ARTICLE 2 SCOPE AND STRUCTURE OF THE COLLABORATION
2.1 General. Genzyme and Dyax desire to collaborate in developing
Collaboration Products in the Field and in the Territory, with the initial focus
of the Program to be on the development of a Collaboration Product for the
treatment of HAE. Dyax shall initially be responsible for undertaking the
Development Program as described in the Development Plan. Because the Program is
at an early stage, the Parties intend to defer creating a third party vehicle
for the further development and commercialization of Collaboration Products
until the first Collaboration Product reaches an advanced stage of clinical
development. Accordingly, at a time to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties,
but in no event later than the satisfaction by Dyax of the Initial Funding
Commitment (as defined in Section 4.1), Dyax will form Kallikrein LLC as the
vehicle for a joint venture between Dyax and Genzyme to further develop and
commercialize Collaboration Products in the Field and in the Territory. Dyax
will be the sole initial member of Kallikrein LLC. Immediately following the
formation of Kallikrein LLC, Kallikrein LLC will execute and become a Party to
this Agreement. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Kallikrein LLC, Dyax will transfer and assign one percent (1%) of
its interest to Subsidiary, and Subsidiary will be admitted as a member of
Kallikrein LLC. Immediately thereafter, Dyax will sell and assign to Genzyme a
fifty percent (50%) interest in Kallikrein LLC (subject to adjustment pursuant
to Section 4.2.1 hereof and pursuant to the Operating Agreement) pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement and Article 4 hereof and, upon execution and delivery of the
Operating Agreement, Genzyme will be admitted as a member of Kallikrein LLC.
Kallikrein LLC will then undertake the Development Program for
7
each Collaboration Product, with each of the Parties assuming responsibility for
those portions of the Development Program allocated to it under this Agreement.
Upon completion of the Development Program, the Manufacturing Party or Parties
will manufacture the Collaboration Products on behalf of Kallikrein LLC and
Genzyme will market and sell the Collaboration Products in the Field and in the
Territory as exclusive agent for Kallikrein LLC all on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement or such other terms and conditions as the Parties
may agree upon.
2.2 Exclusive Relationship. Subject to Section 3.2, neither Kallikrein
LLC, Genzyme, Dyax nor any of their respective Affiliates shall independently,
or with a Third Party, conduct research or development activities regarding, or
engage in the manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of, EPI-KAL-2 and any
other protein/peptide product that inhibits the activity of human plasma
kallikrein during the term of this Agreement other than as part of the Program.
In addition, during the two-year period following termination of this Agreement,
neither (a) the breaching Party and its Affiliates in the case of termination
pursuant to Section 13.2.1 hereof, (b) the terminating Party and its Affiliates
in the case of termination pursuant to Section 13.2.2 hereof or (c) the
non-terminating Party and its Affiliates in the case of termination pursuant to
Sections 13.2.3 and 13.2.4 hereof shall independently, or with a Third Party,
conduct research regarding, or engage in the manufacture, marketing, sale or
distribution of, protein/peptide products that inhibit the activity of human
plasma kallikrein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 13.2.2 hereof and the non-terminating Party does
not exercise its option under Section 13.3.2(a) hereof, then the restrictions
set forth in this sentence shall not apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein is intended to restrict Genzyme, Dyax or their respective
Affiliates from conducting research or development activities regarding, or
engaging in the manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of, "small
molecule" drugs (as defined in Section 1.2).

make capital contributions to Kallikrein LLC, monthly in advance, not later than
the fifteenth (15th) day of the prior calendar month, in an aggregate amount
equal to one-third of the Program Costs budgeted to be incurred by Kallikrein
LLC in any then-current Development Plan or Commercialization Plan for the
calendar quarter in which such calendar month occurs, allocated between such
Parties in accordance with the funding responsibility assumed by Genzyme and
Dyax, on behalf of the Dyax Companies, pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2.1 above.
Upon receipt of each such capital contribution from Genzyme or Dyax, as the case
may be, Kallikrein LLC shall promptly pay each of the Parties an amount equal to
that portion of the budgeted Program Costs to which they are respectively
entitled.
4.2.4 Quarterly Statements; Quarterly Reconciliation. Within thirty
(30) days after the end of each of the first three (3) calendar quarters of each
year and within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, each of
Dyax and Genzyme shall provide Kallikrein LLC with a detailed itemization of its
Program Costs actually incurred during the previous quarter. Each of Dyax and
Genzyme shall provide the other Party with estimates of such costs upon the
reasonable request of the other Party prior to the dates such statements are
due. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of the quarterly statement of
actual Program Costs provided by each of Dyax and Genzyme, Dyax, on behalf of
the Dyax Companies, and Genzyme shall each make an additional capital
contribution to Kallikrein LLC in the amount of any actual Program
11
Costs shown thereon and not yet paid for which such Party has assumed funding
responsibility pursuant to Section 4.2 above but only to the extent that such
amount, together with all prior capital contributions to date during such year,
does not exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the total Program Costs
budgeted year-to-date through the end of the quarter to which such statement
relates (except to the extent such excess is approved by the Steering Committee
pursuant to Section 5.1.3 hereof). If the aggregate amount stated to be due from
Kallikrein LLC in such quarterly statements for actual Program Costs is less
than the amount already contributed by the Parties to the capital of Kallikrein
LLC with respect to budgeted Program Costs for such calendar quarter, such
excess shall be credited pro rata against the next successive monthly capital
contribution due from Genzyme or Dyax hereunder.
4.3 Distributions. Distributions shall be made quarterly to each Member
in amounts determined in accordance with the Operating Agreement. Amounts
available for distribution shall be calculated for each calendar quarter after
the date of the first sale of a Collaboration Product following Regulatory
Approval of such Collaboration Product and shall be reported to each of Dyax and
Genzyme within ninety (90) days following the end of each such quarter. All
distributions to the Parties will be accompanied by a report setting forth the
basis for such distribution. Such reports shall be subject to audit rights as

