otherwise expressly authorized in writing by the discloser or specifically provided for in this Agreement, all Confidential Information of the disclosing party shall be held in strict confidence by the receiving party and the receiving party shall employ or cause to be employed diligent efforts and reasonable care in order to ensure that such Confidential Information is not made available to any third party, excepting only as required under this Agreement or to the directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants of the receiving party whose duties require disclosure of the same or as expressly authorized in writing and then (in any such case) only if the parties to whom such Confidential Information is being disclosed have given to the disclosing party an enforceable undertaking (in a form of contract used by the disclosing party in its normal course of business and that that deals with equivalently sensitive information) not to disclose such Confidential Information to any other party.

	7.1.2		Subject to Section 7.1.3, Confidential Information shall not include information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure, that the recipient can demonstrate based on written records was lawfully already in its possession, that is approved in writing for release by the discloser or that is obtained by any party to this Agreement from a third party without obligation of confidence (provided, however, that no third party from which the information is obtained has any obligation of confidence to any parties to this Agreement) or that becomes public knowledge otherwise than through the fault of the recipient or any Person to whom it has disclosed the Confidential Information.

	7.1.3		Disclosure of Confidential Information shall not be precluded if such disclosure is in response to a valid order of a court or other governmental body or of any political subdivision thereof or is otherwise required to be disclosed by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a party is required to make a disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 7.1.3, it will, except where impractical, give reasonable advance written notice to the other party of such disclosure and use reasonable commercial efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information.

	7.1.4		Confidential Information that is specific shall not be deemed to be within the public domain merely because it is embraced by general knowledge in the public domain. Further, any Confidential Information dealing with any

- 35 -

combination of features of a specific matter shall not be deemed to be within the public domain, unless the combination of features and the principle of operation are in the public domain.

	7.1.5		Each party to this Agreement shall, upon the termination of this Agreement, return all corporeal Confidential Information to the owner of such Confidential Information with a written undertaking that no copies (electronic or otherwise) have been retained, except that the receiving party may retain one (1) copy in its legal files solely to allow it to monitor its obligations hereunder.

	7.1.6		Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that the other party to this Agreement would suffer irreparable harm as a result of the breach of any of the non-disclosure and confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 7.1 and that legal remedies are inadequate; therefore, each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that, in addition to any damages and other remedies that the other party to this Agreement may be entitled to as a result of such a breach, the other party to this Agreement shall be entitled to seek an order from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining such party from breaching or continuing to breach any of the provisions of this Section 7.1.

	7.1.7		The covenants of the parties under this Section 7.1 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement by effluxion of time or otherwise.

Section 7.2 No Disclosure

Except as required by law or any applicable regulatory authority or as otherwise provided herein, the parties agree that the existence of this Agreement and the contents of this Agreement shall not be disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of the other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a party is required to make a disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 7.2, it will, except where impractical, give reasonable advance written notice to the other party of such disclosure and use reasonable commercial efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information.

Section 7.3 Press Releases

ARTICLE 8
INVENTIONS AND PATENTS

Section 8.1 Joint Improvements

All inventions, discoveries, improvements or other technology to the extent specifically applicable in the Field and all processes or uses relating thereto, which are capable of protection as proprietary intellectual property, that arise after the Original Effective Date as a result of

- 36 -

conduct under this Agreement (including the Original Agreement) (“Improvements”) made jointly by employees or others acting on behalf of Nucryst and S&N (the “Joint Improvements”) shall be jointly owned by Nucryst and S&N, each to an undivided one-half interest, and shall be managed in accordance with Section 8.6.

