EXECUTION COPY
This
License and Collaboration Agreement (this “
Agreement”) is made as of November 7, 2007
(the “
Effective Date”), by and between Amicus Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“
Amicus”), and Shire Pharmaceuticals Ireland Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of
Ireland (“
Shire” and each of Amicus and Shire, a “
Party”).
BACKGROUND
A. Amicus has developed a platform for the treatment of human genetic diseases comprising the
use of small molecule drugs, referred to as pharmacological chaperones, which selectively bind to
an active site of a target protein, thereby enhancing the protein’s stability and ability to fold
into the correct three-dimensional shape, to restore proper biological activity of the target
protein. Amicus currently is conducting human clinical trials on three products containing such
pharmacological chaperone compounds, which Amicus refers to as Plicera™, Amigal™ and AT2220.
B. Shire is an established pharmaceutical company which focuses its experience and expertise
in the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products in select areas, including
among them, human genetic disorders.
C. Shire desires to acquire rights to the Licensed Products for commercialization outside the
United States, and to collaborate with Amicus in the further Development of such Licensed Products,
all on the terms and conditions set forth below in this Agreement.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants herein
contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1

directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under
common control with such Party, as the case may be. As used in this Section 1.1, “control” shall
mean: (a) direct or indirect beneficial ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) (or such lesser
percentage which is the maximum allowed to be owned by a foreign corporation in a particular
jurisdiction) of the voting stock or other ownership interest in such person, corporation or other
entity; or (b) to possess, directly or indirectly, the power to affirmatively direct the management

with Section 4.4.
Shire agrees that neither it, nor any of its Affiliates, shall (a) practice the Amicus IP
other than as expressly authorized under this Article 2 if such actions would constitute an
infringement or misappropriation thereof nor (b) Develop or Commercialize in the Amicus Territory a
product containing a Compound, except as a Licensed Product in accordance with this Agreement.
2.2 Sublicenses.
2.2.1 Affiliates. Shire may grant to one or more of its Affiliates a Sublicense in
connection with Shire’s Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization of the Compounds and
Licensed Products under this Agreement; provided that Shire shall remain responsible for the
activities of such Affiliate to the same extent as if such activities were conducted by Shire.
2.2.2 Third Parties.
(a) Shire may also grant to Third Parties a Sublicense under the rights granted to Shire under
Section 2.1 to one or more Licensed Products, to the extent not in conflict with Section 2.1 or
this Section 2.2.2.
(b) Notwithstanding Paragraph (a) above, Shire may grant a Sublicense under this Section 2.2.2
(i) only to a Third Party that is not a “competitor of Amicus” and (ii) in a country where Shire or
an Affiliate of Shire has direct commercial operations in [***], only if Shire remains primarily

thereto upon the written agreement of the Parties.
2.2.3 Conditions of Sublicenses. If Shire grants a Sublicense under its rights in
Section 2.1, such Sublicense shall be at least as protective of the Compounds and Licensed Products
as the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Shire shall remain responsible for the performance
of any of its Sublicensees under such rights, and shall remain responsible for any payments due
hereunder with respect to activities of the Sublicensee. Shire shall use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to ensure that its Sublicensees perform at the same level as Shire is obligated to perform
hereunder and do not engage in activities that would be harmful to the Licensed Products or the
business related to the Licensed Products, and to take appropriate measures to remedy any failure
of a Sublicensee to comply with the foregoing. It is understood and agreed that, except as may be
otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Sublicensees shall have no rights with respect to the
Committees or with respect to the Development Plans, nor to exercise any provision of this
Agreement other than the exercise of their rights pursuant to Section 2.1 above. Upon request,
Shire shall provide to Amicus a copy of the Sublicense, provided that the agreement may be redacted
to the extent not necessary for Amicus to understand the scope and terms of such Sublicense. For
purposes of clarity, Shire shall have the right to redact all financial and other proprietary terms
with

not previously been provided hereunder, promptly upon request by the other Party. The Party
providing such Know-How shall provide the same in electronic form to the extent the same exists in
electronic form, and shall provide copies as reasonably requested or an opportunity for the other
Party to inspect (and copy) all other materials comprising such Know-How (including, for example,
original patient report forms and other original source data, to the extent allowable under Laws).
Except as expressly provided, neither Party shall be obligated under this Section 2.3.2 (or other
provisions requiring disclosure of Know-How hereunder) to provide to the other Party (a) any of the
providing Party’s Confidential Information that does not relate to a Licensed Product within the
Field, including competitive and marketing strategies generally applicable to the providing Party’s
products or (b) any information regarding Commercialization except as necessary to Develop or
Commercialize the Licensed Products.

provide the JDC with summaries in reasonable detail of all Data generated or obtained in the course
of such Party’s performance of activities under the Development Plans.

such Party under this Section 2.3, in connection with the Development and Commercialization of
Compounds and Licensed Products hereunder.

the Parties agree, Japan. In addition, the Parties may, from time to time, agree to include
certain Post-Marketing Studies under a Development Plan and to share the costs thereof in
accordance with Section 7.4 below; provided, however, that unless so included, the conduct of
Post-Marketing Studies shall be as addressed in Section 4.3.
(f) It is understood that, from time to time, it may be necessary for Shire to conduct
additional Development activities beyond that set forth in a Development Plan, in order to obtain
Regulatory Approval for a Licensed Product in a country of the Shire Territory other than the
Primary Markets. Shire may conduct such additional Development activities outside of the
Development Plans at its own cost.
4.3 Post-Marketing Studies; Monitoring of Independent Trials
4.3.1 Post-Marketing Studies. For clarity, if a Party desires to conduct a
Post-Marketing Study that has not been approved by the Parties for inclusion under the applicable
Development Plan under Section 4.2.5(e) above, such Party may perform such Post-Marketing Study, at
its own expense. Further, the Party conducting such Post-Marketing Study outside such Development
Plan shall not be required to share the Data (other than safety Data, in accordance with

or any other clinical trial of a Licensed Product (other than [***] for [***]’s) but outside the
Development Plan (each, an “Independent Trial”) shall notify the other Party at least sixty (60)
days prior to submitting a protocol to the Institutional Review Board or Ethics Committee, as
applicable, for such Independent Trial (which notice shall include a synopsis, in reasonable
detail, of the proposed protocol). The Party proposing to conduct such Independent Trial may
proceed with such trial (as described in its notice to the other Party) after such sixty (60) day
notice period unless such other Party reasonably and in good faith objects to such protocol on the
grounds that it would cause, or would have an unreasonable risk of causing, a material adverse
effect upon the Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Product containing the same
Compound. In the case of such an objection, the objecting Party shall give written notice of its
objection (including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor) to the JSC within
such sixty (60) day period and the Party proposing such protocol shall not commence such trial
pending the resolution of such matter pursuant to this Section 4.3.2. If the JSC is unable to
reach consensus on such matter within thirty (30) days after such matter is referred to the JSC,

Product containing a Compound combined with one or more other active ingredients (e.g., a
co-formulation) or a product in which both a Licensed Product and one or more other products or
components are packaged
together and sold for a combined price. In the event that Shire desires to Develop or
Commercialize a Combination Product:
4.5.1 if such Combination Product, in Shire’s good faith determination, is not intended for
Commercialization outside the Shire Territory and/or Shire does not Control the Patent Rights
necessary to Develop and Commercialize such Combination Product outside the Shire Territory, then
(a) Shire may Develop and Commercialize such Combination Product solely in the Shire Territory and
(b) the [***]; and
4.5.2 if the Parties agree to Commercialize such Combination Product in the Amicus Territory

(a) Inclusion within Development Plan. If the JSC determines to include such Label
Expansion or New Formulation in an applicable Development Plan or where applicable a new
Development Plan, then such Development Plan shall include the work plan, budget and timeline
proposed by the Developing Party, or as the JSC may otherwise determine. For purposes of the JSC
determination of whether or not to include such Label Expansion or New Formulation under the
applicable Development Plan, the Developing Party shall be deemed to have approved the proposal
presented by it to the JSC as part of the JSC Proposal Notice under Section 6.1.1 above.
6.1.2 Independent Projects.
(a) Election. If the JSC does not determine to include such Label Expansion or New
Formulation under the applicable Development Plan, then the Developing Party shall have the right,
subject to the Opt-In Right in Section 6.1.3 below, to Develop and Commercialize such Label
Expansion or New Formulation for such Licensed Product outside the Development Plans solely in the
Developing Party’s respective Territory (subject to the proviso in Section 2.1.3) at its own
expense (it being understood that Development Costs incurred in connection therewith shall not be
shared under Section 7.4.1 below), and such Label Expansion or New Formulation of such Licensed
Product shall be referred to herein as an “Independent Project.” Notwithstanding the above, the
Developing Party shall have the right to conduct non-clinical Development of an Independent Project

Non-Developing Party exercises the Opt-In Right with respect to an Independent Project in
accordance with Section 6.1.3 below, the Developing Party shall promptly provide to the
Non-Developing Party Know-How Controlled by the Developing Party that is necessary, useful or
actually used to Develop such Label Expansion, New Formulation or Independent Project and to
Develop and Commercialize such Licensed Product in accordance with this Agreement. In such
event:
(i) For clarity, it is understood that the licenses granted to Shire under Section 2.1 above
include the Licensed Product comprising such Label Expansion, New Formulation or Independent
Project, as the case may be; and
(ii) Subject to Sections 6.1.2(d)(iii) and 10.6.2, Amicus shall have and is hereby granted a
license, under Shire IP, to use, import, sell and Commercialize such Licensed Product in the Amicus
Territory, and to Develop and Manufacture such Licensed Product, including the right to sublicense;
provided, however, that Amicus shall not conduct any clinical trial of such Licensed Product in the
Shire Territory without Shire’s consent (not to be withheld unreasonably). As used herein, “Shire
IP” shall mean (A) Know-How to be disclosed to Amicus under this Section 6.1, and (b) Patent Rights
Controlled by Shire that are necessary or actually used to Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize
such Licensed Product.
(iii) If a New Formulation is to be licensed under Section 6.1.2(d)(ii) above to Amicus and
includes proprietary formulation technology Controlled by Shire, then Amicus shall pay to Shire a
royalty on net sales of such New Formulation in the Amicus Territory pursuant to such license,
based on commercially reasonable terms; provided that in the case of a New Formulation included in
a Development Plan pursuant to Section 6.1.1(a) above, such formulation technology was generated or
acquired by Shire (A) outside of this Agreement or (B) as
part of a different Independent Project for which Amicus did not exercise its Opt-In Right
under Section 6.1.1(a) and Shire thereafter conducted clinical Development. In addition such
license shall be subject to Section 10.6.2. If the Parties are unable to agree on the rate and
other terms of such royalty, the same shall be determined by the JSC. In such event, if Shire
Manufactures such New Formulation, then Shire will supply such New Formulation to Amicus on
reciprocal terms as provided in Article 8 below; in each case, mutatis mutandis. If the Parties
are unable to agree on the application of any such terms, the matter shall be determined by the
JSC. If Amicus’ proposal for the royalty rate and other terms is not selected pursuant to Section
16.8, Amicus may revoke its exercise of the Opt-In Right for such New Formulation and such Opt-In
Right for such New Formulation shall terminate as if not exercised.

otherwise required by a governmental or a regulatory authority or applicable Laws. The Developing
Party shall similarly provide to the Non-Developing Party promptly a statement of the total
Independent Development Costs incurred by the Developing
Party in performing such Independent Project. If additional Know-How is generated, or
Independent Development Costs incurred, during the Opt-In Period after such request, the Developing
Party shall promptly make such information available to the Non-Developing Party upon request to
the extent necessary to enable the Non-Developing Party to evaluate such Know-How and Independent
Project. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless the Non-Developing Party
exercises its Opt-In Right under Section 6.1.3 below with respect to such Independent Project, the
Non-Developing Party shall not have the right to use, and shall not use, such Know-How or Data
pertaining to such Independent Project provided to it pursuant to this Section 6.1.2(b) other than
as safety data as allowed pursuant to the Pharmacovigilance Agreement or as otherwise required by a
governmental or a regulatory authority or applicable Laws.
(c) Exercise. To exercise the Opt-In Right with respect to an Independent Project,
the Non-Developing Party shall deliver, prior to the expiration of the Opt-In Period for such
Independent Project, written notice to the Developing Party of such exercise and shall promptly
reimburse the Developing Party for the Non-Developing Party’s Reimbursable Share (as defined below)
of the Independent Development Costs incurred by the Developing Party in performing such

