such action, including whether to initiate any legal proceeding and/or the settlement thereof, shall solely be under the control of Kinex; provided that Kinex shall not settle any such claim or proceeding in a manner that materially adversely affects PharmaEssentia’s rights under this Agreement or which results in any material monetary payment by or financial loss to PharmaEssentia, without PharmaEssentia’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Kinex shall pay for all costs and expenses incurred in such defense. In addition, Kinex shall pay all damages awarded or settlement payments made (including future royalty or similar payments) to such Third Party.

(c) If Kinex elects not to defend an infringement action in any country in the Territory as provided in Section 6.4(b), and PharmaEssentia elects to do so, which election shall be subject to the prior written consent of Kinex, the cost of any agreed-upon course of action, including the costs of any legal action commenced or any infringement action defended, shall be borne solely by PharmaEssentia, provided, however, that PharmaEssentia shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any claim without the prior written consent of Kinex, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) For any such legal action or defense, in the event that any Party is unable to initiate, prosecute, or defend such action solely in its own name, the other Party will join such action voluntarily and will execute all documents necessary for the Party to prosecute, defend and maintain such action. In connection with any such action, the Parties will cooperate fully and will provide each other with any information or assistance that either reasonably may request.

(e) Kinex shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, either directly or through its Affiliates or licensees to defend any action related to the intellectual property rights outside the Territory of any Third Party or to initiate and prosecute legal action outside the Territory related to the intellectual property rights of any Third Party in the name of

PharmaEssentia and/or Kinex. PharmaEssentia shall render, at its expense, all assistance reasonably requested in connection with any action taken by Kinex. However, the control of such action, including whether to initiate any legal proceeding and/or the settlement thereof, shall solely be under the control of Kinex.

6.5 Patent Term Extensions. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in obtaining patent term extensions or restorations or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in any country in the Territory where applicable and where desired by PhammEssentia. Elections with respect to obtaining such extension or supplemental protection certificates shall be made in the same manner and with the same relative priorities between the Parties as is applicable to the prosecution and maintenance of Patent Rights pursuant to Section 6.2.

6.6 Patent Marking. PharmaEssentia shall ▇▇▇▇, and shall require its Affiliates and sublicensees to ▇▇▇▇, all Licensed Products sold or distributed pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the applicable patent statutes or regulations in the country or countries of manufacture and/or sale thereof.

6.7 Third Party Agreements. (a) If any licensee of the Compounds from Kinex (“Third Party Licensee”) develops a pharmaceutical preparation in final form (“Third Party Drug”) that is (i) delivered through oral dosing, (ii) contains either of the Compounds as an active pharmaceutical ingredient, (iii) is approved for use in any country in the Territory for indications other than psoriasis, and (iv) is offered for sale as a treatment for psoriasis which is outside the scope of Regulatory Approval and outside the Third Party Licensee’s field of use for the Compounds under its license with Kinex (“Off Label Sales”), Kinex shall have the first right, either directly or through its Affiliates, to initiate and prosecute legal action in the Territory at its own expense and in the name of Kinex to prevent Off Label Sales of the Third Party Drug for psoriasis in the Territory, or to control the defense of any declaratory judgment action in the Territory relating to the Third Party Licensee’s field of use under its license with Kinex, and

Kinex shall provide PharmaEssentia with reasonable notice of any such action it commences and keep PharmaEssentia reasonably informed of any significant developments in such action. PharmaEssentia shall render, at its expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), all assistance reasonably requested in connection with any such action taken by Kinex. However, the control of such action, including whether to initiate any legal proceeding and/or the settlement thereof, shall solely be under the control of Kinex; provided that Kinex shall not settle any such claim or proceeding in a manner that materially adversely affects PharmaEssentia’s rights under this Agreement or which results in any material monetary payment by or financial loss to PharmaEssentia, without the prior written consent of PharmaEssentia, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) If Kinex elects not to initiate and prosecute an action to prevent Off Label Sales of a Third Party Drug for psoriasis, or defend a declaratory judgment action in any country in the Territory as provided in Section 6.7(a) within sixty (60) days after having become aware of such Off Label Sales for the treatment of psoriasis by the Third Party Licensee, then PharmaEssentia may elect, which election shall be subject to the prior written consent of Kinex to take such action in the Territory that is reasonably necessary and appropriate to prevent such sales by the Third Party Licensee by instituting a proceeding to enforce the limitations of the field of use contained in the license between Kinex and the Third Party Licensee, provided, however, that PharmaEssentia shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any claim or which results in any material monetary payment by or financial loss to Kinex or termination of its license with the Third Party Licensee, without Kinex’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) For any legal action or defense contemplated by this Section 6.7, in the event that any Party is unable to initiate, prosecute, or defend such action solely in its own name, the other Party will join such action voluntarily and will execute all documents necessary for the

In connection with any such action, the Parties will cooperate fully and will provide each other with any information or assistance that either reasonably may request. Any recovery or award obtained by either Party as a result of any action or settlement commenced with respect to infringement within the Territory shall be shared as follows:

(iii) if Kinex initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action, the amount of any recovery remaining then shall be shared 30% to Kinex and 70% to PhannaEssentia; and

(iv) if PharmaEssentia initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action, the amount of any recovery remaining then shall be shared 10% to Kinex and 90% to PharmaEssentia.

