APPOINTMENT
2.1 Appointment as Distributor. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, Orphan Medical hereby appoints Celltech, and Celltech accepts
such appointment, as Orphan Medical's exclusive distributor of the Product in
the Territory. During the Term of this Agreement, Celltech shall purchase all of
its requirements of the Product from Orphan Medical as the sole supplier except
as follows:
(a) Celltech Manufacturing. Orphan Medical agrees to discuss
with Celltech the feasibility and commercial viability of transferring the
manufacture of the Product to Celltech's FDA approved facilities or qualifying
and registering Celltech as a back-up manufacturer for the Product for the
Territory and/or for the rest of the world.
(b) Third Party Manufacturing. If Orphan Medical is unable to
manufacture or supply the quantity of Product ordered by Celltech in accordance
with this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by
reason of an event described in Section 16.1 (Events of Force Majeure), Celltech
shall have the right at its sole election to (A) take over the manufacture of
the Product or appoint a Third Party manufacturer to fulfill Orphan Medical's
manufacturing and supply obligations under this Agreement thereafter through the
remaining Term of this Agreement and/or (B) purchase the API from Orphan Medical
and itself convert, or appoint a Third Party manufacturer to convert, the API
into Product through the Term of the Agreement; provided, however, such right
shall be exercisable only if (1) Orphan Medical's inability to manufacture or
supply the Product could reasonably be expected to result in a period of time of
at least three (3) months during which less than fifty percent (50%) of Product
ordered pursuant to Celltech's last firm purchase order would be available to
Celltech for commercial sale, (2) Celltech provides reasonable evidence of its
ability to procure a Third Party manufacturer or take over the manufacture of
the Product or the API more rapidly than Orphan Medical could restart production
and supply of Product, and (3) Orphan Medical's inability to manufacture or
supply Product did not result, wholly or in part, from a breach by Celltech of
its obligations hereunder. Orphan Medical shall provide Celltech with all
reasonable assistance in taking over or obtaining and qualifying a Third Party
manufacturer, including without limitation, licensing its Manufacturing Know-How
to Celltech and/or such Third Party manufacturer solely for the purpose of
manufacturing the API and/or the Product pursuant to this Section 2.1(b).
(c) Price for Manufacturing Changes. In the event Celltech
shall manufacture Product or API or cause Product or API to be manufactured
pursuant to this Agreement, a manufacturing royalty, transfer price or price of
manufacturing services to Orphan Medical, and any other related terms therefor,
shall be negotiated in good faith.
(d) Component Sourcing. Celltech shall be permitted at any
time during the Term on sixty (60) days prior written notice to Orphan Medical
to cease purchasing some or all Components from Orphan Medical and purchase some
or all of the Components directly from
6
Orphan Medical's suppliers or qualify another Third Party(ies) to supply
Components; provided that, subject to Sections 7.7 and 7.12, Celltech must
purchase all Components delivered by Orphan Medical pursuant to a firm order
regardless of whether such delivery is made after Celltech delivers notice to
Orphan Medical of its intent to purchase the Components from Orphan Medical's
suppliers or another Third Party(ies). Celltech shall bear any and all costs
associated with qualifying any Third Party(ies) to supply Components pursuant to
this Section 2.1(d); provided that if Orphan Medical desires to purchase the
same Components from such Third Party(ies) as Celltech is purchasing, then
Orphan Medical and Celltech shall each bear fifty percent (50%) of any such
costs.
2.2 License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Orphan Medical hereby grants Celltech an exclusive nontransferable,
royalty-bearing right and license (with the right of sublicense, as specifically
set forth herein), to use the NDA, Know How, Trademark, Patent Rights and all
Improvements and Proprietary Information of Orphan Medical related thereto or to
the Product together with the goodwill associated therewith (the "LICENSED
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY") during the Term, solely in the Territory, and solely for
the purposes of (i) preparing applications for Marketing Authorizations and
obtaining and maintaining Registrations and packaging, labeling, promoting,
marketing, selling and distributing the Product under the Trademark in the
Territory solely for the Licensed Indications and (ii) exercising its other
rights under this Agreement including those provided in Articles X and XI hereof
and making or having made API and/or Product but only as provided in Section
2.1. Except as set forth in Section 6.8, no license is granted to Celltech
hereunder for any rights to market the Product for other Indications. Except as
provided in Section 14.6, the license set forth above shall terminate
automatically upon termination or expiration of this Agreement. Subject only to
the foregoing express license grant and its other rights as herein provided,
Celltech shall not have and shall not assert any claim, right, title or interest
in or to the Licensed Intellectual Property.
2.3 Right of First Negotiation for Other Indications.
(a) Negotiation Notice. If, during the Term of this Agreement,
Orphan Medical desires to pursue further development of the Product in the
Territory for one or more Indications other than the Licensed Indications, or in
the Option Countries or in Australia for the Licensed Indications or one or more
Indications other than the Licensed Indications, Orphan Medical shall provide
written notice to Celltech (the "NEGOTIATION NOTICE") of its intent to negotiate
an agreement therefor. The Negotiation Notice shall identify the relevant
country or countries and Indications. Delivery of a Negotiation Notice shall
create a mutual obligation to negotiate in good faith on an exclusive basis for
the grant to Celltech of exclusive rights to the Product for the specified
countries for such Indication(s). If no response is received within ninety (90)
days after delivery of the Negotiation Notice to Celltech, the offer shall be
deemed declined, and Orphan Medical may then negotiate with any Third Party for
the grant of any license for the Product for such countries for such
Indication(s) subject, however, to the last sentence of Section 2.3(b).
(b) Procedure of Negotiations. The parties shall have ninety
(90) days from the date Orphan Medical receives Celltech's response to the
Negotiation Notice to negotiate in good faith (and on a confidential basis), and
enter into a letter of intent, term sheet or final agreement with regard to, as
applicable, Celltech's distribution of the Product in the Territory for
7
the new Indication(s) or in the Option Countries or Australia for the Licensed
Indications or one or more Indications other than the Licensed Indications. In
the event that (i) Celltech shall have failed to have responded to the
Negotiation Notice within the 90-day period provided in paragraph (a) above or
(ii) within the 90-day period provided in this paragraph (b) Orphan Medical and
Celltech have not entered into such letter of intent, term sheet or final
agreement, Orphan Medical shall have no further obligation to undertake or
continue negotiations with Celltech for such license, and Orphan Medical shall
be free to commence negotiations for a license to the Product for such countries
for such Indication(s) with any Third Party subject to the following: (i) if a
letter of intent, term sheet or final agreement with a Third Party shall not
have been signed by Orphan Medical and such Third Party within two hundred
seventy (270) days of the termination of Celltech's right of first negotiation,
then Celltech's right of first negotiation shall again become effective on the
terms herein provided and (ii) without Celltech's prior written consent, the
terms and conditions agreed by Orphan Medical with such Third Party may not be
in the aggregate materially more favorable to such Third Party than those last
offered to Celltech.
(c) Option Countries. If Orphan Medical shall determine to
enter into a license for the Product with a Third Party in an Option Country
upon expiration of Celltech's right of first negotiation pursuant to Section
2.3(b) above, such license shall contain a provision automatically terminating
such License should such country subsequently join the European Union or
European Free Trade Area during the Term and Celltech shall have exercised its
Option under Section 2.6 as to such country.
(d) No Trademark License. If pursuant to this Section 2.3
Orphan Medical licenses to a Third Party the Product in the Territory for one or
more Indications other than the Licensed Indications or in the Option Countries
or Australia for one or more Indications other than the Licensed Indications,
then such Third Party shall be obligated to market the Product under a trademark
different from the Product Trademark and Orphan Medical shall not grant, license
or otherwise transfer to such Third Party any rights to the Trademark or
otherwise permit any use of the Trademark by such Third Party.
2.4 Subdistributors/Sublicensees. Celltech may appoint Subdistributors
and Sublicensees with the prior written approval of Orphan Medical, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. No such appointment or delegation
shall relieve Celltech from any obligations hereunder, and each agreement with a
Subdistributor or Sublicensee shall include terms ensuring the protection of
Orphan Medical's rights under this Agreement. Celltech shall guarantee and be
responsible for the making of all payments due, and the making of reports
required under this Agreement by its Subdistributors and Sublicensees, and their
compliance with all applicable terms of this Agreement. All agreements between
Celltech and its Subdistributors and Sublicensees shall include a provision
prohibiting the further appointment of Subdistributors or Sublicensees, as the
case may be, and a provision terminating the Subdistributor or Sublicensee
agreement to the extent such agreement relates to the Product in the Territory
upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.
2.5 Sales Outside the Territory. Except as otherwise set forth in this
Agreement, Celltech shall not distribute, sell or otherwise provide the Product
outside of the Territory and shall not solicit customers for the Product outside
the Territory or establish any office through
8
which orders are solicited or any depot at which inventories of the Product are
stored outside the Territory. Celltech shall not sell the Product to customers
outside the Territory, provided that nothing herein shall preclude Celltech from
selling the Product to any customer, wherever located, who purchases Product
with a view to its use within any country of the Territory.
2.6 Option to Expand the Territory. If, after the Effective Date, an
Option Country joins the European Union or European Free Trade Area, Celltech,
in its sole discretion, may add such Option Country to the Territory and may
designate such Option Country as a Major European Country or a Minor European
Country. Celltech shall notify Orphan Medical of its decision within thirty (30)
days after the date Celltech first learns of such country joining the European
Union or European Free Trade Area, and, if Celltech so chooses to add such
Option Country to either the Major European Countries or Minor European
Countries, then Appendix A hereto shall be amended to so reflect such addition.
2.7 Competitive Product. Orphan Medical acknowledges that (i) Celltech
has developed and is marketing methylphenidate in certain countries within the
Territory for Indications other than the Licensed Indications, but that
methylphenidate is occasionally used on an off-label basis to treat the Licensed
Indications; (ii) Celltech is marketing dexedrine in the United Kingdom for the
Licensed Indications; and (iii) Celltech will be marketing Equasym IR in France
for the Licensed Indications. With the exception of the off-label use of
methylphenidate in the Territory, dexedrine in the United Kingdom, and Equasym
IR in France, Celltech shall not, for five (5) years from the Effective Date of
this Agreement, either directly or indirectly through subdistributors,
sublicensees or otherwise, develop, manufacture, promote, market or distribute
products in the Territory that are competitive with the Product; provided,
however, nothing herein shall prohibit Celltech from acquiring, by stock
purchase, asset purchase or merger any company, or division of a company, that
is developing, marketing, manufacturing, promoting or distributing a competitive
product where the annual sales (or in the case of a product in development, the
projected sales) of such competitive product in the Territory are less than
twenty percent (20%) of such company's or division's total annual sales. For
purposes of this Section 2.7, a competitive product shall be one that: (a) is
approved for prescription for a Licensed Indication or (b) is used off-label for
a Licensed Indication and such off-label sales comprise more than twenty percent
(20%) of such product's sales in the Territory or more than twenty percent (20%)

