In the event Licensee is required to pay royalties to one or more third parties for Patent Rights necessary to sell Licensed Products, and the total royalties payable by Licensee exceed [***], then Licensee may deduct [***]from the Earned Royalties payable to Cornell for every $1.00 Licensee actually pays to said third parties of the amount Licensee pays above the [***]; provided, however, in no event shall the amount payable to Cornell be less than [***]% of the amount otherwise due.

(f)  during the Royalty Term, beginning the first full calendar year after the commercial sale of the first License Product by Licensee, its Sublicensee, or an Affiliate and if the total payments by Licensee under Paragraphs 3.1(d) to Cornell in any such year cumulatively are less than the amount (“Minimum Annual Royalty”) illustrated below:

3.2  Patent Costs.  Licensee shall reimburse Cornell for all Past Patent Costs (incurred prior to the Effective Date and in the amounts set forth below) and all Future Patent Costs (incurred on or after the Effective Date). Past Patent Costs shall be paid on June 30^th and December 31^st of the applicable years set forth in the table below.

3.3  Due Diligence.

(a)  Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, either directly or through its Affiliate(s) or Sublicensee(s):

(i)  diligently proceed with the development, manufacture and sale of such Licensed Products;

(ii)  [***];

(iii)  [***];

(iv)  [***];

(v)  [***];

(vi)  [***];

(vii)  [***];

(viii)  [***];

10

---

 

(ix)  [***];

(x)  [***];

(xi)  [***];

(xii)  [***];

(xiii)  [***];

(xiv)  reasonably fill the market demand for Licensed Products following commencement of marketing at any time during the term of this Agreement; and

(xv)  obtain and maintain all necessary governmental approvals and permits for the manufacture, use and sale of Licensed Products in the Territory during the Term.

(b)  If Licensee fails to perform any of its material obligations, then Cornell shall issue a Notice of Default to Licensee and the Parties shall discuss in good faith the key reasons for any such delay, and where any such delay or failure to meet the goals set forth above is due to any key scientific or technical challenges or complexities, regulatory challenges or changes, or unexpected development costs, challenges or complexities or safety issues, manufacturing challenges or hurdles, commercial factors, IP issues or any other key aspects of development and commercialization, the Parties shall discuss the matter in good faith and within sixty (60) days of such Notice of Default, Licensee shall propose  a modified development plan in order to remedy or overcome any such challenges. If Cornell agrees, or the arbitrator determines pursuant to Appendix C, that there is a reasonable basis for said plan, then such modified development plan shall constitute Licensee’s new development plan, and the failure described in the Notice of Default will be deemed timely cured.  In the event that after Licensee initiates such modified development plan, Cornell does not believe that Licensee (directly or through its Sublicensee) is applying its commercially reasonable efforts towards the material objectives therein, then Cornell may request that the arbitrator determine pursuant to Appendix C whether Licensee (directly or through its Sublicensee) is applying such efforts, and if the arbitrator agrees with Cornell that Licensee (directly or through its Sublicensee) is not applying such efforts, then Cornell shall have the right and option to either terminate this Agreement or change Licensee’s exclusive license to a nonexclusive license. This right, if exercised by Cornell, supersedes the rights granted in Article 2.

11

---

 

(c)  If at any time during the Term, Licensee has not begun a genuine product or business development program for a specific Licensed Product in any country within the Territory and Cornell receives one or more legitimate inquiries to license Patent Rights for the commercialization of said specific Licensed Product in said country, Cornell shall refer such offers to Licensee. If (i) Licensee is no longer an Independent Company, and (ii) Licensee fails to satisfy the market demand (within 25%) in said country of the specific Licensed Product, and Licensee is unable to cure such failure within ninety (90) days from the date of notice, or fails to grant Sublicenses to the inquirers to satisfy such market demand (after Licensee has failed to cure such failure as set forth above), Cornell may then exclude said country, and only said country, from the Territory and license such rights to one or more third parties.

Article 4.  REPORTS, RECORDS AND PAYMENTS

4.1  Reports.

(a)  Development Reports.  Beginning six (6) months after Effective Date and ending on the date of first commercial sale of a Licensed Product in the United States, Licensee shall report to Cornell progress covering Licensee’s (and Affiliate’s and Sublicensee’s, as applicable) material activities and efforts in the development of any Licensed Products in the Field under this Agreement.  Such reports shall be provided for the preceding six (6) months. The report shall include, but not be limited to, activities and efforts to develop and test all Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory and obtain governmental approvals necessary for marketing the same.  Such semi-annual reports shall be due within sixty (60) days of the end of the applicable semi-annual reporting period and shall substantially conform to the form provided herein as Appendix D.

