3.1 Overview. Collaborator shall Develop Products in the Licensed Territory as provided in this Article 3 and in accordance with the Development Plan, which shall set forth all Development activities to be performed by Collaborator under this Agreement, including without limitation such activities as may be required by the Regulatory Authorities in the Licensed Territory for Regulatory Approval of Products for use in the Initial Indications in the Licensed Territory, and any additional activities necessary for any Product to meet the requirements of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia or any other listings that are necessary or helpful for obtaining Price Approval for such Product in the Initial Indications in the Licensed Territory (such additional activities, "Required Studies"). Affymax shall complete all [*] regarding the Product that are listed on Exhibit G, at its own cost, risk and responsibility and shall provide Collaborator the data obtained therein as provided in Section 4.1(a). Collaborator shall bear all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with any of the activities performed by the Collaborator pursuant to the Development Plan.

3.2 Development Plan. An initial Development Plan has been agreed upon by the Parties and is attached hereto as Exhibit H and incorporated herein by reference. From time to time, either Party may submit to the Joint Committee for discussion any proposed modifications to the Development Plan, and the Joint Committee shall discuss such proposed modifications at its next meeting, and any such modification may be approved by the Joint Committee as provided in Section 2.4. The Development Plan shall, at all times, contain the following information for the Product for both of the Initial Indications in the Licensed Territory:

(a) scope and timelines for Collaborator's performance of all studies (including any Required Studies) designed to support Regulatory Approval of the Product in the Licensed Territory, including without limitation, clinical trial protocols, additional preclinical tests (including any and all carcinogenicity and toxicology studies), Finished Product stability studies, enrollment numbers and filing submission dates;

(b) estimated dates of meetings with Regulatory Authorities in the Licensed Territory for such Product;

(c) Collaborator's forecasts of its needs for preclinical or clinical supply of such Product and/or Bulk Hematide; and

(d) target dates for achieving milestones in Developing such Product.

3.3 Principles of Product Development. Collaborator's Development of the Product in the Initial Indications in the Licensed Territory shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the following principles:

(a) using Diligent Efforts to seek a Regulatory Approval that includes a label for such Product as broad as reasonably possible;

(b) using Diligent Efforts to seek a product profile for such Product with maximum scope of recommended usage and minimum scope of restrictions on use, in each case to the extent reasonably possible;

(c) using Diligent Efforts to obtain Regulatory Approval for such Product consistent with (a) and (b) in a timely manner; and

(d) using Diligent Efforts not to unreasonably adversely impact Affymax's or its Third Party Partner's own Development or Commercialization efforts for Products in the Affymax Territory, including without limitation, and where reasonably practicable, using and filing in the Licensed Territory regulatory filings that are equivalent to all XXXx and related filings for Products that are provided by Affymax pursuant to Section 4.2, to ensure that all Collaborator's filings and specifications for Products in the Licensed Territory remain consistent, as far as reasonable, with those for the relevant Products in the Affymax Territory.

3.4 Collaborator's Performance. Collaborator shall devote Diligent Efforts to the Development of the Product in the Field and in the Licensed Territory, consistent with the then-agreed Development Plan, and in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation by using Diligent Efforts to perform its obligations under the Development Plan and in accordance with the regulations promulgated by the MHLW for the manufacture, testing and

Commercialization of pharmaceutical products in the Licensed Territory. Collaborator shall provide financial and other support for the Development of the Product as necessary to carry out the Development Plan and to achieve the objectives of this Agreement. Collaborator shall conduct its activities under the Development Plan in good scientific manner and in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws, including without limitation applicable GCP, GLP, and GMP. Collaborator may not conduct any material Development activities with respect to any Product that are not set forth in the Development Plan or that are inconsistent with this Agreement without Affymax's prior written consent.

3.5 Records, Reports and Information. Collaborator shall maintain complete, current and accurate records of all work conducted by it under the Development Plan and all data and other Information resulting from such work. Such records shall fully and properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the performance of the Development Plan in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for patent and regulatory purposes. Affymax shall have the right to review such records maintained by Collaborator at reasonable times, upon written request. Collaborator shall provide written reports in English to the Joint Committee on its Development and regulatory activities with Products in the Licensed Territory, including without limitation any significant formal or informal meetings between Collaborator and the Regulatory Authority in the Licensed Territory, on a quarterly basis at the end of each calendar quarter, at a level of detail reasonably sufficient to enable Affymax to determine Collaborator's compliance with its diligence obligation pursuant to Section 3.4.

3.6 Right of First Refusal to Backup Product Developed in the Field. If, during the ten (10) year period following the Effective Date, Affymax or its Third Party Partner develops a potential Backup Product(s) in the Field, Collaborator shall have a right of first refusal to develop and commercialize such Backup Product(s) for the Licensed Territory as provided in this Section 3.6. Upon the initiation of the first Phase II Clinical Trial for such Backup Product(s) in the Field, and before offering to any Third Party rights to such potential Backup Product(s) in the Licensed Territory, Affymax shall notify Collaborator in writing, and shall include in such notification all material results and data with respect to such potential Backup Product(s), for Collaborator's evaluation. Collaborator shall treat such results and data as Affymax's Confidential Information under this Agreement, and shall respond to Affymax within