REGULATORY APPROVALS;
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS
3.1 Marketing Authorizations. Celltech shall prepare and submit to
Orphan Medical, (i) within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, a written plan
for obtaining approval from the EMEA to commercially promote and distribute the
Product for the cataplexy Licensed Indication and (ii) within one hundred twenty
(120) days of the Effective Date, a written plan for obtaining approval to
commercially promote and distribute the Product for the cataplexy Licensed
Indication from the Regulatory Authority of each country in the Territory not
covered by an EMEA Registration. On the basis of Orphan Medical's NDA and the
Know How and related Proprietary Information delivered pursuant to Section 3.2,
Celltech shall collect, assemble, organize and format all necessary components
required to apply for such approvals, and shall
9
submit such materials to the appropriate Regulatory Authorities in accordance
with Section 3.2. Celltech shall maintain, at its own expense, the Registrations
and other authorizations necessary to import, label, promote, market, sell and
distribute the Product in the Territory. Orphan Medical shall provide, at its
own cost and expense (but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2),
reasonable assistance to Celltech in the acquisition of such Registrations,
including without limitation, the services set forth on Appendix H hereto. All
applications for Marketing Authorizations for the Product shall be submitted in
the name of Celltech and all Marketing Authorizations for the Product shall be
assigned to Orphan Medical upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.
Celltech shall ensure that all pages of documents submitted to Regulatory
Authorities for the purpose of obtaining Registrations and Marketing
Authorizations shall be coded as confidential.
3.2 Regulatory Timelines. (a) Within thirty (30) days of the Effective
Date, Orphan Medical shall (i) transfer the Orphan Medical Drug Designation in
the Territory from IDIS World Medicines to Celltech, and (ii) provide Celltech
with the NDA and the Know How and the related Proprietary Information to enable
Celltech to prepare and timely file the applications to commercially promote and
distribute the Product for the cataplexy Licensed Indication in the Territory.
Celltech shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause a pre-submission
meeting to be held with the EMEA in respect of the cataplexy Licensed Indication
within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Effective Date. Within thirty (30)
days of such meeting with the EMEA, Celltech shall report to Orphan Medical
about the content of such meeting and advise Orphan Medical as to whether
additional data or documentation or additional action is required or deemed
reasonably necessary by Celltech to obtain approval from the EMEA to
commercially promote and distribute the Product for the cataplexy Licensed
Indication. If additional data or documentation or additional action is required
or deemed reasonably necessary by Celltech to obtain such approval and Orphan
Medical has or could readily produce such data or documentation or take such
additional action, Orphan Medical shall so provide the additional data or
documentation or take the additional action at its sole cost and expense;
provided, however, that in the event the cost of any single study or other
report required by the EMEA or deemed reasonably necessary by Celltech shall
exceed * or the aggregate cost of all studies or other reports required by
the EMEA or deemed reasonably necessary by Celltech shall exceed *, Celltech
and Orphan Medical shall meet and discuss in good faith the apportionment of
such costs between them. Provided that Orphan Medical's NDA and other relevant
Know How and related Proprietary Information are deemed reasonably sufficient by
Celltech, Celltech shall, at its own expense, file the application for approval
of the Product by the EMEA as an orphan drug.
(b) Following approval from the EMEA to commercially promote
and distribute the Product for the cataplexy Licensed Indication, Celltech shall
use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain Registration of the Product for
the cataplexy Licensed Indication (i) in the Major European Countries no later
than December 31, 2005 (the "REGISTRATION DATE") and (ii) in the other countries
in the Territory within such time frames as are consistent with the regulatory
plan submitted by Celltech to Orphan Medical as provided in Section 3.1; unless,
in any such case, additional data or documentation or additional action is
required, in which case, the timeframe shall be extended by the time required to
generate the additional data or documentation or take the additional action.
Where a Regulatory Authority requires additional data or documentation or
additional action that is not within Orphan Medical's sole obligation as
10
delineated in paragraph (a) above and that neither party has or could readily
produce or which cannot readily be taken by either party, the parties shall
negotiate in good faith the terms upon which such data or documentation should
be generated or actions taken by either party, if at all, or failing agreement,
to terminate this Agreement in so far as it relates to a country in the
Territory not a member of the European Union or the European Free Trade Area.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i)
except as provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, in connection with providing
additional data and documentation or taking additional actions pursuant to this
Section 3.2, each party shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of its
respective employees, agents, contractors, sublicensees and subdistributors, and
(ii) no party shall be obligated to conduct any clinical trials after the
Effective Date.
(d) Following the development by Orphan Medical of a
supplemental NDA for the excessive daytime sleepiness Licensed Indication, which
such supplemental NDA shall be developed by Orphan Medical as soon as
practicable after the Effective Date, a copy thereof shall be delivered to
Celltech to enable it to prepare an application to the EMEA for approval to
commercially promote and distribute the Product in the Territory for the
excessive daytime sleepiness Licensed Indication. Such application shall be
filed by Celltech no later than the later of (i) issuance of the license to
Celltech by the EMEA for the cataplexy Licensed Indication or (ii) one hundred
eighty (180) days after Orphan Medical delivers such supplemental NDA to
Celltech, unless additional data or documentation or additional action is
required from Orphan Medical or a Third Party, in which case the one hundred
eighty (180) days shall be extended by the time required to generate the
additional data or documentation or take the additional action.
3.3 Other Approvals. Celltech undertakes and covenants that as soon as
reasonably practicable following the Effective Date it shall take all other
actions to obtain and maintain during the Term all other approvals, licenses and
permits necessary to import, promote, market, sell and distribute the Product in
the Territory.
3.4 Return of Initial Payment. In the event that following and as a
result of the pre-submission meeting with the EMEA, the parties mutually agree
that it is not possible or commercially viable under the prevailing
circumstances to obtain Registration for the Product in the Major European
Countries, the parties may agree to terminate this Agreement, and such
termination shall be subject to the terms of Article 14. * ountries is not
possible or commercially viable under the prevailing circumstances, then they
shall submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of
Section 15.2 of this Agreement.
3.5 Product Changes. Orphan Medical shall give Celltech ninety (90)
days prior written notice of any major formulation or packaging change to the
Product being requested or required by the FDA, or any other U.S. Regulatory
