thereto, including but not limited to option or sublicense fees, option or
sublicense maintenance fees, milestone payments and minimum royalties. Cash
payments due to TEMPLE during any calendar year pursuant to this Paragraph 4.4

ARTICLE 5. DUE DILIGENCE AND REPORTING

5.1. LICENSEE shall use reasonable efforts to advance the development of
LICENSED PRODUCT and to effect its commercialization as soon as practicable,

delivered to TEMPLE by LICENSEE, which is incorporated herein by reference.

LICENSEE shall provide to TEMPLE a written report detailing LICENSEE's efforts
during the previous year and plans for the current year, relating to the
development, regulatory approval, manufacturing and marketing of LICENSED
PRODUCT. If progress differs in any substantive manner from that anticipated in
the plan of Exhibit A, LICENSEE shall explain in the report the reasons for the
difference and propose a modified plan for TEMPLE's review and approval,
including any additional data TEMPLE may reasonably require to evaluate
LICENSEE's performance.

ARTICLE 6. STATEMENTS AND REMITTANCES

6.1. LICENSEE shall keep and maintain complete books and records containing an
accurate accounting in sufficient detail of all data required to enable
verification of earned royalties and other payments due hereunder.

6.2. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter, LICENSEE
shall remit to TEMPLE a statement of NET SALES by LICENSEE and by its
SUBLICENSEES on account for such quarter, which statement shall be accompanied
by the payment due to TEMPLE pursuant to Paragraph 4.1 on account of NET SALES
for such quarter. Payments due to TEMPLE pursuant to Paragraph 4.4 on account of
consideration received by LICENSEE from SUBLICENSEES during any calendar quarter
shall be paid by LICENSEE to TEMPLE within sixty (60) days of the end of such
calendar quarter.

6.3. The financial statements of LICENSEE and of its SUBLICENSEES shall be
audited annually by an independent certified public accountant. TEMPLE shall
have the right to employ, at its own expense, a certified public accountant of
its own selection to whom LICENSEE shall make no unreasonable objection, to
examine the books and records of LICENSEE and its SUBLICENSEES relating to the
SALE of LICENSED PRODUCT for the purpose of verifying the amount of royalty
payments due. Such examination of books and records of LICENSEE and its
SUBLICENSEES shall take place during regular business hours during the term of
this Agreement and for two (2) years after its termination, provided however,
that such an examination shall not take place more than once a year and shall
not cover records for more than the preceding three (3) years, and provided that
such accountant shall report to TEMPLE only as to the accuracy of the royalty
statements and payments. If such accountant shall find an underpayment to
TEMPLE, presentation of a written statement substantiating the underpayment
shall be provided to LICENSEE. If LICENSEE is not in agreement with the findings
of the accountant selected by TEMPLE, then LICENSEE shall so notify TEMPLE in
writing within thirty (30) days of receipt by LICENSEE of said findings, in
which case the parties shall jointly

appoint, within a further period of thirty (30) days, an independent certified
public accountant to validate, at LICENSEE's expense, TEMPLE's accountant's
findings, and the decision of said independent accountant shall be final. If
said independent accountant verifies that an underpayment has occurred, the
amount due and interest (accruing at the prevailing Prime Rate from the date
payment was due through the date of actual payment to TEMPLE) shall be paid to
TEMPLE within thirty (30) days. Should such underpayment represent more than
five percent (5%) of the royalties due TEMPLE, LICENSEE shall reimburse TEMPLE
for the cost of the examination by TEMPLE's accountant that disclosed such
underpayment.

6.4. All payments due to TEMPLE under this Agreement shall be made in United
States dollars and shall be sent by LICENSEE to TEMPLE to the attention of
"Business Manager" at the address shown in Paragraph 14.6. If LICENSEE receives
NET SALES in currency other than United States dollars, royalty payments due to
TEMPLE on account of NET SALES shall be converted into United States dollars at
the conversion rate for the foreign currency as published in the eastern edition
of The Wall Street Journal as of the last business day of the applicable
calendar quarter. However, TEMPLE shall have the right, upon giving written
notice to LICENSEE, to receive royalty payments on account of NET SALES within a
particular country in the local currency if permitted by law.