Party’s “Reimbursable Share” shall mean [***] of the Independent Development Costs for the
Independent Project. In the event of a dispute as to the calculation of Independent Development
Costs to be reimbursed, the Non-Developing Party shall promptly reimburse the Developing Party the
amount described above with respect to any undisputed Independent Development Costs, and shall
promptly reimburse any remainder (or if applicable the Developing Party shall promptly refund any
amounts that were so paid but subsequently found not to be due) upon resolution of such dispute by
the JSC and in the event that the JSC is unable to resolve such dispute, the matter shall be
resolved by an audit in accordance with provisions of Sections 7.8.2 and 7.8.3. For purposes of
clarity, the Non-Developing Party shall be the Auditing Party in accordance with Section 7.8.2.
6.1.4 Further Development and Commercialization of Independent Projects.
(a) Generally. If the Non-Developing Party does not exercise its Opt-In Right for an
Independent Project during the Opt-In Period, then the Developing Party shall have the right to
continue the Development and Commercialization of such Independent Project solely in its respective
Territory (subject to the proviso in Section 2.1.3), provided the Developing Party shall have the
right to conduct non-clinical Development anywhere, including, but not limited to, outside its
Territory. It is understood that Net Sales of Licensed Products in the Shire Territory resulting
from such Label Expansion or New Formulation shall be included in Net Sales calculations for
purposes of Sections 7.2.2 and 7.3 below.
(b) Clinical Trials. The conduct of clinical trials as part of an Independent Project
shall be subject to Section 4.3.2 above.
(c) Manufacturing. If Shire elects to Develop and Commercialize a New Formulation as
an Independent Project, Amicus will supply to Shire in accordance with Article 8 below additional
quantities of the applicable Compound for use in such New Formulation. Unless
otherwise agreed, however, Amicus will not be required to arrange for supplies of final
formulated Licensed Products incorporating such New Formulation, and Shire shall have the right to
Manufacture and have Manufactured such supplies of final formulated Licensed Products incorporating
such New Formulation.
6.1.5 Activities Outside the Field. The application of Sections 6.1.1–6.1.4 is
limited to activities within the Field with respect to the Licensed Products. In this regard
nothing herein shall be deemed to grant to Shire the right to Develop or Commercialize Licensed
Products (including New Formulations) outside the Field. The Parties may discuss from time to time
expanding the Field to include indications outside the Field for a given Compound or Licensed
Product, and if the Parties so agree, then the Field shall be deemed to include such additional
indication with respect to Licensed Products containing such Compound. Unless so agreed, however,
during the Term (a) Amicus shall not, directly or indirectly, Develop (other than as a Licensed
Product in accordance with this Agreement) or Commercialize in the Shire Territory a product
containing a Compound other than an [***] for [***]’s and (b) Shire shall not outside the Field,
directly or indirectly, Develop or Commercialize in the Shire Territory a product containing a
Compound,. Subject to (a) Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, Amicus may, directly and/or indirectly,

(a) Notice. Upon the scheduling of the first [***] with respect to an [***] for
[***]’s, Amicus shall notify Shire in writing. Promptly following such [***] with respect to an
[***] for [***]’s, Amicus shall provide to Shire written notice of such [***], together with the
data package submitted by Amicus to the FDA for purposes of such [***] (the “[***]’s Option
Notice”). Shire shall have the right to exercise the [***]’s Option within sixty (60) days after
its receipt of the [***]’s Option Notice (the “[***]’s Option Period”) by providing written notice
to Amicus of such intent to exercise the [***]’s Option. Amicus shall promptly provide Shire any
additional Data or information (e.g. minutes of the [***] and response letter from the FDA with
respect to the [***]) that it has after providing the [***]’s Option Notice up to the exercise or
expiration of the [***]’s Option. For purposes of clarity, Amicus shall not grant to a Third
Party any license or other rights to Commercialize an [***] for [***]’s in the Shire Territory
prior to the expiration of the [***]’s Option Period and further subject to Section 6.2.2 below.
(b) Exercise. Upon exercise of the [***]’s Option within the [***]’s Option Period
and payment of the exercise fee (the “[***]’s Option Exercise Fee”) within ten (10) Business Days
[***], the Field with respect to [***] (and any other [***] for [***]’s) shall be
deemed to include the diagnosis, treatment and/or prevention of [***]’s and the JDC shall
promptly propose, for approval by the JSC, modifications to the applicable Development Plan to

[***]’s in accordance with its own Development plans for a period of up to one (1) year after
exercise of the [***]’s Option, or until such earlier time as the JSC approves such a Development
Plan therefor, and thereafter the further Development of such [***] for [***]’s shall be conducted
in accordance with such Development Plan, as modified by the JSC from time to time. All costs
reasonably incurred by Amicus in performing such activities (i.e., those after the exercise of the
[***]’s Option but prior to the JSC’s establishment of a modified Development Plan), and those
conducted pursuant to the modified Development Plan so established, shall be shared in accordance
with Section 7.4.1 below.
(c) [***]’s Option Exercise Fee and Milestone Payments. In the event Shire exercises
the [***]’s Option in accordance with the foregoing, [***] to be made by Shire with respect to the

(d) Cooperation. From the Effective Date until the end of the [***]’s Option Period,
Amicus shall keep Shire informed of Amicus’ progress in Developing [***] for [***]’s and shall
cooperate with Shire to facilitate Shire’s understanding of the [***] for [***]’s, including, but
not limited to, providing access to all Data generated regarding [***] for [***]’s promptly upon
Shire’s written request.
(e) Amicus’ Election Not to Proceed. If, prior to the [***]’s Option Notice, Amicus
notifies Shire in writing that it has made the election not to further Develop for and/or seek
Regulatory Approval for Commercialization in the Shire Territory, or Commercialize, an [***] for
[***]’s in the Shire Territory, the [***]’s Option, and this Section 6.2.1, shall terminate and not
apply; provided, that if Amicus makes such election under this Section 6.2.1(e), Amicus shall not
(directly or indirectly) Commercialize an [***] for [***]’s in the Shire Territory (for so long as
[***] is a Compound hereunder).
6.2.2 Right of First Refusal. Amicus hereby grants to Shire a right of first refusal
to Develop and exclusively Commercialize one or more [***] for [***]’s in the Shire Territory as
set forth below in this Section 6.2.2 (the “Right of First Refusal”).
(a) Procedure. Prior to granting to a Third Party a license or other rights to
Commercialize an [***] for [***]’s in the Shire Territory, Amicus shall so advise Shire in writing
setting forth the terms and conditions under which Amicus would grant such rights (an “Offer”) and
including a copy of the proposed definitive agreement to grant such rights to Shire (a “Right of
First Refusal Notice”). [***] of the date of the Right of First Refusal Notice (the “RFR
Acceptance Period”), Shire shall notify Amicus in writing whether Shire desires to enter into the
transaction in the Right of First Refusal Notice in accordance with the terms set forth therein,
together with a fully executed copy of the definitive agreement included in such Right of First
Refusal Notice (a “RFR Acceptance”). In the event that Shire shall have failed to deliver a RFR
Acceptance [***], then
Shire shall be deemed to have waived its Right of First Refusal under this Section 6.2.2, and
Amicus shall be free to execute and close on the Offer with a Third Party solely on the terms
provided in the Right of First Refusal Notice (which for purposes of clarity shall mean the
execution by a Third Party of the definitive agreement offered to Shire with such non-substantive
changes as are necessary to substitute such Third Party for Shire); provided that if such
definitive agreement is not consummated within [***] after the end of the RFR Acceptance Period, or
if, during such [***] period Amicus proposes to grant to a Third Party rights to Commercialize an
[***] for [***]’s on terms that are different than those set forth in the Offer (any terms
different than those provided in the definitive agreement offered to Shire), Amicus shall be
obligated to follow the procedures set forth in this Section 6.2.2 prior to granting to a Third
Party any right or license to Commercialize an [***] for [***]’s.
(b) No Implied Obligations. The only obligations of Amicus under this Section 6.2.2
and Section 6.2.1 above are as expressly stated therein, and there are no further implied
obligations relating to the matters contemplated therein. Without limiting the foregoing, it is
understood that (i) Amicus is not obligated to identify the Third Party(ies) to whom Amicus would

grant rights to [***] for [***]’s, (ii) modifications or improvements may be made to such [***]
after the date of the Right of First Refusal Notice and (iii) a transfer of rights in connection
with an assignment of this Agreement in accordance with Section 16.1 below shall not be subject to
this Section 6.2.2, provided, that this Section 6.2.2 shall apply to such assignee.
(c) Termination. Section 6.2.2 shall terminate for all purposes upon the first grant
to a Third Party by Amicus of rights to Commercialize an [***] for [***]’s in accordance with this
Section 6.2.2; and in any case this Section 6.2 (including both Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 but not
Section 6.2.1(e)) shall expire [***] after the First Commercial Sale of [***] (or, if earlier,
another Licensed Product containing [***]) within the Field in a Primary Market country in the
Shire Territory, after which time Amicus shall have no further obligation and Shire shall have no
further rights under this Section 6.2.
6.3 Related Products.
6.3.1 Related Product Notice. At least thirty (30) days prior to dosing the first
patient in the first human clinical trial of a Related Product within the Field, Amicus shall
notify Shire in writing, which notice shall include a copy of the IND submitted to the FDA or other
applicable Regulatory Authority for such trial (a “Related Product Notice”), subject to Section
6.3.6. For purposes hereof, “Related Product” is defined as a small molecule that selectively
binds to the active site of (a) a-galactosidase A for the treatment or prevention of Fabry Disease,
(b) b-glucocerebrosidase for the treatment or prevention of Gaucher Disease, (c) a-glucosidase for
the treatment or prevention of Pompe Disease or (d) to the extent the Parties agree pursuant to
Section 6.1.5 to expand the Field for a Compound and agree to add an additional target for such
Compound, such other target for such indication, and in each such case whose primary therapeutic
activity results from such selective binding, provided, that the restrictions of this Section 6.3
shall not apply
to [***] for [***]’s or a Licensed Product being Commercialized pursuant to this Agreement.
Each of the enzymes referenced under clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 6.3.1 is
referred to herein as a “Target.”
6.3.2 Related Product Opt-In Right. Shire shall have the right, exercisable [***]