Authority, whenever such change affects a Registration in any country within the
Territory. Orphan Medical may change the Product, or analytical test methods as
it deems appropriate, provided Orphan Medical continues to supply
11
Product conforming to the Product Specifications then in effect until such times
as the Marketing Authorizations are amended to reflect such changes. In the
event of such changes, Celltech shall be solely responsible for additional
submissions and/or regulatory updates which may be required by the Regulatory
Authorities in the Territory, provided that all necessary data and information
shall be furnished by Orphan Medical at Orphan Medical's expense for such
purposes, and provided; further that in no event shall Celltech's failure to
obtain any required amendments to the Marketing Authorizations to reflect such
additional submissions and/or regulatory updates, relieve Orphan Medical of its
obligation to supply Product conforming to the Product Specifications. In the
event a Regulatory Authority in any country in the Territory requires a
formulation or packaging change to the Product, Orphan Medical and Celltech
shall cooperate to develop a mutually agreeable plan to address the regulatory
requirement, and, if necessary, to include the production of separate lots, at
Celltech's expense, for the Territory. In the event Orphan Medical and Celltech
mutually agree it is not commercially reasonable to meet such requirements,
Celltech shall cease promoting, marketing, selling and/or distributing the
Product in that country in the Territory and shall promptly terminate the
Registrations in such country. If the parties are in disagreement as to whether
it is commercially reasonable to meet such requirements, then they shall submit
the matter to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.2 of
this Agreement.
3.6 Clinical Trials. The parties shall keep one another fully and
currently informed as to all tests and trials that they intend to carry out for
purposes of compliance with regulatory requirements in the Territory or that
might affect Marketing Authorization applications or Registrations in the
Territory. The parties shall cooperate in the design of such tests and trials in
order to ensure to the maximum possible extent that duplication of effort shall
be avoided, and that the results shall be suitable for filing with the
Regulatory Authorities in the Territory and shall otherwise be useful for
purposes of meeting all applicable regulatory requirements. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the parties shall use their Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to ensure that all clinical trials undertaken after the Effective Date,
if any, shall be designed and conducted in accordance with good clinical
practices and good laboratory practices as established for both the United
States and the European Union.
3.7 Compliance With Applicable Laws. Celltech shall comply with all
applicable laws and regulations of each country in the Territory (including,
without limitation, any laws or regulations in the Territory governing the
distribution of a scheduled drug, as designated under regulations promulgated by
the DEA). Celltech shall also comply with all U.S. laws applicable to the
Registration, promotion, marketing, sale and distribution of the Product in the
Territory, including but not limited to U.S. Export Administration Regulations,
the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and all regulations promulgated by the DEA.
Celltech shall comply with all Marketing Authorizations issued in the Territory.
3.8 Approved Product Packaging and Labeling; Relevant Testing. After
the Product receives a Marketing Authorization in any country of the Territory,
Celltech shall package and label the Product and shall include all required
labeling for Product sold in such country(ies). For all orders submitted by
Celltech after Registration is received in a particular country, Orphan Medical
shall supply to Celltech unlabeled bottles, and final labeling and packaging of
Product for such country(ies) shall be completed by Celltech. After the Product
receives Marketing Authorization in a country in the Territory, Celltech shall
be solely responsible for all final
12
release testing in such country(ies) and for ensuring in such country(ies) that
the Product labeling and packaging complies with the Marketing Authorizations
and all other applicable laws of each such country in the Territory. Celltech
shall provide Orphan Medical with copies of all foreign language labels. To the
extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations in each country in the
Territory, all labels shall identify Orphan Medical as the manufacturer of the
Product for Celltech.
3.9 Steering Committee. Within a reasonable period of time after the
Effective Date, Orphan Medical and Celltech shall form a Steering Committee made
up of commercial and technical employees from both companies that shall have
certain decision-making authority, and provide oversight for the administration
of this Agreement. Each party shall maintain two (2) members on the Steering
Committee with other members added as needed. The parties shall each select one
of its representatives to serve as a co-chairperson of the Steering Committee.
The Steering Committee shall have the authority to conduct the following
activities and such other activities as may be agreed to in writing by the
parties: (a) review ongoing regulatory issues, (b) review the medical aspects of
standards of care in the Territory, (c) review clinical developments across
territories, (d) review marketing campaigns and new marketing plans, (e) review
sales activities and results, (f) review aspects of Product manufacturing
campaigns and Product forecasts, consignment and non-consignment inventory
stocks and ordering, and (g) review the arrangement for distributing Product on
a Named Patient Basis. In the event and to the extent that the Steering
Committee is unable to come to a consensus on any matter relating to the
development or manufacture of the Product or the Registration, packaging,
labeling, promoting, marketing, sale or distribution of the Product outside the
Territory, the views of the Orphan Medical Steering Committee members shall
prevail. In the event and to the extent that the Steering Committee is unable to
come to a consensus on any matter relating to the Registration, packaging,
labeling, promoting, marketing, sale or distribution of the Product within the
Territory, the views of the Celltech Steering Committee members shall prevail.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a particular matter for which there
is no consensus of the Steering Committee could, in the good faith judgment of
the party who does not have the ultimate decision making authority as to such
matter (as provided in the previous two sentences), materially affect the rights
or obligations under this Agreement of such party, Orphan Medical and Celltech
agree to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resolve the matter in a manner
which will minimize the impact on such rights or obligations of such party.
During each Contract Year, the parties shall hold at least four (4) regular
meetings of the Steering Committee. Members of the Steering Committee may
participate in meetings of the Steering Committee in person or by conference
telephone call. At least one (1) of the four (4) Steering Committee meetings
shall be conducted in-person. Employees of each party who are not members of the
Steering Committee may attend meetings of the Steering Committee as required.
In-person Steering Committee meetings shall alternate between Orphan Medical's
designated facility and a facility designated by Celltech. The co-chairpersons
of the Steering Committee shall alternate responsibility for the preparation of
minutes setting forth discussions made at each committee meeting, with the
Orphan Medical Chairperson preparing minutes for the first Steering Committee
meeting; provided, however, that such minutes shall not become official until
agreed upon by both co-chairpersons.

