5.3 Milestones. InterMune shall pay to Array the following amounts [ * ] following
the first achievement by Array or by InterMune or its Affiliates, Sublicensees or other designees,
as the case may be, of each of the following milestones with respect any [ * ] or Product that
itself, or the manufacture, use or sale of which is claimed by a Valid Claim or that incorporates
as its active ingredient a Hit Compound that was identified as such pursuant to the Research
Collaboration (a “Milestone Product”).

5.3.1 Milestone payments [ * ] set forth above shall each be payable [ * ] upon the
achievement of the corresponding milestone event with a Milestone
Product being developed primarily for the treatment of hepatitis C
infections and related conditions (collectively, the “HCV Indication”), and [ * ] upon the
achievement of the corresponding milestone event with a Milestone Product [ * ]. Milestone payment
[ * ] set forth above shall be due [ * ], and milestone payments [ * ] set forth above shall be due
[ * ] in relation to a
Milestone Product being developed for the HCV Indication, [ * ],
regardless of the number of additional times the corresponding milestone events are achieved
with one (1) or multiple [ * ] or Milestone Products.
5.3.2 In the event that one or more milestone payments described above becomes due (a “Later
Milestone”) in relation to the achievement of a corresponding milestone event with a Milestone
Product being developed primarily for the HCV Indication, and one or more of the earlier-stage
milestone payments has not been paid to Array
in relation to the achievement of a corresponding milestone event with a Milestone Product
being developed primarily for the HCV Indication,
then all earlier-stage milestone payments in relation to the achievement of a corresponding
milestone event with a Milestone Product being developed primarily for the HCV Indication that
have not been paid shall be paid together with
the Later Milestone payment. Similarly, if a Later Milestone becomes due in relation to the
achievement of the corresponding milestone event with a Milestone
Product [ * ], then all earlier
stage milestone payments in relation to the achievement of the corresponding milestone
events with
a Milestone Product [ * ] shall be paid together with such Later Milestone.
For clarity, nothing in
this Section 5.3.2 shall be deemed to contradict the limits set forth in
Section 5.3.1 as to the
number of times each milestone payment is available under this Agreement.
5.3.3 For purposes of this Section 5.3, a clinical trial shall be deemed initiated upon the
first dosing of the first patient in such trial.
5.4 Royalties.
5.4.1 Products. InterMune shall pay Array a running royalty of [ * ] of Net Sales of
each Product during the time periods and in countries in which its manufacture, use or sale of such
Product is claimed by a Valid Claim. Such rate shall not be increased if multiple Valid Claims
claim the manufacture, use or sale of such Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and when the
only Valid Claim claiming such manufacture, use or sale is a claim directed to a method of use or
manufacture solely invented by InterMune (an “InterMune Sole Non-composition Claim”), then no such
running royalty shall be due. No running royalties shall be due hereunder on the basis of the use
of the Collaboration Know-How.
[ * ] = Certain information on this page has been redacted and filed separately with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted
portions.
11
5.4.2 Royalty Term. InterMune’s obligation to pay royalties to Array under this
Section 5.4 shall continue for each Product that itself or the method of manufacture or use of
which is claimed by a Valid Claim, on a country-by-country basis, until such time as there are no
Valid Claims (other than InterMune Sole Non-composition Claims) which but for the licenses granted
herein would be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of such Product in such country. Upon
the expiration of such term of royalties in any country with respect to any Product, InterMune’s
license under Section 4.2 with respect to such Product in such country shall automatically become
fully paid, nonexclusive and perpetual.
5.4.3 Third Party Royalties. In the event that (i) it becomes necessary or useful for
InterMune to obtain a license under a valid, issued patent of a Third Party, where such patent
covers the composition, methods of therapeutic use, or all practical methods of synthesis of a
Product, and such patent would be infringed, but for the existence of the Third-Party license, by
the discovery, research, development or sale of such Product, and (ii) InterMune must pay such
Third Party for such license a royalty on Net Sales of such Product in a particular country, then
InterMune may deduct [ * ] of the royalties reasonably so paid to such Third Party against
royalties due Array on Net Sales of such Product; provided that the royalties otherwise due to
Array in any quarter will not be lower than [ * ] (the “Floor”) by operation of an offset provided
for in this Section 5.4.3. Amounts that InterMune is unable to deduct in a particular calendar
quarter due to the Floor may be carried forward and deducted in future calendar quarters, subject
always to the Floor in the future calendar quarters.