[*] of receiving such notification whether it desires to exercise its right to negotiate exclusively for the rights to Develop and Commercialize such Backup Product(s) in the Field, in the Licensed Territory. If Collaborator notifies Affymax within such [*] period of its desire to obtain such rights, then Affymax and Collaborator shall negotiate in good faith for [*] the terms and conditions under which Collaborator may obtain such rights. If Collaborator and Affymax enter into an agreement under which Collaborator obtains such rights with respect to certain Backup Product, then such Backup Product(s) shall also be licensed to Collaborator under such agreed terms and conditions. If Collaborator fails to notify Affymax of its desire to obtain such rights within [*] period, or if the Parties, despite good faith negotiation, do not enter into an agreement governing the terms and conditions under which Collaborator may obtain such rights from Affymax within [*] period, then, unless the Parties agree to prolong such period, Affymax shall have the right to pursue such opportunity itself or with an Affiliate or Third Party without any further obligation to Collaborator. This Section 3.6 shall apply on a Backup Product by Backup Product basis. For clarity, if and as far as a Backup Product is developed outside the Field by Affymax and/or its Third Party Partner, then Collaborator shall have no rights under this Section 3.6 with respect to such Backup Product.

If Collaborator determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any Patent within the Collaborator Patents other than a Joint Patent anywhere in the world, then Collaborator shall provide Affymax with thirty (30) days' prior written notice of such determination (or such longer period of time reasonably necessary to allow Affymax to assume such responsibilities) and shall provide Affymax with the opportunity to prosecute and maintain such Patent in the applicable jurisdiction in place of Collaborator at Affymax's sole expense, and if Affymax so requests, Collaborator shall assign such Patent to Affymax (in which case such Patent shall be included in the Affymax Patents). If Affymax desires Collaborator to file, in a particular jurisdiction, a patent application that claims priority from a Patent within the Collaborator Patents, Affymax shall provide written notice to Collaborator requesting that Collaborator file such patent application in such jurisdiction. If Affymax provides such written notice to Collaborator, Collaborator shall either (i) file and prosecute such patent application and maintain any patent issuing thereon in such jurisdiction at Affymax's expense, or (ii) notify Affymax that Collaborator does not desire to file such patent application and provide Affymax with the opportunity to file and prosecute such patent application and maintain any patent issuing thereon at Affymax's sole expense in place of Collaborator, in which case Collaborator shall

assign such patent application described in (ii) to Affymax (and in which case such Patent shall be included in the Affymax Patents).

(c) Joint Patents. With respect to any potentially patentable Joint Invention, the Parties shall meet and agree upon which Party shall prosecute and maintain patent applications covering such Joint Invention (any such patent application and any patents issuing therefrom a "Joint Patent") in particular countries and jurisdictions throughout the world. It is the intention of the Parties that, unless otherwise agreed, Collaborator would prosecute and maintain any Joint Patents in the Licensed Territory, and Affymax would prosecute and maintain the Joint Patents in the Affymax Territory, subject to the Parties coordinating their efforts as appropriate to make such prosecution activities as efficient, convenient and harmonious as possible. The Party that prosecutes a patent application in the Joint Patents (the "Prosecuting Party") shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred with respect to the prosecution of such patent application, except as otherwise provided below. Such Prosecuting Party shall provide the other Party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding the applicable Joint Patents in the particular jurisdictions, and such other Party shall provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such efforts. The Prosecuting Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of all material communications from any patent authority in the applicable jurisdictions regarding the Joint Patent being prosecuted by such Party, and shall provide drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. In particular, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary or desirable to enable the other Party to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority. Except to the extent a particular Party is restricted by the licenses granted to the other Party and/or the other covenants contained in the Agreement, each Party shall be entitled to practice, and grant to Third Parties and its Affiliates the right to practice, the Joint Patents and all Joint Inventions without restriction or an obligation to account to the other Party, and the other Party shall consent, without additional consideration, to any and all such licenses; provided, however, that Collaborator shall not have the right to grant to [*] Territory under any Joint Patents a license to make, use, sell, offer for sale and import [*] in the Affymax Territory. For clarity, Collaborator hereby consents to allow Affymax to grant licenses under the Joint Patents as necessary to Third Parties and to its Third Party Partner to make, use, sell, offer for sale and

import the Product, the [*], the Peptide, any Alternative ESAs or Bulk Hematide, or any other composition of matter that stimulates erythropoiesis activity, in the Affymax Territory, without further consideration from Affymax or such recipient licensee. Either Party may determine that it is no longer interested in supporting the continued prosecution or maintenance of a particular Joint Patent in a country or jurisdiction, in which case: (i) such Party may elect to cease its ownership interest in such Joint Patents and shall, if requested in writing by the other Party, assign its ownership interest in such Joint Patent in such country or jurisdiction to the other Party for no additional consideration, and (ii) thereafter, the electing Party shall be released from any obligations with regard to such Joint Patents and any such Joint Patent would thereafter be deemed a Affymax Patent in the case of assignment to Affymax, or a Collaborator Patent in the case of assignment to Collaborator.

(d) Cooperation in Prosecution. Each Party shall provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation in the Patent prosecution efforts provided above in this Section 9.3, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution.

9.4 Patent Term Extensions in the Licensed Territory. The internal patent counsel of each Party shall discuss and recommend for which, if any, of the Affymax Patents, Collaborator Patents and Joint Patents in the Licensed Territory the Parties should seek Patent Term Extensions in the Licensed Territory, and, Affymax, in the case of the Affymax Patents, and Collaborator in the case of the Collaborator Patents and Joint Patents, shall have the final decision-making authority with respect to applying for any such Patent Term Extensions in the Licensed Territory, and shall act with reasonable promptness in light of the development stage of Products to apply for any such Patent Term Extensions, where it so elects, provided, however, that if in the Licensed Territory only one such Patent can obtain a Patent Term Extension, then the Parties shall consult in good faith to determine which such Patent should be the subject of efforts to obtain a Patent Term Extension, and Affymax's decision on which one Patent shall be extended shall control in the case of a disagreement. The Party that does not apply for an extension hereunder shall cooperate fully with the other Party in making such filings or actions, for example and without limitation, making available all required regulatory data and information and executing any required authorizations to apply for such Patent Term Extension.

