the territory to which the sub-licences extend shall be coextensive with the Licensed Territory under this Agreement as the Licensed Territory is defined from time to time during the course of this Agreement;

the sub-licences shall be exclusive for so long as the licences granted under Clauses 2.2 and 2.3 remain exclusive so that, if for any reason any such licences become non-exclusive in any country, the sub-licences shall become non-exclusive in the same manner; and

payments by Alpharma (to the Licensor prior to the Intellectual Property Transfer Date and to the Third Party Licensors thereafter) shall be limited to the payment of royalties, such royalties to be no greater than the royalties payable by the Licensor to the Third Party Licensors under the terms of the Third Party Licences as in existence at the date of this Agreement.

4.5 Subject to the provisions of Clause 11, the Licensor shall have, prior to the Intellectual Property Transfer Date, a non-exclusive irrevocable world-wide royalty free licence without limit of time with the right to grant sub-licences to use all Improvements Alpharma is obliged to disclose to the Licensor under Clause 4.3 and to work under all intellectual property rights in respect thereof owned by Alpharma or any successor in title-of Alpharma.

4.6 The Licensor and Alpharma shall be free to apply for patent protection for any invention not belonging in whole or in part to the other, provided, however, that the specification in support thereof does not disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party's Confidential Information. If the specification in support thereof would require the disclosure of one Party's Confidential Information, the Parties shall consult with respect to the drafting of such specification and the Party whose Confidential Information is at issue shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to such Information being disclosed.

LICENCE FEES

On the Effective Date, Alpharma shall pay to the Licensor or at the Licensor's direction the following Licence Fees:

AUD 10 million in consideration of the Product Licence for Australia;

AUD 1 million in consideration of the Product Licence for Malaysia; and

AUD 7 million in consideration of the Product Licence for Indonesia.

Alpharma shall pay each further Licence Fee to the Licensor or at its direction within 90 days of the relevant Product Licence being granted to Alpharma.

Notwithstanding Clause 5.2, Alpharma may elect to pay any Licence Fee to the Licensor or at its direction prior to obtaining the relevant Product Licence and in such event no further payment under this Clause 5 shall be due upon the later receipt of a Product Licence in said country .

In the event that Alpharma applies for and is granted a Product Licence in respect of a country which is not part of the Intended Licensed Territory, the Parties shall use reasonable endeavours to agree a licence fee for such Product Licence (based upon a comparison of the number of pigs being raised commercially in such country with pig production in the various countries of the Licensed Territory and the Intended Licensed Territory) and Alpharma shall pay such sum to the Licensor or at its direction within 90 days of the relevant Product Licence being granted to Alpharma. Concurrently with any payment under this Clause 5.4, the payment under Schedule C with respect to the United States (and, accordingly, the Option Price) shall be reduced by an identical amount.

If the Parties fail to agree a licence fee under Clause 5.4 within 60 days of the relevant Product Licence being granted to Alpharma, the matter shall be referred for determination to a mutually acceptable accountant appointed by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. Any accountant appointed under this Clause 5.5 shall act as an expert, not as an arbitrator. The findings of the accountant shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the Licensor and Alpharma. Alpharma shall immediately pay the licence fee so determined to the Licensor.

Twenty-five (25) per cent of the Licence Fee paid pursuant to this Clause 5 for any country within the Licensed Territory shall be deemed to be payment on account of royalties payable to the Licensor under Clause 6 for that country, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of Licence Fees shall have no impact on the royalties payable under the sub-licences granted to Alpharma under the Third Party Licences.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed by the Parties that the Option Price shall be reduced by the amount of any Licence Fees paid by Alpharma prior to or on the Intellectual Property Transfer Date and that no further Licence Fees shall be due or payable after the Intellectual Property Transfer Date.

ROYALTIES AND RECORDS

In consideration for the licences granted under Clauses 2.2 and 2.3, and without prejudice to its obligations to pay royalties under the sub-licences granted to it under the Third Party Licences, Alpharma shall pay the Licensor, for the duration of the Licence Period,

a royalty of seven per cent (7%) of the Net Invoice Price in respect of all Sales of the Licensed Product in the Licensed Territory between the Effective Date and the expiration of the last USA patent within the Licensed Patents; and

a royalty of three per cent (3%) of the Net Invoiced Price in respect of all Sales of the Licensed Products in the Licensed Territory after the expiration of the last USA patent within the Licensed Patents.

Clause 6.1 shall not apply to Licensed Products supplied for promotional purposes, provided that at no time shall the value of such Licensed Products exceed five per cent (5%) of the total annual Sales of Licensed Product in any country within the Licensed Territory in each of the first two (2) years after commencement of commercial marketing of the Licensed Product in that country, or two per cent (2%) of the total annual Sales of the Licensed Product in anyone (1) year thereafter.

