Each party agrees to cooperate in any action under this Article that is controlled by the other party, provided that the controlling party reimburses the cooperating party promptly for any costs and expenses incurred by the cooperating party in connection with providing such assistance. 7.7 Right to Sublicense. So long as BIOMARIN remains the exclusive licensee of the PATENT RIGHTS in the THERAPEUTIC FIELD in the TERRITORY, COMPANY shall have the sole right to sublicense any alleged infringer in the THERAPEUTIC FIELD in the TERRITORY for future use of the PATENT RIGHTS in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement relating to sublicenses. Any upfront fees as part of such sublicense shall be shared equally between BIOMARIN and M.I.T.; other revenues to BIOMARIN pursuant to such sublicense shall be treated as set forth in Article 4. 8. Indemnification and Insurance. 8.1 Indemnification. (a) Indemnity. BIOMARIN shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless M.I.T. and its trustees, officers, faculty, students, employees, and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the "Indemnitees"), against any liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) incurred by or imposed upon any of the Indemnitees in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments arising out of any theory of liability (including without limitation actions in the form of tort, warranty, or strict liability and regardless of whether such action has any factual basis) concerning any product, process, or service that is made, used, sold, imported, or performed pursuant to any right or license granted under this Agreement. (b) Procedures. The Indemnitees agree to provide BIOMARIN with prompt written notice of any claim, suit, action, demand, or judgment for which indemnification is sought under this Agreement. BIOMARIN agrees, at its own expense, to provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to M.I.T. to defend against any such claim. The Indemnitees shall cooperate fully with BIOMARIN in such defense and will permit BIOMARIN to conduct and control such defense and the disposition of such claim, suit, or action (including all decisions relative to litigation, appeal, and settlement); provided, however, that any Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, at the expense of BIOMARIN, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by BIOMARIN would be inappropriate because of actual or potential differences in the interests of such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel. BIOMARIN agrees to keep M.I.T. informed of the progress in the defense and disposition of such claim and to consult with M.I.T. with regard to any proposed settlement. 15 8.2 Insurance.

BIOMARIN shall continue to maintain such insurance or self-insurance after the expiration or termination of this Agreement during any period in which BIOMARIN or any AFFILIATE or SUBLICENSEE continues (i) to make, use, or sell a product that was a LICENSED PRODUCT under this Agreement or (ii) to perform a service that was a LICENSED PROCESS under this Agreement, and thereafter for a period of five (5) years. 9. No Representations or Warranties. EXCEPT AS MAY OTHERWISE BE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, M.I.T. MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE PATENT RIGHTS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, VALIDITY OF PATENT RIGHTS CLAIMS, WHETHER ISSUED OR PENDING, AND THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE.