All activities of the Parties pursuant to this Section 9.4 for the Licensed Territory shall be at the expense of the Party who owns such extended Patents (in case of Joint Patents, expenses shall be shared equally by the Parties).

9.5 Infringement of Patents by Third Parties.

(a) Notification. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any existing or threatened infringement of the Affymax Patents, Joint Patents or Collaborator Patents of which it becomes aware, and shall provide evidence in such Party's possession demonstrating such infringement.

(b) Infringement of Affymax Patents or Joint Patents in the Licensed Territory.

(i) If a Third Party infringes any Affymax Patent or Joint Patent in the Licensed Territory by making, using, importing, offering for sale or selling the Product, Hematide, [*] or any product containing the Peptide, or [*] (such activities, "Product Infringement"), each Party shall so notify the other Party as provided in Section 9.5(a), which such notice shall include all Information available to the other Party regarding such alleged infringement and Affymax shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such Product Infringement in the Licensed Territory, subject to Section 9.5(b)(ii) below, at its expense. Affymax shall have a period of [*] after such notification to or by Affymax, to elect to so enforce such Affymax Patent or Joint Patent. In the event it does not so elect, it shall so notify Collaborator in writing during such [*] time period, and Collaborator shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable Affymax Patent or Joint Patent against such Third Party perpetrating such Product Infringement at its expense, unless either (i) Affymax demonstrates to the Collaborator in writing a reasonable business basis for not enforcing such Affymax Patents or Joint Patents against such Product Infringement during such time period, in which case Collaborator shall not have the right to so commence such suit or take such action to enforce the applicable Affymax Patent or Joint Patent without Affymax's prior written consent, provided that if such basis is so demonstrated, that the Parties shall re-evaluate upon Collaborator's reasonable request, from time to time, whether such basis

continues to apply or whether at such time Collaborator may exercise such right, or (ii) such infringement suit is to be brought against [*], other than with respect to Affymax Patents or Joint Patents that claim solely Formulation Technology, and commencement of such suit or other legal proceeding in the Licensed Territory is reasonably anticipated by Affymax to result in an outcome that would have a substantially adverse effect on an Affymax Patent or Joint Patent in the Affymax Territory, or on the commercialization, manufacture, use, importation, sale or offer to sell the Product, any Alternative ESA or Bulk Hematide in the Affymax Territory, in which case Collaborator shall not have the right to so commence a suit or take such action to enforce the applicable Affymax Patent or Joint Patent without Affymax's prior written consent. Each Party shall provide to the Party enforcing any such rights under this Section 9.5(b)(i) reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party's request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by applicable Law to pursue such action. The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, and shall reasonably consider the other Party's comments on any such efforts. Each Party shall bear all of its own internal costs incurred in connection with its activities under this Section 9.5(b)(i).

(ii) The Party not bringing an action with respect to Product Infringement in the Licensed Territory under this Section 9.5(b) shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action. Additionally, the Party not bringing an action under this Section 9.5 may have an opportunity to participate in such action to the extent that the Parties may mutually agree at the time the other Party elects to bring an action hereunder.

(c) Infringement of Affymax Patents or Joint Patents in the Affymax Territory.

(i) For any and all infringement of Affymax Patents other than Joint Patents anywhere in the Affymax Territory, Affymax (or its Third Party Partner) shall have the sole and exclusive right to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity

engaged in such infringement of such Patents, in its sole discretion, and as between the Parties Affymax shall bear all related expenses and retain all related recoveries.

(ii) If a Third Party infringes a Joint Patent in the Affymax Territory by Product Infringement activities, Affymax (or its Third Party Partner) shall have the sole and exclusive right to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement of such Patents, in its sole discretion, and as between the Parties Affymax shall bear all related expenses and retain all related recoveries. Collaborator shall provide to Affymax reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at Affymax's request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by applicable Law to pursue such action.

(iii) For infringement of the Joint Patents in the Affymax Territory that is not Product Infringement, the Parties shall confer to determine which Party shall have the first right to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement, and the manner in which they shall bear costs and share related recoveries of such suit or action. The Party that brings such suit or actions (the "Enforcing Party") shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred. The Enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, and shall reasonably consider the other Party's comments on any such efforts. The other Party shall cooperate with the enforcing Party in enforcing Joint Patents against the such infringement. Each Party shall bear all of its own internal costs incurred in connection with its activities with respect to such infringement of such Joint Patents. In the event the Parties are unable to reach agreement upon which Party shall bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement of such Joint Patent within a reasonable time period (i.e., within ninety (90) days), either Party may bring such suit or other actions against such infringement, and notify the other Party of such actions. The other Party shall have the right to participate in such actions upon written notice to the other Party.

