(a) In the event that Amylin does not receive notification from
the FDA of the FDA's acceptance of an NDA for the injectible form of AC2993
being studied in the Amigo Trials on or prior to December 31, 2005 (the "BID
FILING DEADLINE"), then at Lilly's option for a period of sixty (60) days
following such BID Filing Deadline (the "BID CONVERSION PERIOD") Lilly shall
have the right to convert all or any portion of the BID Milestone Payments paid
to Amylin prior to the BID Filing Deadline (the "BID CONVERSION AMOUNT") into

December 31, 2007 (the "SR FILING DEADLINE"), then at Lilly's option for a
period of sixty (60) days following such SR Filing Deadline (the "SR CONVERSION
PERIOD") Lilly shall have the right to convert all or any portion of the SR

CONVERSION NOTICE"). During the SR Conversion Period, Lilly may exercise its SR
Conversion Right by delivering to Amylin prior to the expiration of the SR
Conversion Period notice of such exercise (a "SR CONVERSION NOTICE"). (The BID
Conversion Notice and the SR Conversion Notice are sometimes referred to herein
together as the "CONVERSION NOTICES," or individually as a "CONVERSION NOTICE."
The BID Conversion Amount and the SR Conversion Amount are sometimes referred to
herein together as the "CONVERSION AMOUNTS," or individually as a "CONVERSION
AMOUNT.")
2.3 CALCULATION OF MILESTONE CONVERSION SHARES. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Lilly may convert the entire applicable Conversion
Amount into shares of Amylin Common Stock (each such instance being hereinafter
referred to as a "Conversion" and collectively as the "Conversions"). The number
of shares of Amylin Common Stock issuable in connection with a Conversion shall
be equal to the quotient of the applicable Conversion Amount divided by the Fair
Market Value (as defined below) of one share of the Company's Common Stock.
3.
2.4 FAIR MARKET VALUE. For purposes of this Milestone Conversion
Agreement, the "FAIR MARKET VALUE" of Amylin's Common Stock shall be determined
as follows:
(a) if Amylin's Common Stock is then traded on a national
securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq Small Cap
Market, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
the average of the closing sales prices for one share of Common Stock on such
exchange or market, as the case may be, for the twenty (20) Business Days
immediately preceding the BID Filing Deadline in the case of the BID Conversion
Amount or the SR Filing Deadline in the case of the SR Conversion Amount;
(b) if Amylin's Common Stock is not traded on a national
securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq Small Cap
Market, but is traded in the over-the-counter market, the fair market value of
one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid
and asked prices reported for the twenty (20) Business Days immediately
preceding the BID Filing Deadline in the case of the BID Conversion Amount or
the SR Filing Deadline in the case of the SR Conversion Amount; and
(c) if Amylin's Common Stock is not traded on any recognized
exchange or market, the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock shall be
determined by Amylin's Board of Directors in good faith, which Board of
Directors shall provide to Lilly a written statement of such Fair Market Value
within fifteen (15) Business Days following any request therefor.
2.5 CONVERSION NOTICE. A Conversion Notice to Amylin under this Section
2 shall be delivered to Amylin pursuant to the notice provisions set forth in
Section 6.7 of this Milestone Conversion Agreement. Each such Conversion Notice
shall state the Conversion Amount applicable to the Conversion, instruct Amylin
to deliver a stock certificate representing the given Milestone Conversion
Shares in the name of Lilly or its designee, and contain a certification by
Lilly that its representations and warranties as set forth in Section 4 of this
Milestone Conversion Agreement are true and correct on and as of the date that
such Conversion Notice is delivered to Amylin.
2.6 DELIVERY OF MILESTONE CONVERSION SHARES. Promptly following a
Conversion in accordance with this Section 2, Lilly, or its designee, shall be
entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Milestone Conversion Shares
applicable to the Conversion determined in accordance with this Section 2. No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued in
connection with a Conversion.
2.7 NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDERS. This Milestone Conversion Agreement does
not entitle Lilly to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of
Amylin prior to the time of any Conversion.
2.8 ELIMINATION OF PERFORMANCE GOAL MILESTONE PAYMENTS CREDIT.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Milestone Conversion Agreement or
the Collaboration Agreement to the contrary, in no event may any Milestone
Payment be subject to both a credit under Section 4.2(b) of the Collaboration
Agreement and conversion into Common Stock under this Milestone Conversion
Agreement.
4.
2.9 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH CONVERSION. The obligation of Amylin to
issue any Milestone Conversion Shares shall be further subject to the
satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent on or before the date
that any Conversion Notice is delivered to Amylin.
(a) The representations and warranties made by Lilly in Section 4
hereof shall be true and correct on and as of the date that a Conversion Notice
is delivered to Amylin with the same force and effect as if they had been made
as of such date.
(b) Lilly shall have performed and complied in all material
respects with all agreements, obligations and conditions in this Milestone
Conversion Agreement, if any, that are required to be performed or complied with
by it on or before the date that any Conversion Notice is delivered to Amylin,
and no material default by Lilly shall exist under the Collaboration Agreement
or any Related Agreement as of the date of such Conversion Notice.
(c) No temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent
injunction or other order preventing the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Milestone Conversion Agreement or under the Collaboration
Agreement shall have been issued by any court of competent jurisdiction and
remain in effect, and there shall not be any Legal Requirement enacted or deemed
applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Milestone Conversion
Agreement or under the Collaboration Agreement that makes consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Milestone Conversion Agreement or under the
Collaboration Agreement or any Related Agreement illegal.
(d) No Person shall have commenced or threatened to commence any
Legal Proceeding challenging or seeking the recovery of a material amount of
Damages in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Milestone
Conversion Agreement or under the Collaboration Agreement or any Related
Agreement.
(e) Amylin shall not be required to obtain stockholder approval of
the issuance of the Milestone Conversion Shares applicable to the given
Conversion in order to comply with Nasdaq Stock Market Marketplace Rules or
similar stockholder voting requirements that may be imposed on Amylin by any
other established stock exchange or national market system on which Amylin's
Common Stock is traded or listed (it being understood that to the extent that
and for so long as any such stockholder approval would be required, Amylin shall
not be obligated to make such Conversion or any other Conversion under this
Milestone Conversion Agreement).
(f) The waiting period applicable to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Milestone Conversion Agreement, including any
Conversion hereunder, or under the Collaboration Agreement under the HSR Act
shall have expired or been terminated.
(g) Lilly shall not be entitled to acquire any shares of Common
Stock hereunder if, as a result of such acquisition, Lilly would beneficially
own more than the lesser of (i) 19.9% of the Common Stock then outstanding or
(ii) such number of shares as would require approval of such acquisition or the
Collaboration Agreement or any of the Related Agreements by Amylin's
stockholders in order to comply with Nasdaq Stock Market Marketplace Rules or
5.
similar stockholder voting requirements that may be imposed on Amylin by any
other established stock exchange or national market system on which Amylin's
Common Stock is traded or listed (it being understood that to the extent that
and for so long as any such stockholder approval would be required, Amylin shall
not be obligated to make such Conversion or any other Conversion under this
Milestone Conversion Agreement). In such case, Lilly shall be entitled to
acquire such number of shares of Common Stock as could be acquired without
exceeding the limitation set forth above. The BID Conversion Period and/or the
SR Conversion Period, as the case may be, shall be automatically extended with
respect to the remainder of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
issuable upon conversion for a period not to exceed one year, and Lilly shall be
entitled, upon written notice to Amylin, to receive the remainder of the shares
at such time as the receipt of such shares would not cause Lilly's ownership to
exceed the limitation described above during such one year period.
SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF AMYLIN
Amylin hereby represents and warrants to Lilly as of the Effective Date that:
3.1 ORGANIZATION, GOOD STANDING AND QUALIFICATION. Amylin is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to
carry on its business. Amylin is duly qualified to transact business as a
corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure so
to qualify would have a material adverse effect upon Amylin's ability to perform
its obligations under this Milestone Conversion Agreement or the validity or
enforceability of, or Lilly's rights and remedies under, this Milestone
Conversion Agreement.
3.2 AUTHORIZATION; DUE EXECUTION. Amylin has the requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into this Milestone Conversion Agreement and to
perform its obligations under the terms of this Milestone Conversion Agreement

officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution
and delivery of this Milestone Conversion Agreement has been taken. This
Milestone Conversion Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by Amylin and, upon due execution and delivery by Lilly of this Milestone
Conversion Agreement, this Milestone Conversion Agreement will be a valid and
binding agreement of Amylin, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or by equitable
principles.
3.3 VALID ISSUANCE OF STOCK. The Milestone Conversion Shares, when
issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of Section 2 hereof for
the consideration and on the terms and conditions set forth herein, will be duly

laws.
3.4 NO DEFAULTS. There exists no default under the provisions of any

the time filed, declared effective or mailed, as the case may be, contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required

none of the SEC Filings currently contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
3.6 GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS. No consent, approval, order or authorization
of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any
federal, state, local or provincial governmental authority on the part of Amylin
is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Milestone Conversion Agreement, except for such approvals or consents
required under the HSR Act and such other notices required or permitted to be
filed with certain state and federal securities commissions after the Effective

Milestone Conversion Agreement does not violate any provision of Amylin's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, each as amended as of the date hereof
(copies of which have been filed with Amylin's SEC Filings), any provision of
any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award to which
Amylin is a party or by which it is bound, or, to Amylin's knowledge, any law,
rule or regulation currently in effect having applicability to Amylin.
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF XXXXX
Xxxxx hereby represents and warrants to Amylin as of the Effective Date that:
4.1 AUTHORIZATION; DUE EXECUTION. Lilly has the requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into this Milestone Conversion Agreement and to
perform its obligations under the terms of this Milestone Conversion Agreement
and, at the time of each Conversion pursuant to Section 2 of this Milestone
Conversion Agreement, will have the requisite corporate power to purchase the
Milestone Conversion Shares. All corporate action on the part of Lilly, its
officers,
7.
directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and
delivery of this Milestone Conversion Agreement have been taken. This Milestone
Conversion Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lilly,
and, upon due execution and delivery by Amylin, this Milestone Conversion
Agreement will be a valid and binding agreement of Lilly, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles.
4.2 PURCHASE ENTIRELY FOR OWN ACCOUNT. This Milestone Conversion
Agreement is made with Lilly in reliance upon Lilly's representation to Amylin,
which by Lilly's execution of this Loan Agreement it hereby confirms, that the
Milestone Conversion Shares, if any, purchased by Lilly will be acquired for
investment for Lilly's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a
view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Lilly has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same. By executing this Milestone Conversion Agreement, Lilly
further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such
person or to any third person, with respect to the Milestone Conversion Shares,
if issued.
4.3 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Lilly has received all the information
that it has requested and that it considers necessary or appropriate for
deciding whether to enter into this Milestone Conversion Agreement and to
exercise its conversion rights under Section 2 of this Milestone Conversion
Agreement to acquire the Milestone Conversion Shares. Lilly further represents
that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Amylin
regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Milestone Conversion
Shares.
4.4 INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. Lilly is an investor in securities of
companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for
itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the investment in the Milestone Conversion Shares, if
issued. Lilly also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose
of acquiring the Milestone Conversion Shares.
4.5 ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Lilly is an "accredited investor" as such term
is defined in Rule 501 of the General Rules and Regulations prescribed by the
SEC pursuant to the Securities Act.
4.6 RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Lilly understands that (a) the Milestone
Conversion Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act by reason of a
specific exemption therefrom, that such securities must be held by it
indefinitely and that the Lilly must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such
investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered
under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; (b) each
certificate representing the Milestone Conversion Shares, if issued, will be
endorsed with the following legends:
(i) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY
8.
NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS THE
COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND
ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED;
(ii) Any legend required to be placed thereon pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement;
(iii) Any legend required to be placed thereon by Amylin's Bylaws or
under applicable state securities laws; and
and (c) Amylin will instruct any transfer agent not to register the
transfer of the Milestone Conversion Shares (or any portion thereof) unless the
conditions specified in the foregoing legends are satisfied, until such time as
a transfer is made, pursuant to the terms of this Milestone Conversion
Agreement, and in compliance with Rule 144 or pursuant to a registration
statement or, if the opinion of counsel referred to above is to the further
effect that such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with
any provisions of the Securities Act or this Milestone Conversion Agreement.
SECTION 5. COVENANTS
Amylin covenants and agrees that, during the term of this Milestone Conversion
Agreement, it will:
5.1 MAINTENANCE OF EXISTENCE AND RIGHTS. Maintain and preserve in full
force and effect its existence and all rights, contracts, licenses, leases,

jurisdiction in which such qualification is material to its business and
operations or ownership of its properties, except where the lapsing of any of
the foregoing would not cause or result in a material adverse effect upon
Amylin's ability to perform its obligations under any of this Milestone
Conversion Agreement or the validity or enforceability of, or Lilly's rights and
remedies under, this Milestone Conversion Agreement.
5.2 GOVERNMENTAL AND OTHER APPROVALS. Apply for, obtain and maintain in