applicable law that is not the result of any action or omission of Celltech or
its Subdistributors or Sublicensees as described in paragraph (c) below or (ii)
because Product that meets the Product Specifications, by whomsoever

the Product, Orphan Medical shall bear the costs of such recall, market
withdrawal or correction (including without limitation Celltech's reasonable
attorney's fees).

conduct of compliance or other inspections, audits and/or investigations of the
operations and facilities where the Product and the raw materials and components

will jointly, with Celltech engage an independent third party to audit the
supplier on behalf of both parties. Orphan Medical is generally allowed one
audit each year of each vendor. If additional costs are imposed due to
accompaniment of Celltech with Orphan Medical during such audits, Celltech shall
bear the burden of any additional costs.

the development of a consistent message strategy to promote the Product in an
effort to protect and strengthen branding. The global positioning of the Product
for the U.S. and the Territory should be discussed before Celltech launches the

communications relating to the ongoing performance of this Agreement to ensure
joint understanding of current or new issues, data, and information. Orphan
Medical shall answer reasonable technical or marketing questions Celltech may
submit to Orphan Medical. Celltech
20
acknowledges that Orphan Medical does not have international marketing and
regulatory staff for preparation of regulatory submissions and marketing plans.
Orphan Medical and Celltech agree to provide each other copies of market
research study protocols and subsequent results therefrom, which studies are

(a) General. Within a reasonable period in advance of the
anticipated date of the First Commercial Sale, to the extent importation is then
permitted under applicable law, Orphan Medical shall transfer to Celltech's
specified facility in England at least one full lot quantity * of the Product
(such Product, together with subsequent inventory of the Product to be held by
Celltech as baillee pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.3, shall be
"CONSIGNMENT INVENTORY"). Orphan Medical shall thereafter transfer to Celltech
such quantities of the Product as the parties, with input from the Steering
Committee, may subsequently agree in order that the amount of Consignment
Inventory plus the amount of finished goods inventory maintained by Celltech
shall equal approximately the next six (6) months anticipated demand for the
Product in the Territory; provided, that, Orphan Medical shall in no event be
required to transfer, and Celltech shall in no event be required to hold
Consignment Inventory of more than one and one-half full lot quantities *

all times remain under the control of Celltech and be held for and on behalf of
Orphan Medical by Celltech as baillee until such time as the Product is removed
from the Consignment Inventory by Celltech in fulfillment of a purchase order

Orphan Medical or returned by Celltech in accordance with Section 7.3(e)(iii)
hereof.

provide prompt written notice to Celltech in the event of any anticipated delays

shall equitably allocate its available sources and supplies among Celltech,
Orphan Medical and Orphan Medical's other partners (distributors, licensees,
agents, etc.) and internal needs, taking into consideration the respective
requirements of each of the parties during a reasonable time period prior to
allocation and their requirements during the allocation period, provided,
however, the foregoing shall in no way modify or mitigate Orphan Medical's
obligation to supply Product properly ordered in accordance with this Agreement
or Celltech's rights and remedies under this Agreement in respect of any failure
to timely supply, including in respect of a breach hereof and Celltech's rights
to appoint a Third Party manufacturer in accordance with Section 2.1(b) or to

