DOR undertakes to appoint at least one back up manufacturer.

If, however, within forty-five (45) days of the notice of a third party infringement, DOR fails to institute an infringement suit that STPI feels is reasonably required, STPI shall have the right at its own discretion to institute an action for infringement of any of the claim or claims of  the  PATENT RIGHTS in question and DOR agrees to use DILIGENT EFFORTS under the MCDONALD LICENSE to protect STPI’s rights set forth herein. After MCDONALD has been paid any and all amounts owed under Section 9 of the MCDONALD LICENSE, to the extent applicable, and after both parties have been reimbursed for their expenses in bringing such suit or proceeding, any further recovery obtained as a result of such action, whether by judgment, award, decree or settlement, shall be split as follows: (i) if DOR brings the action, then DOR retains 65% and STPI retains 35% and (ii) if STPI brings the action, then DOR retains 35% and STPI retains 65%.

15.1  
In the event either party shall be in breach of any material obligation hereunder, the non breaching party may give written notice to the other party specifying the claimed particulars of such breach, and in the event such material breach is not cured, or effective steps to cure such material breach have not been initiated or are not thereafter diligently pursued, within sixty (60) days following the date of such written notification, the non breaching party shall have the right thereafter to terminate the AGREEMENT by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party to such effect.
 
15.2

15.5  
The right of either party to terminate this AGREEMENT as provided hereinabove shall not be affected in any way by its waiver of or failure to take actions with respect to any previous default.
 
15.6  
Upon any early termination of this AGREEMENT, RECEIVING PARTY shall return to DISCLOSING PARTY all of its CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and transfer to DISCLOSING PARTY all reports, records, customer lists, regulatory correspondence and other materials in RECEIVING PARTY’s or its AFFILIATES’ possession or control relating to the pre-clinical and clinical development, APPROVAL, manufacture, distribution and sale of PRODUCTS, including without limitation the safety database and such reports, records, regulatory correspondence and other materials related to the COMMERCIALIZATION of the PRODUCT, if any.  In addition all sublicenses (if any) or distributorships shall terminate provided however that at DOR’s request, STPI shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assign to DOR any third party distributor contract relating to such PRODUCTS to which STPI or any of its AFFILIATES is a party (or the applicable provisions thereof, as the case may be).  If STPI terminates this AGREEMENT other than for cause or if this AGREEMENT is terminated by DOR for cause or pursuant to Article 15.3, STPI and its AFFILIATE and distributors will immediately (i) cease any sale of PRODUCT and AG PRODUCT and destroy or return all PRODUCT and AG PRODUCT and (ii) provide an accurate and up to date list of purchasers of the PRODUCT and AG PRODUCT along with quantities and purchase price.  STPI shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to DOR regarding its compliance with the foregoing sentence.

Appendix C
 

SUPPLY PRICE
 
 
DOR shall sell and deliver to STPI the PRODUCT and AG PRODUCT at a SUPPLY PRICE equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of the NET SALES of the PRODUCT and AG PRODUCT.
 
For the sake of good order, DOR declares that such thirty-five percent (35%) SUPPLY PRICE is to be allocated as follows:
 
(i)  
FULLY BURDENED MANUFACTURING COST as a transfer price for the PRODUCT and AG PRODUCT, to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of the relevant invoice (the “FIXED COMPONENT”); and
 
(ii)  
The remaining amount (representing the remainder of the purchase price for the PRODUCT)  to be paid within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter (the “PERCENTAGE COMPONENT”).
 
STPI agrees that, while it has the discretion to set the pricing for the PRODUCT and AG PRODUCT, the SUPPLY PRICE shall in no event be less than ***** of the FIXED COMPONENT.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, in no case shall the SUPPLY PRICE (i.e. the FIXED COMPONENT plus the PERCENTAGE COMPONENT) exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the NET SALES of the PRODUCT.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Article 9.3, upon the expiration of the last to expire VALID CLAIM covering the PATENT RIGHTS, the SUPPLY PRICE shall be reduced to a percentage of NET SALES of the PRODUCT or AG PRODUCT to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.  If the parties are unable to agree, either party may, by written notice to the other party, have such dispute referred to the respective officers designated below, or their successors, for attempted resolution by good faith negotiation within thirty (30) days after such notice is received.  Such designated officers are as follows:
 
For DOR:               Christopher J. Schaber, Ph.D., President and CEO
 
 
For STPI:
Gregg Lapointe, Chief Executive Officer
 
In the event that the designated officers are not able to resolve the dispute within such thirty (30)-day period, or such other period of time as the parties may mutually agree to in writing, the dispute shall be referred to and finally and exclusively resolved as follows:
 
(i)           Each party shall appoint an independent expert with reasonably significant and demonstrable experience in the pharmaceutical industry.  Such appointees shall reasonably collaborate and appoint an independent expert who they reasonably believe is capable of determining the amount of the reduction in SUPPLY PRICE (such person, the “ARBITRATOR”).
 