Development of such Related Product prior to such exercise, determined in accordance with
Section 6.5.4.
6.3.4 Development Plan. Upon such timely exercise of the Related Product Opt-In
Right, the JDC and JSC shall promptly establish a new Development Plan for such Related Product
(i.e., as a Licensed Product).
6.3.5 Milestone Payments and Royalties. Following exercise of the Related Product
Opt-In Right, Shire shall pay to Amicus royalty payments under Section 7.3 with respect to such
Related Product as a Licensed Product. In addition, Shire shall pay to Amicus an additional set of
Milestone payments for such Related Product, in an amount equal to [***] of the amounts for the
achievement of the same events as provided for the first Licensed Product Developed for the same
Field under Section 7.2.1, provided, that such payments shall not be due until the first Regulatory
Approval of the first Licensed Product for the same disease within the Field as that of such
Related Product. For clarity, upon Regulatory Approval of the first Licensed Product in a
particular Field, payments for Milestones (as provided in this Section) for a Related Product
previously achieved shall be due to Amicus.
6.3.6 Related Products to be Commercialized Solely in the Amicus Territory.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Related Product Opt-In Right shall not apply with respect to a
particular Related Product that Amicus elects to Commercialize solely in the Amicus Territory
throughout the Term. Accordingly, if Amicus notifies Shire in writing that it has made the
election not to Commercialize such Related Product in the Shire Territory, the Related Product
Opt-In Right, and this Section 6.3, shall not apply to such Related Product; provided that if
Amicus makes such election under this Section 6.3.6, Amicus shall not Commercialize such Related
Product (for so long as the same remains a Related Product) in the Shire Territory prior to the end
of the [***] period
following Regulatory Approval in the Shire Territory of the first Licensed Product for such
disease within the Field.
6.4 Termination by JSC; Back-Up Compounds. The JSC may, from time to time, terminate the
Development of a Licensed Product for the Shire Territory or the Amicus Territory , in accordance
with Section 6.4.1.
6.4.1 Termination of Development in Shire Territory or Amicus Territory. If, at the
request of a Party (the “Requesting Party”), the JSC determines that it is not commercially
reasonable to continue to Develop and/or to Commercialize a Licensed Product in the Requesting
Party’s Territory (regardless of whether it is commercially reasonable to do so in the other
Party’s Territory), then such Licensed Product shall be terminated in the Requesting Party’s
respective Territory (i.e., the Shire Territory if Shire is the Requesting Party and the Amicus
Territory if Amicus is the Requesting Party). Upon such termination:
(a) If such termination is with respect to the Amicus Territory only, then: (i) the Licensed
Product that was the subject of such termination shall remain a Licensed Product for all purposes
of this Agreement and shall not revert to Amicus by reason of such termination, and the

provisions
of Sections 6.4.2 and 6.4.3 shall not apply with respect to such termination; (ii) Shire shall have
the right to continue Developing and to Commercialize such Licensed Product as an Independent
Project outside the Development Plans in the Shire Territory at its own expense (which costs shall
not be shared under Section 7.4.1); (iii) Amicus’ obligations under Sections 4.1 and 4.2, and under
the Development Plan for such Licensed Product (to the extent such Development Plan applies to such
Licensed Product), shall terminate, subject to Amicus using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
transition any such Development activities that relate to Development and/or Commercialization of
such Licensed Product in the Shire Territory to Shire; and (iv) Amicus’ obligation to supply such
Licensed Product under Article 8 shall terminate on the second anniversary of such termination or
such earlier date as Shire establishes an alternative source of supply for such Licensed Product,
during which period Amicus shall cooperate reasonably to transition to Shire or its designee the
Manufacture of such Licensed Product. In the event of termination for the Amicus Territory only
under this Section 6.4.1(a), Amicus shall not Develop or Commercialize such Licensed Product or the
Compound contained therein anywhere in the Territory during the remaining Term for so long as the
same remains a Licensed Product; or
(b) If such termination is with respect to the Shire Territory, then such Licensed Product
shall cease to be a Licensed Product and the provisions of Sections 6.4.2, 6.4.3 and 6.4.4 shall
apply (in which case such Licensed Product shall be deemed a Terminated Product), and Shire shall
use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to transition any Development activities that relate to
Commercialization of such Licensed Product in the Amicus Territory to Amicus. For clarity, Shire
shall have no further obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Licensed Product under
Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the Development Plan for such Licensed Product, and Article 5.
6.4.2 Intentionally Omitted.
6.4.3 Reversion.

involving such Licensed Product, (iv) Amicus shall have no further obligations under Article 8 with
respect to such Licensed Product, (v) Shire shall have no further prosecution, maintenance and
enforcement rights under Sections 10.2 and 10.3 with respect to Patent Rights specifically directed
to such Licensed Product, (vi) Shire shall have no further rights under Section 14.5 with respect
to such Licensed Product, and (vii) the provisions of Sections 15.5.2(a), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g)
and (h) shall then apply with respect to such Licensed Product as if this Agreement had terminated
under Section 15.3.1. For clarity, Shire shall have no further obligations under this Agreement
with respect to such Licensed Product under Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the Development Plan for such
Licensed Product, and Article 5.

included within the Field pursuant to Section 6.1.5) shall thereafter be excluded from the
definition of Field; and the compounds and products described in Section 6.3.1(c) shall cease to be
Related Products; in each of subsections (i) and (ii) above and this subsection (iii), for all
purposes of this Agreement.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) a salt, enantiomer, metabolite or polymorph of such
Compound is then actively being Developed (including clinical Development) or being Commercialized,
or (y) an additional Compound has been added to this Agreement under Sections 6.3 or 6.4.4 (or
1.5.4) for a disease described in subsection (b)(i), (ii) or (iii) above and such Development is
continuing under a Development Plan or as an Independent Project (or a Licensed Product is being
Commercialized hereunder for such disease), then in either
such case such disease shall not be deemed excluded from the Field under this Section 6.4.3
unless such Compound becomes a Reverted Product; and in the case of subsection (ii) if another
Licensed Product containing [***] is actively being Developed (including clinical Development) or
Commercialized hereunder, then Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 shall not terminate pursuant to subsection
(ii) above.
6.4.4 Back-Up Compounds.
(a) Back-Up Compound Opt-In Right. If a Licensed Product is terminated pursuant to
Section 6.4.1(b) or 6.4.2 (a “Terminated Product”) and at such time there is no other Licensed
Product containing the same Compound as the Terminated Product being Developed hereunder for the
disease within the Field to which such Terminated Product was directed, then upon request by Shire,
the JSC shall take the actions set forth in this Section 6.4.4 to select a Back-Up Compound (as
defined below) to be added as a Compound hereunder (the “Back-Up Compound Opt-In Right”). For
purposes hereof, a “Back-Up Compound” shall mean an active pharmaceutical ingredient Controlled by

(i) that is a Related Product for the same Target and disease within the Field as the
applicable Terminated Product (e.g., a Related Product described in Section 6.3.1(a), if the
Terminated Product was being Developed for Fabry Disease); and
(ii) that is either (x) referenced on Exhibit 6.4.4 hereto, (y) (A) for which Amicus
has performed or is performing human clinical trials for such disease within the Field, or (B) for
which Amicus first initiates such a human clinical trial within three (3) years after the date of
such termination, or (z) a pre-clinical compound for which Amicus has performed at least one (1)
study in an animal model in the Field that Amicus has not designated as a candidate for Development
outside the Field.
(b) Notice. Promptly following termination of a Licensed Product as described in this
Section 6.4.4(a)Amicus shall provide the JSC and Shire with a description of the Back-Up
Compound(s) in existence at the time of such notice. If Shire exercised the Back-Up Compound
Opt-In Right but the JSC does not select any of the Back-Up Compounds in existence at such time,
and Amicus within three (3) years after the date of such termination initiates a human clinical
trial of a Back-Up Compound within the Field, then Amicus shall notify the JSC at least thirty (30)
days before initiating the first such trial or conducting the first such pre-clinical animal study
of the first such Back-Up Compound (each of the notices in (i) and (ii), a “Back-Up Compound
Notice”).
(c) Exercise. To exercise the Back-Up Compound Opt-In Right, Shire shall notify
Amicus and the JSC in writing of such exercise within [***] after its receipt of the Back-Up
Compound Opt-In Notice (the “Back-Up Opt-In Exercise Period”). Upon Shire’s timely exercise of the
Back-Up Compound Opt-In Right, the JSC may select one such Back-Up Compound to be included in the
Development Plan pursuant to such Back-Up Compound Opt-In Right provided, that the JSC may select
multiple Back-Up Compounds from those referenced in Exhibit
6.4.4. It is understood that the JSC (rather than Shire) shall select the Back-Up Compound to
be added as a Compound pursuant to such Back-Up Compound Opt-In Right. Upon the JSC’s selection,
and Shire’s acceptance, of the Back-Up Compound:
(i) such Back-Up Compound shall become a Compound hereunder, and the Field with respect to
Licensed Products containing such Compound shall be the same disease within the Field for the
applicable Terminated Product;

(d) Failure to Exercise. If (i) Shire does not exercise the Back-Up Compound Opt-In
Right with respect to a particular Terminated Product within the applicable Back-Up Opt-In Exercise
Period, (ii) no Back-Up Compound is designated as a Compound under this Section 6.4.4 with respect
to the Terminated Product within three (3) years following the date such Terminated Product is
terminated under Section 6.4.1(b) or 6.4.2, or (iii) Shire does not accept the Back-Up Compound
selected by the JSC within [***] of the selection of the JSC, then in any such case the Back-Up
Compound Opt-In Right, and the provisions of this Section 6.4.4, shall terminate with respect to
that Terminated Product and all Back-Up Compounds directed to the disease within the Field with
respect to which such Terminated Product was directed, provided, Shire shall be deemed to have
accepted the Back-Up Compound selected by the JSC, if Shire had proposed that the JSC select such
Back-Up Compound.
6.5 Additional Terms Regarding Related Product/Back-Up Compound Opt-In Rights.
6.5.1 Confirmation of Termination. In the case of a JSC vote to terminate a Licensed

Plan), and those conducted pursuant to the new Development Plan so established, shall be shared in
accordance with Section 7.4.1. Following exercise of the Related Product Opt-In Right or Back-Up
Compound Opt-In Right, and adoption of the new Development Plan, the Parties shall use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to ensure an orderly transition and uninterrupted Development of the Related
Product or Back-Up Compound that was the subject of such Opt-In Right, respectively.
6.5.4 Regarding Amount of Reimbursement. With respect to the calculation of costs to
be reimbursed under Sections 6.3.3, 6.4.4(c)(ii) or 6.5.3, internal Development costs shall be
determined by applying the FTE Rate used under the Development Plans for the same period. In the
event of a dispute as to the costs to be reimbursed under such Sections, the matter shall be
resolved by the JSC; and in such case, prompt reimbursement shall be made in the amount described
above with respect to any undisputed amounts and any disputed amounts shall be promptly reimbursed
upon resolution of such dispute by the JSC or pursuant to Section 16.8.
6.5.5 Term of Related Product and Back-Up Compound Opt-In Rights. Within thirty (30)
days after the first Regulatory Approval of a Licensed Product in the first Primary Market of the
Shire Territory, Section 6.3 and Section 6.4.4 shall each terminate with respect to all Related
Products, and all Back-Up Compounds, directed to the same disease within the Field as such Licensed
Product. For example, upon the first Regulatory Approval for Amigal, (a) Shire would have no
further Related Product Opt-In Right with respect to any small molecule that selectively binds to
the active site of a-galactosidase A for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of Fabry Disease
and (b) Shire would have no further Back-Up Compound Opt-In Right if Amigal (or any
other Licensed Product being developed for Fabry Disease) thereafter becomes a Terminated
Product.
6.6 Independent Development and Commercialization of Related Products.
6.6.1 Neither Party shall, directly or indirectly, Commercialize a Related Product within the
Field in the Shire Territory until [***] after the First Commercial Sale in the first Primary
Market country in the Shire Territory of the Licensed Product directed toward the same Target as
such Related Product. In addition, unless the Parties agree otherwise, Shire shall not and,
solely with respect to a Related Product for which Amicus has elected solely to Commercialize in
the Amicus Territory under Section 6.3.6, Amicus shall not, directly or indirectly, Develop such a
Related Product prior to such First Commercial Sale; provided that such restriction shall apply
neither to non-clinical Development activities, nor to clinical trials in healthy volunteers, with
respect to a Related Product.
6.6.2 For clarity, it is understood that Section 6.3 through 6.5 above shall not apply with
respect to [***] for [***]’s or other products outside the Field.
6.7 Reservation. For clarity, is understood that, except as expressly provided in Section
4.3.2, this Agreement shall not be deemed to limit Amicus’ right to Manufacture, Develop,

for achievement of a Milestone under this Section 7.2.2 shall only be paid once under this
Agreement.
7.2.3 Reports and Payments. Each Party shall notify the other Party of its
achievement of any of the foregoing milestone events under Sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 (each, a
“Milestone”) and Amicus shall provide Shire an invoice of such Milestone achievement, and payment
of the amount corresponding to such Milestone, except as expressly provided otherwise in
Section 7.2.2, shall be due within fourteen (14) Business Days of receipt by Shire of an invoice of
such achievement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Milestone payments set forth in this Section 7.2
shall not be creditable against any future Milestone payments, royalties or other payments by Shire
to Amicus under this Agreement.

