TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT
          This TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and effective as of October 1, 2008 by and among OXiGENE, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Licensor”) and Symphony ViDA Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”).
          WHEREAS, Licensor owns or has rights in certain technology, know-how, patents and other intellectual property rights related to the design, development, manufacture and/or use of the Products;
          WHEREAS, Licensor desires to grant to Holdings, and Holdings desires to acquire, the exclusive right to use such technology, know-how, patents and other intellectual property rights to develop and commercialize Products on the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
          WHEREAS, Licensor desires to receive, and Holdings desires to grant to Licensor, the exclusive right to use such technology, know-how, patents and other intellectual property rights to develop Products on behalf of Holdings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
          Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Annex A attached hereto.
ARTICLE 2
GRANT OF RIGHTS
          2.1 License Grant. Subject to Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 below, the limitations and restrictions set forth on Schedule 2.1, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Holdings a fully paid, worldwide, exclusive license under the Licensed Intellectual Property, solely to make, have made, develop, use, offer for sale, sell, and import Products. For the avoidance of doubt, the license grant extends only to the field of the Products and/or the Programs. Licensor is free, without seeking or obtaining consent of Holdings, to license the Licensed Intellectual Property for exploitation outside the fields of the Product and/or the Programs, including, but not limited to, use of any Zybrestat Compound in any cancer treatment or therapy, other than malignant neoplastic tumors of the eye treated by via non-systemic administration of a Vascular Disrupting Agent.
          2.2 Sublicense to Licensor. Holdings hereby grants to Licensor a fully paid, worldwide, exclusive (even as to Holdings) sublicense under the Licensed
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 


 

Intellectual Property, with the right to grant further sublicense(s), solely to the extent required for Licensor to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under the Operative Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor shall only exercise its rights as sublicensee hereunder in connection with and for the purpose of carrying out Licensor’s obligations or exercising Licensor’s rights under the Operative Documents. In the event of the expiration of a Discontinuation Option without exercise by Licensor, the sublicense set forth in this Section 2.2 shall expire with respect to the Products relating to the Program to which such Discontinuation Option pertained. Upon the unexercised expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option, the sublicense set forth in this Section 2.2 shall expire with respect to all Products relating to the Program(s) for which Licensor has not exercised the Discontinuation Option.
          2.3 Right to Sublicense. Subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth on Schedule 2.1, the license granted hereunder includes the right of Holdings to grant sublicenses under the Licensed Intellectual Property, provided, that,
               (a) subject to Sections 2.2 and 2.3(b), Holdings shall not sublicense any of the rights granted pursuant to Section 2.1 to any third party (including without limitation any Affiliates) prior to the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option;
               (b) notwithstanding (a), in the event of the expiration of a Discontinuation Option without exercise by Licensor, Holdings may grant to third parties (including without limitation Affiliates) sublicenses of the rights granted pursuant to Section 2.1 with respect to the Products relating to the Program to which such Discontinuation Option pertained;
               (c) each sublicense granted (i) is pursuant to a written contract, (ii) is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) does not grant any rights beyond the scope of the license rights granted herein, and (iv) is as protective of Licensor’s rights as set forth in this Agreement; and
               (d) Holdings shall notify Licensor of the execution of any sublicense agreement, identifying the sublicensee and the scope of the sublicense, and upon Licensor’s written request, Holdings shall provide to Licensor copies of any sublicense agreements, provided that (i) Holdings may redact any financial or other proprietary information contained therein which does not affect Licensor’s rights and (ii) Licensor shall treat its copy of the sublicense agreements as Confidential Information of Holdings.
          2.4 Partial Reversion of License upon Licensor’s Exercise of Discontinuation Option.
               (a) Licensor and Holdings acknowledge that Licensor may exercise its Discontinuation Option pursuant to Section 11 of the Research and
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Development Agreement. Upon the Discontinuation Option Closing Date, as applicable, (i) the license set forth in Section 2.1 (and the corresponding sublicense under Section 2.2) shall expire with respect to the Products relating to the Program for which Licensor exercised its Discontinuation Option, as applicable, (ii) those patents, patent applications and Know-How that were part of the Licensed Intellectual Property as of the applicable Discontinuation Option Closing Date and relate exclusively to such Program (including its Products) but not to any other Program, shall be deleted from the relevant intellectual property definitions, and accordingly, Holdings shall no longer be responsible for any obligations or costs (including royalties or fees to third parties, prosecution costs, maintenance costs and enforcement costs) accruing after such Discontinuation Option Closing Date with respect to such patents, patent applications and Know-How; and (iii) Holdings shall (a) at Licensor’s request and option, promptly return to Licensor or destroy all Tangible Materials relating solely to such Program; and (b) upon Licensor’s request, provide Licensor a copy of all Tangible Materials which relate to such Program (but not solely to such Program). The Parties shall, as necessary, promptly amend this Agreement, in connection with the exercise and consummation of the Discontinuation Option pursuant to Section 11 of the Research and Development Agreement, and at Licensor’s request, Holdings shall perform such acts and execute such documents as Licensor may reasonably deem necessary or desirable, to give Licensor all rights it needs to pursue the Program for which such Discontinuation Option was exercised without any obligation to or dependency on Holdings and to limit this Agreement to the other Program.
               (b) Upon the Discontinuation Option Closing Date, Licensor and Holdings shall take all actions necessary to effect the assignment to the Licensor of the sponsorship to the Regulatory Files, if any, owned or Controlled by Holdings with respect to the Program for which the Discontinuation Option was exercised. After any such Regulatory Files are assigned to Licensor, Holdings shall have no further rights therein or obligations thereunder; provided, however, that during the [ * ] days following such assignment of Regulatory Files, at Licensor’s reasonable request and expense, Holdings shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Licensor with assistance in respect of such Regulatory Files. Holdings shall, at the reasonable request of Licensor and at Licensor’s expense, perform any acts that the Licensor may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence or confirm the Licensor’s ownership interest in such Regulatory Files, including, but not limited to, making further written assignments in a form reasonably determined by Licensor.
          2.5 IV Ophthalmology Limitation, Reservation of Rights & Restrictive Covenant.
               (a) IV Ophthalmology Limitation.
               (i) Holdings shall not conduct any IV Commercialization Activities without the consent of Licensor, provided that if Holdings requests such consent in accordance with Section 2.5(a)(iii), such consent may only be withheld in the event that Licensor believes in good faith
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

