VII.                     Payments

7.0 Axsome shall pay to Antecip all amounts due to Antecip at the same time as Quarterly Reports are due as provided in Section 7.1.

VIII.                Licensed Patents and Patent Infringement

8.0 The acquisition and maintenance of Licensed Patents shall be managed by a patent professional acceptable to the parties who shall be instructed by the parties to diligently pursue prosecution of the Licensed Patents. It shall be the responsibility of this patent professional to advise the parties of the status of the Licensed Patents, and to involve the parties in all portfolio management decisions. Axsome shall pay all fees and expenses of any preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Licensed Patents. In the event Axsome elects not to file, prosecute or maintain the Licensed Patents in a country, Axsome shall have no rights under the Licensed Patents or under this Agreement in the country so elected, it shall so advise Antecip on a timely basis so it can pursue such rights and Antecip shall have the exclusive right to file, prosecute, maintain, and exploit the Licensed Patents in that country at its expense.

8.1 Each party shall be entitled to receive for comment copies of all patent applications relating to the Licensed Patents and correspondence, including status reports, relating to the prosecution, maintenance, issue, re-issue, re-examination or division of these patent applications.

8.2 If either Axsome or Antecip is sued by a third party for patent infringement because of its exercise of the license granted herein, Axsome shall defend the suit at its own expense, but Antecip shall cooperate to the fullest, at Axsome’s expense, in the conduct of the defense. If the parties to the suit reach a tentative settlement, Antecip, acting reasonably, must consent to same.

8.3 In the event that any infringement of any of the Licensed Patents comes to the attention of either party hereto, such party shall promptly notify the other party thereof. At Antecip’s request, Axsome shall, if it is commercially reasonable to do so, undertake an infringement suit that is reasonably required and in the best interest of both parties. In the event that Axsome undertakes such suit, it shall do so at its own expense in the name of Antecip or Axsome or both. In such event, Antecip shall cooperate fully with Axsome, at Axsome’s expense. Axsome shall not settle any such suit without obtaining the consent of Antecip, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Any recovery obtained by Axsome as the result of such proceeding, by settlement or otherwise, shall be applied for the following purposes and in the following order: (1) against legal and other expenses of the suit, and (2) against liabilities of Axsome and Antecip resulting from the suit. Any remaining recovery obtained by Axsome shall be apportioned to Antecip and Axsome so that Antecip receives a royalty, in accordance with Section 4.1, on such remaining recovery which shall be considered Net Sales.

IX.                         Representations and Warranties

9.0 Antecip represents and warrants that to its knowledge (i) Antecip is the owner or agent of the entire right, title, and interest in and to the Licensed Patents, (ii) Antecip has the right to grant licenses hereunder, and (iii) Antecip has not knowingly granted and will not knowingly grant licenses or other rights to the Licensed Patents that are in conflict with the terms and conditions in the Agreement.

9.1 Neither Antecip nor the named inventor (Inventor) of the Licensed Patents shall have any liability whatsoever to Axsome or any other person for or on account of any injury, loss, or damage, or any kind of nature, sustained by, or any damage assessed or asserted against, or any other liability incurred by or imposed upon Axsome or any other person, arising out of or in connection with or resulting from (1) the manufacture, use, or sale of any Licensed Product; or (2) any advertising or other promotional activities with respect to any of the foregoing, and Axsome shall hold Antecip and Inventor harmless and indemnify them if any one of them is held liable.

9.2 Axsome, at its own expense will carry and maintain in full force and effect insurance, including product liability insurance, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated at all times during which the Licensed Product is being clinically tested in human subjects or commercially distributed or sold by or on behalf of Axsome pursuant to this Agreement.  Antecip shall be named as additional insured on such insurance and the carrier shall agree not to cancel same without providing 60 days prior written notice of cancellation.

X.                              Termination

10.0 This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Sections 10.1 or 10.2, shall remain in effect, on country-by-country basis, until the expiration of the Royalty Term (the “Term”).  Upon expiration of the Term (as opposed to termination prior to expiration of the Term), Axsome

10.1 (a) Axsome may terminate this Agreement at any time upon sixty (60) days written notice in advance to Antecip.

(b) If Antecip defaults in any of its material obligations under this Agreement and such default is not remedied within thirty (30) days of the date of written notice of default from Axsome to Antecip, Axsome may terminate this Agreement by sending written notice to Antecip. This termination shall be effective thirty (30) days after written notice.