England. Thereafter, all Product delivered by Orphan Medical as Consignment
Inventory pursuant to Section 7.3 shall have minimum expiration dating of
thirty-six (36) months at the time it is delivered to Celltech's facility in
England. Celltech shall not be required to draw out of Consignment Inventory any
Product with expiration dating of less than twenty-four (24) months on the date
that it is drawn out of Consignment Inventory; provided, however, that if the
Consignment Inventory shall at any time contain Product with less than
24-month's expiration dating, Celltech shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts
to sell such Consignment Inventory, and provided, further, however, that if
Celltech shall not be able to sell such short-dated Consignment Inventory,
Celltech shall, at Orphan Medical's direction, either return such Product to
Orphan Medical Ex Work's Celltech's facility in England or destroy the Product
and provide the certification described in Section 7.12, and in either such
event Orphan
27
Medical shall reimburse Celltech for all amounts paid by Celltech pursuant to
Sections 7.3(b)(ii) and (iii).
(c) In the event the applicable Regulatory Authority grants an
expiration date of less than thirty-six (36) months, Orphan Medical and Celltech
shall negotiate in good faith a reasonable minimum expiration, taking into
account the differing expiration dates set forth herein for Product which is and
Product which is not drawn out of Consignment Inventory.
(d) Celltech shall not sell any Product beyond its stated
expiration date.
7.10 Certificate of Analysis. With each delivery of the Product into
Consignment Inventory pursuant to Section 7.3 or to Celltech from other than
Consignment Inventory, Orphan Medical shall provide to Celltech (i) a
Certificate of Analysis and Certificate of Conformity confirming that the
Product has been manufactured in accordance with cGMP and the Product
Specifications, (ii) a copy of all batch documentation from the Product
manufacturer for the first three (3) batches of Product delivered to Celltech
and (iii) a copy of the annual stability test report, provided that the
provision of the certificates and other documents listed in (i) - (iii) above
shall not release Celltech from any of its obligations hereunder, including,
without limitation, its obligation to conduct all necessary release testing to
ensure that the Products distributed in the Territory comply with all applicable
regulatory requirements in the Territory.
7.11 Storage. Celltech shall at its own expense maintain adequate and
suitable storage facilities for the storage of Consignment Inventory and Product
delivered to Celltech from other than Consignment Inventory, in each case in
accordance with cGMP, the Marketing Authorizations, and all applicable laws and
regulations. Orphan Medical or its representative shall have the right no more
than twice per calendar year to inspect, during normal business hours, such
storage facilities upon sixty (60) days prior written notice.
7.12 Rejection of Shipments For Product Non-Conformance. If Celltech
rejects a shipment from other than Consignment Inventory on the determination
that such shipment of Product fails to conform to the purchase order therefor or
a shipment of Consignment Inventory or Product delivered to Celltech from other
than Consignment Inventory or drawn by Celltech out of Consignment Inventory on
the grounds that it fails to conform to the Product Specifications, Celltech
shall give written notice of such rejection to Orphan Medical within fifteen
(15) days after receipt thereof, in the case of apparent non-conformance, and
sixty (60) days of the receipt of definitive test results obtained pursuant to
Section 7.13 in the case of non-conformance established by such tests. Such
notice of rejection shall specify the manner in which the Product fails to
conform to the relevant purchase order, or otherwise fails to conform to the
Product Specifications. If Celltech fails to provide Orphan Medical such notice
in respect of Product delivered to Celltech pursuant to a purchase order,
whether drawn from Consignment Inventory or otherwise, within fifteen (15) or
sixty (60) days, as the case may be, of the date of delivery, the Product shall
be deemed accepted by Celltech; provided, however, that such deemed acceptance
shall not (i) impair Celltech's right to reject shipment or recover damages in
respect of any non-conformance that is not apparent and cannot be determined by
such tests or (ii) reduce, diminish or alter Celltech's rights to
indemnification as specified in Article IX hereof or to terminate this Agreement
in accordance with Section 14.2(b). If Celltech expects to make a claim against
Orphan Medical in accordance with this Section 7.12, Celltech shall not dispose
or
28
allow the disposal of the Product in question without the express written
authorization and instructions of Orphan Medical. Any such instructions from
Orphan Medical, or Celltech's compliance therewith, shall not relieve Celltech
of its obligation to dispose of any Product in accordance with all applicable
laws and regulations in the relevant country in the Territory. Celltech shall
not return any rejected Product to Orphan Medical without a Return Material
Authorization ("RMA") from Orphan Medical. Orphan Medical shall promptly issue a
RMA for any reasonably rejected Product, provided, however, appropriate samples
may be retained by Celltech as evidence of the basis for such rejection by
Celltech. Proof of destruction or disposal shall be certified in writing to
Orphan Medical by an officer of Celltech. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of
a statement detailing and documenting all of Celltech's costs and expenses
associated with Orphan Medical's delivery of non-conforming Products, including
without limitation, any payments made or other Indemnification Amounts arising
out of Claims and the return, destruction or disposal of such Product pursuant
to this Section 7.12, Orphan Medical shall reimburse Celltech for all such
amounts. Any disputes between the parties relating to such reimbursement amounts
shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 15.2
7.13 Testing of Product Upon Receipt. Celltech shall, as soon as
practical after receipt of Product into Consignment Inventory or from other than
Consignment Inventory, examine the Product for any apparent non-conformance and
carry out or have carried out, routine laboratory testing and other chemical
analysis of the Product as required by the relevant Marketing Authorizations
and/or Regulatory Authority(ies). Celltech shall promptly notify Orphan Medical
if such examination or testing establishes the basis to reject the Product for
non-conformance. Any such notice shall identify the specific claims of
non-conformance and include copies of relevant test results or other materials
indicating such non-conformance. Upon receipt of a notification of
non-conformance, Orphan Medical and Celltech shall compare test results obtained
during release testing of the Product by Orphan Medical to the results Celltech
obtained during acceptance testing to evaluate the potential cause of
discrepancy. If Orphan Medical confirms such non-conformity, it shall promptly
so notify Celltech. If Orphan Medical does not confirm such non-conformity, it
shall promptly so notify Celltech, and the parties shall submit the disputed
Product shipment for testing to an independent testing laboratory or other
independent Third Party expert mutually acceptable to the parties.
Notwithstanding Section 15.2, the findings of the testing laboratory or Third
Party expert shall be binding on the parties. The expenses of such testing shall
be borne by Orphan Medical if the non-conformity is confirmed, and otherwise by
Celltech. Without limiting Celltech's other remedies as herein provided, Orphan
Medical shall promptly replace properly rejected Product. Celltech shall return
such Product or, if requested by Orphan Medical, destroy the Product and provide
the certification described in Section 7.12.

