(solely to the extent any such trials are: (A) conducted in support of approved indications in the
Field, (B) not intended to result in a labeling change, and (C) not required by any Regulatory
Authority) during such ****, Kos shall be permitted to credit the costs of such Phase IV clinical
trials, up to a maximum amount of **** per annum, as Marketing
23
Cost; provided, however, that in any event Kos shall spend at least **** in the **** following
the First Commercial Sale (and specifically excluding the Marketing Costs incurred during the ****

as required by Applicable Laws;
5.2.14 provide a **** report on inventory level of Product held by its customers and use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that **** after Product launch, such inventory does not

Parties will meet to determine what actions to take and, in addition, will consider Kos ceasing to
supply to such customers;
5.2.15 maintain records, which shall be complete and accurate in all material respects and
shall fully and properly reflect all revenues in connection with the Product. Jagotec shall have
the right, during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior written notice, to
24
inspect all such records at its own expense, so long as doing so is not unreasonably
disruptive; provided, however, Jagotec shall be permitted **** during any ****. Jagotec shall
maintain such records and information contained therein in confidence in accordance with Section 11

Agreement; and
5.2.16 undertake, and have primary responsibility for all communication with the Regulatory

for the Supply Agreement set forth in Schedule 4.7); or (B) Jagotec fails for any reason to supply
Kos with, in the aggregate, at least **** of the quantities of Product ordered by Kos in any ****
month period; then: (i) the Steering Committee shall determine whether such Inability to Supply
has or is reasonably likely to have a material negative affect on the market potential of the
Product and, if so, whether Kos’ obligations under Sections 5.2.4 and 5.2.5 should be modified (and
to what levels) to take such affect into consideration (but such levels will not be modified in any
way to increase the level of Kos’ obligations under such Sections); and (ii) during the period of
such determination process (including, if necessary resolution by an Expert pursuant to Section
3.5.4), Kos’ obligations under Sections 5.2.4 and 5.2.5 shall be tolled until a final determination
is made (so that Kos’ obligations cease during such tolled period and the relevant period is
extended to add the number of days to the end of such period equal to the number of days for which
such obligations are tolled). If the Steering Committee determines (whether by consensus or

or terminated, then Kos’ obligations shall resume at such modified levels, if any.
5.4 Responsibilities of Jagotec under the Commercialization Program. Jagotec shall be
responsible for facilitating discussions between Jagotec’s Licensees and Kos for Kos and such

(consistent with the determination of the Commercialization Committee as provided in Section 3.3.3)
for the Product in the Field so that a consistent global commercialization plan for the Product in
the Field can be developed as between Kos and such Licensees. For clarity, Jagotec and its
Licensees shall have the ultimate decision making authority with respect to each commercialization
plan of such Licensees outside the Territory for the Product.
5.5 Subcontractors/Co-promotion Partners. Kos shall be permitted, **** with the consent of
the Commercialization Committee pursuant to Section 3.3.6, to engage subcontractors, co-promotion
partners, consultants and/or contract sales forces to perform, or assist Kos in the performance of,
its commercialization obligations hereunder (including the
25
satisfaction of its PDE requirements pursuant to Section 5.2.4), provided that Kos remains
primarily responsible for satisfying such contractual obligations hereunder.
6. Milestones; Success Fees and Royalties.

then Jagotec shall be entitled to a success fee of **** within **** thereafter. The first month of
Net Sales of the Product in the Territory which can be included for purposes of reaching Success
Event 2 will be **** of such year. In the event that Net Sales of the Product in the Territory
reach **** during the period from **** such given year through **** of the following year, Jagotec
shall be entitled to the success fee of **** within **** thereafter.
6.3 Royalty Payments to Jagotec. During the term of this Agreement, Kos shall also pay to