that the licensing and/or commercialization of any Zybrestat Compound for use in any cancer treatment or therapy will be benefited by prohibiting Holdings from conducting IV Commercialization Activities.
               (ii) Holdings shall, as soon as practicable, determine in good faith if it believes that the development of an IV Ophthalmology Product is commercially viable, and shall inform Licensor of its conclusion. If the conclusion is that the development of an IV Ophthalmology Product is not commercially viable, Holdings shall thereafter be prohibited from conducting any IV Commercialization Activities without regard to the balance of this Section 2.5(a).
               (iii) Holdings may only request consent as set forth in Section 2.5(a)(i), if (A) Holdings has determined that the development of an IV Ophthalmology Product is commercially viable, (B) Holdings plans in good faith to conduct IV Commercialization Activities after receiving such consent, and (C) Holdings will start to incur, within a commercially reasonable period of time following any such consent, material expense in initiating any clinical study, in accordance with the then-current and approved Development Plan, which is either (1) a pivotal registration study; or (2) provided the Non-Pivotal Requirements are met, any other clinical study related to an IV Ophthalmology Product.
               (iv) In addition, in the event that Licensor believes in good faith that the licensing and/or commercialization of any Zybrestat Compound for use in any oncology indication will be benefited by prohibiting Holdings from conducting IV Commercialization Activities, Licensor shall have the right to issue to Holdings a Non-IV Notice.
               (v) In the event Licensor issues a Non-IV Notice or denies a request for consent from Holdings made in accordance with Section 2.5(a)(iii) to conduct any IV Commercialization Activities, the provisions of the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement regarding the issuance of Non-IV Shares shall apply.
               (b) Reservation of Rights. All rights not expressly granted to a Party hereunder shall remain the exclusive property of the other Party. Holdings covenants and agrees that it will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to use or exploit the Licensed Intellectual Property outside of the scope of the licenses granted herein. For clarity, Holdings and its Affiliates shall not use or exploit the Licensed Intellectual Property for any purpose other than the development, manufacture, use, sale or importation of Products. Licensor covenants and agrees that Licensor will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, use or exploit the Licensed Intellectual Property in connection with the development, manufacture, use, sale, or importation of Products after the expiration of all sublicenses granted pursuant to Section 2.2; provided, however, that such covenant by Licensor shall not apply to any Program for which Licensor exercises a Discontinuation Option or to any Products relating to such Program. For the avoidance

