markets in the Territory. In the normal course of development, any Development Candidate may be
dropped from development for valid scientific or medical reasons provided to Myogen by NIBRI in
writing and may be replaced (at the sole discretion of NIBRI and/or its Affiliates) with one or
more other Development Candidates having a therapeutic action on the same Myogen Target or
Collaboration Target, and such occurrence shall not constitute a failure of due diligence.
3.5. Co-Funding and Co-Promotion Option.
(a) Following the completion of Phase II Clinical Trials with positive results leading
to NIBRI’s reasonable expectation that it will conduct Phase III Clinical Trials
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
17
and generation of relevant reports, NIBRI will provide Myogen with a report containing
all relevant pre-clinical data and all relevant clinical data from the Phase I Clinical
Trials and the Phase II Clinical Trials and a preliminary estimate of anticipated
Co-Promotion Expenses (including sales force details) (the “Co-Promotion Notice”).
In the event that Myogen wishes to co-fund and co-promote such Development Candidate in the
Cardiac Field or, solely to the extent that NIBRI or its Affiliates are no longer pursing a
Development Program with respect to such Development Candidate that was developed from a
Myogen Compound in the Cardiac Field but are pursuing a Development Program with respect to
such Development Candidate in the Expanded Cardiovascular Field, in the Expanded
Cardiovascular Field, either the United States, or the United States and the European
Countries, Myogen shall give NIBRI written notice of the same no later than
[..**..] after its receipt of the Co-Promotion Notice (the “Co-Promotion
Response”). The Co-Promotion Response will specify the level of financial commitment
that Myogen will assume with respect to the co-funding of such Development Candidate and the
co-promotion of such Development Candidate in the United States in the Cardiac Field or the
Expanded Cardiovascular Field, as the case may be (the “Co-Promotion Share”) and
whether Myogen wishes to co-fund and co-promote such Development Candidate in the European
Countries; provided, that Myogen shall be required to commit to fund no less than
[..**..] and no greater than [..**..] of the Development Costs and
Co-Promotion Expenses of such Development Candidate that are attributable to the development
of the Development Candidate in the Cardiac Field or the Expanded Cardiovascular Field, as
the case may be, in the United States and, if applicable, the European Countries.
(b) Along with the Co-Promotion Response, Myogen will provide NIBRI with certification
to NIBRI’s reasonable satisfaction that it has the financial resources to co-fund the
Development Costs and a detailed plan under which Myogen will have the financial resources
to undertake co-promotion of the Drug Products, including the requisite sales force and
sales force infrastructure required to provide its share of the promotional efforts. NIBRI
may require documentary and other evidence that Myogen has, or will have at the appropriate
time, the requisite resources (including personnel) and expertise to perform such
co-promotion, including satisfying the same percentage level of Co-Promotion Expenses and
promotional effort (including sales force details). Each Co-
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
18
Promotion Response shall contain a commitment by Myogen that Myogen will be able to
satisfy its portion of the projected levels of Co-Promotion Expenses and promotional effort,
which may be satisfied initially or partially through use of a contract sales force;
provided, however, that oversight of the contract sales force will be
provided by Myogen sales management personnel. NIBRI may reject the Co-Promotion Response
(and the corresponding co-promotion opportunity with Myogen) only if it has reasonable
grounds based on such information that Myogen will not have such capability at the
appropriate time.
(c) NIBRI and Myogen shall enter into good faith negotiations and will use reasonable
best efforts to conclude a co-funding/co-promotion definitive agreement (the “Definitive
Agreement”). The Definitive Agreement will outline the overall framework for the
co-promotion effort, including roles and responsibilities, total Co-Promotion Expenses
required and Myogen’s co-promotion funding commitment in the United States and, if
applicable, the European Countries that is at a percentage level identical to the
Co-Promotion Share and the European Co-Promotion Share, respectively. The Definitive
Agreement shall reflect, among other things, the following:
(i) Given the expertise of NIBRI and its Affiliates in sales and marketing,
NIBRI shall have sole authority to determine the required budget of the Development
Program and the Co-Promotion Expenses and the total levels of promotional effort
(including sales force details) for such Drug Product, with Myogen’s input taking
into account Myogen’s expertise in the heart failure and cardiovascular market and
its Co-Promotion Share.
(ii) Myogen shall be required under the Definitive Agreement to share a portion
of the Co-Promotion Expenses incurred by both NIBRI and Myogen, taken together, and
to provide the portion of the promotional effort (including sales force details) in
the Cardiac Field or the Expanded Cardiovascular Field, as applicable, equal to the
Co-Promotion Share with respect to the United States, and the European Co-Promotion
Share with respect to the European Countries.
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
19
(iii) Myogen shall be entitled to receive a portion of the Gross Contribution
derived from sales of the relevant Drug Product in the United States equal to the
Co-Promotion Share, and in [..**..], equal to the [..**..]
Co-Promotion Share, and NIBRI’s royalty obligations to Myogen under this Agreement
shall cease with respect to United States and, if applicable, the European
Countries.
(iv) In consideration of the rights granted to Myogen under the Definitive
Agreement, Myogen will be required to pay NIBRI: (A) the Development Costs expended
by NIBRI as of the effective date of the Definitive Agreement that are attributable
to the development of the Development Candidate in the Cardiac Field or the Expanded
Cardiovascular Field, as applicable, in the United States and, if applicable, the
European Countries multiplied by the Co-Promotion Share (the “Expense
Reimbursement”); plus (B) a risk premium equal to the Expense Reimbursement
multiplied by [..**..]. These payments will be made in [..**..]
installments on the effective date of the Definitive Agreement and on
[..**..] the Definitive Agreement, regardless of the status of the
Development Program.
(v) If Myogen is unable to satisfy its co-funding and co-promotion obligations
under the Definitive Agreement, or if Myogen elects to terminate its co-promotion
rights during the term of the Definitive Agreement, then Myogen’s share of the Gross
Contribution will be proportionately reduced taking into account Myogen’s
contribution to the co-funding and, if applicable, the commercialization of the
Drug Product, to be more fully specified in the Definitive Agreement.
(vi) Additional terms and conditions customary in the industry for an agreement
of this type.
(d) In no event shall any portion of Myogen’s co-funding commitment be provided by a
Third Party (not including any funding obtained by Myogen through loans or capital
investment by Third Parties) without the consent of NIBRI.
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
20
(e) Upon exercising its option to co-promote, Myogen will be allowed to appoint up to
[..**..] on NIBRI’s (or its Affiliate’s) International Project Team for the
Development Candidates or Drug Products that are under development by NIBRI hereunder and
will have access to project summaries and other documents provided by NIBRI to other members
of the International Project Team.
ARTICLE IV
Milestone and Royalty Payments
4.1. Milestone Payments.
(a) NIBRI shall make milestone payments to Myogen in accordance with this Section 4.1
with respect to Active Compounds developed as Development Candidates hereunder. Except as
explicitly set forth below, pre-clinical milestone payments shall be payable on only one
Active Compound per Myogen Target or Collaboration Target, and clinical milestones shall be
payable only once on a particular Active Compound, even though that Active Compound may be
subsequently developed for indications other than those for which Regulatory Approval was
initially sought. In the event that an Active Compound fails in development, any milestone
payments previously paid with respect to such Active Compound shall be fully creditable
toward the same milestone due with respect to another Active Compound that acts on the same
Myogen Target or Collaboration Target. NIBRI may deduct from any milestone payments
otherwise due to Myogen under this Article IV the amount of any withholding and similar
taxes required under applicable law to be withheld from such payments and paid to applicable
tax authorities.
(b) The following milestone payments shall be payable within [..**..] of the
relevant developmental event:

4.2. Royalty Payments During the Patent Period. During the Patent Period (as defined in
Section 8.1 hereof), NIBRI shall make the following royalty payments to Myogen on total annual Net
Sales to unaffiliated Third Parties of each Drug Product incorporating an Active Compound that is
developed as a Development Candidate hereunder: [..**..] of Net Sales, plus: (a)
compensation for Third Party royalties owed by Myogen to the University of Texas Southwestern
Medical Center and the University of North Texas Health Sciences Center of up to
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
22
[..**..] of Net Sales; and (b) compensation for Third Party royalties owed by Myogen
to University Licensing and Equity Holdings, Inc. of up to [..**..] of Net Sales, only to
the extent that such royalty obligations are incurred in connection with such Development
Candidate.