Section 8.2 Nucryst Improvements

Improvements made solely by employees of Nucryst in the course of their employment or others acting on behalf of Nucryst who have assigned their rights with respect thereto to Nucryst (the “Nucryst Improvements”) shall be owned solely by Nucryst and, to the extent applicable, shall be subject to the license granted to S&N in Article 2. Nucryst shall have the first right to file, prosecute, and maintain patent protection for Nucryst Improvements. If Nucryst at any time during the Term fails to file, prosecute or maintain patent protection in any jurisdiction for a Nucryst Improvement that has specific application within the Field in circumstances where S&N has agreed to develop, market and sell a Product utilizing such Nucryst Improvement and has so advised Nucryst in writing, S&N shall, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Nucryst, have the right (if Nucryst does not agree to file, prosecute or maintain such patent protection in such jurisdiction during such thirty (30) day period), on behalf of Nucryst, to file, prosecute, and maintain at S&N’s own cost, patent protection for that Nucryst Improvement in that jurisdiction and Nucryst shall cooperate with S&N with respect thereto, including the execution and delivery of any further instruments or documents and taking all such further actions and providing all such further information as S&N may reasonably request in that regard.

Section 8.3 S&N Improvements

Improvements made solely by employees or others acting on behalf of S&N (the “S&N Improvements”) shall be owned solely by S&N and may be used or practiced by S&N within and outside the Field. If any such S&N Improvement is required by Nucryst for purposes of this Agreement or the Supply Agreement or to develop, manufacture or produce Products, then S&N shall be deemed to have granted to Nucryst a fully paid, royalty free and perpetual license to use such S&N Improvement for that purpose. S&N shall have the first right to file, prosecute and maintain protection for S&N Improvements. If S&N at any time fails to file, prosecute or maintain patent protection in any jurisdiction for an S&N Improvement, Nucryst shall, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to S&N, have the right (if S&N does not agree to file, prosecute or maintain such patent protection in such jurisdiction during such thirty (30) day period), on behalf of S&N, to file, prosecute, and maintain at Nucryst’s own cost, patent protection for that S&N Improvement in that jurisdiction and S&N shall cooperate with Nucryst with respect thereto, including the execution and delivery of any further instruments or documents and taking all such further actions and providing all such further information as Nucryst may reasonably request in that regard.

Section 8.4 Determination of Inventorship

Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with the U.S. patent law rules and inventorship shall determine whether or not an Improvement is made solely by employees or others acting on behalf of Nucryst or on behalf of S&N.

Section 8.5 Invention Disclosure

Nucryst shall promptly disclose to S&N and S&N shall promptly disclose to Nucryst details of any Joint Improvements, Nucryst Improvements or S&N Improvements, as the case may be, which such party has developed and such details shall be treated as Confidential Information.

Section 8.6 Independent Use of Joint Improvements

	8.6.1		In circumstances where S&N ceases to have exclusivity pursuant to this Agreement (for Products other than Acticoat Product and Acticoat 7 Product in Canada and the United States), without the duty to account or report to S&N and without S&N’s consent, Nucryst may use any Joint Improvement that relates to the manufacture or production of any substance coated with nanocrystalline silver or the process of coating any substance with nanocrystalline silver whether such activity is within or outside the Field, provided that Nucryst shall not use any such Joint Improvement in any activity that relates to the design or configuration (e.g., combination of materials, (or processes to achieve such combination) shape, size and physical specifications) of any Product that S&N had in the commercial market or in active development when it lost its exclusivity pursuant to this Agreement, provided such design or configuration is inventive and is not trivial, obvious or in the public domain. For clarification, this proviso is not intended to stop Nucryst from simply coating a product of a competitor of S&N so long as Nucryst does not use any such design or configuration developed in collaboration with S&N as aforesaid.

	8.6.2		Without the duty to account or report to Nucryst and without Nucryst’s consent, S&N may use any Joint Improvement in relation to the design and configuration (as described and qualified in Section 8.6.1) of any Product inside or outside the Field.

Section 8.7 Prosecution and Maintenance of Joint Patents

8.7.1

Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance. S&N shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to assume, with respect to each Joint Improvement, the responsibility for filing, prosecuting and maintaining patent applications with respect to such Joint Improvements. If S&N at any time fails to file, prosecute or maintain patent protection in any jurisdiction for a Joint Improvement, Nucryst shall, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to S&N, have the right to file, prosecute and maintain patent protection for that Joint Improvement in that jurisdiction. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all reasonable costs incurred with respect to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications and patents covering Joint Improvements, including fees and expenses of patent counsel, shall be borne equally by the parties. Notwithstanding that one party may be delegated responsibility for filing, prosecuting and maintaining patent applications with respect to a particular Joint Improvement, the other party must approve in writing the taking of any

- 38 -

material action with respect thereto including without limitation approving any patent application prior to filing. Both Nucryst and S&N shall have the right to participate fully in the formation and implementation of patent strategies for such Joint Improvements. Failing agreement, S&N shall have the right to conduct the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any such patents or patent applications (and any material action in relation thereto) at its own cost.

