separate, mutually acceptable written agreement, with respect
thereto, if any, and further provided that neither GTX nor Orion
shall either itself conduct such Other Activities or grant any
Third Party the right to do so unless (I) GTX has provided
Orion notice that it is not interested in conducting such Other
Activity, or (II) GTX has failed to provided Orion with such
notice of its interest in conducting such Other Activity within

writing. Within
thirty (30) days after GTX receives any such notification from
Orion, GTX shall inform Orion if GTX desires to negotiate the terms
and conditions under which Orion would be willing to grant GTX a
license and other support from Orion to conduct the Other
Activities that are the subject of such notice. If GTX so notifies
Orion of its interest, then the Parties shall negotiate exclusively
with each other on a binding, commercially reasonable license
agreement under which Orion would grant GTX a license to conduct
such Other Activities and Orion would provide other related support
to GTX, provided that GTX’s right to conduct such Other
Activity shall be subject to and conditioned by, and become
effective only upon the execution by the Parties of a separate,
mutually acceptable written agreement, if any, with respect
thereto. Such negotiations shall continue for up to one hundred and
eighty (180) days after Orion receives such notification from
GTX. If GTX fails to provide written notice to Orion of GTX’s
interest in conducting such Other Activities by the end of such
thirty (30) day period, or if the Parties, despite conducting
good faith negotiations, are unable to finalize and execute a
binding license agreement within such one hundred and eighty
(180) day period, then GTX shall have no rights with respect
to such Other Activities, and Orion or its Affiliate shall have the
right to conduct such Other Activities alone or together with a
Third Party(ies) without any obligation to GTX. Orion shall not
grant a license to any Third Party to commercialize products
containing Toremifene for such Other Activities unless and until
(I) GTX has provided Orion notice that it is not interested in
conducting such Other Activity, or (II) GTX has failed to
provide Orion with such notice of its interest in conducting such
Other Activity within such thirty (30) day period, or
(III) the Parties fail to execute such binding license
agreement within such one hundred eighty (180) day period,
which ever of items (I)-(III) occur first.
(iv) If GTX desires to conduct Other Activities, then
GTX shall promptly notify Orion in writing of GTX’s desire to
conduct such Other Activity and the terms and conditions under
which GTX would be willing to obtain a license to conduct such
Other Activities and other related support from Orion, provided
that any such license to GTX to conduct such Other Activity shall
be subject to and conditioned by, and become effective only upon
the execution by the Parties of a separate, mutually acceptable
written agreement, if any (“Additional Agreement”). If
GTX so notifies Orion of its interest, then the Parties shall
discuss, and as appropriate, negotiate exclusively with each other
with regard to an Additional Agreement for up to one hundred and
eighty (180) days after Orion receives such notification from
GTX. If the Parties are unable to or do not finalize and execute
such Additional Agreement within such one hundred and eighty
(180) day period, then GTX shall have no rights with respect
to such Other Activities, and Orion or its Affiliate shall have the
right to itself conduct such Other Activities or to grant to such
Third Party a license and/or other right to conduct such Other
Activities without further obligation to GTX with respect
thereto.
(v) Any deadlines provided in this
Section 2.1.5(b) may be extended by mutual written agreement
of the Parties. GTX’s rights under this Section 2.1.5(b)
shall apply on an indication by indication basis.
2.2 No Implied
Licenses. Any rights not expressly granted by either Party to
the other Party in this Agreement are expressly reserved by the
Party owning or controlling such rights and, accordingly, no
licenses other than those specified herein shall be deemed granted
by this Agreement by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