6.5. If LICENSEE fails to make any payment due to TEMPLE within the time
prescribed by the terms of this Agreement, a penalty equal to one percent (1%)
of the amount due and unpaid on the first day of each calendar month shall be
added to the amount due. However, the provisions of this Paragraph 6.5 shall not
apply to any underpayment of royalties which is uncovered by audit of the books
of LICENSEE or of its SUBLICENSEES pursuant to Paragraph 6.3.

ARTICLE 7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

7.1. TEMPLE represents that it has the right to enter into this Agreement and to
make the herein grant of license under PATENT RIGHTS and TECHNICAL INFORMATION.
TEMPLE further represents that it is the sole and exclusive owner of PATENT
RIGHTS and TECHNICAL INFORMATION, all of which are free and clear of any liens,
charges and encumbrances. To the best of TEMPLE's knowledge, no third party has
expressed to TEMPLE, in writing, that any patent or patent application included
in the PATENT RIGHTS is invalid or unenforceable.

7.2. TEMPLE makes no warranty that exercise by LICENSEE or its SUBLICENSEES of
the rights granted herein will not infringe any patents owned by a third party,
or that any patent application within PATENT RIGHTS will issue as a patent.

7.3. LICENSEE warrants that, prior to the execution of this Agreement, it has
not negotiated or in any manner discussed, whether formally or informally, with
any third party any agreement or other arrangement, including but not limited to
research or consulting agreements, which provides for consideration to be paid
in any form, including but not limited to amounts of money or shares of stock,
to any INVENTOR, any INVENTOR's spouse or other relative, or any entity in which
any of them has a financial interest.



ARTICLE 8. PATENT PROSECUTION AND LITIGATION

8.1. At any time during the OPTION PERIOD, LICENSEE may file on TEMPLE's behalf
an application for a PROJECT PATENT, and such PROJECT PATENT shall be deemed
part of PATENT RIGHTS.

8.2. In consultation with TEMPLE but in LICENSEE's reasonable sole discretion,
LICENSEE shall diligently prosecute all patent applications and maintain all
patents within PATENT RIGHTS, to the full extent permitted by law, provided that
TEMPLE shall in a timely manner receive (i) all original patent documents plus
(ii) full and complete copies of all office actions, correspondence and other
documents relating to such prosecution. TEMPLE shall have the right to prosecute
any patent application in any country in which LICENSEE does not prosecute such
patent application and to maintain any patent within PATENT RIGHTS in any
country in which LICENSEE does not maintain such patent, and such patent
application or patent in that country shall not be part of PATENT RIGHTS;
provided that the rights and obligations of LICENSEE to the same patent
application or patent in any other country or to any other patent application or
patent in any country shall in no way be affected. Except as provided in
Paragraph 8.3, LICENSEE shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by LICENSEE, both prior to and during the term of this
Agreement, in the preparation, filing and prosecution of all patent
applications, and in the maintenance of all patents within PATENT RIGHTS. Such
costs and expenses shall not be creditable against any other payments due to
TEMPLE under this Agreement.

8.3. LICENSEE may give TEMPLE thirty (30) days' prior written notice that it
will stop paying the costs and expenses with respect to any patent application
or patent in any country, in which case TEMPLE, at its option, may assume the
obligation of supporting such patent application or patent in such country, and
LICENSEE's rights and obligations thereto under this Agreement shall terminate
at the end of such thirty (30) day notice period in such country. Termination of
LICENSEE's rights and obligations with respect to any patent application or
patent in any country under the terms set forth in this Paragraph 8.3 shall in
no way affect the rights and obligations of LICENSEE to the same patent
application or patent in any other country or to any other patent application or
patent in any country.