5.4.4 Combination Products. If InterMune sells any Product in the form of a
combination product containing one or more active ingredients in addition to the active ingredient
that is a Lead Compound (which may be either combined in a single formulation or packaged as
separate formulations sold as a single package), Net Sales for such combination product will be
calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such combination product by the fraction A/(A+B)
where A is the invoice price of the Lead Compound portion of the combination product if sold
separately, and B is the total invoice price of the other active ingredient or ingredients in the
combination, if sold separately. If, on a country-by-country basis, the other active ingredient or
ingredients in the combination are not sold separately in said country, Net Sales for the purpose
of determining royalties due hereunder on the combination product shall be calculated by
multiplying actual Net Sales of such combination product by the fraction A/C where A is the invoice
price of the Lead Compound portion of the combination product if sold separately, and C is the
invoice price of the combination product. If, on a country-by-country basis, the Licensed Product
is not sold separately in said country, Net Sales for the purposes of determining royalties of the
combination product shall be determined by the Parties in good faith on the basis of the fair
market values of the different active ingredients of the combination Product.
5.4.5 Compulsory License. If either Party learns that a Third Party other than an
InterMune Affiliate or Sublicensee has obtained a compulsory license in any country under the
Collaboration Patents, or Identified Patents or Preparatory Patents exclusively licensed to
InterMune hereunder, to sell a Competitive Product (as defined below), then such Party shall
promptly notify the other Party of such occurrence. If the royalty rate payable to Array under
such compulsory license is less than the royalty rate otherwise applicable in such country
hereunder, then, in each calendar year in which the Competitive Product is being sold in such
[ * ] = Certain information on this page has been redacted and filed separately with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted
portions.
12
country, and units of the Competitive Product equal at least [ * ] of the total combined units
of such Competitive Product and the Product in the particular country, sold in such calendar year,
then the royalty rate set forth in Section 5.4.1 shall be reduced, with respect to Net Sales in
such country, to the lower royalty rates applicable in such country pursuant to such compulsory
license. Any reduction in the royalty due Array as a result of sales of such Competitive Product
shall be available to InterMune only with respect to Net Sales in those calendar years and in those
countries described by the foregoing sentence. For the purposes of this Section 5.4.5, a
“Competitive Product” shall mean any product the manufacture, use or sale of which is claimed by
any of the foregoing patents, and which competes with any Product in the relevant country. If such
compulsory license is required to be granted by InterMune, then the amounts received by InterMune
pursuant to such compulsory license shall be deemed to be Net Sales hereunder (in lieu of the sales
pursuant to the compulsory license being included in Net Sales).
5.4.6 Later Claims. If (a) InterMune was not required to pay royalties on Net Sales
of any Product during a time period when and in a country where a pending claim that would have
qualified as a Valid Claim but for claiming a first priority to more than five (5) years from the
date pendency was determined (that was “Temporarily Disqualified”, with derivative forms being
interpreted accordingly), and that covers such Product itself or the method of manufacture or use
thereof in such country, and (b) such claim later issues as an issued Valid Claim covering such
Product itself or the method of manufacture or use thereof in such country, then (c) with the next
royalty report due pursuant to Section 6.1 after such issuance (but no sooner than thirty (30) days
after such issuance), InterMune shall report and pay to Array the royalties that would have been
due pursuant to Section 5.4.1 on Net Sales of such Product in such country but for the Temporary
Disqualification of such claim.
ARTICLE 6
PAYMENTS; BOOKS AND RECORDS
PAYMENTS; BOOKS AND RECORDS
6.1 Royalty Reports and Payments. After the first sale of a Product on which
royalties are payable by InterMune or its Affiliates or Sublicensees hereunder, InterMune shall
make quarterly written reports to Array within [ * ] after the end of each calendar quarter,
stating in each such report, separately for InterMune and each Affiliate and Sublicensee, the
aggregate Net Sales, by country, of each Product sold during the calendar quarter upon which a
royalty is payable under Section 5.4 above. InterMune shall pay to Array royalties due at the
rates specified in Section 5.4.
6.2 Payment Method. All payments due under this Agreement shall be made from a bank
located in the United States by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account
designated by Array. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars. In the event that the
due date of any payment subject to Article 5 hereof is a Saturday, Sunday or national holiday, such
payment may be paid on the following business day. Any payments that are not paid on the date such
payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law
at the prime rate as reported by the Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, New York, on the date such
payment is due, plus an additional [ * ], calculated on the number of days such payment is
delinquent.