Royalties due pursuant to Clause 6.1 shall be paid to the Licensor at the Licensor's designated bank in US dollars, quarterly in arrears, within thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar quarter following the Effective Date, or, if later, the date of first commercial sales of the Licensed Product in the Licensed Territory. The currency in which the royalty is generated shall be converted to US dollars at the average buying rate of Chase Manhattan Bank New York for the latter currency for the period between the last business day of the relevant quarter to five business days prior to the date upon which payment is due.

At the same time as payment of any royalties due pursuant to Clause 6.1, Alpharma shall submit or cause to be submitted to the Licensor a statement in writing recording the Sales and other usage of Licensed Product (including promotional use), in each of the countries within the Licensed Territory, made by Alpharma and/or any sub-licensee and/or any agent or nominee of Alpharma during the period to which such royalties relate, the Net Invoiced Price or value of such Sales and/or usages and the amount of royalties payable thereon. In the event that no Sales or usage of the Licensed Product have been made during any such period in a particular country within the Licensed Territory Alpharma shall submit a nil statement in relation to such country.

Alpharma shall and shall procure that any sub-licensee, agent or nominee keep at its usual place of business, true and accurate records and books of account containing all necessary data for the determination of royalties payable under this Clause 6.

Licensor shall have the right, on giving Alpharma seven (7) days notice in writing, to instruct PriceWaterhouseCoopers (or other firm carrying on business in succession thereto) to make such examination during normal business hours of the books and records of Alpharma as shall be necessary to verify the accuracy of the statements submitted pursuant to Clause 6.4, provided however, that this right may not be exercised more than twice in any twelve (12) month period PriceWaterhouseCoopers shall act as an expert, not as an arbitrator, and the findings of PriceWaterhouseCoopers shall in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the Licensor and Alpharma. For the purposes of this Clause 6.6, the Parties agree that the personnel of PriceWaterhouseCoopers appointed shall not be drawn from personnel who have previously been engaged in advising on, the affairs of either of the Parties.

Any examination conducted pursuant to Clause 6.6 shall be conducted at the expense of the Licensor unless, when conducting such inspection, the accountant discovers an error of more than three per cent (3%) in the returns made by Alpharma since the Effective Date or the date of the last inspection, in which event Alpharma shall pay the cost of such inspection.

In the event that, in the course of any examination conducted pursuant to Clause 6.6, the accountant discovers any underpayment in the returns made by Alpharma since the Effective Date or the date of the last inspection, Alpharma shall pay a sum equivalent to the amount of such underpayment forthwith and, in the case of any overpayment being established, the Licensor shall repay the amount of such overpayment forthwith.

PAYMENT

Subject to Clauses 7.2 and 17.3, all payments shall be made free from any deductions or any other set-offs whatsoever and shall be made by electronic transfer to the Licensor or at the Licensor's direction.

The parties agree that all payments under Clauses 5 and 6 shall be treated for U.S. federal income and other taxes as instalments of the purchase price for the Intellectual Property. Any withholding tax paid or required to be paid to any legitimate authority or held by Alpharma on account of payments to the Licensor under this Agreement shall be deducted from the amount otherwise due or, if not so deducted, shall be returned to Alpharma on its request. Alpharma shall secure and immediately send to the Licensor proof of any such taxes withheld or required to be withheld and paid or required to be paid by Alpharma.

The Licensor agrees to indemnify Alpharma and hold it harmless from all liability for taxes imposed with respect to the Intellectual Property or the Third Party Licences for any taxable year or period ending on or before the Effective Date (and for an appropriate portion of any taxes so imposed for a taxable year or period straddling the Effective Date).

If Alpharma defaults in the payment of any sum due to the Licensor, without prejudice to the Licensor's other rights and remedies, such sum shall bear interest before as well as after any judgment or award from its due date up to and including the date of payment at 3% per annum over the base lending rate of Chase Manhattan Bank, New York from time to time in force.

PRODUCT LICENCES

Alpharma shall use its best endeavours at all times to file and prosecute to grant applications for Product Licences in accordance with the Registration Programme, which applications and resulting Product Licences shall be in the name of Alpharma.

The Licensor shall, at Alpharma's reasonable request and at Alpharma's expense, co-operate with Alpharma in the submission and prosecution of applications for Product Licences.

If any Regulatory Authority other than the FDA requires Alpharma to perform clinical or similar trials (including confirmatory field trials) or present material data or information not generally required by the FDA and the cost to Alpharma of complying with such requirement when compared with the anticipated market for Licensed Products in that country would, in Alpharma's reasonable opinion, be uneconomic, Alpharma shall notify the Licensor and may, with the consent of the Licensor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) abandon that Product Licence application.