payable as set forth below:
(a) Genzyme shall pay to Dyax an amount of ten dollars ($10)
upon execution of the Purchase Agreement;
(b) Genzyme shall pay to Dyax an amount of ten million dollars
($10,000,000) on the first full approval by the U.S. FDA of an NDA for the use
of a Collaboration Product for any therapeutic indication; and
(c) Genzyme shall pay to Dyax an amount of five million dollars
($5,000,000) on the full approval by the U.S. FDA of each subsequent NDA for the
use of a Collaboration Product for a new indication, up to a maximum of three
(3) such payments.
Each of the aforementioned payments shall be made in United States dollars by
certified or bank check or by wire transfer within thirty (30) days following
the occurrence and confirmation of each event.
4.5 Books of Account; Audit. Genzyme shall keep and maintain proper and
complete books of account, and shall maintain a bank account, on behalf of
Kallikrein LLC. Dyax shall have reasonable access to such books of account and
bank records upon reasonable prior notice to Genzyme. In the event that either
Dyax or Genzyme reasonably deems the Program to be
12
material to Dyax or Genzyme, as the case may be, for financial accounting
purposes, then, upon such Party's request, audited financial statements of
Kallikrein LLC shall be prepared by an independent accounting firm to be
selected by the Steering Committee. Each of Dyax and Genzyme shall keep and
maintain proper and complete records and books of account documenting all
Program Costs incurred by it. Each of Kallikrein LLC, Dyax and Genzyme shall
permit independent accountants retained by the other Parties to have access to
its records and books for the sole purpose of determining the appropriateness of
Program Costs charged by the non-auditing Party hereunder. Such examination
shall be conducted during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice, at
the auditing Party's own expense and no more than once in each calendar year
during the term of this Agreement and once during the three (3) calendar years
following the termination hereof. If such examination reveals that such Program
Costs have been misstated, any adjustment shall be promptly refunded or paid, as
appropriate. The auditing Party shall pay the fees and expenses of the
accountant engaged to perform the audit, unless such audit reveals an overcharge
of ten percent (10%) or more for the period examined, in which case the Party
who received such overpayment shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the auditing Party in the course of making such determination,
including the fees and expenses of the accountant.
4.6 Enforceability of Sections 4.1 and 4.2. The agreements regarding
funding commitments and capital contributions set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2
hereof are by and between, and for the benefit of, Genzyme and Dyax only, and
are not enforceable by Kallikrein LLC or any Third Party.
ARTICLE 5 THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
5.1 Conduct of the Development Program.
5.1.1 General. The Parties each agree to collaborate diligently in
the development of Collaboration Products in the Field and to use commercially
reasonable and diligent efforts to develop, obtain Regulatory Approvals for and
bring to market Collaboration Products in the Field and in the Territory as soon
as practicable, all in accordance with the Development Plan and the
Commercialization Plan for such Collaboration Products. The Parties agree to
execute and substantially perform and to cooperate with each other in carrying
out the Development Plan and the Commercialization Plan for each Collaboration
Product. Neither Dyax nor Genzyme shall be required to undertake activities in
furtherance of the Development Plan or Commercialization Plan in the absence of
funding pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement,
the term "commercially reasonable and diligent efforts" will mean that level of
effort which, consistent with the exercise of prudent scientific and business
judgment, is applied by the Party in question to its other therapeutic products
at a similar stage of development and with similar commercial potential.
5.1.2 Development Plan. Prior to the LLC Formation Date, the

timing and execution of and budget for the major tasks and detailed activities
required to perform the updated Development Plan. Each such updated Development
Plan approved by the Steering Committee shall be signed by an authorized
representative of each of Dyax and Genzyme. The members of the Program
Management Team shall actively consult with one another throughout the term of
the Development Plan so as to adjust the specific work performed under the
Development Plan to conform to evolving developments in technology and the
results of the development work performed. While minor adjustments to the
Development Plan may be made from time to time upon approval of the Program
Management Team, significant changes in the scope or direction of the work and
any changes in funding exceeding one hundred ten percent (110%) of the total
amount budgeted in any calendar year for the Development Program must be
approved by the Steering Committee, in the absence of which approval the most
recently approved Development Plan shall remain in effect.
5.1.4 Execution and Performance. The Development Program shall
allocate among the Parties responsibility for each of the activities described
therein. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to
conduct the activities described in the Development Plan. The Development Plan
shall be supervised by the Program Management Team. The Program Management Team

For purposes of this Article 10, information and data described in
clause (a) or (b) of the preceding paragraph shall be referred to as

disclose Information it is otherwise obligated under this Section not to
disclose to its Affiliates, sublicensees, employees, consultants, outside
contractors and clinical investigators, on a need-to-know basis and on the
condition that such entities or persons agree to keep the Information
confidential for the same time periods and to substantially the same extent as
such Party is required to keep the Information confidential; and a Party or its

authorities to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to obtain
patents or authorizations to conduct clinical trials with and to market
commercially Collaboration Products. The obligation not to disclose Information

patented, published or otherwise becomes publicly known other than by acts of
the Party obligated not to disclose such Information or its Affiliates or
sublicensees in contravention of this Agreement; (ii) can be shown by written

provisions or as otherwise required by law, Dyax and Genzyme each agree not to
disclose any terms or conditions of this Agreement to any Third Party without
the prior consent of the other Party. The Parties agree that all press releases
related to the Program shall be issued jointly by Dyax and Genzyme and that the
Party preparing any such press release shall provide the other Party with a
draft thereof reasonably in advance of disclosure so as to permit the other
Party to review and comment on such press release.