By way of example but not limitation, if Net Sales of the Product in a Calendar Year are ****
Jagotec shall received a royalty equal to ****, calculated as follows: (i) **** of the first ****
of Net Sales, or **** plus (ii) **** of Net Sales from ****, or ****, plus (iii) **** of Net Sales
over **** or ****.
6.4 Royalty Reductions.
6.4.1 If either Party deems it necessary to obtain a license, or other rights to any Blocking
Patents with respect to the Product, such Party shall notify the other Party.
(a) If the other Party agrees, then the Parties shall discuss in good faith the procedure by
which the Parties will seek to obtain such license or other rights. The costs paid to a Third
Party (including royalties upfront, initial, milestone and periodic payments, court awarded damages
and settlement payments) associated with obtaining such license or other rights shall be **** by
the Parties in the following manner: all costs shall be paid by **** to such Third Party, provided
that **** of such costs shall be reimbursed to **** by crediting at any one time (until such time
as **** has recovered such costs) up to **** of, at **** election: (i) any **** upon obtaining the
first Registration of the Product as provided therein; (ii) any ****; and/or (iii) any ****; and
**** may carry forward any unreimbursed amount to be credited against future payments until the
full fifty percent (50%) of such costs (including royalties upfront, initial, milestone and
periodic payments, court awarded damages and settlement payments) paid by *** have been fully
recaptured by ****. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate costs recaptured pursuant to this
Section 6.4.1(a) and Section 4.2.2(c) shall in no event exceed **** of any payment due to ****.
(b) If the other Party disagrees with the initial assessment, the Parties shall obtain an
opinion of independent patent counsel reasonably acceptable to both Parties to make such
determination, and such opinion shall be binding on both Parties. In the event that such opinion
indicates that there is a Blocking Patent, then the Parties shall immediately proceed in the manner
provided in Section 6.4.1(a). The Party making the incorrect assessment shall be solely
responsible for all attorney fees incurred in connection with this Section 6.4.1(b).
6.4.2 If a Generic Product is being marketed and sold in the Territory, for any **** in which
sales of the Product measured on a number of units sold basis are at least **** lower than the
average number of units of Product sold by Kos and its Affiliates during the **** prior to the
launch of such Generic Product the royalty rate with respect to Net Sales in such **** shall be
**** of the royalty rate which would otherwise apply to such Net Sales during such **** as set
forth in Section 6.3. For purposes of clarity, the foregoing royalty reduction shall not apply to
any **** in which the number of units of Product sold by Kos and its Affiliates are not at least
**** lower than the average number of units of Product sold in the **** prior to launch of such
Generic Product, as described above.
6.4.3 Upon the expiration of the term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1, if the
Parties agree in writing to extend the term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2, and
provided that a Generic Product is not being marketed and sold in the Territory, the
28
royalty rate with respect to Net Sales during such extended term shall be **** of the royalty
rate which would otherwise apply to such Net Sales as set forth in Section 6.3. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that a Generic Product is being marketed and sold in the Territory in
the manner set forth in Section 6.4.2 and the Parties have agreed to extend the term of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2, the royalty rate for Net Sales specified in Section 6.3 which
would otherwise apply to Net Sales during the applicable Calendar Quarter shall be reduced to ****.
6.4.4 For the sake of clarity, in no event shall the royalty rate for Net Sales during any
period be less than ****.
6.5 Material Breach. Without limiting or otherwise defining what might be other material
breaches of this Agreement by Kos, any failure to make payment pursuant to this Section 6 in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement by Kos shall be deemed to be a material breach of this
Agreement, subject to the notice and cure provisions set forth in Section 13.3.
6.6 Bartering and Bundling Prohibited. Kos and its Affiliates shall not accept or solicit any
bartered goods or services for the sale of any Product. If Kos or any of its Affiliates that
distribute the Product, sells any Product to a customer who also purchases other products from such
entity, Kos agrees that if it bundles or includes any Product as part of any multiple product
offering in a manner that is reasonably likely to disadvantage the Product in order to benefit
sales or prices of other products offered for sale by Kos or its Affiliates, then for purposes of
calculating the payments due hereunder, the Net Sales shall be adjusted to reverse any discount
which was given to a customer that was in excess of customary discounts for the Product (or, in the
absence of relevant data for the Product, other similar products under similar market conditions),
if such discount was given in order to gain or maintain sales of other products.
7. Payments and Reports.
7.1 Payments.
7.1.1 Beginning with the Calendar Quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of the Product is
made in the Territory, and for each Calendar Quarter thereafter, (i) royalty payments shall be made

for the first, second and third Calendar Quarters in each Calendar Year; and (ii) royalty payments
pursuant to Section 6.3 for the fourth Calendar Quarter of each Calendar Year shall be made to
Jagotec within **** days following the end of each such Calendar Quarter; provided, however, that
Kos shall provide Jagotec with an interim report detailing an estimate of the royalty payments for
each such fourth Calendar Quarter within **** days following the end of such Calendar Quarter.
Each royalty payment shall be accompanied by a report, summarizing the total gross sales and total
Net Sales (including an itemization of the deductions applied to the gross sales to derive such Net
Sales), the number of units of Product sold (less damaged, rejected, returned or recalled Product)
during the relevant Calendar Quarter and the calculation of royalties, if any, due. Each such
statement shall be accompanied by the