8.7.2

Cooperation. Each party shall make available to the other party or its authorized attorneys, agents or representatives, its employees, agents or consultants necessary or appropriate to enable the appropriate party to file, prosecute and maintain patent applications and resulting patents with respect to all Joint Improvements, for a period of time sufficient for such party to obtain the assistance it needs from such personnel. All reasonable costs incurred by either party in providing such cooperation shall be shared by the parties as provided in Section 8.7.1.

Section 8.8 No Waiver

For the avoidance of doubt, by entering into this Agreement, and subject to the licenses granted in this Agreement, neither party waives or forfeits any of its rights to any intellectual property that it owns and that exists at or after the Original Effective Date.

ARTICLE 9
PATENT INFRINGEMENT

Section 9.1 Infringement by Third parties

	9.1.1		Notification. If either party becomes aware of any facts that indicate the likelihood that any intellectual property in any Product, Acticoat Trade-▇▇▇▇, Nanocrystalline Marks, or Joint Improvement is being infringed by any Person, or if any Person wrongfully engages in any activity in the Territory that is covered by the Nucryst Technology, that party shall inform the other party in writing of those facts in reasonable detail.

	9.1.2		Initiate Proceedings. If the perceived infringing activity relates primarily to an activity within the Field, then S&N shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to initiate, prosecute and control any action or proceeding with respect to such perceived infringement at its own cost, provided that if S&N fails to initiate proceedings and attend to remedy such infringement within ninety (90) days of receiving written notice of such infringement then Nucryst may bring and control any such action. Otherwise Nucryst shall have the primary right but not the obligation, to initiate, prosecute and control any action or proceeding with respect to any such infringement at its own cost, provided that if Nucryst fails to initiate proceedings or attend to remedy such infringement within ninety (90) days of receiving written notice of such infringement then S&N may bring and control any such action. In either case if one party initiates proceedings and attends to remedy such infringement then

- 39 -

it shall keep the other party informed with respect to such proceedings and shall permit the other party to participate in all material discussions concerning such proceedings and the other party shall cooperate and give reasonable assistance in this regard to the party.

	9.1.3.2		the other party for its costs relating to the action.

Any award monies remaining after such reimbursement shall be paid to the party who had primary conduct of the action, provided that if S&N is that party, then such amounts shall be deemed to be Net Sales received in the quarter in which such amount is received by S&N.

However, if both parties took primary conduct of the action, then such amount shall be divided equally between the parties.

9.1.4

Voluntary Disposition. No settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section 9.1 may be entered into by either party without the prior consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

S&N shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to control the defence and settlement of any such claim. If S&N fails to assume the control and settlement of any such claim within ninety (90) days of receiving written notice thereof, then Nucryst may control the defence and settlement of such action. The controlling party shall keep the non-controlling party fully informed with respect to all matters in relation to such claim and shall consult with the non-controlling party in relation to all material decisions concerning such claim and the defence thereof.

Section 10.3 Infringement Indemnification

In the event of any action or threatened action against S&N in which it is asserted that the Sale of any Product infringes a copyright, patent, or other industrial property right, S&N shall promptly notify Nucryst of such action or threatened action. If a court of competent jurisdiction upholds the infringement action in a judgment that has become incapable of appeal, or if an injunction has been granted, Nucryst shall use reasonable commercial efforts to:

	10.3.1		procure the right for S&N to continue Selling the allegedly infringing Product; or

	10.3.2		replace or modify the Product, as the case may be, so that it becomes non- infringing but has substantially equivalent capabilities as the infringing technology.