representative of the other Party (the "Reviewing Party") on the Program
Management Team a copy of the proposed written publication at least thirty (30)

ten (10) days, in the case of an abstract of proposed oral disclosures, from
transmission of such proposed disclosures to the Reviewing Party, the Publishing
Party shall be free to proceed with the written publication or the oral

(c) above cannot be otherwise protected without unreasonable expense to the
Reviewing Party, such information shall be omitted from the publication.

the non-breaching Party or its designee is qualified to hold such Regulatory
Approvals or trademarks under the applicable provisions of the Regulatory Scheme
and (B) transferred or assigned to Kallikrein LLC, the non-breaching Party or
its designee, as appropriate, as soon as practicable thereafter; and

PROVIDED that in the event that Dyax is the non-terminating party, it shall also

35
(c) (i) any licenses granted to Article 3 shall be revoked,
(ii) if Kallikrein LLC does not yet exist or is dissolved, any applicable
Regulatory Approvals (other than any Regulatory Approvals filed in the name of

or the non-terminating Party and any trademarks owned or licensed by Kallikrein

be assigned or licensed to the terminating Party and (iii) any Regulatory
Approvals filed and any trademarks registered in the name of an entity other
than Kallikrein LLC or the terminating Party shall be (A) exclusively licensed
to Kallikrein LLC, the terminating Party or any Third Party or Affiliate
designated by such Party until such time as Kallikrein LLC, the terminating
Party or its designee is qualified to hold such Regulatory Approvals or
trademarks under the applicable provisions of the Regulatory Scheme and (B)
transferred or assigned to Kallikrein LLC, the terminating Party or its
designee, as appropriate, as soon as practicable thereafter; and
(d) the terminating Party (the "Offeror") shall, pursuant
to the conditions set forth in this Section 13.3(d), give the other Party
(Genzyme in the case Dyax is terminating or the Dyax Companies in the case
Genzyme is terminating, in either case the "Offeree") at the time of termination
written notice of the Offeror's intention to purchase Offeree's entire interest
in and to (i) the Collaboration Products as of the date of termination and (ii)
if applicable, the Percentage Interest of the net asset value of Kallikrein LLC
as of the date of termination (the "Notice of Offer"). The Notice of Offer shall
state therein the specific price, terms and conditions under which the Offeror
agrees to purchase Offeree's entire interest in and to (i) the Collaboration
Products as of the date of termination and (ii) if applicable, the Percentage
Interest of the net asset value of Kallikrein LLC as of the date of termination;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the purchase price shall be paid in cash,
publicly-traded and registered securities or as the Parties otherwise agree. The
Offeree shall then have ninety (90) days (the "Acceptance Period") from the
receipt of the Notice of Offer to give notice (the "Notice of Acceptance") of
the Offeree's intention to accept the offer of the Offeror and shall sell
Offeree's entire interest in and to (i) the Collaboration Products as of the
date of termination and (ii) if applicable, the Percentage Interest of the net
asset value of Kallikrein LLC as of the date of termination to Offeror for the
price and upon such terms and conditions as set forth in the Notice of Offer. In

within ninety (90) days of the receipt of the Notice of Acceptance by the
Offeror. In the event the Offeree elects not to accept the Offeror's offer to
purchase, by giving the Offeror written notice thereof, or by failing to give
the appropriate Notice of Acceptance within the Acceptance Period, the Offeree
shall thereby automatically be bound to purchase Offeror's entire interest in
and to (i) the Collaboration Products as of the date of termination and (ii) if
applicable, the Percentage Interest of the net asset value of Kallikrein LLC as
of the date of termination for the same price (as adjusted for Percentage
Interest, if necessary) and upon such terms and conditions as specified in the
Notice of Offer. In such event, a closing shall be held within ninety (90) days
of the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Acceptance Period and the date
of receipt of the written rejection, whichever is the first to occur. In
addition to any other remedies provided by this Agreement, in the event the
Offeree rejects the offer contained in the Notice of Offer, but thereafter fails
for any reason to timely close as provided herein above, the Offeree shall, by
such failure to close, be deemed to have accepted the original offer contained
in the Notice of Offer, and shall thereafter sell Offeree's entire interest in
and to (i) the Collaboration Products as of the
36
date of termination and (ii) if applicable, the Percentage Interest of the net
asset value of Kallikrein LLC as of the date of termination to the Offeror
pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Offer. For purposes of Sections 13.3.3
(a)-(c) above, the Party purchasing the other Party's interest in (i) the
Collaboration Products and (ii) if applicable, the Percentage Interest of the
net asset value of Kallikrein LLC shall be deemed to be the terminating Party