(d) Product Infringement of Collaborator Patents (other than Joint Patents) in the Affymax Territory. If a Third Party infringes a Collaborator Patent (other than a Joint Patent) in a country or jurisdiction in the Affymax Territory by Product Infringement

activities, Collaborator shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring, at its own expense and in its sole control, an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement of such Collaborator Patent in the Affymax Territory. If Collaborator does not bring such action within [*] of notification thereof to or by Collaborator, Affymax shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring at its expense and in its sole control, such appropriate action. The Party not bringing an action under this Section 9.5(d) shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action, including by joining such action as a party plaintiff, at the expense of the enforcing Party, if required by applicable Law for the enforcing Party to pursue such action.

(e) Infringement of Collaborator Patents (Other than Joint Patents) in the Licensed Territory. For all infringement of any Collaborator Patents (other than Joint Patents) in the Licensed Territory, Collaborator shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring, at Collaborator's expense and in its sole control, an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement of such Collaborator Patent.

(f) Settlement. Collaborator shall not settle any claim, suit or action that it brings under this Section 9.5 involving Affymax Patents (excluding Joint Patents) in any manner that would negatively impact Affymax Patents anywhere in the world, or that would limit or restrict the ability of Affymax or its Third Party Partner(s) to manufacture, use, sell, offer for sale or import Products anywhere in the world, without the prior written consent of Affymax. Affymax shall not settle any claim, suit or action that it brings under this Section 9.5 involving Collaborator Patents (excluding Joint Patents) in any manner that would negatively impact the Collaborator Patents or that would limit or restrict the ability of Collaborator to sell Products anywhere in the world, without the prior written consent of Collaborator. Neither Party shall settle any claim, suit or action that it brings under this Section 9.5 involving Joint Patents in any manner that would negatively impact the Joint Patents or that would limit or restrict the ability of the other Party to sell Products anywhere in the world, without the prior written consent of such other Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.5, Affymax shall have the right to withhold consent to any settlement that is reasonably anticipated to have a substantially adverse impact upon any Affymax Patent in the Affymax Territory, or the commercialization,

manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of the Product, any Alternative ESA or Bulk Hematide in the Affymax Territory.

(g) Allocation of Proceeds. If either Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party in a suit or action brought under Section 9.5, whether such damages result from the infringement of Affymax Patents, Joint Patents or Collaborator Patents, such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Parties in such litigation (including, for this purpose, a reasonable allocation of expenses of internal counsel), and any remaining amounts shall be, as between Affymax and Collaborator, split as follows:

(i) the portion of any such remaining amounts that represents recovery for infringement in the Licensed Territory shall be allocated [*] to Affymax and [*] to Collaborator; and

(ii) the portion of any such remaining amounts that represents recovery for infringement in the Affymax Territory (other than those obtained pursuant to subsection (c), which shall be the sole property of Affymax) shall be allocated [*] to Affymax and [*] to Collaborator.

9.6 Infringement of Third Party Rights in the Licensed Territory.

(a) Notice. If any Product manufactured, used or sold by either Party, its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party's claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent granted by a jurisdiction within the Licensed Territory relating to the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of Hematide, Peptide, [*] or the Product, the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties shall promptly meet to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action.

(b) Defense. Affymax shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend any such claim, with Affymax's costs to conduct such defense being at Affymax's expense. If Affymax does not commence actions to defend such claim within [*] days after it receives notice thereof (or within [*] days after it should have given notice thereof to Collaborator as required by Section 9.6(a)), then Collaborator shall have the right, but not the

obligation, to control the defense of such claim by counsel of its choice, at Collaborator's expense. The non-defending Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Party conducting the defense of the claim, including if required to conduct such defense, furnishing a power of attorney. The non-defending Party shall have the right to confer with the other Party in any such defense, and may have the right to participate in any such defense to the extent that the Parties, at such time, may mutually agree. The non-defending Party shall also be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, provided that the other Party shall control such defense.

(c) Settlement. Neither Party shall enter into any settlement of any claim described in this Section 9.6 that affects the other Party's rights or interests without such other Party's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Affymax shall have the right to decline to defend or to tender defense of any such claim to Collaborator upon reasonable notice, including without limitation if Collaborator fails to agree to a settlement that Affymax proposes.

(d) Any amounts that either Party becomes obligated to pay as a result of any settlement of or decision rendered in any defense pursuant to this Section 9.6 with respect to the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or import of the Product in or for the Licensed Territory shall be [*] and [*] as provided in Section [*].

9.7 Patent Marking. Collaborator (or its Affiliate, sublicensee or distributor) shall xxxx Products marketed and sold by Collaborator (or its Affiliate, sublicensee or distributor) hereunder with appropriate patent numbers or indicia at Affymax's request to the extent permitted by applicable Law, if such markings or such notices impact recoveries of damages or equitable remedies available with respect to infringements of patents in the Licensed Territory.

9.8 Infringement of Trademarks by Third Parties. With respect to any trademarks associated with Products within the Licensed Territory, each Party shall notify the other Party promptly upon learning of any actual, alleged or threatened infringement of any trademark or of any unfair trade practices, trade dress imitation, passing off of counterfeit goods, or like offenses, against such trademark (hereinafter "TM Infringement"). Collaborator shall have the sole right, in its own discretion and at its own expense, to bring an action to address such TM

Infringement, in which case Collaborator shall retain any damages recovered from the Third Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the trademark at issue is one as to which Collaborator was granted a license by Affymax, then the Parties shall instead proceed as provided in the relevant license agreement between the Parties with respect to such trademark.

