ARTICLE V
ROYALTIES AND REPORTS

5.1. Royalties.

5.1.1 Royalty Payments.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in consideration of the rights granted by CSRO hereunder, ACORDA shall pay to CSRO royalties in an amount equal to [**] of Net Sales in each country in the Territory where the manufacture, use or sale of Product would, absent the license granted hereunder, infringe one or more Valid Claims in such country.

(ii) Royalties on Net Sales at the rate set forth in (i) above shall accrue as of the date of First Commercial Sale of Product in the applicable country and shall continue and accrue on Net Sales on a country-by-country basis until the earlier of (A) the expiration of the last to expire Patent Asset in such country or (B) ten (10) years following the date of First Commercial Sale of Product in such country. Thereafter, ACORDA shall be relieved of any royalty payment under this Agreement.

(iii) The payment of royalties set forth above shall be subject to the following conditions:

(A) only one payment shall be due with respect to the same unit of Product;

(B) no multiple royalties shall be payable because any Product, or its manufacture, sale or use is covered by more than one Valid Claim;

(C) no royalties shall accrue on the disposition of Product by ACORDA, Affiliates or sublicensees as samples (promotion or otherwise) or as donations (for example, to non-profit institutions or government agencies) or to clinical trials or for research and and/or development; and

(D) CSRO shall be responsible for payment of any royalties or other obligations owed by CSRO to any Third Party, including without limitation, pursuant to the Inter-Institutional Agreement.

5.1.2 Affiliate and Sublicensee Sales. In the event that ACORDA transfers Compound or Product to one of its Affiliates or sublicensees, there shall be no royalty due at the time of transfer. Subsequent sales of Product by the Affiliates or sublicensees to Third Parties such as patients, hospitals, medical institutions, health plans or funds, wholesalers (which are not sublicensees), pharmacies or other retailers, shall be reported as Net Sales hereunder.

5.1.3 Compulsory Licenses. If a compulsory license is granted to a Third Party with respect to Product in any country in the Territory with a royalty rate lower than the royalty rate provided by Section 5.1.1, then the royalty rate to be paid by ACORDA on Net Sales in that country under Section 5.1.1 shall be reduced to the rate paid by the compulsory Third Party licensee.

5.1.4 Combination Product. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1.1, in the event a Product is sold as a combination product with other biologically active components, Net Sales, for purposes of royalty payments on the combination product, shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of that combination product by the fraction A/B, where A is the gross selling price of the Product sold separately and B is the gross selling price of the combination product. If no such separate sales are made by ACORDA or its Affiliates or sublicensees, Net Sales for royalty determination shall be calculated by multiplying Net Sales of the combination product by the fraction C/(C+D), where C (excluding the fully allocated cost of the other biologically active component in question) is the fully allocated cost of the Compound and D is the fully allocated cost of such other biologically active components.

5.2. Reports; Payment of Royalty. During the term of the Agreement for so long as royalty payments are due, ACORDA shall furnish to CSRO a written report for each Calendar Quarter showing the Net Sales of all Products subject to royalty payments during the

reporting period and the royalties payable to CSRO under this Agreement. Reports shall be due on the forty-fifth (45^th) day following the close of each Calendar Quarter. Royalties shown to have accrued by each royalty report, if any, shall be due and payable on the date such report is due. ACORDA shall keep complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the royalties hereunder to be determined. ACORDA shall retain such records for twenty-four (24) months after the submission of the corresponding report.

5.3. Audits. Upon the written request of CSRO and not more than once during the twelve (12) month period next following the expiration of each Royalty Year during the term of the Agreement, ACORDA shall, at CSRO’s expense, permit an independent certified public accounting firm selected by CSRO and reasonably acceptable to ACORDA to have access during normal business hours, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to ACORDA, to such of the records of ACORDA as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports hereunder for any Royalty Year ending not more than twenty-four (24) months prior to the date of such request. The accounting firm shall disclose to CSRO only whether the royalty reports are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. This Section 5.3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of two years.

5.3.1 If such accounting firm concludes that additional royalties were owed during such period, ACORDA shall promptly pay the additional royalties within sixty (60) days of the date CSRO delivers to ACORDA such accounting firm’s written report so concluding; provided however, that, in the event that ACORDA shall not be in agreement with the conclusion of such report (a) ACORDA shall not be required to pay such additional royalties and (b) such matter shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.7 herein. In the event such accounting firm concludes that amounts were overpaid by ACORDA during such period, CSRO shall repay ACORDA the amount of such overpayment within sixty (60) days of the date CSRO delivers to ACORDA such accounting firm’s written report so concluding, provided, however, that, in the event that CSRO shall not be in agreement with the conclusion of such report (a) CSRO shall not be required to repay such overpayment and (b) such matter shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.7 herein. The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by CSRO; provided, however, that if an error in favor of CSRO of more than the greater of (i) $100,000 or (ii) ten percent (10%) of the royalties due hereunder for the period being reviewed is discovered, then the fees and expenses of the accounting firm shall be paid by ACORDA. Payments of additional royalties under this Section 5.3.1 shall be made with interest from the date such amounts were due, at the prime rate reported by Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, New York.

