exercising the rights granted in Section 2.1(a).

**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |

(b) Spectrum retains the right under the Licensed Intellectual Property to develop and commercialize any formulation including Apaziquone that is not a Licensed Product in the Allergan Territory. Provided that Spectrum is not in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, on written request by Spectrum, Allergan agrees to negotiate in good faith for a reasonable period the terms of a commercially reasonable royalty-bearing license under the Allergan Solely Developed Know How and Allergan’s rights under the Joint Intellectual Property for Spectrum to develop and commercialize any formulation including Apaziquone that is not a Licensed Product in the Allergan Territory.
(c) If the Parties cannot agree on the royalty rate and scope of the license grant terms of such commercially reasonable royalty-bearing licenses (in Section 2.4 (a) or (b), or in Section 2.5(b)(iii)(A) or Section 13.2(c)(i)) within a reasonable period of time, either Party may initiate, and the Parties shall jointly submit to, binding arbitration in California, and the sole issues to be submitted to arbitration shall be the royalty rate and scope of the license grant. Upon conclusion of such arbitration, the Parties agree to effect the arbitrator’s order which shall be binding.
2.5 Spectrum Additional Limitations.
(a) Spectrum will not conduct clinical trials in the Field of Use with any formulation including Apaziquone in the Allergan Territory, other than for the Licensed Product in the Field of Use under this Agreement.
(b) If Spectrum desires to develop or commercialize any Licensed Product for use outside the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory the following shall apply:
(i) prior to Spectrum initiating any clinical trial using a Licensed Product for use outside the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory (such as ****), Spectrum will notify Allergan in writing (the “Option Notice”) detailing such proposed use and will provide Allergan with any data (including Spectrum’s then current development plan and budget) then possessed by Spectrum on such Licensed Product for such use in such indication (such Licensed Product for such use in such indication is the “Option Product”);
(ii) Allergan may, at its option, choose to co-develop and co-promote such Option Product with Spectrum by delivering to Spectrum written notice within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Option Notice. If Allergan elects to co-develop and/or co-promote such Option Product with Spectrum, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a written agreement (the “Option Product Agreement”) covering the following:
(A) the terms for development and/or commercialization of such Option Product;
(B) a committee structure for the oversight of the development, marketing and commercialization of the Option Product, with similar decision-making rules as those in effect under this Agreement; and
**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
4
(C) cross licenses under the Allergan Solely Developed Know How, Licensed Intellectual Property and Allergan’s rights in the Joint Intellectual Property to develop and commercialize such Option Product under similar terms to those set forth in this Agreement.
(iii) If Allergan chooses not to co-develop and co-promote such Option Product with Spectrum (as indicated by Allergan’s delivery of written notice to Spectrum rejecting such rights, or failure to make an affirmative election within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Option Notice), or the Parties fail to enter into an Option Product Agreement, then Spectrum will have the right to pursue the development and commercialization of such Option Product for the scope described to Allergan in the Option Notice on its own and at its own expense (by itself or with a Third Party, subject to Section 2.5(b)(iv)), and the following will apply:
(A) Allergan agrees to negotiate in good faith for a reasonable period the terms of a commercially reasonable royalty-bearing license under the Allergan Solely Developed Know How and Allergan’s rights under the Joint Intellectual Property for Spectrum to develop and commercialize the Option Product for use outside the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory (any disagreement shall be subject to binding arbitration pursuant to the terms of Section 2.4(c));
(B) Spectrum shall not use any Trademark that is the same as, or similar to (so as to cause confusion in consumers), the Acquired Trademarks or any other Trademark used by Allergan or its Affiliates in Spectrum’s development or commercialization of the Option Product;
(C) Spectrum will package the Option Product in a manner that will not be confused with the Licensed Product in the Field of Use, and will label such Option Product as “not for bladder cancer treatment”; and
(D) Spectrum will not promote, market, sell or distribute such Option Product for use in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, and will use diligent efforts to prevent and curb any use of such Option Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, including meeting the requirements set forth in Sections 2.7(a) and (d).
(iv) If Allergan opts out of developing and/or commercializing an Option Product under subsection (iii) or the Parties fail to enter into an Option Product Agreement, and Spectrum or any of its Affiliates desires to commence development or commercialization of such Option Product with a Third Party (excluding any Affiliate of Spectrum) (“Proposed Transaction”), then the following shall apply:
(A) the terms of the Proposed Transaction under which Spectrum (or its Affiliate) contracts with such Third Party may not be more favorable to such
**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
5
Third Party, taken as a whole, than the terms applicable to Allergan last offered to Spectrum by Allergan; and
(B) if Spectrum (or its Affiliate) does not execute a definitive agreement for the Proposed Transaction with a Third Party within nine (9) months following the date that Allergan opts out under subsection (iii) or the Parties’ terminated negotiation of an Option Product Agreement, then Spectrum (or its Affiliate) shall be obligated to comply with this Section 2.5(b) again prior to entering into a Proposed Transaction with a Third Party (i.e., Spectrum (or its Affiliate) shall deliver a new Option Notice under Section 2.5(b)(i) and update its data delivery, and recommence the option process with Allergan).
For clarity, if Allergan opts out of developing and/or commercializing an Option Product under subsection (iii) or fails to make an affirmative election within ninety (90) days after the receipt of an Option Notice, or the Parties fail to enter into an Option Product Agreement, then Spectrum may then commence a clinical trial of the Option Product for use outside the Field of Use. Spectrum acknowledges and agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will use this process to circumvent the intent of this Section 2.5(b).
2.6 Additional Restrictions.
(a) For the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending **** after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, Allergan will not develop or commercialize any formulation including Apaziquone, except as a Licensed Product in the Field of Use, without Spectrum’s written consent. It shall not be a breach of this subsection to the extent that: (A) there is a Change in Control of Allergan and the acquirer of Allergan’s stock or other securities or all or substantially all of the assets or any integral part of any Allergan, at the time of acquisition, is developing or commercializing itself or through its Affiliates any formulation that includes Apaziquone outside the Field of Use; or (B) Allergan directly or indirectly, including through an Affiliate, acquires or purchases the stock or other securities or all or substantially all of the assets or any integral part of any Third Party which at the time of acquisition is developing or commercializing itself or through its Affiliates any formulation that includes Apaziquone outside the Field of Use.
(b) Except for Spectrum’s performance obligations hereunder, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (i) an Allergan Trigger Date (hereinafter defined), or (ii) **** after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, Spectrum and its Affiliates shall not, by license or otherwise, research, develop, make, use, market, sell, distribute or otherwise commercialize any Antineoplastic (hereinafter defined) in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory. It shall not be a breach of this subsection to the extent that: (A) there is a Change in Control of Spectrum and the acquirer of Spectrum’s stock or other securities or all or substantially all of the assets or any integral part of Spectrum, at the time of acquisition, is developing or commercializing itself or through its Affiliates an Antineoplastic in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory; or (B)