determines to proceed with filing an [***] based upon the use of Data from such [***] as a pivotal
trial.
(g) A Milestone shall be deemed achieved for Fabry Disease, Gaucher Disease or Pompe Disease
if the Milestone is met for an indication involving such disease.
(h) If, upon first achievement of a particular Milestone under Section 7.2.1 above with
respect to a particular Licensed Product, the amounts corresponding to any Milestone with respect
to such Licensed Product that precede such Milestone in the table under Section 7.2.1 above have
not been previously paid, then such previous amounts that have not been paid shall also become due
and payable subject to Section 7.2.2.
7.2.5 Reversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time the first Regulatory
Approval is obtained for a Licensed Product in the first Primary Market country in the Shire
Territory where (a) neither the sale nor use of such Licensed Product is covered by a Valid Claim
and (b) such Licensed Product has no regulatory or orphan drug exclusivity in such Primary Market
country, Shire may within thirty (30) days of such Regulatory Approval elect to (i) terminate this
Agreement in its entirety with respect to such Licensed Product, under Section 15.3.2, in which
case the Milestone payment for Regulatory Approval under Section 7.2.1 shall not be due for such
Licensed Product irrespective of Section 7.2, (ii) terminate this Agreement with respect to such
Licensed Product for the European Union only by providing notice as such and further no Milestone
payment for such Regulatory Approval shall be due at such time for such Licensed Product
irrespective of Section 7.2 or (iii) pay the Milestone payment for Regulatory Approval and
continues as otherwise provided in the Agreement. In the event Shire elects subsection (ii) above,
upon Regulatory Approval in the (x) first Secondary Country, Shire shall pay [***], (y) second
Secondary Country, Shire shall pay [***] and (z) remaining Secondary Country, Shire shall pay
[***], in each case of the Milestone payment that would have been paid upon the Regulatory Approval
of such Licensed Product had Shire not made its election to terminate this Agreement with respect
to such Licensed Product for the European Union. “Secondary Country” shall mean any one of the
following: Japan, Brazil or Israel. In the event Shire elects (ii), then the European Union
shall thereafter be included in the Amicus Territory with respect to such Licensed Product; and
Section 6.4.3 above shall apply to such Licensed Product with respect to the European Union (and in
the event of any dispute as to how Section 6.4.3 would apply in such case, the matter shall be
determined by the JSC).
7.3 Royalties. Subject to this Section 7.3, Shire shall pay to Amicus royalties at
the following rates on the Annual Net Sales (as defined below) by Shire, its Affiliates and its
Sublicensees of each Licensed Product:

7.3.1 Calculation. For such purposes, “Annual Net Sales” means total Net Sales of a
particular Licensed Product in a particular calendar year for which royalties are due pursuant to
this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, units of Licensed Products shall be considered
sold, and the corresponding Net Sales shall be deemed to have accrued, when revenue is recognized
in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
7.3.2 Generic Competition Reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is
Generic Competition in a Calendar Quarter in a country within the Shire Territory with respect to a
Licensed Product, the royalties due on sales of Licensed Product for such Calendar Quarter in such
country shall be reduced as follows:

“Generic Competition,” with respect to a Licensed Product in a country in the Shire Territory,
shall exist after one or more Generic Versions of such Licensed Product are being marketed in such
country. The percentage of Generic Competition in a country shall be calculated by dividing the
aggregate unit volume of Generic Version(s) of such Licensed Product by the total prescription unit
volume of such Licensed Product and such Generic Version(s) combined, in the aggregate, in such
country in a calendar quarter (as measured by a Xxxxx-Xxxxx Associates audit or other mechanism
determined by the JSC); and “Generic Version” shall mean a product that: (x) (1) with respect to
the European Union or Japan [***] and (2) with respect to all other countries in the Shire
Territory has the same active ingredient as the Compound in the Licensed Product and is legally
substituted by pharmacies in such country for the Licensed Product [***].
The adjustment under this Section 7.3.2 shall be reconciled at the end of each calendar year
to take into account the total volume for the year of the particular Generic Version and such
Licensed Product and the royalty rate applicable for such calendar year under this Section 7.3.2 as

determined by the JSC (such that total adjustment for the year shall be calculated on annual basis
for such calendar year).
7.3.3 Gross Margin Adjustment.
(a) In the event that Shire’s average Gross Margin (as defined below) for a particular
Licensed Product during any calendar quarter is less than [***]%, the difference between such
average Gross Margin and [***]% shall be offset against the royalties otherwise payable with
respect to such Licensed Product during such calendar quarter pursuant to Section 7.3 above,
provided, however, that in no event shall: (a) the total royalty rate under Section 7.3 be reduced
by more than [***]%, or (b) the royalty rate under Royalty Tier 1 be reduced to less than [***]%;
and in any event there shall be no such reduction, under this Section 7.3.3, of the royalty rates
under Royalty Tiers 3 and 4.
(b) For purposes hereof:
(i) “Gross Margin” is defined as the Net Sales of such Licensed Product less the Manufacturing
Cost (as defined below) of such Licensed Product for the units of Licensed Product whose sale
generated the Net Sales for the period in question, provided, however, that for purposes of
calculating Shire’s Gross Margin under this Section 7.3.3, Shire’s Manufacturing Cost shall be
deemed not to exceed Amicus’ Manufacturing Cost for the same Licensed Product during the same
period; and
(ii) “Manufacturing Cost” is defined as, with respect to a Licensed Product sold by a Party:
(A)(1) the amount paid by such Party for such Licensed Product manufactured by a Third Party or
(2) the cost of direct materials and direct labor for such Licensed Product manufactured by such
Party or its Affiliate, plus a reasonable allocation of direct manufacturing overhead, not to
exceed [***] of such materials and labor costs; (B) the net cost or credit to such Party of any
value-added taxes or duties actually paid or utilized on account of such materials;
(C) out-of-pocket transportation costs, including clearance and storage of such materials (if
necessary), and transit insurance on account of such materials; (D) the costs of reasonable
quantities of material destroyed in quality control testing on account of such Licensed Product (as
such costs are calculated under clauses (A) through (C) above); and (E) in the case of a Licensed
Product manufactured by a Third Party, the internal costs of such Party pertaining to the
procurement of such materials (e.g., for quality assurance and quality control activities), not to
exceed [***] of the Manufacturing Cost of such Licensed Product.
7.3.4 Third Party Royalties. If Shire is required (a) to enter into an agreement to
license or acquire rights under Third Party Patent Rights that are necessary to use, import,
Manufacture or Commercialize (i) a Compound contained in a Licensed Product or (ii) the Licensed
Products as existing as of the Effective Date and (b) pursuant to such agreement, to pay to a Third
Party royalties or other payments in order to use, import, Manufacture or Commercialize a
Licensed Product within the Field in a country of the Shire Territory, then Shire may deduct up to
[***] of the commercially reasonable royalty or other payments payable to such Third Party from the
royalty

thereafter payable to Amicus under Section 7.3 above with respect to such Licensed Product
in such country, provided that the royalty paid to Amicus shall not be [***] of what Amicus would
have received otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that this
Section 7.3.4 shall not apply to Patent Rights listed on Schedule 7.3.4. In the event of a
dispute between the Parties whether such Third Party license is required, such dispute shall be
resolved by the JSC based upon the well reasoned opinion of qualified independent patent counsel
retained by the JSC.
7.3.5 Reports and Royalty Payment. Within ten (10) Business Days after the end of
each calendar quarter, Shire shall deliver to Amicus a report setting out all details necessary to
calculate the royalty payments due under this Section 7.3 with respect to Net Sales made in that
calendar quarter, including:
(a) units of Licensed Products sold in the Shire Territory during the relevant calendar
quarter [***];
(b) gross sales of Licensed Products in the Shire Territory in the relevant calendar quarter
[***], including the gross sales price of each Licensed Product;
(c) Net Sales of Licensed Products in the relevant calendar quarter on a country-by-country
basis;
(d) all relevant deductions in accordance with Section 1.25 and this Section 7.3;
(e) all relevant exchange rate conversions; and
(f) such other information as requested by Amicus regarding the Commercialization of Licensed
Products in the Shire Territory as necessary to satisfy Amicus’ reporting obligations to its
licensors under the Existing In-Licenses.
Any amounts due under this Section 7.3 for such calendar quarter shall be paid within thirty
(30) days after the end of such calendar quarter.
7.3.6 Royalty Term. The obligation of Shire to pay royalties pursuant to this
Section 7.3 shall continue for each Licensed Product, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and
country-by-country basis, until the latest of:
(a) Expiration of the last to expire Valid Claim covering the use, importation, or sale of
such Licensed Product in the country of sale;
(b) The loss of all regulatory exclusivity (including orphan drug exclusivity) to market such
Licensed Product in such country; or
(c) Fifteen (15) years after the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such
country.

7.4 Development Cost Sharing7.4.1 Development Costs. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all
Development Costs incurred in accordance with the Development Plans.
7.4.2 Cost Overruns. With respect to Development Costs to be shared by the Parties
under Section 7.4.1 above, if the total Development Costs incurred by a Party (such party, the
“Spending Party”) in a calendar year exceed the costs budgeted for such Party in the applicable
then current Development Plan, then the other Party shall continue to bear its share of such costs
under Section 7.4.1 above, notwithstanding such overrun, up to its share of [***] of the budgeted
amounts (the “Permitted Overrun”), but such other Party shall not be responsible for its share of
such aggregate costs in excess of the Permitted Overrun (the “Excess Costs”), without the approval
of the JSC, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7.4.3 Commercialization Costs. For clarity, it is understood that each Party shall be
responsible for all Commercialization costs incurred by such Party.
7.4.4 Procedure for Sharing Development Costs.
(a) Each Party shall calculate and maintain records of all Development Costs incurred by it in
accordance with Section 7.8.
(b) So that the Parties will share equally the Development Costs incurred in accordance with
the Development Plans pursuant to Section 7.4.1 above, balancing payments shall be made as follows:
On or before the fifteenth day of each month, the Party who is budgeted to incur the lesser amount
of Development Costs during such month (as reflected in the then current Development Plans) (the
“Reimbursing Party”) shall pay to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) an amount equal to
(i) fifty percent (50%) of the Development Costs budgeted to be incurred by the Receiving Party
during such month, less (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Development Costs to be incurred by the
Reimbursing Party during such month, all in accordance with the Development Plans then in effect.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Development Plan, amounts budgeted thereunder for a
period exceeding the length of a month will be deemed budgeted in equal amounts for each month
within such period. Within ten (10) days following the last day of each month during any period in
which activities are being performed under a Development Plan hereunder, each Party shall provide
to the other a good faith estimate of the Development Costs actually incurred by such Party during
the month then ended, in a form determined by the JDC.
(c) The Parties shall use good faith efforts to keep each other apprised of variances in
Development budgets and to notify each other with respect thereto.
(d) Within thirty (30) days following the last day of each calendar quarter (March 31,
June 30, September 30, and December 31) during the Term, the Parties shall reconcile the advanced
payments made in accordance with paragraph (b) above with the Development Costs actually incurred
to date by each Party, and within such thirty (30) day period the Parties shall make such balancing
payment(s) as are necessary to achieve the result that each Party has funded fifty