SHALL BE ADVISED, SHALL HAVE OTHER REASON TO KNOW, OR IN FACT SHALL KNOW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE FOREGOING. 10. Assignment. This Agreement is personal to COMPANY and no rights or obligations may be assigned by COMPANY without the prior written consent of M.I.T., except that COMPANY may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without such prior consent to an AFFILIATE or to a successor in connection with the merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or that portion of its business to which this Agreement relates; provided, however, that this Agreement shall immediately terminate if the proposed assignee, including an AFFILIATE, fails to agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement on or before the effective date of the assignment. 11. General Compliance with Laws 11.1 Compliance with Laws. BIOMARIN shall use reasonable commercial efforts to comply with all commercially material local, state, federal, and international laws and regulations relating to the development, manufacture, use, and sale of LICENSED PRODUCTS and LICENSED PROCESSES. 17 11.2 Export Control. BIOMARIN and its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES shall comply with all United States laws and regulations controlling the export of certain commodities and technical data, including without limitation all Export Administration Regulations of the United States Department of Commerce. Among other things, these laws and regulations prohibit or require a license for the export of certain types of commodities and technical data to specified countries. BIOMARIN hereby gives written assurance that it will comply with, and will cause its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES to comply with, all United States export control laws and regulations, that it bears sole responsibility for any violation of such laws and regulations by itself or its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, and that it will indemnify, defend, and hold M.I.T. harmless (in accordance with Section 8.1) for the consequences of any such violation. 11.3 Non-Use of M.I.T. Name. BIOMARIN and its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES shall not use the name of "Massachusetts Institute of Technology," "Lincoln Laboratory" or any variation, adaptation, or abbreviation thereof, or of any of its trustees, officers, faculty, students, employees, or agents, or any trademark owned by M.I.T., or any terms of this Agreement in any promotional material or other public announcement or disclosure without the prior written consent of M.I.T. The foregoing notwithstanding, without the consent of M.I.T., BIOMARIN may state that it is licensed by M.I.T. under one or more of the patents and/or patent applications comprising the PATENT RIGHTS. 11.4 Marking of LICENSED PRODUCTS. To the extent commercially feasible and consistent with prevailing business practices, BIOMARIN shall mark, and shall cause its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES to mark, all LICENSED PRODUCTS that are manufactured or sold under this Agreement with the number of at least one issued patent under the PATENT RIGHTS that applies to such LICENSED PRODUCT. 12. Termination. 12.1 Voluntary Termination by BIOMARIN. BIOMARIN shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, for any reason, (i) upon at least six (6) months prior written notice to M.I.T., such notice to state the date at least six (6) months in the future upon which termination is to be effective, and (ii) upon payment of all amounts due to M.I.T. through such termination effective date. 12.2 Cessation of Business. If BIOMARIN ceases to carry on its business related to this Agreement, M.I.T. shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to BIOMARIN. 18 12.3 Termination for Default. (a) Nonpayment. In the event BIOMARIN fails to pay any amounts due and payable to M.I.T. hereunder, and fails to make such payments within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of such failure, M.I.T. may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to BIOMARIN. (b) Material Breach. In the event BIOMARIN commits a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, except for breach as described in Section 12.3(a), and fails to cure that breach within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice thereof, M.I.T. may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to BIOMARIN. 12.4 Effect of Termination. (a) Survival. The following provisions shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement: Articles 1, 8, 9, 13 and 14, and Sections 5.2 (obligation to provide final report and payment), 5.4, 11.1, 11.2 and 12.4. (b) Inventory. Upon the early termination of this Agreement, BIOMARIN and its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES may complete and sell any work-in-progress and inventory of LICENSED PRODUCTS that exist as of the effective date of termination, provided that (i) BIOMARIN pays M.I.T. the applicable running royalty or other amounts due on such sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) BIOMARIN and its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES shall complete and sell all work-in-progress and inventory of LICENSED PRODUCTS within six (6) months after the effective date of termination. (c) Pre-termination Obligations. In no event shall termination of this Agreement release BIOMARIN, AFFILIATES, or SUBLICENSEES from the obligation to pay any amounts that became due on or before the effective date of termination. 13. Dispute Resolution. 13.1 Mandatory Procedures. The parties agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved solely by means of the procedures set forth in this Article, and that such procedures constitute legally binding obligations that are an essential provision of this Agreement. If either party fails to observe the procedures of this Article, as may be modified by their written agreement, the other party may bring an action for specific performance of these procedures in any court of competent jurisdiction. 19 13.2 Equitable Remedies. Although the procedures specified in this Article are the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, either party may seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional equitable relief if, in its reasonable judgment, such action is necessary to avoid irreparable harm to itself or to preserve its rights under this Agreement. 13.3 Dispute Resolution Procedures. (a) Mediation. In the event any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement remains unresolved within sixty (60) days from the date the affected party informed the other party of such dispute, either party may initiate mediation upon written notice to the other party ("Notice Date"), whereupon both parties shall be obligated to engage in a mediation proceeding under the then current Center for Public Resources ("CPR") Model Procedure for Mediation of Business Disputes (http://www.cpradr.org), except that specific provisions of this Article shall override inconsistent provisions of the CPR Model Procedure. The mediator will be selected from the CPR Panels of Neutrals. If the parties cannot agree upon the selection of a mediator within fifteen (15) business days after the Notice Date, then upon the request of either party, the CPR shall appoint the mediator. The parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation until the first of the following occurs: (i) the parties reach a written settlement; (ii) the mediator notifies the parties in writing that they have reached an impasse; (iii) the parties agree in writing that they have reached an impasse; or (iv) the parties have not reached a settlement within sixty (60) days after the Notice Date. (b) Trial Without Jury. If the parties fail to resolve the dispute through mediation, or if neither party elects to initiate mediation, each party shall have the right to pursue any other remedies legally available to resolve the dispute, provided, however, that the parties expressly waive any right to a jury trial in any legal proceeding under this Article. 13.4 Performance to Continue. Each party shall continue to perform its undisputed obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that a party may suspend performance of its undisputed obligations during any period in which the other party fails or refuses to perform its undisputed obligations. Nothing in this Article is intended to relieve BIOMARIN from its obligation to make undisputed payments pursuant to Articles 4 and 6 of this Agreement. 20 13.5 Statute of Limitations. The parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches) shall be tolled while the procedures set forth in Sections 13.3(a) are pending. The parties shall cooperate in taking any actions necessary to achieve this result. 14. Miscellaneous. 14.1 Notice. Any notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement, and shall be sent by hand, recognized national overnight courier, confirmed facsimile transmission, confirmed electronic mail, or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the following addresses or facsimile numbers of the parties: If to M.I.T.: Technology Licensing Office, Room NE25-230 Massachusetts Institute of Technology 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139-4307 Attention: Director Tel: 617-253-6966 Fax: 617-258-6790 If to BIOMARIN: BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. 371 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Suite 210 Novato, CA 94949 Attention: Emil Kakkis, M.D., Ph.D. Tel: 415-884-6704 Fax: 415-382-7889 All notices under this Agreement shall be deemed effective upon receipt.

Neither party will be responsible for delays resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of such party, including without limitation fire, explosion, flood, war, strike, or riot, provided that the nonperforming party uses commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and resumes performance under this Agreement with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed. 14.4 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified only by means of a written instrument signed by both parties. Any waiver of any rights or failure to act in a specific instance shall relate only to such instance and shall not be construed as an agreement to waive any rights or fail to act in any other instance, whether or not similar. 14.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Agreement to preserve (to the extent possible) their original intent. If the parties fail to reach a modified agreement within thirty (30) days after the relevant provision is held invalid or unenforceable, then the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 13. While the dispute is pending resolution, this Agreement shall be construed as if such provision were deleted by agreement of the parties. 14.6 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. 14.7 Headings. All headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of this Agreement. 22 14.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings between the parties relating to its subject matter. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives. The EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement is September 5, 2002.
