the Product in sufficient detail to enable tracking of such Development Costs, Commercialization
Costs, Operating Income (Loss), Net Sales or Opt Out Net Sales and Sublicense Income and to allow
confirmation of same by the other Party. Each Party shall have the right for a period of three (3)
Calendar Years after such Development Costs and Commercialization Costs, Sublicense Income, Net
Sales, Opt Out Net Sales or Operating Income (Loss) are incurred to appoint at its expense an
independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the other Party to audit the
relevant records of the other Party and its Affiliates to verify that the amounts of such
Development Costs and Commercialization Costs, Operating Income (Loss), Sublicense Income, Opt Out
Net Sales or Net Sales were correctly determined. The audited Party and its Affiliates shall each
make its records available for audit by such independent certified public accountant during regular
business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon thirty (30)
days written notice from the auditing Party, solely to verify that such Development Costs and
Commercialization Costs, Operating Income (Loss), Sublicense Income, Net Sales, or Opt Out Net
Sales were correctly determined. Such audit right shall not be exercised by the auditing Party
more than once in any Calendar Year and no period may be audited more than once. All records made
available for audit shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of the audited Party. The
results of each audit, if any, shall be reported in writing to both Parties promptly (but in no
event later than thirty (30) days) after the audit and shall be binding on both Parties. In the
event there was an error in the amount of Development Costs, Commercialization Costs, or Operating
Income (Loss) reported by the audited Party hereunder, (a) if the amount of such costs or payments
was over reported, the audited Party shall promptly (but in any event no later than thirty (30)
days after the audited Party’s receipt of the report so concluding) make payment to the auditing
Party of the amount required to achieve the appropriate sharing of such costs and (b) if the amount
of
CONFIDENTIAL
29
such costs, or income or loss was under reported, the auditing Party shall promptly (but in
any event no later than thirty (30) days after the auditing Party’s receipt of the report so
concluding) make payment to the audited Party of the amount required to achieve the appropriate
sharing of such costs or income or loss. The auditing Party shall bear the full cost of such audit
unless such audit discloses an under-payment by the audited Party of more than seven and one half
percent (7.5%) of the relevant amount of Development Costs and Commercialization Costs, Operating
Income (Loss), or royalties in any Calendar Year, in which case the audited Party shall reimburse
the auditing Party for all costs incurred by the auditing Party in connection with such audit. If
the discrepancy is an under-payment of royalties to WARATAH, the amount of such underpayment shall
be paid to WARATAH within ten (10) business days of receiving a copy of the audit report. If the
discrepancy is an over-payment of royalties to WARATAH, the amount of such over-payment of
royalties shall be paid to ELAN within ten (10) business days of receiving a copy of the audit
report.
3.9 Product Recalls
In the event that any Regulatory Authority issues or requests a recall or takes similar action
in connection with the Product, or in the event a Party reasonably believes that an event, incident
or circumstance has occurred that may result in the need for a recall, market withdrawal or other
corrective action regarding the Product, such Party shall promptly advise the other Party thereof
by telephone or facsimile. Following such notification, ELAN shall decide and have control of (a)
whether to conduct a recall or market withdrawal (except in the event of a recall or market
withdrawal mandated by a Regulatory Authority, in which case it shall be required in the applicable
country or countries) or to take other corrective action in any country and (b) the manner in which
any such recall, market withdrawal or corrective action shall be conducted; provided that ELAN
shall keep WARATAH regularly informed regarding any such recall, market withdrawal or corrective
action. If WARATAH has not opted out of funding in accordance with Section 3.8.6(b), WARATAH shall
bear that share of the recall, market withdrawal or corrective action expenses that is equal to the
applicable WARATAH Development Percentage. Further, if any amounts have been paid to WARATAH
(including royalty payments, if applicable) as the result of sales of affected Products which have
subsequently become subject to a refund then, to the extent such refunds are actually paid by
CONFIDENTIAL
30
ELAN and in the case of royalty payments, have not been deducted from the gross amount billed
or invoiced under Section 1.54, ELAN shall have the right to offset the amounts previously paid to
WARATAH that are applicable to such refunded Products against future payments to be made by ELAN.
If there are no future payments expected to be made by ELAN, then WARATAH shall pay ELAN such
amounts as were paid to WARATAH with respect to the recalled Product.

5. TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; PUBLICITY; NON-SOLICITATION
5.1 Confidentiality
5.1.1 Confidentiality Obligations. WARATAH and ELAN each recognizes that a Disclosing
Party’s Confidential Information and Proprietary Materials constitute highly valuable assets of
such Disclosing Party. A Receiving Party agrees that, subject to Section 5.1.2, it will not
disclose, and will cause its Affiliates, Sublicensees and Co-promoters not to disclose, any
Confidential Information or Proprietary Materials of the Disclosing Party and it will not use, and
will cause its Affiliates, Sublicensees and Co-Promoters not to use, any Confidential Information
or Proprietary Materials of a Disclosing Party except as expressly permitted hereunder; provided
that such obligations shall apply during the Term and for an additional five (5) years thereafter.
5.1.2 Limited Disclosure. WARATAH and ELAN each agrees that disclosure of its
Confidential Information or any transfer of Proprietary Materials may be made by a Receiving Party
to any employee, consultant or Affiliate of such Receiving Party to enable such Receiving Party to
exercise its rights or to carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided that any
such disclosure or transfer shall only be made to Persons who are bound by written obligations as
described in Section 5.1.3. In addition, WARATAH and ELAN each agrees that the Receiving Party may
disclose its Confidential Information (a) on a need-to-know basis to the Receiving Party’s legal
and financial advisors, (b) as reasonably necessary in connection with an actual or potential (i)
permitted sublicense of such Receiving Party’s rights hereunder, (ii) debt or equity financing of
such Receiving Party or (iii) Change of Control involving such Receiving Party, (c) to any Third
Party that is or may be engaged by such Receiving Party to perform services in connection with the
Development Program, and (d) for any other purpose with the Disclosing Party’s written consent, not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that, (A) in the case of subsections
(b)(i) and (iii) and (c)
CONFIDENTIAL
33
above, the Receiving Party and the applicable Third Party first enter into a Confidentiality
Agreement with terms no less stringent than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement
between the Parties, and (B) in the case of subsections (a) and (b)(ii) above, the Receiving Party
uses good faith efforts to enter into a Confidentiality Agreement with the applicable Third Party
with terms no less stringent than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement between the
Parties. Further each Party agrees that the Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information or Proprietary Materials (A) as reasonably necessary to file, prosecute or
maintain Patent Rights, or to file, prosecute or defend litigation related to Patent Rights in
accordance with this Agreement; (B) as necessary to Develop and Commercialize the Product under
this Agreement; and (C) as required by Applicable Laws; provided, that, in the case of any
disclosure under this clause (C), the Receiving Party shall (1) if practicable, provide the
Disclosing Party with reasonable advance notice of and an opportunity to comment on any such
required disclosure and (2) if requested by the Disclosing Party, cooperate in all reasonable
respects with the Disclosing Party’s efforts to obtain confidential treatment or a protective order
with respect to any such disclosure, at the Disclosing Party’s expense.
5.1.3 Employees and Consultants. WARATAH and ELAN each hereby represents that all of
its employees and consultants, and all of the employees and consultants of its Affiliates, who
participate in the activities of the Collaboration or have access to Confidential Information or
Proprietary Materials of the other Party are or will, prior to their participation or access, be
bound by obligations to maintain such Confidential Information or Proprietary Materials in
confidence and not to use such information except as expressly permitted hereunder. Each Party
agrees to use, and to cause its Affiliates to use, reasonable efforts to enforce such obligations.
5.2 Publicity
The Parties acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement constitute Confidential Information