At the end of each calendar quarter during the Licence Period, Alpharma shall provide the Licensor with a detailed report of its progress with respect to obtaining Product Licences on a country by country basis, and its compliance with the Registration Programme, together with any other information relevant to the Licensed Products.

In each January and June of the Licence Period, the Licensor and Alpharma shall discuss the progress of the existing Product Licence applications and the submission of forthcoming Product Licence applications.

If there is any delay in obtaining any Product Licence resulting from Alpharma's failure to take (and to continue to take) all such steps with respect to the filing and prosecution process for the Product Licence in question as could reasonably be expected to be taken by a prominent animal health company of international reputation, the Licensor shall have the right, upon written request, to attend meetings between Alpharma and the relevant Regulatory Authority, provided however that the Licensor will use best endeavours at any such meetings not to interfere in the relationship between Alpharma and the relevant Regulatory Authority.

Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 8.1 and 17.6, and subject always to Clause 16, Alpharma shall, in the event that any Product Licence application has not been filed within nine months of the applicable Target Submission Date, pay by way of liquidated damages to the Licensor in respect of such period only an unrefundable amount equal to 10% of the Licence Fee payable on the grant of that Product Licence. Such amount shall be due and payable within 30 days of the end of the ninth month following the relevant Target Submission Date.

Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 8.1 and 17.6, and subject always to Clause 16, Alpharma shall, in the event that a Product Licence application has been filed but the relevant Product Licence has not been granted for whatever reason within one year of the applicable Target Grant Date, pay by way of liquidated damages to the Licensor in respect of such period only an unrefundable amount equal to 10% of the Licence Fee payable on the grant of that Product Licence, provided that no obligation to make such payment shall arise (and Alpharma shall not be in breach of this Agreement) if Alpharma has taken (and continues to take) all such steps with respect to the filing and prosecution process for the Product Licence in question as could reasonably be expected of a prominent animal health company of international reputation and experience. Such amount shall be due and payable within 30 days of the end of the year following the relevant Target Grant Date.

If at any time Alpharma is liable to pay the sums referred to in Clauses 8.7 and 8.8 with respect to the same Product Licence application, any sums paid under Clause 8.7 shall be set off against any sums payable under Clause 8.8. For the avoidance of doubt, any sums paid or payable under Clauses 8.7 and 8.8 may not be set off against the Licence Fee payable on the grant of the Product Licence in question.

Alpharma shall inform the Licensor within 48 hours of being granted a Product Licence of such grant and shall, within 60 days of a Product Licence being granted to Alpharma, supply the Licensor with a full copy of the relevant Product Licence.

If the FDA requires Alpharma to submit a two year toxicology report in the context of the application for a Product Licence in the USA, Alpharma shall immediately send the Licensor a copy of the FDA's request for such report and the Registration Programme shall be altered as set forth in Schedule C.

MANUFACTURE OF LICENSED PRODUCTS

Alpharma hereby undertakes to commission, design and construct, or purchase or lease, in a suitable location to be determined by Alpharma, a production plant for the manufacture of Licensed Products which meets the relevant requirements of the relevant Regulatory Authority for such facilities. The plant shall be designed with a combined capacity of 75 million Pig Doses per annum but Alpharma shall be entitled to construct the plant in phases to meet market demand provided that the first phase shall have a capacity of not less than 25 million Pig Doses per annum and provided further that Alpharma has used its best endeavours to complete such phase within eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date.

Alpharma shall manufacture the Licensed Products to at least the standards of quality and production used by SCB and/or the Licensor prior to the date of this Agreement, and, without prejudice to its obligations under Clause 4.3, Alpharma shall, from time to time, advise the Licensor of any alterations or changes made to the specifications of the Licensed Products.

Alpharma shall, forthwith upon the written request of the Licensor, and in no event more often than every six months with respect to each plant used by Alpharma, at Alpharma's expense send samples of the Licensed Products manufactured at such plant to the Licensor at the Licensor's address set out in Clause 23.3.

Alpharma shall at all times indemnify and keep indemnified the Licensor against all or any costs of claims, damages, legal costs or other expenses incurred by the Licensor or for which the Licensor may become liable which relate to the manufacture, distribution, sale, supply or use of Licensed Products by or on behalf of Alpharma or its sub-licensees, including, without limitation, claims based on product liability laws.

