RECONCILIATION OF RIGHTS

2.1

The March 30 Agreement

Subject only to payment in full by NABI of the amounts specified in Section 5.2A as therein provided, the March 30 Agreement is terminated as of the Effective Date (including without limitation those provisions thereof which purport to govern after the termination or expiration of such agreement) except that:

(i) Section 2.1 thereof is incorporated herein and shall continue through the End Date and thereafter as may be reasonably necessary for the parties to perform the services, and take the actions necessary, for the transition of the Studies including delivery of the Data and assignment of the Assigned Contracts from NABI to FRESENIUS (or its designees), as set forth in this Agreement;

(ii) In order to plan for an orderly transition and avoid injury that may result if the obligations of NABI were abruptly terminated, NABI shall continue its efforts in prosecuting the lung Study between the Effective Date and the End Date consistent with its efforts expended on the lung Study during 2007 prior to the Effective Date and shall be responsible for and shall bear (and FRESENIUS shall not incur any responsibility or liability for) any and all costs, including but not limited to investigator fees, laboratory costs, and monitoring costs, which are attributable to NABI’s conduct and continuation of the lung Study through the End Date even if the steps establishing NABI’s liability for such costs are partially completed after the End Date (for example, collection of samples or completion of reports after the End Date for patient visits or treatments occurring before the End Date, or completion of interim data analysis in respect thereof) (collectively, “NABI’s Pre-End Date Accrued Liabilities”); and

(iii) Sections 4.1(E), 4.1(F), 4.4, 5.1 (but only in respect of the lung Study), 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 6.1, 7.6, 7.7 and 8, of the March 30 Agreement are incorporated herein and shall continue through the End Date (and to the extent necessary to discharge the obligations of NABI in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after the End Date) whereupon they shall terminate.

2.2

Certain Rights to Improvements and Trademarks

A. NABI hereby grants to FRESENIUS an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, milestone-free, perpetual license, with the right to sublicense, to make, use, sell, offer for sale each of the Improvements that is or was either owned, or controlled with the right to sublicense, by NABI at any time during the term of the March 30 Agreement, if any.

B. After the Effective Date FRESENIUS shall not use any NABI Trademarks except to the extent necessary in connection with the transition of the Studies (and then only insofar as reference to NABI is necessary) or to the extent the NABI Trademarks are included on a product as to which Section 2.3 shall apply.

2.3

Packaging and Labeling Requirements.

As of the End Date all of the Licensed Product in the possession of third parties by reason of agreements between NABI and each such third party shall be the property of the third party to the extent mandated by the relevant agreement with such third party or if not so mandated shall be the property of FRESENIUS. If such Licensed Product is labeled with the NABI Trademarks, FRESENIUS is hereby granted a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the same until such Licensed Product is exhausted or is otherwise properly disposed of in accordance with business practices applicable in the industry.

3.2

NABI’s Obligations

A. Without limiting Section 3.1, NABI shall, at its cost and expense, fully and promptly cooperate with FRESENIUS through the End Date in connection with the transition from NABI to FRESENIUS (or its designees) of responsibility for the current lung Study, renal Study and stem cell transplant Study, and not later than October 25, 2007, NABI shall (i) fulfill all of NABI’s Scheduled Obligations and (ii) deliver to FRESENIUS (or its designees), such of the following as are in its possession or under its control with respect to ATG or NABI’s activities undertaken pursuant to the March 30 Agreement: all data, studies, analyses, technological,

(iii) In each jurisdiction where the Transfer Effectiveness Date has not occurred by the End Date, the consulting services to be provided by NABI at the cost and expense of FRESENIUS (in accordance with Section 5.3 A (ii)) shall include NABI’s continuation as the sponsor of the lung Study until the Transfer Effectiveness Date in such jurisdiction; provided, however, that in such event FRESENIUS shall cooperate fully with such efforts at its sole cost and expense and FRESENIUS shall be responsible for and shall bear (and NABI shall not incur any responsibility or liability for) any and all of NABI’s Out of Pocket Costs incurred in connection with such efforts, including but not limited to investigator fees, laboratory costs, and monitoring costs, even if the steps establishing the liability for such costs are partially completed after the Transfer Effectiveness Date (for example, collection of samples or completion of reports after the Transfer Effectiveness Date for patient visits or treatments occurring between the End Date and the Transfer Effectiveness Date, or completion of interim data analysis in respect thereof);

provided, however, that in all of the above cases, NABI shall have no right to charge FRESENIUS for or in respect of NABI’S Pre-End Date Accrued Liabilities or for the fulfillment of other obligations which are specifically at the cost and expense of NABI pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement.