of each Party and may not be disclosed except as permitted by Section 5.1.2. However,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.1, WARATAH, upon the execution of this
Agreement, may issue a press release with respect to this Agreement, in the form attached as
Schedule 2, and either Party may make subsequent public disclosure of the contents of such
press release without further approval of the other Party. After issuance of such
CONFIDENTIAL
34
press release, except as required by Applicable Laws, neither Party shall issue a press or
news release or make any similar public announcement (it being understood that publication in
scientific journals, presentation at scientific conferences and meetings and the like are intended
to be covered by Section 5.3 and not subject to this Section 5.2) related to the Development
Program without the prior written consent of an authorized representative of the other Party.
5.3 Publications and Presentations
Each Party agrees that, except as required by Applicable Laws, it shall not publish or
present, or permit to be published or presented, the results of or information pertaining to the
Annual Budget or the Development Plan, without the prior review by and approval of an authorized
representative of the other Party. Further, WARATAH shall not publish or present, or allow to be
published or presented any information pertaining to (a) Development of the Product or (b) any
Commercialization activities, without the prior review by and approval of an authorized
representative of ELAN. ELAN shall be free to publish and present results of Development,
including details regarding the Product, in accordance with the remainder of this Section 5.3.
The Parties acknowledge that scientific publications and public presentations must be strictly
monitored to prevent any adverse effect from premature publication or dissemination of results of
the activities hereunder, including adverse effects on patentability. Accordingly, each Party
shall provide to the other Party the opportunity to review each of the submitting Party’s proposed
abstracts, manuscripts or public presentations (including, without limitation, information to be
presented verbally to the public) (collectively “Publications”) that relate to the Product or to
the Development Program at least thirty (30) days prior to its intended public presentation or
submission for publication, and such submitting Party agrees, upon written request from the other
Party given within such thirty (30) day period, not to submit or present such Publication until the
other Party is given up to sixty (60) days from the date of such written request to seek
appropriate patent protection for any material in such intended publication or public presentation
that it reasonably believes may be patentable. If ELAN makes a reasonable showing why such
Publication may adversely affect patent prosecution or patent procurement strategies which can not
be cured by filing a patent application to cover the disclosure, WARATAH agrees to remove the
interfering portion from its Publication, or if redaction is not possible, not to publish or
present the Publication. Further, WARATAH agrees to provide AZD-
CONFIDENTIAL
35
103 and Derivatives and WARATAH Technology to academic researchers or collaborators under
material transfer agreements or confidentiality agreements that provide WARATAH with the right to
review potential Publications concerning AZD-103 and Derivatives and to exercise the protections
provided for in this Section 5.3 or such other protections agreed to by the Parties. Once such
abstracts, manuscripts or presentations have been reviewed and approved by each Party, the same
abstracts, manuscripts or presentations, respectively, do not have to be provided again to the
other Party for review for a later submission for publication. Each Party also shall have the
right to require that any of its Confidential Information that is disclosed in any such proposed
publication or public presentation be deleted prior to such publication or presentation. In any
permitted publication or public presentation by a Party, the other Party’s contribution shall be
duly recognized, and co-authorship shall be determined in accordance with customary scientific
standards.

Section 12.3. All costs, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, relating to such legal
proceedings or other action shall be borne by ELAN. If ELAN does not take commercially reasonable
steps to xxxxx the Infringement of such Patent Rights within one hundred eighty (180) days from any
Infringement Notice (or twenty (20) days in the case of an Infringement resulting from an ANDA
patent certification), then WARATAH shall have the right and option to do so at its expense.
(c) Cooperation by the Parties. In any action, suit or proceeding instituted under
this Section 8.2.1, the Parties shall cooperate with and assist each other in all reasonable
respects. Upon the reasonable request of the Party instituting such action, suit or proceeding,

expenses); and (ii) second to the extent that the recovery exceeds the total of item (i), the
excess shall be subject to sharing in proportion to the WARATAH Development Percentage if WARATAH
has not opted out in accordance with Section 3.8.6(b), or if WARATAH has opted out in accordance
with Section 3.8.6(b), the excess shall be deemed “Opt Out Net Sales” for which ELAN shall pay
WARATAH a royalty under Section 3.8.6(b), provided that in the event that the recovery shall be in
the form of reasonable
CONFIDENTIAL

Development or Commercialization of the Product infringes a Third Party’s patent, the Party
becoming aware of such allegation shall promptly notify the other Party hereof, in writing,
reasonably detailing the claim.
(b) Third Party Suit.
In the event that any action, suit or proceeding is brought against either Party or any Affiliate
or Sublicensee of either Party alleging the infringement of the Patent Rights of a Third Party by
reason of activities conducted pursuant to this Agreement, (A) ELAN shall have the right and
obligation to defend such action, suit or proceeding at its sole expense; (B) WARATAH or any of its
Affiliates or Sublicensees shall have the right to separate counsel at its own expense in any such
action, suit or proceeding and, if such action, suit or proceeding has been brought against WARATAH
or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, WARATAH may elect to defend itself at its sole expense;
and (C) the Parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in any such action,
suit or proceeding. Settlement costs, royalties paid in settlement of any such suit, and the
payment of any damages to the Third Party shall be subject to sharing in proportion to the WARATAH
Development Percentage, if WARATAH has not exercised its right to opt out under Section 3.8.6 (b)
or the applicable royalty rate in Section 3.8.6(b) if (i) WARATAH has exercised its right to opt
out under Section 3.8.6 (b) and (ii) the infringement arises out of WARATAH Technology or actions.
(c) Cooperation in Defense. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in all
reasonable respects in any action, suit or proceeding under this Section 8.2.2. Each Party shall
provide the other Party with prompt written notice of the commencement of any such suit, action or
proceeding, or of any evidence or allegation of infringement of which such Party becomes aware, and
shall promptly furnish the other Party with a copy of each communication relating to the alleged
infringement that is received by such Party. The Party that is a party to the action, suit or
proceeding shall not admit the invalidity of any patent within the Licensed Patent
CONFIDENTIAL
42

in a manner that adversely affects the other Party’s rights under this Agreement, without the
written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned.

enforcement of all Product Trademarks and copyrights created during the Development and
Commercialization at ELAN’s expense; provided that any such expenses incurred with respect to
Product Trademarks and copyrights for the Product shall be treated as Commercialization Costs
subject to the cost-sharing mechanism set forth in Section 3.8.5.
8.4 Third Party Licenses
If either Party believes that there exists an issued Third Party patent in the absence of a
license to which the conduct of the Development or Commercialization of the Product may infringe a
valid claim under such Third Party patent, it shall notify the JEC and the other Party. Subject to
Sections 2.1.4 and 2.1.5, the JEC shall discuss in good faith whether, and on what terms, such
Third Party Patent should be licensed for the purposes of this Agreement.

under bankruptcy laws, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, appoints or suffers
appointment of a receiver or trustee over its business, files a petition under any bankruptcy or

may fully exercise all of their respective rights, remedies and elections afforded by and under the

good faith to resolve such disputed matters. If any disputed matter is not resolved by these
individuals within thirty (30) days after the date of such referral, then either Party may seek any
remedy, at law or in equity, that may be available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any dispute
arises relating to the withholding of ELAN’s consent to sublicense under 9.3.1(f), such dispute
shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures under Sections 12.1 and
12.2.

pursuant to Section 9.2.1:
(a) WARATAH Licenses. All licenses granted to ELAN under Article 6 shall be
terminated upon the effective date of termination; provided, that, if ELAN is then Commercializing
the Product, ELAN shall have the right to dispose of all partially or previously made Product
within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the notice of
termination, subject to the terms of this Agreement, including making any required payments and the
rendering of reports related thereto. Subject to these disposal rights, upon the effective date of

researching, Developing and Commercializing Product (including, but not limited to, the right to
make, use, sell, have sold, offer to sell, distribute for sale, import, have imported, make or have
made Product) in the Territory in the Field. The foregoing license includes the right to grant

sublicenses and co-promotion rights.
(c) ELAN Licenses. The licenses granted by ELAN to WARATAH pursuant to Section
6.2 shall survive and extend to an exclusive right and license solely for Development and
Commercialization of the Product, including the right to sublicense; provided, however, that in
consideration for such license WARATAH shall pay to ELAN (deleted text — percentage) of any Net
Sales (substituting WARATAH for ELAN in such definition) plus (deleted text — percentage) of any
Sublicense Income (substituting WARATAH for ELAN in such definition) provided WARATAH shall not pay
to ELAN greater (nor less) than (deleted text — percentage)of Net Sales plus (deleted text —
percentage)of Sublicense Income for any rights, interests and licenses transferred or granted to
WARATAH in accordance with this Section 9.3.1, with the exception of amounts charged for any

CONFIDENTIAL
45
(d) Confidential Information. Each Party shall promptly return all Confidential
Information and Proprietary Materials of the other Party that are not subject to a continuing
license hereunder; provided that each Party may retain one copy of the Confidential Information of
the other Party in its archives solely for the purpose of establishing the contents thereof and
ensuring compliance with its obligations hereunder;
(e) Regulatory Filings. Upon written notice from WARATAH, ELAN shall, as soon as
reasonably practicable after WARATAH’s request: (i) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to grant to
WARATAH an exclusive, worldwide, non-royalty-bearing license under all Product Trademarks, if any;
(ii) transfer to WARATAH all of its right, title and interest in all Regulatory Filings, Drug
Approval Applications and Regulatory Approvals Controlled by ELAN that are applicable to the
Product; except that ELAN shall retain ownership of any DMF and grant WARATAH an exclusive right of
reference to such DMF to the extent necessary for WARATAH to make Regulatory Filings and to
maintain Regulatory Approvals for the Product; (iii) notify the applicable Regulatory Authorities
and take any other action reasonably necessary to effect such transfer, and in respect to the DMF,
take any action reasonably necessary to (A) meet the requirements of Regulatory Authorities and,
in particular, ELAN shall appropriately maintain the DMF, (B) notify WARATAH of any significant
changes or additions to the DMF, (C) keep WARATAH reasonably informed of correspondence between
ELAN and Regulatory Authorities relating to the DMF in a manner which permits ELAN to maintain
appropriate confidentiality safeguards; and (D) authorize WARATAH to reference the DMF; (iv)
provide WARATAH (at WARATAH’s expense) with copies of all correspondence between ELAN and such
Regulatory Authorities relating to such Regulatory Filings, Drug Approval Applications and
Regulatory Approvals, to the extent Controlled by ELAN provided ELAN shall not be obligated to
provide WARATAH with the DMF and WARATAH shall undertake to protect the confidentiality of ELAN’s
formulation, engineering and manufacturing processes for the Product in its Commercialization
activities and shall not disclose any information from the CMC Section to any Third Party without
the prior written consent of ELAN with the exception of transfers or disclosures to Regulatory
Authorities or in accordance with Section 9.3.1(f) or Section 5.1.2 and, in respect of any such
disclosures to Regulatory Authorities, WARATAH shall (a) pursue a strategy of minimum disclosure of
information relating to the manufacturing process of the Product (the Parties shall discuss the
implementation of this strategy in good faith on a case by
CONFIDENTIAL
46
case basis) and (b) ELAN shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon all
regulatory submissions relating to the manufacturing process of the Product prior to their
submission provided such obligations under (a) and (b) do not materially delay or prejudice
WARATAH’s filings with Regulatory Authorities; (v) unless expressly prohibited by any Regulatory
Authority, endeavor, after full discussion of the facts and circumstances, to transfer control to
WARATAH of all clinical and non-clinical trials of the Product being conducted as of the effective
date of termination by or on behalf of ELAN and continue to conduct such trials, at WARATAH’s sole
expense, for up to six (6) months to enable such transfer to be completed without interruption of
any such trial, to the extent ELAN is not restricted from doing so under its agreements with any
Third Party or by Applicable Law; and (vi) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assign (or cause
its Affiliates to assign) to WARATAH all agreements to which it or any of its Affiliates is a Party
with any Third Party with respect to the conduct of clinical trials for the Product including,
without limitation, agreements with contract research organizations, clinical sites and
investigators, unless such assignment is not allowed under any such agreement or unless such
agreements relate also to products other than the Product (in which case ELAN shall cooperate with
WARATAH in all reasonable respects to secure the consent of such Third Party to such assignment or
an alternative mechanism for transferring ELAN’s rights under such agreement to WARATAH) and (vii)
provide and transfer to WARATAH (at WARATAH’s expense) all information and copies of all reports
and data generated or obtained by ELAN, its Affiliates or Sublicensees (to the extent permitted
under applicable Sublicense Agreements) pursuant to this Agreement that relate to the Product or
its use that have not previously been provided to WARATAH with the exception of information
relating to manufacturing which is to be provided in accordance with Section 9.3.1(f).
(f) Manufacturing. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement,
in the event ELAN terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2.1, ELAN may at its sole option
retain the exclusive right to manufacture or have manufactured WARATAH’s entire requirement of
clinical and/or commercial supplies of Product in the Territory provided ELAN can supply the
Product to meet commercial demand at a competitive price to be negotiated by the Parties during
good faith discussions to finalize, within ninety (90) days of such termination unless otherwise
agreed to by the Parties, a mutually agreeable
manufacturing and supply agreement. In the event ELAN informs WARATAH within ninety
CONFIDENTIAL
47
(90) days
of such termination or such other period provided under a manufacturing and supply agreement
between the Parties, that ELAN does not wish to manufacture the Product, at WARATAH’s request, ELAN
shall grant to WARATAH an exclusive manufacturing license under the applicable ELAN intellectual
property to make the Product in the Territory (the “Manufacturing License”) and shall use such
Commercially Reasonable Efforts (as are necessitated by ELAN retaining the DMF) to assist WARATAH
or a sublicensee of WARATAH in enabling the manufacture of the Product. Subject to ELAN’s prior
written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, WARATAH shall have the right to grant a
sub-license of the Manufacturing License provided that ELAN’s refusal to consent to the grant of
such a sub-license to a Technological Competitor of ELAN shall not be deemed unreasonable. Where
ELAN has granted a Manufacturing License to WARATAH as provided herein, ELAN shall, at WARATAH’s
sole cost and expense; (i) provide WARATAH or a permitted sub-licensee with all information
necessary to give effect to the Manufacturing License and shall provide to WARATAH the
documentation constituting the required material support, practical performance advice, shop
practice, specifications as to materials to be used and control methods and; (ii) assist WARATAH or
a permitted sub-licensee with the training of personnel to the extent which may reasonably be
necessary in relation to the manufacture of Product by WARATAH or a permitted sub-licensee.
(g) Assumption of Third Party Expenses on Termination. If a Third Party agreement
between ELAN and a Third Party, including a Sublicense Agreement or a co-promotion agreement, is
necessary for the Development and Commercialization of the Product, ELAN, if requested by WARATAH,
and to the extent it is permitted to do so under such agreement, shall use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts (which Commercially Reasonable Efforts shall not include the payment or obligation to make
any payment by ELAN) to assign such agreement to WARATAH, provided that WARATAH shall assume
insofar as they relate to the period following the date of such assignment, any and all ELAN
financial and other obligations under such agreement post the termination of this Agreement.
Following the termination of this Agreement ELAN shall not be obligated to make any payment to
Third Parties as the result of actions taken or omitted by WARATAH or WARATAH’s sublicensees or
co-promoters pursuant to an agreement between the Third Parties and WARATAH or WARATAH’s sublicensees or
co-promoters.
CONFIDENTIAL
48
(h) Patent Rights. WARATAH shall assume responsibility for the planning, preparation,
filing, prosecution and maintenance of Licensed Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights. ELAN shall
promptly deliver to WARATAH copies of all files related to the Licensed Patent Rights and Joint
Patent Rights and shall take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary for WARATAH
to assume such responsibility.
9.3.2 Termination by ELAN Pursuant to Section 9.2.2 or 9.2.3. If this Agreement is