(ii)           The ARBITRATOR shall be instructed to deliver a decision in respect of the foregoing reduction amount that is not above or below each of the parties’ last best offer and that otherwise takes into consideration applicable legal, regulatory, commercialization and customary marketing concerns related to the PRODUCT and AG PRODUCT.  The ARBITRATOR shall be instructed that its decision with respect to the reduction shall be delivered in ten (10) business days (or such time as the parties may mutually agree or the ARBITRATOR may reasonably request), in writing and shall include a statement describing in reasonable detail the decision of the ARBITRATOR.  The decision of the ARBITRATOR shall be final and binding and conclusive upon the parties for all purposes under this AGREEMENT (absent fraud or manifest bad faith by the ARBITRATOR).  The fees and expenses of the ARBITRATOR shall be shared equally by the parties.

(i) LICENSEE shall use reasonable effort to introduce the Licensed Products for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease and host-versus-graft disease into the commercial market as soon as practicable, consistent with sound and reasonable business practices and judgment, and thereafter endeavor to keep Licensed Products reasonably available to the public.
 
(ii) If LICENSEE does not have to conduct any Clinical Trials prior to FDA approval of the first LICENSEE-sponsored NDA for Licensed Product, LICENSOR shall have the right to terminate or render this Agreement nonexclusive at any time after eighteen (18) months from the effective date of this Agreement if, in LICENSOR’s reasonable judgment, LICENSEE:

In making this determination, LICENSOR shall take into account the normal course of such programs conducted with sound and reasonable business practices and judgment and shall take into account the reports provided hereunder by LICENSEE.
25

 
(iv) LICENSEE shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to granting any sublicense to any Affiliate or Third Party, identify such Affiliate or Third Party to LICENSOR.  Concurrent with identifying such Affiliate or Third Parry, LICENSEE shall provide to LICENSOR a copy of the sublicense agreement.  Any sublicense shall be granted in a sublicense agreement that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement and is in form and substance acceptable to LICENSOR; provided, however, that a sublicense agreement that is verified by Licensor to contain the relevant provisions of Sections 1, 2B, 3A, 3C, 4D, 4E, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 shall not require the pre-approval of LICENSOR.  In a sublicense agreement, LICENSEE shall not grant any sublicensee the right to sublicense the Licensed Patents or Know-how licensed in this Agreement.  LICENSEE shall be liable to LICENSOR for performance by any sublicensee of such sublicenseers obligations under the sublicense agreement.  Any sublicense agreement shall provide for termination or assignment to LICENSOR, at the option of LICENSOR, of LICENSEE’s interest therein upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
(v) If LICENSEE is unable or unwilling to grant sublicenses, either as suggested by LICENSOR or a potential sublicensee or otherwise, LICENSOR has the right to directly license such potential sublicensee unless LICENSEE reasonably satisfies LICENSOR that the granting of such license or sublicense would result in direct or indirect competition with Licensed Product(s) sold, marketed, or under active research and development by LICENSEE or would not materially increase the availability to the general public of Licensed Products.
 
(vi) A nonexclusive, worldwide right to make and use the Technology by LICENSOR solely for research purposes.
 
(vii) It is understood that if the United States Government (through any of its agencies or otherwise) has funded research, during the course of or under which any of the inventions of the Licensed Patents were conceived or made, the United States Government is entitled, as a right, under the provisions of 35 U.S.C. §§200-212 and applicable regulations of Chapter 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations, to a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid up license to practice or have practiced the invention of such Licensed Patents for government purposes.  Any license granted to LICENSEE in this Agreement will be subject to such right.
 
Section 3. Consideration.
 
A. Development.
 
LICENSEE agrees that it will (i) independently evaluate the Licensed Patents; (ii) establish and actively pursue the development of the Licensed Patents to enable Licensed Products to be sold and (iii) supply LICENSOR with a written Development Report within one month following the end of each semi-annual period ending on June 30 and December 31 during the term of this Agreement until LICENSEE (a) obtains Regulatory Approvals of Licensed Product(s) for the treatment of graft-versus-host disease and host-versus-graft disease and (b) begins international commercial sales of such Licensed Product(s).  All development activities and all aspects of Licensed Product design and decisions to market are entirely at the discretion of LICENSEE, and LICENSEE will rely entirely on its own expertise.  LICENSOR’s review of LICENSEE’s development plan is solely to verify the existence of LICENSEE’s commitment to Licensed Product development activity.

