Research Program who shall have access to the other party's Confidential
Information are bound by agreement to maintain such information in confidence.
4.2 Publication. Section 4.1 hereof to the contrary
notwithstanding, the results obtained in the course of the Research Program
(including, without limitation, such results obtained by Vanderbilt under the
Vanderbilt Agreement) may be submitted for publication following scientific
review by the Joint Management Committee or any other committee charged with
such review and subsequent approval by OSI's and Tanabe's management. After
receipt of the proposed publication by Tanabe's and OSI's management, written
approval or disapproval shall be provided within 30 days for a manuscript,
within 30 days for an abstract for presentation at, or inclusion in the
proceedings of, a scientific meeting, and within 30 days for a transcript of an
oral presentation to be given at a scientific meeting. If any patentable
Technology is included in such publication or scientific meeting, the disclosure
thereof shall be delayed up to 90 additional days from the scheduled publication
date for the purpose of filing a patent application. The contribution of each
party shall be noted in all publications or presentations by acknowledgment or
co-authorship, whichever is appropriate. OSI shall undertake that Vanderbilt's
publication rights are restricted to the same extent as OSI is obligated
hereunder.
4.3 Press Release. Except as required by law, no party
may disclose the existence of this Agreement nor the research described in it
except with the written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Neither party will issue a press release with
regard to matters relating to this Agreement without the other party's consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The party desiring to make any
such press release or other disclosure shall provide the other party with a
written copy of the proposed
33
42
announcement or disclosure in sufficient time prior to the proposed press
release to allow such other party to comment upon the nature, text and timing of
such announcement or disclosure prior to the proposed press release.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, OSI may disclose the existence or the content of
this Agreement to Vanderbilt in order to enter into the Vanderbilt Agreement;
provided, however, that OSI shall obligate Vanderbilt at least under the same
degree of confidentiality and non-use obligation as OSI is obligated hereunder.
4.4 Restrictions on Transferring Materials. Tanabe and
OSI recognize that the Materials which are part of OSI Technology, Tanabe
Technology or Improvements represent valuable commercial assets. Therefore,
throughout the Contract Period and for ** thereafter (unless the other party
consents thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
each of OSI and Tanabe agrees not to transfer to any Third Party any such
Materials which constitute Technology owned solely by the other party to this
Agreement; provided, however, that OSI may transfer any such Materials to
Vanderbilt to the extent necessary in order for OSI to perform its obligations
under this Agreement and to the extent Vanderbilt is obligated at least under
the same degree of confidentiality and non-use obligation as OSI is obligated
hereunder. Additionally, throughout the Contract Period and for ** thereafter,
OSI and Tanabe agree not to transfer to any Third Party any Materials which are
part of the Improvements (except that OSI may transfer any such Materials to
Vanderbilt to
- -------------------
** This portion has been redacted pursuant to a request for confidential
treatment.
34
43
the extent necessary in order for OSI to perform its obligations under this
Agreement), unless prior consent for any such transfer is obtained from the
other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and
unless such Third Party agrees as a condition of any such transfer not to
transfer the Materials further and to use the Materials only for academic
purposes not directed toward the development of compounds or products.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the party granted the right to sublicense
pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof shall be permitted to supply Materials to any
sublicensees of the Products (including potential sublicensees) to the extent
necessary or useful to exercise the sublicense rights granted to it under
Section 5.1.