sublicenses, under the non-terminating Party's Patent Rights, Technology and

have sold, import and export Collaboration Products in the Field and in the
Territory, and the non-terminating Party shall execute such documents and take
all action as may be necessary or desirable to affect the foregoing; PROVIDED
that such license shall be for the same level of exclusivity as the rights that
had been or would be granted with respect thereto under Section 3.1 hereof; and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that any license granted hereunder shall be subject to the
obligation of the terminating Party to use commercially reasonable and diligent
efforts to develop and market Collaboration Products pursuant to such license;
(b) if applicable, the non-terminating Party shall assign
and transfer all of its interest in Kallikrein LLC to the terminating Party, and
the terminating Party may dissolve Kallikrein LLC in its sole discretion;,
PROVIDED that in the event that Dyax is the non-terminating Party, it shall also
cause Subsidiary to assign and transfer all of its interest in Kallikrein LLC to
Genzyme.
(c) (i) any licenses granted to Article 3 shall be revoked,
(ii) if Kallikrein LLC does not yet exist or is dissolved, any applicable
Regulatory Approvals (other than any Regulatory Approvals filed in the name of
an entity other than Kallikrein LLC or the terminating Party pursuant to Section
5.3 hereof), pre-clinical and clinical data owned or licensed by Kallikrein LLC
or the non-terminating Party and any trademarks owned or licensed by Kallikrein
LLC (other than any trademarks registered in the name of an entity other than
Kallikrein LLC or the terminating Party pursuant to Section 9.1.2 hereof) shall
be assigned or licensed to the terminating Party and (iii) any Regulatory
Approvals filed and any trademarks registered in the name of an entity other

transferred or assigned to Kallikrein LLC, the terminating Party or its
designee, as appropriate, as soon as practicable thereafter; and
(d) the terminating Party shall become obligated to pay to
the non-terminating Party an amount equal to (i) one hundred percent (100%) of
the Fair Value (as defined in Section 13.3.5 below) of the non-terminating
Party's interest in the Collaboration Products as of the date of termination
(or, in the event that Dyax is the non-terminating Party,
37
Genzyme shall pay the Dyax Companies an amount equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Value of the Dyax Companies' aggregate interest in the
Collaboration Products as of the date of termination), plus (ii) if applicable,
the non-terminating Party's Percentage Interest of the net asset value of
Kallikrein LLC as of the date of termination after deduction of net assets
included in the Fair Value of Collaboration Products, plus (iii) interest
thereon at the Base Rate of interest declared from time to time by BankBoston,
N.A. in Boston, Massachusetts from the date of termination to the date payment
is made (the "Bankruptcy Buyout Amount"), payable on the terms and conditions
and in accordance with the schedule of payments set forth in Section 13.3.1(d),
MUTATIS MUTANDIS.
13.3.5 Fair Value. For purposes of this Section 13.3, the "Fair
Value" of a Party's interest in the Collaboration Products shall be the amount
an informed and willing buyer under no compulsion to buy would be willing to pay
and an informed and willing seller under no compulsion to sell would be willing
to accept for all right, title and interest in such Party's interest in the
Collaboration Products, determined as of the date of termination, which
determination shall be made by the mutual agreement of Dyax and Genzyme. In the
event that Dyax and Genzyme are unable to agree upon the Fair Value within one
hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of termination, the Fair Value shall
be determined by an investment banking firm selected by mutual agreement of Dyax
and Genzyme, and the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
engagement of such investment banking firm shall be shared equally by Dyax and
Genzyme.
13.4 Inventory. Upon the termination of this Agreement, if Genzyme does
not obtain a license pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof, Dyax shall have the option
to repurchase Genzyme's inventory of Collaboration Products acquired by Genzyme
pursuant to Article 6 hereof. Within ten (10) days after such termination, Dyax
shall elect in writing to either (a) permit Genzyme to sell off its remaining
inventory of Collaboration Products, PROVIDED that Genzyme shall comply with all
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement restricting such selling
activities as in effect immediately prior to such termination, or (b) repurchase
Genzyme's inventory of Collaboration Products. If Dyax fails to make such an
election, Genzyme shall be permitted to sell-off its remaining inventory of
Collaboration Products in accordance with clause (a) of this Section 13.4. Any
repurchase of Genzyme's inventory of Collaboration Products shall be at the
price as stated in Genzyme's then-current price list, LESS a handling charge to
be reasonably determined by the Parties in good faith.
13.5 Survival of Rights and Duties. No termination of this Agreement
shall eliminate any rights or duties of the Parties accrued prior to such
termination. The provisions of Article 1, Sections 2.2, 3.4, 4.3, 4.5, 9.1.1,
9.1.3, 9.3, 9.5, Article 10, Article 12, Sections 13.2, 13.3, 13.4, 14.1, 14.3,
14.4, 14.8, 14.9, 14.10 and 14.11 hereof shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE 14 MISCELLANEOUS
14.1 Cooperation. If either Dyax or Genzyme (the "Assuming Party")
shall assume the Program rights from the other Party (the "Responsible Party")
in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 hereof, the Responsible Party
shall promptly provide to the Assuming Party (or any Third Party or Affiliate
designated by the Assuming Party) all Technology, Manufacturing
38
Know-How and access to regulatory filings sufficient to allow the Assuming Party
to perform the duties assumed. The Responsible Party shall further use its best
efforts to provide all assistance required by the Assuming Party with respect to
such transfer so as to permit the Assuming Party to begin to perform such duties
as soon as possible to minimize any disruption in the continuity of supply or
marketing of Collaboration Products. If the Responsible Party is the
Manufacturing Party for a Collaboration Product, the Responsible Party shall, at
the option of the Assuming Party, supply such Collaboration Product to the
Assuming Party, at a mutually agreeable price not to exceed the Fully Allocated
Cost of Goods for such Collaboration Product, until the earlier of: (i)
twenty-four (24) months from the effective date of termination and (ii) six (6)
months after the Assuming Party delivers notice to the Responsible Party that
the Assuming Party is able to manufacture such Collaboration Product. In
addition, if upon the date this Agreement is terminated Collaboration Products
are being manufactured in facilities owned or leased by the Responsible Party
(including facilities subleased by Kallikrein LLC from the Responsible Party),
the Responsible Party agrees to lease such facilities to the Assuming Party on
commercially reasonable terms for a period of up to twenty-four (24) months.
14.2 Exchange Controls. All payments due hereunder shall be paid in
United States dollars. If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt
remittance of part or all payments with respect to any country in which
Collaboration Products are sold, payment shall be made through such lawful means
or methods as the Parties may determine in good faith.
14.3 Withholding Taxes. If applicable laws or regulations require that
taxes be withheld from payments made hereunder, the Party paying such taxes will
(a) deduct such taxes, (b) timely pay such taxes to the proper authority and (c)
send written evidence of payment to the Party from whom such taxes were withheld
within sixty (60) days after payment. Each Party will assist the other Party or
Parties in claiming tax refunds, deductions or credits at such other Party's
request and will cooperate to minimize the withholding tax, if available, under
various treaties applicable to any payment made hereunder.
14.4 Interest on Late Payments. Any payments to be made hereunder that
are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement
shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at the Base Rate
of interest declared from time to time by BankBoston, N.A. in Boston,
Massachusetts, calculated on the number of days payment is delinquent.
14.5 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible
to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this
Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this
Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond
the reasonable control of the affected Party, including without limitation fire,
floods, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war is declared or not),
insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor
disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any
governmental authority or the other Party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Party so
affected shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to avoid or
remove such causes of non-performance, and shall continue performance hereunder
with reasonable dispatch wherever such causes are removed. Each Party shall
provide the other Parties with prompt written notice of any delay or failure to
perform that occurs by reason of
39
FORCE MAJEURE. The Parties shall mutually seek a resolution of the delay or the
failure to perform in good faith.
14.6 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise
transferred by any Party without the consent of the other Parties; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that either Dyax or Genzyme may, without such consent, assign its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (a) in connection with a corporate
reorganization, to any member of an affiliated group, all or substantially all
of the equity interest of which is owned and controlled by such Party or its
direct or indirect parent corporation or (b) in connection with a merger,
consolidation or sale of substantially all of such Party's assets to an
unrelated Third Party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such Party's rights and
obligations under this Agreement shall be assumed by its successor in interest
in any such transaction and shall not be transferred separate from all or
substantially all of its other business assets, including without limitation
those business assets that are the subject of this Agreement. Any permitted
assignee shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. Any
purported assignment in violation of this Section 14.6 shall be void.
14.7 Severability. Each Party hereby agrees that it does not intend to
violate any public policy, statutory or common laws, rules, regulations, treaty
or decision of any government agency or executive body thereof of any country or
community or association of countries. Should one or more provisions of this
Agreement be or become invalid, the Parties hereto shall substitute, by mutual
consent, valid provisions for such invalid provisions which valid provisions in
their economic effect are sufficiently similar to the invalid provisions that it
can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have entered into this
Agreement with such valid provisions. In case such valid provisions cannot be
agreed upon, the invalidity of one or several provisions of this Agreement shall
not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid
provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be
reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement
without the invalid provisions.
14.8 Notices. Any consent, notice or report required or permitted to be
given or made under this Agreement by one of the Parties hereto to the other
shall be in writing, delivered personally or by facsimile (and promptly
confirmed by personal delivery or courier), by a next business day delivery