-43-
percent (50%) of
the total Development Costs through such March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 date, as
applicable.
(e) Any dispute regarding Development Costs under this Section 7.4 shall be resolved by the
JDC. The existence of any dispute regarding Development Costs or any other matter under this
Section 7.4 shall not relieve a Party of its obligation to continue to pay prospectively each month
its allocated portion of Development Costs in accordance with this Section 7.4 and the Development
Plans. In the event of any such dispute, any undisputed amount shall be paid within the time
periods specified in this Section 7.4, and the Party disputing any amount shall pay to the other
Party within such time periods [***] of the disputed amount.
7.4.5 Funding Under Initial Development Plans. It is understood that, beginning upon
the Effective Date, the Parties will fund in accordance with this Section 7.4 the Development
Costs incurred by Amicus under the initial Development Plans attached as Appendix 4. The Parties
acknowledge, however, that the number of FTEs reflected in such initial Development Plans has not
been agreed as of the Effective Date. Accordingly, if the final Development Plans established in
accordance with Section 4.2.5(b) provide for fewer FTEs than those reflected in such initial
Development Plans (or if the Parties sooner agree on a lower number of FTEs), then Shire shall
receive a credit for its portion of the costs of such excess FTEs reimbursed by Shire under this
Section 7.4, in the amount of one half of the FTE Rate multiplied by the number of such excess
FTEs, prorated for the period of time from the Effective Date until the date such final Development
Plans are so approved. Such credit shall be applied in equal monthly amounts over the first six
months following the approval of such final Development Plans.
7.5 Payments under Existing In-Licenses.
7.5.1 Generally. Other than as specifically provided in Sections 7.5.2, 7.5.3. 10.2.1
and 10.2.2 below, Shire shall have no responsibility for Third Party payments due with respect to
the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Products under the Existing
In-Licenses, and such payments shall be borne solely by Amicus.
7.5.2 Royalty Reductions. Amicus shall be responsible for paying any royalties owed
to Third Parties under Amicus’ Existing In-Licenses. However, during the royalty term (as
determined under Section 7.3.6) where a reduction of royalties due to Amicus under Section 7.3 with
respect to a Licensed Product in a country of the Shire Territory occurs under Sections 7.3.2,
7.3.3, 7.3.4, 7.3.6 or 15.5.4 of this Agreement [***] with respect to sales of such Licensed
Product in such country, Shire shall promptly reimburse Amicus [***]. If, with respect to a
Licensed Product, upon the [***] Amicus continues to be obligated to make royalty payments to a
Third Party under an Existing In-License with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such
country, then (x) Amicus shall promptly notify Shire of the amount of such royalty rate for sales
of such Licensed Product and the period for which it is obligated to make such payments in such
country and (y) within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice Shire shall notify Amicus of
its election to (1) terminate its sublicense under such Existing In-License in which case such
sublicense will terminate whereby no further royalties shall be due from Shire for sales of such
Licensed Product in such country or (2)

make royalty payments to Amicus for the amounts owed by
Amicus under such Existing In-License for the period so specified in the notice provided under
subsection (y) above and at the lower of the royalty rate so specified in such notice and the
applicable rate specified in subsection (b) above.
7.5.3 Sublicenses. In the event that the granting of a Sublicense under the rights
granted to Shire under Section 2.1 triggers any payment obligation by Amicus under any Existing
In-License (other than the payment of running royalties), Shire shall be responsible for, and shall
promptly pay to Amicus upon request, any such amounts when they become due.
7.6 Other Payment Terms.
7.6.1 Payment Method. All payments between the Parties under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the payments due under this Article 7) shall be made by bank wire transfer in
immediately available funds to an account designated by the Party to which such payments are due.
All payments due under this Agreement which are not timely paid shall bear interest to the extent
permitted by Law at a rate equal to the U.S Prime Lending Rate, as quoted in The Wall Street
Journal (U.S. Eastern Edition), effective for the date on which the payment was due. This
Section 7.6.1 shall in no way limit any other remedies available to the Parties.
7.6.2 Currency. All dollar amounts in this Agreement are stated in, and all payments
under this Agreement shall be made in, United States Dollars. With respect to amounts invoiced or
incurred in a currency other than United States Dollars, (i) for calculation of Net Sales, the
amount in foreign currencies shall be converted into United States Dollars using the average rate
of exchange for such currencies for the relevant month as sourced from xxx.xxxxx.xxx, and (ii) for
calculation of all other sums due under this Agreement, the amount in foreign currencies shall be
converted into United States Dollars using the exchange rate for such currencies for the date of
the respective invoice and where such exchange rate shall be the mid-price exchange rate taken from
Bloomberg as published on the date of the relevant invoice or such other publication as may be
mutually agreed between the Parties.
7.7
Taxes
7.7.1
Notice. Each Party will provide the other Party with
reasonable advance notice of tax withholding obligations to which it reasonably believes that it is
subject. Any withholding or other taxes that either Party is required by law to withhold or pay on
behalf of the other Party, with respect to any payments to such other Party hereunder or any of the
Related Agreements, shall be deducted from such payments and paid to the appropriate tax authority
contemporaneously with the remittance to the other Party, provided, however, that the withholding
Party shall furnish the other Party with proper evidence of the taxes so paid. Each Party shall
cooperate with the other and furnish the other Party with appropriate documents to secure
application of the most favorable rate of withholding tax under Law (or exemption from such
withholding tax payments, as applicable), and, at the request of the payee Party, payment of any
amount subject to withholding shall be deferred until the appropriate documents have been
furnished.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 7.7.1 above, subject to compliance with Section 7.7.2(b) and (c)
below any payments to Amicus hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and Shire shall indemnify
and hold Amicus harmless against, any Irish tax (whether withheld at the source or otherwise)
imposed on or in relation to any payment made under this Agreement that would not have arisen had
the paying entity been a corporation formed under the laws of the United States; provided, however,
that Shire shall not be required to indemnify Amicus for Irish taxes imposed on the net income of
Amicus by reason of Amicus (or its successors under Section 16.1 below) having (or having
attributable to it) a permanent establishment, branch, agency or Irish tax resident corporation in
Ireland, other than a permanent establishment, branch, agency or Irish tax resident corporation
created as a result of Amicus entering into this Agreement or undertaking any action required
under this Agreement.
(b) Amicus agrees to use diligent efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable after the
Effective Date, a completed US tax Form 6166 from the IRS and shall forward it with a completed
Irish tax Form IC3/6166 to Shire requesting that the Irish Revenue Commissioners issue a direction
to Shire to make all payments under this Agreement without withholding or deduction for or on
account of Irish tax. In addition, Amicus agrees to use diligent efforts, upon request and at
the expense of Shire, to recover from the Irish Revenue Commission any refundable tax, and/or to
challenge an assessment of any other Irish tax, indemnified by Shire under Section 7.7.2(a) above.
(c) Amicus warrants that as of the Effective Date it is, and the indemnity and agreement not
to withhold under Section 7.7.1 above is conditioned upon Amicus (and its successors under Section
16.1) being on the date of any payment under this Agreement, a resident in the United States for
the purposes of the Convention between the Government of Ireland and Government of the United
States of America for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion with
respect to taxes on income and capital gains signed 28th day of July, 1997.
7.8 Records Retention; Audits.
7.8.1 Record Retention. Each Party will maintain complete and accurate books, records
and accounts used for the determination of expenses incurred in connection with the performance of
Development of Licensed Products within the Field (and of [***] for [***]’s) or otherwise relevant
for the calculation of Net Sales, in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of any payments
required under this Agreement, which books, records and accounts will be retained by such Party for
five (5) years after the end of the period to which such books, records and accounts pertain, or
longer as is required by Law.
7.8.2 Request. Upon the written request of a Party (the “Auditing Party”) and not
more than once each calendar year, the other Party (the “Responding Party”) shall permit the
Auditing Party, accompanied by an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally

this Article 7 for any quarter ending not more than five (5) years prior to the date of such
request.
7.8.3 Discrepancies. If, as a result of such audit, it is established that additional
amounts were owed by the Responding Party for the audited period, such Party shall pay such
additional amounts within thirty (30) days after the date such discrepancy is established. The
determination by such public accounting firm shall be definitive and final. The fees charged by
such accounting firm shall be paid by the Auditing Party; provided, however, that if the audit
establishes that the aggregate amounts payable by the Responding Party for the period covered by
the audit are more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate amounts actually paid for
such period, then the Responding Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses charged by such
accounting firm. The Auditing Party shall treat all financial information subject to review under
this Section 7.8 as confidential, and shall cause its accounting firm to retain all such financial
information in confidence.
ARTICLE 8
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY
8.1 General. It is understood that Amicus procures supplies of Licensed Products from
Third Party contractors. Accordingly, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Amicus shall cooperate with Shire to obtain from such Third Party contractors quantities of
Licensed Products and Compounds (collectively, the “Materials”) to supply Shire’s reasonable
requirements for Materials for the Shire Territory. In furtherance of the preceding sentence:
8.1.1 Procedures for Clinical Supply. The JDC shall establish as soon as practicable
following the Effective Date procedures for the supply of Licensed Products to Shire for
use in performing Shire’s Development activities under the Development Plan or Independent
Projects.
8.1.2 Interim Procedures. Pursuant to such procedures:
(a) Amicus shall procure Materials on behalf of and as reasonably requested in writing by
Shire, consistent with Amicus’ arrangements with its suppliers; and
(b) Materials ordered by Amicus from such supplier on behalf of Shire shall be charged to the
Development Costs, or Shire (in the case of an Independent Project) in an amount equal to the
amount paid by Amicus for such Materials, plus (i) any other documented out-of-pocket costs
incurred by Amicus directly in connection with procuring such Materials, and (ii) any internal
costs of Amicus pertaining to the procurement of such Materials (e.g., for quality assurance and
quality control activities), provided that such internal costs do not exceed [***] of the overall
cost of such Materials.
8.1.3 Form. The Materials supplied to Shire pursuant to Section 8.1 above shall be
supplied in the same form as like Materials are supplied to Amicus, or as otherwise established by
[***] INDICATES MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN

the JDC or by agreement of the Parties, it being understood that any differences in such form
requested by Shire shall be at Shire’s expense.
8.1.4 Shortage of Supply. The procedures and arrangements to be established by the
JDC under Section 8.1.1 above shall include reasonable mechanisms to avoid shortage of supply,
including procedures for buffer stock inventories to be maintained by the Parties on a
proportionate basis, and/or establishing second source manufacturers or manufacturing sites. If,
prior to the establishment and implementation of such procedures, Shire’s requirements of Materials
cannot be fulfilled in accordance with this Article 8, the total available quantities of Licensed
Products shall be allocated among the Parties on a reasonable worldwide basis (based upon the needs
of the Development Plans and any Independent Projects, and if such Licensed Product is then being
Commercialized, sales history and reasonably forecasted demand for such Licensed Product), as
determined by the JSC.
8.2 Supply Agreement. Upon Shire’s written request, the Parties shall use good faith
efforts to enter into a commercial supply agreement (a “Supply Agreement”) within six (6) months of
such request consistent with this Article 8 on commercially reasonable terms documenting the
arrangement by which Amicus shall supply Shire’s reasonable requirements for Materials at cost for
the Shire Territory, which Supply Agreement shall contain forecasting and ordering procedures
(including lead times), product specifications, delivery terms and other appropriate provisions and
be consistent with Amicus’ contractual arrangements with its Third Party suppliers.
8.3 Limitation; Manufacturing by Shire. Amicus shall (a) cooperate fully with Shire to make available for the benefit of Shire the
benefits of Amicus’ supply agreements and/or arrangements with its Third Party suppliers of
Materials and (b) administer such agreements or arrangements diligently and pursue its rights and
remedies thereunder. It is understood, Amicus shall not be liable for a default or a failure of
supply due to default of the Third Party suppliers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement,
after the first Phase II Clinical Trial for a Licensed Product, Shire shall have the right to
Manufacture, or engage a Third Party to Manufacture, Shire’s requirements of Materials for the
Shire Territory. Promptly following Shire’s request, Amicus shall transfer, or cause to be
transferred, to Shire or such Third Party manufacturer all Amicus Know-How that is necessary,
useful or actually used for such Manufacture of Materials (and the cost of such transfer of Amicus
Know-How shall be shared equally by the Parties), and shall make personnel of Amicus reasonably
available to assist Shire and/or its contractor in implementing the Amicus Know-How necessary to
Manufacture such Materials. In any event the Parties shall cooperate to use the same process in
Manufacturing Materials for use in Development.