9.9 Patent Oppositions and Other Proceedings.

(a) Third-Party Patent Rights. If either Party desires to bring an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, declaration for non-infringement, reexamination or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability of a Patent owned or controlled by a Third Party that covers, in the Licensed Territory, the Peptide, [*] or the Product, or the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of the Peptide, [*] or the Product (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, a Third Party's claim or assertion of infringement under Section 9.6, in which case the provisions of Section 9.6 shall govern), such Party shall so notify the other Party and the Parties shall promptly confer to determine whether to bring such action or the manner in which to settle such action. Affymax shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring at its own expense and in its sole control such action in the Affymax Territory or the Licensed Territory. If Affymax does not bring such an action in the Licensed Territory, within ninety (90) days of notification thereof pursuant to this Section 9.9(a) (or earlier, if required by the nature of the proceeding), then Collaborator shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring, at Collaborator's sole expense and in Collaborator's sole control, such action only within the Licensed Territory. The Party not bringing an action under this Section 9.9(a) shall join the action as a joint party plaintiff if required to enable the other Party to bring such action, and the other Party's expense. Additionally, if appropriate, the Party not bringing an action under this Section 9.9(a) shall be entitled to separate representation in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and shall cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action. Any awards or amounts received in bringing any such action, if any, shall be first allocated to reimburse the Parties' expenses in such action, and any remaining amounts shall be retained by the Party bringing such action.

9.10 Parties' Patent Rights. If an Affymax Patent, Joint Patent or Collaborator Patent becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party within the Licensed Territory in connection with an opposition, reexamination request, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, an action for infringement against a Third Party under Section 9.5, in which case the provisions of Section 9.5 shall govern), then the Party owning or otherwise Controlling such Patent shall control such defense at its sole cost; provided that if such action relates to a Joint Patent, the Parties shall confer and determine which Party shall control such action and bear the associated costs. The controlling Party shall permit the non-controlling Party to participate in the proceeding to the extent permissible under applicable Law, and to be represented by its own counsel in such proceeding, at the non-controlling Party's expense. If either Party decides that it does not wish to defend against such action, then the other Party shall have a backup right to assume defense of such Third-Party action at its own expense. Any awards or amounts received in defending any such Third-Party action, if any, shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 9.5(g) as if the Party conducting such opposition were the Party that brought an action against an alleged infringer.

9.11 Orange Book Listing, Compendial Listing. Upon request of Collaborator, Affymax shall file appropriate information with the Regulatory Authority in the Licensed Territory listing any Affymax Patents in the Orange Book equivalent in the Licensed Territory, if any, as a Patent related to the Product and shall use Diligent Efforts to maintain such listing.

9.12 Registration of Exclusive License. Within a reasonable period of time after the Effective Date, Affymax shall register before the Japan Patent Office that Collaborator is the exclusive licensee under the Affymax Patents pursuant to this Agreement.

9.13 Certain Patent Matters. With regard to [*] set forth in [*] (collectively the [*]), Affymax shall keep [*], and shall [*], to the extent consistent with Affymax's [*].

So long as the Indemnifying Party is actively defending the Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle any such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Claim as provided above, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the claim in any manner the Indemnified Party may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnified Party as provided in this Article 11.

11.4 Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 11.4 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 11.1 OR 11.2, OR DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY'S BREACH OF SECTION 6.4 OR CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS IN ARTICLE 12.

11.5 Insurance. Each Party shall procure and maintain insurance, including product liability and other appropriate insurance, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which

are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated at all times during which any Product is being clinically tested in human subjects or commercially distributed or sold. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party's liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 11. Each Party shall provide the other with written evidence of such insurance upon request. Each Party shall provide the other with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance or self-insurance which materially adversely affects the rights of the other Party hereunder.

ARTICLE 12

CONFIDENTIALITY

12.1 Confidentiality. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, each Party agrees that, for the Term and until the later of (i) [*] of the Effective Date, or (ii) [*] the expiration or termination of the Term, it shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement any Confidential Information furnished to it by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement except for that portion of such information or materials that the receiving Party can demonstrate by competent written proof:

(d) was disclosed to the receiving Party or its Affiliate by a Third Party without obligations of confidentiality with respect thereto; or

(e) was independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party or its Affiliate without the aid, application, or use of Confidential Information of the other Party; provided, however, that this exception shall not apply to information or materials consisting of data and results generated or resulting from Development activities with respect to Peptide, [*], Hematide or the Products, which information and materials shall be deemed Confidential Information of the Party who has developed such information or materials regardless of whether such information and materials were independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party or its Affiliate.

12.2 Authorized Disclosure. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the other Party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following situations:

(a) filing or prosecuting Patents as permitted in this Agreement;

(b) regulatory filings and other filings with Governmental Authorities, including filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

(c) prosecuting or defending litigation;

(d) complying with applicable Laws;

(e) disclosure to its employees, agents, and consultants, and any Third Parties (including licensees or sublicensees with which a Party is Developing or Commercializing Products) only on a need-to-know basis and solely as necessary in connection with the performance of this Agreement, provided that in each case the recipient of such Confidential Information must agree to be bound by similar obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as equivalent in scope as those set forth in this Article 12 prior to any such disclosure; and

(f) disclosure of the material financial terms of this Agreement to any bona fide potential investor, investment banker, acquiror, merger partner, or other potential financial partner (including, if applicable, a Third Party Partner that may or does make an equity investment in Affymax, or a loan to Affymax, in connection with its arrangement with Affymax for Product in the Affymax Territory); provided that in connection with such disclosure, the

disclosing Party shall use all reasonable efforts to inform each disclosee of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall cause each recipient of such Confidential Information to treat such Confidential Information as confidential.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party's Confidential Information pursuant to clause (a) through (d) of this Section 12.2, it shall, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use best efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information. In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder.