7.4.3 Except in the case of circumstances which would have prevented an error or anomaly from
being disclosed during an audit performed under this Section 7.4, such as fraud, misrepresentation
or other willful misconduct or gross negligence to provide accurate information, upon the
expiration of **** following the end of any Calendar Year, the calculation of royalties payable
with respect to such year will be binding and conclusive upon each Party and Kos will be released
from any liability or accountability with respect to royalties for such Calendar Year.
7.5 Taxes.
7.5.1 Jagotec will be responsible for any income or other taxes owed by Jagotec or required by
Applicable Laws to be withheld or deducted from any of the royalty and other payments made by or on

such payments. Jagotec will provide Kos any information available to Jagotec that is necessary to
determine the Withholding Taxes. Kos will pay such Withholding Taxes to the proper taxing
authority for Jagotec’s account and will send evidence of such payment to Jagotec within one month
of such payment. The Parties will do all such lawful acts and things and sign all such lawful
deeds and documents as either Party may reasonably request from the other Party to enable Jagotec
and Kos to take advantage of any applicable legal provision or any double taxation treaties with
the object of paying the sums due to Jagotec hereunder without withholding or deducting any
Withholding Taxes, or the recovery thereof.
7.5.2 Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, Kos agrees that, with respect to
any royalty or other payment made by or on behalf of Kos to Jagotec (as the beneficial owner)
hereunder, after Kos has received both:
(a) a properly executed Form W-8BEN from Jagotec, certifying that: (a) Jagotec (the beneficial
owner) is a resident of Switzerland within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United
States and Switzerland (the “Treaty”); (b) the beneficial owner’s U.S. taxpayer identification
number is stated on the Form W-8BEN; (c) the beneficial owner derives the item (or items) of income
for which the Treaty benefits are claimed; and (d) the beneficial owner meets the requirements of
the Treaty provision dealing with limitation on benefits; and
(b) such other documents as Kos determines constitute a sufficient basis upon which Kos may
rely to establish that Kos does not know or have reason to know that it is, by reason of this
Agreement, a financed entity in a conduit financing arrangement (as such terms are defined by
Section 1.881-3 of the Treasury Regulations),
Kos will not, for the period during which such Form W-8BEN is in effect and during which Kos does
not know or have reason to know that it is, by reason of this Agreement, a financed entity in a
conduit financing arrangement, deduct or withhold any amount as Withholding Taxes for United States
federal income tax purposes except to the extent that the United States is permitted, by the
Treaty, to impose tax in such amount on income of the same type as such payment, derived by a
resident of Switzerland that meets the requirements of the Treaty provision dealing with limitation
on benefits with respect to such payment.
31
7.5.3 Should Jagotec be required by Applicable Laws to account for Swiss VAT, Kos shall also
pay Jagotec such additional VAT. This shall apply only if Jagotec provides Kos with an invoice

Patents on jointly owned Inventions. The filing Party shall thereafter exclusively own all rights,
title and interest in such Inventions.
8.3 Patent and Trademark Enforcement.
8.3.1 If either Party gains knowledge of an infringement, unauthorized use, misappropriation

settlement) to lost sales, such portion shall be shared by the Parties as if such amount
constituted Net Sales in the Calendar Year in which such award is finally awarded by the court (or
such settlement entered into), and any remaining portion of any such award shall be shared by the
Parties equally.

34
(including fees for attorneys and professionals) of such suit or threatened suit (including
fees for attorneys and professionals) incurred by the Parties with respect to such action; and (ii)

attorneys and professionals) incurred by each Party in defending against the suit or threatened
suit on a pro-rata basis. Any remaining award or damages after reimbursement of Jagotec and Kos
shall be split equally between the Parties. Each Party shall assist and cooperate with the other
Party, at the other Party’s reasonable request and expense, in the defense of any such suit or
threatened suit (including, without limitation, consenting to being named as a party thereto).

and coverage as is normal and customary in the industry within the Territory for parties similarly
situated, but in no event in an amount less than **** per occurrence and in the aggregate. It is
understood that such insurance will not be construed to limit a Party’s liability with respect to
its indemnification obligations under this Section 12. Each Party will, except to the extent self
insured, provide to the other Party upon request, a certificate evidencing the insurance such Party
is required to obtain and keep in force under this Section 12.

the right to extend the term of this Agreement as provided in Section 13.2.
13.2 Right to Extend Term. Kos shall have the right to extend the term of this Agreement on
the following terms and conditions:
13.2.1 Kos shall notify Jagotec in writing at least **** prior to the anticipated expiration

