For clarity, the Development Plan does not apply to the Development Product or the Non-Elan Development Product.

2.2

For the purposes of clarity, the License Agreement as amended, the agreements incorporated by reference in the License Agreement, Supply Agreement and Amendment No. 1 shall continue to govern the development, commercialization and commercial supply of the First Product.

2.3

At appropriate times during the Term, Elan and Acorda agree that they will discuss in good faith any clarifications as may be required to any operational provisions in the License and Supply Agreement to support the development, commercialization and commercial supply of any Development Product.

3.	Development and Project Management (Development Product)

3.1

Without prejudice to Acorda’s rights to cease development of the Development Product at any time, throughout the Term and in accordance with the Further Development Plan and the applicable Work Plan(s), Elan and Acorda shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop Development Product in accordance with the Further Development Plan(s). For the purpose of clarity, Acorda, in its sole discretion, may choose to cease development of the Development Product in the event that Acorda determines that continuing such development is no longer commensurate with the achievement of its own business aims. The decision not to further develop, if made by Acorda, shall not be subject to review by the Committee nor shall it be subject to arbitration under Section 12.14 of the License Agreement.

3.2

The Further Development Plan and the applicable Work Plan(s) set forth the agreed respective responsibilities of Elan and Acorda with respect to the development of the Development Product. Without prejudice to Acorda’s right to cease development at any time during the term of the Further Development Plan, Elan and Acorda shall undertake their respective obligations under the Further Development Plan and the applicable Work Plan(s) on a collaborative basis and using commercially reasonable efforts. Changes may be made to the Further Development Plan by mutual, written agreement of the parties through the Committee referenced in Section 10 of the License Agreement, which written agreement shall be set forth in an amendment to the Further Development Plan and/or Work Plan, as applicable.

3.3

Detailed development work shall be agreed and set out by the parties in one or more Work Plans, which shall be in a form broadly similar to the Work Plan format attached hereto as Schedule 2. Each Work Plan must be mutually agreed by both parties and accepted and signed by a duly authorized representative of both parties. Executed Work Plans shall form a part of this Agreement.

3.4

Within two (2) weeks of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the parties will establish a project team (“Project Team”), which shall convene regularly to keep the parties fully informed as to their progress with its respective tasks and obligations under the Further Development Plan and Work Plan(s). The Project Team shall monitor the progress of such activities.

3.5	Elan and Acorda shall update each other at meetings of the Committee as to the progress of their respective obligations under the Further Development Plan and the Work Plan(s).

Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality.

Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets [ ] and an asterisk*,

have been separately filed with the Commission.

3.6

The parties shall co-operate in good faith through the Project Team and the Committee particularly with respect to unknown problems and contingencies and shall perform their respective obligations in a commercially reasonable, diligent and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines.

3.7

Provided that a party uses reasonable endeavours to meet its obligations under this Agreement, it shall have no liability to the other as a result of any failure or delay of the Development Product to achieve any of the goals set out in the Further Development Plan or a Work Plan(s), nor for any failure of a Development Product to obtain NDA Approval or Regulatory Approval.

4.	Non-Elan Development Product

4.1

Acorda shall afford Elan a reasonable opportunity to develop a formulation meeting the Selection Criteria, and Elan and Acorda shall reasonably cooperate to enable that opportunity. The parties further agree that the entry into this Agreement and the performance of the Further Development Plan set out in Schedule 1 meet this obligation in respect of Elan being afforded a reasonable opportunity and provided with the Selection Criteria for the Development Product, as they exist as of the Effective Date.

4.2	Subject to Clause 4.3, in the event that Acorda selects to commercialize the formulation of a Non-Elan Developer, Acorda shall discuss the reasons for its selection with Elan.

4.3

Elan acknowledges and agrees that the final decision on which formulation to develop and commercialize is within Acorda’s sole discretion and that such decision is not subject to review or dispute by Elan through the Committee nor is subject to the arbitration provisions set out in Section 12.14 of the License Agreement. Acorda shall promptly disclose any agreed key financial terms of any commercialization agreement with the Non-Elan Developer to Elan, which Elan shall maintain as confidential under the confidentiality provisions of Section 12.1 of the License Agreement.

4.4	Subject to the foregoing and to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Acorda shall be entitled, through itself or any sublicensees, to select and commercialize one Non-Elan Development Product meeting the Selection Criteria.

4.5

Acorda shall afford Elan a reasonable opportunity to develop any other formulations containing Compound or Alternate Compound not covered by this Agreement. For the avoidance of any doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute (i) Elan’s consent to the commercialisation of any other subsequent Non-Elan Development Product nor any Non-Elan Development Product that meets different selection criteria or (ii) a limitation on Acorda’s existing development rights under Section 12.15 of the License Agreement.