12.3 Publicity; Terms of Agreement.

(a) The Parties agree that the material terms of this Agreement are included within the Confidential Information of both Parties, subject to the special authorized disclosure provisions set forth below in this Section 12.3. The Parties have agreed to make a joint public announcement of the execution of this Agreement substantially in the form of the press release attached as Exhibit K on or after the Effective Date.

(b) After release of such press release, if either Party desires to make a public announcement concerning the material terms of this Agreement, such Party shall give reasonable prior advance notice of the proposed text of such announcement to the other Party for its prior review and approval (except as otherwise provided herein), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. A Party commenting on such a proposed press release shall provide its comments, if any, within three (3) business days after receiving the press release for review. Affymax shall have the right to make a press release announcing the achievement of each milestone under this Agreement as it is achieved, and the achievements of Regulatory Approvals in the Licensed Territory as they occur, subject only to the review procedure set forth in the preceding sentence. In relation to Collaborator's review of such an announcement, Collaborator may make specific, reasonable comments on such proposed press release within the prescribed time for commentary, but shall not withhold its consent to disclosure of the information that the relevant milestone has been achieved and triggered a payment hereunder. Neither Party shall be required to seek the permission of the other Party to repeat any information regarding the terms of this Agreement

that has already been publicly disclosed by such Party, or by the other Party, in accordance with this Section 12.3.

(c) The Parties acknowledge that Affymax may be obligated to file a copy of this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Affymax shall be entitled to make such a required filing, provided that it requests confidential treatment of certain commercial terms and sensitive technical terms hereof to the extent such confidential treatment is reasonably available to Affymax. In the event of any such filing, Affymax shall provide Collaborator with a copy of the Agreement marked to show provisions for which Affymax intends to seek confidential treatment and shall reasonably consider and incorporate Collaborator's comments thereon to the extent consistent with the legal requirements governing redaction of information from material agreements that must be publicly filed. Collaborator shall promptly provide any such comments. Collaborator recognizes that U.S. laws and SEC policies and regulations to which Affymax is and may become subject may require Affymax to publicly disclose certain terms of this Agreement that Collaborator may prefer not be disclosed, and that Affymax is, after completing the above mentioned procedures, entitled hereunder to make such required disclosures to the extent legally required.

12.4 Publications. Neither Party may publish peer reviewed manuscripts, or give other forms of public disclosure such as abstracts and presentations, of results of studies carried out under this Agreement with respect to the Licensed Territory, without the opportunity for prior review by the other Party. Each Party shall provide the other Party the opportunity to review and comment on any proposed manuscripts or presentations which relate to any Product at least [*] days prior to their intended submission for publication or presentation. Each Party shall consider the comments of the other Party and shall remove any and all of the other Party's Confidential Information at the request of such other Party. A Party seeking publications shall provide the other Party a copy of the manuscript at the time of the submission. Neither Party shall have the right to publish or present the other Party's Confidential Information without the other Party's prior written consent, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. This Section 12.4 shall not relate to any publications or other forms of public disclosure sought by any Third Party Partner with respect to the Product.

ARTICLE 13

TERM AND TERMINATION

13.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 13, shall remain in effect in the Licensed Territory until the expiration of all of Collaborator's payment obligations under Article 8. Following such expiration, Collaborator shall have a fully paid non-exclusive license under the Affymax Technology to make, have made, use, sell and import Hematide, Peptide, [*] and/or Product in the Licensed Territory, under such trademark as Collaborator has been using in collaboration with the Product, or any other trademark. In addition, in the event Collaborator desires to continue to purchase Bulk Hematide from Affymax, it shall so notify Affymax no later than six 6) months prior to the expiration of this Agreement, and thereafter Affymax shall either (a) continue to supply Bulk Hematide at a cost equal to [*] for a [*] by the Parties, or (b) [*]to manufacture [*], or [*], Bulk Hematide, and in such event [*] related to manufacture of Bulk Hematide, and otherwise [*] continuous supply of Bulk Hematide, including without limitation, providing relevant documents and using diligent efforts to encourage or cause [*] of Bulk Hematide to manufacture and supply to Collaborator such Bulk Hematide [*]. Upon request of Collaborator, Affymax shall provide to Collaborator reasonable access to Affymax's manufacturing personnel to facilitate the foregoing efforts on terms to be agreed upon by the Parties.

13.2 Early Termination.

(a) Withdrawal by Collaborator. Collaborator shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, for any or no reason, in its entirety, upon six (6) months' written notice to Affymax; provided that any such termination shall not be effective prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date; and further provided that Collaborator shall have the right to

[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

terminate this Agreement before the end of such two (2) year period if Product Development efforts by or on behalf of Collaborator are terminated entirely for patient safety concerns or pursuant to a requirement imposed by Regulatory Authorities in the Licensed Territory or by the external monitoring board. If Collaborator terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.2(a), then:

(i) Collaborator shall not, during such six (6) month notice period, take any action that could adversely affect or impair the further Development and Commercialization of Products; and

(ii) the Joint Committee shall coordinate the wind-down of Collaborator's efforts under this Agreement; and

(iii) Collaborator shall continue to be responsible for any payments that become due to Affymax pursuant to this Agreement during such six (6) month notice period.