(a) Whenever a Party (the "Claimant") shall decide to institute
arbitration proceedings, it shall give written notice to that effect (the
"Notice of Arbitration") to the other Party (the "Respondent"). The Notice of
Arbitration shall set forth in detail the nature of the Dispute, the facts upon
which the Claimant relies and the issues to be arbitrated (collectively, the
"Arbitration Issues"). Within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of the Notice of
Arbitration, the Respondent shall send the Claimant and the Arbitration Panel a
written Response (the "Response"). The Response shall set forth in detail the
facts upon which the Respondent relies. In addition, the Response shall contain
all counterclaims which the Respondent may have against the Claimant which are
within the Arbitration Issues, whether or not such claims have previously been
identified. If the Response sets forth a counterclaim, the Claimant may, within
fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the Response, deliver to the Respondent and
the Arbitration Panel a rejoinder answering such counterclaim.
(b) Within fifteen (15) days after the later of (i) the
expiration of the period provided in Section 14.10.2(a) above for the
Claimant to deliver a rejoinder or (ii) the completion of any discovery
proceedings authorized by the Arbitration Panel: (A) the Claimant shall send
to the Arbitration Panel a proposed resolution of the Arbitration Issues and
a proposed resolution of any counterclaims set forth in the Response,
including without limitation the amount of monetary damages, if any, or other
relief sought (the "Claimant's Proposal"); and (B) the Respondent shall send
to the Arbitration Panel a proposed resolution of the Arbitration Issues, a
proposed resolution of any counterclaims set forth in the Response and a
proposed resolution of any rejoinder submitted by the Claimant, including
without limitation the amount of monetary damages, if any, or other relief
sought (the "Respondent's Proposal"). Once both the Claimant's Proposal and
the Respondent's Proposal have been submitted, the Arbitration Panel shall
deliver to each Party a copy of the other Party's proposal.
(c) The Arbitration Panel shall issue an opinion with
respect to any Dispute, which opinion shall explicitly accept either the
Claimant's Proposal or the Respondent's Proposal in its entirety (the "Final
Decision"). The Arbitration Panel shall not have the authority to reach a
Final Decision that provides remedies or requires payments other than those
set forth in the Claimant's Proposal or the Respondent's Proposal. The
concurrence of two (2) arbitrators shall be sufficient for the entry of a
Final Decision. The arbitrators shall issue a Final Decision
42
within one (1) month from the later of (i) the last day for submission of
proposals under Section 14.10.2(b) above or (ii) the date of the final hearing
on any Dispute held by the Arbitration Panel. A Final Decision shall be binding
on both Parties.
14.11 Injunctive Relief. The Parties hereby acknowledge that a
breach of their respective obligations under Article 10 hereof may cause
irreparable harm and that the remedy or remedies at law for any such breach
may be inadequate. The Parties hereby agree that, in the event of any such
breach, in addition to all other available remedies hereunder, the non-
breaching Party or Parties shall have the right to obtain equitable relief to
enforce Article 10 hereof.
14.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Operating Agreement
contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof. All express or implied agreements and understandings, either
oral or written, heretofore made are expressly merged in and made a part of
this Agreement, including, but not limited to the Confidential Disclosure
Agreement and modifications thereof dated October 1, 1997. This Agreement may
be amended, or any term hereof modified, only by a written instrument duly
executed by both Parties hereto. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges that
this Agreement is, and the Operating Agreement will be, the result of mutual
negotiation and therefore any ambiguity in their respective terms shall not
be construed against the drafting Party.
14.13 Headings. The captions to the several Articles and Sections
hereof are not a part of this Agreement, but are merely guides or labels to
assist in locating and reading the several Articles and Sections hereof.
14.14 Independent Contractors. It is expressly agreed that Dyax and
Genzyme shall be independent contractors and that, except as Members of
Kallikrein LLC, the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute
a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither Dyax nor Genzyme 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.
14.15 Waiver. Except as expressly provided herein, the waiver by
either Party hereto of any right hereunder or of any failure to perform or
any breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right
hereunder or of any other failure to perform or breach by said other Party,
whether of a similar nature or otherwise, nor shall any singular or partial
exercise of such right preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other such right.
14.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

2

If either Genzyme or Dyax (on behalf of the Dyax Companies)
fails to make all or any portion of a monthly Capital Contribution, the other
Member may elect to make such Contribution (or a portion thereof). If either
Genzyme or Dyax (on behalf of the Dyax Companies) fails to make all or any
portion of a monthly Capital Contribution, the Percentage Interests (as defined
below) shall be adjusted to correspond to the percentage of cumulative Capital
Contributions made by or on behalf of each Member and subsequent monthly Capital
Contributions shall be made by the Members in proportion to their adjusted
Percentage Interests;
(c) No interest shall accrue on any Capital Contributions, and no
Member shall have the right to withdraw or to be repaid any capital it has
contributed, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.
(d) Each Member's percentage interest ("Percentage Interest") is as set
forth in Schedule A hereto, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.1(b)
of this Agreement.
4.2 Capital Accounts. A separate account (a "Capital Account") shall be
maintained for each Member and adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b) as follows:
(a) There shall be credited to each Member's Capital Account the amount
of such Member's Capital Contribution as of the date, and to the extent, that
such Capital Contribution has been paid, and such Member's allocable share of
Net Profits (and any items in the nature of income or gain separately allocated
to such Member); and there shall be charged against each Member's Capital
Account the amount of all distributions to such Member and such Member's
allocable share of Net Losses (and any items in the nature of losses or
deductions separately allocated to such Member). Capital Contributions made by
or on behalf of the Dyax Companies shall be credited to their Capital Accounts
in proportion to their relative Percentage Interests.
(b) If the Company at any time distributes any of its assets in kind to
any Member, the Capital Account of each Member shall be adjusted to account for
that Member's allocable share (as determined under Section 5.1 below) of the Net
Profits or Net Losses that would have been realized by the Company had it sold
the assets that were distributed at their respective fair market values
immediately prior to their distribution.
3
(c) In the event any Member's interest is transferred in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital
Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred interest.
4.3 Loans. The Members shall not make loans to the Company unless the
Members unanimously agree in writing to make such loans.
4.4 Additional Members. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2
below with respect to Substitute Members, additional Members may only be

additional Members shall execute and acknowledge a counterpart to this Agreement

hereof in such manner as the Members shall determine.

