Agreement) to make, have made, use, offer for sale and sell Products in the
Territory.
3.2. LIMITATIONS ON EXCLUSIVITY. In the event MKL materially breaches
or fails to perform any provision of this Agreement and such material breach or
failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof
is provided by Migami, Migami shall have the right, at its option, to (a)
declare the license granted in Section 3.1 to be nonexclusive whereupon such
3

3.5. SUBLICENSING BY MKL.
(a) RIGHT. Subject to the terms of this Section 3.5, MKL may grant
a sublicense of its rights granted pursuant to Section 3.1. The grant of any
such sublicense shall be conditioned upon Migami's prior written approval, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each sublicense shall be in writing and
shall be subject to and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Each
sublicense shall be terminable at Migami's option upon termination of this
Agreement, immediately upon Migami's written notice. Migami may provide such
notice at any time after this Agreement terminates. If Migami elects to maintain
any sublicense in effect after the termination of this Agreement, MKL shall
assign all its rights to such sublicense to Migami.
(b) INFORMATION. In view of the impact that MKL's sublicensees'
activities could potentially have upon Migami's activities with respect to the
Licensed Technology and Products outside the Territory, MKL shall keep Migami
fully informed as to the status of each potential sublicense by notifying Migami
of the potential sublicense (including without limitation the identity of the
sublicensee) promptly as MKL moves forward with that sublicense. MKL shall also
promptly provide Migami with a copy of each term sheet, each draft of the
sublicense, and the final draft of the sublicense (prior to execution). In
addition, MKL shall promptly inform Migami of the execution, scope, and
termination of each sublicense and any amendment thereto, including without
limitation, the name and address of each sublicensee. During any notice period
prior to termination of this Agreement, MKL shall provide Migami with a summary
of all sublicenses then in effect (including without limitation all amendments,
side letters, etc.).
4
No sublicense may be assigned without Migami's prior written consent. MKL may
not sublicense any rights outside the Territory.
(c) POTENTIAL LICENSEES OUTSIDE THE TERRITORY. If MKL encounters a
third party that wishes to license any right to the Licensed Technology or any
Products outside of the Territory, MKL shall refer such party to Migami for
licensing negotiations. Migami retains the right to grant or withhold license
for outside of the Territory in its sole discretion. Migami reserves the right
to choose with whom to negotiate the terms of potential licenses for the
Licensed Technology and all Products outside the Territory in its sole
discretion.
ARTICLE IV. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
--------------------------
4.1. BEST EFFORTS.
(a) MKL shall use its best efforts to actively promote the sale of
Products in the Territory, including but not limited to calling on customers,
actively soliciting and securing orders for the Products, introducing,
demonstrating, advertising, and marketing the Products.
(b) Beginning immediately following the launch of any Product in
the Territory, MKL shall submit a complete quarterly report to Migami detailing
its efforts to promote the sale of each Product in the Territory and detailing
both turnover, direct sales activities, and projected sales.
4.2. MINIMUM SALES REQUIREMENTS. MKL shall not be responsible for any
minimum sales requirements. However, MKL shall use its best efforts to achieve
sales goals mutually determined by Migami and MKL.
ARTICLE V. MANUFACTURE
-----------
5.1. SUPPLY. It is anticipated that MKL shall manufacture its
requirement for Products under this Agreement. In the event that MKL fails to do
so, MKL shall purchase all of its requirements of Product exclusively from
Migami at Migami's sole discretion. In the event that MKL has excess
manufacturing capacity for Products, MKL shall offer such excess capacity to
Migami for the manufacture of Products for purchase by Migami. Migami may, at
its sole discretion, elect to purchase such products from MKL.
5.2 MAINTENANCE OF INVENTORY. MKL shall maintain an adequate inventory
of Products to satisfy its projected sales volume.
ARTICLE VI. LICENSE FEE; CLINICAL STUDY FEE; REVENUE SHARING
------------------------------------------------
6.1. LICENSE FEE. In consideration of the license, distribution and
marketing rights granted in this Agreement, MKL shall pay to Migami
$2,000,000.00 within ten (30) days of execution of this Agreement (the "License
Fee Payment").
5
6.2 CLINICAL STUDY FEE. MKL shall pay any amounts necessary to perform
studies on the efficacy of the Product or other clinical studies necessary to
obtain any required approvals by regulatory authorities in the Territory and any
required fees to such regulatory authorities within ten (10) days of a written
request therefore from Migami (the "Clinical Study Fee").