Alpharma shall, in accordance with Alpharma's policy guidelines relating to product liability insurance in force from time to time, include the Licensed Products under its product liability insurance policy, as such insurance policy exists from time to time, and provided that the insurer accepts the Licensed Products for such insurance. In the event that the insurer refuses cover for a Licensed Product, Alpharma shall immediately inform the Licensor and provide the Licensor with the relevant documentation from the insurer. Alpharma shall provide the Licensor with a certificate of insurance including sufficient evidence of the amount and currency of such insurance and shall forthwith notify the Licensor of any change in any of the terms of such insurance relating to the Licensed Products.

MARKETING AND SALE OF LICENSED PRODUCTS

Alpharma shall use its best endeavours at all times to promote, sell and expand the sales of Licensed Products in the Licensed Territory during the Licence Period, and shall provide such advertising and publicity as may reasonably be expected to be necessary to bring the Licensed Product to the attention of the pig industry, veterinarians and other relevant parties provided that samples of such advertising and publicity material shall simultaneously be sent to the Licensor for its information.

In the event that Alpharma fails to offer the Licensed Products for commercial sale in any country in respect of which it has obtained a Product Licence within one (1) year after receipt of said Product Licence, or at any time thereafter, ceases offering such Licensed Product for commercial sale, the Licensor may serve written notice on Alpharma of such failure or cessation. Following receipt of such notice, Alpharma shall within three months of such receipt exercise the option to purchase the Intellectual Property in accordance with Clause 15 or remedy such failure. In the event that Alpharma fails either to exercise the option or to remedy the failure to offer the Licensed Products for commercial sale, then, without prejudice to Clause 17.6:

the licence granted in Clause 2.1 shall automatically become non-exclusive as regards that country;

the licences granted pursuant to Clause 2.2 and 2.3 shall automatically become non-exclusive as regards that country;

Alpharma shall forthwith supply the Licensor with a copy of the up-to-date Registration Dossier for that country for use at the Licensor's risk and expense; and

the Licensor's undertaking in Clause 11 shall not apply to that country.

In the event that Alpharma markets, or initiates the marketing of a product anywhere in the Licensed Territory or the Intended Licensed Territory which competes or is likely to compete with the Licensed Products (provided, however, that any product marketed by Alpharma at the date of this Agreement shall not be deemed competitive for the purpose of this Clause), the Licensor may serve notice on Alpharma requesting it to refrain from doing so. Following receipt of that notice, Alpharma shall within six months of such receipt exercise the option to purchase the Intellectual Property in accordance with Clause 15 or comply with such request. In the event that Alpharma fails to exercise the option or comply with such request, then, without prejudice to Clause 17.6:

the licence granted in Clause 2.1 shall automatically terminate;

the licences granted in Clauses 2.2 and 2.3 shall automatically become non-exclusive;

Alpharma shall forthwith supply the Licensor with up-to-date copies of all Registration Dossiers in its possession or control for use at the Licensor's risk and expense; and

the Licensor's undertaking in Clause 11 shall terminate.

Alpharma hereby authorises the Licensor or its agent or representative to use any Registration Dossier supplied pursuant to Clause 10.2.3 or 10.3.3 to effect a duplicate registration in the relevant country, and, in the case of Registration Dossiers supplied pursuant to Clause 10.3.3, to effect Product Licence registrations anywhere in the world, in either case in the name of the Licensor and/or such other party as the Licensor may in its sole discretion determine.

For the purposes of implementing the provisions of Clauses 10.2 or 10.3, Alpharma undertakes to do all acts and such other things at the Licensor's request and expense that the Licensor may in its reasonable discretion require in order to give effect to the terms of Clause 10.2 or Clause 10.3, as the case may be.

LICENSOR'S UNDERTAKING

During the Licence Period, the Licensor undertakes that it will not use the Intellectual Property or the rights under the Third Party Licences or grant any other licences with respect of the Intellectual Property or sub-licences under the Third Party Licences or to enter any agreement with or assignment to any third party or permit any encumbrance which would be inconsistent or otherwise conflict with the terms of this Agreement.

TRADE XXXX LICENCE

In consideration of Alpharma carrying out its obligations pursuant to Clause 10, the Licensor grants Alpharma a fully paid up licence to use the Trade Xxxx in the Licensed Territory as a trade xxxx in relation to Licensed Products in accordance with this Agreement (the "Trade Xxxx Licence").

The Trade Xxxx Licence shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for the Licence Period.

Alpharma may, exercising its reasonable commercial judgment, use either the Trade Xxxx or an Alpharma Xxxx as a trade xxxx with respect to the Licensed Products in each country within the Licensed Territory. The provisions of Clause 12.4 shall apply to Alpharma where it elects to use the Trade Xxxx.

Alpharma shall observe such reasonable quality standards relating to the use of the Trade Xxxx as the Licensor may from time to time reasonably require and notify in advance to Alpharma in writing.