8.4. LICENSEE, at its option, may defend any claim, made by others, of
infringement of PATENT RIGHTS resulting from the manufacture, use, sale or other
disposition of LICENSED PRODUCT, whether such claim shall be made against TEMPLE
or LICENSEE, and in defending such claim, LICENSEE shall bear all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any
such claim. Any such costs and expenses shall be credited against fifty percent
(50%) of royalty payments due to TEMPLE on account of NET SALES of said LICENSED
PRODUCT, pursuant to Paragraph 4.1, in each year during the term of this
Agreement until fully offset. Each party to this Agreement agrees that it shall
notify the other party in writing in the event any claim of infringement is made
against that party. LICENSEE shall have full control over the conduct of the
defense of any such claim and TEMPLE shall provide LICENSEE with all reasonable
assistance and cooperation, at no cost to TEMPLE, that LICENSEE may request in
any such defense.


8.5. In the event either party becomes aware of any actual or threatened
infringement of PATENT RIGHTS in any country, that party shall promptly notify
the other party in writing. LICENSEE shall have the first right to bring an
infringement suit against the infringer and to use TEMPLE's name if legally
required in connection therewith. LICENSEE shall not settle or compromise any
such suit in a manner that imposes any obligations or restrictions on TEMPLE or
grants any rights under PATENT RIGHTS or TECHNICAL INFORMATION, without TEMPLE's
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If LICENSEE
does not proceed with a particular infringement suit or attempt to sublicense
the infringer within ninety (90) days of notification, TEMPLE, after notifying
LICENSEE in writing, shall be entitled to proceed with such suit through counsel
of its choice. The party conducting any suit pursuant to this Paragraph 8.5
shall have full control over its conduct and shall be responsible for all
expenses associated therewith. Each party shall always have the right to be
represented by counsel of its choice and at its own expense in any suit
instituted by the other party for infringement. In any event, the parties shall
provide each other, at the expense of the party bringing suit, with all
reasonable assistance and cooperation requested in any such suit. At the request
and expense of the party bringing suit, the other party shall permit access to
all relevant personnel, records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and
the like during regular business hours. The parties may also jointly participate
in any infringement suit if both parties agree to do so in writing in advance,
and set forth the basis for sharing of expenses.

8.6. The amount of any recovery resulting from an infringement suit or
settlement thereof pursuant to Paragraph 8.5 shall first satisfy the costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such
suit by the party bringing suit ("COSTS AND EXPENSES"). If LICENSEE is the party
bringing suit, any recovery in excess of COSTS AND EXPENSES shall be paid to
LICENSEE and shall be deemed to be NET SALES subject to royalties due to TEMPLE
pursuant to Paragraph 4.1. If TEMPLE is the party bringing suit, any recovery in
excess of COSTS AND EXPENSES shall be paid to TEMPLE. If the parties have agreed
to participate jointly in an infringement suit, any recovery in excess of the
parties' COSTS AND EXPENSES shall be allocated to the parties in the same
proportion as the sharing of COSTS AND EXPENSES, and LICENSEE's allocation shall
be deemed to be NET SALES subject to royalties due to TEMPLE pursuant to
Paragraph 4.1.

ARTICLE 9. INDEMNIFICATION

9.1. LICENSEE agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend TEMPLE, its
trustees, officers, employees and agents against any and all claims, excluding

granted under this Agreement, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
against any damages, losses or liabilities whatsoever including but not limited

LICENSEE, its SUBLICENSEES or any customers of any of them in any manner
whatsoever. TEMPLE shall give LICENSEE written notice of any claim(s)

related to LICENSED PRODUCT within thirty (30) days, and TEMPLE shall reasonably
cooperate with LICENSEE and its insurance carrier in the defense of any such

the activities of LICENSEE and its SUBLICENSEES, if any, contemplated by this
Agreement for minimum limits of two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) per
occurrence. Such insurance shall name TEMPLE, its trustees, officers, employees,
and agents as additional insureds. LICENSEE shall furnish a Certificate of
Insurance, upon request, evidencing coverage of two million dollars
($2,000,000.00) with thirty (30) days of written notice of cancellation or
material change to TEMPLE. LICENSEE's insurance shall be written to cover claims
incurred, discovered, manifested, or made during the term, or after the