2.3 United
States Government Rights. In the event it is determined that
any GTX Patent Rights were developed with the support of the United
States Government or any agency thereof (the
“Government”), the Government will retain rights in the
GTX Patent Rights as set forth in Title 35 U.S.C. §200 et seq.
All rights herein granted to GTX are subject to any such rights
held by the Government and further subject to any restrictions or
obligations that may be imposed by the Government pursuant to such
rights, at such time that it is determined.
2.4
Orion’s Right of First Negotiation .
2.4.1 Whereas Orion has considerable knowledge and
experience in the marketing, sales and distribution of
pharmaceutical products in, inter alia, Scandinavia (which term
shall for purpose of this Section 2.4 comprise the countries
of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden), GTX undertakes to regard
Orion as its preferential partner for the marketing, sales and
distribution of the Product in Scandinavia for use in the Field.
Consequently, GTX grants, and shall cause its Affiliates and
Unaffiliated Sublicensees who receive a sublicense under the
license granted to GTX pursuant to Section 2.1.1 in
Scandinavia to grant, to Orion a right of first negotiation to
negotiate in good faith an agreement(s) under commercially
reasonable terms and conditions regarding the marketing, sales
and/or distribution by Orion of the Product in Scandinavia for use
in the Field, with the express understanding that such commercially
reasonable terms and conditions shall not comprise an obligation to
develop and register the Product for use in the Field in any
country of Scandinavia.
2.4.2 Within thirty (30) days after Orion’s
receipt of a first written offer from GTX regarding commercially
reasonable terms and conditions governing such rights, Orion shall
notify GTX in writing if it wishes to negotiate the terms and
conditions under which Orion could obtain the rights contemplated
in this Section 2.4. Should Orion so exercise such right, the
Parties shall negotiate exclusively with each other and in good
faith the commercially reasonable terms and conditions for a
license and distribution agreement for the marketing, sales and
distribution by Orion of the Product in Scandinavia for use in the
Field, such negotiations to be completed within one hundred and
eighty (180) days from the date of Orion’s notification
to GTX. Any deadlines may be extended by mutual agreement upon
reasonable request. If Orion fails to provide written notification
to GTX by the end of the thirty (30) day period; Orion
notifies GTX that it does not wish to enter into negotiations; or
the Parties, despite conducting good faith negotiations, are unable
to finalize the material commercial terms of agreement within such
one hundred and eighty (180) day period (any such event, a
“Termination of the Orion Right”), Orion shall have no
further right under this Agreement to market, sell and distribute
the Product in Scandinavia and GTX shall be free to offer to or
enter into an agreement with any Third Party or any GTX Affiliate
with respect to such activities after the Termination of the Orion
Right occurs.
2.4.3 In the event that GTX’s Unaffiliated Sublicensee
for Product for use in the Field in the USA does not obtain the
right and license to sell, have sold, import, market and distribute
the Product in the Field in Europe at the time of execution of the
sublicense agreement for the Product for use in the Field in the
USA, then Orion shall, on the terms and conditions of
Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, have a right of first negotiation to
negotiate in good faith an agreement(s) under commercially
reasonable terms and conditions regarding the marketing, sales
and/or distribution of the Product for use in the Field in
Europe.

Sections 3.1.6 and 20.2.2.
3.1.4 Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1.6 and
20.2.2, in the event GTX receives running royalty income from GTX
Unaffiliated Sublicensees for sublicensing GTX’s rights in
and to the Product for use in the Field and/or based upon sales by
GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensees of Product for use in the Field in
the Territory (“Royalty Income”), GTX shall during the
Term pay Orion the lesser of, on a country by country basis, either
(i) [ * ] of such Royalty Income; or (ii) [ * ] of
such GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensees, provided, however, that in no
event shall the amounts due to Orion pursuant to this
Section 3.1.4 be [ * ] of Net Sales of such GTX
Unaffiliated Sublicensees.
3.1.5 As of December 31, 2000, an upfront license fee
of four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) (the “Upfront
License Fee”), was paid in full by GTX to Orion. This payment
shall be creditable by GTX against fees or payments due to Orion
with respect to Upfront and Milestone Income pursuant to
Section 3.1.1.

] of the amount otherwise due to Orion pursuant to either
Section 3.1.3 or 3.1.4, as applicable, with regard to such
country with such reduction to be applicable to the immediately
succeeding calendar quarter only.
3.2
Non-Refundability . All milestone payments GTX makes to Orion
pursuant to Section 3.1.1 shall be non-refundable once paid.

currency of the country where the Net Sales on the sales giving
rise to payments were made and then converted directly to its
equivalent in U.S. dollars. The rates of exchange for converting
the currencies involved to U.S. dollars shall be the Foreign
Exchange Rates quoted in the Wall Street Journal rate on the last
business day of the quarterly period in which the royalty payments

Royalties Payable Between Affiliates. No royalties shall be
payable to a Party on sales between the other Party, its Affiliates
or between the Party’s Affiliates.

(but not more frequently than once in any calendar year), the
requesting Party may retain an independent certified public
accountant, subject to approval by the other Party (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld), to review such records to
verify the accuracy of the payments made or payable hereunder. Such
accountant shall be required to execute a confidentiality agreement

such review, the Parties shall reconcile any underpayment or
overcharge. The auditing Party shall pay the cost of any review of
records conducted at its request under this Section. However, if
the review establishes underpayment or overcharge by the audited
Party of over three percent (3%) during the period of the review,
the audited Party shall promptly reimburse the auditing Party for
the fees and expenses of the accountant. Such audit rights may be

