A. In partial consideration of the License and any assignment of Divided Patents granted herein, Amylin shall pay to Curis an amount equal to [**] Dollars ($[**]) (“License Fee”). The License Fee shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the parties’ signing of this Agreement.

In further consideration of the License and any assignment of Divided Patents granted herein, beginning upon the first Sale of each Product in a country, Amylin shall pay Curis a royalty equal to [**]% of Net Sales of such Product, provided that (i) a Curis Patent or Divided Patent with claims covering the Product has issued in such country and is in force, or (ii) if Curis or its licensee is prosecuting an undivided application in such country for a Curis Patent or Divided Patent, such application has been pending for no more than seven (7) years from its earliest filing date and Curis or its licensee has diligently pursued prosecution and issuance of claims in the Field during such time, or (iii) if Amylin is prosecuting an application in such country for a Divided Patent, such application is pending. In the event that seven years transpires according to (ii) above, and a Curis Patent or Divided Patent with claims in the Field subsequently issues in a country where Product is sold, any obligation of Amylin to pay royalties shall cease in the intervening time, and Amylin’s royalty obligations shall begin again upon issuance of the Curis Patent or Divided Patent for the remainder of the Term.

(a) In applying the royalty terms of Section 3(B), the royalty terms shall be applied on a country-by-country basis, it being the intention of the parties that the royalty in this Section 3(B) shall only apply if a Curis Patent or Divided Patent either has issued or is being prosecuted in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 3(B) in any one country in which a Product is made, used or sold, having claims that cover the particular making, using, or selling that occurred in such country.

(b) The payment of royalties to Curis on any particular Product shall terminate in each country on the expiration date of the last-to-expire issued Curis Patent or Divided Patent covering such Product in such country.

(c) Amylin may at any time, effective upon providing 30 days prior written notice to Curis, cease to develop, market or sell any Product in a country and delete such Product from the License in such country. Effective as of the date of such notice, all royalties and other fees on such Product in such country shall thereafter cease to accrue.

C. Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof, lists mutually agreed upon performance milestones (“Milestones”) along with the corresponding milestone payments due for completion of each such milestone. Amylin will notify Curis when any Milestone is achieved and pay Curis the milestone payment due within thirty (30) days after achievement of such Milestone. For Milestone Numbers 6 through 8, their respective milestone payments shall only be paid one time for the first Product to achieve such Milestone.

4. Reports And Records.

A. After Amylin commences the Sale of Products, Amylin shall, within sixty (60) days of the end of each calendar quarter, deliver to Curis a report, certified by the chief financial officer of Amylin, that sets forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the royalties due to Curis for such calendar quarter.

B. Royalties payable under Section 3(B) hereof shall be paid within 60 days following the last day of the calendar quarter in which the royalties accrue.

C. Amylin will maintain and cause its sublicensees to maintain, complete and accurate books and records which enable the royalties payable hereunder to be verified. The records for each calendar quarter shall be maintained for three years after the submission of each report under Section 4(A) hereof. Upon reasonable prior notice to Amylin (but in no event less than ten business days), Curis and its accountants shall have access to all books and records relating to the Net Sales of Products by Amylin and its sublicensees to conduct a review or audit thereof. Such access shall be available not more than once each calendar year, during normal business hours, and for each of three years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement; provided that once a calendar year has been audited, it may not thereafter be audited again in that calendar year. If the audit reveals 5% or more under reporting of royalties due Curis, Amylin will pay the audit costs, as well as any additional sum that would have been payable to Curis had Amylin reported correctly, plus 5% interest.

5. Currency, Place Of Payment.

A. All dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are expressed in United States dollars. All payments to Curis under this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars.

B. If Amylin receives revenues from Sales of Products in currency other than United States dollars, revenues shall be converted into United States dollars at the conversion rate used by sublicensees in any agreement with Amylin, or if there is no such agreement, such conversion shall be at the conversion rate for the foreign currency as published in the eastern edition of The Wall Street Journal as of the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter.