(d) If the foregoing restrictions in subsections (b) and (c) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the restriction shall be automatically converted into a covenant under which the applicable Party shall have the right of first negotiation to license the rights covered by the restrictions in subsection (b) and (c) prior to their use or disposal of such rights by the Party that would otherwise be in breach of subsection (b) or (c), upon commercially reasonable terms.
(e) The following terms have the meanings set forth next to them when used in this Section 2.6:

(c) The Parties acknowledge that, during the term of the Co-Promotion Agreement, the Parties have different financial arrangements in the Co-Promotion Region than in the Royalty Territory. During the term of the Co-Promotion Agreement, Allergan shall use substantially similar efforts to the efforts Allergan uses with other Allergan prescription products to monitor the sales of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Royalty Territory in order to minimize the quantity of Licensed Product in the Field of Use that is sold in the Royalty Territory with a view to diversion for final sale in the Co-Promotion Region. The failure to stop such diversion shall not be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. During the term of the Co-Promotion Agreement, if there is any change in government policies in the Allergan Territory that materially affects the ability to move Licensed Product in the Field of Use from the Royalty Territory into the Co-Promotion Region, the Parties will meet to discuss in good faith the effect of such changes on diversion.
(d) If any formulation containing Apaziquone sold by Spectrum, its Affiliates or sublicensees (the “Spectrum Product”) is used in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, Spectrum shall pay to Allergan royalties on the actual sales of such Spectrum Product resulting in such use at the rate of ****; provided, however, that, if, in any country in the Allergan Territory, the use of such Spectrum Product in the Field of Use accounts for **** or more of the use of any of Allergan’s Licensed Product in the Field of Use in such country, then Spectrum will pay to Allergan royalties on Spectrum’s Royalty-Bearing Net Sales of all such Spectrum Product sold in such country (regardless of the indication in which it is used) at the rate of ****.
2.8 Delivery Obligations of Spectrum. Spectrum shall promptly disclose, in writing, to Allergan all material Licensed Intellectual Property relevant to the license grants set forth herein that is developed, conceived or reduced to practice during the Term of this Agreement by Spectrum and its Affiliates, whether solely or jointly with Allergan, and shall make available to Allergan all Spectrum employees involved in the development of such Licensed Intellectual Property, during normal business hours, as may be reasonably requested by Allergan to assist Allergan in understanding such deliveries.
2.9 Delivery Obligations of Allergan. Upon agreement to the royalty-bearing licenses described in Sections 2.4, 2.5 and/or Section 13.2(c)(i), Allergan shall promptly disclose, in writing, to Spectrum all applicable material Allergan Solely Developed Know How and material Joint Intellectual Property licensed to Spectrum, and shall make available to Spectrum all Allergan employees involved in the development of such material Allergan Solely Developed Know How and material Joint Intellectual Property, during normal business hours, as may be reasonably requested by Spectrum to assist Spectrum in understanding such deliveries.

