WHEREAS the Licensor is the sole owner of United States Letters Patent No. 2,109,400 issued February 22, 1938, for "Esters of Testosterone and process of making same;" and

WHEREAS the Licensee wishes to acquire from the Licensor a license under the said Letters Patent and under such other letters patent and applications therefor in the male sex hormone field as the Licensor may from time to time acquire, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated;

Now THEREFORE the parties hereto, each in consideration of the covenants of the other herein contained, hereby agree as follows:

1. (a) The Licensor hereby grants to the Licensee upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated a nonexclusive, nonassignable license to manufacture, use and sell the products described and claimed in the said Letters Patent and to practice the processes described and claimed therein throughout the United States of America, its territories and possessions, but only in the male sex hormone field, for a period beginning January 1, 1940, and ending at the end of the term for

which the last expiring patent that may be included in this license is or shall be granted or sooner as hereinafter provided.

(b) The Licensor shall give to the Licensee written notice at least 3 months prior to offering for sale any product described or claimed in or made in accordance with any process described or claimed in any United States Letters Patent or application therefor now or hereafter acquired by the Licensor in the male sex hormone field (other than United States Letters Patent No. 2,109,400); and the Licensor shall specify in said notice the prices, forms and standards for the sale of the product as provided in Article 7 of this Agreement; and thereupon the said Letters Patent or the said application and the letters patent issuing thereon shall forthwith become included in the license hereby granted.

2. (a) Neither party hereto shall, without the written consent of the other party first obtained in each instance, give any license or sublicense, or any right of exploitation covering any of the products of the said letters patent or applications therefor, or of the processes relating thereto, except that the Licensor may without the Licensee's consent grant any such license or right to Schering Corporation, Bloomfield, New Jersey, and Rare Chemicals, Inc., Nepera Park, New York. (b) The Licensee shall manufacture under this license only in its own plant or plants located in the United States of America and distribution of products under this license shall be made only by the Licensee and only under a single corporate name and/or trade name.

(c) The Licensor shall pay unto the Licensee during the period commencing January 1, 1940, and ending December 31, 1954, thirteen and two-thirds per cent (13%) of all the royalties received by the Licensor from all licenses granted under the said letters patent or applications therefor to others than Schering Corporation and Rare Chemicals, Inc.

3. (a) The Licensee shall pay unto the Licensor a royalty or license fee of 3% of the Licensee's turn-over in the United States during the period commencing January 1, 1940, and ending December 31, 1954, of all products and preparations containing male sex hormones.

(b) The "male sex hormone field" includes all products and preparations containing male sex hormones of natural or synthetic origin and/or such substances as increase their effectiveness (activators), but activators only insofar as used as such. "Male sex hormones" mean hormones of the sterol series, as, for instance, androsterone or testosterone, or their derivatives, as well as any materials having similar effects, and materials with physiological and clinical effects analogous to those of testosterone and antrosterone insofar as they may be used therapeutically like testosterone and androsterone, and all materials derived from the male sex organs, but not materials and compounds with prevailing cortin or female hormone character and not aphrodisiacs like yohimbime, and not prolan or other like materials derived from urine or serum, and not prolan-like extracts from the hypophysis or other organs.

(c) The Licensor's right to royalties on such turn-over shall not depend on whether or not the process described and claimed in said letters patent is used for the manufacture of male sex hormone products or preparations and shall not depend on whether or to what extent patent protection shall be maintained for said products or preparations in the United States of America, its territories and possessions.

(d) No royalty shall be payable on the Licensee's turn-over of its present preparation "Hombreol," but royalties shall be payable on "neo-hombreol" and on any preparation that constitutes a modification or alteration of "hombreol" in its present form.

(e) The turn-over subject to royalty shall be determined by deducting from the sum of all invoices sent out by the Licensee during the period (whether such invoices are paid or not) 2% of such invoices as representing the cost of the outer shipping or mailing containers; ordinary trade discounts incurred, allowed, or paid by Licensee; and stamp taxes and other public taxes directly imposed on the sale of said products; but no commissions, cost of distribution, overhead, or any other deduction of any kind or nature whatsoever. For products not distributed by the Licensee in whole or in part directly to the trade or to physicians or hospitals, but distributed through agents, the turn-over subject to royalty shall be determined on the basis of the invoices of such agents to such agents' customers.

4. (a) The Licensee shall render to the Licensor at the end of each quarter of each calendar year a statement setting forth separately for each product for each month of said quarter the royalty and the turn-over for each such quarter,