capital of the Company other than as provided in this Article 4.
(c) No Member shall be personally liable to the Company or its other
Members for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Member to the
extent permitted by applicable law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this provision shall
not eliminate the liability of a Member (i) for any breach of the Member's duty
of loyalty to the Company or its other Members, (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law or (iii) for any transaction from which the Member derived an improper
personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this Section 4.5(c) shall apply
to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any Member for or
with respect to any acts or omissions of such Member occurring prior to such
amendment or repeal.
4.6 Withdrawal of Members. No Member shall have the right to withdraw
from the Company or to demand a return of its capital interest at any time
except upon termination and dissolution of the Company, unless agreed to by the
unanimous written consent of the other Members.
ARTICLE 5. ALLOCATIONS
5.1 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following
terms shall have the meanings given them in this Article 5:
(a) "Adjusted Capital Account" for a Member means such Member's
Capital Account (i) reduced by the net adjustments,
allocations and distributions described in Treasury Regulation
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) which, as of the
end of the Company's taxable year are reasonably
4
expected to be made to such Member, and (ii) increased by the
sum of (A) the amounts a Member is obligated to restore to its
Capital Account or is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to
the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulation Sections
1.704-2(g)(1) and 2(i)(5), (B) the excess, if any, of such
Member's Capital Contribution over such Member's actual
paid-in capital contribution and (C) that portion of any
indebtedness of the Company (other than "partner nonrecourse
debt" as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4))
with respect to which the Member bears the economic risk of
loss that such indebtedness would not be repaid out of the
assets of the Company if all of the assets of the Company were
sold at their respective book values as of the end of the
fiscal period and the proceeds from the sales together with
any amounts described in clauses (A) and (B) above, were used
to pay the liabilities of the Company.
(b) "Net Profits" and "Net Losses" mean the taxable income or
loss, as the case may be, for a period (or from a transaction)
as determined in accordance with Section 703(a) of the IRC
(for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or
deduction required to be separately stated pursuant to IRC
Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss)
computed with the following adjustments:
(i) To the extent required by (and in the manner
described in) Treasury Regulation 1.704-1(b)(2),
items of gain, loss and deduction shall be
computed based upon the book values of the
Company's assets rather than upon such assets'
adjusted bases for federal income tax purposes (if
different);
(ii) Any tax-exempt income received by the Company
shall be included as an item of gross income;
(iii) The amount of any adjustments to the adjusted
bases (or book values if clause (i) above applies)
of any assets of the Company pursuant to IRC
Section 743 shall not be taken into account; and
(iv) Any expenditure of the Company described or
treated as being described in IRC Section
705(a)(2)(B) shall be treated as a deductible
expense.
(c) "Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions" means any Company
deductions that would be Nonrecourse Deductions if they were
not attributable to a liability owed to or guaranteed by a
Member within the meaning and intent of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i).
(d) "Member Loan Minimum Gain" has the meaning set forth in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3).
5
(e) "Minimum Gain" has the meaning set forth in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-2(d). Minimum Gain shall be computed
separately for each Member in a manner consistent with the
Treasury Regulations under IRC Section 704(b).
(f) "Nonrecourse Deductions" has the meaning set forth in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1). The amount of Nonrecourse
Deductions for a taxable year of the Company shall be
determined according to the provisions of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(c).
(g) "Nonrecourse Liability" means any liability of the Company
with respect to which no Member has personal liability, as
determined in accordance with IRC Section 752 and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder.
5.2 Allocations of Profit and Loss. As of the end of each fiscal year
of the Company, or at the time any allocation is determined to be necessary by
the Members, Net Profits or Net Losses shall be allocated as follows:
(a) Except as provided in Sections 5.2(b) and 5.3 below, any allocation
required by this Section 5.2 to be made to the Members shall be allocated among
the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
(b) With respect to the allocation of Net Losses or Net Profits
pursuant to this Section 5.2 among the Members for any fiscal year in which an
additional or substitute Member is admitted to the Company or there is an
adjustment to the Percentage Interests during such fiscal year, all Net Losses
or Net Profits so allocable shall be allocated in a manner which takes into
account the varying Percentage Interests during such fiscal year based on an
accounting convention chosen by the Members. In no event shall a retroactive
allocation of Net Losses be made pursuant to this Section 5.2.
5.3 Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2
above, the following allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses and items thereof
shall be made:
(a) If, during any year a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment,
allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) and, as a result of such adjustment,
allocation or distribution, such Member's Adjusted Capital Account has a
negative balance (computed with the adjustments set forth in clauses (i) and
(ii) of Section 5.1(a)), then items of gross income for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) shall first be allocated to such Member in the
amount necessary to eliminate such negative balance as quickly as possible. This
Section 5.3(a) is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" provision
within the meaning of the above Treasury Regulations, and shall be so
interpreted.
(b) Nonrecourse Deductions for a taxable year or other period shall be
specially allocated among the Members in proportion to their Percentage
Interests.
6
(c) Any Member Loan Nonrecourse Deduction for any taxable year or other
period shall be specially allocated to the Member or Members who bear the risk
with respect to the loan to which the Member Loan Nonrecourse Deduction is
attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b).
(d) In no event shall Net Losses of the Company be allocated to a
Member if such allocation would cause or increase a negative balance in such
Member's Adjusted Capital Account.
(e) Except as set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(2),
(3) and (4), if, during any taxable year, there is a net decrease in Minimum
Gain, each Member, prior to any other allocation pursuant to this Article 5,
shall be specially allocated items of gross income and gain for such taxable
year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to that
Member's share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain, computed in accordance with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). Allocation of gross income and gain
pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) shall be made first from gain recognized from
the disposition of Company assets subject to non-recourse liabilities (within
the meaning of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under IRC Section 752), to
the extent of the Minimum Gain attributable to those assets, and thereafter,
from a pro rata portion of the Company's other items of income and gain for the
taxable year. It is the intent of the parties hereto that any allocation
pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) shall constitute a "minimum gain chargeback"
under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). With respect to a net decrease in
Member Loan Minimum Gain, items of gross income shall be specially allocated
consistent with the preceding sentence, and Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-2(i)(4).
(f) In the event that Net Profits, Net Losses or items thereof are
allocated to one or more Members pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (d) above,
subsequent Net Profits and Net Losses will first be allocated (subject to the
provisions of paragraphs (a) through (d)) to the Members in a manner designed to
result in each Member having a Capital Account balance equal to what it would
have been had the original allocation of Net Profits, Net Losses or items
thereof pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (d) not occurred.
(g) The respective Percentage Interests in the Net Profits and Net
Losses or items thereof shall remain as set forth above (subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 4.1(b) and Article 5) unless changed by amendment to this
Agreement or by an assignment of an interest in the Company authorized by the
terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, for tax purposes,
all items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated to the
Members in the same manner as are Net Profits and Net Losses; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if, as a result of clause (i) of Section 5.1(b), the book value of any
property of the Company was used in computing Net Profits or Net Losses, then
items of income, gain, deduction or credit related to such property for tax
purposes shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the
variation between the adjusted basis of the property for tax purposes and its
book value in the manner provided for under IRC Section 704(c).
7
(h) If a Member's Percentage Interest is reduced (provided the
reduction does not result in a complete termination of the Member's interest in
the Company), the Member's share of the Company's "unrealized receivables" and
"substantially appreciated inventory" (within the meaning of IRC Section 751)
shall not be reduced, so that, notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement to the contrary, that portion of the Net Profit otherwise allocable
upon a liquidation or dissolution of the Company pursuant to Article 5 hereof
which is taxable as ordinary income (recaptured) for federal income tax purposes
shall, to the extent possible without increasing the total gain to the Company
or to any Member, be specially allocated among the Members in proportion to the
deductions (or basis reductions treated as deductions) giving rise to such
recapture.
(i) In each taxable year of the Company, items of deduction and credit
attributable to Program Costs shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to
the Capital Contributions which funded the applicable expenditure.
ARTICLE 6. DISTRIBUTIONS
6.1 Distribution of Company Funds. The timing of distributions by the
Company (other than distributions in dissolution to which Section 10.3 applies)
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section [4.3] of the
Collaboration Agreement. Such distributions shall be made to the Members first
in proportion to the excess of the positive balances in their Capital Accounts
over the amounts of their Capital Contributions, and then in proportion to their
remaining positive Capital Account balances; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the amount
distributable to the Members pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be reduced by
the amount required to fund the budgeted capital, working capital and reserve
requirements of the Company during the one hundred and eighty (180) day period
following the proposed distribution date and by such other amounts as the
Steering Committee reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate for the
operation of the Company.
ARTICLE 7. INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 Indemnification of Members.
(a) The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, as
amended from time to time, indemnify each Member, each Member's Affiliates, and
the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of each Member and its
Affiliates (collectively, "Indemnified Persons") from and against all expenses
and liabilities (including counsel fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes,
penalties and amounts paid in settlements) reasonably incurred by or imposed
upon an Indemnified Person in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, in which such Indemnified Person may become
involved by reason of (i) any act performed by such Indemnified Person in
connection with the performance of and within the scope of the authority
conferred by the Collaboration Agreement or (ii) such Indemnified Person's
service as a director, officer, manager or member of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or, if such service