The Parties acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, Spectrum has engaged for development purposes the subcontractors listed on Schedule 3.2(f)(i), and Allergan hereby consents to Spectrum’s right to continue to use such subcontractors. If not already provided in the agreements with such subcontractors, Spectrum will use commercially reasonable efforts to amend such agreements so that Spectrum will have the right to assign such agreements to Allergan in the event Allergan assumes the responsibility for the development of the Licensed Product, and to provide Allergan with the same audit and inspection rights as those provided in Section 5.9. The subcontractors and their contracts as of the Effective Date are identified on Schedule 3.2(f)(i), except for the hospitals or similar institutions operating as a site for clinical trials if they are not providing broader services such as collecting or managing data from other sites (the “Clinical Trial Institutions”). All Clinical Trial Institutions, as of the Effective Date, are identified on Schedule 3.2(f)(ii). Spectrum shall update Schedules 3.2(f)(i) and 3.2(f)(ii) each Fiscal Quarter with the then-current development subcontractors.
3.3 Manufacturing Obligations.
(a) Obligations. The Parties shall perform their respective obligations pertaining to manufacturing and supply set forth in the joint supply plan (“JSP”); provided, however, that Allergan shall have the right to take over Spectrum’s role under the JSP at any time with written notice to Spectrum. The initial JSP (for clinical trials supply and validation batches) forms part of the JDP attached as Schedule 3.1(a). The Parties acknowledge that all modifications to the JSP must be agreed upon by the Parties, and that neither Party may unilaterally modify the JSP. Any modified JSP shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the JSP, Spectrum agrees to have manufactured and supplied to Allergan all of Allergan’s requirements for the Licensed Product for clinical development under the terms of this Agreement. Spectrum agrees to have manufactured and supplied to Allergan all of Allergan’s requirements for the Licensed Product for commercial use pursuant to an amended JSP reflecting commercial supply and a mutually agreed upon supply agreement as contemplated by Section 3.3(d).
(b) Subcontracting. Spectrum may meet its obligations to supply the Licensed Product to Allergan hereunder through subcontracts with Third Parties, subject to the following requirements:
(i) Spectrum may not subcontract the performance of any services or sublicense any rights set forth in this Section 3.3 to any sublicensee/subcontractor without Allergan’s prior written permission. Allergan may, in its sole discretion, disapprove of any sublicensee/subcontractor; provided, however, that, Allergan hereby gives its written consent to the use of the following manufacturers as subcontractors pursuant to the terms of the contracts set forth on Schedule 3.3(b) (such contracts, the “Spectrum Manufacturing Agreements”). Within a reasonable time after the Effective Date, Spectrum will use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Spectrum Manufacturing Agreements so that such agreements are assignable to Allergan (without