Without limiting or waiving, in any respect, any rights or remedies of S&N or any Affiliate of S&N in any other Section of this Agreement, if as a result of an infringement claim in relation to the Products other than New Products or solely to the Nucryst Technology incorporated into any New Product, then (a) S&N is required to pay any damages it shall be entitled to recover such damages from Nucryst, or (b) S&N is required to pay any royalty to the claimant for ongoing rights to permit continued sale of the Product, S&N shall be entitled to deduct such damages or royalties from the amount payable to Nucryst under this Agreement (including the Original Agreement), this, in addition to any application of Section 6.3, being the sole remedy for recovery of such damages or royalties unless Nucryst has breached any representation given to S&N in Section 12.7.1 in respect of the said infringement.

Section 10.4 Procedure

The indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party(ies) of any suits, claims or demands by third parties (“Claim”) which may give rise to any loss for which indemnification may be required under this Article 10, provided, however that failure to give such notice shall not impair the obligation of the indemnifying party to provide indemnification hereunder except if and to the extent that such failure materially impairs the ability of the indemnifying party to defend the Claim. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the control, defence and settlement of any Claim or demand of any third party at its own cost and expense; provided, however, that the other party shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel at its own cost in such matters. In the event that the indemnifying party shall decline to assume control of any such Claim, the party entitled to indemnification shall be entitled to assume such defence of, and settle such Claim, all at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying party. Neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall settle or dispose of any such matter in any manner which would adversely impact the rights and interests of the other party without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each party shall cooperate with the other party and its counsel in the course of the defence of any such Claim, such cooperation to include using reasonable efforts to provide or make available documents, information and witnesses.

Section 13.5 Assignment

The Parties agree that this Agreement, (except for assignment by Nucryst pursuant to Sections 13.6 or 13.7 which S&N shall be deemed to have consented to, assignments by S&N as a part of the disposition by S&N of all or substantially all of its wound care business and the assignment by a party to one or more of its Affiliates, which may be done without consent provided the party remains responsible to the other party for the performance of this Agreement by its Affiliate) may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligations hereunder be assigned or transferred directly or indirectly by either party, whether voluntary, by operation of law or otherwise, without the written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In connection with Nucryst determining whether to consent to an assignment, the parties agree that Nucryst shall be deemed to be acting reasonably if it withholds its consent in circumstances where the proposed assignee is not a corporation of equal or greater financial resources, marketing strength and expertise (including in the burn and wound care area), and stature in the ▇▇▇▇▇ and wounds industry as S&N. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 13.5 shall be void. Any permitted assignee (which includes assignments by Nucryst pursuant to Sections 13.6 or 13.7 and assignments by S&N as a part of the disposition by S&N of all or substantially all of its wound care business, but excludes assignments to Affiliates without consent) shall assume all obligations of the assignor under this Agreement and the assignor shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement other than the obligations set out in Sections 13.6 and 13.7 and the assignor shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement, from the date of such assignment. For clarification, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict in any manner whatsoever the ability to transfer shares in the capital of Nucryst and its Affiliates, issue shares in the capital of Nucryst or its Affiliates or to otherwise effect a change of control of Nucryst or one or more of its Affiliates.

Section 13.6 Right of First Offer

If Nucryst desires to sell assets that include all or substantially all of the Nucryst Technology in each case, including without limitation assignment of this Agreement (the “Technology Assets”), Nucryst shall give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to S&N of that desire. The Transfer Notice shall describe the Technology Assets in sufficient detail to permit S&N to make an informed decision regarding whether to offer to purchase the Technology Assets and on what terms. During the [***] (the “Negotiation Period”) immediately following the date the Transfer Notice is given, Nucryst and S&N shall in good faith negotiate the sale and purchase of the Technology Assets by Nucryst to S&N. If during the Negotiation Period S&N determines that it is not interested in purchasing the Nucryst Technology, it shall forthwith advise Nucryst of such determination in writing, and Nucryst shall be free to sell the Technology Assets to any other Person on any terms at any time, and the provision of this Section 13.6 shall have no further application. If during the Negotiation Period Nucryst and S&N reach an agreement concerning the sale and purchase of the Technology Assets and such sale and purchase transaction is completed, the provisions of this Section 13.6 shall have no further application. If Nucryst and S&N fail to reach an agreement during the Negotiation Period concerning the sale and purchase of the Technology Assets, S&N shall be entitled at any time prior to the expiry of the Negotiation Period to make an offer (the “S&N Offer”) to purchase the Technology Assets, which offer shall be maintained in confidence by Nucryst. If S&N does not make the S&N Offer by the expiry of the Negotiation Period, Nucryst shall be free to sell the