6. Confidentiality.

A. Each party agrees to maintain in confidence and not to disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the disclosing party received pursuant to this Agreement and to use such Confidential Information solely for purposes of carrying out its obligations under this Agreement. The receiving party agrees to ensure that its employees and agents have access to Confidential Information only on a need-to-know basis and are obligated in writing to abide by the obligations hereunder. Further, each party agrees to return to the disclosing party tangible materials containing Confidential Information upon the expiration or any earlier termination of this Agreement. The confidentiality obligation under this Section 6 shall remain in effect during the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter. The foregoing obligations shall not apply to any Confidential Information that is:

(i) publicly known prior to disclosure or has become publicly known, without fault on the part of receiving party, subsequent to disclosure hereunder; or

(ii) otherwise known by the receiving party prior to disclosure hereunder or is generated for the receiving party by persons who have not had access to or knowledge of the Confidential Information; or

5

(iii) hereafter received by the receiving party at any time from a source other than the disclosing or its agents, lawfully having possession of such information and under no obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information; or

(iv) required to be disclosed by the receiving party by law, regulation, or court order, in which event the receiving party agrees to promptly notify the disclosing party of such demand prior to such disclosure to give the disclosing party a reasonable opportunity to contest such disclosure and such disclosed information shall remain Confidential Information.

B. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement to third parties, except on a need-to-know basis to assist in fulfilling its obligations or exploiting its rights hereunder (including to sublicensees) or to obtain financing for its efforts, and provided that such third parties are subject to confidentiality provisions no less stringent than those contained herein; provided that a party may issue a press release announcing this Agreement, the text of which is mutually and reasonably agreeable to both parties. If either party deems it necessary to file this Agreement with the United States Securities & Exchange Commission, then the parties shall agree on a redaction of appropriate terms.

7. Term And Termination.

A. This Agreement, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, shall automatically expire upon the expiration of the last to expire or become abandoned of the Curis Patents or Divided Patents, subject to the provisions of Section 7(E) hereof (the “Term”).

B. Amylin shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Agreement at any time, effective upon providing Curis with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice. Upon any such termination by Amylin, Amylin shall:

(i) Cease to make, have made, use and sell all Products in territories where such Products would infringe a valid issued Curis Patent or Divided Patents;

(ii) terminate all sublicenses, and cause all sublicensees to cease making, having made, using or selling all Products in territories where such Products would infringe a valid issued Curis Patent or Divided Patents;

(iii) Pay Curis all unpaid accrued royalties due as of the effective termination date.

C. Either party shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Agreement if the other party:

(i) becomes subject to a Bankruptcy Event; or

(ii) materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach or have in progress a good faith effort to cure within 90 days after receiving written notice thereof from the terminating party.

6

D. If this Agreement is terminated –

(i) by Amylin pursuant to Section 7(C)(ii) above, then the License and any assignments of Divided Patents granted under Section 2(A) shall remain in full force and effect after such termination and become fully paid and royalty-free.

(ii) by Curis pursuant to Section 7(C)(ii) above, then the License granted under Section 2(A) shall terminate and Amylin shall take the same actions as described in Section 7(B) above.

E. The provisions of Section 6; Sections 7(D)-(E), Section 8; Section 9; Section 10; Section 12; Section 13(C) and Section 13(F) shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

8. Patent Prosecution, Maintenance and Transfer.

A. The parties acknowledge that as of the Effective Date, the subject matter of the Curis Patents includes matter necessary or useful for use in the Field as well as outside of the Field. Curis agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to divide such subject matter so that matter that is necessary or useful for use in the Field is included in separate Curis Patents (“Divided Patents”). These commercially reasonable efforts shall include but are not limited to amending or canceling claimed subject matter in Curis Patents such that it falls within or outside of the Field, and requiring any Curis licensee to so amend or cancel, along with whatever efforts are reasonably deemed necessary by Amylin and Curis to avoid prejudice to the Curis Patents. Curis shall keep Amylin appraised of all such efforts to divide subject matter.

B. For those Curis Patents that are divided pursuant to Section 8(A), Curis agrees to promptly assign such Divided Patents to Amylin at Amylin’s expense. Amylin shall control, pay all costs of, and diligently prosecute and maintain all such Divided Patents. Each party shall consider, in good faith, all suggestions and comments of the other party in connection with the prosecution of such Divided Patents. Amylin may, by written notice to Curis, elect to stop paying for the preparation and maintenance of any Divided Patent pertaining to any Product or any uses thereof in any country, in which event, Curis may request re-assignment of that Divided Patent and assume the obligation of maintaining for its own benefit any such Curis Patent. In the event Amylin desires to stop payment for such Divided Patent, Amylin shall provide Curis with at least one months written notice of such election prior to any deadlines that must be met in order to preserve rights in such Divided Patents. When Curis assumes the obligation of maintaining a patent or patent application under this section, Amylin’s license thereunder in such country shall terminate.