(iii) the agreements in effect in such jurisdiction that may be assigned only with the consent of the counterparty thereto as set forth on Schedule 3 to this Agreement.

E. At such time as is specified by FRESENIUS not later than the Transfer Effectiveness Date in each applicable jurisdiction, NABI shall deliver to FRESENIUS’ account at the third party drug depositary where the Licensed Product is stored by NABI, without charge, all quantities of Licensed Product which are in the possession or control of NABI, provided that FRESENIUS shall take into consideration in making such request for delivery, the reasonable requirements of NABI to fulfill its responsibilities with respect to the delivery of Licensed Product to clinical sites on or prior to the Transfer Effectiveness Date in each applicable jurisdiction.

F. Upon reasonable advance written notice given by FRESENIUS to NABI, FRESENIUS shall have the right to conduct, prior to the End Date and at its sole cost and expense, one GCP audit (including without limitation system/organization, documentation, data management, pharmacovigilance, on-site visits, service providers, trial master file (“TMF”)) at the facilities of NABI with respect to the lung Study.

G.

H. Subject to NABI’s having complied with its obligations under Sections 3.2A and 3.2B with respect to the transfer to FRESENIUS (or its designees) of the lung Study data base, trial master file and safety data base, NABI shall have no obligation to take any actions, incur any expenses, perform any services or assist FRESENIUS in any way in respect of continuation of the current lung Study, the transition of the Studies to FRESENIUS or the development of ATG within or without the Territory after December 6, 2007 except to the limited extent set forth in the proviso to Section 3.2G above.

I. In the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement involve the assignment of rights under any contract, agreement, license or claim, or of other rights, assets, or property, which are nonassignable without the consent, authorization or approval of the other party or parties thereto or any other third party or governmental entity (a “Nonassignable Contract”), and such consent, authorization or approval shall not have been obtained by NABI prior to the Transfer Effectiveness Date applicable to such contract despite commercially reasonable efforts by NABI, then, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (and without relieving NABI of any liability or obligation it may have under this Agreement), any such Nonassignable Contract shall not be assigned (except any rights to receive payments thereunder) until all such necessary consents, authorizations and approvals with respect to such Nonassignable Contract shall have been obtained, whereupon NABI shall, without further consideration, promptly assign or cause the assignment of same to FRESENIUS. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that NABI complies with this Section 3.2I, NABI shall not be held liable or accountable for failing to deliver, assign or make available to FRESENIUS any of the Nonassignable Contracts.

J. For the purposes of the deliveries to be made by NABI to FRESENIUS pursuant to this Agreement, delivery by NABI (i) electronically to FRESENIUS or (ii) in the case of physical delivery, to the carrier or delivery service specified by FRESENIUS, addressed as specified by FRESENIUS, will constitute satisfactory delivery by NABI.

(iii) NABI’s claims for payment complying with Section 5.3B(i) above (exclusive of those made under clause (b), which may not be contested), that are not disputed by FRESENIUS in a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to NABI, within 20 days of the date of NABI’S claim for reimbursement shall be paid to NABI by the Escrow Agent promptly following such 20th day. If FRESENIUS shall dispute any such claim for reimbursement in writing within such 20 days, the Escrow Agent shall not pay such claim except as thereafter provided in a joint written direction received from NABI and FRESENIUS or a court order.

(iv) Anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, NABI may in its sole discretion present to FRESENIUS for payment by it directly, invoices received by NABI from third parties as a result of NABI’s performance of its obligations under Section 3.2B(iii). FRESENIUS agrees to pay all such invoices promptly following receipt.

(v) If the funds held in escrow under the Escrow Agreement shall be insufficient to pay NABI the full amount it is owed pursuant to this Agreement, such amount(s) shall be paid by FRESENIUS directly.

(i) If FRESENIUS shall challenge any claim or group of claims for payment, and a court shall find that the amount of such claim or group of claims is overstated by more than ten percent (10%) of the amount of such claim or group of claims for which FRESENIUS is liable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then NABI shall pay the reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including of outside lawyers and accountants) incurred by FRESENIUS in contesting such claim or group of claims.

(ii) If FRESENIUS shall challenge any claim or group of claims for payment and a court shall find that the amount of such claim or group of claims is not overstated by more than ten percent (10%) of the amount of such claim or group of claims for which FRESENIUS is liable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then

FRESENIUS shall pay the reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including of outside lawyers and accountants) incurred by NABI in defending such claim or group of claims.