Alpharma shall not use any trade marks or trade names (other than the Trade Xxxx used in accordance with the Trade Xxxx Licence) or other devices which are or incorporate marks which are the same as or confusingly similar to the Trade Xxxx.

Alpharma shall not use any xxxx incorporating the word "Alpharma" as a trade xxxx with respect to the Licensed Products. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall give the Licensor any rights to the name or xxxx "Alpharma".

Alpharma acknowledges that the ownership of the Trade Xxxx and the goodwill relating to the Trade Xxxx vests and shall always remain vested in the Licensor during the Licence Period Alpharma undertakes not to do any act which is likely to invalidate or jeopardise the Licensor's rights in the Trade Xxxx, nor to assist any other party directly or indirectly in any such act

In the countries in respect of which Alpharma has elected under Clause 12.3 to use the Trade Xxxx as a trade xxxx with respect to the Licensed Products, the Licensor shall, at the Licensor's expense, (i) maintain and renew any registrations of the Trade Xxxx and (ii) prosecute to grant any applications to register the Trade Xxxx which have already been filed at the Effective Date.

If the Trade Xxxx is not registered in any country within the Licensed Territory in respect of which Alpharma has elected under Clause 12.3 to use the Trade Xxxx as a trade xxxx with respect to the Licensed Products, the Licensor shall apply to register the Trade Xxxx in that country. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor shall have no obligation to register and maintain registrations of the Alpharma Xxxx.

If at any time Alpharma ceases permanently to market the Licensed Product in any country within the Licensed Territory and/or has its licence to do so revoked for any reason, the Licensor shall be entitled forthwith to terminate the Trade Xxxx Licence with respect to that country.

No other licence in relation to the Trade Xxxx or any other trade xxxx or trade name shall be implied in favour of Alpharma by virtue of the provisions of this Agreement.

Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Clause 17.1, the Trade Xxxx Licence shall terminate.

If the Licensor terminates this Agreement in accordance with Clause 17.1, then the Licensor shall have the following rights in relation to any Alpharma Xxxx:

if the Licensor exercises its option under Clause 17.2.2, Alpharma shall, without charge to the Licensor, assign all rights in any Alpharma Xxxx to the Licensor and Alpharma hereby irrevocably appoints the Licensor its attorney for the purposes of executing any document or doing any act to perfect such assignment; or

if the Licensor does not exercise its option under Clause 17.2.2, Alpharma shall grant the Licensor a fully paid up licence to use any Alpharma Xxxx on the Licensed Products outside the Licensed Territory, and the Licensor shall observe such reasonable quality standards relating to the use of the Alpharma Xxxx as Alpharma may from time to time reasonably require and notify in advance to the Licensor in writing.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Each Participant undertakes that it shall keep secret and confidential all Confidential Information and Know-How communicated to it by any of the others and shall not use or disclose the same or any part thereof to any person whatsoever except as provided in this Clause 13.

Each Participant may disclose Confidential Information and Know-How to those of its key directors, employees or consultants on a need to know basis who are directly concerned with the Licensed Product, provided that, before any such disclosure, it shall ensure that each of the relevant persons:

is made aware of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information, or the Know-How (as the case may be),

acknowledges in writing that he or she owes a duty of confidence to the Participant which originally disclosed the Confidential Information or Know-How (as the case may be),

enters into a confidentiality undertaking in such form as the Participant whose Confidential Information is being disclosed may reasonably specify, and

complies with the obligations set out in that confidentiality undertaking.

Each Participant may also disclose Confidential Information and Know-How to

its auditors, and financial and legal advisers and any other persons having a legal right or duty to know the Confidential Information or Know-How (as the case may be) in connection with the business of that Participant;

to any Regulatory Authority as required to file and prosecute to grant a Product Licence in that country; and

where ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to do so or in accordance with the rules from time to time in force of any applicable recognised investment exchange (as defined by the Financial Services Act 1986) or there is any other statutory obligation to do so,

provided always that, where practicable (and, in any event excluding disclosures pursuant to Clause 13.3.2), the Participant required to make such disclosure shall notify the Participant who owns the Confidential Information or Know-How (as the case may be), identifying the Information or Know-How in question and giving the latter Participant adequate time to make representations about the required disclosure to any relevant bodies. The Participant required to make such disclosure shall further use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that any such persons to whom the Confidential Information or Know-How is required to be disclosed under this Clause 13.3 hold it in confidence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Each Participant may disclose Confidential Information and Know-How to a sublicensee properly appointed in accordance with the Agreement, provided that before any such disclosure the disclosing Participant shall have entered into a confidentiality undertaking with its sub-licensee on terms no less onerous than the provisions of this Clause 13.