of doubt, except as set forth below in Section 2.5(c), Licensor and its Affiliates shall not be restricted from using or otherwise exploiting the Licensed Intellectual Property with respect to products that are not Products and/or programs that are not Programs.
               (c) Restrictive Covenant. Except in connection with Licensor’s performance of its obligations pursuant to the Operative Documents, Licensor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, independently or in conjunction with a third party (via license or otherwise) perform research related to, develop (including, but not limited to, preclinical and clinical development), or otherwise participate in activities related to the development or commercialization of, Ophthalmology Products or Second Generation OQP Products; provided, however, that such covenant by Licensor shall not apply to any Program for which Licensor exercises a Discontinuation Option or to any Products relating to such Program. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.5(c) shall survive the unexercised expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option.
          2.6 Regulatory Files After Expiration or Termination of Term or Discontinuation Option.
               (a) As soon as reasonably practical after the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without exercise by Licensor and as of a date to be agreed upon by Licensor and Holdings, Licensor and Holdings shall, at Holdings’ expense, take all actions necessary to effect the assignment to Holdings or its designee of the sponsorship to the Regulatory Files with respect to the Programs for which Licensor has not exercised its Discontinuation Option. After such Regulatory Files are assigned to Holdings, Licensor shall have no further rights therein or obligations thereunder; provided, however, that during the [ * ] days following such assignment of Regulatory Files, at Holdings’ reasonable request and expense, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Holdings or its designee with assistance in respect of such Regulatory Files. Licensor shall, at the reasonable request of Holdings and at Holdings’ expense, perform any acts that Holdings may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence or confirm Holdings’ ownership interest in such Regulatory Files, including, but not limited to, making further written assignments in a form reasonably determined by Holdings. Without limiting the license rights granted under this ARTICLE 2, the Parties understand and agree that the assignment of such Regulatory Files does not include an assignment of any Licensed Intellectual Property.
               (b) As soon as reasonably practical after the expiration of a Discontinuation Option without exercise by Licensor and as of a date to be agreed upon by Licensor and Holdings, Licensor and Holdings shall, at Holdings’ expense, take all actions necessary to effect the assignment to Holdings or its designee of the sponsorship to the Regulatory Files with respect to the Program for which the Discontinuation Option has so expired. After such Regulatory Files are assigned to Holdings, Licensor shall have no further rights therein or obligations thereunder; provided, however, that during the [ * ] days following such assignment of Regulatory Files, at Holdings’ reasonable request and expense, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Holdings or