whomsoever such Product was sold (including Celltech, its Subdistributors and
Sublicensees) and regardless of the legal theory on which such Claim is based,
except, however, where such bodily injury and/or property damage is due to (a) a

Third Party manufacturer appointed by Celltech pursuant to Section 2.1 to
manufacture, store or ship the Product in accordance with cGMP, the Marketing

negligence or willful misconduct of or attributable to Orphan Medical, its
sublicensees (other than Celltech, its Subdistributors, Sublicensees or Third

Subdistributors and Sublicensees to market the Product under the Trademark;
provided, however that if the Trademark is unavailable or unusable in a
particular country in the Territory, the parties shall mutually agree on a
suitable alternative. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law in
each country in the Territory, all labeling for the Product shall bear a legend,
identifying Orphan Medical as the manufacturer of the Product for Celltech.
10.4 Registration and Approvals. Attached hereto as Appendix B is a
list of the registrations and pending applications for registration for the
Trademark and Patent Rights in the Territory. Orphan Medical shall file
applications and maintain trademark registrations (including for the Trademark
and any alternative trademarks pursuant to Section 10.3) and patent
35
registrations (including for the Patent Rights) in each country in the Territory
including without limitation the registrations and pending applications for the
Trademark and Patent Rights in each country listed in Appendix B as shall be
reasonably useful or necessary to protect Celltech's rights under this
Agreement; provided, however, that if Orphan Medical shall fail to file a useful
or necessary application or maintain a useful or necessary registration for any
trademarks, alternative trademarks or patents in a country in the Territory, or
to maintain the Trademark and Patent Rights registrations in each country listed
in Appendix B, Celltech shall have the right to file such applications and
maintain such registrations in each such country in the Territory for such
trademarks, alternative trademarks or patents at the expense and in the name and
on behalf of Orphan Medical (or in Celltech's own name if that is not permitted
in the applicable country). Such registration and use of the Trademark and
Patent Rights shall inure to the benefit of and be on behalf of Orphan Medical.
On any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article XIV hereof, Celltech
shall promptly assign to Orphan Medical registrations and any applications for
registration of trademarks, alternative trademarks or patents for the Product in
the Territory filed in its name pursuant to this Section 10.4.
10.5 Reservation of Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, (i)
nothing in this Agreement shall entitle Celltech to any right, title or interest
in or to any of the Patent Rights, Know How, Manufacturing Know How, Trademark,
Improvements, and Proprietary Information of Orphan Medical or any associated
goodwill, which is and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Orphan
Medical and (ii) Celltech shall not take and shall cause its Subdistributors,
Sublicensees and Third Party manufacturers to not take any action that might (a)
impair any right, title or interest of Orphan Medical in and to the Patent
Rights, Know How, Manufacturing Know How, Trademark, Improvements and
Proprietary Information; or (b) create any right, title or interest in or to
such Patent Rights, Know How, Trademark, Improvements and Proprietary
Information in Celltech or any other Person. Celltech acknowledges Orphan
Medical's proprietary rights as provided in the preceding sentence, and hereby
waives in favor of Orphan Medical any right Celltech may have in and to the
Patent Rights, Know How, Manufacturing Know How, Trademark, Improvements and
Proprietary Information except as herein provided.
ARTICLE XI
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENTS
11.1 Protection of Intellectual Property. Celltech shall cooperate with
Orphan Medical and take all reasonable actions which Orphan Medical may
reasonably request, at Orphan Medical's sole cost and expense, in order to
protect and enforce Orphan Medical's intellectual property rights, including,
but not limited to, carrying out any act Orphan Medical may reasonably require
in connection with any registration, enforcement or protection thereof. Celltech
shall promptly notify Orphan Medical upon becoming aware of any use in the
Territory by a Third Party of the Patent Rights, Know How, Manufacturing Know
How, Trademark, Improvements or Proprietary Information of Orphan Medical
related thereto, or any other Orphan Medical intellectual property relating to
the Product which may constitute an infringement thereof. Orphan Medical shall
have the first right, at its option, to institute proceedings against Third
Party infringers in respect of infringements occurring in the Territory. If
Orphan Medical elects not to institute such proceedings within a period of
thirty (30) days after its discovery of the infringement, Celltech shall have
the right at its option to do so. The party instituting proceedings in the
Territory pursuant to this Article XI shall bring all such
36
proceedings in the name of both parties. Orphan Medical shall have the exclusive
right in its sole discretion to institute proceedings solely in its name against
Third Party infringers in respect of infringements occurring outside the
Territory. Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party in connection
with any such proceedings against third-party infringers. All expenses of any
such proceedings shall be borne by the party instituting the proceedings and
damages which may be awarded or agreed upon in settlement of such action shall
be allocated first to reimburse the documented costs of the proceedings incurred
by the party bringing suit, with the balance of such amounts, if any, to be
allocated between the parties in accordance with their relative economic loss
from such infringement.
ARTICLE XII
IMPROVEMENTS
12.1 Improvements by Celltech. Subject to Celltech's rights therein as
provided elsewhere in this Agreement, including without limitation Section 2.2,
Celltech hereby irrevocably assigns, releases, and transfers to Orphan Medical
its entire right, title and interest in and to any Improvement solely relating
to the API and/or Product (whether patentable or not) made or conceived solely
by Celltech employees or contractors.
12.2 Improvements by Orphan Medical. Subject to Celltech's rights
therein as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, including without limitation
Section 2.2, Orphan Medical shall own all right, title and interest in and to
any Improvement relating to the API and/or Product (whether patentable or not)
made or conceived solely by Orphan Medical employees or by any Orphan Medical
contractor, other than Celltech, including, without limitation, any
manufacturing or analytical process, procedure or method or any source of
synthesis given to Celltech.
12.3 Disclosure. Celltech shall promptly disclose to Orphan Medical any
and all Improvements relating to the API and/or Product by Celltech's employees
or contractors, either alone or together with Orphan Medical's employees or
contractors. Celltech shall execute at Orphan Medical's expense any assignments,
applications or other instruments or documents reasonably requested by Orphan
Medical to obtain, maintain, and otherwise to perfect Orphan Medical's interest
therein as provided by this Agreement. Celltech's and Orphan Medical's
obligations hereunder shall survive termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII

13.1 Proprietary Information. During the Term hereof and for a period
of five (5) years thereafter, any Proprietary Information disclosed by one party
(the "DISCLOSING PARTY"), directly or indirectly, to the other party (the
"RECEIVING PARTY") under this Agreement shall be deemed confidential, and trade
secret information, whether so designated or not, and shall not be disclosed by
the Receiving Party to any Third Party, except as set forth below. Access to
such Proprietary Information shall be limited to employees, agents, consultants
or contractors of the Receiving Party who reasonably require such Proprietary
Information for purposes of performing the Receiving Party's obligations
hereunder and who are bound to the Receiving Party by similar obligations in
respect of confidentiality and use. Such employees, agents, consultants or
37
contractors shall be advised of the nature and existence of the undertakings in
respect of such Proprietary Information pursuant to this Agreement and of the
applicability of such undertakings to them. The Receiving Party shall use such
Proprietary Information only to carry out its obligations or to exercise its
rights hereunder and shall not use such Proprietary Information for its own
benefit or for the benefit of others or in any way inconsistent with this
Agreement.
13.2 Exclusions. Information shall not be deemed Proprietary
Information which:
(a) at the time of disclosure, is already in the public domain
or thereafter becomes part of the public domain through no act or omission of
the Receiving Party;
(b) was rightfully in the possession of the Receiving Party
prior to the time of the disclosure;
(c) is independently disclosed to the Receiving Party by a
Third Party who has not violated any confidential obligation owed to the
Disclosing Party;
(d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without
any use of or reliance on any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party;
(e) is required to be disclosed by legal process, provided
that, in each case the party so disclosing information timely informs the other
and uses its best efforts to limit the disclosure and maintain confidentiality
to the extent possible and permits the other party to attempt by appropriate
legal means to limit such disclosure;
(f) is information which is required to be included in patent
applications or required to be provided to the FDA or any other Regulatory
Authority in the Territory in order that Registrations for the Product can be
obtained or otherwise to comply with applicable regulatory requirements;
provided, however, that no Proprietary Information of Celltech or Orphan Medical
shall be disclosed in any such patent application or Registration without the
prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; or
(g) is information which is required to be disclosed to
customers, users, and prescribers of the Product or which is reasonably
necessary to disclose in connection with the ethical marketing of the Product,
if applicable.
13.3 Third Party Disclosure. Disclosure by the Receiving Party to a
Third Party shall be made only to the extent necessary to enable the Receiving
Party to comply with its contractual obligations to the Disclosing Party, and
only if such Third Party has executed a confidentiality agreement containing
terms that are at least as protective as the terms of this Agreement.
13.4 Third Party Confidentiality Agreement. Each Third Party to which
Proprietary Information is disclosed other than a Regulatory Authority shall
agree in writing prior to such disclosure to keep the Proprietary Information in
strict confidence.
38
13.5 Confidentiality of Agreement. Except as otherwise required by law,
applicable regulations or the terms of this Agreement or as mutually agreed upon
by the parties hereto, each party shall treat as confidential the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
13.6 Prior Confidentiality Agreement. The Confidentiality Disclosure
Agreement between the parties hereto dated 20 November 2002 is hereby superseded
and terminated. Any disclosure of Proprietary Information by either party
pursuant to such Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to have been made
hereunder and shall be subject to this Article 13.
ARTICLE XIV

(c) Celltech alters any Product except as permitted hereunder

in which EMEA approval is required for a Registration, if Celltech shall have
failed to obtain a Registration in at least one Major European Country by
December 31, 2006, and as to each other country in the Territory, if Celltech
shall have failed to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain a
Registration in such country, if, in each case, such failure shall not be due to
a breach by Orphan Medical of its obligations under this Agreement.
14.4 Rights and Obligations on Termination. In the event of termination
of this Agreement for any reason, the parties shall have the following rights
and obligations:
(i) Neither party shall be released from the
obligation to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter
due and payable in respect of the Term prior to such
termination as otherwise herein provided.
(ii) Except as provided in Section 14.6, Celltech
shall cease to market, promote, sell and distribute the

14.2(b), Orphan Medical shall pay all expenses related to such
return of materials and artwork;
(iii) Orphan Medical may, if Celltech elects not to
pursue its sell-off rights under Section 14.6, repurchase
Celltech's inventory of non-obsolete and non-expired Product
at the price paid by Celltech for such Product or direct
Celltech to sell them to the Third Party or parties selected
by Orphan Medical at the price paid by Celltech; provided,

such inventory at the price paid by Celltech if Celltech
elects not to pursue its sell-off rights under Section 14.6;
(iv) Celltech shall return or, if requested by Orphan
Medical, destroy all of Orphan Medical's Proprietary
Information, including, if applicable, all electronic copies
thereof and shall certify in writing that it has done so; and

Section 10.4 regarding the assignment to Orphan Medical of
trademark and/or patent rights registrations filed in
Celltech's name.

shall relate solely to any country not subject to regulation by the EMEA, then
termination of this Agreement shall be limited and applied only to such country
or portion of the Territory.
14.6 Sell-Off Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 14.4 hereto, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Celltech
shall have the right to continue to distribute its existing inventory of
non-expired Product for a period of six (6) months after the effective date of
expiration or the effective date of termination of this Agreement as the case

necessary steps to ensure expeditious assignment of all Marketing Authorizations
and Orphan Drug Designations which are in Celltech's name to Orphan Medical. If

Designations in its own name for the Product in that country; provided that
Orphan Medical shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Celltech from and

the unauthorized use of Proprietary Information by either Party or, Orphan
Medical's Trademark, Patent Rights, Know How, Manufacturing Know How, and
Improvements by Celltech, or with respect to acts or omissions of Celltech or
Orphan Medical relating to the Product which in the good faith discretion of
Orphan Medical or Celltech, as the case may be, negatively impact the safety of
the public, Orphan Medical or Celltech, as the case may be, may seek any
available equitable remedy from a court of competent jurisdiction.
15.2 Arbitration. Except as provided in Sections 7.13 and 15.1, all
disputes arising between the parties in connection with this Agreement shall be
settled through friendly
41
consultations between the parties and if no agreement can be reached through