GTX PRODUCT MARKETING AND
SALES ACTIVITIES
6.1 Minimum
Sales Requirements for USA .
6.1.1 Levels of MSRs. GTX shall have annual minimum sales
requirements for Product for use in the Field (“MSRs”)
in the second year and fourth year after Product Launch in the USA
equal to [ * ] of GTX’s annual Product Sales
Projections (as defined below) in the USA. To establish such
projections for the purpose of the foregoing sentence, GTX shall
provide to Orion annual Product Sales Projections in the USA within
ninety (90) days after GTX, its Affiliate or Unaffiliated
Sublicensee completes the last pivotal clinical trial as provided
in the GTX Final Development and Registration Plan for Product in
the USA. The Parties shall set forth in Schedule D GTX’s
MSR obligations within sixty (60) days after GTX provides such
projections, and such MSRs shall be made a part hereof. Beginning
with the [ * ] year after Product Launch in USA for use in
the Field until the end of the Term, GTX shall have an annual MSR
equal to [ * ] of the average of GTX’s Actual Product
Sales (as defined below) in the USA for Product in the Field for
the [ * ] . “Product Sales Projections” means
GTX’s good faith estimates of the target patient population
in a given year for Products in the Field, multiplied by the price
per tablet of Product for use in the Field that GTX plans to be
able to charge during the [ * ] after Product Launch.
“Actual Product Sales” means GTX’s, its
Affiliate’s or a GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensee’s actual
Net Sales of Product in the Field during a given year in the
USA.
For example, in
year [ * ] if the target patient population is [ * ]
subjects in the Field and the Product would be consumed [ *
] for the Field at a hypothetical price of [ * ] ,
GTX’s Product Sales Projections would [ * ] . The
hypothetical price for a tablet set forth above is hypothetical and
was only used for the sole purpose of explaining the mechanism for
calculating the Product Sales Projections and MSRs. Nothing
contained in such example shall be so construed to deny the right
of GTX to freely set its resale price of the Product.
6.1.2 Product Launch Date. “Product Launch in
USA” shall be determined by the date on which the Product has
received Regulatory Approval and is commercially available in the
USA as follows: (i) if such date occurs during the first six
(6) months of any calendar year (i.e., January 1-June 30),
Product Launch in USA shall be deemed to have

occurred on
January 1 of such calendar year, and (ii) if such date occurs
during the last six (6) months of any calendar year (i.e.,
July 1-December 31), Product Launch in USA shall be deemed to have
occurred on January 1 of the following calendar year.
6.1.3 Adjustment. GTX’s annual Product Sales
Projections for the Field in the USA shall be subject to adjustment
by written agreement of the Parties, with a corresponding
adjustment in the MSRs, in the event of government intervention in
given markets (including, but not limited to, government mandated
health care reforms, rebates or regulatory changes), failure to
obtain (or delay in obtaining) approval for a Product indication in
the Field, or other events or causes affecting the market for the
Product for use in the Field beyond the control of GTX, including
but not limited to lower than anticipated pricing approvals
measured on an aggregate basis throughout USA; GTX Patent Rights
and/or Orion Patent Rights invalidation, infringement or
expiration; Product safety and/or efficacy issues and/or major
therapeutic advances materially affecting the market potential for
the Product for use in the Field (including but not limited to new
surgical procedures or introduction of new competitive products
with superior safety and/or efficacy profiles); or a Force Majeure
event (as described in Section 26).
6.1.4 Failure to Achieve MSRs. If GTX’s annual Product
Sales in USA for the Field are less than the MSRs in any applicable
calendar year, GTX shall, without prejudice to its payment
obligations under Section 3.1, pay Orion royalties
corresponding to the “shortfall” between the actual
royalties paid by GTX for such year and the royalties which would
have been payable pursuant to Section 3.1 had GTX achieved the
MSRs during such year. GTX’s payment of such
“shortfall” hereunder shall be Orion’s sole and
exclusive remedy for GTX’s failure to achieve MSRs in USA for
such year. However, if GTX fails to pay such
“shortfall,” then Orion may, without prejudice to its
right to such shortfall, also terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 20.2.2.
6.2 No Minimum
Sales Requirements Outside of USA . GTX shall not have any MSRs
with respect to sale of the Product in any countries in GTX
Territory outside of the USA.
6.3 Marketing
and Sales Efforts in the Major Countries
6.3.1 Commercially Reasonable Obligation. On a country by
country basis, subject to Sections 6.3 and 6.4, during the period
commencing with Regulatory Approval in a Major Country, and for the
remainder of the Term, GTX, its Affiliate and/or a GTX Unaffiliated
Sublicensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promote,
market, distribute and sell the Product for use in the Field in the
Major Countries. For purposes of this Section 6.3,
“commercially reasonable” shall mean using, in each of
the Major Countries, an equivalent degree of effort as GTX, its
Affiliate or a GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensee would use to promote,
market, distribute and sell a product of it own that is of
comparable market potential in the respective Major Countries
during the same time period (as determined by consideration of,
without limitation, potential market, patent protection, and
availability of competitive products), including but not limited
to, engaging in the following activities (subject to any applicable
U.S. FDA restrictions or other applicable legal
restrictions):