its designee with assistance in respect of such Regulatory Files. Licensor shall, at the reasonable request of Holdings and at Holdings’ expense, perform any acts that Holdings may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence or confirm Holdings’ ownership interest in such Regulatory Files, including, but not limited to, making further written assignments in a form reasonably determined by Holdings. Without limiting the license rights granted under this ARTICLE 2, the Parties understand and agree that the assignment of such Regulatory Files does not include an assignment of any Licensed Intellectual Property.
               (c) Right To Reference Symphony Regulatory Files. Effective upon the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option, or the expiration of the Discontinuation Option for the Ophthalmology Program without exercise by Licensor, Holdings hereby grants to Licensor a fully paid, worldwide, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to reference and otherwise have access to the Symphony Regulatory Files (including any DMF therein) solely in connection with the development and commercialization of Zybrestat Compounds for use in connection with cancer treatment or therapy (other than the treatment of neoplastic tumors of the eye treated via methods other than systemic administration of a Vascular Disrupting Agent).
               (d) Right To Reference Licensor Regulatory Files. Effective upon the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option, Licensor, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Holdings a fully paid, worldwide, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to reference and otherwise have access to the Licensor Regulatory Files, solely in connection with the development and commercialization of Ophthalmology Products. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.6(d) shall not in any way limit Holdings’ rights pursuant to Sections 2.6(a) or 2.6(b).
          2.7 Delivery of Materials After Expiration or Termination of Term.
               (a) Upon the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without exercise by Licensor, Licensor shall, at Holdings’ expense, promptly deliver to Holdings all copies of Tangible Materials existing as of the date of such unexercised expiration or termination that relate to the Programs for which Licensor has not exercised its Discontinuation Option; provided, however, that Licensor may also retain copies of (and the right to use) those Tangible Materials that are required to be delivered to Holdings hereunder but which also relate to (i) any Program for which Licensor has exercised its Discontinuation Option or (ii) any other program or product of Licensor, including without limitation, the development and commercialization of Zybrestat Compounds for use in connection with cancer treatment or therapy (other than the treatment of neoplastic tumors of the eye treated via methods other than systemic administration of a Vascular Disrupting Agent).
               (b) In the event of the expiration of a Discontinuation Option without exercise by Licensor, Licensor shall, at Holdings’ expense, promptly deliver to
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Holdings all copies of Tangible Materials existing as of the date of such expiration that relate to the Program to which the Discontinuation Option pertained; provided, however, that Licensor may also retain copies of (and the right to use) those Tangible Materials that are required to be delivered to Holdings hereunder but which also relate to (i) any other Program or (ii) any other program or product of Licensor, including without limitation, the development and commercialization of Zybrestat Compounds for use in connection with cancer treatment or therapy (other than the treatment of neoplastic tumors of the eye treated via methods other than systemic administration of a Vascular Disrupting Agent).
          2.8 License Opportunities. In the event that, during the Term, Licensor reasonably determines that it is necessary to license from any third party any intellectual property relating to the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of the Products (“Third Party IP”) and Licensor desires to license such Third Party IP during the Term, then (i) if Licensor desires Holdings to pay any or all of the financial obligations under such license, Licensor shall obtain Holdings’ written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, before acquiring such license; and (ii) if Holdings provides such consent, then unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the time such license is granted, the right to sublicense such Third Party IP to Holdings consistent with the terms of this Agreement as if such Third Party IP were Licensed Intellectual Property. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the financial obligations under any license to Third Party IP obtained by Licensor with Holdings’ consent shall (1) be borne fully by Holdings if (A) such Third Party IP relates solely to the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of the Products or (B) such license is limited in scope to the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of one or more Products, and, at the time of entering into such third party license, Licensor has not exercised its Discontinuation Option with respect to the Program to which such Third Party IP or scope of such license relates; or (2) be shared by the Parties in amounts and/or percentages to be agreed upon by the Parties prior to Licensor entering into such third party license, if such Third Party IP or scope of such license relates (but does not relate solely) to the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of Products within Program(s) for which Licensor has not exercised its Discontinuation Option and also relates to either (x) the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of Products within Program(s) for which Licensor has exercised its Discontinuation Option or (y) the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of other products of Licensor; or (3) be borne fully by Licensor if such Third Party IP or scope of such license relates solely to the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of Product(s) within a Program(s) for which Licensor has exercised its Discontinuation Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor shall have no obligation to obtain any such third party licenses under this Agreement or, in the event that Holdings does not give such consent, to grant any sublicenses to Holdings. Upon obtaining a license to such Third Party IP and the right to sublicense to Holdings, the Parties will, as necessary, promptly amend this Agreement to include such sublicensed intellectual property within
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

