Infinity shall deliver to Purdue, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the applicable Royalty Term, reasonably detailed written accountings of Net Sales of Products that are subject to royalty payments due to Purdue for such calendar quarter. Such accountings shall be Confidential
12
Information of Infinity unless otherwise excluded by Section 5.1(b). Such quarterly reports shall indicate (i) gross sales and Net Sales (including reasonable detail for deductions from gross sales to Net Sales) on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, and (ii) the calculation of royalties from such gross sales and Net Sales. When Infinity delivers such accounting to Purdue, Infinity shall also deliver all royalty payments due under Section 4.1 to Purdue for the calendar quarter.
(b) Audits.
(i) Infinity shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records of the latest three (3) years relating to gross sales, Net Sales and all underlying revenue and expense data relating to the calculations of Net Sales and payments required by Section 4.1. For the sole purpose of verifying amounts payable to Purdue, Purdue shall have the right annually, at Purdue’s expense, to retain an independent certified public accountant selected by Purdue and reasonably acceptable to Infinity, to review such records in the location(s) where such records are maintained by Infinity, its Affiliates and Sublicensees upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours. Such representatives shall execute a suitable confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Infinity prior to conducting such audit. Such representatives shall disclose to each of Purdue and Infinity only their conclusions regarding the accuracy of royalty payments and of records related thereto. The right to audit any royalty report shall extend for three (3) years from the end of the calendar year in which the royalty report was delivered. Each royalty report shall be subject only to one such audit. Infinity shall, within thirty (30) days after the Parties’ receipt of the audit report, pay Purdue the amount of any underpayment revealed by such audit together with interest calculated in the manner provided in Section 4.7. If the underpayment is equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the amount that was otherwise due, Purdue shall be entitled to have Infinity reimburse Purdue’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such review. Purdue shall, within thirty (30) days after the Parties’ receipt of the audit report, return to Infinity any overpayment revealed by such audit.
(ii) Infinity shall keep complete and accurate records of its Research and Development Expenses (as defined in the Strategic Alliance Agreement) reimbursable by Purdue in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Strategic Alliance Agreement. For the sole purpose of verifying the Research and Development Funding paid to Infinity pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Strategic Alliance Agreement, Purdue shall have the right annually (after the completion of any annual comparison of Research and Development Funding to actual Research and Development Expenses), at Purdue’s expense, to retain an independent certified public accountant selected by Purdue and reasonably acceptable to Infinity, to review the quarterly reports and backup records in the location(s) where such records are maintained by Infinity or its Affiliates upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours. Such representatives shall execute a suitable confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Infinity prior to conducting such audit. Such representatives shall disclose to each of Purdue and Infinity only their conclusions regarding the accuracy of actual Research and Development Expenses and of records related thereto. The right to audit any Research and Development Expenses shall extend for three (3) years from the end of the calendar year in which the quarterly report relating
13
to such expenses was delivered to Purdue in accordance with Section 2.3(a) of the Strategic Alliance Agreement. Each quarterly report shall be subject only to one such audit under this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement. Infinity shall, within thirty (30) days after the Parties’ receipt of the audit report, pay Purdue the amount of any overpayment revealed by such audit together with interest calculated in the manner provided in Section 4.7. If the overpayment is equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the amount that was otherwise due, Purdue shall be entitled to have Infinity reimburse Purdue’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such review. Infinity shall, within thirty (30) days after the Parties’ receipt of the audit report, pay any such overpayment amount to Purdue. Purdue shall, within thirty (30) days after the Parties’ receipt of the audit report, pay to Infinity any underpayment revealed by such audit.
Section 4.5 Currency Exchange. All payments to Purdue hereunder shall be made in US Dollars. For the purpose of calculating any sums due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than US Dollars), Infinity shall convert any amount expressed in a foreign currency into US Dollar equivalents, calculated using the applicable currency conversion rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, on the last Business Day of the applicable calendar quarter for the calendar quarter in which such sales were made.
Section 4.6 Tax Withholding. Any income or other taxes which Infinity is required by Law to pay or withhold on behalf of Purdue with respect to any payments payable to Purdue under this Agreement shall be deducted from the amount of such payments due, and paid or withheld, as appropriate, by Infinity on behalf of Purdue. Any such tax required by applicable Law to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by, Purdue. Infinity shall furnish Purdue with reasonable evidence of such payment or amount withheld, in electronic or written form, as soon as practicable after such payment is made or such amount is withheld. The Parties will reasonably cooperate in completing and filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable tax laws or under any other applicable Law in connection with the making of any required tax payment or withholding payment, or in connection with any claim to a refund of or credit for any such payment.
Section 4.7 Late Payments. Without limiting any other rights or remedies available to a Party hereunder, if Infinity does not pay any amount due on or before the due date, Infinity shall pay to Purdue interest on any such amounts from and after the date such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the then current “prime rate” in effect published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, plus three (3) percentage points or the maximum applicable legal rate, if less, calculated on the total number of days payment is delinquent.