was undertaken at the request of the Company, such Indemnified Person's service
as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another
organization.
(b) Indemnification may include payment by the Company of expenses in
defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such
action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to
repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Person
is not entitled to indemnification under this Article 7, which undertaking may
be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Indemnified Person
to make such repayments.
(c) The Company shall not indemnify any Indemnified Person in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless

be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnified Persons may be
entitled under any law, agreement or vote of disinterested Members or otherwise

Article 7.

interests of the Company, (ii) any act which constitutes gross negligence or
wilful misconduct or (iii) any matter disposed of by a compromise payment by
such Indemnified Person, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, unless the
payment and indemnification thereof have been approved by the Members, which
approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, or by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(f) Any amendment or repeal of the provisions of this Article 7 shall
not adversely affect any right or protection of an Indemnified Person with
respect to any act or omission of such Indemnified Person occurring prior to
such amendment or repeal.

assignment and substitution does not violate the registration
requirements of state or federal securities laws, and such instrument
as the Members deem necessary or desirable to effect such assignee's
admission as a Substitute Member and to evidence the assignee's
acceptance of the terms of this Agreement; and
(e) the assignee shall pay all reasonable expenses in
connection with the assignee's admission as a Substitute Member.
8.3 Rights of Assignees. An assignee who does not become a Substitute

of a Member.

business of the Company within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of an event
of dissolution set forth in Section 10.1(d) of this Agreement, pursuant to and

Members holding a majority of the remaining Percentage Interests shall
constitute the consent of the Members to the continuation of the Company.

such period as the Members or liquidator may deem advisable, such reserves shall
be distributed to all of the
11
Members or their assigns in the manner set forth in Section 10.3(b) below. In

into any other form that would facilitate the distribution thereof.
(b) After payment has been made pursuant to Section 10.3(a) above, the

pursuant to Article 6). Cash and non-cash assets shall be distributed to each
Member on a pro rata basis, or in such other manner as the Members may agree,
with all noncash assets being distributed on the basis of their fair market
value.

SCHEDULE 3.2
EXTERNAL PRODUCTS
The Proposing Party shall receive such percentage ("X%") of (i) all
license fees (other than up-front license fees) and milestone and royalty
payments relating to, and Net Profits generated from the sale of, an External
Product and/or (ii) any proceeds from the sale of all of the rights to an
External Product, determined in accordance with the following formula:
X% = AB + C/B + C
Where: A equals the Proposing Party's Percentage Interest at the time the
Steering Committee either fails or affirmatively declines to accept
the proposal to develop a Collaboration Product for an additional
indication (the "Decision Time");
B equals the aggregate amount of Development Costs incurred by the
Parties as of the Decision Time; and
C equals the aggregate amount of Development Costs incurred by the
Proposing Party for such External Product after the Decision Time.
By way of example, assuming that (i) the Parties' respective
Percentage Interests are 50% at the Decision Time, (ii) $4 million in
Development Costs had been incurred by the Parties as of such time, and (iii)
the Proposing Party incurs $6 million in Development Costs after the Decision
Time, the Proposing Party would be entitled to 80% and the other Party would
be entitled to 20%.
X% = ((50%)($4,000,000)) + 6,000,000
-------------------------------
10,000,000
X% = 8,000,000