Each Participant shall take all reasonable steps to minimise the risk of disclosure of Confidential Information and the Know-How and a breach of Clause 13 including, but not limited to:

ensuring that only persons whose duties require them to possess Confidential Information or the Know-How have access to it; and

by effecting and maintaining adequate security measures to safeguard the Confidential Information and Know-How From unauthorised access, use and misappropriation, including, but not limited to, providing proper and secure storage for papers, drawings and other material within the Confidential Information and forbidding unauthorised persons access to the place or places where these are stored.

Each Participant undertakes to notify the relevant other Participant promptly of any unauthorised use, copying or disclosure of any Confidential Information belonging to that Participant or Know-How of which it becomes aware and to provide all reasonable assistance to the latter Participant to terminate such unauthorised use and/or disclosure.

In the event that the obligation of confidentiality imposed by the Agreement is breached by any Participant either wilfully or negligently or carelessly, then the Participant at fault shall be responsible to the injured Participant for all the damages arising from the breach and communication to the third party of the Confidential Information or the Know-How (as the case may be) excluding indirect, consequential damages and loss of profits, provided that such injured Participant shall nevertheless be obliged to mitigate its loss in such circumstances.

The provisions of this Clause 13 shall not apply to any Confidential Information or Know-How which:

is or comes into the public domain through no fault of the receiving Participant, its employees, agents or sub-contractors; or

is lawfully disclosed to the receiving Participant by a third party rightfully in possession of it; or

is independently developed by the receiving Participant without access to or knowledge or use of the Confidential Information or Know-How.

The Participants further agree to treat the terms of this Agreement as confidential and no Participant may disclose such terms to any third party (except to those persons listed in Clauses 13.2 and 13.3 and only in accordance with the terms of those Clauses) without the prior written consent of the other Participants, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that Alpharma shall be entitled to disclose the existence of the Agreement and its material terms to such persons in connection with its obligations as a listed public company and the making of appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange as may be recommended by its chief legal officer.

The provisions in this Clause 13 shall remain in force without limit in time and notwithstanding termination of this Agreement howsoever occurring.

MAINTENANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF PATENTS

The Licensor undertakes to apply to record the change of ownership with respect to those of the Licensed Patents which it acquired from SCB prior to the Intellectual Property Transfer Date.

The Licensor shall, at its own cost (subject to Clause 14.4), prosecute to grant all patent applications within the Licensed Patents and shall take all actions required in the relevant /jurisdictions to maintain all patents within the Licensed Patents in force for the full term thereof.

The Licensor reserves the right to abandon any patent application or patent or not to file a patent application in respect of a Licensed Product in any country if it reasonably considers that the costs of doing so are out of proportion to the benefit to be gained from continuing with that application or maintaining that patent or if the Licensor has reasonable grounds, having taken the advice of patent agents in the relevant jurisdiction, for believing that the application would be refused.

Alpharma shall have the right, after notifying the Licensor in writing, to pay on behalf of the Licensor all charges required for the maintenance of the Licensed Patents and to deduct such costs from the royalty payments due to the Licensor under Clause 6. When Alpharma submits statements in accordance with Clause 6.4, any deduction from the royalty payments under this Clause 14.4 during the relevant period shall be evidenced by the appropriate documentation.

In the event that there is (i) any infringement or suspected or threatened infringement of the Licensed Patents or misappropriation or misuse of the Know-How, or (ii) any third party claim in relation to any of the Licensed Patents, the Third Party Patents, the Know-How or the Third Party Know-How, or (iii) any third party claim that the manufacture, use, sale or other dealing or disposition of the Licensed Products infringes the intellectual property rights of such party in any part of the Licensed Territory or the Intended Licensed Territory on such a scale as to affect prejudicially Alpharma's business in the Licensed Products in any part of the Licensed Territory or the Intended Licensed Territory, the Licensor and Alpharma shall as soon as practicable consult to decide what steps shall be taken to prevent, terminate or contest such infringement, misappropriation or claim, and Alpharma may, with the consent of the Licensor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, having due regard to the strength of the claim and the commercial interests of and monetary risks to both Parties) (1) suspend any pending Product Licence application or (2) suspend its promotion and sale of the Licensed Products in the country in which such infringement, misappropriation or misuse is alleged to be taking place or such claim has been made for such time as the Parties may agree. Alternatively, if the Parties agree that such infringement, misappropriation, or claim could not, in good faith, be contested then any pending Product Licence application or promotion and sale of the Licensed Products in such part of the Licensed Territory shall be terminated.

Unless the Parties otherwise agree, pursuant to Clause 14.5 or as provided in Clause 14.8, the Licensor may take all steps (including any proceedings) as may be necessary to halt the alleged infringement, misappropriation or claim (as the case may be), and Alpharma shall provide such assistance, at the Licensor's cost, as the Licensor may reasonably request in connection therewith. The Licensor shall be entitled to retain for its own absolute benefit any damages, costs or other expenses awarded or recovered in any proceedings conducted under this Clause 14.6.