4.5 Permitted Use of Confidential Information. Nothing
contained herein will in any way restrict or impair any party's right to use,
disclose or otherwise deal with any Confidential Information which:
(a) at the time of disclosure is
properly in the public domain or thereafter becomes part of the public domain by
publication or otherwise through no breach of this Agreement by the party
receiving such information;
(b) the party receiving such
information can establish by competent evidence that such information was
properly in its possession prior to the time of the disclosure;
(c) is independently and properly made
available as a matter of right to the party receiving such information by a
Third Party (including, for purposes of this subsection sublicensees) who is not
thereby in violation of a confidential relationship;
(d) is information which is required to
be included in patent applications filed hereunder or required to be provided to
a government agency in order to obtain approvals to market Products; provided,
however, that Tanabe Confidential Information or OSI Confidential Information
shall not be disclosed in any such patent application or otherwise
35
44
without the prior written consent of Tanabe or OSI, respectively, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
(e) is information which is required to
be disclosed to customers, users and prescribers of a Product, or which is
reasonably necessary to disclose in connection with the marketing of a Product;
or
(f) is information required to be
disclosed by law or by a court order or by competent authorities, in each of
which cases the disclosing party shall timely inform the other and use its best
efforts to limit the disclosure and maintain confidentiality to the extent
possible and will permit the other party to limit such disclosure.
5. Licenses and Royalties
5.1 Grant of Licenses.
5.1.1 Option to Tanabe. OSI hereby grants to
Tanabe an exclusive option, exercisable at any time during the Contract Period
and the Remaining Right Period, prior to commencement of the Early Development
Phase, to acquire, with respect to a Lead Compound, a worldwide exclusive
license, including the right to sublicense, under the OSI Technology, the OSI
Patents and OSI and/or Vanderbilt's rights in the Improvements and Joint Patents
to develop, have developed, make, have made, use, sell and have sold Products,
which license shall be exclusive (even as to OSI) (a) for so long as Tanabe is
obligated to pay a royalty under Section 5.5.1 hereof and (b) thereafter in
accordance with Section 5.2 hereof. The terms of any such license are set forth
in Sections 5.2 through 5.5 hereof. The option granted by OSI under this Section
5.1.1 shall automatically be deemed to be exercised by Tanabe by its decision to
initiate the Early Development Phase with respect to a Lead Compound.
5.1.2 License to OSI. In the event that (a) a Seed
Compound meets the criteria of a Lead Compound as set forth on Exhibit B and
Tanabe does not determine to initiate,
36
45
directly or through its Affiliates or sublicensees, the Early Development Phase
with respect to such Lead Compound within ** following the transfer of the
Materials of the Lead Compound after the identification thereof by OSI and/or
Vanderbilt, or (b) Tanabe fails to commence, directly or through its Affiliates
or sublicensees, the Clinical Development and Marketing Phase with respect to a
Lead Compound within ** following completion of all of the Phase II clinical
trials for such Lead Compound unless such failure is beyond the reasonable
control of Tanabe, the exclusive option or exclusive license, as the case may
be, with respect to such Lead Compound, including, without limitation, the right
to complete development and the right to market a Product, shall revert to OSI
and Tanabe shall grant to OSI a worldwide exclusive license, including the right
to sublicense, under the Tanabe Technology, the Tanabe Patents and the Tanabe
rights in the Improvements and Joint Patents to develop, have developed, make,
have made, use, sell and have sold Products, which such license shall be
exclusive (even as to Tanabe) (a) for so long as OSI is obligated to pay a
royalty under Section 5.5.2 hereof and (b) thereafter in accordance with Section
5.2 hereof. The terms of any such license are set forth in Sections 5.2 through
5.5 hereof.
5.2 Paid-Up License. Provided that Tanabe or OSI, as the
case may be, has satisfied all of its obligations to pay royalties hereunder
with respect to a Product, such party shall have a paid-up exclusive
royalty-free license to manufacture, have manufactured, use, sell
- -------------------
** This portion has been redacted pursuant to a request for confidential
treatment.
37
46
and have sold such Product in each country after the expiration of such party's
last obligation to pay royalties on its Net Sales of such Product in such
country.
5.3 Obligations to Exploit the Products. Either Tanabe or
OSI, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts
to exploit the Products. This requirement shall be deemed satisfied if such
party uses substantially the same degree of diligence it uses with respect to
products of similar commercial potential developed by such party outside of this
Agreement.
