and/or the MIT Patent Rights and the existence of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Schedule F to this Agreement.
 
(b)  The Licensee shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party nor use any Confidential Information for any purpose except as may be expressly authorized by the Licensor in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Licensee may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law or legal process, provided the Licensor is given reasonable prior written notice and a reasonable opportunity to intervene to protect its interests. Licensee hereby acknowledges that the MIT License Agreement has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subject to a confidential treatment order with respect to certain portions thereof. The Licensee shall not disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to law or legal process without first notifying the Licensor and using reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure and, in the case of the MIT License Agreement, to prevent the disclosure of the information subject to the aforesaid confidential treatment order, while such order is in effect. The obligations of this Section 4 shall survive the expiration or termination of this License Agreement.
 
(c)  Information will not be deemed Confidential Information hereunder if such information: (a) is known to the receiving party prior to receipt from the disclosing party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (b) becomes known (independently of disclosure by the disclosing party) to the receiving party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (c) becomes publicly known or otherwise ceases to be secret or confidential, except through a breach of this Agreement by the receiving party; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party.
 
(d)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, upon execution of this Agreement, the parties agree to execute the Notice of License Grant attached hereto as Schedule E, a copy of which may be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office together with Schedules A, B, and C attached hereto.
 
5.  Records and Audit Rights.
 
(a)  Licensee shall maintain (and cause it sublicensees to maintain) complete and accurate records of any information which may be reasonably required by Licensor to determine whether Licensee is complying with the terms of this Agreement.
 
(b)  For the sole purpose of determining whether Licensee is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Licensor shall have the right, at Licensor’s expense, to have an independent auditor conduct an inspection and audit of all the relevant accounting and sales books, records, agreements, and documents of Licensee, during regular business hours at Licensee’s offices and in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with Licensee’s normal business activities. In no event shall such audits be conducted hereunder more frequently than every twelve (12) months. Prior to commencing any such inspection and audit, any such independent auditor shall have entered into an agreement with Licensor which prohibits the disclosure of any information relating to Licensee to any party, including Licensor, except that
 
 
6

 
such auditor may issue a report to Licensor, the sole purpose of which shall be to report to Licensor whether Licensee is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including a summary of and sufficient detail regarding the scope, quality, and methodology of such compliance or lack thereof.
 
6.  Term and Termination.
 
(a)  The term of this Agreement (“Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the Expiration Date.
 
(b)  Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the licenses granted hereunder shall terminate, and any sublicenses granted by Licensee hereunder shall terminate simultaneously unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Licensor.
 
7.  Prosecution, Maintenance and Enforcement.
 
(a)  Prosecution and Maintenance. Licensor retains the sole right to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain the patent applications and patents included in the Matritech Patent Rights and the trademark registrations and applications for registration included in the Matritech Trademark Rights. No part of this Agreement shall be construed to require Licensor to file any patent or trademark application, secure any patent or trademark registration, provide copies of patent and/or trademark applications or patents and/or trademark registrations to Licensee or disclose any inventions described or claimed in such patents or patent applications. Subject to Section 7(a)(i), Licensor agrees to maintain the Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights and Licensor shall not abandon, transfer or license any of the Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights, in each case that cover the Licensed Products, without the prior written approval of the Licensee.
 
(i)  Option of Licensee to Prosecute/Maintain. Licensor shall give reasonable notice to Licensee of any desire to cease prosecution and/or maintenance of any of the Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights, in each case that cover the Licensed Products, on a country by country basis in the Territory. In the event that Licensee wishes Licensor to continue prosecution of any such Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights, Licensee shall provide timely written instructions to Licensor and Licensor agrees to prosecute such Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights at Licensor’s expense; provided, that Licensor shall not be obligated to prosecute any patent application and/or trademark application included in the Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights in the event the Licensor determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that the prosecution of such application is no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of its business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted. In the event that Licensee wishes Licensor to continue maintenance of any such Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights, Licensee shall provide timely written instructions to Licensor and Licensor agrees to maintain such Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights at Licensor’s expense.
 
 
7

 
(b)  Notice. In the event that Licensee becomes aware of any evidence that (i) any invention which is the subject of any patent applications and/or patents included in the Matritech Patent Rights infringes or is alleged to infringe any third party’s patent rights in any field of use, (ii) any patent applications and/or patents included in the Matritech Patent Rights is infringed or is alleged to be infringed by any third party in any field of use, (iii) any trademark included in the Matritech Trademark Rights infringes or is alleged to infringe any third party’s trademark rights in any field of use, or (iv) any trademark included in the Matritech Trademark Rights is infringed or is alleged to be infringed by any third party in any field of use, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor in writing of the name and address of such third party, the alleged acts of infringement, and any available evidence of infringement.
 