- 51 -

Technology Assets to any other person on any terms at any time, and the provisions of this Section 13.6 shall have no further application. The S&N Offer shall be in writing and shall indicate the offered price (“S&N Purchase Price”) for the purchase of the Technology Assets and the proposed terms (“S&N Purchase Terms”) for such purchase. The S&N Offer shall be capable of acceptance by Nucryst for a period (the “Transfer Period”) ending no earlier than 11:59 p.m. Calgary time on the [***] following the expiry of the Negotiation Period. The S&N Offer shall specify a closing date (the “Transfer Closing Date”) for the sale and purchase, which shall not be earlier than [***] or more than [***] after the date the S&N Offer is accepted. The S&N Purchase Price shall be paid in cash by S&N on the Transfer Closing Date. During the Transfer Period, Nucryst shall have the option of either selling the Technology Assets to S&N pursuant to the S&N Offer or selling the Technology Assets to a third party on terms no less favourable than the terms of the S&N Offer, having regard for both the S&N Purchase Price and the S&N Purchase Terms. During the [***] period (the “Free Transfer Period”) following the later of the expiry of the Transfer Period, or the date it determined that the sale pursuant to an accepted S&N Offer will not close for any reason other than the default of Nucryst, Nucryst shall be entitled to sell the Technology Assets to a third party on terms no less favourable than the terms of the S&N Offer, having regard for both the S&N Purchase Price and the S&N Purchase Terms. Any transfer of the Technology Assets made after the last day of a Free Transfer Period, other than where S&N did not deliver the S&N Offer, without strict compliance with the terms, provisions and conditions of this Section 13.6 and the other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, shall be null, void and of no force or effect. The provisions of this Section 13.6 shall not apply to the transfer of the Technology Assets to a transferee that is an Affiliate of Nucryst; provided that the Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 13.6. Any assignment of this Agreement to a third party as a part of the transfer of the Technology Assets pursuant to this Section 13.6, whether as a result of S&N not making the S&N Offer by the expiry of the Negotiation Period or as a result of Nucryst selling the Technology Assets to a third party during the Free Transfer Period on terms no less favourable than the S&N Offer, shall be considered an assignment to a permitted assignee for purposes of Section 13.5.

Section 13.7 Right of First Refusal

If Nucryst receives from a competitor of S&N in the wound care market a bona fide offer (“Qualifying Offer”) to purchase the Technology Assets and Nucryst desires to accept the Qualifying Offer, Nucryst shall give written notice (the “First Refusal Transfer Notice”) to S&N of that desire. The First Refusal Transfer Notice shall describe the Technology Assets and the proposed price (“Offered Purchase Price”) for the sale of the Technology Assets and the proposed terms (“Offered Purchase Terms”) for such sale as set forth in the Qualifying Offer. Nucryst shall not be obligated to provide to S&N a copy of the Qualifying Offer or disclose the name of the competitor of S&N that made the Qualifying Offer. S&N shall have the option (the “Purchase Option”) to purchase all of the Technology Assets for the Offered Purchase Price and on the Offered Purchase Terms. The Purchase Option shall be and remain irrevocable for a period (the “First Refusal Transfer Period”) ending on the earlier of (i) 11:59 p.m. Calgary time on the [***] following the date the First Refusal Transfer Notice is given by Nucryst to S&N; and (ii) 11:59 p.m. Calgary time on the business day prior to the day the Qualifying Offer expires pursuant to its terms. S&N may elect to exercise the Purchase Option by giving written notice of its election to Nucryst, which exercise shall be maintained in confidence by Nucryst. If S&N