5.4 Sublicenses. If either Tanabe or OSI grants a
sublicense pursuant to Section 5, such party shall guarantee that any
sublicensee fulfills all of its obligations under this Agreement. In the event
Tanabe or OSI grants sublicenses under Section 5 to others to develop, have
developed, make, have made, use, sell or have sold Products, such sublicenses
shall include an obligation of the sublicensees to account for and report all
Net Sales of Products on the same basis as if such sales were Net Sales of
Products by such party, and such party shall pay royalties to the other party
under this Agreement as if the Net Sales of the sublicensee were Net Sales of
the sublicensor.
5.5 Royalty Payments, Accounting for Royalties, Records
and Withholding Tax.
5.5.1 Royalty Payments by Tanabe. Tanabe shall pay
to OSI a royalty of (a) ** of the Net Sales made by Tanabe, its Affiliates and
sublicensees of each Tanabe Product, and (b) ** of the Net Sales made by Tanabe,
its Affiliates and sublicensees of each OSI Product. Tanabe shall continue to
pay royalties on Net Sales of each Product on a country-
- -------------------
** This portion has been redacted pursuant to a request for confidential
treatment.
38
47
by-country basis so long as the manufacture, use and/or sale of such Product
would infringe a Valid Claim of an OSI Patent or a Joint Patent with respect to
such Product in such country or for ** following the date of first commercial
sale of such Product, whichever is longer. Upon the request of OSI, Tanabe will,
at its option, identify OSI on the packaging of all Products on which Tanabe is
obligated to pay royalties, subject to legal and commercial requirements on a
country-by-country basis and in a manner in accordance with such legal and
commercial requirements.
5.5.2 Royalty Payments by OSI. In the event that
the exclusive option or the exclusive license, as the case may be, with respect
to a Lead Compound revert to OSI and OSI is granted the license set forth in
Section 5.1.2 hereof, OSI shall pay to Tanabe a royalty of ** of Net Sales by
OSI, its Affiliates or sublicensees of each such Product. OSI shall continue to
pay such royalty on Net Sales of each Product commercialized by OSI, its
Affiliates or sublicensees on a country-by-country basis so long as the
manufacture, use and/or sale of such Product would infringe a Valid Claim of a
Tanabe Patent or a Joint Patent with respect to such Product in such country or
for ** following the date of first commercial sale of such Product, whichever is
longer.
5.5.3 Payment Dates. Royalties shall be paid by
Tanabe or OSI, as the case may be, on Net Sales within 90 days after the end of
each calendar quarter in which such Net Sales are made. Such payments shall be
accompanied by a statement showing the Net Sales of each Product in each country
and a calculation of the amount of royalty due.
5.5.4 Accounting. The Net Sales used for computing
the royalties payable to OSI by Tanabe, or to Tanabe by OSI, as the case may be,
shall be computed and
- -------------------
** This portion has been redacted pursuant to a request for confidential
treatment.
39
48
paid in U.S. Dollars. For purposes of determining the amount of royalties due
with respect to Net Sales in any foreign currency, the amount shall be computed
generally by converting the foreign currency amount into U.S. Dollars using for
each quarter's calculation the foreign currency exchange rate on the last day of
such quarter or such other method as is consistent with internal foreign
currency translation procedures of the Selling Party, as actually used by the
Selling Party on a consistent basis in preparing its audited financial
statements.