4.6

Where Acorda elects to commercialize a Non-Elan Development Product, Acorda and Elan shall generally coordinate and manage their business relationship relating to the commercialization of the Non-Elan Development Product through the Committee that is referred to in Article 10 of the License Agreement. The Committee shall also resolve any disputed issues (excluding any issues which may arise over Acorda’s formulation selection under Clause 4.3 or ceasing to develop or not developing Development Product under Clause 3.1) that may arise between the Parties per Section 10.3 of the License Agreement

Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality.

have been separately filed with the Commission.

including submission to arbitration under Article 12.14. Through the Committee, Acorda shall keep Elan reasonably informed of those matters relating to the Non-Elan Development Product which reasonably affect Elan’s interests, including the general progress of development, objectives for and commercial performance of the Non-Elan Development Product, clinical and regulatory filings, sales performance and sales forecasts and any actual or threatened litigation or “paragraph IV certifications” pertaining to the Non-Elan Development Product.

4.7

Elan hereby grants to Acorda a non-exclusive, non-transferable (other than to a lawful assignee of the License Agreement) license (the “Compound Know-How and First Product Know-How License”) under the Compound Know-How and First Product Know-How to develop, package, use, import, export, make and have made (subject to Clause 10) Non-Elan Development Product in the Territory and, in addition, to promote, distribute, market, offer for sale and sell the one particular Non-Elan Development Product (if any) that Acorda finally selects to commercialize under this Clause 4 in the Territory. The part of Compound Know-How and First Product Know-How License that enables Acorda to promote, distribute, market, offer for sale and sell any finally selected Non-Elan Development Product shall be sub-licensable to Acorda’s existing sublicensee without Elan consent and to other sublicensees in accordance with the terms as set out in Section 2.3 of the License Agreement for Product; provided that in each case such entitiy is responsible for commercializing Non-Elan Development Product. Acorda and any sublicensee it appoints to commercialize Non-Elan Development Product shall only share Compound Know-How and First Product Know-How with Non-Elan Developers other than itself on a strictly need-to know-basis. This Compound Know-How and First Product Know-How License shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall end upon the expiry of Acorda’s obligations to make payments to Elan in respect of the Non-Elan Development Product, and subject to such payments being duly made shall be irrevocable during that period.

4.8

For clarity, the foregoing provisions shall not be construed as conferring any right or license to use any intellectual property arising from Further Development Plan activities developed solely by Elan or jointly with Elan in connection with the development, manufacture or sale of a Non-Elan Development Product, nor as conferring any liability or obligations on Elan with respect to a Non-Elan Development Product other than as expressly set out Clause 4.7 and in the Non-Elan Development Product Supply Agreement and/or other agreement(s) entered into relating to the supply of Non-Elan Development Product by Elan entered into pursuant to Clause 10 (if any).

5.	Manufacture and Supply of Pre-Commercial Batches of Development Product

5.1	Elan shall use commercially reasonable efforts to manufacture and supply to Acorda such quantity of the Development Product as it may reasonably require to perform its activities under the Further Development Plan and each applicable Work Plan.

5.2	Per Section 3.4 of the License Agreement, supply of Development Product shall be EXW such facility as may be specified in the applicable Work Plan or as Elan may nominate and Acorda shall reasonably approve [*****].

5.3	Acorda’s requests for Development Product shall clearly specify whether such use is for pre-clinical or clinical supply. Where Acorda requests Development Product for clinical

supply, Elan shall manufacture it in accordance with phase specific cGMPs in addition to applicable laws and regulations.

5.4	Clauses 13.2 to 13.8 inclusive of the Supply Agreement (liability) shall apply mutatis mutandis in respect of the supply of pre-commercial supplies of Development Product.

6.	Registration

6.1	Acorda shall be responsible, at its own expense, for conducting such pre-clinical and clinical studies as are required to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Development Product. Elan shall reasonably cooperate with Acorda in obtaining such approvals at Acorda’s expense.

6.2

Elan will prepare and utilize a DMF (or similar structure for international filings) at Acorda’s expense for the Development Product and Acorda shall have a right of reference to the extent required by any regulatory jurisdiction until such time, if any, as Acorda terminates all development programs related to Non-Elan Development Product. Upon receipt of notice of such termination, Elan will discontinue use of the DMF and promptly provide the relevant CMC information to Acorda in support of Acorda’s regulatory filing(s), at Acorda’s expense and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8 of the License Agreement.

7.	Additional Financial Provisions

7.1

Development Fees for Development Product. Acorda shall pay to Elan fees in respect of Elan's activities under this Agreement at a rate of FTE plus [*****], invoiced and payable monthly. Each invoice shall identify the particular work requested by Acorda and performed by Elan under the Work Plan(s) and Further Development Plan(s), as applicable. Further, the provisions of Sections 5.1.3 (development records) and 5.1.4 (third party development costs) of the License Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis; provided, however, that in reference to third party development costs Elan shall have the right to charge Acorda for the time spent by Elan employees in administering the work conducted by such third parties at [*****] as well as the third party development costs incurred by Elan.

