Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 6, 2010, Neogenix Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Commercial License Agreement with Selexis SA (“Selexis”) to commercialize the high expression production cell line expressing the Company’s NPC-1C antibody (the “High Expression NPC-1C Cell Line”). Selexis developed the high expression NPC-1C cell line for the Company under a Services Agreement dated August 12, 2009 (the “Services Agreement”). The Services Agreement provided the Company with an option to enter into this commercial license agreement, which, following extensions by the parties, the Company has now exercised. The commercial license agreement includes the following terms: a non-exclusive license to the Company of all Selexis intellectual property rights in the higher expression NPC-1C cell lines developed by Selexis, with a right to sublicense; milestone payments at the start of the Phase III Clinical Trial for the first therapeutic product containing the licensed product and the first commercial sale thereof, milestone payments at the start of a clinical study for the first diagnostic product containing the licensed product and the first commercial sale thereof, and royalties on net sales on all licensed products (subject to reduction for combination products and services). The royalty term with respect to each licensed product sold in a particular country terminates on the expiration of the last-to-expire or lapse of any valid patent claims covering the licensed product in such country.
