1.00 The United States of America is the owner by assignment of the entire right, title and interest to inventions described and claimed in U.S. Patent Application Serial Number 08/749,164, issued as U.S. Patent Number 5,910,306 on June 8, 1999, which pertains to “Transdermal Delivery System for Antigen,” and all foreign-filed patent applications, based on, or related thereto. The invention described in U.S. Patent No. 5,910,306 is a result of work performed under the terms of the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, Department of the Army Control Number 9611-M-C945, U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command Control Number DAMD 17-97-0007 (as modified by that certain Notice of Modification made effective on October 24, 1997, hereinafter referred to as the “First MTPPI CRADA” and thereafter superseded, restated and amended in its entirety by that certain Notice of Modification II made effective on April 6, 2001, hereinafter referred to as the “Second MTPPI CRADA”) between Licensor and Medical Technology and Practice Patterns Institute (“MTPPI”), a corporation of the District of Columbia. Such invention was made by Licensor employees and is a “Subject Invention” as defined in the First MTPPI CRADA.
1.01 Licensor, under the authority of 15 United States Code 3701 et seq., 35 United States Code Sections 200 — 210, and 37 Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter IV (together with any amendments and the underlying rules and regulations hereafter promulgated collectively, the “Federal Technology Transfer Act” or the “FTTA”), entered into a license agreement dated December 15, 1997 (Army Control Number 9802-M-P196) with MTPPI (the “1997 License Agreement”).
1.02 Subject to the FTTA, Licensor, Licensee and MTPPI entered a “Novation Agreement”, effective April 22, 1999, wherein MTPPI assigned to Licensee all of its right, title and interest in and to the 1997 License Agreement and Licensee agreed to be bound and perform as required under the 1997 License Agreement, as if the Licensee were the original party thereto. As of the Effective Date, the 1997 License Agreement shall be terminated, canceled and deemed to be null and void and this Agreement shall supersede and replace in its entirety the 1997 License Agreement; it being further agreed and acknowledged that any and all inventions and technology under the 1997 License Agreement as well as each and every Subject Invention which arose under the First MTPPI CRADA and prior to the effective date of the Second MTPPI CRADA shall now and hereinafter be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1.03 Licensor and Licensee have commenced certain collaborative work that will be subject to another Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (the “Iomai CRADA”), which, upon execution, will be identified and attached as Appendix A to this Agreement. The Iomai CRADA provides for the collaboration of Licensor and Licensee in research and development on formulation of a transcutaneous vaccine system and other novel vaccines.
1.04 The parties hereto now desire to amend and restate the terms of Licensee’s exclusive license to the Licensed Patent Technology, which includes inventions conceived and generated under both the First MTPPI CRADA and the Iomai CRADA.

1.05 Under the authority of the FTTA, Licensor has custody of inventions described and claimed in, and the right to issue licenses under the Licensed Patent Technology.
1.06 Licensor desires that the inventions described and claimed in the Licensed Patent Technology be brought to the Point of Practical Application as soon as practicable, consistent with sound and reasonable business practices and judgment, and made available to the public, thereby serving the public interest and broadening the potential supply base for Licensor and other Government agencies.
     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, including the above-cited patent licensing statutes and the mutual promises and obligations hereinafter set forth, Licensor and Licensee, intending to be lawfully bound, do hereby agree as set forth below.

Any recovery by Licensee, through court, judgment or settlement, first shall be applied [**].
9 04 Licensor shall cooperate fully with Licensee in connection with any action under Section 9.01 and Section 9.06. Licensor agrees to promptly provide access to all necessary documents and to render reasonable assistance in response to a request by Licensee.

Licensee shall take no action to compel the Government either to join in any such declaratory judgment action unless such action is ultimately necessary to avoid prejudice to Licensee. Should the Government be made a party to any such suit by motion or any other action of Licensee, Licensee shall reimburse the Government for [**]. If Licensee elects not to defend against such declaratory judgment action, Licensor, at its option, may do so at its own expense.

If Licensee fails to alleviate Licensor’s concerns set forth in Section 11.01 hereof or fails to take corrective action to Licensor’s satisfaction, Licensor may terminate this Agreement. ”
11.03 The word “termination” and cognate words, such as “term” and “terminate,” used in this Article XI and elsewhere in this Agreement are to be read, except where the contrary is specifically indicated, as omitting from their effect the following rights and obligations, all of which survive any termination to the degree necessary to permit their fulfillment or discharge:
