(b) Regulatory Exclusivity. On a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, if the sole basis for the continuance of a Royalty Term is the existence of Regulatory Exclusivity, the applicable royalty rate under Section 4.1 shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%).
(c) Third Party Royalty Obligations. If Infinity (i) reasonably determines in good faith that, in order to avoid infringement of any patent not licensed hereunder, it is reasonably necessary to obtain a license from a Third Party in order to Manufacture or Commercialize a Product in a country in the Infinity Territory and to pay a royalty or other consideration under such license (including in connection with the settlement of a patent infringement claim), or (ii) shall be subject to a final court or other binding order or ruling requiring any payments, including the payment of a royalty to a Third Party patent holder in respect of future sales of any Product in a country in the Infinity Territory, then the amount of Infinity’s royalty payments under Section 4.1(b) with respect to Net Sales for such Product, as applicable, in such country shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) of the amount paid by Infinity to such Third Party that is reasonably and appropriately allocable to, as applicable, such Product; provided, however, that in no event will a deduction, or deductions, under this Section 4.2(c) reduce any royalty payment made by Infinity in respect of Net Sales of such Product pursuant to Section 4.1(b) by more than fifty percent (50%).
12
Section 4.3 Royalties Payable Only Once. Infinity’s obligation to pay royalties under Section 4.1 is imposed only once with respect to the same unit of Product, including by reason of such Product being Covered by more than one Valid Claim of Infinity Patent Rights or MICL Patent Rights.
Section 4.4 Royalty Reports and Accounting.
(a) Royalty Reports; Royalty Payments. Infinity shall deliver to MICL, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the applicable Royalty Term, reasonably detailed written accountings of Net Sales of Products that are subject to royalty payments due to MICL for such calendar quarter. Such accountings shall be Confidential Information of Infinity unless otherwise excluded by Section 5.1(b). Such quarterly reports shall indicate (i) gross sales and Net Sales (including reasonable detail for deductions from gross sales to Net Sales) on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, and (ii) the calculation of royalties from such gross sales and Net Sales. When Infinity delivers such accounting to MICL, Infinity shall also deliver all royalty payments due under Section 4.1 to MICL for the calendar quarter.
(b) Audits.
(i) Infinity shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records of the latest three (3) years relating to gross sales, Net Sales and all underlying revenue and expense data relating to the calculations of Net Sales and payments required by Section 4.1. For the sole purpose of verifying amounts payable to MICL, MICL shall have the right annually, at MICL’s expense, to retain an independent certified public accountant selected by MICL and reasonably acceptable to Infinity, to review such records in the location(s) where such records are maintained by Infinity, its Affiliates and Sublicensees upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours. Such representatives shall execute a suitable confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Infinity prior to conducting such audit. Such representatives shall disclose to each of MICL and Infinity only their conclusions regarding the accuracy of royalty payments and of records related thereto. The right to audit any royalty report shall extend for three (3) years from the end of the calendar year in which the royalty report was delivered. Each royalty report shall be subject only to one such audit. Infinity shall, within thirty (30) days after the Parties’ receipt of the audit report, pay MICL the amount of any underpayment revealed by such audit together with interest calculated in the manner provided in Section 4.7. If the underpayment is equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the amount that was otherwise due, MICL shall be entitled to have Infinity reimburse MICL’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such review. MICL shall, within thirty (30) days after the Parties’ receipt of the audit report, return to Infinity any overpayment revealed by such audit.
13
(ii) Infinity shall keep complete and accurate records of its Research and Development Expenses (as defined in the Strategic Alliance Agreement) reimbursable by MICL in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Strategic Alliance Agreement. For the sole purpose of verifying the Research and Development Funding paid to Infinity pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Strategic Alliance Agreement, MICL shall have the right annually (after the completion of any annual comparison of Research and Development Funding to actual Research and Development Expenses), at MICL’s expense, to retain an independent certified public accountant selected by MICL and reasonably acceptable to Infinity, to review the quarterly reports and backup records in the location(s) where such records are maintained by Infinity or its Affiliates upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours. Such representatives shall execute a suitable confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Infinity prior to conducting such audit. Such representatives shall disclose to each of MICL and Infinity only their conclusions regarding the accuracy of actual Research and Development Expenses and of records related thereto. The right to audit any Research and Development Expenses shall extend for three (3) years from the end of the calendar year in which the quarterly report relating to such expenses was delivered to MICL in accordance with Section 2.3(a) of the Strategic Alliance Agreement. Each quarterly report shall be subject only to one such audit under this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement. Infinity shall, within thirty (30) days after the Parties’ receipt of the audit report, pay MICL the amount of any overpayment revealed by such audit together with interest calculated in the manner provided in Section 4.7. If the overpayment is equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the amount that was otherwise due, MICL shall be entitled to have Infinity reimburse MICL’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such review. Infinity shall, within thirty (30) days after the Parties’ receipt of the audit report, pay any such overpayment amount to MICL. MICL shall, within thirty (30) days after the Parties’ receipt of the audit report, pay to Infinity any underpayment revealed by such audit.
Section 4.5 Currency Exchange. All payments to MICL hereunder shall be made in US Dollars. For the purpose of calculating any sums due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than US Dollars), Infinity shall convert any amount expressed in a foreign currency into US Dollar equivalents, calculated using the applicable currency conversion rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, on the last Business Day of the applicable calendar quarter for the calendar quarter in which such sales were made.
Section 4.6 Tax Withholding. Any income or other taxes which Infinity is required by Law to pay or withhold on behalf of MICL with respect to any payments payable to MICL under this Agreement shall be deducted from the amount of such payments due, and paid or withheld, as appropriate, by Infinity on behalf of MICL. Any such tax required by applicable Law to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by, MICL. Infinity shall furnish MICL with reasonable evidence of such payment or amount withheld, in electronic or written form, as soon as practicable after such payment is made or such amount is withheld. The Parties will reasonably cooperate in completing and filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable tax laws or under any other applicable Law in connection with the making of any required tax payment or withholding payment, or in connection with any claim to a refund of or credit for any such payment.
14
Section 4.7 Late Payments. Without limiting any other rights or remedies available to a Party hereunder, if Infinity does not pay any amount due on or before the due date, Infinity shall pay to MICL interest on any such amounts from and after the date such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the then current “prime rate” in effect published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, plus three (3) percentage points or the maximum applicable legal rate, if less, calculated on the total number of days payment is delinquent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, before disclosing this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement or any of the terms hereof or thereof pursuant to this Section 5.2(b), the Parties will consult with one another on the terms of this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement for which confidential treatment will be sought in making any such disclosure. If a Party wishes to disclose this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement or any of the terms hereof or thereof in accordance with this Section 5.2(b), such Party agrees, at its own expense, to seek confidential treatment of the portions of this Agreement, the Strategic Alliance Agreement or such terms as may be reasonably requested by the other Party; provided, that the disclosing Party shall always be entitled to comply with legal requirements, including the requirements of the SEC.