arbitration shall take place in New York, New York, and be conducted by the
American Arbitration Association in accordance with the commercial arbitration
rules thereof (the "RULES") except as modified hereby. All necessary
determinations, including the arbitration decision, shall be made by a panel of
three arbitrators (the "PANEL"). Within ten (10) days after delivery of a notice
of arbitration, each of the two parties shall select one arbitrator as a member
of the Panel. The two parties shall select as the third member of the Panel an
independent arbitrator with no past or current business affiliations with either
party, and if the parties cannot agree on such independent arbitrator within ten
(10) days after delivery of a notice of arbitration, such independent arbitrator
shall be selected in accordance with the Rules. The Panel shall establish a
schedule of discovery and hearing such that the Panel's final written decision
shall be issued within one hundred and twenty (120) days after selection of the
independent arbitrator serving on the Panel. Each party must produce all
relevant non-privileged documents requested by the other party within thirty
(30) days after the request therefor. The Panel's decision must be in writing
and shall set forth the reasons therefor. Such decision shall be conclusive
determination of the matter and binding on the parties, shall have the effect of
an arbitration award, and shall not (to the extent permitted by applicable law)
be contested by any of them. The fees and expenses of an arbitrator selected by
a party shall be borne by such party. The fees and expenses of the third
independent arbitrator shall initially be borne equally by the parties, and
shall be allocated between the parties in accordance with the final decision of
the Panel, which decision shall allocate such fees between the parties as
determined by the Panel.
15.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
interpreted and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York,
U.S.A., excluding (i) its choice of law rules and (ii) the United Nations
Convention on the International Sale of Goods, provided that (x) enforcement and
operation of the Consignment Inventory arrangements in Section 7.3 shall be
governed by the laws of England, and (y) enforcement and operation of the
arbitration agreement contained in Section 15.2 hereof, and the enforcement of
any award rendered pursuant thereto, shall be governed by United States federal
law to the exclusion of State law.
ARTICLE XVI
FORCE MAJEURE
16.1 Events of Force Majeure. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, neither party shall be liable or responsible for any
failure or delay in performance (excluding payment of sums owed hereunder) due
to causes affecting such party and, in the case of Orphan Medical, its
designated suppliers, and, in the case of Celltech, its Subdistributors,
Sublicensees and Third Party manufacturers, beyond the reasonable control of
such party, including, without limitation, any act of God; regulation or law of
any government or an agency thereof, excluding, however, if a Regulatory
Authority enjoins manufacture of the Product or otherwise closes the Product
manufacturing facilities due to Orphan Medical's failure to comply with cGMP or
any other breach by Orphan Medical of its obligations under this Agreement; war;
terrorism; insurrection or civil commotion; earthquake, tornado, fire, flood or
storm; epidemic; or failure of public utilities or common carriers. Such excuse
shall continue as long as the condition preventing the performance continues.
Upon cessation of such condition, such party shall promptly resume performance
hereunder.
42
16.2 Notice. A party affected by an event of force majeure shall give
the other party prompt written notice of the occurrence of any event of force
majeure and the nature and duration thereof. An affected party shall use all
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resume performance as quickly as possible and
to give the other party prompt written notice when it is again fully able to
perform such obligations. If such event of force majeure continues for more than
one hundred eighty (180) days, either party may terminate this Agreement by
giving ten (10) days written notice to the other party. If Celltech is the
affected party, such notice of resumption of performance shall state the
quantities of Product Orphan Medical needs to ship to enable Celltech to resume
performance of obligations.
16.3 Hardship. In the event that, during the Term, any law or
government-enacted regulation or decree renders the performance by either party
of its respective obligations hereunder unduly onerous or infeasible to
implement, Celltech and Orphan Medical shall consult each other and show mutual
understanding with a view to making such adjustments as would appear to be
necessary and feasible. The party who considers that the change in regulation or
decree is unduly onerous or infeasible to implement, shall notify the other
within ninety (90) days of the change in regulation or decree, specifying the
specific date and change, an evaluation of the hardship which is or shall be
suffered and the proposal made by it to remedy that change if feasible. If the
parties fail to reach an agreement within ninety (90) days after the date of the
notice, either party shall at any time thereafter be entitled to terminate this
Agreement upon written notice only with respect to the country or countries
affected by such change in regulation or decree.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR EXCHANGE OF SAFETY DATA
The Orphan Medical and Celltech individuals in charge of
pharmacovigilance shall follow the procedure outlined below in reporting adverse
experiences.
1. Definitions. Definitions shall be those in use by the International
Conference on Harmonization (ICH) as may be amended by ICH from time to time.
Current definitions are:
1.1. Adverse Event ("AE") means any untoward medical
occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a
pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal
relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and
unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease
temporarily associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product,
whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
1.2. Serious Adverse Event ("SAE") means any untoward medical
occurrence that at any dose:
o results in death,
o is life-threatening,
o requires inpatient hospitalization or
prolongation of existing hospitalization,
o results in persistent or significant
disability/incapacity, or
o results in a congenital anomaly/birth
defect.
1.3. Adverse Drug Reaction ("ADR")
o ADRs in the clinical setting refer to all
noxious and unintended responses to a
medicinal product (i.e., where the
relationship between an adverse event and
product can not be ruled out) related to any
doses.
o ADRs regarding marketed medicinal products
shall refer to a response to a drug which is
noxious and unintended and which occurs at
doses normally used in man for prophylaxis,
diagnosis, or therapy of disease or for
modification of physiological function.
1.4. Serious Adverse Drug Reaction ("SADR") means an ADR
having the characteristics described in 1.2.
1.5. Unexpected Adverse Drug Reaction ("UADR") means an ADR,
the nature or severity of which is not consistent with the applicable product
information
D-1
(e.g., Investigator's Brochure for an unapproved investigational product or
package insert for an approved product.)
2. Transmission of data between Orphan Medical and Celltech.
2.1. In the context of clinical trials:
2.1.1. All the SAEs related (expected and unexpected) to the
drug as assessed by investigators shall be forwarded on a quarterly basis under
the form of tabulated summary in English. Such summary shall bear at least the
following information: patient's ID number, protocol identification,
Investigator Center, type of serious event, symptomatology or pathology
observed, notified SAE. These clinical or biological manifestations shall be
named according to the dictionary in use by each party (e.g. MeDRA or WHO).
2.1.2. Each party, upon request, may receive available
additional or follow-up data from the other party.
2.2. In the context of post-marketing surveillance:
2.2.1. In the case of SAEs, the parties shall exchange data
within five (5) days of becoming aware of such SAE. In the case of SADRs and
UADRs, the parties shall exchange data within ten (10) days after becoming aware
of such SADR or UADR. In the case of any other AE or ADR the parties shall
exchange data within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of such AE or ADR.
2.3. All information between the parties shall be sent using
the standard reporting format for Health Authorities in force in the respective
countries concerned.

Commercially Reasonable Efforts to coordinate
mutually convenient days for such training; provided,

convenient time for Orphan Medical to provide such
services, Celltech shall designate the dates for such
training and notify Orphan Medical thereof at least
