4.1 In consideration of rights granted by BOARD to LICENSEE under this

(a) All out-of-pocket expenses incurred by MDA in filing, prosecuting,
enforcing and maintaining PATENT RIGHTS licensed hereunder, for so
long as, and in such
-5-
countries as, this AGREEMENT remains in effect. MDA will invoice
LICENSEE upon a quarterly basis for expenses incurred by MDA, and the
amounts invoiced will be due and payable by LICENSEE within thirty
(30) days thereafter, and
(b) A non-refundable license documentation fee in the amount of [ ]
which shall not reduce the amount of any other payment provided for in
this ARTICLE IV, and which shall be due and payable within thirty (30)

(c) A milestone payment in the amount of [ ] which shall be due and

(d) A running royalty equal to [ ] of LICENSEE'S NET SALES of
LICENSED PRODUCTS in LICENSED FIELD of therapeutics, and a running
royalty equal to [ ] of LICENSEE'S NET SALES
of LICENSED PRODUCTS in LICENSED FIELD of diagnostics, in national
political jurisdictions in the LICENSED TERRITORY where LICENSED
SUBJECT MATTER is covered by one (1) or more issued patents or pending
patent applications. Such royalties shall be reduced to [
] of above applicable rates respectively for LICENSEE'S NET SALES
of LICENSED PRODUCTS in national political jurisdictions in the
LICENSED TERRITORY where BOARD and LICENSEE decide not to file patent
applications and therefore LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER is not covered by
one (1) or more issued patents or pending patent applications.
(e) [ ] of all consideration (royalties not included)
other than Research and Development ("R&D") money and direct equity
investment received by LICENSEE from (i) any sublicensee pursuant to
Paragraphs 3.3 and 3.4 herein above and (ii) any assignee pursuant to
Paragraph 12.1 herein below, including but not limited to up-front
payments, marketing, distribution, franchise, option, license, or
documentation fees, bonus and milestone payments, plus [

LICENSED FIELD of diagnostics, all payable within thirty (30) days
after
-6-
March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year during
the term of this AGREEMENT, at which time LICENSEE shall also deliver
to BOARD and MDA a true and accurate report, giving such particulars
of the business conducted by LICENSEE and its sublicensees, if any
exist, during the preceding three (3) calendar months under this
AGREEMENT as necessary for BOARD to account for LICENSEE'S payments
hereunder. Such report shall include all pertinent data, including,
but not limited to: (a) the total quantities of LICENSED PRODUCTS
produced; (b) the total SALES, (c) the calculation of royalties
thereon; (d) the total royalties (or minimum royalties) so computed
and due MDA; and (e) all other amounts due MDA herein. Simultaneously
with the delivery of each such report, LICENSEE shall pay to MDA the
amount, if any, due for the period of such report. If no payments are
due, it shall be so reported. Should LICENSEE be obligated to pay
running royalties to third parties to avoid infringing such third
parties' patent rights which otherwise because of infringement would
preclude LICENSEE from practicing LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER, LICENSEE
may reduce the running royalty due MDA by such running royalties to
such third parties, provided, however, the running royalty due MDA
shall in no case be less than one-half the rates stated herein.
4.2 During the Term of this AGREEMENT and for one (1) year thereafter, LICENSEE
shall keep complete and accurate records of its and its sublicensees' SALES
and NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS to enable the royalties payable
hereunder to be determined. LICENSEE shall permit MDA or its
representatives, at MDA's expense, to periodically examine its books,
ledgers, and records once annually during regular business hours and with
reasonable advanced notice for the purpose of and to the extent necessary
to verify any report required under this AGREEMENT. In the event that the
amounts due to MDA are determined to have been underpaid in an amount equal
to or greater than five percent (5%) of the total amount due during the
period of time so examined, LICENSEE shall pay the cost of such
examination, and accrued interest at the highest allowable rate.
4.3 Upon the request of MDA but not more often than once per calendar year,
LICENSEE shall deliver to MDA a written report as to LICENSEE'S (and
sublicensees') efforts and accomplishments during the preceding year in
diligently commercializing LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER in the LICENSED
TERRITORY and LICENSEE'S (and sublicensees') commercialization plans for
the upcoming year.
-7-
4.4 All amounts payable hereunder by LICENSEE shall be payable in United States
funds without deductions for taxes, assessments, fees, or charges of any
kind. Checks shall be made payable to The University of Texas M. D.
Anderson Cancer Center and mailed by U.S. Mail to Box 297402, Houston,
Texas 77297 Attention: Manager, Sponsored Programs.
4.5 No payments due or royalty rates under this AGREEMENT shall be reduced as
the result of co-ownership of LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER by BOARD and another
party, including LICENSEE.
V. PUBLICATION
5.1 MDA shall have the right to publish the general scientific findings related
to the LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER, provided such publication, presentation or
public disclosure is submitted to LICENSEE at least sixty (60) days prior
to submitting it to a journal, editor, or other third party. LICENSEE
shall have sixty (60) days after receipt to review the proposed
publication, presentation or public disclosure.
5.2 MDA and LICENSEE shall jointly decide on the content and timing of any
publication, presentation or public disclosure of any jointly owned
inventions or discoveries that result from the LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER.
VI. PATENTS AND INVENTIONS
6.1 If after consultation with LICENSEE it is agreed by MDA and LICENSEE that a
new patent application should be filed for LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER, MDA
will prepare and file appropriate patent applications, and LICENSEE will
pay the cost of searching, preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining
same. If LICENSEE notifies MDA that it does not intend to pay the cost of
an application, or the prosecution or maintenance thereof in a national
political jurisdiction, then MDA may file, prosecute or maintain such
application at its own expense and LICENSEE shall have no rights to such
patent application or patent in that national political jurisdiction. MDA
shall provide LICENSEE with a copy of the application for which LICENSEE
has paid the cost of filing, as well as copies of any documents received or
filed during prosecution thereof.
-8-
VII. INFRINGEMENT BY THIRD PARTIES
7.1 LICENSEE shall have the obligation of enforcing at its expense any patent
exclusively licensed hereunder against infringement by third parties and
shall be entitled to retain recovery from such enforcement. LICENSEE shall
pay MDA a royalty on any monetary recovery to the extent that such monetary
recovery by LICENSEE is held to be damages or a reasonable royalty in lieu
thereof. In the event that LICENSEE does not file suit against a
substantial infringer of such patents within six (6) months of knowledge
thereof, then BOARD and MDA shall have the right to enforce any patent
licensed hereunder on behalf of itself and LICENSEE, with MDA retaining all
recoveries from such enforcement.
7.2 In any suit or dispute involving an infringer, the parties shall cooperate
fully, and upon the request and at the expense of the party bringing suit,
the other party shall make available to the party bringing suit at
reasonable times and under appropriate conditions all relevant personnel,
records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like which are in
its possession.
7.3 In the event that an action for infringement is brought against LICENSEE,
its AFFILIATES or sublicensees by a third party because of manufacture, use
or sale of LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSEE shall defend, at its own cost, any
such third party claim or action. MDA shall cooperate fully in such
defense and furnish to LICENSEE all evidence and assistance.

PRODUCT(S), and documentation therefor, sold by LICENSEE, SUBSIDIARIES, and
sublicensees of LICENSEE will be marked permanently and legibly with the

officers, employees, students, and agents from and against any claims,
demand, or causes of action whatsoever, costs of suit and reasonable
attorney's fees, including without limitation, those costs arising on