Information and Proprietary Materials of the other Party that are not subject to a continuing
license hereunder; provided that each Party may retain one copy of the Confidential Information of
the other Party in its archives solely for the purpose of establishing the contents thereof and
ensuring compliance with its obligations hereunder; and
(c) Obligations to Pay. ELAN’s obligations to pay WARATAH under Section 3.8.6 shall
survive.
9.3.3 Termination by WARATAH Pursuant to Section 9.2.2. If this Agreement is
terminated by WARATAH pursuant to Section 9.2.2, then the provisions of Section 9.3.1 shall apply.
9.3.4 Termination by WARATAH Pursuant to Section 9.2.3. If this Agreement is
terminated by WARATAH pursuant to Section 9.2.3, the provisions of Section 9.3.1 shall apply,
provided, however, that ELAN shall have no obligation to continue to conduct any clinical trials as
provided in Section 9.3.1.
9.3.5 Surviving Provisions. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any
reason shall be without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the Parties provided in Sections
12.3, 12.6, and 12.15 and Articles 5, 9, and 10 (including all other Sections or Articles
referenced in any such Section or Article and including Article 1), all of which shall survive such
termination or expiration; and any other rights or remedies provided at law or equity which
either Party may otherwise have.

This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and any of the terms of this
Agreement may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by each Party or, in the case of
waiver, by the Party or Parties waiving compliance. The delay or failure of either Party at any
time or times to require performance of any provisions shall in no manner affect the rights at a
later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either Party of any condition or of the breach of any
term contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct, or otherwise, in any one or more instances,
shall be deemed to be, or considered as, a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of
the breach of such term or any other term of this Agreement.
12.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries
No Third Party shall have or acquire any rights by reason of this Agreement.
12.12 Purposes and Scope
The Parties hereto understand and agree that this Collaboration is limited to the activities,
rights and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
CONFIDENTIAL
55
construed (a) to create or imply a general partnership between the Parties, (b) to make either
Party the agent of the other for any purpose, (c) to alter, amend, supersede or vitiate any other
arrangements between the Parties with respect to any subject matters not covered hereunder, (d) to
give either Party the right to bind the other, (e) to create any duties or obligations between the

other right other than as expressly set forth herein.
12.13 Assignment and Successors
Neither this Agreement nor any obligation of a Party hereunder may be assigned by either Party
without the consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
except that each Party may assign this Agreement and the rights, obligations and interests of such
Party, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates, to any purchaser of all of its assets or all
of its assets to which this Agreement relates or to any successor corporation resulting from any
merger, consolidation, share exchange or other similar transaction. Any attempted assignment in
violation of this Section 12.13 shall be void and of no effect.
12.14 Force Majeure
Neither ELAN nor WARATAH shall be liable for failure of or delay in performing obligations set
forth in this Agreement, and neither shall be deemed in breach of its obligations, if such failure
or delay is due to a Force Majeure. In event of such Force Majeure, the Party affected shall use
reasonable efforts to cure or overcome the same and resume performance of its obligations
hereunder.
12.15 Interpretation
The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that: (a) each Party and its counsel reviewed and
negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and have contributed to its revision; (b) the
rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are resolved against the drafting Party
shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement; and (c) the terms and provisions of
this Agreement shall be construed fairly as to each Party, regardless of which Party was generally
responsible for the preparation of this Agreement. In addition, unless a context
CONFIDENTIAL
56
otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular shall include the plural and the plural the singular and the
use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders.
12.16 Integration; Severability
This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreements are the entire agreement with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all other agreements and understandings between the Parties
with respect to such subject matter. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid or
is ruled invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction or is deemed unenforceable, it is the
intention of the Parties that the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected. Exhibits A, B
and C and Schedules 1, 2, 3 and 4 attached hereto are incorporated by reference herein.
12.17 Equitable Relief
The Parties acknowledge that under this Agreement each Party holds a complex series of
technology rights and licenses, as well as various Development, Commercialization and related
financial rights and obligations, the breach of which would not be adequately compensated in money
damages alone. The Parties therefore agree that in the event of such breach, each shall be
entitled to seek remedies in the nature of specific grants of licenses or assignments from the
other Party and other forms of specific performance. Further, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, if approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties shall
have the right to obtain injunctive relief for breaches of this Agreement by one Party which have
the potential to cause irreparable injury to the other Party.
12.18 HSR Filing
If ELAN determines in good faith that an HSR Act filing is required with respect to this
Agreement, each Party shall, within thirty (30) days after the execution date of this Agreement (or
such later time as the Parties mutually agree in writing), file with the Federal Trade Commission
and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice in the U.S. and any appropriate
governmental authorities outside the U.S. any filing required of a licensor and licensee under the
HSR Act, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. In such event, this Agreement
shall not take effect unless and until it has been approved by all
CONFIDENTIAL
57
appropriate governmental
authorities, or the period for review by such authorities has lapsed without comment. The Parties
shall cooperate with each other to the extent necessary in the preparation of any such filing.
WARATAH shall be responsible for paying any fees required to
be paid to governmental authorities in connection with its filings as a licensor, ELAN shall
be responsible for paying any fees associated with its filings as a licensee and each Party shall
bear its own expenses, including but not limited to legal fees associated with preparing any such
filing. Neither Party shall be required in connection with any filing under the HSR Act to resort
to or respond to litigation, agree to hold separate or divest any business or assets or otherwise
materially change its business if doing so is a condition of approvals of the transaction
contemplated hereby.