5.3.2 Upon the expiration of twenty-four (24) months following the end of any Royalty Year the calculation of royalties payable with respect to such year shall be binding and conclusive upon CSRO, and ACORDA shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect to royalties for such year.

5.3.3 CSRO shall treat all financial information subject to review under this Section 5.3. in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

5.4. Payment Exchange Rate. All payments to CSRO under this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars. In the case of sales outside the United States, the rate of exchange to be used in computing Net Sales shall be calculated monthly in accordance with the conversion rates published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern edition (if available).

5.5. Tax Withholding. If laws, rules or regulations require withholding of income taxes or other taxes imposed upon payments set forth in this Article V, CSRO shall provide ACORDA, prior to any such payment, annually or more frequently if required, with all forms or documentation required by any applicable taxation laws, treaties or agreements to such withholding or as necessary to claim a benefit thereunder (including, but not limited to Form W-8BEN or any successor forms) and ACORDA shall make such withholding payments as required and subtract such withholding payments from the payments set forth in this Article V. ACORDA will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its usual business practices and cooperate with CSRO to ensure that any withholding taxes imposed are reduced as far as possible under the provisions of the current or any future taxation treaties or agreements between foreign countries.

5.6. Exchange Controls. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all of the royalties with respect to Net Sales in any country, payment shall be made through such lawful means or methods as ACORDA may determine. When in any country the law or regulations prohibit both the transmittal and deposit of royalties on sales in such a country, royalty payments shall be suspended for as long as such prohibition is in effect (and such suspended payments shall not accrue interest), and promptly after such prohibition ceases to be in effect, all royalties or other payments that ACORDA or its Affiliates would have been obligated to transmit or deposit, but for the prohibition, shall be deposited or transmitted, as the case may be, to the extent allowable (with any interest earned on such suspended royalties which were placed in an interest-bearing bank account in that country, less any transactional costs). If the royalty rate specified in this Agreement should exceed the permissible rate established in any country, the royalty rate for sales in such country shall be adjusted to the highest legally permissible or government-approved rate.

5.7. Other Payments. The parties hereto acknowledge that, in further consideration of the rights granted by CSRO hereunder, ACORDA had issued to CSRO on the Effective Date warrants, dated August 9, 1995, to purchase up to an aggregate of [**] shares of common stock of ACORDA which warrants have since been exercised in full.

ARTICLE VII
PATENT MATTERS

7.1. Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Applications or Patents. ACORDA shall file, prosecute and maintain the Patent Assets in CSRO’s name and shall be responsible for the payment of all patent prosecution and maintenance costs. Upon ACORDA’s request, CSRO shall reasonably cooperate in the filing, prosecution or maintenance of such patent application or patent. If ACORDA elects not to file, prosecute or maintain a patent application or patent included in the Patent Assets, it shall provide CSRO with written advance notice sufficient to avoid any loss or forfeiture, and CSRO shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its sole expense, to file, prosecute or maintain such patent application or patent in CSRO’s name. Thereafter, ACORDA’s royalty obligations related to that Patent Asset shall terminate and such patent or patent application shall no longer be deemed a Patent Asset. The responsible Party under this Section 7.1 shall solicit the other Party’s review of the nature and text of such patent applications and important prosecution matters related thereto in reasonably sufficient time prior to filing thereof, and the responsible Party shall take into account the other Party’s reasonable comments related thereto. ACORDA shall inform CSRO of any significant developments in the prosecution of pending patent applications included in the Patent Assets, including the issuance of any final office actions, allowance of claims, or grant of any domestic or foreign patent based thereon.

7.2. Patent Office Proceedings. Each Party shall inform the other Party of any request for, filing, or declaration of any proceeding before a patent office seeking to protest, oppose, cancel, reexamine, declare an interference proceeding, initiate a conflicts proceeding, or analogous process involving a patent application or patent included in the Patent Assets. ACORDA shall have the option to conduct any such proceedings relating to the Patent Assets, and may offset any expenses incurred therein against royalties due to CSRO

under this Agreement. Each Party thereafter shall cooperate with the other with respect to any such patent office proceedings.