In partial consideration for the grant of licenses in this Agreement to LICENSEE, LICENSEE agrees to pay to LICENSOR a nonrefundable license fee of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) within seven (7) calendar days of the execution of this agreement.
 
C. Royalty.

(ii) If LICENSEE does not have to conduct any Clinical Trials prior to FDA approval of the first LICENSEE-sponsored NDA for Licensed Product, then LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR within forty-five (45) days of the end of each Calendar Quarter in an amount equal to thirty-three percent (33%) of:  (a) any non-recurring sublicense fees (including, but not limited to, signing, up-front, and lump-sum fees) and annual license maintenance fees, if any, received from any Affiliate or Third Party for the right to practice the Licensed Process(es) or make, use, sell, or import Licensed Product(s); and (b) all royalties received by LICENSEE from the sale of Licensed Product(s) by any sublicensed Third Party,
 
(iii) If LICENSEE does have to conduct Clinical Trials to obtain FDA approval of the first LICENSEE-sponsored NDA for Licensed Product, then LICENSEE shall pay LICENSOR within forty-five (45) days from the end of each Calendar Quarter six percent (6%) of all Net Sales of Licensed Products by LICENSEE or a sublicensed Affiliate.

(v) The royalty rates in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) in any country where a competitor is selling any oral formulation of the Licensed Product(s) for any indication.
 
26

(vi) No royalty shall accrue on sales among LICENSEE, its sublicensed Affiliates or sublicensed Third Parties.  Royalties shall only accrue on sales by LICENSEE, its sublicensed Affiliates or sublicensed Third Parties to parties other than LICENSEE, its sublicensed Affiliates or sublicensed Third Parties and shall be payable only once for any given unit of Licensed Product sold.
 
(vii) To the extent that LICENSEE or any Affiliate of LICENSEE is required, by order or judgment of any court, to obtain in any country any license from a Third Party in order to practice the rights purported to be granted hereunder to LICENSEE by LICENSOR under the Third Party’s issued patents in such country, then fifty percent (50%) of the royalties payable under such license in such jurisdiction may be deducted from royalties otherwise payable to LICENSOR hereunder, provided that in no event shall the aggregate royalties payable to LICENSOR in any Calendar Quarter in such country be reduced by more than fifty per cent (50%) as a result of any such deduction.
 
D. Milestone Payments.
 
LICENSEE agrees to pay to LICENSOR three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) within seven (7) calendar days of the FDA’s approval of the first LICENSEE-sponsored NDA incorporating the Technology.
 
E. Equity Participation.
 
(i) In partial consideration for the grant of licenses in this Agreement to LICENSEE, LICENSEE shall issue to LICENSOR a number of shares (the “Initial Shares”) of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of LICENSEE, par value $.001 per share, representing eight percent (8%) of the outstanding Common Stock as of the date of execution of the License Agreement, LICENSEE shall issue the Initial Shares to LICENSOR pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  The Initial Shares shall be protected from dilution in connection with any financing transaction by LICENSEE until such time as LICENSEE has received at least two million dollars ($2,000,000) in gross proceeds from the issuance of equity securities of LICENSEE.  LICENSOR shall be entitled to receive, in partial consideration for the grant of licenses this Agreement to LICENSEE, additional shares of Common Stock so as to maintain his respective percentage ownership of LICENSEE immediately prior to the applicable financing.
 
(ii) If LICENSEE does not have to conduct any Clinical Trials prior to FDA approval of the first LICENSEE sponsored NDA for Licensed Product, then LICENSEE also shall issue to LICENSOR, in partial consideration for the grant of licenses in this Agreement to LICENSEE, a number of new shares of Common Stock of LICENSEE equal to the Initial Shares, which shall have the same dilution protection as the Initial Shares set forth in E(i) above.
 