(a) Using reasonable diligence to establish and
maintain good business relationships with hospitals, health
systems, doctors and other medical professionals in accordance with
standard and customary practices in the Major Countries;
(b) Using commercially reasonable efforts to establish
and maintain an adequate capacity of sales personnel consisting of
reasonably qualified personnel who have been certified, as trained
by GTX, its Affiliate or a GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensee, to promote
and market the Product for use in the Field in the Major Countries,
and to provide such sales force with adequate sales and promotional
materials for the Product;
(c) Promoting and detailing the Product for use in the
Field throughout the Major Countries, provided that GTX, its
Affiliate or a GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensee may, in its discretion
use relatively greater promotional and detailing efforts
(i) in some Major Countries than it uses in other of such
countries, and (ii) in some parts of each Major Country than
in other parts thereof, consistent with its overall marketing plan;
and further provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no event
be deemed to limit GTX’s its Affiliate or a GTX Unaffiliated
Sublicensee overall obligations under the first paragraph of this
Section 6.3.1.
(d) Advertising the Product for use in the Field in
professional journals and publications and sponsoring or attending
appropriate symposia, trade exhibitions and medical education
programs in a manner equivalent to that used for GTX’s, its
Affiliate’s or a GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensee’s, as
applicable, own products of comparable market potential in such
Major Country; and
(e) Formulating and using reasonable efforts to
implement annual sales and marketing plans for the Product for use
in the Field in the Major Countries and providing copies of such
plans to Orion for review and comment, provided that Orion shall
not have approval rights with respect to such plans.
6.3.2 Sales Objectives and Other Factors for the USA. GTX
and Orion shall agree in writing upon annual target sales
objectives for the Product for use in the Field in the USA,
commencing with the fourth calendar year after First Commercial
Sale of the Product for use in the Field in the USA, provided that
such annual target sales objectives shall not be considered MSRs
for any purposes, but instead shall be used by the Parties for
informational and planning purposes and shall be one
(1) factor, among others, to be considered in assessing
whether GTX has complied with its commercially reasonable
obligations hereunder. GTX’s level of sales and marketing
expenses for the Product for use in the Field in the USA and events
or causes affecting the market for the Product for use in the Field
beyond the control of GTX shall also be among the factors to be
considered in assessing whether GTX has complied with its
commercially reasonable obligations hereunder.
6.4.1 Timing of Launch. GTX shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to launch the Product for use in a given
indication in the Field as soon as practical in every Major Country
of the GTX Territory where GTX, its Affiliates and/or GTX

Affiliate or a
GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensee may, acting in good faith in the
exercise of its reasonable business judgment, determine either to
delay the launch of the Product for use in a given indication in
the Field or not to launch the Product for use in a given
indication in the Field in any given country in the GTX Territory
other than a Major Country, which decision to delay or not to
launch shall not be deemed a failure to use commercially reasonable
efforts. Further, GTX’s, its Affiliates’ or a GTX
Unaffiliated Sublicensee’s decision to delay the launch of
the Product for use in the Field in any Major Country for up to six
(6) months after GTX or its Affiliates have obtained
Regulatory Approval in such country, shall not be deemed a failure
to use commercially reasonable efforts pursuant to Section 6.3
to the extent that GTX can demonstrate that such delay was
attributable to bona fide business reasons affecting the
Product.
6.4.2 Decisions Not to Launch. GTX shall promptly notify
Orion in writing if GTX, its Affiliate or a GTX Unaffiliated
Sublicensee, as applicable, determines to delay the launch of the
Product for use in a given indication in the Field in any Major
Country after obtaining Regulatory Approval of Product therefor. If
such decision is due to any reasons other than the potential for,
or the existence of, adverse business effects in such Major
Country, then such decision shall be deemed a material breach of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 20.2.2 and GTX shall be
subject to the provisions of such Section within thirty days
(30) after GTX’s decision not to launch in such Major
Country.
6.5 Marketing
Costs and Expenses. Except as other-wise provided herein or as
otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, GTX, its Affiliate or a
GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensee shall bear all costs and expenses
connected with its marketing and sales activities for the Product
for use in the Field and its performance under this
Agreement.
6.6 Marketing
Plans and Reports .
6.6.1 Marketing Plans. GTX shall develop and provide to
Orion by October 31 of each year during the Term marketing and
sales plans for the Product for each Major Country for the
following calendar year, commencing with the calendar year in which
Regulatory Approval is obtained in each respective country. Such
plans shall include the projected Annual Net Sales and the
projected advertising and promotion budgets for such year, and
shall not be applicable to the calculation of MSRs pursuant to