Regulatory Approvals for Development and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Amicus
Territory except as otherwise provided in the Development Plan.
9.1.2 Shire Territory Regulatory Responsibility. As between the Parties, Shire shall
be responsible for filing, obtaining and maintaining, in its own name, Regulatory Filings and
Regulatory Approvals for Development and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the
Shire Territory except as otherwise provided in the Development Plan.
9.2 Filings and Meetings with Regulatory Authorities.
9.2.1 Regulatory Filings and Correspondence. The Party with responsibility for
regulatory matters in a Primary Market country shall provide the other Party’s representatives on
the JDC with copies of all Regulatory Filings and all minutes of any meetings, telephone
conferences and/or discussions with the Regulatory Authority of such Primary Market country, and
shall promptly notify the other Party’s representatives on the JDC with respect to any material
changes or material matters that may arise in connection with Regulatory Approvals of Licensed
Products within such Primary Market country, in each case to the extent it has the right to do so.
Each Party will provide the other Party with translations of such documents into English to the
extent prepared or obtained for its own use and requested by the other Party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, during the Term, Amicus shall not have the right to use for purposes of obtaining
Regulatory Approval of
Amigal for Fabry Disease in the Shire Territory any Regulatory Filing generated under the
applicable Development Plan by Shire, for so long as Amigal remains a Licensed Product hereunder.
9.2.2 Meetings. The Party with primary responsibility for regulatory matters in a
Primary Market within the Shire Territory shall, to the extent reasonably practicable: (a) promptly
provide the JDC with reasonable advance written notice of any material Regulatory Filings,
meetings, telephone conferences and/or other discussions with the Regulatory Authority of such
country (including in all cases the EMEA), scheduled or unscheduled, that pertain to Licensed
Products in the Field, (b) afford representatives of such other Party an opportunity to comment on
such Regulatory Filings, and accept such comments or notify such other Party of the reason for not
accepting any such comments, and (c) afford representatives of such other Party an opportunity to
attend all such meetings, telephone conferences and/or discussions with the Regulatory Authority of
such country solely in an observatory capacity. For clarity, Shire shall be the Party with primary
responsibility for regulatory matters in the Shire Territory unless otherwise provided in the
Development Plan.
9.3 Adverse Events and Post-Market Surveillance. With respect to adverse drug
experiences, as defined by 21 C.F.R. Section 314.80 and/or 600.80 (as applicable), and IND safety
reports, as referenced in 21 C.F.R. Section 312.32, and like regulations of other Regulatory
Authorities, the Party with regulatory responsibility for a country shall be responsible for and
shall establish operating procedures to report to the appropriate Regulatory Authority in that
country all adverse drug experiences in accordance with the Laws of the relevant countries and
agencies. The Parties agree to implement, as soon as reasonably practicable, a separate agreement
setting forth the

pharmacovigilance responsibilities and procedures for safety information exchange
(the “Pharmacovigilance Agreement”). The Pharmacovigilance Agreement shall contain such terms as
are reasonable and customary for arrangements of this type, and shall in all events include such
terms as are necessary to ensure that both Parties are able to comply with applicable Laws
pertaining to adverse events and safety reporting and provide that there shall be one global safety
database maintained by Amicus or its designee and accessible to both Parties. The JDC shall
determine standard operating procedures by which the Parties shall have access to such global
safety database.
9.4 Common Registration Dossier. A primary objective of each Development Plan is to
Develop and produce a common registration dossier to serve as a basis for license applications to
be filed in each of the Primary Market countries. Unless otherwise determined by the JDC, Amicus
shall be responsible for preparing such common registration dossier, and the costs incurred in
connection therewith shall be deemed to be Development Costs for purposes of this Agreement.
9.5 Regulatory Inspections. If either Party or its Affiliates or contractors (an “Inspected Party”) are to be inspected
by a Regulatory Authority regarding the Development or Manufacture of a Licensed Product, in each
case within the Field, the Inspected Party shall promptly notify the JDC of the inspection in
advance. The Inspected Party shall, where practicable, permit representatives of each of Shire and
Amicus to participate as observers with respect to such inspection, and shall provide the JDC with
a written report of any such inspection, noting with specificity any records or documents reviewed
by the regulatory inspector, and including copies of any FDA 483s (or their foreign equivalent) or
written communications provided by any Regulatory Authority relating to such inspection. The
Inspected Party shall also provide an opportunity for the JDC to assist in responding to any issues
or concerns relating to such inspections, and shall provide copies of all communications to and
from any Regulatory Authority relating thereto to the JDC. The Parties shall cooperate in good
faith and otherwise mutually support any such inspections by the FDA or other Regulatory Authority
of facilities, clinical investigators or contract manufacturers. In furtherance of the preceding
sentence, if the Inspected Party receives a request by a Regulatory Authority to inspect any
facilities of the other Party, such other Party shall cooperate with and makes its facilities
available for such inspection.
9.6 Audit Rights. Each Party shall have the right, during normal business hours, and
no more than once per year, with more frequent audits upon agreement of the Parties, to inspect and
audit: (a) those portions of the facilities of each Party, Affiliate, Sublicensee, subcontractor
and investigator site used in the performance of the applicable Development Plan or the
Manufacturing of Materials to be supplied hereunder, to ascertain compliance with Laws and
Regulatory Approvals, including cGLP, cGCP and cGMP, and conformance with the applicable
specifications and quality assurance standards, provided that the inspecting Party shall on such
occasions be accompanied by a representative of the other Party; and (b) any of the other Party’s
documentation or its Affiliates’, Sublicensees’, subcontractors’ or investigators’ documentation
relating to such Development Plan or Manufacturing of the Materials to be supplied hereunder,

understood that neither Party shall have an obligation to obtain approval of, nor pay a share of
the proceeds to, the other Party to practice, enforce, license, assign or otherwise exploit Joint
Inventions and Data jointly owned pursuant to Section 10.1 above, and each Party hereby waives any
right it may have under the applicable Laws of any jurisdiction to require such approval or
accounting. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other and take any actions reasonably
necessary to effect the purposes of this Section 10.1.3.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall, without the consent of the other Party
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), grant to a Third Party a
license under Patent Rights in a Joint Invention, other than (i) in connection with a
collaboration with such Third Party, (ii) for use with products developed in whole or in part by
such Party, or (iii) together with other technology or intellectual property Controlled by such
Party.
10.2 Patent Filing, Prosecution, and Maintenance10.2.1 By Shire. Shire shall
have the right to control the filing for, prosecution and maintenance of the Amicus Patent Rights
in the name of Amicus (or Amicus’ Licensor), excluding the Ex-U.S. Platform Patent Rights, solely
with respect to the Licensed Products in the Field in all jurisdictions outside the United States
using counsel of its choice, and Amicus shall reimburse Shire for [***] of the out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably incurred by Shire in performing such activities.
10.2.2 By Amicus. Amicus shall have the right to control the filing for, prosecution
and maintenance of: (a) the Amicus Patent Rights in the United States and (b) the Ex-U.S. Platform
Patent Rights in all jurisdictions outside the United States, using counsel of its choice, and
Shire shall have the option to either reimburse Amicus for fifty percent (50%) of the out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably incurred by Amicus in performing the activities under (b) above or, within
sixty days of a request for such reimbursement, opt to have such Patent Rights excluded from the
licenses granted herein (in which case such Patent Rights shall be excluded from Amicus Patent
Rights hereunder and Section 7.5.2 shall not apply for amounts due by Amicus to a Third Party under
such Existing In-License where all Amicus Patent Rights under such Existing In-License have been
excluded from the licenses granted herein and no such Patent Rights cover Manufacturing of
Materials by Amicus for Shire).
10.2.3 Jointly Owned Patent Rights. The filing for, prosecution and maintenance of
Patent Rights covering Joint Inventions (the “Joint Patent Rights”) shall be as determined by the
Parties, and the out-of-pocket costs thereof shall be shared equally by the Parties.

each patent application, office action, response to office action, declaration,
information disclosure statement, request for terminal disclaimer, request for patent term
extension and request for reexamination. Consistent with the foregoing, such other Party shall
have the right to comment on the prosecution of such Patent Rights, in each case that are directly
related to Licensed Products in the Field or are Joint Patent Rights, by the Prosecuting Party and
provide such comments to the Prosecuting Party’s patent counsel, and the Prosecuting Party shall
consider all such comments in good faith. If such other Party fails to provide its comments with
respect to the prosecution by the Prosecuting Party of such patent application or patent reasonably
in advance of the deadline for filing or otherwise responding to the relevant matter in the
relevant patent office (but not less than
five (5) Business Days), the Prosecuting Party shall be free to act without consideration of
such other Party’s comments, provided that the Prosecuting Party has provided the other Party with
the relevant information not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to such deadline or response.
10.2.5 Abandonment of Prosecution. The Prosecuting Party will notify the other Party
in the event it desires to abandon its efforts with respect to the prosecution and maintenance of
any Patent Rights being prosecuted by the Prosecuting Party under this Section 10.2, to the extent
such Patent Rights pertain to the Licensed Products in the Field in the Shire Territory or the
Joint Patent Rights. Notification will be given within a reasonable period (i.e., with sufficient
time for such other Party to take whatever action may be necessary) prior to the date on which such
Patent Rights will lapse, go abandoned (other than to file continuation application for the same
subject matter) or otherwise diminish (but not less than sixty (60) days). Such other Party (the
“Acting Party”) will then have the right, exercisable upon written notification to the Prosecuting
Party, to assume full responsibility, at its discretion and its sole cost and expense, to file,
prosecute, maintain or conduct any interferences, re-examinations, reissues and oppositions in the
Shire Territory, or in the case of Joint Patent Rights, any country or countries; provided that, in
the case of Shire being the Acting Party with respect to Patent Rights (other than Joint Patent
Rights) Controlled by Amicus, such right shall be limited to the extent such Patent Rights pertain
to a Licensed Product in the Field in the Shire Territory.
10.2.6 Scope of Activities. For the purposes of this Section 10.2, “prosecution and
maintenance” shall mean, with respect to a patent, the preparing, filing, prosecuting and
maintenance of such patent, as well as re-examinations, reissues and requests for patent term
extensions and the like with respect to such patent, together with the conduct of interferences,
the defense of oppositions and other similar proceedings and appeals thereof with respect to a
patent, but shall not include enforcement litigation or the defense of declaratory judgment
actions. Also, as used in this Section 10.2, to “abandon” particular Patent Rights shall include
deciding not to defend against an opposition, not to defend an interference or similar proceeding,
not to pursue an appeal of an adverse decision or not to pursue particular claims, in each case
with respect to such Patent Rights in the United States Patent & Trademark Office or a
corresponding patent examining authority in another country.

10.3.1 Notice. If either Party reasonably believes that a Third Party is conducting
any activities in the Shire Territory that may constitute actual or potential infringement of the
Amicus Patent Rights, in each case with respect to a Generic Version of a Licensed Product or a
Related Product in the Field in the Shire Territory (each, an “Alleged Infringement”), such Party
shall promptly notify the other Party of such activities.
10.3.2 Shire’s First Right to Enforce. Except as otherwise agreed, Shire shall have
the first right to bring and control any action or proceeding under such Patent Rights in respect
to an
Alleged Infringement occurring in the Shire Territory. If Shire fails to bring an action or
proceeding with respect to an Alleged Infringement occurring in the Shire Territory within one
hundred twenty (120) days following a request by Amicus to do so, Amicus shall have the right to
bring and control any such action or proceeding with respect to Amicus Patent Rights.
10.3.3 Cooperation. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in all
actions or proceedings described in this Section 10.3, to the extent pertaining to an Alleged
Infringement. The non-controlling Party agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff if necessary to
prosecute the action or proceeding and shall provide all reasonable cooperation (including any
necessary use of its name) required to prosecute such litigation; provided that the controlling
Party shall reimburse the non-controlling Party for out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in
providing such cooperation at the controlling Party’s request. The non-controlling Party will be
entitled to be represented by counsel of its own choice at its own expense.
10.3.4 Recoveries. Any recovery obtained by any Party as a result of any proceeding
described in this Section 10.3, by settlement or otherwise, shall be applied in the following order
of priority: (a) first, to reimburse each Party for all litigation costs in connection with such
proceeding paid by that Party and not otherwise recovered (on a pro rata basis based on each
Party’s respective litigation costs, to the extent the recovery was less than all such litigation
costs); and (b) second, the remainder shall be shared in the ratio of two-thirds (2/3) to Shire and
one-third (1/3) to Amicus.
10.4 Defense of Infringement Claims. If a Licensed Product becomes the subject of a
Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a patent relating to the making, using, sale,
offer for sale or importation of such Licensed Product within the Field in the Shire Territory, the
Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party, and the
Parties shall promptly confer to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of
action. If the claim or assertion names Shire as Defendant, then Shire shall have the right to
control the defense of any proceeding, and Amicus shall have right to join in such defense at its
own expense. Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, each Party shall have the right to
defend itself against a suit that names such Party as a defendant, and the other Party shall have
the right to join in such defense at its own expense. Neither Party shall enter into any settlement
of any action described in this Section 10.4, or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in any
such action, that imposes a financial obligation on the other Party, or that admits the
infringement or validity of any Third Party Patent without the other Party’s written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any event, each Party shall reasonably assist the
other Party and cooperate in connection with any