If the Licensor fails within a reasonable period in the circumstances to take such steps pursuant to Clause 14.6 or as the Parties may have agreed that it should take pursuant to Clause 14.5, Alpharma shall have the right and is hereby authorised by the Licensor to take those steps independently. In so doing Alpharma shall not be taken as acting as the agent or in any way on behalf of the Licensor. Subject to receiving advice from experienced patent counsel that infringement proceedings (including any interlocutory proceedings where relevant) stand a reasonable chance of success, Alpharma may request the Licensor to lend its name to such proceedings and provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith, and the Licensor shall do so, subject to Alpharma indemnifying it in respect of all costs, damages and expenses that it may incur, including any award of costs against it but Alpharma shall be entitled to retain for its own absolute benefit any damages, costs or other expenses awarded or recovered in any proceedings conducted under this Clause 14.7.

In the event that Alpharma is sued for infringement of any patent or patents by any third party by reason of its manufacture, use or sale of the Licensed Products, the Licensor shall, at Alpharma's reasonable request and expense, assist Alpharma in its defence to such action to the extent that, in all the circumstances, it is reasonable to do so, but shall otherwise be under no obligations in respect thereof All costs of any such action shall be borne by Alpharma to whom shall belong all sums that may be recovered from the third party.

At any time during this Agreement, Alpharma undertakes not directly or indirectly to oppose or assist any third party to oppose the grant of patents on any patent application within the Licensed Patents, or to dispute or directly or indirectly to assist any third party to dispute the validity of any patent within the Licensed Patents, or any of the claims thereof

OPTION TO PURCHASE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

In consideration of sum of $1 AUD receipt of which is hereby acknowledged., the Licensor hereby grants to Alpharma for the Licence Period an exclusive option to purchase all of the Intellectual Property and take an assignment of the Third Party Licences at the Option Price less the sum of all Licence Fees already paid to Licensor under this Agreement.

In any event, notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 15.1, Alpharma shall purchase the Intellectual Property and take an assignment of the Third Party Licences forthwith upon the grant of the Product Licence for the USA at the Option Price (less the sum of all Licence Fees already paid to the Licensor under this Agreement).

In the event that the option is exercised pursuant to Clause 15.1, or in the event that Alpharma purchases the Intellectual Property and takes the assignment of the Third Party Licences pursuant to Clause 15.2,

Alpharma and the Licensor shall agree the proportion of the Option Price, if any, which is allocable to the assignment of those of the Licensed Patents which are registered at the UK patent office (the "UK patents") in the following manner: if a Product Licence has been issued in respect of the UK then the consideration allocable to the UK patents shall be the same fraction of the Option Price (less the sum of all Licence Fees already paid) as the fraction of the Licence Fee paid for the UK is to all Licence Fees already paid under this Agreement; but if a Product Licence has not been issued in respect of the UK then the consideration allocable to the UK patents shall be $1 AUD;

Alpharma shall purchase, and Licensor shall sell and effectively transfer to Alpharma, the Intellectual Property and take the assignment of the Third Party Licences subject to any licences that the Licensor may have granted in the event that the provisions of Clause 10.2 and/or Clause 10.3 have come into effect;

the Parties agree to execute a formal patent assignment in a mutually agreed form. If Alpharma so requests and at Alpharma's expense, the Licensor shall execute separate assignments for each patent office at which the assignments are to be registered

FORCE MAJEURE

If either Party is prevented or delayed in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement-by a Force Majeure Event, then that Party shall forthwith serve notice in writing on the other Party specifying the nature and extent of the event giving rise to such Force Majeure Event, and shall subject to the service of such notice and to Clause 16.3 have no liability in respect of the performance of such of its obligations as are prevented by such Force Majeure Event during the continuation of such Event.

If one Party (the "prevented Party") is prevented from the performance of its obligations for a continuous period in excess of twelve months by a Force Majeure Event, the other Party (the "other Party") may terminate this Agreement forthwith solely with respect to the country affected by the Force Majeure Event on service of written notice upon the prevented Party, provided that (i) the other Party would not be affected by that Force Majeure Event substantially to the same extent or in substantially the same manner as the prevented Party, and (ii) the prevented Party does not, within ten (10) business day after receipt of said notice, commence performance in a commercially equivalent manner or provide the other Party with the reasonably estimated economic equivalent of performance. If there is a termination pursuant to this Clause 16.2 then:

neither Party shall have any liability to the other with respect to that country except that rights and liabilities which have accrued prior to such termination shall continue to subsist and the provisions of this Clause 16.2 shall apply;

the licences granted in Clauses 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 shall automatically become non-exclusive as regards that country;

the Trade Xxxx Licence shall automatically terminate with respect to that country;

the Licensor's undertaking in Clause 11 shall not apply to that country;

the Agreement shall remain in force with respect to the rest of the world.