7.3. Enforcement and Defense.

(a) Each Party shall promptly give the other Party notice of any infringement in the Territory of any patent application or patent included in the Patent Assets that comes to such Party’s attention. The Parties will thereafter consult and cooperate fully to determine a course of action, including, without limitation, the commencement of legal action by any Party. However, ACORDA shall have the first right to initiate and prosecute such legal action and in the name of CSRO and ACORDA, or to control the defense of any declaratory judgment action relating to Patent Assets. The initiation and prosecution of such legal action will be at ACORDA’s expense; provided, however, that ACORDA shall be entitled to offset fifty percent (50%) of amounts expended in connection with such action against royalties due to CSRO under this Agreement. ACORDA shall promptly inform CSRO if ACORDA elects not to exercise such first right, and CSRO thereafter shall have the right either to initiate and prosecute such action or to control the defense of such declaratory judgment action in the name of CSRO and, if necessary, ACORDA. In no event shall ACORDA be obligated to enforce or defend any of the Patent Assets.

(b) If ACORDA elects not to initiate and prosecute an infringement or defend a declaratory judgment action in any country in the Territory as provided in Subsection 7.3 (a), and CSRO elects to do so, the cost of any agreed-upon course of action, including the costs of any legal action commenced or any declaratory judgment action defended, shall be borne solely by CSRO.

(c) For any such legal action or defense, in the event that any Party is unable to initiate, prosecute, or defend such action solely in its own name, the other Party will join such action voluntarily and will execute all documents necessary for the Party to prosecute, defend and maintain such action. In connection with any such action, the Parties will cooperate and will provide each other with any information or assistance that either reasonably may request.

(d) Any recovery obtained by ACORDA or CSRO shall be shared as follows:

(i) the Party that initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action shall recoup all of its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the action, whether the recovery is by settlement or otherwise;

(ii) the other Party then shall, to the extent possible, recover its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the action;

(iii) if CSRO initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action, the amount of any recovery remaining then shall be retained by CSRO; and

7.4. Patent Term Extensions or Restorations and Supplemental Protection Certificates. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in obtaining patent term extensions or restorations or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in any country in the Territory where applicable and where desired by ACORDA.

notify ACORDA of (a) the issuance of each U.S. patent included within the Patent Assets, giving the date of issue and patent number for each such patent, and (b) each notice pertaining to any patent included within the Patent Assets pursuant to the United States Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (hereinafter called the “1984 Act”), including notices pursuant to §§ 101 and 103 of the 1984 Act from persons who have filed an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”). Such notices shall be given promptly, but in any event within five (5) calendar days of each such patent’s date of issue or receipt of each such notice pursuant to the 1984 Act, whichever is applicable. The Party responsible for filing shall notify the other Party of each filing for patent term extension or restoration under the 1984 Act, any allegations of failure to show due diligence and all awards of patent term restoration (extensions) with respect to the Patent Assets. Likewise, the responsible Party shall inform the other Party of patent extensions in the rest of the world regarding any Product.

This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 9.2 and 9.3 below, the term of this Agreement shall continue in effect until expiration of all royalty or other payment obligations hereunder. Expiration of this Agreement shall not preclude ACORDA from continuing to make, use or sell Product in the Territory without further compensation to CSRO.

9.2. Termination by Notice. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, ACORDA shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time by giving thirty (30) days advance written notice to CSRO. Except as set forth in this Agreement, in the event of such termination, (i) the rights and obligations hereunder, excluding any payment obligation that has accrued as of the termination date and excluding rights and obligations relating to confidentiality, shall terminate immediately, and (ii) the provisions of Section 9.4 shall be applicable.

9.3. Termination.

9.3.1 Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement by notice to the other Party at any time during the term of this Agreement as follows:

(a) if the other Party is in breach of any material obligation hereunder by causes and reasons within its control, or has breached, in any material respect, any representations or warranties set forth in Article VI, and has not cured such breach within ninety (90) days after notice requesting cure of the breach, provided, however, that if the breach is not capable of being cured within ninety (90) days of such written notice, the Agreement may not be terminated so long as the breaching Party commences and is taking commercially reasonable actions to cure such breach as promptly as practicable; or

(b) upon the filing or institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment of a substantial portion of the assets for the benefit of creditors by the other Party; provided, however, in the case of any involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or assignment proceeding such right to terminate shall only become effective if the Party consents to the involuntary proceeding or such proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof.

9.3.2 Licensee Rights Not Affected.

(a) In the event ACORDA terminates this Agreement under Section 9.3.1(b), or this Agreement is otherwise terminated under Section 9.3.1(b), or CSRO is a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, all rights and licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that ACORDA and CSRO shall retain and may fully exercise all of their respective rights, remedies and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against CSRO under the Bankruptcy Code, ACORDA shall be entitled to all applicable rights under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, including but

not limited to, entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property upon written request therefor by ACORDA.

(b) In the event ACORDA is a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, all rights and licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, executory contracts. The Parties agree that applicable law does not excuse CSRO from accepting performance by, or rendering performance under this Agreement and all rights and licenses granted hereunder to, a person or entity other than ACORDA.