litigation in which such Party is not named as a
defendant, at the defending Party’s request and expense.
10.5 Patent Marking. Shire agrees to xxxx, and require their contractors and
permitted Sublicensees to xxxx, all Licensed Products sold or distributed for the Shire Territory
pursuant to this Agreement in
accordance with the applicable patent statutes or regulations in the country or countries of
Manufacture or sale thereof, to the extent required by Law.
10.6 License of Third Party Rights. .
10.6.1 Existing Third Party Technology. It is understood that certain Patents Rights
for the Shire Territory within the Amicus Patent Rights have been in-licensed pursuant to certain
existing in-license agreements listed in Exhibit 10.6.1 hereto (the “Existing
In-Licenses”). As required for the furtherance of the objectives of this Agreement, Amicus shall
maintain the Existing In-Licenses and timely pay all fees due thereunder. In addition, it is
understood by the Parties that their respective rights under Sections 10.2 and 10.3 above with
respect to the Amicus Patent Rights licensed to Amicus under the Existing In-Licenses are subject
to and limited by the applicable terms and conditions of the Existing In-Licenses. Amicus agrees
to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to persuade its licensors pursuant to such licenses
(“Licensors”) to fully cooperate with Shire in the defense or prosecution of any proceedings
hereunder, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Licensors not to enter into any
settlement, agreement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any proceeding or
threatened proceeding which would adversely affect Shire or its rights and licenses hereunder.
10.6.2 Third Party Technology Acquired after Effective Date. In addition, if after
the Effective Date, Amicus or Shire (the “Sublicensing Party”) acquire rights from a Third Party
that are to be licensed to the other Party under this Agreement, including with respect to a
Related Product or Back-Up Compound under Section 6.3 or 6.4.4, respectively (“Third Party
Technology”), but that is subject to royalty or other payment obligations to the Third Party, then
the following shall apply: The licenses granted to the other Party (the “Commercializing Party”)
hereunder with respect to such Third Party Technology shall be subject to the Commercializing
Party’s promptly reimbursing the Sublicensing Party for any milestone payments, royalties or other
amounts that become owing to such Third Party by reason of the Commercializing Party’s exercise of
such license or sublicense to the Third Party Technology. To the extent that any such payments
made by a Party under an agreement to acquire Third Party Technology are not attributable to either
Territory, but are attributable to the acquisition of rights to a Third Party Technology used for a
Licensed Product, a reasonable portion of such amounts as determined by the JSC shall be deemed
Development Costs to be shared under Section 7.4.1 (unless excluded from the licenses hereunder as
provided in this Section 10.6.2). At the inception of the inclusion of any Third Party Technology
in such license under this Agreement and thereafter upon request by the Commercializing Party, the
Sublicensing Party shall disclose to the Commercializing Party a true, complete and correct written
description of such payment obligations, and the Commercializing Party’s obligation to reimburse
such amounts following such request shall be limited to those payment obligations as so disclosed by

the Commercializing Party. In the event that the Commercializing Party does not promptly
reimburse the Sublicensing Party for such amounts upon request (such amounts as determined by the
JSC in accordance with this Agreement, to the extent so provided above), then such Third Party
Technology shall thereafter be deemed excluded from the licenses or other subject matter
licensed hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, this Section 10.6.2 shall not apply to Patent
Rights licensed by Shire from a Third Party and covered by Section 7.3.4 above.

together and seek to agree on the selection of Product Marks for each Licensed Product in the
Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall have final decision on the selection of
Products Marks for each Licensed Product in its Territory. Each Party shall own rights to any
Product Xxxx which is created by it or on its behalf and used in the Commercialization of a
Licensed Product in the Territory, including all goodwill arising out of the use of such Product
Xxxx. Each Party agrees that it will not use marks in the other Party’s Territory for any other
products other than the Licensed Product that are confusingly similar to such Product Xxxx.
11.1.3 Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each
Party (the “Trademark Licensor”) hereby grants to the other Party (the “Trademark Licensee”) an
exclusive license to use the Trademark Licensor’s Product Marks in Trademark Licensee’s Territory
for the packaging, marketing, sale and promotion of the applicable Licensed Product in accordance
with the Trademark Licensor’s reasonable trademark usage guidelines, provided, however, that in the
event a Party, after the Effective Date, generates a new Trademark for Licensed Products, the other
Party shall not have a license to such new Trademark unless it reimburses the other Party for
fifty (50%) of the costs incurred to identify, design and register (including clearance and
registerability searches) such Trademark.
11.1.4 Registration of Trademarks; Recordation. Each Trademark Licensee shall file,
register and maintain for the Term appropriate registrations for the Trademark Licensor’s Product
Marks in the name of the Trademark Licensor, as mutually agreed by the Parties, in each country of
the Territory in which the Licensed Products are or will be sold, at its own expense. In those
countries where a trademark license must be recorded, the Trademark Licensor will provide to the
Trademark Licensee, on the Trademark Licensee’s written request, a separate trademark license for
the Trademark Licensor’s Product Marks and will arrange for the recordation of such trademark

Licensor’s legal rights in its Product Marks, the Trademark Licensee shall submit representative
promotional materials, packaging and samples of a Licensed Product displaying the Product Marks for
the Trademark Licensor’s review and approval prior to the first use of such promotional materials,
packaging or Licensed Product and prior to any subsequent change or addition to such promotional
materials, packaging or Licensed Product; provided that if the Trademark Licensor has not responded
within twenty (20) days after the Trademark Licensee’s receipt of such promotional materials,
packaging or Licensed Product, the Trademark Licensor’s approval will be deemed to have been
received. In any case, neither Party will permit the quality of the Licensed Products with which
the other Party’s Product Marks are used to deteriorate so as to affect adversely the goodwill
associated with such Product Marks.
11.1.6 Enforcement. Amicus and Shire shall reasonably cooperate with each other to
protect each other’s Product Marks. The JSC shall determine whether and to what extent to
institute and prosecute or defend any actions or proceedings involving or affecting the Trademark
Licensor’s Product Marks in the Trademark Licensee’s Territory. The Parties shall reasonably
cooperate in any action taken to enforce or defend the other Party’s Product Marks in the
Territory, including taking appropriate appeals.

ARTICLE 13
INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE
13.1 Indemnification of Shire. Amicus shall indemnify and hold harmless each of
Shire, its Affiliates and the directors, officers and employees of such entities and the successors
and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Shire Indemnitees”) from and against any and all
liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and other expenses of litigation) (collectively, “Liabilities”) resulting from claims, actions,
suits or proceedings brought by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) that are incurred by any
Shire Indemnitee, arising from or occurring as a result of: (a) the Development or
Commercialization of any Licensed Product, or other product containing the Compound, in the Amicus
Territory, in each case by or under authority of Amicus or its Affiliates,
(b) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Amicus, its Affiliates, or their officers,
directors, employees, contractors, consultants, agents, representatives, or licensees in the
exercise of any obligations under this Agreement or (c) any material breach by Amicus of any
representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement, except to the extent such
Third Party Claims fall within the scope of Shire’s indemnification obligations set forth in
Section 13.2.
13.2 Indemnification of Amicus. Shire shall indemnify and hold harmless each of
Amicus, its Affiliates and the directors, officers and employees of such entities and the
successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Amicus Indemnitees”) from and against any and

this Agreement or (c) any material breach by Shire of any
representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement, except to the extent such
Third Party Claims fall within the scope of Amicus’ indemnification obligations set forth in
Section 13.1.
13.3 Procedure. A Party that intends to claim indemnification under this Article 13
(the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Third
Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the
Indemnitor shall have the right to control the defense and/or settlement thereof with counsel of
its choice as long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee
shall have the right to participate in such defense and/or settlement at its own expense with
counsel of its choice. The indemnity arrangement in this Section 13.3 shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the
commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim, shall relieve such Indemnitor of
any Liabilities that result from any delay in providing such notice which materially prejudices the
defense of such Third Party Claim under this Section 13.3, but the omission to so deliver written
notice to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to any
Indemnitee otherwise than under this Section 13.3. The Indemnitee under this Section 13.3 shall
cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any
action with respect to a Third Party Claim covered by this Article 13.
13.4 Insurance. Each Party shall procure and maintain insurance, including product
liability insurance, which is consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies
similarly situated at all
times during which any Licensed Product is being clinically tested in human subjects or
commercially distributed or sold by such Party and the insurance coverage shall in no event be less
than: (a) prior to the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product anywhere in the world, $[***]
per loss occurrence and $[***] in the aggregate, and (b) after such First Commercial Sale, $[***]
per loss occurrence and $[***] in the aggregate. It is understood that such insurance shall not be
construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification
obligations under this Article 13. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence
of such insurance upon request. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written notice at
least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance
or self insurance which materially adversely affects the rights of the other Party hereunder.
ARTICLE 14

confidentiality, by a Third Party who had no obligation to the disclosing Party not to disclose
such information to others.
14.2 Authorized Disclosure. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
each Party may use and disclose Confidential Information of the other Party as follows: (a) under
appropriate confidentiality
provisions substantially equivalent to those in this Agreement, in connection with the

litigation, complying with applicable governmental regulations, obtaining Regulatory Approval,
conducting preclinical or clinical trials, or marketing Licensed Products, or otherwise required by
Law (including securities Laws), provided, however, that if a Party is required by Law to make any

exchanged between the Parties under such agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information and
shall be subject to the terms of this Article 14.

under this Agreement (each, a “Collaboration Results Publication”), without providing the other
Party the opportunity for prior review, it being understood, however, that publication of such
Collaboration Results Publication shall not require approval of the other Party. Each Party shall
provide to the other Party the opportunity to review any of the submitting Party’s proposed

the same information contained in such abstracts, manuscripts or presentations does not have to be
provided again to the other Party for review for a later submission for publication. Each Party
shall also have the right to require that its Confidential Information be removed from any such
approved Collaboration Results Publication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Collaboration
Results Publication shall be delayed upon the request of Party for a period not less than sixty
(60) days, if such Party requests such delay in order to allow for filing a patent application or
taking such measures as such Party deems appropriate to establish and preserve its proprietary

need for further approval by the other.

other’s efforts to publicly disclose results and significant developments regarding Licensed
Products in the Shire Territory and other activities in connection with this Agreement in the Shire

Party. Such disclosures may include, without limitation, achievement of Development milestones,
significant events in the Development and regulatory process with respect to Licensed Products,
Commercialization activities and the like. When a Party (the “Initiating Party”) elects to make
any such public disclosure under this Section 14.6.2, it will give the other Party (the
“Cooperating Party”) at least five (5) Business Days notice to review and comment on such
statement, it being understood that if the Cooperating Party does not notify the Initiating Party
in writing within such five (5) Business Day period of any objections, such disclosure shall be
deemed approved, and in any event the Cooperating Party shall work diligently and reasonably to
agree on the text of any approved disclosure in an expeditious manner. The principles to be
observed in such disclosures shall include accuracy, compliance with applicable Law and regulatory

15.5.2(a)(ii) since the last such report, and the Parties shall [***] in accordance with Section

Amicus not to exceed the lower of [***] from the effective date of termination or upon the