(b)  Commercialization Reports.  After the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product anywhere in the Territory, Licensee shall submit to Cornell semi-annual commercialization reports on or before each February 28 and August 31 of each year during the Term. Each report shall cover Licensee’s (and each Affiliate’s and Sublicensee’s, as applicable) most recently completed calendar half and shall show:

(i)  the gross sales and Net Sales (as defined in Paragraph 1.11) during the most recently completed calendar quarter and the royalties, in US dollars, payable with respect thereto;

(ii)  the number of each type of Licensed Product sold (in units or stock keeping units, as applicable);

(iii)  sublicense fees and royalties received during the most recently completed calendar half in US dollars, payable with respect thereto;

(iv)  the method used to calculate the royalties;

(v)  the exchange rates used; and

(vi)  relevant business and corporate development efforts relating to the rights granted in this Agreement.

12

---

 

Licensee shall provide the above information using a form that substantially complies with the form shown in Appendix E and include information on the date of the first commercial sale of each Licensed Product  in each country.

If no sales of Licensed Products have been made and no Sublicense revenue has been received by Licensee during the applicable reporting period, Licensee shall so report such information to Cornell, which such communication shall be deemed to satisfy in full Licensee’s reporting obligations hereunder.

4.2  Records & Audits.

(a)  Licensee shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, accurate and correct records of Net Sales and such records as are necessary to determine the amounts due to Cornell under this Agreement.  Such records shall be retained by Licensee for at least five (5) years following a given reporting period.

(b)  All records shall be available during normal business hours upon a mutually agreeable date and time and with at least fifteen (15) business days’ advance written notice to Licensee for inspection, at the expense of Cornell, by an independent Certified Public Accountant selected by Cornell and in compliance with the other terms of this Agreement for the sole purpose of verifying reports and payments or other compliance issues. Such inspector shall not disclose to Cornell any information other than information relating to the accuracy of reports and payments made under this Agreement or other compliance issues. In the event that any such inspection shows an undisputed under-reporting and underpayment in excess of five percent (5%) for any twelve-month (12-month) period, then Licensee shall pay the cost of the audit as well as any additional sum that would have been payable to Cornell had the Licensee reported correctly, plus an interest charge at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year. Such interest shall be calculated from the date the correct payment was due to Cornell up to the date when such payment is actually made by Licensee. For any undisputed underpayment not in excess of five percent (5%) for any twelve-month (12-month) period, Licensee shall pay the difference within thirty (30) days without inspection cost but with interest charge per the provisions of Paragraph 4.3(c).

4.3  Payments.

(a)  All fees, reimbursements and royalties due Cornell shall be paid in United States dollars and all checks shall be made payable to “Cornell University”, referencing Cornell’s taxpayer identification number, [***], and sent to Cornell according to Paragraph 10.1 (Correspondence). When Licensed Products are sold in currencies other than United States dollars, Licensee shall first determine the Earned Royalty in the currency of the country in which Licensed Products were sold and then convert the amount into equivalent United States funds, using the exchange rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the applicable reporting period.

(b)  Royalty Payments.

(i)  Royalties shall accrue when payments for the applicable Licensed Products are invoiced, or if not invoiced, when delivered to a third party or Affiliate.

13

---

 

(ii)  Licensee shall pay Earned Royalties semi-annually on or before February 28 and August 31 of each calendar year for the previous calendar half. Each such payment shall be for earned royalties accrued within Licensee’s most recently completed calendar half.

(iii)  Royalties earned on sales occurring pursuant to this Agreement or under a Sublicense granted pursuant to this Agreement in any country outside the United States shall not be reduced by Licensee for any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by the government of such country on the payment of royalty income, except that all payments made by Licensee in fulfillment of Cornell’s tax liability in any particular country may be credited against earned royalties or fees due Cornell for that country. Licensee shall pay all bank charges resulting from the transfer of such royalty payments.

(iv)  If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all royalties by Licensee with respect to any country where a Licensed Product is sold or a Sublicense is granted pursuant to this Agreement, Licensee shall convert the amount owed to Cornell into US currency and shall pay Cornell directly from its US sources of funds for as long as the legal restrictions apply.