15
that the Recipient takes all reasonable and lawful actions to obtain confidential treatment for such disclosure and, to the extent possible, to minimize the extent of such disclosure.
(d) Notwithstanding the obligations in Section 5.1(a), a Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party, if such disclosure:
(i) is made to Governmental Authorities or other Regulatory Authorities in order to obtain Patent Rights or to gain or maintain approval (A) to conduct clinical trials with respect to products as provided hereunder or (B) to market products as provided hereunder, but such disclosure may be only to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain such Patent Rights or authorizations;
(ii) is made to its Affiliates, Sublicensees, agents, consultants, or other Third Parties (including Service Providers) for the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of products as provided hereunder or under the FAAH Ex-U.S. Termination Agreement, or in connection with an assignment of this Agreement or under the FAAH Ex-U.S. Termination Agreement, a licensing transaction related to products under this Agreement or under the FAAH Ex-U.S. Termination Agreement or a loan, financing or investment or acquisition, merger, consolidation or similar transaction (or for such Persons to determine their interest in performing such activities), in each case on the condition that any Third Parties to whom such disclosures are made agree to be bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations no less rigorous than those contained in this Agreement; or
(iii) consists entirely of Confidential Information previously approved by the Disclosing Party for disclosure by the Recipient.
Section 5.2 Publicity; Attribution; Terms of this Agreement; Non-Use of Names.
(a) Except as required by judicial order or applicable Law, or in any proceedings pursuant to Section 9.2, or as set forth below, neither Party shall make any public announcement concerning this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Party preparing any such public announcement shall provide the other Party with a draft thereof at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such Party would like to make the public announcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Infinity may issue a press release, in the form attached as Schedule A, within one (1) Business Day after the Effective Date, in connection with any disclosures required by applicable Law, to announce the execution of this Agreement and describe the material financial and operational terms of this Agreement. Except as permitted in this Section 5.2, neither Party shall use the name, trademark, trade name or logo of the other Party or its employees in any publicity or news release relating to this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement or their subject matter, without the prior express written permission of the other Party.
(b) Notwithstanding the terms of this Article V, either Party shall be permitted to disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement to the extent required, in the reasonable opinion of such Party’s legal counsel, to comply with
16
applicable Laws, including the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC or any other Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before disclosing this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement or any of the terms hereof or thereof pursuant to this Section 5.2(b), the Parties will consult with one another on the terms of this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement for which confidential treatment will be sought in making any such disclosure. If a Party wishes to disclose this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement or any of the terms hereof or thereof in accordance with this Section 5.2(b), such Party agrees, at its own expense, to seek confidential treatment of the portions of this Agreement, the Strategic Alliance Agreement or such terms as may be reasonably requested by the other Party; provided, that the disclosing Party shall always be entitled to comply with legal requirements, including the requirements of the SEC.

(d) For purposes of clarity, either Party may issue a press release or public announcement or make such other disclosure if the contents of such press release, public announcement or disclosure has previously been made public other than through a breach of this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement by the issuing Party or its Affiliates.

INDEMNIFICATION, LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
Section 7.1 Indemnification.
(a) Purdue. Purdue shall indemnify and hold harmless Infinity and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Infinity Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, costs, damages, fees or expenses (“Losses”) arising out of (i) any Third Party claims resulting from the breach by Purdue of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any Third Party claims resulting from any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of any Purdue Indemnified Party in performing Purdue’s obligations or exercising Purdue’s rights under this
18
Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement, or (iii) any Third Party claim of personal injury or other product liability resulting from FAAH Products Developed, Manufactured or Commercialized by Purdue or its Affiliates or sublicensees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purdue shall not be responsible for the indemnification of any Infinity Indemnified Party to the extent that the Losses of such Infinity Indemnified Party were caused by: (A) the negligence or willful misconduct of such Infinity Indemnified Party, or (B) any breach by Infinity of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Infinity. Infinity shall indemnify and hold harmless Purdue and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Purdue Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any Losses arising out of (i) any Third Party claims resulting from the breach by Infinity of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any Third Party claims resulting from any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of any Infinity Indemnified Parties or any Sublicensee or Service Provider of Infinity, in performing Infinity’s obligations or exercising Infinity’s rights under this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement, or (iii) any Third Party claim of personal injury or other product liability resulting from FAAH Products Developed, Manufactured or Commercialized by Infinity or its Affiliates or Sublicensees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Infinity shall not be responsible for the indemnification of any Purdue Indemnified Party: (A) to the extent that the Losses of such Purdue Indemnified Party were caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of such Purdue Indemnified Party, or (B) to the extent that the Losses of such Purdue Indemnified Party were caused by any breach by Purdue of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Procedure. A Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.1 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a Third Party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a Third Party (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party claim as provided in this subsection shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice). Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith; provided further, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any one jurisdiction for all Indemnified Parties. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not
19
agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
(d) Allocation. In the event a claim is based partially on an indemnified claim and partially on a non-indemnified claim or based partially on a claim indemnified by one Party and partially on a claim indemnified by the other Party, any payments in connection with such claims shall be apportioned between the Parties in accordance with the degree of cause attributable to each Party.
(e) Mitigation of Damages. Nothing in this Article VII will act to negate any obligation under common law of either Party to mitigate damages with respect to any Third Party claim for which such Party is seeking indemnification from the other Party hereunder.
Section 7.2 Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF ARTICLE V AND EXCEPT FOR THE PARTIES’ INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 7.1, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLE OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, COSTS OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES AND/OR LOST SAVINGS), ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, COSTS OR EXPENSES.
Section 7.3 Insurance. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, with respect to its activities hereunder, in an amount and coverage reasonably appropriate for a company comparable to such Party. Either Party may satisfy its obligations under this Section 7.3 through self-insurance to the same extent. The foregoing coverage shall continue during the Term and for a period of six (6) years thereafter.
ARTICLE VIII
TERM; SURVIVAL
Section 8.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect until the Parties have no further obligations to each other hereunder (the “Term”).
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Governing Law. This Agreement, including the interpretations, performance, enforcement, breach or termination thereof and any remedies relating thereto will be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the internal Laws of the State of
20
New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. The provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the 1974 Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods (the “1974 Convention”), and the Protocol amending the 1974 Convention, done at Vienna April 11, 1980, shall not apply to this Agreement or any subject matter hereof.
Section 9.2 Consent to Jurisdiction. Infinity and Purdue irrevocably submit to the personal non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in New York County, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Infinity and Purdue further agree that service of any process, summons, notice or document hand delivered or sent by registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 9.6 will be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in New York with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Infinity and Purdue irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in New York County, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Section 9.3 Assignment. This Agreement (including any rights or obligations hereunder) may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party, in whole or in part, without the express prior written consent of the other Party, except that (a) Purdue may assign or transfer this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without Infinity’s consent to (i) an Affiliate of Purdue; provided, that, such assignment by Purdue will not relieve Purdue of its obligations to Infinity under this Agreement, (ii) any assignee of all or substantially all of Purdue’s business, or (iii) the successor of the relevant portion of Purdue’s business by reason of merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any similar transaction, and (b) Infinity may assign or transfer this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the consent of Purdue to (i) an Affiliate of Infinity, provided such assignment by Infinity will not relieve Infinity of its obligations to Purdue under this Agreement, (ii) any assignee of all or substantially all of Infinity’s business, or (iii) the successor of the relevant portion of Infinity’s business by reason of merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any similar transaction. Any permitted successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations hereunder will, in a writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. An assignment or transfer by a Party pursuant to this Section 9.3 will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors or assigns. No assignment or transfer will relieve either Party of its responsibility for the performance of any obligation prior to such assignment or transfer. No such assignment or transfer will be valid or effective unless performed in accordance with this Section 9.3. Each Party agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that this Agreement is assigned by either Party in connection with the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the business of such Party or in connection with a merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the non-assigning Party shall not be provided with rights or access to Know-How or intellectual property rights of such assignee or the acquirer of such Party.

Without limitation, this Agreement will not be construed so as to grant employees of either Party in any country any rights against the other Party pursuant to the Laws of such country.

provided, however, that if either Party will have designated a different address by notice to the other Party in accordance with this Section 9.6, then to the last address so designated.
Section 9.7 Force Majeure. Each Party will be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by a Force Majeure Event and the non-performing Party promptly provides written notice to the other Party of such inability and of the period for which such inability is expected to continue. Such excused performance will be continued so long as the condition constituting a Force Majeure Event continues and the non-performing Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Force Majeure Event” means a condition caused by occurrences beyond the reasonable control of the Party affected, including an act of God, an act, pronouncement, war, an act of war, terrorism, insurrection, riot, civil commotion, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, labor strike, lockout, labor disturbance, embargo, fire, earthquake, flood, storm or like catastrophe. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.7 will excuse or suspend the obligation of either Party to make any payment due under this Agreement.
Section 9.8 Relationship of the Parties; Independent Contractors. Except as set forth herein, neither Party will have any responsibility for the hiring, termination or compensation of
23
the other Party’s employees or for any employee benefits of such employee. No employee or representative of a Party will have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement for any sum or in any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other obligation or liability on the other Party without said other Party’s approval or as provided in this Agreement. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Party’s legal relationship to the other Party under this Agreement will be that of independent contractor. This Agreement is not a partnership agreement and nothing in this Agreement will be construed to establish a relationship of partners or joint venturers between the Parties and it is expressly agreed that the relationship between Purdue and Infinity shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture, or agency. Neither Purdue nor Infinity shall have the authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other, without the prior consent of the other Party to do so.
Section 9.9 No Strict Construction. This Agreement shall not be strictly construed against either Party.
Section 9.10 Headings. The captions or headings of the sections or other subdivisions hereof are inserted only as a matter of convenience or for reference and shall have no effect on the meaning of the provisions hereof.
Section 9.11 No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver will be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver, delay or the failure of any Party to enforce or exercise any term, condition or part of this Agreement at any time or in any one or more instances will not be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term, condition or part in any other situation, nor will it forfeit any rights, power or privilege to future enforcement thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all rights and remedies available to a Party, whether under this Agreement or afforded by Law or otherwise, will be cumulative and not in the alternative to any other rights or remedies that may be available to such Party.

INFINITY REGAINS WORLDWIDE RIGHTS TO PI3K, FAAH AND EARLY
DISCOVERY PROGRAMS
– Infinity, Purdue and Mundipharma Conclude Strategic Alliance Restructuring –
– Purdue Pharma L.P. Makes $27.5 Million Equity Investment; Infinity Has Cash Runway
Through Key Data Inflection Points for IPI-145 and Retaspimycin HCl –
– Encouraging Early Data of IPI-145 in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies Informs Trial Expansion –
Cambridge, Mass. – July 18, 2012 – Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: INFI) today announced it has restructured its strategic alliance with Mundipharma International Corporation Limited and Purdue Pharmaceutical Products L.P. by mutual agreement. With this restructuring, Infinity regains worldwide rights for its phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) program, its fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) program and its early discovery programs. IPI-145, the company’s potent, oral inhibitor of PI3K-delta and -gamma, is currently progressing in a Phase 1 trial in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies.
“Regaining worldwide rights to all of our programs, particularly our PI3K program, is an important, value creating development for Infinity,” said Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, president and chief executive officer of Infinity. “Our strategic alliance with Mundipharma and Purdue has been key in building the company, and we are pleased that they will now participate in the value of our PI3K program as a more significant Infinity equity holder, together with our other investors.”

Infinity today announced the expansion of its Xxxxx 0, xxxx-xxxxx, dose-escalation trial of IPI-145 in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This expansion cohort will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of IPI-145 administered at 25 mg twice daily (BID) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma. There have been confirmed investigator assessments of clinical response at the lowest dose levels, including 15 mg BID and less. To date, IPI-145 has been well tolerated and dose-escalation remains ongoing. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IPI-145 has not yet been determined, and additional expansion cohorts are planned once the MTD is reached. Infinity expects to present data from this trial at a medical meeting in the second half of 2012.
In addition, the company plans to initiate a Phase 2 trial of IPI-145 in patients with asthma as well as a Phase 2 trial in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the second half of 2012.
Transaction Terms
Under the terms of the termination agreements with Purdue and Mundipharma, Infinity has reacquired all worldwide development and commercialization rights for its PI3K, FAAH and early discovery programs, and Mundipharma will no longer provide research and development funding to Infinity. Mundipharma and Purdue are entitled to receive royalties on product sales for programs previously included in the strategic alliance, at rates ranging from one to four percent.
Infinity also entered into a stock purchase agreement with Purdue Pharma L.P. (PPLP) under which Infinity will issue and sell 1,896,552 shares of its common stock, at a price of $14.50 per share, for aggregate proceeds to Infinity of $27.5 million. Infinity will also issue 3,520,013 shares of Infinity common stock, at the same price per share, to repay the principal and accrued interest outstanding under the $50 million line of credit made available by PPLP. These equity purchases are subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Upon completion of these equity purchases, PPLP, together with certain associated entities, would hold approximately 28 percent on a combined basis of Infinity’s fully diluted common stock outstanding. In addition, PPLP and the associated entities have agreed to vote any shares held by them in accordance with the voting recommendations put forth by Infinity’s Board of Directors, subject to certain exceptions for shares held by the associated entities prior to entry into the stock purchase agreement with respect to votes on major corporate transactions and charter amendments. Further, Mundipharma’s Board observation rights have terminated.

Additional Pipeline Update: Retaspimycin HCl
Infinity also announced today that its Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of retaspimycin hydrochloride (HCl) in combination with docetaxel in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is enrolling ahead of schedule. Infinity now anticipates completing enrollment in this trial this Fall and expects to report data from the trial in the first half of 2013. Retaspimycin HCl is an intravenously administered, potent and selective heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor.
Financial Guidance
In the absence of additional funding or business development activities and based on Infinity’s current operating plans, the company expects that its current cash and investments, together with proceeds from the planned equity investment of $27.5 million by PPLP, are sufficient to fund its planned operations into the second half of 2013, after data from the current trials of IPI-145 in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies and of retaspimycin hydrochloride plus docetaxel in patients with NSCLC have been obtained. The company expects to provide updated 2012 financial guidance when it reports its second quarter 2012 financial results, currently planned for August 7, 2012.
Conference Call Information
Infinity will host a conference call today, Wednesday, July 18, 2012, at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss the agreement and provide an update on it PI3K program.

For example, there can be no guarantee that any product candidate Infinity is developing will successfully complete necessary preclinical and clinical development phases, that development of any of Infinity’s product candidates will continue, or that positive data seen in any clinical trial will be replicated in a larger patient population or in subsequent trials. Further, there can be no guarantee that any positive developments in Infinity’s product portfolio will result in stock price appreciation. Management’s expectations could also be affected by risks and uncertainties relating to: Infinity’s results of clinical trials and preclinical studies, including subsequent analysis of existing data and new data received from ongoing and future studies; the content and timing of decisions made by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and other regulatory authorities, investigational review boards at clinical trial sites and publication review bodies; Infinity’s ability to enroll patients in its clinical trials; unplanned cash requirements and expenditures, including in connection with business development activities; development of agents by Infinity’s competitors for diseases in which Infinity is currently developing its product candidates; and Infinity’s ability to obtain, maintain and enforce patent and other intellectual property protection for any product candidates it is developing. These and other risks which may impact management’s expectations are described in greater detail under the caption “Risk Factors” included in Infinity’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2012.