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during the period from and after the notice

shall not sell any quantities of Reverted Products produced or obtained pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Transition Assistance. Shire shall cooperate with reasonable requests by Amicus

transfer, or cause to be assigned and transferred, to Amicus all Regulatory Filings
and Regulatory Approvals solely for the Reverted Products made or owned by Shire and its
Affiliates, and shall take such actions and execute such other instruments, assignments and
documents as may be necessary to effect the transfer of rights under such Regulatory Filings and
Regulatory Approvals to Amicus (or, if not so assignable or not solely related to Related Products,
Shire shall take all reasonable actions to make available to Amicus the benefits of such Regulatory
Filings and Regulatory Approvals). Shire shall require each of its Sublicensees and any other
Third Party that holds Regulatory Filing or Regulatory Approvals under authority from Shire
hereunder solely related to Reverted Products to transfer any such Regulatory Filings and
Regulatory Approvals to Amicus if this Agreement terminates (or, if not so assignable or not solely
related to Related Products, Shire shall take all reasonable actions to make available to Amicus
the benefits of such Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals). In each case, unless otherwise
prohibited by any applicable Laws, the foregoing assignment (or availability) shall be made within

under this Agreement. Such disclosure shall be in electronic form to the extent available and, if
reasonably necessary in connection with Amicus’ further Development, Manufacture or
Commercialization of the Reverted Products, shall include original hardcopies or duplicate copies
thereof to the extent available, as required. Amicus shall be free to use this Know-How in
accordance with the license under Section 15.5.2(f) below.
(f) Licenses. Shire shall grant, and hereby grants, to Amicus, effective upon the
Notice Date, a perpetual, fully paid-up non-exclusive license, with the right to grant and
authorize sublicenses, to use Shire Inventions (including under all Patent Rights inherent
thereto), the Know-How provided or to be provided to Amicus under this Agreement and all
copyrighted materials Controlled by Shire, in each case pertaining to the Reverted Products, to

containing a Compound (other than, in the case of termination under Sections 6.4.3 or 15.3.2,
Compounds included in Licensed Products for which Shire retains its license under Section 2.1).
(g) Trademarks and Copyrights. Upon payment of the costs incurred to identify, design
and register (including clearance and registerability searches) of Product Marks (to the extent not
previously paid by Amicus pursuant to Section 11.1.3), Shire shall promptly assign to Amicus, at
Amicus’ sole reasonable expense (with no royalty obligations) all rights of Shire in and

registrations and associated goodwill.
(h) Sublicenses. Each Sublicense granted by Shire or its Affiliates hereunder shall,
at the request of Amicus and in its discretion, be assigned to Amicus to the furthest extent
possible. In the event that such assignment is not requested by Amicus or is not approved by such
Sublicensee, then the rights of such Sublicensee with respect to Reverted Products in the Shire
Territory shall terminate upon termination of Shire’s license with respect to the Shire
Territory. Shire shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees (if the applicable Sublicense
is not assigned to Amicus pursuant to this Section 15.5.2(h)) transition the Reverted Products back
to Amicus in the manner set forth in this Section 15.5.2 as if such Affiliate or Sublicensee were
named herein.
15.5.3 Partial Termination. If this Agreement is terminated under Section 15.2 or

rights granted to Shire under Article 2 and 11 above, provided that Shire continues to fulfill its
payment obligations under Article 7 above, subject to any right of offset Shire may have under
applicable Law for damages resulting from Amicus’ breach of this Agreement; provided that any
royalties due under Section 7.3 and milestone payments due under Section 7.2.1 that are achieved
after the date of such termination shall be reduced by [***]%, provided, that in the event any
Licensed Product is then being Commercialized, any royalty due under Section 7.3 for such Licensed
Product shall be reduced by [***]%.

effective date of termination, Shire shall be permitted to engage in Development activities outside
of the applicable Development Plan(s) with respect to Licensed Products in the Field in the Shire
Territory, and Shire shall not be required to provide to Amicus under Section 2.3 or Article 9
above the Data and other results of such activities nor permit Amicus to have access to or
participate in regulatory matters in the Shire Territory related to such activities in accordance
with Article 9.

foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each Party, its successors and permitted
assigns. Any assignment of this Agreement in contravention of this Section 16.1 shall be null and

(including any interest for delayed payment) which would otherwise be due and payable under this
Agreement.

unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by Law (a) all other terms

16.8.1 Committee Disputes. The Parties agree that the inability of the JSC, JDC, JCC
or any Special Committee to reach consensus on a decision that is expressly designated in this
Agreement to be made by such Committee (a “Committee Dispute”) shall be resolved through the
procedures set forth in this Section 16.8.
(a) In the event that the JDC, JCC or a Special Committee is unable to reach consensus on a
decision within the authority of such Committee, such Committee Dispute shall be first referred to
the JSC by a Co-Chair of the JDC, JCC or such Special Committee, as applicable, who has concluded
in good faith that there has been sufficient discussion of the matter and that resolution is
unlikely, and the JSC shall consider such matter within fourteen (14) days. If the JSC is unable
to reach a unanimous decision as to such Committee Dispute, or to a Committee Dispute within the
direct authority of the JSC, within such fourteen (14) day period, such Committee Dispute shall
similarly be referred for joint and mutual resolution by the Chief Executive Officer (or his/her
designee) of each Party. If such Committee Dispute is not resolved by the Chief Executive Officers
(or their respective designees) within thirty (30) days after being referred for their joint and
mutual resolution, then such Committee Dispute shall, upon written notice of either Party to the
other Party, be resolved by final, binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 16.8.1(b) through (d).
(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (or
its successor entity) (“JAMS”) under its rules of arbitration then in effect, except as modified in
this Agreement. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, by a single
arbitrator. If the Parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected
in accordance with the JAMS rules, or if the JAMS rules do not provide for such selection, by the
chief executive of JAMS. At his or her election, the arbitrator may engage an independent expert
with experience in the subject matter of the dispute to advise the arbitrator, but final decision
making authority shall remain in the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall determine what discovery
will be permitted, consistent with the goal of reasonably controlling the cost and time that the
Parties must expend for discovery, provided that the arbitrator shall permit such discovery as he
or she deems necessary to permit an equitable resolution of the dispute.
(c) The Parties and the arbitrator shall use all reasonable efforts to complete any such
arbitration within ninety (90) days, and such arbitration shall be a “baseball” type arbitration,
meaning that, following all permitted discovery and in accordance with procedures otherwise
determined by the arbitrator, each Party shall prepare a written report setting forth its final
position with respect to the substance of the dispute and the arbitrator shall then select one
of the Party’s positions as his or her final decision. The arbitrator shall not have authority to
render any substantive decision other than to so select the position of either Amicus or Shire.
Further, to the extent applicable, the arbitrator shall make such decision based on the underlying
agreement of the Parties that the Parties are equally sharing all costs for Development of Licensed
Products (other than under an Independent Project) in order to achieve Regulatory Approval in each
of the Primary Market countries.

(d) The Parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator shall be the binding remedy between
them regarding the dispute presented to the arbitrator, and in the case of a Committee Dispute
shall become the decision of the JSC on the matter. The arbitration proceedings and the decision
of the arbitrator shall be deemed Confidential Information of both Parties under Article 14 above.
Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties, the arbitration proceedings shall be
conducted in

and the cost of the arbitrator and administrative fees of JAMS. Each Party shall bear its own
costs and attorneys’ and witnesses’ fees and associated costs and expenses.

important to be able to resolve any disputes regarding Sections 2.4, 6.1.3, 6.2.1 6.2.2, 6.3.2,

EXHIBIT 16.14
Sections 6, 9 and 10 of the MSSM Agreement
6. Confidential Information.
a. In the course of research to be performed under this Agreement, it will be necessary for
each party to disclose “Confidential Information” to the other. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Confidential Information” is defined as all information, data and know-how disclosed by one party
(the “Disclosing Party”) to the other (the “Receiving Party”), either embodied in tangible
materials (including writings, drawings, graphs, charts, photographs, recordings, structures,
technical and other information) marked “Confidential” or, if initially disclosed orally, which is
reduced to writing marked “Confidential” within 21 days after initial oral disclosure, other than
that information which is:
i) known by the Receiving Party at the time of its receipt, and not through a prior
disclosure by the Disclosing Party, as documented by the Receiving Party’s business records; or
ii) at the time of disclosure, or thereafter becomes, published or otherwise part of the
public domain without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; or
iii) obtained from a third party who has the legal right to make such disclosure and without
any confidentiality obligation to the Disclosing Party; or
iv) independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of Confidential
Information received from the Disclosing Party and such independent development can be documented
by the Receiving Party; or
v) disclosed to governmental or other regulatory agencies in order to obtain patents,
provided that such disclosure may be made only to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain such
patents or authorizations, and further provided that any such patent applications shall be filed in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or
vi) required by law, regulation, rule, act or order of any governmental authority to be
disclosed.
b. The Receiving Party agrees that at all times and notwithstanding any termination,
expiration, or cancellation hereunder, it will hold the Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party in strict confidence, will use all reasonable safeguards to prevent unauthorized disclosure
by its employees and agents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties recognize that
industry standards with respect to the treatment of Confidential Information may not be appropriate
in an academic setting. However, MSSM agrees to retain Confidential Information of AMICUS
in the same manner and with the same level of confidentiality as MSSM retains its own Confidential
information.

REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
c. The Receiving Party will maintain reasonable procedures to prevent accidental or other
loss, including unauthorized publication of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party in the event of any loss or
unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information.
d. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, and upon written request, the Receiving
Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party all documents or other tangible materials
representing Confidential Information and all copies thereof.
e. The Receiving Party will immediately notify the Disclosing Party in writing, if it is
requested by a court order, a governmental agency, or any other entity to disclose Confidential
Information in the Receiving Party’s possession. The Disclosing Party will have an opportunity to
intervene by seeking a protective order or other similar order, in order to limit or prevent
disclosure of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will disclose only the minimum
Confidential Information required to be disclosed in order to comply, whether or not a
protective order or other similar order is obtained by the Disclosing Party.
9. Liability and Indemnification.
a. AMICUS shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless MSSM and its trustees, officers,
directors, medical and professional staff, employees, students and agents and their respective
successors, heirs and assigns (the “Indemnitees”), against any liability, damage, loss or expense
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon the
Indemnitees or any one of them in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments:
(i) arising out of the production, manufacture, sale, use in commerce or in human clinical trials,
lease, or promotion by AMICUS or by a licensee, Affiliate or agent of AMICUS of any Licensed
Product, process or service relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement, or (ii) arising
out of any other activities to be carried out pursuant to this Agreement.
b. AMICUS’s indemnification under subsection a(i), above, shall apply to any liability,
damage, loss or expense whether or not it is attributable to the negligent activities of the
Indemnitees. AMICUS’s indemnification under subsection a (ii), above, shall not apply to any
liability, damage, loss or expense to the extent that it is attributable to the negligence,
gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Indemnitees.
c. AMICUS shall, at its own expense, provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to MSSM to
defend against any actions brought or filed against any party indemnified hereunder with respect to
the subject of indemnity contained herein, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought.
d. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 9, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

10. Security for Indemnification.
a. At such time as any Licensed Product is being commercially distributed or sold (other
than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by AMICUS or by a sub-licensee, Affiliate
or agent of AMICUS and to the extent that it is available on commercially reasonable terms, AMICUS
shall at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain policies of comprehensive general
liability insurance in amounts not less than [***] per incident and [***] annual aggregate and
naming the indemnitees as additional insureds. Such comprehensive general liability insurance
shall provide (i) product liability coverage and (ii) broad form contractual liability coverage for
AMICUS’s indemnification under Section 9 of this Agreement. The minimum amounts of insurance
coverage required under this Section 10 shall not be construed as a limit of AMICUS’s
liability with respect to its indemnification under Section 9 of this Agreement.
b. AMICUS shall provide MSSM with written evidence of such insurance upon request of MSSM.
AMICUS shall provide MSSM with written notice at least 60 days prior to the cancellation,
non-renewal or material change in such insurance; if AMICUS does not obtain replacement insurance
providing comparable coverage within such 60 day period effective immediately upon notice to
AMICUS, MSSM shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective at the end of such 60 day
period without notice or any additional waiting periods.
c. AMICUS shall maintain such comprehensive general liability insurance beyond the
expiration or termination of this Agreement during: (i) the period that any product, process or
service, relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement is being commercially distributed or
sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by AMICUS or by a licensee,
Affiliate or agent of AMICUS and (ii) a reasonable period after the period referred to in (c)(i)
above which in no event shall be less than seven years.