(d) Certain Disclosures. Except as set forth in this Agreement or as required by law, neither Party shall make any press release or other public announcement or other public disclosure to a Third Party concerning the existence of or terms of this Agreement, the subject matter of this Agreement or the activities contemplated hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall include agreement upon the nature and text of such release, announcement or other disclosure and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each Party agrees to provide to the other Party a copy of any such press release or other public announcement or disclosure as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances prior to its scheduled release. Each Party shall have the right to expeditiously (but in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) review and recommend changes to any such press release or other public announcement or disclosure; provided, however, that such right of review and recommendation shall only apply for the first time that specific information is to be disclosed, and shall not apply to the subsequent disclosure of substantially similar information that has previously been disclosed unless there have been material developments relating to Licensed Product since the date of the previous disclosure; provided, further, that each Party shall provide to the other Party reasonable advance notice of any such subsequent disclosure. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, it is understood that the Parties or their Affiliates may make disclosure of this Agreement and the terms hereof in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, other governmental authority, or securities exchange, may file this Agreement as an exhibit to any filing with the SEC, other governmental authority, or securities

ARTICLE 8

TERM AND TERMINATION

8.1 Term and Expiration. This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties as of the Effective Date. Thereafter, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 8.2 below, this Agreement shall extend for a period which may expire on a country by country basis upon the earliest to occur of either (i) the expiration of the Kinex Patent Rights or (ii) invalidation of the Kinex Patent Rights (the “Agreement Term”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of (i) or (ii) above, the Agreement Term shall automatically be extended for consecutive one (1) year periods subject to the same terms and conditions set forth herein (unless agreed otherwise) unless either Party gives written notice of its intention not to extend the Agreement Term: (i) at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date of the Kinex Patent Rights; or (ii) as soon as practically possible in the case of an invalidation claim; and (iii) thereafter, at least ninety (90) days prior to the then current annual expiration date of the Agreement.

8.2 Early Termination of Agreement Term.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated upon mutual agreement of the Parties.

(b) Termination by PharmaEssentia.

PharmaEssentia may terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion upon not less than six (6) months prior written notice of termination provided anytime after the Effective Date (provided, however, that no such termination shall be effective until the completion of any then Ongoing Clinical Studies).

Execution Copy

Either Party may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it under this Agreement or at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement prior to expiration of the Agreement Term in the event that the other Party (as used in this subsection, the “Breaching Party”) shall have materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its material obligations hereunder, and has not cured such breach within (i) thirty (30) days after notice of such breach is provided to the Breaching Party in case the breach is a non-payment of any amount due under this Agreement that is not being disputed in good faith (which shall be deemed a material breach of a material obligation) and (ii) sixty (60) days after notice of such breach is provided to the Breaching Party for other cases of breach (or, if such default cannot be cured within such 60-day period, if the Breaching Party does not commence and diligently continue actions to cure such default during such 60-day period). The termination shall become effective at the end of the (i) 30-day period in case the breach is a non-payment of any amount due under this Agreement that is not being disputed in good faith if the Breaching Party has not cured such breach by such date, or (ii) for other cases of breach, 60-day period unless (a) the Breaching Party cures such breach during such 60-day period, or (b) if such breach is not susceptible to cure within such 60-day period, the Breaching Party has commenced and is diligently pursuing a cure (unless such breach, by its nature, is incurable, in which case the Agreement may not be terminated unless the Breaching Party fails to use its best commercially reasonable efforts to prevent a similar subsequent breach). The right of either Kinex or PharmaEssentia to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 8.2(c) shall not be affected in any way by such Party’s waiver or failure to take action with respect to any previous breach or default.

8.3 Effect of Expiration or Termination; Survival.

(a) Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination, including all accrued payment obligations arising under Article 4 hereof. In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement

which by their terms continue after the expiration of this Agreement, the provisions of Article 3.2(f), 4.3(b), 7 and 9 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and shall continue in effect after the date of expiration or termination for the longer of (i) five (5) years after the last sale of Licensed Product in the Territory, or (ii) the respective periods specified therein. In addition, any other provisions required interpreting and enforcing the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement shall also survive, but only to the extent required for the full observation and performance of this Agreement. Any expiration or early termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to the rights of any Party against the other accrued or accruing under this Agreement prior to termination. Except as expressly set forth herein, the rights to terminate as set forth herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available under this Agreement, at law, or in equity, or otherwise.