5.5.5 Records. Tanabe or OSI, as the case may be,
shall keep for seven years from the date of each payment of royalties complete
and accurate records of Net Sales made by such party, its Affiliates and
sublicensees of each Product in sufficient detail to allow the accruing
royalties to be determined accurately. The Royalty-Receiving Party shall have
the right for a period of seven years after receiving any report or statement
with respect to royalties due and payable to obtain, at its expense, from the
independent certified public accountant selected by the Royalty-Receiving Party,
an audit of the relevant records of the Selling Party to verify such report or
statement. The Selling Party shall make its records available for inspection by
such independent certified public accountant during regular business hours at
such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon reasonable
notice from the Royalty-Receiving Party, to the extent reasonably necessary to
verify the accuracy of the reports and payments. Such inspection right shall not
be exercised more than once in any calendar year nor more than once with respect
to sales in any given period, unless a subsequent inspection reveals
discrepancies which may have also occurred during such period. Such independent
certified public accountant shall report to the Royalty-Receiving Party only as
to the accuracy of the Net Sales computation and royalty payments. The
Royalty-Receiving Party agrees to hold in strict confidence all information
concerning royalty payments and reports, and all information learned in the
course of any audit or inspection, except to the extent necessary for such party
to reveal
40
49
such information in order to enforce its rights under this Agreement or
disclosure is required by law or by the competent authorities. The failure of
the Royalty-Receiving Party to request verification of any report or statement
during the seven-year period shall be considered acceptance of the accuracy of
such report, and the Selling Party shall have no obligation to maintain records
pertaining to such report or statement beyond the seven-year period. The results
of the inspection shall be binding on both parties.
5.5.6 Withholding Taxes.
(a) **
(b) Withholding to be Borne by
Royalty-Receiving Party. Any Withholding Tax imposed on any amounts under
Section 5.5 hereof shall be deducted from the amount otherwise due. The Selling
Party will assist the Royalty-Receiving Party in minimizing the Withholding Tax
applicable to any payment made by the Selling Party hereunder and in claiming
tax refunds at the Royalty-Receiving Party's request by providing such documents
and providing such other reasonable cooperation as may be necessary to assist
the Royalty-Receiving Party in receiving a tax refund or in claiming a foreign
tax credit and shall, upon the Royalty-Receiving Party's request, give proper
evidence from time to time as to the payment of such Withholding Tax.
- -------------------

5.6 Payment to Vanderbilt. OSI shall be responsible for
any payment which will be made to Vanderbilt for Vanderbilt's participation in
the Research Program, including, without limitation, any payment necessary to
obtain a license from Vanderbilt, and Tanabe shall not be obliged to make any
payment other than specifically set forth herein.
6. Provisions Concerning the Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance
of Patent Rights.
The following provisions relate to the filing, prosecution and
maintenance of OSI Patents and Tanabe Patents:
6.1 OSI Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance. OSI shall
have the exclusive right and obligation:
(a) to file applications on any
patentable invention relating to OSI Technology;
(b) to prosecute all pending and new
patent applications with respect to OSI Patents, and to respond to oppositions
filed by Third Parties against the grant of OSI Patents; and
(c) to maintain in force all OSI
Patents by duly filing all necessary papers and paying any fees required by the
patent laws of the particular country in which such OSI Patents were granted.
6.2 Tanabe Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance. Tanabe
shall have the exclusive right and obligation:
(a) to file applications on any
patentable invention relating to Tanabe Technology;
(b) to prosecute all pending and new
patent applications with respect to Tanabe Patents, and to respond to
oppositions filed by Third Parties against the grant
42
51
of Tanabe Patents; and
(c) to maintain in force all Tanabe
Patents by duly filing all necessary papers and paying any fees required by the
patent laws of the particular country in which such Tanabe Patents were granted.
6.3 Legal Action.
6.3.1 Actual or Threatened Disclosure or
Infringement. When information comes to the attention of either Tanabe or OSI to
the effect that a Tanabe Patent, OSI Patent or Joint Patent or Improvement
relating to a Compound or Product have been or are threatened to be unlawfully
disclosed or that any of the rights granted by this Agreement have been or are
threatened to be unlawfully infringed, such party shall notify the other party
in writing and the Selling Party shall have the right at its expense to take
such action as it may deem necessary to prosecute or prevent such unlawful
disclosure or infringement, including the right to bring or defend any suit,
action or proceeding involving any such disclosure or infringement. The Selling
Party shall notify the Royalty-Receiving Party promptly of the receipt of any
such information and of the commencement of any such suit, action or proceeding.