C. For those Curis Patents that are not divided pursuant to Section 8(A), Curis shall control and diligently prosecute and maintain all such Curis Patents, subject to Amylin’s right to receive copies of all official filings and prosecution correspondence, and Amylin shall have the right to review and approve all materials associated with such prosecution. Each party shall consider, in good faith, all suggestions and comments of the other party in connection with the prosecution of such Curis Patents. All prosecution and maintenance costs incurred in connection with the Curis Patents shall be shared equally by the parties, provided however (i) if Curis grants a license to a third party under the Curis Patents for use in fields other than the Field, Amylin shall pay its pro rata portion (i.e., based upon the number of parties who have rights under such Curis Patents) of all prosecution and maintenance costs incurred. Amylin may, by written notice to Curis, elect to stop paying for the

7

preparation and maintenance of any Curis Patent pertaining to any Product or any uses thereof in any country, in which event, Curis may assume the obligation of maintaining for its own benefit any such Curis Patent. When Curis assumes the obligation of maintaining a patent or patent application under this section, Amylin’s license thereunder in such country shall terminate. If Curis, upon providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Amylin, elects to discontinue the prosecution and maintenance of any Curis Patent, then Curis shall assign and transfer to Amylin, at Amylin’s election, all of Curis’ right, title and interest in and to such Curis Patent.

9. Infringement And Litigation.

X. Xxxxx and Amylin are each responsible for notifying each other promptly of any infringement of any Curis Patent and Divided Patent which may come to their attention, including notice to the other of any certification filed under the United States “Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984.” Curis and Amylin shall consult with one another in a timely manner concerning any appropriate response thereto.

B. Amylin shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute such infringement at its own expense. Amylin shall not settle or compromise any such suit in a manner that imposes any obligations or restrictions on Curis or grants any rights to the Curis Patents, without Curis’ written permission which consent will not be unreasonably withheld after due consideration of Curis’ policies pertaining to intellectual property. Financial recoveries from any such litigation will first be applied to reimburse Amylin for its litigation expenditures with additional recoveries being paid to Amylin, subject to a royalty due Curis based on the provisions of Section 3 hereof.

C. Such rights of Section 9(B) shall be subject to the continuing right of Curis to intervene at Curis’ own expense and join Amylin in any claim or suit for infringement of the Curis Patents. Any consideration received by Amylin in settlement of any claim or suit shall be shared between Curis and Amylin in proportion with their share of the litigation expenses in such infringement action.

D. If Amylin fails to prosecute such infringement, Curis shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute such infringement at its own expense. In such event, financial recoveries will be entirely retained by Curis.

E. In any action to enforce any of the Curis Patents or Divided Patents, either party, at the request and expense of the other party shall cooperate to the fullest extent reasonably possible. This provision shall not be construed to require either party to undertake any activities, including legal discovery, at the request of any third party except as may be required by lawful process of a court of competent jurisdiction.

10. Representations; Disclaimer Of Warranty; Indemnification.

X. Xxxxx represents and warrants to Amylin that (i) it has the right to enter into this Agreement and grant the licenses described herein. Curis further represents and warrants that it does not own or control any patents or patent applications other than those listed on Exhibit A with subject matter pertaining to the use of PYY in the Field.

D. The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim or action giving rise to Liabilities subject to the provisions of the foregoing sections. The indemnifying party shall have the right to defend or settle any such claim or action, at its cost and expense. If the indemnifying party fails or declines to assume the defense or settlement of any such claim or action within 30 days after notice thereof, the indemnified party may assume the defense or settlement of such claim or action for the account and at the risk of the indemnifying party, and any Liabilities related thereto shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall pay promptly to the indemnified party any Liabilities to which the foregoing indemnity relates, as incurred. The indemnification rights of any indemnified party contained herein are in addition to all other rights which such indemnified party may have at law or in equity or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnifying party may use one law firm to defend the interests of the indemnifying party and all indemnified parties unless it is determined by the law firm defending the indemnifying party, that a conflict of interest actually exists between the indemnifying party and any or all of the indemnified parties. In such event, the indemnifying party shall pay for one law firm for all indemnified parties as a group, and nothing herein shall require the indemnifying party to pay for the services of more than one law firm to represent any or all of the indemnified parties. Any indemnified party may retain its own counsel at its own expense.

B. Nothing herein shall be deemed to establish a relationship of principal and agent between Curis and Amylin, nor any of their agents or employees for any purpose whatsoever. This Agreement shall not be construed as constituting Curis and Amylin as partners, or as creating any other form of legal association or arrangement which would impose liability upon one party for the act or failure to act of the other party.

13. Rights in Bankruptcy.

All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Curis are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The parties agree that Amylin, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Curis under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Amylin will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and same, if not already in its possession, will be promptly delivered to Amylin (i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon its written request therefore, unless Curis elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, following the rejection of the Agreement by or on behalf of Curis upon written request therefore by Amylin.