(v)  In the event that any patent or patent claim within Patent Rights expires or is held invalid in a final decision by a patent office from which no appeal or additional patent prosecution has been or can be taken, or by a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort and from which no appeal has or can be taken, all obligation to pay royalties based solely on that patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct therefrom shall cease as of the date of such final decision in the applicable country within the Territory. Licensee shall not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued before the date of such final decision in the applicable country within the Territory, or that are based on another patent or claim within the Patent Rights not involved in such final decision, or that are based on the use of the Technology in the applicable country within the Territory.

(c)  Late Payments.  In the event royalty, reimbursement and/or fee payments are not received by Cornell when due, Licensee shall pay to Cornell interest charges at a rate of [***]. Such interest shall be calculated from the date payment was due until actually received by Cornell.

Article 5.  PATENT MATTERS AND TECHNOLOGY OWNERSHIP

5.1  Patent Prosecution and Maintenance.

(a)  Provided that Licensee has reimbursed Cornell for Patent Costs pursuant to Paragraph 3.2, Cornell shall diligently prosecute and maintain the United States and, if available, foreign patents, and applications in Patent Rights using counsel that is mutually agreed upon by the Parties.  Cornell shall provide Licensee with copies of all relevant documentation relating to such prosecution and an opportunity to review and comment upon the text of the applications relating to the Patent Rights as soon as practicable (but in no event less than thirty (30) days for new patent application filings and fifteen (15) days for all other filings) before filing. The counsel shall take instructions only from Cornell, and all patents and patent applications in Patent Rights shall be assigned solely to CRF or Cornell. Further, Cornell shall (i) consider

14

---

 

amending any patent application in Patent Rights to include claims reasonably requested by Licensee to protect the products contemplated to be sold as Licensed Products by Licensee under this Agreement; (ii) provide Licensee with a copy of each submission made to and document received from a patent authority, court or other tribunal relating to the Patent Rights reasonably promptly after making such filing or receiving such document, including a copy of each application for each item within the Patent Rights as filed together with notice of its filing date and application number; (iii) keep Licensee apprised of the status of all material communications, actual and prospective filings or submissions regarding the Patent Rights, and give Licensee copies of and an opportunity to review and comment on any such material communications, filings and submissions proposed to be sent to any patent authority or judicial body; and (iv) reasonably consider in good faith Licensee’s comments on the communications, filings and submissions for the Patent Rights.  For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall be free to prosecute and maintain the United States and, if available elsewhere in the Territory, any and all patents and applications therefor using counsel of its choosing with respect to any inventions owned by Licensee.

(b)  Licensee may elect to terminate its reimbursement obligations with respect to any patent application or patent in Patent Rights upon ninety (90) days written notice to Cornell. Cornell shall use reasonable efforts to curtail further Patent Costs for such application or patent when such notice of termination is received from Licensee. Cornell, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, may continue prosecution and maintenance of said application or patent, and Licensee shall have no further license with respect thereto and shall not be responsible for any costs or fees associated therewith incurred by Cornell after said 90 day period has ended. Non-payment of any portion of Patent Costs with respect to any application or patent, which remains uncured for sixty (60) days following Cornell’s Notice of Default with respect to such non-payment, may be deemed by Cornell as an election by Licensee to terminate its reimbursement obligations with respect to such application or patent. Cornell is not obligated to file, prosecute, or maintain Patent Rights outside of the territory at any time or to file, prosecute, or maintain Patent Rights to which Licensee has terminated its License hereunder.

(c)  From and after the Effective Date, if Cornell proposes to abandon or fail to maintain any patent or patent application within the Patent Rights, it shall give Licensee reasonable notice thereof (with sufficient time for Licensee to assume control thereof and continue the prosecution or maintenance of such patent, trademark or application) and thereafter Licensee may, upon written notice to Cornell and at Licensee’s sole cost, control the prosecution and maintenance with respect to such patent or application (such patent or patent application so assumed, a “Licensee Assumed Item”). Licensee shall control, itself or through outside counsel reasonably acceptable to Cornell and directed by Licensee, prosecution and maintenance with respect to Licensee Assumed Items in the Territory, at Licensee’s sole cost and expense, as well as preparation and filing for any patent term extensions or similar protections therefor.  Licensee shall provide Cornell with a copy of each material submission made to and document received from a patent authority regarding any Licensee Assumed Items reasonably promptly after making such filing or receiving such document, including a copy of each application for each item within the Licensee Assumed Items as filed together with notice of its filing date and application number.

