all Royalties otherwise owed during a particular royalty period hereunder, which
are allowable by the law, provided that any restrictions that may be imposed by

headquarters or elsewhere.

report provided for under Article 6 of this Agreement shall be due and payable
on the date such Royalty Report is due. Payment of royalties in whole or in part

to verify the accuracy of the Burdened Costs furnished by Cellegy hereunder in
respect of any year ending not more than one (1) year following the end of
Cellegy's fiscal year, the calculation of Burdened costs payable to respect of
such year shall be binding and conclusive upon Licensee, its Affiliates and

further forty-five (45) days from receipt of the notice, the parties agree to

INFRINGEMENT AND OTHER CLAIMS
9.1 Infringement by Third Person. In the event Cellegy or Licensee have
reason to believe that a Third Person may be infringing Patent Rights or
Proprietary Rights or misappropriating any of the Licensed Products, or
infringing, misappropriating or diluting any Licensed Trademark, such party
shall promptly notify the other party. Cellegy may, in its discretion, elect to
enforce the Licensed Products, Proprietary Rights or Cellegy Trademarks, through
legal action or otherwise, and Licensee agrees to reasonably cooperate with
Cellegy in such enforcement. At all times in any such enforcement action,
Cellegy shall be entitled to retain recovery which may be obtained in any
lawsuit brought by Cellegy. In the event Cellegy elects not to enforce the
Patent Rights relating to the Licensed Product within one (1) month after notice
of the possible infringement is given between Cellegy and Licensee, and Licensee
can demonstrate that the potential infringement may result in material lost
sales of the Licensed Product within the applicable country, then Licensee may
institute a lawsuit or other such actions at its expense to prevent continuation
of such potential infringement, and then (1) Licensee may discontinue the
payment in such country by 50% during the suit, until such time as the
infringement of the Patent Rights relating to the Licensed Patents ceases, (2)
Licensee will retain all award, damages or compensation obtained by Licensee in
such suit in full, and (3) Cellegy will provide reasonable cooperation with
respect to any lawsuit which Licensee may bring pursuant to this Article.

a Third Person arising from Licensee's use, sale, offer for sale, or importing
of the Licensed Product or any improved Product or use of Proprietary Rights,
Licensee shall provide to Cellegy all information in Licensee's possession
regarding such claim or lawsuit. Within a reasonable time after receiving notice
of such claim or lawsuit, but in any event within forty five (45) days after
receiving such notice, Cellegy shall advise Licensee of Cellegy's decision as to
what action it plans to take to dispose of such claim or defend such lawsuit.
(b) Cellegy shall defend, indemnify and hold Licensee harmless
against any judgment, damage, liability, loss, cost or other, expense (including
reasonable legal fees) resulting from any claim or lawsuit which relates to or
arises out of the alleged infringement by Licensee of any patent owned by a
Third Person to the extent that the alleged infringement relates to actions
covered by the Exclusive License granted to Licensee.
(c) If Cellegy elects not to dispose of such claim or defend such
lawsuit, Licensee may defend the claim or lawsuit. For purposes of Licensee's
conduct of the disposition or defense, Cellegy shall furnish to Licensee such
reasonable assistance as Licensee may need and from time to time reasonable
request. If Licensee takes on the disposition of a claim or defense of a lawsuit
for which Cellegy is obligated to indemnify Licensee pursuant to this Article,
then the payments for such Licensed
--14--
REDACTED COPY
Product in such country, which would otherwise be payable to Cellegy hereunder,
shall be reduced by 50% during the pendency of such lawsuit or any appeal taken
from it, provided that such reduction shall not occur in the event that, in the
opinion of Cellegy's counsel, the defense of such claim is unwarranted. Upon
final resolution of the above-described claim, lawsuit and/or appeal, Licensee
shall resume paying Cellegy any royalties or license payments payable hereunder,
but in no event shall Licensee be liable for back royalties otherwise reduced
hereunder during the suit.
(d) If Licensee becomes obligated to pay royalties to any Third
Person, in order to make, have made, or sell the Licensed Product in the
Territory, said royalties shall be creditable against royalties otherwise
payable to Cellegy hereunder; provided, that no such credit shall be allowed
with respect to any royalty paid for the use of any technology, method, process,
device, or equipment in connection with manufacturing, packaging or any
container or delivery system, or the use of any trademark, that was developed by
Licensee, any Affiliate of Licensee or any sublicensee, or obtained from a Third
Person.
9.3 By Cellegy. Cellegy shall defend, indemnify and hold Licensee harmless
against any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense, including reasonable legal
fees ("Liability") arising out of or resulting from any Third Person claims or
lawsuits made or brought against Licensee, any Affiliate of Licensee or
sublicensee, or any of their respective employees, agents, or contractors, to
the extent such Liability arises out off or relates to (i) negligence or willful
misconduct of Cellegy, or any of this employees, agents or contractors, with