4.3. Royalty Payments During a Know-How Period. During a Know-How Period (as defined in
Section 8.1 hereof), and in consideration for NIBRI’s license of the Myogen Know-How related to the
Development Candidate, NIBRI shall pay a [..**..] royalty to Myogen on total annual Net
Sales to unaffiliated Third Parties of each Drug Product incorporating an Active Compound that is
developed as a Development Candidate hereunder; provided, however, that no period
during which a Licensed Patent covers such Active Compound shall be deemed to be a Know-How Period,
in which case no royalty pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be due to Myogen at any time.
Subsequent to the Expiration Date, the license of such Myogen Know-How shall be considered to be
perpetual and fully paid.
4.4. Responsibility for Myogen’s Third Party Royalty Obligations. Myogen shall have sole
responsibility for payment of all its Third Party royalty obligations.
4.5. Reduced Royalty Obligations. The obligation of NIBRI to pay royalties to Myogen under
this Agreement shall be reduced upon the occurrence of the following events:
(a) In the event of Myogen’s material breach of this Agreement, which shall remain
uncured one hundred eighty (180) days after written notice by NIBRI to Myogen of the same,
NIBRI may, at its election, pay [..**..] of the royalties thereafter owed to Myogen
under this Article IV into a third party escrow account to be held pending resolution of the
dispute between NIBRI and Myogen by a court of competent jurisdiction. NIBRI may satisfy
any final, non-appealable judgment awarded by such court from the then-current balance of
the escrow account, and any excess of some or all of the escrow account will be promptly
refunded to Myogen; provided that this Section 4.5(a) will not limit any
compensatory or punitive damages that are recoverable at law or equity by NIBRI for Myogen’s
breach hereof.
(b) In the event that no Live Claim in a particular country exists covering the
Development Candidate NIBRI’s royalty payment obligations under this Agreement in
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
23
such jurisdiction shall be reduced to [..**..] should a Third Party generic
compound enter the market in such particular jurisdiction with respect to a such Development
Candidate.
(c) All Third Party royalties and license fees owed by Myogen to any Myogen licensors
under agreements with such Third Party or Third Parties with respect to a Development
Candidate licensed hereunder shall be Myogen’s responsibility, subject to the provisions of
Section 9.3(b) hereof. In the event that NIBRI or an Affiliate thereof is required to pay
Third Party royalties or license fees in order to practice the License Patents for
applications in the Cardiac Field, NIBRI’s obligation to pay royalties to Myogen shall be
reduced by [..**..] of the amounts actually paid by NIBRI or its Affiliate to such
Third Party; provided, however, that NIBRI’s payment obligation shall in any
case not be reduced more than [..**..] of what otherwise would be owed to Myogen
hereunder.
4.6. Certain Understandings Regarding Royalty Payments. The parties expressly agree that the
royalties and milestones hereunder are in consideration of the use of Myogen Technology to
identify, synthesize, select or find useful the Development Candidate as having a desired
therapeutic effect on any Myogen Target or Collaboration Target. Therefore, notwithstanding any
earlier expiration of the Licensed Patents, the term of payment of royalties hereunder is required
to compensate Myogen from revenues NIBRI or its Affiliates may in the future derive from such use
of the Myogen Technology and for the convenience of accounting.
ARTICLE V
Reporting Obligations
5.1. Development Reports. NIBRI shall prepare and submit to Myogen, on a quarterly
basis, reports which set forth in reasonable detail the progress of the Development Program with
respect to Development Candidates and the results of work performed thereunder during the preceding
quarter.