13.2.2 upon receipt of such notice, Jagotec shall enter into good faith negotiations with Kos
regarding the terms of such extension. The terms of such extension shall include the applicable

reflecting such terms.
13.3 Termination for Cause.
13.3.1 Either Party (the “Non-breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement, without
prejudice to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, in the event the other Party
(the “Breaching Party”) shall have breached any representation or warranty, or breached or
defaulted in the performance of any of its material obligations hereunder and such breach or
default shall have continued for **** after written notice thereof was provided to the Breaching
Party by the Non-breaching Party (or, if such breach or default cannot be cured within such ****
period, if the Breaching Party does not commence and diligently continue actions to cure such
breach or default during such ****). Any such termination under this Section 13.3 shall become
effective at the end of such **** notice period unless the Breaching Party has cured any such
noticed breach(es) or default(s) prior to the expiration of such **** period (or, if such
breach(es) or default(s) cannot be cured within such **** period, if the Breaching Party has
commenced and diligently continues actions to cure such breach(es) or default(s)). The right of
either Party to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 13.3 shall not be affected in

13.4 Termination Upon Withdrawal of the Product. This Agreement may be terminated at any time

45
13.5 Termination for Safety Concerns. If: (i) after the filing of a Registration Application
for the Product, Kos determines, in its reasonable judgment after discussions with Jagotec, that
the Product should be withdrawn due to a significant concern for the safety of the study subjects,
which concern is based on a reasonable review of clinical data developed during the Development
Program; or (ii) during the Product’s Commercialization Program, such Product becomes subject to a
pattern of Serious Adverse Drug Experiences or either Party receives notice from a Regulatory
Authority relating to a significant concern for safety, in each case which Kos, in good faith,
reasonably believes would significantly impact the long-term viability of the Product; Kos shall
have the right, upon **** prior written notice to Jagotec setting forth the reasons therefor in
reasonable detail, to have the Steering Committee determine whether or not there exists such
significant safety concerns or such significantly impact on the long-term viability of a Product
and what, if anything, the Parties should do to address the matter; provided, however, that Kos
shall have the right to immediately temporarily cease the marketing, sale and distribution of the
Product until a final resolution is reached as provided in this Section 13.5. In the event the
Steering Committee is unable to reach a unanimous resolution of the matter within **** of the
matter being referred to the Steering Committee, Kos may terminate this Agreement upon **** prior
written notice to Jagotec only if Kos, in good faith, reasonably believes that the patient safety
issue would significantly eliminate the long-term viability of such Product and certifies the same
to Jagotec in such written notice.
13.6 Termination upon Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, if, at any time,
the other Party shall file in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any
state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an
arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Party or of substantially all of
its assets, or if the other Party proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of
substantially all of its debts, or if the other Party shall be served with an involuntary petition
against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition shall not be dismissed within
**** after the filing thereof, or if the other Party shall propose or be a party to any dissolution
or liquidation, or if the other Party shall make an assignment of substantially all of its assets
for the benefit of creditors.
13.7 Other Termination Rights.
13.7.1 **** may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon **** prior written notice ****
is acquired (whether through merger, sale of stock representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the
outstanding voting stock of ****, sale of all or substantially all of **** assets or otherwise) by,
or the division or portion of the business of **** to which the Agreement relates is sold or
otherwise transferred to, a company which promotes an **** product in the Territory and such
acquirer does not (i) provide notice to **** within **** of its acquisition of **** (or the
division or portion of the business of **** to which this Agreement relates), as applicable, of its
intention to divest itself of such **** product; or (ii) having provided such notice to **** does

addition to the Core Clinical Program to be conducted in order to obtain Registration of the
Existing Product for the Indications as provided in Section 4.2.2, and either Party reasonably
believes that such requirements **** Product in the Territory to a date on or before ****, then
such Party shall submit the concern to **** for a determination of whether such belief is accurate
or not. If the **** determines (whether by consensus or through the use of an Expert as provided
in Section 3.5.4) that such belief is accurate, such Party may terminate this Agreement upon ****
prior written notice to the other Party. If the **** determines (whether by consensus or through
the use of an Expert as provided in Section 3.5.4) that such belief is not accurate, then neither
Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in such event.
13.7.4 **** may terminate this Agreement if the **** reasonably determines that the costs for
the additional trials required by the Regulatory Authority as provided in Section 4.2.2 will exceed
****, and if the **** reasonably determines that the costs for the additional trials required by

Party are traded, and each Party will use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for
such terms; provided, that each Party will ultimately retain control over what information to
disclose to the SEC, London Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange, as the case may be, and
provided further that the Parties will use their reasonable efforts to file redacted versions with
any governing bodies which are consistent with redacted versions previously filed with any other

London Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange.