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

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION, LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
Section 7.1 Indemnification.
(a) MICL. MICL shall indemnify and hold harmless Infinity and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Infinity Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, costs, damages, fees or expenses (“Losses”) arising out of (i) any Third Party claims resulting from the breach by MICL of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any Third Party claims resulting from any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of any MICL Indemnified Party in performing MICL’s obligations or exercising MICL’s rights under this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement, or (iii) any Third Party claim of personal injury or other product liability resulting from Products Developed, Manufactured or Commercialized by MICL or its Affiliates or sublicensees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MICL shall not be responsible for the indemnification of any Infinity Indemnified Party to the extent that the Losses of such Infinity Indemnified Party were caused by: (A) the negligence or willful misconduct of such Infinity Indemnified Party, or (B) any breach by Infinity of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Infinity. Infinity shall indemnify and hold harmless MICL and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “MICL Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any Losses arising out of (i) any Third Party claims resulting from the breach by Infinity of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any Third Party claims resulting from any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of any Infinity Indemnified Parties or any Sublicensee or Service Provider of Infinity, in performing Infinity’s obligations or exercising Infinity’s rights under this Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement, or (iii) any Third Party claim of personal injury or other product liability resulting from Products Developed, Manufactured or Commercialized by Infinity or its Affiliates or Sublicensees.

19
(c) Procedure. A Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.1 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a Third Party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a Third Party (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party claim as provided in this subsection shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice). Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith; provided further, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any one jurisdiction for all Indemnified Parties. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
(d) Allocation. In the event a claim is based partially on an indemnified claim and partially on a non-indemnified claim or based partially on a claim indemnified by one Party and partially on a claim indemnified by the other Party, any payments in connection with such claims shall be apportioned between the Parties in accordance with the degree of cause attributable to each Party.
(e) Mitigation of Damages. Nothing in this Article VII will act to negate any obligation under common law of either Party to mitigate damages with respect to any Third Party claim for which such Party is seeking indemnification from the other Party hereunder.
Section 7.2 Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF ARTICLE V AND EXCEPT FOR THE PARTIES’ INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 7.1, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLE OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, COSTS OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES AND/OR LOST SAVINGS), ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, COSTS OR EXPENSES.
20
Section 7.3 Insurance. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, with respect to its activities hereunder, in an amount and coverage reasonably appropriate for a company comparable to such Party. Either Party may satisfy its obligations under this Section 7.3 through self-insurance to the same extent. The foregoing coverage shall continue during the Term and for a period of six (6) years thereafter.

21
Section 9.3 Assignment. This Agreement (including any rights or obligations hereunder) may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party, in whole or in part, without the express prior written consent of the other Party, except that (a) MICL may assign or transfer this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without Infinity’s consent to (i) an Affiliate of MICL; provided, that, such assignment by MICL will not relieve MICL of its obligations to Infinity under this Agreement, (ii) any assignee of all or substantially all of MICL’s business, or (iii) the successor of the relevant portion of MICL’s business by reason of merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any similar transaction, and (b) Infinity may assign or transfer this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the consent of MICL to (i) an Affiliate of Infinity, provided such assignment by Infinity will not relieve Infinity of its obligations to MICL under this Agreement, (ii) any assignee of all or substantially all of Infinity’s business, or (iii) the successor of the relevant portion of Infinity’s business by reason of merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any similar transaction. Any permitted successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations hereunder will, in a writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. An assignment or transfer by a Party pursuant to this Section 9.3 will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors or assigns. No assignment or transfer will relieve either Party of its responsibility for the performance of any obligation prior to such assignment or transfer. No such assignment or transfer will be valid or effective unless performed in accordance with this Section 9.3. Each Party agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that this Agreement is assigned by either Party in connection with the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the business of such Party or in connection with a merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the non-assigning Party shall not be provided with rights or access to Know-How or intellectual property rights of such assignee or the acquirer of such Party.

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

Section 9.7 Force Majeure.

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

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

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

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