(c) If either Axsome or Antecip is adjudged bankrupt, or becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or is placed in the hands of a receiver or a trustee in bankruptcy, the other party may terminate this Agreement by giving sixty (60) days’ notice by registered mail to the other party, specifying the basis for termination. If within sixty (60) days after the receipt of such notice, the party receiving notice remedies the condition forming the basis for termination, such notice shall cease to be operative, and this Agreement shall continue in full force. Either party may within sixty (60) days of the notice of termination dispute the allegation of insolvency and if so the termination shall not be effective until the dispute is resolved finally in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the terminating party’s favor. If Antecip terminates this Agreement because Axsome has been adjudged bankrupt, has become insolvent, has made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or has been placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy, Antecip shall enter into agreements with any sublicensees of Axsome to grant these sublicenses granted by Axsome under any sublicense agreement.

10.3 This Section and the following rights and obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement to the degree necessary to permit their complete fulfillment or discharge:

(a)         Axsome’s obligation to supply a terminal report as specified in Section 7.3 of this Agreement.

XII.                    Assignability

12.0 Axsome shall have the right to assign this Agreement together with all rights and obligations herein to any other person. This Agreement is not assignable by Antecip without the prior written consent of Axsome, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that Antecip may assign the Agreement to an Affiliate without consent.

XIII.               Severability

13.0 The parties agree that if any part, term, or provision of this Agreement shall be found illegal or in conflict with any valid controlling law, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

XIV.                Use of Licensor’s Name

14.0 In publicizing anything made, used, or sold under this Agreement, Axsome agrees to obtain prior written approval from Antecip before using its name or the name of the named inventor(s) on any Licensed Patents in any publications.

XV.                     Waiver, Integration, Alteration

15.0 The waiver of a breach hereunder may be effected only by a written document signed by the waiving party and shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach.

16.0 (a) In the event of any dispute relating to this Agreement, the parties shall, prior to instituting any arbitration proceeding or lawsuit (if applicable) on account of such dispute, refer such dispute to a representative of Axsome and a representative of Antecip, who shall, as soon as is practicable, and with the assistance of a mediator as provided below, attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. The Parties shall select a mediator who shall serve as an impartial facilitator of such discussion. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, a mediator shall be designated by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The mediation shall be treated as a settlement discussion and therefore will be privileged and confidential. The mediator may not testify for either party or serve as an arbitrator in any later proceeding relating to the dispute, and no recording or transcript shall be made of the mediation proceedings. Each party shall bear its own costs in the mediation and the fees and expenses of the mediator shall be shared equally by the parties.  If such dispute is not resolved within ninety (90) days of the first written request for mediation, either party may seek arbitration of the matter as set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief any time if the same shall be necessary to prevent irreparable harm to any party.

(b) Except with respect to equitable relief, which may be obtained in a court of competent jurisdiction, if the parties are unable to resolve any dispute through the mediation provisions set forth above, such dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration. The arbitration shall be in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) of the AAA which shall administer the arbitration and act as appointing authority; provided that the arbitrator(s) appointed with regard to the arbitration proceeding shall not be the same persons who served as mediators in any mediation between the parties. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and the provisions of this Section 16.0, the provisions of this Section 16.0 shall govern. If the amount in controversy exceeds $50,000, then the arbitration shall be heard and determined by a panel of three arbitrators selected in accordance with the procedures of the AAA. The arbitration, including the rendering of the award, shall take place at such location as the parties may agree and, if no location can be agreed, at such location as the AAA directs. Judgment upon the award of the arbitrators may be

entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In the event of any arbitration or other legal proceeding brought by any party against another party with regard to any matter arising out of or related to this Agreement, each party hereby expressly agrees that the final award may also provide for an allocation and division between or among the parties to the arbitration, on a basis which is just and equitable under the circumstances, of all costs of arbitration, including court costs and arbitrators’ fees but not attorneys’ fees; provided, however, that attorneys’ fees may be awarded against a party if the arbitrators specifically find willful misconduct by that Party.

XVII.           Applicable Law

17.0 This Agreement shall be governed by the laws in effect in the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

XVIII.      Notices Under the Agreement

18.0 All written communications and notices between the parties shall be delivered or sent by prepaid mail, registered mail or facsimile transmission to the attention of the party at the addresses first written above, or any other addresses of which either party shall notify the other party in writing. Notices sent by prepaid or registered mail shall be effective on the date delivered and notices sent by facsimile shall be effective on the date transmitted.

XIX.               Extended Meaning

19.0 The use of the singular in this Agreement shall include the plural and vice versa.

XX.                    Force Majeure

An event beyond a party’s control includes a strike, labor dispute, action of a government and an act of God.

XXI.               Currency

21.0 All amounts due under this Agreement shall be paid in United States Dollars and shall be calculated into United States Dollars using the exchange rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the date that the payment is due.