15

---

 

(d)  No later than 120 days after the Effective Date, Cornell and Licensee shall discuss a prosecution strategy in respect of the Patents Rights. During the Term, if Licensee reasonably believes that Cornell’s prosecution or maintenance of any Patent Rights is inconsistent with the prosecution strategy as agreed upon by the Parties, or otherwise believes that the Patent Costs attendant to the prosecution or maintenance of any such Patent Right are unreasonable, then the CEO of Recro Pharma, Inc. and the Director of Technology/Licensing for Cornell shall meet and attempt to come to a resolution. To the extent that the parties are unable to come to a mutually agreeable resolution, the dispute shall be settled in accordance with Paragraph 10.8 (Dispute Resolution) of this Agreement.

(e)  Licensee shall have the right to apply for an extension of the term of any patent in Patent Rights if appropriate under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 and/or European, Japanese and other foreign counterparts of this law.  Licensee shall prepare all documents for such application, and Cornell shall execute such documents and to take any other additional action as Licensee reasonably requests in connection therewith.

5.2  Patent Infringement.

(a)  If either Party learns of any substantial infringement of Patent Rights, such Party shall reasonably promptly inform the other Party and provide the other Party with any available evidence of the infringement. Neither party shall notify a third party of the infringement of Patent Rights without the consent of the other party. Both Parties shall use reasonable efforts and cooperation to terminate infringement without litigation.

(b)  From and after the Effective Date, Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to enforce Patent Rights against any actual, alleged or threatened infringement or misappropriation by third parties in the Territory, at Licensee’s sole expense.  In the event Licensee elects to bring and prosecute such an action, Cornell shall reasonably assist Licensee and cooperate in any such action at Licensee’s request (and Licensee shall reimburse all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Cornell in connection therewith), and Licensee shall seek and reasonably consider Cornell’s comments before determining the strategy. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall keep Cornell advised of all material communications, actual and prospective filings or submissions regarding such action, and shall provide Cornell copies of and an opportunity to review and comment on any such material communications, filings and submissions. Licensee shall not settle, or consent to any judgment in, any action under this Paragraph 5.2(b) without Cornell’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c)  From and after the Effective Date, Cornell may request that Licensee take legal action against a third party for the infringement of Patent Rights in the Field and within the Territory. Such request shall be made in writing and shall include any available evidence of such infringement and damages. If the infringing activity has not abated ninety (90) days following Cornell’s request, Licensee shall elect to or not to commence suit on its own account. Licensee shall give notice of its election in writing to Cornell by the end of the one-hundredth (100th) day after receiving notice of such request from Cornell.  Cornell may thereafter bring suit for patent infringement and any related claims at its own expense and Licensee will cooperate with Cornell. If Cornell elects to bring and prosecute such an action, then Cornell shall seek and reasonably

16

---

 

consider Licensee’s comments on strategy. Without limiting the foregoing, Cornell shall keep Licensee advised of all material communications, actual and prospective filings or submissions regarding such action, and shall provide Licensee copies of and an opportunity to review. Cornell shall not settle, or consent to any judgment in, any action under this Paragraph 5.2(c), without Licensee’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d)  Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit brought pursuant to Paragraphs 5.2(b) or 5.2(c) will [***].[***].[***]. Cornell and Licensee agree to be bound by all determinations of patent infringement, validity, and enforceability (but no other issue) resolved by any adjudicated judgment in a suit brought in compliance with this Paragraph 5.2.

(e)  Notwithstanding 5.2(d), any agreement made by Licensee for purposes of settling litigation or other dispute shall comply with the requirements of Paragraph 2.2 (Sublicense) of this Agreement.

(f)  Each party shall cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings at the expense of the party bringing suit. Litigation shall be controlled by the party bringing the suit. CRF and/or Cornell may be represented by counsel of its choice at its own expense in any suit brought by Licensee. For the sake of clarity, each party may be represented by counsel of its choice in any suit brought against them by the alleged infringer.

5.3  Patent Marking.  Licensee shall mark all Licensed Products made, used or sold under the terms of this Agreement, or their containers, in accordance with the applicable patent marking laws.