6.3. PAYMENT OF FEES. The License Fee Payment and the Clinical Study
Fee shall collectively be referred to as the "Payments." The Payments are not
creditable against any Revenue Sharing as set forth under Section 6.3 or other
payments required from MKL elsewhere herein and are not refundable. If MKL fails
to make any Payment provided for in this Article VI within thirty (30) days
after the due date thereof as set forth above, then at Migami's option, the
license granted to MKL hereunder shall no longer be exclusive; and (b) within
sixty (60) days after the due date thereof as set forth above, Migami shall be
entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice to MKL. In the event that
MKL directly pays for any required clinical study or related regulatory fee, MKL
shall not be required to pay such amount to Migami.
6.4. REVENUE SHARING. MKL shall pay to Migami an eight percent (4%)
royalty on the Aggregate Consideration received by MKL, in excess of the License
Fee Payment. MKL shall commence paying such royalty to Migami at such time as
the amount of Aggregate Consideration exceeds $2,000,000 and continue for the
remaining term of the Agreement. Such payment shall be made on a quarterly basis
by the twentieth day after the conclusion of the calendar quarter in which the
royalty was earned. MKL shall provide after the twentieth day of each calendar
quarter a written report detailing the calculation of Aggregate Consideration
for the prior quarter.
6.5. REVIEW OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. MKL shall keep, or cause to be kept,
accurate books and records in sufficient detail to verify the calculation of
Aggregate Consideration and the reports given under Section 6.4 and shall retain
such books and records at its principal place of business for at least five (5)
years after the end of the fiscal year to which they pertain. Migami shall have
the right, at its expense and not more frequently than once per calendar year,
to have its accountants and/or auditors examine, during normal business hours,
the books and records of MKL, its Affiliates and its sublicensees relating to
the calculation of Aggregate Consideration and the preparation of the reports
provided under Section 6.4 for any period during which MKL is to maintain
records. If such examination discovers an error in excess of five percent (5%)
for the period under review, MKL shall reimburse Migami for its reasonable costs
of examination.
6.6. CURRENCY CONVERSION. All payments shall be calculated and paid in
United States dollars. For the purpose of computing the Aggregate Consideration
in connection with revenue paid in a currency other that United States dollars,
the Parties shall convert the value of such currency into U.S. dollars on a
6
consistent, monthly basis using an average of exchange rates for the month
published in Reuters ending on the last business day of the month during which a
royalty payment is to be made.
6.7. TAXES. Each Party agrees to bear all of the sales and use taxes
imposed as a result of the existence or operation of this Agreement on such
Party, including any tax on, or measured by, sales, royalties or other payment.

-------------------------------------
7.1. OWNERSHIP.
(a) All works of authorship, discoveries, improvements and
inventions made, authored, or invented by Innozen, Inc., a Delaware, USA,
corporation, and/or any of its Affiliates in the performance of this Agreement
or which otherwise relates to the Product, the Patent Rights and/or the Licensed
Technology (collectively, "Innozen Improvements") shall be owned by Innozen,
Inc. All works of authorship, discoveries, improvements and inventions made,
authored, or invented by Migami, and/or any of its Affiliates in the performance
of this Agreement or which otherwise relates to the Product, the Patent Rights
and/or the Licensed Technology (collectively, "Migami Improvements") shall be
owned by Migami. All works of authorship, discoveries, improvements and
inventions made, authored, or invented by MKL, and/or any of its Affiliates in
the performance of this Agreement or which otherwise relate to the Product, the
Patent Rights and/or the Licensed Technology (collectively, "MKL Improvements")
shall be subject to the license granted by this Agreement and shall be owned by
Migami. MKL shall promptly disclose the MKL Improvements, in confidence, to
Migami, and Migami shall promptly disclose Migami Improvements, in confidence,
to MKL. With respect to any such Migami Improvements and MKL Improvements, the
Parties shall discuss and agree in good faith whether to incorporate them into
any aspect of the Product, whether to seek intellectual property protection for
them, whether to transfer ownership of them, and any consideration to be given
or exchanged for them.
7.2. INFRINGEMENT.
(a) Each Party shall promptly notify in writing the other Party
during the term of this Agreement of any: (i) known infringement or suspected
infringement of any of the Patent Rights; or (ii) unauthorized use or
misappropriation of the Licensed Technology by a third party of which it becomes
aware, and shall provide the other Party with all available evidence supporting
said infringement, suspected infringement or unauthorized use or
misappropriation. Within ninety (90) days after Migami becomes, or is made aware
of any of the foregoing, Migami shall decide whether or not to initiate an
infringement or other appropriate action and shall notify MKL of its decision in
writing. The failure of Migami to inform MKL of Migami's decision within such
90-day period shall be deemed a decision not to initiate an infringement or
other appropriate action.