(b) Termination for Breach. Affymax shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Collaborator if Collaborator, after receiving written notice identifying such material breach by Collaborator, fails to cure such material breach within sixty (60) days from the date of such notice (or within ten (10) business days notice in the event such material breach is solely based upon Collaborator's failure to pay any amounts due Affymax hereunder). Collaborator shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Affymax if Affymax, after receiving written notice identifying a material breach by Affymax of its obligations under this Agreement, fails to cure such material breach within sixty (60) days from the date of such notice. For clarity, if a Party elects not to exercise its rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.2(b) for the other Party's uncured material breach, but instead elects to allow this Agreement to continue in effect, then the breaching Party shall continue to be liable to the other Party for any breach of representations, warranties, obligations or agreements made in this Agreement by such breaching Party, and the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to pursue legal and equitable remedies arising from such breach that are available to it.

13.3 Effect of Termination of the Agreement. Upon termination by Affymax of the Agreement under Section 13.2(b), or upon termination by Collaborator under Section 13.2(a), the following shall apply (in addition to any other rights and obligations under Section 13.4, 13.5 or 13.6 or otherwise under this Agreement with respect to such termination):

(a) Regulatory Materials. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Collaborator shall transfer and assign to Affymax all Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Approvals for Product in the Licensed Territory that are Controlled by Collaborator.

(b) Collaborator License. Collaborator hereby grants to Affymax, effective only in such event, a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free license, with the right to grant multiple tiers of sublicenses, under the Collaborator Technology existing as of the date of termination to develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, and import Bulk Hematide, the [*] and any Products.

(c) Transition Assistance. Collaborator shall, for a reasonable period of time, provide such assistance, at no cost to Affymax, to transfer and/or transition to Affymax all other technology or know-how, or then-existing commercial arrangements, that is, or are, reasonably necessary or useful for Affymax to commence or continue Developing, conducting Finished Manufacturing of or Commercializing Products in the Licensed Territory, to the extent Collaborator is then performing or having performed such activities, including without limitation transferring, upon request of Affymax, any agreements or arrangements with Third-Party suppliers or vendors to supply or sell Products in the Licensed Territory, to the extent practicable. If any such contract between Collaborator and a Third Party for the supply of Bulk Hematide or Finished Product for the Licensed Territory is not assignable to Affymax, then Collaborator shall reasonably cooperate with Affymax to arrange to continue to obtain such supply from such entity, and Collaborator shall supply such Bulk Hematide or Finished Product, as applicable, to Affymax, at a cost [*] (calculated in a manner consistent with the definition of [*]) for a reasonable period. In addition, to the extent that Collaborator or its Affiliate is then manufacturing Bulk Hematide and/or Finished Products for the Licensed Territory, Collaborator shall continue to manufacture, and shall supply to Affymax, at a cost that equals [*] (calculated in a manner consistent with the definition of [*]), such Bulk Hematide and/or Finished

Products for Affymax's use in the Licensed Territory for a reasonable period in order to permit Affymax to establish sufficient manufacturing capacity for Bulk Hematide and/or Finished Product for the Licensed Territory, in addition to that which it had in place for its use in the Affymax Territory. Such period shall be no more than twelve (12) months unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.

(d) Remaining Inventories. Affymax shall have the right to purchase from Collaborator all of the inventory of Bulk Hematide and/or Finished Product held by Collaborator as of the effective date of termination of this Agreement at a price equal to [*]. Affymax shall notify Collaborator within thirty (30) days after the date of termination of the Agreement whether Affymax elects to exercise such right. If Affymax does not exercise such right, then Collaborator shall have the right to sell in the Licensed Territory any such remaining inventory over a period of no greater than six (6) months after the effective date of termination of this Agreement.

For clarity, upon any termination of this Agreement under Section 13.2, the licenses granted to Collaborator under this Agreement shall terminate.

13.4 Other Remedies. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not release any Party from any liability or obligation that already has accrued prior to such expiration or termination, nor affect the survival of any provision hereof to the extent it is expressly stated to survive such termination. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise be deemed to prejudice or adversely affect, any rights, remedies or claims, whether for damages or otherwise, that a Party may have hereunder or that may arise out of or in connection with such termination or expiration.

13.5 Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Affymax are, and shall 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 Collaborator, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall 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 Affymax under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Collaborator shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in Collaborator's possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon Collaborator's written request therefor, unless Affymax elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under clause (a), following the rejection of this Agreement by Affymax upon written request therefor by Collaborator.

13.6 Survival. The following provisions shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for the period of time specified: Articles 1, 11 (to the extent relevant to claims arising from actions or omissions occurring during the Term), 12, 14 (to the extent relevant to disputes arising during the Term) and 15, and Sections 7.6, 8.7, 8.8, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3(c) (except for the proviso of the seventh sentence which relates to the limitation of Collaborator's right to grant licenses under the Joint Patents, which shall survive for two (2) years after any termination by Collaborator under Section 13.2(a) prior to First Commercial Sale of Product in the Licensed Territory for reasons unrelated to patient safety concerns, and which otherwise shall not survive), 10.3, 10.4, 13.3, 13.4, 13.5 and 13.6.

15.2 Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party.

Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party's obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance.

The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

15.9 No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party's rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party's rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

15.10 Independent Contractors. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way.

Hematide, a synthetic peptide-based next-generation erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA), is designed to stimulate the production of red blood cells. It is currently being evaluated in four Phase 2 clinical trials in the United States and Europe to treat anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cancer patients.