5.4  Ownership of Technology

(a)  Cornell retains ownership of the Technology, and Cornell shall be the sole owner of all right, title and interest to such Technology and all intellectual property rights therein.  During the Term, Licensee shall make no use of Technology outside the scope of this Agreement and the licenses granted hereunder.  Any such use shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

(b)  Licensee retains ownership of the Licensee Know-How and Licensee shall be the sole owner of all right, title and interest to such Licensee Know-How and all intellectual property rights therein. Cornell shall make no use of the Licensee Know-How and any such use shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

(c)  Promptly after receipt by Cornell of the Initial License Fee and the Materials Fee from Licensee pursuant to Paragraph 3.1(a), Cornell shall transfer IND 106,913 to Licensee by filing a letter with the FDA stating that all rights to IND 106,913 have been transferred to Licensee as the new owner, as of the effective date set forth therein, pursuant to 21 CFR 312.72 Change in Ownership of Application and in a form reasonably acceptable to Licensee. Cornell shall execute two (2) copies of such letter, and shall deliver one (1) copy to each of FDA and Licensee. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Parties will discuss and agree upon their desired treatment and disposition of IND 106,913.

Article 6.  GOVERNMENTAL MATTERS

6.1  Governmental Approval or Registration.  If this Agreement or any associated transaction is required by the law of any nation to be either approved or registered with any governmental agency, Licensee shall assume all legal obligations to do so and Cornell shall cooperate with Licensee in fulfilling any such obligations. Licensee shall notify Cornell if it becomes aware that this Agreement is subject to a United States or foreign government reporting or approval requirement.  Licensee shall make all necessary filings and pay all costs including fees, penalties, and all other out-of-pocket costs associated with such reporting or approval process.

6.2  Export Control Laws.  Licensee shall observe all applicable United States and foreign laws with respect to the transfer of Licensed Products and related technical data to foreign countries, including, without limitation, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations.

Article 7.  TERMINATION AND EXPIRATION OF THE AGREEMENT

(a)  If Licensee fails to perform or violates any term and is in material breach of this Agreement, then Cornell may give written notice of default (“Notice of Default”) to Licensee. If Licensee fails to cure the default within sixty (60) days of the Notice of Default, Cornell may terminate this Agreement and the license granted herein by a second written notice (“Notice of Termination”) to Licensee.  If a Notice of Termination is sent to Licensee, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the effective date of that notice. Termination shall not relieve Licensee of its obligation to pay any fees owed at the time of termination and shall not impair any accrued right of Cornell.

(b)  This Agreement will terminate immediately, without the obligation to provide written notices as set forth in Paragraph 7.1(a), if Licensee files a claim including in any way the assertion that any portion of CRF’s or Cornell’s Patent Rights is invalid or unenforceable where the filing is by the Licensee, a third party on behalf of the Licensee, or a third party at the written urging of the Licensee.

7.2  Termination by Licensee.

(i)  as of the Effective Date, Recro Ireland Limited is an Affiliate of Licensee; and

8.2  Indemnification.

(a)  Licensee shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend CRF, Cornell, and each of their respective trustees, directors, officers, employees, and agents; the sponsors of the research that led to the Inventions; and the Inventors of the patents and patent applications in Patent Rights and their employers (the “Cornell Indemnitee(s)”) against any and all claims, suits, losses, damage, costs, fees, and expenses (“Losses”) arising out arising out of any claim, action, lawsuit, or other proceeding (collectively, “Claims”) brought against any Cornell Indemnitee by a third party to the extent such Losses result from the development or commercialization of the Licensed Products by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, except to the extent involving or relating to (i) a material breach by Cornell of this Agreement, including any failure of Cornell’s representations or warranties in Paragraph 8.1(a) to be true, or (ii) any gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of any Cornell Indemnitee.

(b)  Whenever any Claim or Loss shall arise for which a Cornell Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”) may seek indemnification under this Paragraph 8.2, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Claim or Loss and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for the Claim; provided, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give such notice or to otherwise meet its obligations under this Paragraph 8.2 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.  Except as set forth in this Paragraph, the Indemnifying Party shall have exclusive control of the defense and settlement of all Claims for which it is responsible for indemnification and shall promptly assume defense thereof at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall act diligently and in good faith with respect to all matters relating to the settlement or disposition of any Claim as the settlement or disposition relates to the Indemnified Party and shall cause such defense to be conducted by counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless the Indemnifying Party is in breach of its obligation to defend hereunder. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement does not include a complete release from liability on such Claim or if such settlement would involve undertaking an obligation other than the payment of money, would bind or impair the other Party, or includes any admission of wrongdoing or that any intellectual property or proprietary right of the other Party is invalid or unenforceable. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and shall make available to the Indemnifying Party reasonably requested information under the control of the Indemnified Party, which information shall be subject to Paragraph 10.2.