(b) Payments of amounts owing to Kinex under this Agreement as of its expiration or termination shall be due and payable either (i) to the extent such amounts can be calculated and a fixed sum determined at the time of expiration or termination of this Agreement, thirty (30) days after the date of such expiration or termination, or (ii) to the extent such amounts cannot be calculated and a fixed sum determined at the time of expiration or termination of this Agreement, thirty (30) days after the date at which such amounts can be calculated and a fixed sum determined.

(c) Subject to the payment of all amounts required hereunder, PharmaEssentia and its Affiliates shall have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of the stock of any Licensed Product subject to this Agreement on hand or in process of manufacture as of the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, PharmaEssentia shall notify Kinex of the amount of Licensed Product PharmaEssentia, its Affiliates and sublicensees then have on hand or in the process of manufacture and shall have the right to sell in the Territory (except with respect to any country in

Kinex hereby grants a non-exclusive license under the Kinex Intellectual Property to PharmaEssentia solely to sell such Licensed Product in the Territory, subject to payment of all related amounts due under this Agreement. Any remaining quantities of Licensed Product not sold during this period shall, at Kinex’s election, either be destroyed by PharmaEssentia at PharmaEssentia’s cost or sold to Kinex at PharmaEssentia’s procurement cost for such Licensed Product.

(d) Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the following shall also be applicable: (i) at Kinex’s request, PharmaEssentia shall promptly transfer and return to Kinex copies of all Data, reports, records and materials in PharmaEssentia’s possession or control that relate to Compound or Licensed Products and return to Kinex all relevant records and materials in PharmaEssentia’s possession or control containing Proprietary Information of Kinex (provided that PharmaEssentia may keep one copy of such Proprietary Information of Kinex for archival purposes only); (ii) PharmaEssentia shall transfer to Kinex all right, title and interest in and Control over all Intellectual Property owned and Controlled of PharmaEssentia and arising from inventions during the Agreement Term as described in Section 6.1(a) (ii) of this Agreement, (iii) PharmaEssentia shall transfer to Kinex any and all INDs, Regulatory Approvals, Drug Approval Applications and any other regulatory filings or submissions made or filed for Licensed Product by PhannaEssentia or its designees; and (iv) Kinex shall promptly return to PharmaEssentia all relevant records and materials in Kinex’s possession or control containing Proprietary Information of PharmaEssentia (provided that Kinex may keep one copy of such Proprietary Information of PharmaEssentia for archival purposes only).

ARTICLE 9

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

9.1 Indemnity. For purposes of this Article 9, “Kinex Indemnified Parties” refers to Kinex, its Affiliates and the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and successors and assigns of Kinex and its Affiliates, and “PharmaEssentia Indemnified Parties” refers to PharmaEssentia, its Affiliates and officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and successors and assigns of PharmaEssentia and its Affiliates.

9.2 PharmaEssentia Indemnification. PharmaEssentia shall defend the Kinex Indemnified Parties from and against all suits, claims, actions, demands, complaints, lawsuits or other proceedings, (collectively, “Claims”), that are brought by a Third Party, and shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Kinex Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses, that arise out of or are attributable to, (i) PharmaEssentia’s negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in exercising or performing any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) a material breach by PharmaEssentia of any of its obligations, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement; provided, however, that PharmaEssentia shall not be obligated under this Section 9.2, to the extent it is shown by evidence acceptable in a court of law having jurisdiction over the subject matter and meeting the appropriate degree of proof for such Claim that the Claim arose out of the negligence or wrongdoing on the part of Kinex.

9.3 Kinex Indemnification. Kinex shall defend the PharmaEssentia Indemnified Parties from and against all Claims, in each case that are brought by a Third Party, and shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the PharmaEssentia Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses that arise out of such Claims that are attributable to, (i) Kinex’s negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in exercising or performing any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) a material breach by

Kinex of any of its obligations, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement; provided, however, that Kinex shall not be obligated under this Section 9.3, to the extent it is shown by evidence acceptable in a court of law having jurisdiction over the subject matter and meeting the appropriate degree of proof for such Claim that the Claim arose out of the negligence or wrongdoing on the part of PharmaEssentia.

9.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any Claim. Concurrent with the provision of notice pursuant to this Section 9.4(a), the Indemnified Party shall provide to the other Party copies of any complaint, summons, subpoena or other court filings or correspondence related to such Claim and will give such other information with respect thereto as the other Party shall reasonably request. The Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall meet to discuss how to respond to such Claim. Failure to provide prompt notice shall not relieve any Party of the duty to defend or indemnify unless such failure materially prejudices the defense of any matter. Each Party agrees that it will take reasonable steps to minimize the burdens of the litigation on witnesses and on the ongoing business of the Indemnified Parties including making reasonable accommodations to witnesses’ schedules when possible and seeking appropriate protective orders limiting the duration and/or location of depositions.