6.3 Place of Royalty Payment; Currency Conversion. If any currency conversion shall
be required in connection with the calculation of royalties hereunder, such conversion shall be
made using the selling exchange rate for conversion of the foreign currency into U.S. Dollars,
quoted for current transactions reported in The Wall Street Journal (U.S., Western Edition),
averaged over all business days of the calendar quarter to which such payment pertains.
6.4 Records; Inspection. InterMune and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall keep
complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of determining the royalty
amounts payable under this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept by such party for at
least [ * ] following the end of the calendar quarter to which they pertain. Such records will be
open for inspection during such [ * ] period by a public accounting firm to whom InterMune has no
reasonable objection, solely for the purpose of verifying royalty statements hereunder. Such
public accounting firm shall be under written obligations of confidentiality and non-use no less
stringent than those set forth in Article 9. Such inspections may be made no more than once each
calendar year, at reasonable times and on reasonable notice. Inspections conducted under this
Section 6.4 shall be at the expense of Array, unless a variation or error producing an increase
exceeding [ * ] of the amount stated for the period covered by the inspection is established in the
course of any such inspection, whereupon all reasonable costs relating to the inspection for such
period and any unpaid amounts that are discovered will be paid promptly by InterMune to Array
together with interest thereon from the date such payments were due at the lesser of the prime rate
as reported by the Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, New York, plus an additional [ * ] or the
maximum rate permitted by law.
6.5 Taxes. Each Party shall bear and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Section 6.5, pay any and all taxes, duties, levies, and other similar charges (and any related
interest and penalties), however designated, imposed on that party as a result of the existence or
operation of this Agreement. If laws or regulations require that taxes be withheld, the paying
Party will (i) deduct those taxes from the remittable payment, (ii) timely pay the taxes to the
proper taxing authority, and (iii) send proof of payment to the other Party within sixty (60) days
following that payment.
ARTICLE 7
DUE DILIGENCE
DUE DILIGENCE
7.1 Due Diligence. InterMune shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and
commercialize at least one (1) Product, and to obtain the optimum commercial return for it in the
major markets of the world for it, consistent with high professional standards for the research,
development, commercialization, and marketing of pharmaceutical products of similar commercial
value potential and patent coverage; provided, however, that, and only if, at least one (1) Lead
Compound is identified pursuant to the Research Collaboration. Such diligence obligation shall be
the sole diligence obligation of InterMune with respect to such development and commercialization,
express or implied, under this Agreement or available in relation hereto at law or in equity. For
the avoidance of doubt, the overriding goal of the Research Collaboration is to identify Lead
Compounds, one of the criteria for which compounds is that the composition of matter of each (as
distinct from their methods of use and manufacture) be patentable. If no such Lead Compound is
identified in the Research Collaboration, then the Research Collaboration shall not have been
successful in the way that the Parties had anticipated
[ * ] = Certain information on this page has been redacted and filed separately with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted
portions.
14
when the Parties entered into this Agreement and InterMune agreed to fund the Research
Collaboration to the extent provided for hereunder. It is therefore the Parties’ intent that in
such event, in recognition of InterMune’s sponsorship of the Research Collaboration to the extent
provided for hereunder: (a) InterMune shall be entitled to retain its license pursuant to Section
4.2, and (b) InterMune shall have no diligence obligation with respect to the subject matter of
such license.
7.2 Reports. Until first commercial introduction of each royalty-bearing Product by
or on behalf of InterMune hereunder, InterMune shall keep Array apprised of the status of the
pre-clinical, clinical and commercial development of such Product by annually providing Array with
a written report summarizing such activities with respect to the applicable Product (and the Lead
Compound from which such Product is being developed) during the Agreement Term. The reports
described in this Section 7.2 shall contain sufficient information to allow Array to monitor
InterMune’s compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation, InterMune’s obligations
with respect to the payment of the milestones set forth in Section 5.3. All reports and information
provided under this Section 7.2 shall be deemed Confidential Information of InterMune. InterMune’s
obligations pursuant to this Section 7.2 are subject to Section 13.4 regarding successors in
interest to and Affiliates of Array.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
8.1 Disclosure and Ownership of Inventions.
8.1.1 Each Party shall promptly disclose to the other any patentable inventions conceived or
first reduced to practice pursuant to the Research Collaboration by or on behalf of such Party
promptly after such conception or reduction to practice. In addition, each Party shall disclose to
the other any Collaboration Know-How promptly after it is made or developed.
8.1.2 Inventorship of inventions that would be claimed by a Collaboration Patent shall be
determined in accordance with U.S. laws of inventorship. Solely invented such inventions, together
with the Collaboration Patents claiming such sole inventions, shall be solely owned by the Party
whose personnel made the invention. The Parties joint inventions that would be claimed by
Collaboration Patents, together with the Collaboration Patents claiming them, shall be jointly
owned by the Parties. Such joint ownership shall be in accordance with the default rights enjoyed
by co-inventors under U.S. patent law in the absence of a written agreement to the contrary
(throughout the world to the maximum extent permitted by law), such that, without limitation and
except as restricted by the licenses granted in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, financial commitments set
forth in Article 5 and prosecution and enforcement provisions set forth in this Article 8, each
Party may practice the subject matter of the jointly owned Collaboration Patents without a duty of
accounting to the Party.
8.1.3 Ownership of Collaboration Know-How shall be determined in accordance with the laws of
the state of New York.

8.2 Patent Prosecution.
8.2.1 Collaboration Technology. InterMune shall have the right, [ * ], to
(i) prepare, file, prosecute and maintain Collaboration Patents directed to Hit Compounds, Lead
Compounds and/or Products; pharmaceutical compositions containing a Hit Compound, Lead Compound,
and/or a Product; and methods of making or using any of the foregoing; and (ii) conduct any
interferences, re-examinations, reissues and oppositions relating thereto. InterMune shall keep
Array fully informed as to the status of such patent matters, including without limitation, by
providing Array the opportunity, as far in advance of filing dates as possible, to fully review and
comment on any documents which will be filed in any patent office; reasonably considering Array’s
comments thereon; and providing Array copies of any substantive documents relating to the
Collaboration Patents that InterMune receives from patent offices promptly after receipt, including
notice of all interferences, reissues, re-examinations, oppositions or requests for patent term
extensions. InterMune may elect, upon thirty (30) days prior notice, to discontinue prosecution of
any such patent applications and/or not to file or conduct any further activities with respect to
such patent applications or patents. In the event InterMune declines to file or, having filed,
fails to further prosecute or maintain any such patent applications or patents, or conduct any
proceedings including, but not limited to, interferences, re-examinations, reissues, oppositions
relating thereto, then Array shall have the right to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such
patent applications and patents in such countries as it deems appropriate, and conduct such
proceedings, at its sole expense. In such case, InterMune shall promptly execute all necessary
documents that may be required in order to enable Array to file, prosecute and maintain such patent
applications and to conduct any such proceedings.
8.2.2 Preparatory Patents. Section 8.2.1 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the
preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of solely those Preparatory Patents that are
directed primarily to Hit Compound(s) and/or Product(s) themselves, or the method of manufacture or
use of any of them (“Primary Preparatory Patents”), as it does to that of Collaboration Patents,
except to the extent that Array cannot grant InterMune preparation, filing, prosecution and/or
maintenance rights due to rights granted to a Third Party by Array with regard to any Primary
Preparatory Patent prior to the Effective Date. Array will keep InterMune reasonably informed of
the preparation filing, prosecution and maintenance of the other Preparatory Patents to the extent
relevant to any Hit Compound, Lead Compound or Product. It is understood and agreed that
InterMune’s rights under this Section 8.2.2 shall accrue with respect to a particular patent or
patent application at the time Array identifies such patent or patent application as being a
Preparatory Patent; provided that Array will make reasonable efforts to timely identify the
Preparatory Patents.
8.2.3 Other Technology. This Agreement does not alter the Parties’ responsibilities
with respect to patent applications and patents that are not Collaboration Patents or Preparatory
Patents. Accordingly, each Party shall be responsible, at its own expense and in its sole
discretion, for preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining, in such countries as it deems
appropriate, any and all patent applications and patents (other than Collaboration Patents and
Preparatory Patents) directed to inventions owned or controlled by such Party and conducting any
interferences, re-examinations, reissues and oppositions relating to such patent applications and
patents.

and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted
portions.
16
8.2.4 Cooperation. InterMune and Array shall each reasonably cooperate with and
assist the other at its own expense in connection with the activities described in Section 8.2.1,
at the other Party’s reasonable request, including without limitation by making scientists and
scientific records reasonably available to the prosecuting Party.
8.2.5 Certain Circumstances. This Section 8.2 is subject to the provisions of Section
13.4 regarding successors in interest to and Affiliates of Array.
8.3 Enforcement and Defense.
8.3.1 Notice. Each Party shall promptly notify the other of any knowledge it acquires
of any potential infringement of the Collaboration Patents and Preparatory Patents by a Third
Party.
8.3.2 InterMune. In the event that a Party believes a Third Party is infringing any
Collaboration Patent, InterMune shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to take
reasonable legal action to enforce such Collaboration Patent and defend any declaratory judgment
action relating to such infringement, at its sole cost and expense. If, within six (6) months
following receipt of notice from Array of such infringement, InterMune fails to take such action to
halt a commercially significant infringement of a patent filed pursuant to Section 8.2.1, Array
shall, in its sole discretion, have the right, at its sole expense, to take such action; provided
that if such Collaboration Patent is solely owned by InterMune, Array’s action shall be limited to
the prevention of infringing activities with products that are competitive with Products then being
commercialized by InterMune (the “Back-Up Right”). Prior to the Back-Up Right becoming effective
for a given Collaboration Patent, Array shall not notify any Third Party of their alleged
infringement of that Collaboration Patent without InterMune’s advance written consent. The
foregoing in this Section 8.3.2 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the enforcement of Primary
Preparatory Patents (as defined in Section 8.2.2), except to the extent that Array cannot grant
InterMune preparation, filing, prosecution and/or maintenance rights due to rights granted to a
Third Party by Array with regard to any Primary Preparatory Patent prior to the Effective Date. In
addition, the foregoing regarding the Back-Up Right shall apply mutatis mutandis to permit
InterMune to enforce Preparatory Patents that are not Primary Preparatory Patents in the same
manner and subject to the same limitations as Array’s Back-Up Right with respect to Collaboration
Patents, including without limitation the requirement not to notify infringers until the Back-Up
Right becomes effective.
8.3.3 Cooperation; Costs and Recoveries. Each Party agrees to render such reasonable
assistance as the enforcing Party may request, at the enforcing Party’s expense. Amounts recovered
from enforcing a Collaboration Patent or Preparatory Patent, whether as payment in settlement or
otherwise, shall first be used to reimburse the Parties for their expenses in enforcing the patent
(including attorneys’ and experts’ fees), with the remainder, if any, to be divided as follows:
(a) if InterMune prosecuted the action, then (i) Array shall be paid an amount equal to (x)
the proportion that the royalties that would have been due upon sales of the infringing product if
the infringing sales had been Net Sales of a Product sold by InterMune bear
[ * ] = Certain information on this page has been redacted and filed separately with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted
portions.
17
to the total recovery multiplied by (y) such remaining recovery, and (ii) the remaining
portion of such remaining recovery shall be paid to InterMune; and
(b) if Array prosecuted the action, then Array shall be paid twice the amount it would have
received under (a) had InterMune prosecuted the action, and InterMune shall be paid the remaining
portion of such remaining recovery.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the patent that was enforced was a Preparatory Patent other
than a Primary Preparatory Patent (as defined in Section 8.2.2), the action was prosecuted by
Array, and the enforcement action extended to infringing activities competitive with Array’s or
Array’s other licensees’ products, then the recovery shall be split between (i) an amount to be
shared between Array and its other licensees as they may agree amongst themselves, and (ii) an
amount to be shared between Array and InterMune in accordance with 8.3.3(b). The division between
(i) and (ii) shall be made based on the extent to which the infringement was competitive with
Array’s and its other licensees’ products, relative to the extent to which it was competitive with
Products.
ARTICLE 9
CONFIDENTIALITY
CONFIDENTIALITY
9.1 Confidential Information. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
Parties agree that, for [ * ], the receiving Party shall not, except as expressly provided in this
Article 9, disclose to any Third Party or use for any purpose any Confidential Information
furnished to it by the disclosing Party hereto pursuant to this Agreement, or any results of the
Research Collaboration (“Results”). For purposes of this Article 9, “Confidential Information”
shall mean any information, which if disclosed in tangible form is marked “confidential” or with
other similar designation to indicate its confidential or proprietary nature, or, if disclosed
orally, is indicated orally to be confidential or proprietary at the time of such disclosure and is
confirmed in writing as confidential or proprietary within forty-five (45) days after such
disclosure. The Results to the extent relating to Hit Compounds and/or Lead Compounds shall be
deemed to be the Confidential Information of InterMune. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Confidential Information shall not include any information that can be established by the receiving
Party by competent proof that such information:
(a) was already known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure;
(b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time
of its disclosure to the receiving Party;
(c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its
disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the receiving Party in breach of this
Agreement;
(d) was independently developed by the receiving Party as demonstrated by documented written
evidence prepared contemporaneously with such independent development; or

18
(e) was disclosed to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality,
by a Third Party who had no obligation to the disclosing Party not to disclose such information to
others.
9.2 Permitted Use and Disclosures. Each Party hereto may use or disclose Confidential
Information disclosed to it by the other Party or Results to the extent such use or disclosure is
reasonably necessary and permitted in the exercise of the rights granted hereunder in filing or
prosecuting patent applications, prosecuting or defending litigation, complying with applicable
governmental laws, regulations or court order or otherwise submitting information to tax or other
governmental authorities, conducting clinical trials, or making a permitted sublicense or otherwise
exercising license rights expressly granted by the other Party to it pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement; provided that if a Party is required to make any such disclosure, other than pursuant to
a confidentiality agreement, it will give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such
disclosure and, save to the extent inappropriate in the case of patent applications, will use its
reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information in consultation with the
other Party prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise) and disclose
only the minimum necessary to comply with such requirements.
9.3 Termination of Prior Agreement. This Agreement supersedes the Confidentiality
Agreement between the Parties dated June 6, 2002. All information exchanged between the Parties
under that the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information hereunder and
shall be subject to the terms of this Article 9.
9.4 Nondisclosure of Terms. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that it and its
Affiliates shall not to disclose the material terms of this Agreement to any Third Party without
the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, except to such Party’s attorneys, advisors, investors and others on a need to know basis
under circumstances that reasonably ensure the confidentiality thereof, or to the extent required
by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall agree upon a press release and timing to
announce the execution of this Agreement, together with a corresponding Q&A outline for use in
responding to inquiries about the Agreement. Thereafter, Array and InterMune may each disclose to
Third Parties the information contained in such press release and Q&A without the need for further
approval by the other. In addition, InterMune and Array may make public statements regarding the
progress of the Research Collaboration and the achievement of milestones and fees with respect
thereto, following consultation and mutual agreement, the consent of neither Party to be
unreasonably withheld, subject to Section 9.5 as regards the results of the Research Collaboration.
Advance review and consultation shall not be required to repeat information contained in a press
release that had itself been the subject of such procedures. Either Party may disclose the terms
of this Agreement to potential investors (other than investors through the public markets) who are
bound in writing by obligations of non-disclosure and non-use of the terms of this Agreement at
least as stringent as those contained in this Article 9. The Parties acknowledge that either or
both of the Parties may be obligated to file a copy of this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and each Party shall be entitled to make such a required filing,
provided that it requests confidential treatment of the more sensitive terms hereof to the extent
such confidential treatment is reasonably available to the filing Party under the circumstances
then prevailing. In the event of any such filing, the filing Party will provide the non-filing
Party with an advance copy of the Agreement marked to

show provisions for which the filing Party intends to seek confidential treatment and shall
obtain such other Party’s written consent to the set of provisions for which the filing Party will
initially seek confidential treatment, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
9.5 Publication. Reasonably in advance of any oral or written presentation, or
written submission for publication of any manuscript, that would disclose any patentable invention
conceived or reduced to practice by Array (solely or jointly with InterMune) pursuant to the
Research Collaboration for which invention a patent application has not been filed in any of the
United States, Japan, with the European Patent Office or pursuant to the Patent Cooperation Treaty,
the Party wishing to make such a publication shall notify the other Party and the Parties will
discuss filing patent applications claiming such intention. In addition, during the Agreement
Term, Array shall not make any oral or written presentation, or written submission for publication,
of any data or information produced pursuant to the Research Collaboration or otherwise relating to
Collaboration Products developed or commercialized by InterMune, its Affiliates or Sublicensees
without InterMune’s advance written consent, which InterMune shall be entitled to withhold in
InterMune’s sole discretion. Any publication of the results of the Research Collaboration shall
include an acknowledgment of the contributions of each Party, to the extent consistent with
customary scientific norms.