If the Selling Party determines that it is necessary or desirable for the
Royalty-Receiving Party to join any such suit, action, or proceeding, the
Royalty-Receiving Party shall execute all papers and perform such other acts as
may be reasonably required to permit the Selling Party to act in the
Royalty-Receiving Party's name. If Tanabe is the Selling Party, and Tanabe
determines that it is necessary or desirable for Vanderbilt to join any such
suit, action, or proceeding, OSI shall undertake to have Vanderbilt execute all
papers and perform such
43
52
other acts as may be reasonably required to permit Tanabe to act in Vanderbilt's
name but at no cost to OSI or Vanderbilt ** . In the event that the Selling
Party brings a suit, it shall have the right first to reimburse itself out of
any sums recovered in such suit or in its settlement for all reasonable costs
and expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
involved in the prosecution of any suit, and ** of any funds that shall remain
from said recovery shall be distributed to the Royalty-Receiving Party and ** of
such funds shall be retained by the Selling Party.
If the Selling Party does not, within ** days after giving
notice to the Royalty-Receiving Party of the above-described information, notify
the Royalty-Receiving Party of the intent of the Selling Party to bring suit
against any infringer, the Royalty-Receiving Party shall have the right to bring
suit for such alleged infringement, but it shall not be obligated to do so, and
may cause the Selling Party to be joined as a party plaintiff, if appropriate,
in which event the Royalty-Receiving Party shall hold the Selling Party free,
clear, and harmless from any and all costs and expenses of such litigation,
including attorneys' fees, and any sums recovered in any such suit or in its
settlement shall belong to the Royalty-Receiving Party. However, ** of any such
sums received by the Royalty-Receiving Party, after deduction of the costs and
expenses of litigation, including attorneys' fees paid, shall be paid to the
Selling Party and ** of such sums shall be retained by the Royalty-Receiving
Party. Each party shall always have the right to be represented by counsel of
its own selection and at its own expense in any suit instituted by the other for
infringement, under the terms of this Section. If the Selling Party lacks
standing to bring any such suit, action, or proceeding, then the
Royalty-Receiving Party shall do so at the request of the Selling Party and at
the Selling Party's expense.

44
53
6.3.2 Defense of Infringement Claims. If OSI or
Tanabe, or any of their respective Affiliates or sublicensees or their
customers, is sued by a Third Party for infringement of a patent because of the
research, development, manufacture, use or sale of a Compound or Product, the
party which has been sued shall promptly notify the other in writing of the
institution of such suit. The Selling Party shall have the right (including the
right to exclusive control of the defense of any such suit, action, or
proceeding and the exclusive right to compromise, litigate, settle, or otherwise
dispose of any such suit, action, or proceeding), but not the obligation, to
control the defense or settlement of any such suit, action, or proceeding and
the Royalty-Receiving Party shall furnish to the Selling Party all necessary
information and assistance in connection therewith. The Selling Party shall bear
** of the expense (including, without limitation, any sums paid to such Third
Party as damages), and the Royalty-Receiving Party shall bear ** of the expense
(including, without limitation, any sums paid to such Third Party as damages);
provided that the sole obligation of the Royalty-Receiving Party will be paid by
a ** reduction of all royalties then payable and payable thereafter to the
Royalty-Receiving Party until the Royalty Receiving Party's ** share of the
expenses of such suit are deducted on a global basis, and not on a
patent-by-patent basis nor country-by-country basis. If such suit results in any
award or settlement paid in favor of Tanabe or OSI, such amount shall be shared
in the same proportion as the expenses of such suit have been actually borne by
such parties. The share of the expenses of any suit of the Royalty-Receiving
Party shall be limited to the foregoing royalty reduction and ** . It is agreed
that if one party conducts the defense, the other shall have the right to be
represented
- -------------------
** This portion has been redacted pursuant to a request for confidential
treatment.