Pursuant to the agreement, Takeda will pay to Affymax US$17 million as an up-front payment and will also purchase US$10 million of Affymax's stock. In addition, Affymax is eligible to receive clinical and regulatory milestone payments totaling US$75 million. After the launch of Hematide in Japan, Affymax would receive a double digit royalty on Hematide sales in the territory. Takeda is responsible for all development and commercialization costs in Japan, and Affymax is responsible

for the manufacture and supply of drug substance to Takeda. Takeda then will manufacture the final commercial product for use in Japan.

"With this agreement, Affymax has delivered on a key corporate goal. This major milestone achievement will allow us to focus our own now considerable resources on developing Hematide in the United States and Europe, while Takeda focuses on the significant market in Japan" said Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Affymax's president and chief executive officer. "Takeda is an optimal partner because they have the development experience in this area and commitment necessary to accelerate and successfully develop and commercialize Hematide in Japan."

"Hematide is a novel ESA that is an important product based on the evidence we have observed," said Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Takeda's president and chief operating officer. "We are excited to aggressively move this promising new drug candidate forward to address a very large underserved patient population. I also believe this product will enhance our urological and cancer-related franchises, which we position as part of our core therapeutic areas."

ESAs, which have been used successfully to manage anemia in patients with CKD and cancer-related anemia, represent a $12 billion market worldwide, of which Japan is about $1 billion and growing. ESA therapy has dramatically reduced the need for blood transfusions and the frequency and severity of anemia-associated morbidity, resulting in an improved quality of life for patients.

About Hematide™

Hematide has a completely novel amino acid sequence that is unrelated to erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates red blood cell formation, or to any other known naturally-occurring human sequences. Compared to therapeutic proteins, Hematide has the potential advantages of an uncomplicated chemical synthesis, a simple dosing schedule characterized by once monthly administration, and room temperature storage. In addition, antibodies generated to erythropoietin do not cross-react with Hematide, providing a rationale to study it in patients with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), a rare autoimmune disease caused by development of antibodies to recombinant erythropoietin. A Phase 2 study to evaluate Hematide in PRCA patients is scheduled to begin in early 2006.

Affymax, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company that is developing a rich pipeline of synthetic peptide-based drugs against clinically validated targets for the treatment of kidney diseases and cancer. Hematide, the Company's lead clinical product candidate, is a novel peptide-based drug designed to stimulate red blood cell production currently in Phase 2 trials for the potential treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease and cancer.

SCHEDULE 10.2

1. [*]

2. On June 9, 2004, Affymax filed a civil complaint in the Regional Court Munich I in the Federal Republic of Germany against Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation and Ortho-XxXxxx Pharmaceutical, Inc. of Raritan, New Jersey (collectively "Ortho"). Affymax's complaint alleges that Affymax is an owner of European Patent Application EP 0 892 812 which currently lists Ortho as the sole applicant, and that Affymax should be named as the applicant, or in the alternative co-applicant, of that European application. [*] The case remains pending in Regional Court Munich I.

3. On September 27, 2004, Affymax filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, Ortho-XxXxxx Pharmaceutical, Inc., Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation, and The X.X. Xxxxxxx Pharmaceutical Research Institute d/b/a Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx Pharmaceutical Research and Development (collectively "J&J-Ortho"). Affymax's complaint alleges that J&J-Ortho have applied for and in some cases been granted patents covering subject matter that was invented by Affymax's scientists in connection with a Research and Development Agreement between Affymax and J&J-Ortho ("R&D Agreement"). Affymax alleges that, based on the applicable patent laws and the R&D Agreement, Affymax's scientists should have been identified as inventors on the patents and patent applications, and Affymax should have been granted ownership rights to these patents and patent applications. The complaint also alleges that J&J-Ortho has breached the R&D Agreement and Affymax has suffered certain damages as a result of said breach. Pursuant to the terms of the R&D Agreement, Affymax entered into a period of good faith discussions with J&J-Ortho to resolve, if possible, the dispute between the parties regarding the subject matter of Affymax's civil complaints in the US and Europe. On October 13, 2004, Affymax and J&J-Ortho entered into a standstill agreement in order to facilitate good faith discussions between the parties to resolve the dispute. On March 8, 2005, Affymax and J&J-Ortho entered into an expanded standstill agreement and Affymax filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss without prejudice the civil complaint in the U.S. District Court in Illinois; the motion was granted and the U.S. complaint was dismissed without prejudice and with leave to refile the complaint with the court prior to September 8, 2005. Affymax filed a Motion to Reinstate the U.S. complaint in the U.S. District Court in Illinois on September 8, 2005, and the motion was granted by the court reinstating the case. On October 10, 2005, Affymax filed an Amended Complaint in the US District Court in Illinois amending the names of the Defendants to reflect the current business units of Ortho and deleting certain claims regarding USSN 60/207,654, USSN 09/863,600 and PCT/US01/16654. On November 1, 2005, Ortho filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims to the Affymax complaint. In their filing, Ortho denies all material claims against them raised in the Affymax complaint and pleads counterclaims which include, inter alia, that Ortho should be the sole owner of US Patent 5,986,047 and the joint owner of US Patents 5,773,569 and 5,830,851, all of which are currently assigned to Affymax. In the November 1, 2005 filing, Ortho also states that the case pending in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois should be dismissed and the case decided by binding arbitration as specified in the 1992 agreement between the parties. On November 11, 2005, Ortho filed a motion with the Illinois court to dismiss or stay the US and German litigations and compel the parties to binding arbitration. On December 2, 2005, Affymax filed an Answer to Defendants' Counterclaims which denies all material allegations in defendants' counterclaims. On December 14, 2005, [* ]