ARTICLE 11
INDEMNIFICATION
INDEMNIFICATION
11.1 InterMune. InterMune agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Array and its
Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and their respective
successors, heirs and assigns (the “Array Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any losses,
costs, damages, liabilities or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ and professional fees and
other expenses of litigation) (collectively, “Liabilities”) arising, directly or indirectly out of
or in connection with Third-Party claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments, relating to (i) the
development manufacture, use, sale or other distribution by or on behalf of InterMune, its
Affiliates or Sublicensees or other designees of any Hit Compounds, Lead Compounds and Products
(including, without limitation, product liability and patent infringement claims), (ii) InterMune’s
conduct of the Research Collaboration; and/or (iii) any breach by InterMune of the representations,
warranties and covenants made in Article 10 of this Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent
such Liabilities result from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Array or are subject
to indemnification by Array under Section 11.2.
11.2 Array. Array agrees to indemnify, defend and hold InterMune and its Affiliates
and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and their respective heirs and assigns
(the “InterMune Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any Liabilities arising, directly or
indirectly out of or in connection with Third Party claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments,
relating to (i) Array’s conduct of the Research Collaboration, and/or (ii) any breach by Array of
its representations, warranties and covenants made in Article 10 of this Agreement, except, in each
case, to the extent such Liabilities result from the negligence or intentional misconduct of
InterMune or are subject to indemnification by InterMune under Section 11.1.
11.3 Indemnification Procedure. A Party that intends to claim indemnification (the
“Indemnitee”) under this Article 11 shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in
writing of any claim, complaint, suit, proceeding or cause of action with respect to which the
Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification (for purposes of this Section 11.3, each a
“Claim”), and the Indemnitor shall have sole control of the defense and/or settlement thereof;
provided that the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, with counsel
of its own choosing in the defense and/or settlement of such Claim. The indemnification
[ * ] = Certain information on this page has been redacted and filed separately with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted
portions.
21
obligations of the Parties under this Article 11 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent
shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. The failure to deliver written notice to the
Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such Claim, if prejudicial to its
ability to defend such action, shall relieve such Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee
under this Article 11, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor shall not
relieve the Indemnitor of any liability to any Indemnitee otherwise than under this Article 11.
The Indemnitee under this Article 11, and its employees, at the Indemnitor’s request and expense,
shall provide full information and reasonable assistance to Indemnitor and its legal
representatives with respect to such Claims covered by this indemnification. It is understood that
only InterMune may claim indemnity under this Article 11 (on its own behalf or on behalf of a
InterMune Indemnitee), and other InterMune Indemnitees may not directly claim indemnity hereunder.
Likewise, it is understood that only Array may claim indemnity under this Article 11 (on its own
behalf or on behalf of an Array Indemnitee), and other Array Indemnitees may not directly claim
indemnity hereunder. If the Parties cannot agree as to the application of Sections 11.1 and 11.2
to any particular Claim, then each Party may conduct its own defense against same, and each
reserves the right to claim indemnity hereunder from the other Party upon resolution of the
underlying Claim.
ARTICLE 12
TERM AND TERMINATION
TERM AND TERMINATION
12.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall
continue in full force and effect on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis until
InterMune and its Sublicensees have no remaining royalty payment obligations in a country, unless
terminated earlier as provided in Section 4.4 or this Article 12. In accordance with Section
5.4.2, upon expiration of this Agreement with respect to a particular Product in a particular
country, InterMune shall have a fully paid, non-exclusive and perpetual license under the
Collaboration Technology in such country for such Product.
12.2 Termination for Breach. Either Party to this Agreement may terminate the
Research Collaboration and this Agreement in the event the other Party hereto shall have materially
breached this Agreement, and such breach shall have continued for sixty (60) days after written
notice thereof was provided to the breaching Party by the non-breaching Party. Any termination
shall become effective at the end of such sixty (60) day period unless the breaching Party (or any
other Party on its behalf) has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of the
sixty (60) day period (or, in the case of a breach incapable of cure within such period, provided a
written plan to cure such breach as soon as reasonably practicable, together with an undertaking to
carry out such plan); provided, however, in the case of a failure to pay any amount due hereunder,
such default may be the basis of termination thirty (30) days following the date that notice of
such default was provided to the breaching Party; provided that the unpaid amount is not in
dispute. If one Party alleges material breach and the other Party disputes whether such a breach
has occurred, then this Agreement shall not terminate pursuant to this Section 12.2 until and
unless such dispute is resolved and a material breach is determined to have occurred.