(b) Should either Party dispute that any Claim or portion of a Claim (“Disputed Claim”) of which it receives notice pursuant to Section 9.4(a), is an indemnified Claim, it shall so notify the other Party providing written notice in sufficient time to permit such other Party to retain counsel and timely appear, answer and/or move in any such action. In such event, such other Party shall defend against such Claim; provided, however, that such other Party shall not settle any Claim which it contends is an indemnified Claim without providing the Indemnifying Party ten (10) Business Days’ notice prior to any such settlement and an opportunity to assume the defense and indemnification of such Claim pursuant to this

Agreement. If it is determined that a Disputed Claim is subject to indemnification, the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, of the Indemnified Party.

9.5 Settlement of Indemnified Claims. The Indemnifying Party under Sections 9.2 or 9.3, as applicable, shall have the sole authority to settle any Indemnified Claim without the consent of the other Party, provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the other Party, as part of any settlement or compromise (i) admit to liability on the part of the other Party; (ii) agree to an injunction against the other Party; or (iii) settle any matter in a manner that separately apportions fault to the other Party. The Parties further agree that as part of the settlement of any Indemnified Claim, an Indemnifying Party shall obtain a full, complete and unconditional release from the claimant on behalf of the Indemnified Parties.

9.6 Insurance.

(a) PharmaEssentia shall maintain in the Territory, commencing as of the Effective Date, commercial general liability insurance (including coverage for product liability, contractual liability, bodily injury, property damage and personal injury), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party, with minimum limits of $5,000,000 per occurrence or, in case of Clinical Studies, $5,000,000 per occurrence during the period when such Clinical Studies are being conducted (the “Insurance”). If such Insurance is written on a claims-made form, it shall continue for three (3) years following the last sale of Licensed Product by PharmaEssentia. The Insurance shall have retroactive date to or coinciding with the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PharmaEssentia may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to the Insurance through self-insurance.

(b) Such Insurance shall insure against all liability arising out of the manufacture, use, sale, distribution, or marketing of Licensed Product in and for the Territory.

Upon request PharmaEssentia shall provide certificates of insurance to Kinex evidencing the coverage specified herein.

(c) Except as expressly stated herein, a Party’s liability to the other is in no way limited to the extent of the Party’s insurance coverage.

(d) The Insurance shall contain an explicit clause, stating that each Party and its insurer waive their rights of subrogation against the other Party and its directors, employees and/or any one on its behalf with respect to the Insurance. Such waiver shall not apply in the event of a malicious act.

(e) The Insurance shall be primary to any other insurance maintained by each Party and each Party hereby waives any claim or demand as to participation in any such other insurance.

(f) The Insurance shall be valid in any location worldwide regarding the activities performed by each Party hereunder (including worldwide jurisdictions) for any destination or lawsuit which will be served against the other Party.

9.7 Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS OR GOODWILL) SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SUCH OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, WHETHER BASED UPON A CLAIM OR ACTION OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

10.6 Further Assurances. Each of the Parties shall take such further actions as shall be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the respective rights and obligations hereunder.

10.7 Applicable Law, Venue and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Except as provide in Section 10.5, with regard to actions of specific performance, all disputes which arise in connection with this Agreement and its interpretation shall be settled amicably between the Parties. If the dispute cannot be settled in an amicable manner, it will be settled by arbitration to be held in Hong Kong in conformity with commercial arbitration rules of the International Chamber of Commerce. The award rendered by arbitration shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto.

10.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules hereto, contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter. All express or implied agreements and understandings, either oral or written, heretofore made, including any offering letters, letters of intent, or term sheets, are expressly superseded by this Agreement.

Execution Copy

10.9 Independent Contractors. It is expressly agreed that the Parties shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither Party shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other Party, without the prior consent of such other Party.

10.10 Waiver. The waiver by a Party hereto of any right hereunder or the failure to perform or of a breach by another Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

10.11 Headings; References. The captions to the several Articles and Sections hereof are not a part of the Agreement, but are merely guides or labels to assist in locating and reading the several Articles and Sections hereof. Any reference in this Agreement to an Article, Exhibit, Schedule or Section shall, unless otherwise specifically provided, be to an Article, Exhibit, Schedule or Section of this Agreement. The words “including”, “includes” and “such as” are used in their non-limiting sense and have the same meaning as “including without limitation” and “including but not limited to.” “Hereunder” and “hereto” means under or pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

10.12 Interpretation. Both Parties have had the opportunity to have this Agreement reviewed by an attorney; therefore, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be construed against the drafter of this Agreement.

10.13 Counterparts. The Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures to the Agreement transmitted by fax, by email in “portable document format” (“.pdf) or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of the Agreement shall have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing an original signature.