- 52 -

elects to exercise the Purchase Option, S&N’s notice of election shall fix a closing date (the “First Refusal Transfer Closing Date”) for the purchase of the Technology Assets, which shall not be later than the business day prior to the expiry of the Qualifying Offer. The Offered Purchase Price shall be paid in cash by S&N on the First Refusal Transfer Closing Date. If S&N does not exercise the Purchase Option or if the Purchase Option is exercised but the transition does not close by the expiry of the First Refusal Transfer Period for any reason other than the default of Nucryst, Nucryst shall be permitted to accept the Qualifying Offer or another offer on substantially similar or better terms at any time during the period ending [***] (the “First Refusal Free Transfer Period”) after the expiry of the First Refusal Transfer Period. If Nucryst does not transfer the Technology Assets pursuant to the Qualifying Offer or another offer on substantially similar or better terms within a First Refusal Free Transfer Period, Nucryst’s right to transfer the Technology Assets pursuant to this Section 13.7 shall cease and terminate. Any transfer of the Technology Assets made after the last day of the First Refusal Free Transfer Period without strict compliance with the terms, provisions and conditions of this Section 13.7 and the other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, shall be null, void and of no force or effect. Any assignment of this Agreement to a third party as part of the transfer of the Technology Assets pursuant to this Section 13.7, whether as a result of S&N not exercising the Purchase Option or as a result of S&N exercising the Purchase Option but the transaction not closing by the expiry of the First Refusal Transfer Period for any reason other than the default of Nucryst, shall be considered an assignment to a permitted assignee for purposes of Section 13.5.

Section 13.8 Consents

In this Agreement where the consent of a party is required, S&N shall be deemed to be one party and Nucryst shall be deemed to be one party. The execution of a consent by any entity comprising part of S&N shall be deemed to be the consent of S&N and consent by any entity comprising part of Nucryst shall be deemed to be the consent of Nucryst.

Section 13.9 Limitation

The maximum aggregate liability of Nucryst under the Supply Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, this Agreement (including the Original Agreement) and all other agreements and documents referred therein shall at no time exceed [***]. Neither party shall have any liability to the other party or any other Person pursuant to this Agreement for any special, indirect or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of business opportunities or loss of business investment.

Section 13.10 Survival

The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement (as it amends and restates the Original Agreement), in the Schedules annexed to this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered or given pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect (the “Survival Period”) for the applicable limitation period specified under Alberta law as at the Original Effective Date, except for any representation and warranty in

SCHEDULE C

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

•		S&N will commit to a latest launch of Acticoat and Acticoat 7 to the core sales force in Jan 2003 at the annual business meeting, although based on priorities this may be pulled forward. In the interim, as soon as practical after closing, the chronic wound market will be developed through a focused marketing campaign to develop awareness and interest in the dual concepts of topical anti-microbial treatment of wound to lower bacterial burden and remove a potential barrier to healing, alongside the power of nanocrystalline silver in providing the optimal wound bed for healing. This focused marketing campaign will include personal selling by S&N’s Regional Area Managers (RAM) and any Transferred Employees that become part of the RAM organisation and include non personal selling such as journal advertisements and promotion at major wound care meetings routinely attended by S&N. Additionally, in preparation for the full launch, S&N will begin a scientific education program with their existing educational expertise and appropriate clinical opinion leaders. A similar campaign will occur in Canada.

•		S&N will, as soon as practical after the Effective Date, launch Acticoat into a limited number of countries (U.K., Ireland and the Scandinavian countries) within the EU and to other countries outside the EU, subject to obtaining appropriate regulatory approvals outside the EU, with a target date of September 12, 2001 (European ▇▇▇▇▇ Association meeting) and promoted specifically to the ▇▇▇▇▇ market and under the Class IIb classification and with the limited claims available.

•		S&N plans to roll out the product to the remaining countries in EU in Ql 2002.

•		As soon as practical after receipt of the Class III Approval, S&N will launch Acticoat and/or Acticoat 7 for chronic wound care indications.