5.4

Disbursement of the Residual Escrow Amount

The Escrow Agent shall disburse the Residual Escrow Amount (excluding interest earned thereon) to NABI in accordance with Section 5.3 until such amounts that have been claimed by NABI through January 31, 2008 have been paid in full or determined to be not payable. NABI and FRESENIUS shall prepare and jointly sign a reconciliation of the Residual Escrow Amount and direction to the Escrow Agent as to the disbursement of the balance of the Residual Escrow Amount on or before February 21, 2008 (the “Reconciliation”). The balance of the Residual Escrow Amount (including interest earned thereon) held by the Escrow Agent shall be paid as directed in the Reconciliation. In the event that the Reconciliation is not completed and jointly signed for any reason, the balance of the Residual Escrow Amount shall be retained in escrow pending presentation of a joint written direction received from NABI and FRESENIUS or a court order.

5.5

Interest on Escrow Funds.

No interest accruing on the funds held in escrow shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent to NABI or FRESENIUS, as the case may be, as each payment is made by the Escrow Agent out of the Residual Escrow Amount. Such interest shall be allocated between NABI and FRESENIUS in the same manner and to the same extent as any payment of principal out of the Residual Escrow Amount and shall be paid by the Escrow Agent as directed in the Reconciliation. In the event that the Reconciliation is not completed and jointly signed for any reason, the balance of the Residual Escrow Amount shall be retained in escrow pending presentation of a joint written direction received from NABI and FRESENIUS or a court order.

5.6

As of the Effective Date, NABI, on behalf of itself and each of its past or present, agents, employees, representatives, partners, licensees, attorneys, transferees, predecessors, successors, assigns, owners, shareholders, officers, directors, parents, and Affiliates (the “NABI Releasors”) does hereby irrevocably release, acquit and forever discharge FRESENIUS and each of its past or present agents, employees, representatives, partners, licensees, attorneys, transferrees, predecessors, successors, assigns, owners, shareholders, officers, directors, parents, and Affiliates (the “FRESENIUS Releasees”) of or from any and all debts, suits, actions, causes of action, controversies, demands, rights, damages, losses, expenses, costs, attorneys’ fees, compensation, liabilities, obligations and claims of every kind and nature whatsoever, suspected or unsuspected, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that the NABI Releasors or any of them may now have or at any time may have had against the FRESENIUS Releasees with respect to the Released Claims, up to and including the Effective Date, provided, however, that nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to affect, release or waive any rights against, and/or obligations of, FRESENIUS as provided in this Agreement including, notwithstanding the termination of the March 30 Agreement, in respect of any breach by FRESENIUS of Section 9 of the March 30 Agreement occurring prior to the Effective Date as contemplated by Section 7.1B.

B. Subject only to payment in full by NABI of the amounts specified in Section 5.2A as therein provided, as of the Effective Date, FRESENIUS, on behalf of itself and each of its past or present, agents, employees, representatives, partners, licensees, attorneys, transferees, predecessors, successors, assigns, owners, shareholders, officers, directors, parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates (the “FRESENIUS Releasors”) does hereby irrevocably release, acquit and forever discharge NABI and each of its past or present agents, employees, representatives, partners, licensees, attorneys, transferrees, predecessors, successors, assigns, owners, shareholders, officers, directors, parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates (the “NABI Releasees”) of or from any and all debts, suits, actions, causes of action, controversies, demands, rights, damages, losses, expenses, costs, attorneys’ fees, compensation, liabilities, obligations and claims of every kind and nature whatsoever, suspected or unsuspected, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that the FRESENIUS Releasors or any of them may now have or at any time may have had against the NABI Releasees with respect to the Released Claims, up to and including the Effective Date, provided, however, that nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to affect, release or waive any rights against, and/or obligations of, NABI as provided in this Agreement including, notwithstanding the termination of the March 30 Agreement, in respect of any breach by NABI of Section 9 of the March 30 Agreement occurring prior to the Effective Date as contemplated by Section 7.2B.

C. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

6.2

Confidential Treatment

Each party shall seek reasonable confidential treatment for the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and any other governmental agency or self-regulatory organization to which such party provides a copy of, or discloses the terms of, this Agreement. Prior to seeking confidential treatment from the SEC or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory organization for any such document, the party required to make such disclosure shall consult with the other party if practicable, and provide them with a reasonable opportunity to request the exclusion of specified provisions and any request by it for confidential treatment.

6.3

Exclusions

A. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude FRESENIUS or NABI from utilizing Confidential Information of the other party as may be necessary in obtaining governmental approvals for any purpose permitted under this Agreement.