the license granted hereunder, incorporate any other limitations, royalties or other provisions required by such third party with respect to such sublicense, and address Holdings’ rights (if any) with respect to patent prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of patents and patent applications within such Third Party IP.
          2.9 Separate Third Party License for Discontinued Program. In the event of the expiration of a Discontinuation Option without exercise by Licensor, Holdings has the right to transfer to a third party Holdings’ rights to the Products relating to the Program to which such Discontinuation Option pertained (the “Discontinued Program”). If Holdings identifies a third party that wishes to obtain such rights, then upon Holdings’ request, (i) Licensor and Holdings shall amend this Agreement to terminate all of Holdings’ rights and obligations to the extent applicable to the Discontinued Program and (ii) Licensor shall enter into a separate license agreement with such third party in which all of such terminated rights and obligations shall be conferred upon and undertaken by such third party. The terms and conditions of such license agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, to the extent that such terms are applicable to the Discontinued Program and not dependent on any Operative Document other than this Agreement. Such terms shall include but not be limited to (1) provisions allowing for termination of such license agreement upon a material, uncured breach of such license agreement by the third party on similar terms as provided herein with respect to Holdings and (2) a confidentiality provision that is not dependent on any of the Operative Documents. Termination of this Agreement shall not effect such license agreement and Licensor’s obligation to enter into such a license agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
          2.10 Supply of Product After Expiration or Termination of Term. In the event of expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without exercise by Licensor, without limiting Licensor’s other obligations pursuant to the Operative Documents, during the [ * ] day period following any such expiration or termination, Licensor agrees to cooperate in good faith and provide reasonable assistance to Holdings (or its partners or transferees hereunder), at the expense of Holdings, in connection with the transition of the continued development (including, but not limited to, clinical development), manufacture and commercialization of Products by Holdings (or its partners or transferees hereunder), including, but not limited to, the supply of active ingredients or other compositions of matter during such period.
          2.11 Post-Term Zybrestat Cross-Licenses.
                  (a) Holdings License Grant. Effective upon the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option, Holdings hereby grants to Licensor a fully paid, worldwide, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under the Symphony Zybrestat Patents, solely to make, have made, develop, use, offer for sale, sell, and import Zybrestat Compounds solely for use other than the non-systemic administration of Zybrestat for treatment of, or therapies related to, diseases of the eye.

               (b) Licensor License Grant. Effective upon the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option, Licensor, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Holdings a fully paid, worldwide, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under the Licensor Zybrestat Patents, solely to make, have made, develop, use, offer for sale, sell, and import Ophthalmology Products. For the avoidance of doubt, the license granted pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall not in any way limit the license granted pursuant to Section 2.1.
ARTICLE 3
SUBLICENSE TO CERTAIN THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
          3.1 Third Party Sublicense Payments. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, to the extent that (a) any Licensed Intellectual Property is licensed to Licensor pursuant to a Third Party License Agreement and the development, manufacture, use, sale or other commercialization of any Product by Holdings shall require the Licensor to make a royalty payment, milestone or any other payment obligation to the third party licensor of such Licensed Intellectual Property, (i) Holdings shall be responsible for the satisfaction of such royalty payment, milestone or any other obligation to such licensor if such payment is triggered by the development, manufacture, use, sale or other commercialization of any Product by Holdings (including, without limitation, by Licensor in the performance of the Research and Development Agreement); or (ii) such royalty payment shall be shared by the Parties in amounts and/or percentages to be agreed upon by the Parties if such payment relates (but does not relate solely) to the manufacture, use, sale or other commercialization of any Product by Holdings (including, without limitation, by Licensor in the performance of the Research and Development Agreement).

Upon the scope of any Licensed Patent Rights being amended so that the patent or patent application’s claims no longer relate to, or are exploitable in connection with, any Product and/or any Program, for which Licensor has not exercised a Discontinuation Option, such patent or patent application shall cease to be a Licensed Patent Right and all rights and obligations with respect to such patent or patent application (including costs, fees, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement) shall revert to Licensor.
               (d) Holdings shall not be responsible for the costs of any interference or reexamination initiated by Licensor with respect to the Program-Specific Patents (except to the extent allocated in the Development Budget), unless the Parties mutually agree in writing (i) that it is reasonably necessary or useful to file and prosecute such interference or re-examination in connection with such Program-Specific Patents to protect their interests in such Program-Specific Patents and (ii) to a reasonable allocation of costs in the event that any Program-Specific Patents relate to Licensor’s business other than the Programs, which agreement will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

               (e) Holdings shall not be responsible for the costs of any opposition, protest or reexamination initiated by Licensor with respect to any intellectual property rights owned or controlled by a third party, including those related to any pending patent application, (except to the extent allocated in the Development Budget), unless the Parties mutually agree in writing (i) that it is reasonably necessary or useful to file and prosecute such opposition, protest or reexamination in connection with such third party intellectual property to protect their interests in the Programs and (ii) to a reasonable allocation of costs in the event that such third party intellectual property relates to Licensor’s business other than the Programs, which agreement will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth on Schedule 2.1, Licensor shall not cancel a Program-Specific Claim or abandon a Program-Specific Patent without [ * ].