(c)  Defense of Infringement Actions. Licensor shall defend any claim for patent or trademark infringement by a third party on account of the manufacture, sale, practice or use of any Licensed Products at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control, or settle any such action, proceeding or dispute by license. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no settlement of any such action or proceeding which restricts the scope, or adversely affects the enforceability, of the Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights, in each case that cover the Licensed Products, may be entered into by Licensor without the prior written consent of Licensee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
 
(d)  Enforcement of Patent Rights. Licensor shall have the sole right, at its sole discretion, to bring any legal action for infringement of the Matritech Patent Rights and/or the Matritech Trademark Rights or to defend any counterclaim of invalidity or action of a third party for declaratory judgment of non-infringement or interference (“Enforcement Actions”), and Licensor may bring or defend and may settle any such Enforcement Actions solely at its own expense and through its counsel. Any recovery or proceeds of settlement or judgment in any Enforcement Actions brought or defended by Licensor under this Section 7(d) shall be shared in order, as follows: (A) Licensor shall recoup all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Enforcement Action; (B) any balance shall be applied toward the unpaid balance of all principal, premium, if any, interest on the Notes, and any other amounts payable pursuant to the terms of the Notes; and (C) any and all remaining balance shall be received by Licensor. If Licensor reasonably requests, Licensee agrees to become a party to and to participate in any such Enforcement Actions, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensor may implead Licensee as a necessary party to any such legal action and Licensee agrees to consent to such joinder; provided, however that Licensee’s participation shall be at Licensor’s expense.
 
(i)  Option of Licensee to Enforce. Licensor shall give reasonable notice to Licensee of any desire not to pursue any Enforcement Action contemplated by Section 7(d). In the event that Licensee wishes Licensor to pursue such Enforcement Action, Licensee shall provide timely written instructions to Licensor and Licensor agrees to pursue such Enforcement Action in its own name and Licensor and Licensee will share the costs and expenses of such Enforcement Action equally. In the event that Licensor recovers any damages or other sums in any such action, suit or proceeding or in settlement thereof, such damages or other sums recovered shall be shared in order, as
 
 
8

 
follows: (A) Licensee shall recoup all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Enforcement Action; (B) any balance shall be applied toward the unpaid balance of all principal, premium, if any, interest on the Notes, and any other amounts payable pursuant to the terms of the Notes; and (C) any and all remaining balance shall be received by Licensor.
 
8.  Representations of Licensor.
 
(a)  Licensor shall not amend, restate, alter, waive or otherwise change any of the terms and conditions of any License Agreement without the prior written approval of Licensee, other than pursuant to a Permitted Amendment.
 
(b)  Licensor represents that, the Matritech Patent Rights, Matritech Trademark Rights, MIT Patent Rights, and the intellectual property that is the subject of the Abbott License Agreement, are the only intellectual property rights Licensor owns or has the right to use under any written license agreement that relate to the Licensed Products.
 
9.  Laws and Regulations. Licensee agrees to cause any sublicensee to agree, and in the event that Licensee directly tests, manufactures, markets, packages, distributes or sells Licensed Products, then Licensee agrees on behalf of itself, for the benefit of Licensor to conduct all of its operations dealing with Licensed Products in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and other requirements, which may be in effect from time to time, of all national governmental authorities, and of all states, municipalities and other political subdivisions and agencies thereof, including, without limitation the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, and the regulations and other requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and to exercise a reasonable standard of care in the testing, manufacture, marketing, packaging, distribution and sale of any Licensed Product.
 
10.  Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY NOR ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AFFILIATES, MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY OF TITLE OR THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT OR THE VALIDITY OF PATENT CLAIMS, ISSUED OR PENDING, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS A REPRESENTATION MADE OR WARRANTY GIVEN BY SUCH PARTY THAT THE EXERCISE BY THE OTHER PARTY OF THE LICENSE RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER SHALL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY.
 
11.  Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE HEREUNDER FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ECONOMIC DAMAGE OR INJURY TO PROPERTY AND LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS
 
 
9

 
OF WHETHER THE OTHER PARTY SHALL BE ADVISED, SHALL HAVE OTHER REASON TO KNOW, OR IN FACT SHALL KNOW, OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE FOREGOING.
 
12.  Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. All rights and licenses granted by Licensor under or pursuant to this Agreement are, for all purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Title 11”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Title 11. Licensor agrees that, in the event of the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings by or against Licensor under Title 11, Licensee, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights under this Agreement (including the licenses granted hereunder) and all of its rights and elections under Title 11. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated under any applicable insolvency law, or Licensor or an administrator refuses to further perform this Agreement (or any of Licensor’s obligations hereunder) under any applicable insolvency law, then Licensee may elect to retain all of its license rights under this Agreement (including without limitation the rights described in Section 2 herein) for the remainder of the term of this Agreement.
 
13.  Relationship of Parties. Nothing herein shall be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or similar relationship, or to subject the parties to any implied duties or obligations respecting the conduct of their affairs which are not expressly stated herein. Neither party shall have any right or authority to assume or create any obligation or responsibility, either express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of the other party, or to bind the other party in any matter or thing whatsoever.
 
14.  Entire Agreement. Each party acknowledges that it has read this Agreement, fully understands it, and agrees to be bound by its terms and further agrees that it is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between the parties, which supersedes and merges all prior proposals, understandings and all other agreements, oral and written between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement cannot be modified or altered except by a written instrument duly executed by the Licensor and the Collateral Agent and consented to by both (i) the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal balance on the Series A Notes and (ii) the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal balance on the Series B Notes. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any right hereunder.
 
15.  Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby. Further, the provision that is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall remain in effect as far as possible in accordance with the intention of the parties.
 
16.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of Delaware.