7.2

Non-Elan Development Product Compensation. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the License Agreement, in consideration of Elan’s agreement to permit Acorda to commercialize the Non-Elan Development Product on the terms and conditions herein and in consideration of the grant of the Compound Know-How and First Product Know-How License, Acorda shall pay to Elan:

7.2.1

[*****];

7.2.2

[*****];

7.2.3

[*****]; and

7.2.4

[*****];

in each case as if (a) defined terms [*****] and [*****] referred to the Non-Elan Development Product instead of the Product and as if (b) the references in Section 5.3.1 of the License Agreement and defined terms used therein to “Product” additionally referred to the Non-Elan Development Product.

Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality.

Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets [ ] and an asterisk*,

have been separately filed with the Commission.

7.3

Application of Rush Payments Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Acorda shall remain responsible to make payments to Elan under the Rush Payments Agreement in respect of the Development Product or the Non-Elan Development Product, as applicable, on the basis that “NSP” as used therein refers to such products respectively.

7.4	Ancillary.

7.4.1

7.4.4

In respect of payments under Clause 7.2.4 [*****], Sections 5.3.2 to 5.3.5 (payment terms) of the License Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis.

For clarity and as stated above, the manner and method of payment for Non-Elan Development Product are identical to the equivalent terms set out for Product payments in the License Agreement.

8.	Application of License Agreement

In relation to clarifying the precise manner in which the License Agreement applies to the Development Product, in addition to specific citations to sections of the License Agreement herein, Elan and Acorda agree as follows:

8.2	License Provisions. For the purpose of clarification, Elan and Acorda agree that:

8.2.1

the reference in the definition of “Elan Patent Rights” to the infringement by the manufacture, use or sale of the Product is to be read as a reference to infringement by the manufacture, use or sale of the First Product or the Development Product ; and

8.2.2

the references in the definition of “Elan Patent Rights” and “Elan Know How” to development “in connection with the Project” is to be read as if it additionally referred to development pursuant to this Agreement.

In performing its obligations under Section 2.11 of the License Agreement, Acorda shall be entitled to select a commercially reasonable strategy determining the priority as between the First Product on the one hand and the Development Product or Non-Elan Development Product, as the case may be, on the other.

8.5

Royalties. In the event that (a) the Development Product is being commercially sold and (b) Elan is manufacturing one, but not both, of the First Product and the commercially sold Development Product, the Elan Royalty specified in Section 5.6 of the License Agreement shall be calculated separately for the First Product and the Development Product.

8.6

Committee. Article 10 (Committee) of the License Agreement shall be read as if it additionally referred to the Further Development Plan and its budget as appropriate. For clarity, nothing in this Agreement is intended to expand upon the oversight responsibility of the Committee with respect to Product as set forth in Article 10 of the License Agreement.

9.	Development Product Supply Agreement

9.1

Not less than eighteen (18) months prior to the anticipated date of commercial launch of the Development Product, Elan and Acorda shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to the Supply Agreement or a new substantially similar supply agreement in respect of such Development Product (“Development Product Supply Agreement”), which Development Product Supply Agreement shall contain the financial terms set out in this Agreement and any other provisions of this Agreement that pertain to the Development Product, together with one or more quality agreements as appropriate. The decision as to whether to amend the existing Supply Agreement or to create a substantially similar supply agreement for Development Product shall be decided by the Committee.

9.2	The price of the Development Product manufactured by Elan under the applicable Development Product Supply Agreement (or under the applicable amendment to the Supply Agreement) shall [*****]. The foregoing shall be in lieu of the price stated in Clauses 9.3 and 9.4 of the Supply Agreement.

10.2

Within forty-five (45) days of the decision to proceed to commercialization of a Non-Elan Development Product (a “Non-Elan Party Election”), Acorda shall notify Elan in writing, and shall procure that Elan is provided within that period with such information as would normally be made available to a third party manufacturer together with such other information as Elan may reasonably request for the purpose of determining whether it wishes to undertake such manufacture. To this end, Acorda shall procure that the applicable Non-Elan Developer is made available and with Acorda in attendance and shall cooperate fully to answer queries which Elan may have in this regard, subject to the terms of a three-way confidential disclosure agreement to be entered into between Acorda, Elan and the Non-Elan Developer.

10.3

Within ninety (90) days of receipt of all such requested information, Elan shall notify Acorda in writing whether it is willing to and believes that it is able to manufacture such Non-Elan Development Product, and the portion of the Non-Elan Development Product it wishes to manufacture.

10.4	In the event that Elan agrees to and is able to manufacture such Non-Elan Development Product:

10.4.1

Elan and Acorda shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of, and enter into, a supply agreement consistent with this Clause 10 and otherwise with (a) non-financial terms similar to those contained in the Supply Agreement, to the extent feasible, and (b) the financial terms set out in Clause 7.2.2 (“Non-Elan Development Product Supply Agreement”); and