F. Penalty Payments.
 
In the event LICENSEE has not (i) initiated recruitment of patients for a Phase III Clinical Trial for the Licensed Products, or (ii) initiated the filing of a NDA within six (6) months of signing this Agreement, LICENSEE shall pay LICENSOR one hundred thousand dollars ($100,0,00) within seven (7) calendar days of the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
 
G. Payments by Equity.
 
(i) Upon the request of LICENSOR, LICENSEE shall have the obligation to fulfill any of LICENSEE’s payment obligations due under this Section 3 through the issuance of an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to the cash value of any such payment obligation.  Any such issuances of Common Stock shall be made only to the extent that an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act exists or the shares are duly registered under the Securities Act.
 
27

(ii) For purposes of calculating the cash value of the Common Stock under Section 3G(i), the then-current market price of the Common Stock will be deemed to be the average closing price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to the date on which any payment pursuant to this Section 3 accrues, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is admitted to trading or listed, or if not listed or admitted to trading on any such national exchange, then the representative average closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System (“Nasdaq”) or other similar organization, or, if the Common Stock is not reported on Nasdaq or by a similar organization, then the average per share bid price for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau or similar organization, or if not so available, then the fair market price of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of LICENSEE.  In connection with this calculation, LICENSOR, or his representative, shall have access to the books and records of LICENSEE at any time upon twenty-four (24) hour notice to LICENSEE.  Such access shall occur during normal business hours of LICENSEE.
 
(iii) LICENSEE agrees that, at any time, and from time to time during the period commencing two (2) years after the Effective Date hereof, or one (1) year after LICENSEE’S initial public offering of Common Stock registered under the Securities Act, whichever is later, and ending on the date that is five (5) years after the Effective Date hereof, if the Board of Directors of LICENSEE authorizes the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act (other than the initial public offering of LICENSEE’s Common Stock, or a registration statement on Form S-8, Form S-4 or any other form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required in a form for the general registration of securities) in connection with the proposed offer of any of its securities by it or any of its stockholders, then LICENSEE shall (a) promptly notify LICENSOR that such registration statement will be filed and that the Common Stock then held by LICENSOR will be included in such registration statement at LICENSOR’s request, (b) cause such registration statement to cover all of such Common Stock issued to LICENSOR and requested for inclusion, (c) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable and (d) take all other action necessary under any federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority to permit all such Common Stock that has been issued to LICENSOR and requested by LICENSOR for inclusion in such proposed registration statement to be sold or otherwise disposed of and shall maintain such compliance with each such federal and state law and regulation of any governmental authority for the period necessary to effect the proposed sale or other disposition of any Common Stock that has been issued to LICENSOR and requested by LICENSOR for inclusion in the proposed registration statement.
 
To the extent that officers or directors of LICENSEE are permitted to have registered shares of Common Stock held by any of them included in an initial public offering of LICENSEE’S Common Stock, LICENSOR shall also have the right to include the Common Stock then held by LICENSOR in the registration statement prepared in connection with such an offering.
 
(iv) In the event that LICENSEE grants to any investor(s) the right to require LICENSEE to effect a registration of Common Stock held by such investors, LICENSOR shall have the right to require LICENSEE to include the Common Stock held by LICENSOR in any such registration on the same terms applicable to such investor(s).
 
a) If the Common Stock owned by LICENSOR is or becomes freely tradable, then LICENSOR shall have no right to the above described registration rights.
 
b) LICENSEE may at any time, abandon or delay any registration commenced by LICENSEE.
 
c) LICENSOR represents to LICENSEE that the Common Stock will be acquired by LICENSOR for investment purposes only, for an indefinite period of time, for its own account, not as a nominee or agent for any other entity, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of all or any part thereof, and LICENSOR has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing, any or all of the Common Stock.  LICENSOR does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person, firm or corporation, with respect to any or all of the Common Stock.
 
d) LICENSEE represents to LICENSOR that LICENSEE shall rely on Section 4(2) under the Securities Act in connection with the issuance of the Initial Shares to LICENSOR.  In addition, LICENSEE represents to LICENSOR that LICENSEE shall conduct any further issuances of Common Stock to LICENSOR (under this Section 3) only in compliance with registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption from such registration requirements.
 
e) The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 3G.
 
f) LICENSOR agrees that, in connection with each underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of LICENSEE registered under the Securities Act by or on behalf of LICENSEE, LICENSOR will not sell or transfer, or offer to sell or transfer, any equity securities of LICENSEE, to the extent all officers, directors and greater than five percent (5%) shareholders of LICENSEE are also subject to this restriction for such period as the managing underwriter of such offering determines is necessary to effect the underwritten public offering, not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days, and LICENSOR further agrees that it will sign an agreement as requested by the managing underwriter of such offering to effect the requirements of this Section 3G(iv)(f).