45
54
by advisory counsel of its own selection, at its own expense, and shall
cooperate fully in the defense of such suit and furnish to the other all
evidence and assistance in its control.
6.3.3 Third Party Licenses. If Tanabe and OSI
agree that the development, manufacture, use, or sale by Tanabe or OSI, as the
case may be, of a Product in any country would infringe a patent owned by a
Third Party, the Selling Party shall attempt to obtain a license under such
patent. If the Selling Party obtains a license under such patent, ** of any
payments made by the Selling Party to such Third Party shall be deductible from
royalty payments due from the Selling Party to the Royalty-Receiving Party;
provided, however, that in no event shall royalties payable to the
Royalty-Receiving Party be reduced by more than ** as a result of all such
deductions. All such computations, payments, and adjustments of ** shall be made
on a country-by-country and patent-by-patent basis. If either Tanabe or OSI is
of the opinion that such development, manufacture, use, or sale would not
infringe such patent owned by a Third Party, the Selling Party may, at its
election and expense, bring suit against such Third Party seeking a declaration
that such Third Party patent is invalid or not infringed by such party's
development, manufacture, use or sale of such Product, or may bring opposition,
nullity, or other proceedings against such patent, as appropriate. If the
Selling Party chooses not to bring such a suit or is successful in such suit,
the Selling Party shall continue to pay royalties in such country as provided in
Section 5. If the Selling Party is unsuccessful in such suit, it shall join the
Royalty-Receiving Party in an attempt to obtain a license under such patent to
the extent that the terms and conditions to obtain such license from
- -------------------
** This portion has been redacted pursuant to a request for confidential
treatment.
46
55
such Third Party are commercially feasible, and royalty payments made to such
Third Party for such license shall be as provided in this Section.
6.3.4 No Selling Party. For purposes of this
Section 6.3, if there is no Selling Party (because no license has yet been
granted under Section 5.1.1 or Section 5.1.2), all references to "Selling Party"
shall be deemed to be references to OSI and all references to "Royalty-Receiving
Party" shall be deemed to be references to Tanabe except that if the actual or
threatened unlawful disclosure or infringement solely relates to a Tanabe
Patent, then all references in this Section 6.3 to "Selling Party" shall be
deemed to be references to Tanabe and all references to "Royalty-Receiving
Party" shall be deemed to be references to OSI.
6.3.5 Acquisition of Rights from Third Parties.
Subject to OSI's rights with respect to potential pharmaceutical products in the
Field licensed-in by OSI during the Contract Period as set forth in Section
2.3.1 hereof, OSI and Tanabe shall, during the Contract Period, promptly notify
the Joint Management Committee in writing of any and all opportunities to
acquire in any manner from Third Parties (except Vanderbilt under the Vanderbilt
Agreement) enabling technologies or patents relating to the Targets which may be
used in the Research Program and which were not theretofore available to the
Research Program from either Tanabe or OSI. Such opportunities shall include,
without limitation, a research collaboration with a Third Party which relates to
any of the Targets. If OSI and Tanabe mutually determine that such rights should
be acquired or a research collaboration with a Third Party should be entered
into, the notifying party shall negotiate with such Third Party to make the
acquisition or enter into the research collaboration. If such rights are
acquired or a research collaboration is entered into, such rights acquired or
resulting from such research collaboration shall be deemed part of the
Technology of the party making the acquisition or entering into the research
collaboration. Upon
47
56
such acquisition or entering into the research collaboration, OSI and Tanabe
shall negotiate in good faith the modification (if any) of the milestone and
royalty payments set forth in Sections 3.3.2, 3.3.3 and 5.5 with respect to
Products directly resulting from such acquired technology or patents or from
such research collaboration.