B. In the event that Confidential Information of the other party is required by law or government regulations to be disclosed, the party disclosing such Confidential Information shall, to the extent it may legally do so, timely:

(i) inform the original disclosing party hereunder of such requirement;

(ii) use reasonable efforts to limit such disclosure and maintain confidentiality to the extent possible; and

(iii) permit the original disclosing party to attempt to limit such disclosure by appropriate legal means.

C. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant NABI (or any party acquiring Confidential Information from NABI) any right to prosecute a patent application for any aspect of Licensed Product.

6.4

Public Announcements

A. Neither party shall make any public announcement concerning this Agreement, nor make any public statement which includes the name of the other party or any of its Affiliates, or otherwise use the name of the other party or any of its Affiliates in any public statement or document without the written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably except:

(i) as may be required by applicable accounting rules or standards, law, judicial order or the rules of any stock exchange where the stock or securities of the disclosing party are listed to the extent that the disclosing party is required to observe such rules, or

(ii) in a subsequent public statement or document regarding this Agreement which has already been approved by the other party.

B. As promptly as possible after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties shall prepare a mutually acceptable statement for purposes of dissemination to the clinical research centers and others who are currently engaged in the lung Study.

F. any claim that the development, manufacture, sale or use of a Licensed Product by NABI pursuant to the March 30 Agreement or this Agreement infringed or infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party or misappropriated or misappropriates the trade secrets of a third party.

7.2

Indemnification by NABI

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7, from and after the date hereof, NABI shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless FRESENIUS and its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (the “FRESENIUS Indemnitees”) in respect of any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any of the FRESENIUS Indemnitees resulting from or attributable to:

7.3

Third Party Claims

A. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures.

(i) A Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the Person from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion in writing of any such claim by a third party; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party promptly or at all shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent of actual prejudice caused by such

failure. Such written notification shall include a description in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) of the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount of the Damages claimed. Within twenty-five (25) days after delivery of such written notification, the Indemnifying Party may, by 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party may not assume the defense of any Third Party Claim for equitable or other non-monetary relief that would materially affect the ongoing operations of the business of the Indemnified Party.

(ii) 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 Indemnified Party may assume or retain control of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered “Damages” for the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel 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.

(iii) The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of any Third Party Claim that does not include a complete 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, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

7.4

Procedure for Other Claims

An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a non-Third Party Claim for indemnification under this Section 7 shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment of such Claimed Amount. Within twenty-five (25) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (x) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to

receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (y) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer ), or (z) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to litigate such dispute in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1.

7.5

Product Liability Insurance

Each party shall maintain through the End Date, and for at least six (6) years thereafter, general liability insurance with an internationally reputable, credit-worthy, unaffiliated insurance company, which insurance shall include product liability coverage and shall be in amounts and of a type customarily maintained by companies similarly situated, provided that such insurance shall provide at least Ten Million US Dollars ($10,000,000) in coverage per occurrence unless such insurance is unavailable in the insurance market. On or prior to the End Date, each party shall deliver to the other evidence of its insurance.

7.6

Special, Indirect or Like Damages

IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR ANY SIMILAR ECONOMIC LOSS SUCH AS LOSS OF PROFITS SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SECTION 7.6 SHALL NOT APPLY (A) IN RESPECT OF A CLAIM BY FRESENIUS THAT NABI OR ONE OF ITS AFFILIATES HAS BREACHED THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 6.1 AND 6.2, (B) TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR WHICH INDEMNIFICATION MAY BE OWING BY THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY HEREUNDER, AND (C) IN RESPECT OF A CLAIM ASSERTING GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

7.7

Specific Performance

The parties acknowledge that the obligations set forth in Sections 2, 3 and 6 are necessary for the protection of the parties and each party agrees that any breach thereof shall cause the affected party irreparable damage, that the affected party’s remedies at law in the event of such breach would be inadequate, and that, accordingly, the affected party shall be entitled to equitable relief including the issuance by a court of competent jurisdiction of an injunction in favor of the affected party. The foregoing provision shall not constitute a waiver or election of any other remedies any party may have in law or in equity subject, however, to the limitations contained in this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to the conflict of law principles thereof (except that § 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law shall apply).

A governmental or regulatory inspection or order directed at either party shall not be considered to be a force majeure event for the purposes of this Agreement.

B. The party so affected by a force majeure event within the scope of this Agreement shall:

(i) give prompt written notice to the other party of the nature and date of commencement of the force majeure event and its expected duration; and

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to relieve the effect of such cause as rapidly as possible.

8.3

Relationship of the Parties

The relationship of the parties under this Agreement is that of independent contractors.