Party in any country of the Territory in which Cellegy has a patent application

based on action or inaction of Cellegy, (iv) Cellegy's breach of, or failure to

contractors, with regard to the promotion, labeling, distribution or sale of,
the Licensed Product, and Improved Product, or the use of the Proprietary
Rights; or (ii)breach of, or failure to perform or comply with, any of its
representations, warranties, covenants and obligations under this Agreement, or
(iii) any material failure of Licensee or any of its employees, agents or
contractors to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation.
9.5 Conditions to Indemnification. The indemnified party shall: (i) advise
the indemnifying party of any claim or lawsuit, in writing promptly, after the
indemnified party has received notice of said claim or lawsuit and (ii) assist
the indemnifying party and its representatives in the investigation and defense
of any claim and/or lawsuit for which indemnification is provided. The agreement
of the parties to indemnify each other shall not be valid as to any settlement
of a claim or lawsuit or offer of settlement or compromise without the prior
written approval of the indemnifying party. Failure of the indemnified party to
provide the notice described in (i) shall affect the indemnifying party's
obligation to indemnify the indemnified party only to the extent the
indemnifying party's rights are prejudiced by such failure.

9.6 Control of Proceedings. In actions in which one or both of Licensee
and Cellegy is named as a defendant, neither party shall assert a crossclaim or
third-party claim against the other party for either contribution or indemnity
in that action, but each agrees and reserves the right to fully litigate such
claims for indemnity and contribution at a later time. Further, neither party
will pursue a litigation strategy of affirmatively asserting the fault or
liability of the other party as opposed to simply demonstrating the absence of
their own fault. Each party will provide its own defense; provided, however,
that Cellegy has the right, at any time, subject to the rights and obligations
set forth below, to assume the defense of any action against Licensee.
9.7 Indemnification Claim. If, at the conclusion of an action, either
party believes it is entitled to contribution or indemnification under the
provisions above, such party shall give the other written notice of its claim
for contribution or indemnification (the "Indemnification Claim"). The party who
receives the Indemnification Claim shall have thirty (30) business days in which
to respond. In the event the parties cannot agree on the validity or amount of
the Indemnification Claim, then the parties shall submit their dispute to
confidential mediation, in accordance with Section 16.17. Neither party may
assert the statute of limitations as a defense to the claim for contribution or
indemnification unless the limitations period had already expired and would have
barred the underlying action against that party at the time the underlying
action was filed.
9.8 Assumption of Defense by Cellegy. In the event Cellegy exercises its
right to assume the defense of an action against Licensee, Cellegy shall have
the exclusive right to control the defense (including all decisions relating to
litigation, defense and appeal) of any Claim related to Licensee as described by
Section 9.6.In such instances the Licensee shall have the right to retain its
own counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in such defense. With
respect to settlement, Cellegy shall obtain Licensee's consent to any settlement
of a Claim, related to Licensee as described in Section 9.6, prior to settlement
of such claim, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Cellegy
requests Licensee's cooperation, Licensee shall reasonably cooperate with
Cellegy in its defense of the Claim, related to Licensee as described in Section
9.6 (including, without limitation, making documents and records available for
review and copying and making persons within its control available for
interview, trial preparation assistance and testimony) and Cellegy shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses associated with Licensee's cooperation.