9.4. Effect of Expiration or Termination. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination.

In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement which by their terms continue after the expiration of this Agreement, the provisions of Article IV shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and shall continue in effect for five (5) years from the date of expiration or termination and the provisions of Articles VIII and X shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Upon any termination of this Agreement, each party shall promptly return to the other party all Proprietary Information received from the other party (except one copy of which may be retained for archival purposes). In addition, any other provision required to interpret and enforce the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement shall also survive, but only to the extent required for the full observation and performance of this Agreement.

Except as expressly set forth herein, the rights to terminate as set forth herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available under this Agreement, at law, or in equity, or otherwise.

Any permitted assignee shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement.

10.4. Severability. In the event that any of the provisions contained in this Agreement are held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless the absence of the invalidated provision(s) adversely affect the substantive rights of the Parties.

10.6. Applicable Law. The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and State of New York without reference to any rules of conflict of laws.

10.7. Dispute Resolution.

(a) The Parties agree to attempt initially to solve all claims, disputes, or controversies arising under, out of, or in connection with this Agreement (a “Dispute”) by conducting good faith negotiations. Any Disputes which cannot be resolved by good faith negotiation within twenty (20) Business Days, shall be referred, by written notice from either Party to the other, to the Chief Executive Officer of each Party. Such Chief Executive Officers shall negotiate in good faith to achieve a resolution of the Dispute referred to them within twenty (20) Business Days after such notice is received by the Party to whom the notice was sent. If the Chief Executive Officers are unable to settle the Dispute between themselves within twenty (20) Business Days, they shall so report to the Parties in writing. The Dispute shall then be referred to mediation as set forth in the following subsection

(b) Upon the Parties receiving the Chief Executive Officers’ report that the Dispute referred to them pursuant to subsection (a) has not been resolved, the Dispute shall be referred to mediation by written notice from either Party to the other. The mediation shall be conducted pursuant to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) procedures. The place of the mediation shall be New York, New York. If the Parties have not reached a settlement within twenty (20) Business Days of the date of the notice of mediation, the Dispute shall be referred to arbitration pursuant to subsection (c) below.

(c) If after the procedures set forth in subsections (a) and (b) above, the Dispute has not been resolved, a Party shall decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall give written notice to that effect to the other Party. The Parties shall refrain from instituting the arbitration proceedings for a period of sixty (60) days following such notice. During such period, the Parties shall continue to make good faith efforts to amicably resolve the dispute without arbitration. If the Parties have not reached a settlement during that period the arbitration proceedings shall go forward and be governed by the AAA rules then in force. Each such arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators: one arbitrator shall be appointed by each of ACORDA and CSRO and the third arbitrator, who shall be the Chairman of the tribunal, shall be appointed by the two-Party appointed arbitrators. Any such arbitration shall be held in New York, New York, USA.

(d) The arbitrators shall have the authority to direct the Parties as to the manner in which the Parties shall resolve the disputed issues, to render a final decision with respect to such disputed issues, or to grant specific performance with respect to any such disputed issue. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to preclude either Party from seeking provisional remedies, including but not limited to, temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, from any court of competent jurisdiction, in order to protect its rights pending arbitration, but such preliminary relief shall not be sought as a means of avoiding arbitration. In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with any arbitration proceeding and the Parties shall equally share the cost of the mediation and arbitration levied by the AAA.

Any mediation or arbitration proceeding entered into pursuant to this Section 10.6 shall be conducted in the English language. Subject to the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, each Party consents, for itself and its Affiliates, to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, county of New York and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

10.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous writings and understandings, including without limitation, the 1995 Agreement. The Parties agree that the 1995 Agreement is hereby terminated, and notwithstanding anything contained therein to the contrary, is of no further force or effect. This Agreement may be amended, or any term hereof modified, only by a written instrument duly executed by all Parties hereto.

10.9. Independent Contractors. It is expressly agreed that the Parties shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither Party shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other Party, without the prior consent of such other Party.

10.10. Waiver. The waiver by a Party hereto of any right hereunder or the failure to perform or of a breach by another Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

10.11. Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time on and after the Effective Date, CSRO shall at the request of ACORDA (i) deliver to ACORDA such records, data or other documents consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) execute, and deliver or cause to be delivered, all such consents, documents or further instruments of

transfer or license, and (iii) take or cause to be taken all such actions as ACORDA may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order for ACORDA to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.12. Headings. The captions to the several Articles and Sections hereof are not a part of the Agreement, but are merely guides or labels to assist in locating and reading the several Articles and Sections hereof.

10.13. Counterparts. The Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.14. Use of Names Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall use the name of the other Party in relation to this transaction in any public announcement, press release or other public document without the consent of such other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that either Party may use the name of the other Party in any document required to be filed to obtain Regulatory Approval or to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations.

10.15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