12.3 Termination for Insolvency. If voluntary or involuntary proceedings by or
against a Party are instituted in bankruptcy under any insolvency law, or a receiver or custodian
is appointed for such Party, or proceedings are instituted by or against such Party for corporate
reorganization, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of such Party, which proceedings, if
involuntary, shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date of filing, or if
such Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or substantially all of the assets of
such Party are seized or attached and not released within sixty (60) days thereafter, the other
Party may immediately terminate the Research Collaboration and/or this Agreement, effective upon
notice of such termination.
12.4 Permissive Termination. After the first anniversary of the Effective Date,
InterMune shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon [ * ] written notice to Array.
12.5 Effect of Breach or Termination.
12.5.1 Accrued Rights and Obligations. Termination of this Agreement for any reason
shall not release either Party hereto from any liability which, at the time of such termination,
has already accrued to the other Party or which is attributable to a period prior to such
termination nor preclude either Party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder
or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement.
12.5.2 Return of Materials. Upon any termination of this Agreement, InterMune and
Array shall promptly return to the other all Confidential Information (including, without
limitation, all Know-How that is Confidential Information) received from the other Party, except
one copy of which may be retained for archival purposes.
12.5.3 Survival Sections.
Articles 1, 6, 9, 11 and 13 and Section 8.1.2 of this Agreement shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the event of
termination by InterMune under Section 12.2 or 12.3, Sections 4.1, 4.2, 5.3, 5.4
and 8.2.1 shall survive such termination in addition to the above-referenced Articles;
InterMune shall have [ * ] to enforce the Collaboration Patents and Primary Preparatory
Patents (as defined in 8.2.2) licensed to InterMune hereunder against infringing
products that would be competitive with Products; and Article 9 shall survive until
five (5) years after the last payment obligation hereunder expires.

may not assert personal jurisdiction over such Party.
13.2 Waiver. It is agreed that no waiver by either Party hereto of any breach or
default of any of the covenants or agreements herein set forth shall be deemed a waiver as to any
subsequent and/or similar breach or default.
13.3 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by either Party to any Third
Party hereto without the written consent of the other Party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
either Party may assign this Agreement, without such consent, to an entity that acquires all or
substantially all of the business or assets of such Party to which this Agreement pertains, whether
by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale, or otherwise; provided, however, that within thirty
(30) days of such an assignment, the assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and accrue to the benefit any
permitted assignee, and any such assignee shall agree to perform the obligations of the assignor.
13.4 Certain Companies. If any entity having any research or development program
relating to the hepatitis C virus or commercial product relating to
the treatment of hepatitis C virus infections (“Competing Program”) succeeds in interest hereunder to Array (the “Competitor”),
then (a) InterMune shall thereafter not be required to make the reports that would otherwise be
required pursuant to Section 7.2; (b) the entity that was Array immediately prior to such
succession in interest (“Original Array”) shall not disclose any patent-related information
(including without limitation draft filings) received from InterMune pursuant to Section 8.2 to the
Competitor, including without limitation by involvement of Original Array personnel with any
Competing Program; (c) the rights to review and provide comments regarding patent prosecution, to
have such comments considered by InterMune, and the back-up prosecution rights provided for in
Section 8.2.1 may be exercised only by personnel of Original Array not involved in any way with any
Competing Program, and shall not otherwise inure to the Competitor; (d) Original Array shall
maintain sufficient capacity and resources to fulfill its obligations under the Research
Collaboration for the remainder of the Research Term, if any; (e) Original Array shall not disclose
non-public Collaboration Technology to the Competitor for use in research, development or

Collaboration Technology to have any involvement in any Competing Program; and (f) Preparatory
Patents and Preparatory Know-How shall not include any intellectual property or subject matter

hereunder to Array. This Section 13.4 shall not be deemed to limit Article 9.

agency or executive body thereof of any country or community or association of countries. Should
one or more provisions of this Agreement be or become invalid, the Parties hereto shall substitute,

13.12 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall lose any rights hereunder or be liable to

act of terrorism, earthquake, flood, lockout, embargo, governmental acts or orders or restrictions,
failure of suppliers, or any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control
and not caused by the negligence, intentional conduct or misconduct of the non-performing Party and