Without prejudice to Clause 16.2, the Party claiming to be prevented or delayed in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of the Force Majeure Event shall use all reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to an end or to find a solution by which the Agreement may be performed despite the continuance of the Force Majeure Event.

TERMINATION

In the event that Alpharma:

commits a Serious Breach and fails to remedy such Breach within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice by the Licensor calling for its remedy; or

commits any act of insolvency; or

suffers the appointment of a receiver which shall not be discharged within 90 days after such receiver's appointment; or

has any final judgment material to the financial condition of Alpharma granted against it and fails to take effective steps to satisfy, appeal against or set aside such judgment within the time period provided by applicable law after such judgment has come to its notice; or

is voluntarily or compulsorily liquidated

then the Licensor may with immediate effect terminate certain of its obligations to and the rights of Alpharma under this Agreement to the extent set forth below.

In the event that the Licensor terminates the Agreement pursuant to Clause 17.1., Alpharma may, at its option., within 30 days pay the Licensor the Option Price (less the sum of all licence fees already paid to the Licensor under this Agreement) and Alpharma shall have the rights and the Parties shall perform as set out in Clause 15.3. In the event that Alpharma elects not to pay the Option Price (less the sum of all licence fees already paid to the Licensor under this Agreement):

the right to apply for further Product Licences and all rights to future licences in the Intended Licensed Territory granted pursuant to Clause 2 and the sub-licence rights under the Third Party Licences with respect to the Intended Licensed Territory shall immediately terminate and the option contained in Clause 15.1 shall immediately terminate;

at its option., exercisable within 60 days after the termination notice required by Clause 17.1, the Licensor may purchase Alpharma's rights within the Licensed Territory for a cash price (payable 30 days after the exercise of Licensor's rights hereunder) equal to all Licence Fees paid pursuant to Clause 5 hereof

in the event Licensor exercises the option set forth in Clause 17.2.2 then concurrently with Licensor's payment of the purchase price required by Clause 17.2.2:

Alpharma shall return promptly to the Licensor all Know-How and Third Party Know-How, including, without limitation, all engineered cell lines, and shall co-operate with the Licensor in the cancellation of all or any rights (including all licences and, subject to Clause 17.2.3(b) all sub-licences entered into pursuant hereto) and shall execute and do all such documents, acts and things as may be necessary in such connection;

the Licensor shall automatically have the right to take an absolute assignment of Alpharma's rights under any sub-licence granted pursuant to Clause 2.4 and Alpharma hereby irrevocably appoints the Licensor its attorney for the purpose of notifying any sublicensee of such a change and of signing any document or doing any act to perfect such assignment; and

Alpharma shall do all acts to transfer the Product Licences to Licensor for use at Licensor's risk and expense, and such other things at Licensor's reasonable request and expense that the Licensor may in its discretion require in order to give effect to this Clause.

Alpharma shall forthwith supply Licensor with a copy of all Registration Dossiers which Licensor may use, at its risk and expense, in all countries other than the Licensed Territory; and

the Licensor's undertaking in Clause 11 shall not apply to any country outside the Licensed Territory.

In the event that the Licensor defaults in a material obligation hereunder, and fails to remedy such default within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice by Alpharma calling upon it to remedy such default, then Alpharma may with immediate effect terminate this Agreement, in which event the licences granted under Clauses 2.2 and 2.3 prior to the date of termination shall continue, and licences shall be granted under Clause 2.3 upon the payment of Licence Fees in respect of the grant of any Product Licences already applied for prior to the date of termination, and Alpharma's obligation to make payments under Claus~ 5 and 6 shall continue save that Alpharma may elect to set off against such payments any and all costs and expenses which Alpharma may reasonably have incurred as a result of the Licensor's default.

Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement (howsoever occurring),

the provisions of Clauses 1, 9.4, 13, 17.6 (in so far as it relates to preexisting breaches of this Agreement), 25 and 26 shall survive such termination and continue in full force and effect without limit in time; and

except in the event that the Licensor exercises the option under Clause 17.2.2, Alpharma shall retain all Product Licences granted prior to the date of termination.

On termination of this Agreement, howsoever occurring, all fees and charges accrued (but unpaid) pursuant to this Agreement shall forthwith become due and payable.

Except as specifically set forth herein to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall limit any remedies available to either Party at law or in equity for the breach of the other Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