5.2. Sales Reports and Records. During the term of this Agreement, but only after the First
Commercial Sale of a Drug Product, NIBRI shall deliver to Myogen within forty-
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
24
five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter a written report showing actual Net
Sales of Drug Products by NIBRI, its Affiliates and sublicensees in each country in the Territory
during such calendar quarter. All Net Sales shall be stated in United States dollars, and shall
convert the amounts into United States dollars from the currency in which such amounts are received
by NIBRI using NIBRI’s then-current standard exchange rate methodology applied in its external
reporting for the translation of foreign currency sales into United States dollars. NIBRI will
keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of showing the
derivation of Net Sales and all amounts payable to Myogen under this Agreement. Such books and
records will be kept by NIBRI or an Affiliate of NIBRI for at least three (3) years following the
end of the calendar quarter to which they pertain. Such books and records, or copies thereof, will
be made available at NIBRI’s principal place of business, upon request of Myogen, for inspection
and copying by an independent auditor appointed by Myogen for the purpose of verifying NIBRI’s
sales reports or NIBRI’s compliance in other respects with this Agreement. Such inspections shall
be at the expense of Myogen, unless a variation or error exceeding five percent (5%) of the amount
reported is discovered in the course of any such inspection, whereupon the costs relating thereto
shall be for the account of NIBRI.
ARTICLE VI
Confidentiality
6.1. Undertaking. During the term of this Agreement, each party (a “Receiving
Party”) shall keep confidential, and other than as provided herein shall not use or disclose,
directly or indirectly, any trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information, or any other
knowledge, information, documents or materials, owned, developed or possessed by the other party
(the “Proprietary Party”), whether in tangible or intangible form, the confidentiality of
which such other party takes reasonable measures to protect, including but not limited to
Collaboration Technology.
(a) Each Receiving Party shall take any and all lawful measures to prevent the
unauthorized use and disclosure of such information, and to prevent unauthorized persons or
entities from obtaining or using such information.
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
25
(b) Each Receiving Party further agrees to refrain from directly or indirectly taking
any action that would constitute or facilitate the unauthorized use or disclosure of such
information. Each Receiving Party may disclose such information to its Affiliates and to
its or their respective officers, employees and agents, to authorized licensees and
sublicensees, and to subcontractors in connection with the development or manufacture of
Development Candidate or Drug Products, to the extent necessary to enable such parties to
perform their obligations hereunder or under the applicable license, sublicense or
subcontract, as the case may be; provided, that such officers, employees, agents, licensees,
sublicensees and subcontractors have entered into appropriate confidentiality agreements for
secrecy and non-use of such information which by their terms shall be enforceable by
injunctive relief at the instance of the Proprietary Party.
(c) Each Receiving Party shall be liable for any unauthorized use and disclosure of
such information by its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, employees and agents
and any such sublicensees and subcontractors.
6.2. Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 6.1 hereof shall
not apply to knowledge, information, documents or materials which the Receiving Party can
conclusively establish:
(a) have entered the public domain without the Receiving Party’s breach of any
obligation owed to the Proprietary Party;
(b) have become known to the Receiving Party from a source other than the Proprietary
Party, other than by breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed to the Proprietary
Party;
(c) are independently developed by the Receiving Party without breach of this
Agreement, without reference to or reliance upon knowledge, information, or materials of the
Proprietary Party as established by written records; or
6.3. In addition, a Receiving Party may, notwithstanding the obligations of Section 6.1,
disclose knowledge, information, documents or materials that the Receiving Party can conclusively
establish:
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
26
(a) are permitted to be disclosed by the prior written consent of the Proprietary
Party;
(b) are required to be disclosed by the Receiving Party to comply with applicable laws
or regulations, to defend or prosecute litigation or to comply with governmental
regulations, provided that the Receiving Party provides prior written notice of such
disclosure to the Proprietary Party and takes reasonable and lawful actions to avoid or
minimize the degree of such disclosure.
6.4. Publicity. The timing and content of any press releases or other public communications
relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein will, except as otherwise
required by law, be determined jointly by Myogen and NIBRI.
6.5. Survival. The provisions of this Article VI shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
Patents
7.1. Preparation. NIBRI shall take responsibility and pay for the preparation, filing,
prosecution and maintenance of: (a) any and all Patents in the Territory included in NIBRI
Patents, including without limitation any such patents and patent applications claiming NIBRI
Compounds or NIBRI Improvements under the Collaboration Agreement; (b) subsequent to the
Commencement Date with respect to Development Candidate, any and all Patents covering a Development
Candidate and any uses, formulations and formulation process inventions with respect thereto; and
(c) all Joint Patents. Myogen and NIBRI shall each furnish to the other party copies of
significant documents relevant to any such preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of
Patents covered by subsections (b) and (c) above. Myogen and NIBRI shall cooperate fully in the
preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all Myogen Patents, NIBRI Patents, and Joint
Patents, executing all papers and instruments so as to enable the responsible party to apply for,
to prosecute and to maintain patent applications and patents in its name in any country in the
Territory. The parties acknowledge the importance of maintaining
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
27
the confidentiality of any inventions or other information relating to potential patent claims
prior to the filing of patent applications with respect hereto. NIBRI shall provide Myogen prompt
notice as to any decision to abandon a Myogen Patent or a Joint Patent in a Listed Country.
7.2. Infringement. Each party shall notify the other promptly of any possible infringements,
imitations or unauthorized possession, knowledge or use of the intellectual property embodied in
any of the Development Candidate and Myogen Know-How related to the manufacture or use of a
Development Candidate or Drug Products by Third Parties in any country in the Territory, of which
such party becomes aware. Each party shall promptly furnish the other party with full details of
such infringements, imitations or unauthorized possession, knowledge or use, and shall assist in
preventing any recurrence thereof. NIBRI or its Affiliates shall be initially responsible, at its
expense, for bringing any action on account of any such infringements, imitations or possession,
knowledge or use, and Myogen shall cooperate with NIBRI, as NIBRI may reasonably request, in
connection with any such action. If, within sixty (60) days after receipt by NIBRI of a written
request from Myogen that it bring such an action, NIBRI does not do so, Myogen shall have the
right, at its expense and in its own name or in the name of NIBRI, to do so on behalf of NIBRI, and
NIBRI shall cooperate with Myogen, as Myogen may reasonably request, in connection with such
action, including becoming a party to such suit. Such suit may not be settled by either party
without the other party’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Damages
recovered in any actions referenced hereunder shall be apportioned in accordance with the royalty
schedules contained in this Agreement, after reimbursement to each party of their respective
expenses in prosecuting such actions as provided hereunder.
ARTICLE VIII
Term and Termination
8.1. Term. The patent period with respect to any Development Candidate or Drug Product
incorporating that Development Candidate (each, a “Patent Period”) shall extend in each
country of the Territory until the later of the last to expire of any Licensed Patents in that
country covering the Development Candidate or Drug Product incorporating that Development
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
28
Candidate, the use thereof and/or the Myogen Target or the Collaboration Target on which the
Active Compound for the Development Candidate acts, or in the case of the European Countries, on a
country-by-country basis, the later of: (a) ten (10) years from the date of First Commercial Sale
of the Drug Product in that country; or (b) the last to expire of any Licensed Patents in that
country covering the Development Candidate or Drug Product. The know-how period with respect to
any Development Candidate or Drug Product incorporating that Development Candidate shall extend
after the First Commercial Sale in each country of the Territory for any period or periods not to
exceed five (5) years in the aggregate during which no Live Claim exists covering the Development
Candidate in such country (each a “Know-How Period”). Unless terminated earlier in
accordance with the provisions herein, this Agreement will expire, on a country-by-country basis,
upon the completion of the Patent Period and the Know-How Period (the “Expiration Date”).
8.2. Material Breach by NIBRI. Upon any material breach of the provisions of this Agreement
or of the Collaboration Agreement by NIBRI, which material breach remains uncured by NIBRI one
hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of written notice of the same from Myogen, NIBRI’s
exclusive rights within the Territory shall become non-exclusive, and upon Myogen’s written
request, NIBRI shall thereupon render any reasonably necessary assistance to Myogen or its designee
to exercise Myogen’s rights within the Territory. The foregoing remedy shall not be exclusive, and
Myogen shall retain all other rights and remedies at law or equity for any such breach.
8.3. Termination. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon the bankruptcy or financial
insolvency of the other Party. NIBRI may terminate this Agreement without cause at any time upon
ninety (90) days written notice to Myogen.
8.4. Effect of Termination. Termination of this Agreement for any reason, or expiration of
this Agreement, will terminate all rights and obligations of each of the Parties, and all license
rights granted to NIBRI and its Affiliates will terminate and revert exclusively to Myogen except
as otherwise provided below, and except that such termination or expiration will not affect: (a)
obligations, including the payment of any milestones or royalties, which have accrued as of the
date of termination or expiration; and (b) rights and obligations under the following provisions of
this Agreement, which shall survive termination or expiration of this
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
29
Agreement: Article VI, Sections 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3. Following termination of this Agreement
under Section 8.1 hereof with respect to a particular country, NIBRI shall have a fully paid
license under the Myogen Technology to make, have made, use, sell, have sold and import for sale
Drug Product in that country in the Territory; provided however that NIBRI’s obligation to pay
royalties and milestone payments under Article IV shall continue after any termination of this
Agreement for the time periods specified in Section 8.1. NIBRI covenants that, upon and after
termination of this Agreement for any reason (other than expiration under Section 8.1), NIBRI and
its Affiliates and sublicensees shall not practice any of the Myogen Technology for any purpose
relating to any Development Compound (except as may otherwise expressly be permitted in a separate
agreement still in force between the Parties).
ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous Provisions
9.1. Governing Law, and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Both parties hereto agree
to submit to personal jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and to accept and agree to
venue in that Commonwealth.
9.2. No Warranty. Myogen makes no warranty of any kind whatsoever, either express or implied,
to NIBRI, or any customer of NIBRI, as to the ability of NIBRI to understand and utilize the Myogen
Technology. NIBRI makes no warranty of any kind whatsoever, either express or implied, to Myogen,
or to any customer of Myogen, as to the ability of Myogen to understand and utilize the NIBRI
Technology. NIBRI shall indemnify and shall hold Myogen harmless against and from any and all
claims of Third Parties for damages due to personal injury arising out of the actions of NIBRI, its
Affiliates, agents, employees, sublicensees or subcontractors, including but not limited to claims
arising in connection with the development, manufacturing, assembly, or sale of Development
Candidates and Drug Products by NIBRI. Myogen shall indemnify and hold NIBRI harmless against and
from any and all claims of Third Parties for damages due to personal injury arising out of the
actions of Myogen, its Affiliates, agents, employees, sublicensees or subcontractors pursuant to
this Agreement, including but not
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
30
limited to claims arising in connection with the Development Program in the Cardiac Field or
the Expanded Cardiovascular Field, as applicable. During the term of this Agreement, the Parties
shall keep each other promptly and fully informed and will promptly notify appropriate authorities
in accordance with applicable law, after receipt of information with respect to any serious adverse
event (as defined by the ICH Harmonized Tripartite Guideline on Clinical Safety Data Management),
directly or indirectly attributable to the use or application of Development Candidate or Drug
Product.
9.3. Third Party Actions.
(a) To Myogen’s knowledge, the exercise of the rights by NIBRI hereunder will not
result in the infringement of valid patents of Third Parties. Nevertheless, each party will
promptly notify the other in the event any relevant Third Party patents come to its notice.
Neither party gives a warranty to the other regarding the infringement of Third Party rights
by the development, manufacture, use or sale of the Development Candidate or the practice of
the Myogen Technology or the NIBRI Technology, and gives no indemnity against costs,
damages, expenses or other losses arising out of proceedings brought against the other party
or any other Person by any Third Party. In the event NIBRI is sued for infringement of any
rights of any Third Party in the course of its development, manufacture, marketing and sale
of Development Candidate in the Cardiac Field or its use of Myogen Technology in connection
therewith, Myogen shall extend to NIBRI, at no charge, good faith assistance and support in
defending such action, and may participate in the conduct of the suit at its own expense,
but shall otherwise be under no obligation in respect thereof. Legal expenses and fees
arising from such a legal action shall be paid by NIBRI.
(b) In the event that the development of Development Candidate or the sale of a Drug
Product for indications within the Cardiac Field in any country necessarily involves working
within the scope of a Third Party’s patent, which would otherwise be infringed by the
practice of a Myogen Patent in connection with such development or sale, then Myogen will
use reasonable efforts to obtain required licenses under the Third Party’s patents, under
terms reasonably acceptable to both Myogen and NIBRI, and the terms of Section 4.5(c) hereof
shall apply; provided that neither Myogen nor NIBRI shall
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
31
be required to accept any license which carries a financial obligation which is
materially in excess of the range of financial obligations customarily associated with
comparable non-exclusive licenses. If the terms of a required license under a Third Party
patent do not meet the foregoing requirements and Myogen therefore elects not to assume any
financial obligation, NIBRI may nonetheless elect to obtain the license, to continue sales
of Drug Product in such country and to pay, itself, any amounts due under such license. If
the required license is either unavailable or its terms are unacceptable both to Myogen and
to NIBRI, then NIBRI may elect in its sole discretion to discontinue sales of the Drug
Product in such country or at its sole expense to undertake the defense of a patent
infringement action or the prosecution of a declaratory judgment action with respect to the
Third Party patents.
9.4. Force Majeure. Neither party will be in breach hereof by reason of its delay in the
performance of or failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder, if that delay or failure is
caused by strikes, acts of God or the public enemy, riots, incendiaries, interference by civil or
military authorities, compliance with governmental priorities for materials, or any fault beyond
its control or without its fault or negligence.
9.5. Waiver. Any waiver by either party of the breach of any term or condition of this
Agreement will not be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term
or condition hereof.
9.6. Severability. Should one or more provision of this Agreement be or become invalid, then
the parties hereto shall attempt in good faith to agree upon valid provisions in substitution for
the invalid provisions, which in their economic effect come so close to the invalid provisions that
it can be reasonably assumed that the parties would have accepted this Agreement with those new
provisions. If the parties are unable to agree on such valid provisions, the invalidity of such
one or more provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless not affect the validity of this
Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid provisions are of such essential importance for this
Agreement that it may be reasonably presumed that the parties would not have entered into this
Agreement without the invalid provisions.
[..**..] Confidential Treatment Requested
32
9.7. Government Acts. In the event that any act, regulation, directive, or law of a
government within the Territory, including its departments, agencies or courts, should make
impossible or prohibit, restrain, modify or limit any material act or obligation of NIBRI or Myogen
under this Agreement, the party, if any, not so affected, shall have the right, at its option, to
suspend or terminate this Agreement as to such country, if good faith negotiations between the
parties to make such modifications herein as may be necessary to fairly address the impact thereof,
after a reasonable period of time are not successful in producing mutually acceptable modifications
to this Agreement.
9.8. Government Approvals. NIBRI or its sublicensees will obtain any government approval
required in the Territory to enable this Agreement to become effective, or to enable any payment
hereunder to be made, or any other obligation hereunder to be observed or performed. NIBRI will
keep Myogen informed of progress in obtaining any such government approval, and Myogen will
cooperate with NIBRI in any such efforts.
9.9. Export Controls. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the
export of Development Candidate or Myogen Technology from the United States that may be imposed
upon or related to either party to this Agreement from time to time by the Government of the United
States. Furthermore, NIBRI will not export, directly or indirectly, any Myogen Technology or any
Development Candidate utilizing such Myogen Technology to any countries for which the United States
Government or any agency thereof at the time of export requires an export license or other
governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so (of which NIBRI will
promptly inform Myogen) from the Department of Commerce or other agency of the United States
Government when required by applicable statute or regulation.

(a) to any of its Affiliates; or (b) in connection with the transfer or sale of all or
substantially all of its assets or business or in the event of its merger or consolidation with
another company. Myogen may not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of NIBRI, except,

immediately prior to the transaction hold less than a majority of the capital stock of the
surviving entity after the transaction provided that should NIBRI demonstrate with
reasonable certainty that the proposed assignee is a significant competitor of NIBRI or its
Affiliates and Myogen’s proposed transaction would cause a material adverse effect on the

effect. No assignment shall release either party from responsibility for the performance of any
accrued obligation of such party hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable
against the successor to or any permitted assignees from either of the parties hereto.
9.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in duplicate, each of which shall be
deemed to be original and both of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
9.12. No Agency. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create an agency, joint
venture, amalgamation, partnership or similar relationship between Myogen and NIBRI Notwithstanding
any of the provisions of this Agreement, neither party to this Agreement shall at any time enter
into, incur, or hold itself out to Third Parties as having authority to enter into or incur, on
behalf of the other party, any commitment, expense, or liability whatsoever, and all contracts,
expenses and liabilities in connection with or relating to the obligations of each party under this
Agreement shall be made, paid, and undertaken exclusively by such party on its own behalf and not
as an agent or representative of the other.

this Agreement will be sent to the addresses set out below or to other addresses as may be
designated by one party to the other by notice pursuant hereto, by prepaid certified mail (which