21

---

 

The Indemnified Party shall have the right (at its own expense) to be present in person or through counsel at all legal proceedings giving rise to the right of indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and to control its own defense of the applicable Claim if: (i) there are or may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; provided that in no event will the Indemnifying Party be required to pay fees and expenses under this sentence for more than one (1) firm of attorneys in any jurisdiction in any one (1) legal action or group of related legal actions. In such event, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c)  Licensee, at its sole cost and expense, shall insure its activities in connection with the work under this Agreement and obtain and maintain insurance or an equivalent program of self-insurance as follows:

(i)  Prior to the first “in human” test of a Licensed Product:  comprehensive or commercial general liability insurance (contractual liability included) with limits of at least: (A) each occurrence, [***]; (B) products/completed operations aggregate, [***]; (C) personal and advertising injury, [***]; and (D) general aggregate (commercial form only), [***]; and

(ii)  Commencing upon the first “in human” test of a Licensed Product:  comprehensive or commercial general liability insurance (contractual liability included) with limits of at least: (A) each occurrence, [***]; (B) products/completed operations aggregate, [***]; (C) personal and advertising injury, [***]; and (D) general aggregate (commercial form only), [***]; and

(iii)  the coverage and limits referred to above shall not in any way limit the liability of Licensee.

(d)  Licensee shall, upon request, furnish Cornell with certificates of insurance showing compliance with all requirements. Such certificates shall: (i) provide for thirty (30) day advance written notice to Cornell of any modification; (ii) indicate that Cornell has been endorsed as an additionally insured party under the coverage referred to above; and (iii) include a provision that the coverage shall be primary and shall not participate with nor shall be excess over any valid and collectable insurance or program of self-insurance carried or maintained by Cornell.

Appendix C: Baseball Arbitration

(i)If a dispute arises under this Agreement which Cornell and the Licensee are not able to resolve through the mediation of their senior officers for a period of sixty (60) days, then either Cornell or the Licensee may at any time thereafter submit such matter to be finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection in effect at the time of submission, as modified by this Appendix C.  The arbitration will be heard and determined by three (3) arbitrators who are retired judges or attorneys with at least ten (10) years of experience in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries, each of whom will be neutral.  Cornell and the Licensee each will appoint one arbitrator and the third arbitrator will be selected by the two appointed arbitrators, or, failing agreement by the two appointed arbitrators within thirty (30) days following the date of receipt by the respondent of the request for mediation, the third arbitrator will be selected by the American Arbitration Association, such three (3) arbitrators being the “Panel”.  Such arbitration will take place in New York, New York.  Fees, costs and expenses of arbitration are to be divided by Cornell and the Licensee in the following manner: Cornell will pay for the arbitrator it chooses, the Licensee will pay for the arbitrator it chooses, and Cornell and the Licensee will share payment for the third arbitrator.  Except in a proceeding to enforce the results of the arbitration or as otherwise required by applicable Laws, neither Cornell nor the Licensee nor any arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written agreement of Cornell and the Licensee.

(ii)Cornell and the Licensee each will prepare and submit a written summary of its position and any relevant evidence in support thereof to the Panel within thirty (30) days of the selection of the Panel.  Upon receipt of such summaries from Cornell and the Licensee, the Panel will provide copies of the same to the other.  The Panel will be authorized to solicit briefing or other submissions on particular questions.  Within fifteen (15) days of the delivery of such summaries by the Panel, Cornell and the Licensee each will submit a written rebuttal of the other’s summary and may also amend and re-submit its original summary.  Oral presentations will not be permitted unless otherwise requested by the Panel.  The Panel will make a final decision with respect to the arbitration matter within thirty (30) days following receipt of the last of such rebuttal statements submitted by Cornell and the Licensee and will make a determination by selecting the resolution proposed by one of Cornell or the Licensee that as a whole is the most fair and reasonable to Cornell and the Licensee in light of the totality of the circumstances and that complies with the terms of this Agreement and will provide Cornell and the Licensee with a written statement setting forth the basis of the determination in connection therewith.  For purposes of clarity, the Panel will only have the right to select a resolution proposed by one of Cornell or the Licensee in its entirety and without modification provided such resolution complies with the terms of this Agreement.

(iii)Cornell and the Licensee further agree that the decision of the Panel will be the sole, exclusive and binding remedy between them regarding the original dispute.