(b) In the event that Migami notifies MKL of its intent to
initiate an infringement or other appropriate action within the 90-day period
provided in Section (a) 7.2(a), provided such infringement is continuing, Migami
7
shall initiate such an infringement or other appropriate action within thirty
(30) days of the end of such 90-day period. If such infringement is within the
Territory, MKL shall be entitled to join Migami as a party to such suit, but MKL
shall be under no obligation to participate except to the extent that such
participation is required as a result of being a named party to the suit or
being involved in the commercialization of any Patent Rights and/or Licensed
Technology at issue. If MKL chooses to participate, MKL shall have the right to
be represented by its own counsel at its own expense. Migami shall not settle
any such suit involving rights of MKL or make an admission of liability on
behalf of MKL without obtaining the prior written consent of MKL, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Migami initiates proceedings
pursuant to this Section 7.2(c), Migami shall be entitled to one hundred percent
(100%) of any and all amounts recovered in such suit, whether through judgment,
settlement or otherwise, including without limitation, any punitive damages that
may be awarded, up to the amount of Migami's costs of suit and attorneys fees,
Migami and MKL shall each be entitled to fifty percent (50%) of all amounts
recovered in such suit, whether through judgment, settlement or otherwise,
including without limitation, any punitive damages that may be awarded, in
excess of Migami's costs of suit as long as such recovery stems from
infringement within the Territory.
(c) In the event that Migami decides not to initiate, or is deemed
to have not decided to initiate an infringement or other appropriate action
within the 90-day period provided in Section 7.2(a), or does not initiate such
an infringement or other appropriate action within thirty (30) days of such
90-day period as provided in Section 7.2(b), MKL shall have the right, at its
expense, to initiate an infringement or other appropriate action, and shall be
entitled to join Migami as a party to such suit, but Migami shall be under no
obligation to participate except to the extent that such participation is
required as a result of its being named a party to the suit or being the owner
of any Patent Rights and/or Licensed Technology at issue. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that Migami is engaged at the end of said 90-day period
in negotiations for the settlement of the said patent infringement which has
been the subject of notice from MKL to Migami and has advised MKL in writing of
such negotiations, the above mentioned right and option of MKL to bring suit
shall be exercised only with the written consent of Migami which will not be
unreasonably withheld. If Migami chooses to participate in any suit initiated by
MKL, Migami shall have the right to be represented in any such suit by its own
counsel at its own expense. MKL shall not settle any such suit involving rights
of Migami nor make any admission of liability on behalf of Migami without
obtaining the prior written consent of Migami, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. In the event MKL initiates proceedings pursuant to
Section 7.2(c), Migami and MKL shall be entitled to one hundred percent (100%)
of any and all amounts recovered in such suit, whether through judgment,
settlement or otherwise, including without limitation, any punitive damages that
may be awarded, up to the amount of their respective costs of suit and attorneys
fees. In any such action, Migami and MKL shall each be entitled to fifty percent
(50%) of all amounts recovered in such suit, whether through judgment,
settlement or otherwise, including without limitation, any punitive damages that
8
may be awarded, in excess of their aggregate costs of suit and attorneys fees as
long as such recovery stems from infringement within the Territory.
(d) Nothing herein contained shall be construed to require either
party to expend money in litigation or in the enforcing of Patent Rights and/or
Licensed Technology rights unless it so elects and in the event a party proceeds
with litigation in the name of the other party in any cause in which such other
party is not voluntarily a party, as evidence by written notice, such party
shall and agrees to hold the other party harmless from any and all liabilities
arising thereunder, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, court costs,
and damages arising out of the counterclaims, cross-claims and the like.
7.3. ASSISTANCE. Each Party shall provide to the other Party such
reasonable assistance as necessary for the Parties to exercise its rights under
this Article VII.

submissions to regulatory authorities for purposes of this Agreement, filing or
prosecuting patent applications contemplated under this Agreement, prosecuting
or defending litigation, complying with applicable governmental regulations or
conducting preclinical or clinical trials of the Licensed Technology or the
Product; provided, however, that in the event of any proposed disclosure
described in clause (b), the disclosing Party will, except where impracticable
(e.g., medical emergencies) or where such disclosure is made for the purpose of
carrying out any obligation under this Agreement, give reasonable advance notice
to the other Party of such disclosure requirement and will use its reasonable
efforts to secure confidential treatment of the information to be disclosed.
8.3. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. Except to the extent required by applicable
law or regulations, in the reasonable judgment of a Party, or to the extent the
9
substance thereof has previously been reviewed and released by the Parties or is
in the public domain through no fault of the originating Party, neither Party
shall make any announcement, news release, public statement, publication or
presentation regarding the material terms of this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Parties will consult with one another regarding the provisions of
this Agreement to be redacted in any filing made by the parties with regulatory
agencies (e.g., Securities and Exchange Commission) or as otherwise required by
law. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate the
initial announcement or press release relating to this Agreement such that each
Party's initial announcement or press release may be made contemporaneously.