7. Hold Harmless. If Tanabe grants to OSI a license hereunder,
OSI agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Tanabe from and
against any liability, claim, loss, cost or expense arising from any claim for
product liability based upon OSI's, its Affiliates' and/or its sublicensees'
development, manufacture, use, or sale of any Product, except to the extent such
liability, claim, loss, or expense also results from the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tanabe, its Affiliates and/or its sublicensees or their respective
employees and agents. If OSI grants to Tanabe a license hereunder, Tanabe agrees
to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless OSI from and against any
liability, claim, loss, cost, or expense arising from any claim for product
liability based upon Tanabe's, its Affiliates' and/or its sublicensees'
development, manufacture, use, or sale of any Product, except to the extent such
liability, claim, loss, cost or expense also results from the negligence or
willful misconduct of OSI, its Affiliates, its sublicensees and/or Vanderbilt or
their respective employees and agents.
8. Term, Termination and Disengagement
8.1 Term.
8.1.1 Term of Contract Period. The term of the
Contract Period shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire on the
fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, unless extended by mutual written

Period will remain in effect for the remainder of the 4-year period from the
Effective Date. If the Two-Year Minimum Requirements have not been met, within
** following receipt of such report, Tanabe shall notify OSI in writing whether
it intends to terminate the Contract Period in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.2 hereof or whether the Contract Period shall remain in effect for the
remainder of the 4-year period from the Effective Date. If the Two Year Report
indicates that the Two Year Minimum Requirements have not been met but Tanabe
nonetheless determines not to exercise its right to Early Termination, Tanabe
shall make the quarterly Funding Amount for the first quarter of the third year
of the Contract Period on the later of the first day of such quarter or the day
on which Tanabe provides OSI with notice of its intent not to terminate the
Contract Period.
8.1.3 Renewal. Tanabe may renew the Contract
Period for an additional period of at ** by providing written notice of its
intent to renew to OSI within four months prior to the expiration of the
Contract Period. Following delivery and receipt of such written notice, the

Period. The "Contract Period" shall be deemed to include any renewal period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Tanabe's request, OSI shall, for a period of
one year following the expiration of the Contract Period (i.e., all four years
or more if extended hereby), provide to Tanabe ongoing services to be mutually
determined by the parties on a Compound-by-Compound basis or a Target-by-Target
basis. Tanabe shall pay OSI for such services an additional Funding Amount equal
** .
8.1.4 Term of Agreement. The term of this
Agreement ("Term") shall continue until the expiration or termination of the
last obligation of either party to pay royalties on a country-by-country basis
and shall include the Contract Period as well as the Drug Discovery Phase, Early
Development Phase and Clinical Development and Marketing Phase, any or all of
which may be coexistent with the Contract Period.
8.2 Tanabe's Right to Early Termination. Tanabe shall
have the right to terminate the Contract Period following its receipt of the Two
Year Report, in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 8.1.2
hereof, if the Two-Year Minimum Requirements have not been met ("Early
Termination"). If there is an Early Termination, there shall be no Remaining
Right Period.

(Dispute Resolution), and without prejudice to any remedy or claims it may have
against the other party.
8.3.1 Incorrect Representation or Warranty. Any
material representation or warranty by OSI or Tanabe, or any of their officers,
under or in connection with this Agreement, proves to have been incorrect in any
material respect when made.
8.3.2 Failure to Perform. OSI or Tanabe fails in
any material respect to perform or observe any material term, covenant or
understanding contained in this Agreement or in any of the other documents or
instruments delivered pursuant to, or concurrently with, this Agreement, and any
such failure shall remain unremedied for 60 days after written notice to the
failing party.
8.3.3 Bankruptcy. OSI or Tanabe makes an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, becomes insolvent, files a petition
in bankruptcy, petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a
custodian, receiver or any trustee for it or a substantial part of its assets,
or commences any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any
jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; or if there has been filed any
such petition or application against OSI or Tanabe, or any such proceeding has