any such registrations, and hereby does assign all of its right, title and
interest in and to each such application, and any resulting registration, to
Cellegy, and shall execute all papers and documents necessary to effectuate or
confirm any such assignment. Licensee shall perform all reasonable and necessary
acts and execute all necessary documents to affect the registration of the
Trademark as Cellegy may request, all at Cellegy's sole expense. Licensee shall
not obtain or attempt to obtain in the Territory, or elsewhere, any right, title
or interest, registration, or otherwise, in or to the Trademark, or any of them.

Licensee in contravention hereof, Licensee shall hold the same on behalf of
Cellegy and shall transfer the same to Cellegy upon request and without expense
to Cellegy.

thereto which comes to its attention. Cellegy shall have the sole right to

infringement, and Licensee shall not institute any suit or take any action on
account of any such infringement or imitation without first obtaining the
written consent of Cellegy to do so.

Agreement, Licensee shall cease using the Trademark in any manner, either
similar or dissimilar to the use enumerated above.

trademark usage and cooperative advertising policies. Cellegy agrees to provide
copies of such policies to Licensee. Licensee agrees not to attach any
additional trademarks, trade names, logos or designations to any Licensed
Product except in compliance with such policies or otherwise with Cellegy's
prior written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed..
Licensee further agrees not to use any Cellegy trademark, trade name, logo or
designation in connection with any products other than the Licensed Product.
Licensee will include on each Licensed Product that it distributes, and on all
containers and storage media therefor, all trademark, copyright and other

Trademark which Licensee or its Sublicensees prepare, but need not seek prior
approval for subsequent uses of such materials that are in compliance with
Cellegy's policies. Licensee shall also submit to Cellegy for its prior written
approval any such materials that may not be consistent with Cellegy's
intellectual property policies in effect from time to time, and Cellegy shall
use all reasonable efforts to respond promptly to give its approval or indicate
the respects in which changes are required in light of Cellegy's policies.

(a) Mediation. If a controversy or claim arising out of or relating
to this Agreement (hereinafter "Controversy") cannot be resolved through

Controversy through mediation before resorting to litigations.
(1) Either Party may invoke mediation at any time during
negotiations by notifying the other party in writing (the "Mediation Notice")
that it wishes to appoint a mediator. If the Parties cannot agree on a mediator
within 30 days of the receipt of the Mediation Notice (or such longer time as
may be mutually agreed), the Parties agree to submit the Controversy to the
American Arbitration Association (hereinafter "AAA") for mediation under its
Commercial Mediation Rules, to the extent that those rules are not inconsistent
with this Section.
(2) Mediation shall be conducted within 30 days of the
agreement of the mediator to conduct the mediation, or such longer time as may
be agreed by the parties. It shall be conducted in Chicago, Illinois at such
location as may be mutually agreeable to the Parties and shall continue for no
longer than two consecutive business days, ending by 5 pm of the second day.
(3) The parties agree that each will be represented at each
mediation session by a person with full authority to settle the Controversy.
(4) All fees and expenses of the mediation shall be borne by
the parties equally. However, each party shall bear the expense of its own
counsel, representatives, preparation and attendance.
(5) Neither party may commence litigation until the parties
have conducted and ended mediation. In the event that the provisions of this
subsection (b) would result in an otherwise timely claim being barred by an
applicable statue of limitations, then the parties agree to toll the application
of the statute of limitations for a period equal to the delay caused by the
mediation.
(6) In the event that a controversy cannot be resolved through
mediation, each Party shall thereafter have the right to pursue any and all
remedies available at law or in equity.
(b) Venue. Any court proceeding instituted my one party against the other
with respect to this Agreement may be commenced in the federal courts residing
in the Southern District of New York or in the Northern District of California.