14
further consent of a Third Party), provide Allergan with the same audit and inspection rights as those set forth herein, ensure that the quality standards of such agreements are no less stringent than those determined by the JSC pursuant to Section 3.3(d) below, and ensure that such sublicensee/subcontractor complies with all applicable regulatory obligations and applicable Law;
(ii) Spectrum will supervise each sublicensee/subcontractor’s performance of the services and compliance with the terms of this Agreement;
(iii) All fees, costs, and other expenses relating to each sublicensee/subcontractor shall be deemed Development Costs as set forth in the JDP prior to the First Commercial Sale of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use, and after the First Commercial Sale of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use shall be set forth in the supply agreement, and both shall be calculated without any surcharge for any sublicensee/subcontractor fees;
(iv) Spectrum must enter into a written agreement with each sublicensee/subcontractor engaged by Spectrum after the Effective Date obligating such sublicensee/subcontractor to comply with Spectrum’s obligations under the applicable terms of this Agreement, including the quality standards determined by the JSC pursuant to Section 3.3(d), and that the sublicensee/subcontractor will comply with all applicable regulatory obligations. Each such agreement shall be at least as protective of Allergan’s rights as the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and subordinate thereto. Spectrum shall require that Allergan be a third party beneficiary to each such agreement, and that all such agreements be assignable to Allergan. Spectrum shall provide Allergan with a copy of each executed agreement with each sublicensee/subcontractor permitted hereunder;
(v) Spectrum will not retain (even if approved by Allergan) any sublicensee/subcontractor in any country where doing so would violate any applicable Laws, including due to embargoes or other restrictions;
(vi) Spectrum acknowledges and agrees that, except and to the extent that Allergan assumes Spectrum’s manufacture obligations under Section 3.3(f), Allergan has no obligations under this Agreement to any such sublicensee/subcontractor and no sublicensee/subcontractor has any rights or remedies against Allergan hereunder (except where such agreements are assigned to Allergan hereunder); and
(vii) Allergan has the right but not the obligation to directly pay the sublicensee/subcontractor for any manufacturing and supply services it performs on Spectrum’s behalf and to include the amount of such payment in the calculation of Development Costs under this Agreement prior to the First Commercial Sale of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use or as covered in the supply agreement after the First Commercial Sale of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use.

15
(c) Allergan Cooperation. Allergan acknowledges that Spectrum does not possess manufacturing facilities and that Spectrum’s ability to perform its obligations under this Section 3.3 depends on the timely engagement of manufacturing subcontractors which Spectrum is obligated to engage hereunder. Allergan agrees to cooperate with Spectrum in the establishment of a commercial supply chain for the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory and agrees not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to the selection of subcontractors or the approval of contracts.
(d) Specifications; Additional Terms. The current specifications for the drug substance, drug product and diluent of the Licensed Product (“Specifications”) are attached hereto as Schedule 3.3(d). Subject to Section 4.6(b), Schedule 3.3(d) can only be amended by written agreement of the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that the Specifications will be updated and finalized by the Parties as part of the Regulatory Approval in the Co-Promotion Region and the EU. If and to the extent that Spectrum ships any Licensed Product to Allergan, each shipment shall be in accordance with Allergan’s written instructions and applicable Laws governing the shipment, labeling and packaging of such Licensed Product. Prior to the production of Licensed Product under this Agreement, the Joint Supply Committee shall determine the quality standards applicable to the manufacture of the Licensed Product. At least two (2) years prior to the Anticipated Approval Date, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith, and enter into, a separate written supply agreement which will provide for the manufacture and supply of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use on terms mutually acceptable to the Parties. The supply agreement between the Parties shall contain:
(i) terms consistent with provisions customarily found in agreements for the manufacture and supply of commercial quantities of products of a similar nature, including provisions relating to timing and size of production orders, shipping, certificates on delivery, risk of loss, inspection and acceptance, timing of invoices and payments, failure to supply, remedies for breach of representations and warranties;
(ii) the transfer price for all such Licensed Product, which shall be the actual cost of manufacturing, which shall include the actual charges from Third Parties for testing, packaging, freight, insurance and exporting the Licensed Product, but excluding any of Spectrum’s overhead or general and administrative costs;
(iii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 11.11 for the commercial supply of Licensed Product in the Field of Use (unless the Parties mutually agree to modify such provisions); and
(iv) the indemnification and disclaimers and limitations on liability as set forth in Article 12 for the commercial supply of Licensed Product in the Field of Use (unless the Parties mutually agree to modify such provisions).
(e) Supply Agreement Mediation. The Parties acknowledge that timely negotiation of a mutually-agreeable supply agreement will be critical to the ability to launch the Licensed

16
Product. If at any time more than ninety (90) days after the commencement of negotiation of such agreement, either Party believes such negotiations have reached an impasse, such Party may by written notice to the other Party cause a meeting of the Vice President of Global Technical Operations of Allergan and the Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum to seek to resolve such impasse. Such meeting shall be held within twenty (20) days following such written notice. If, following such meeting of senior executives, either Party believes an impasse still exists, then such Party may by written notice cause the Parties to engage in a non-binding mediation of their differences over the proposed agreement. Unless the Parties otherwise agree at the time, such mediation, including the selection of the mediator, shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The fees and costs of the mediator shall be borne equally by the Parties, regardless of the outcome of the mediation. If the Parties cannot agree through mediation to the terms of the supply agreement, then Spectrum will enable Allergan by assigning the Spectrum Manufacturing Agreements to Allergan in addition to transferring to Allergan the validated process for manufacturing and the other items set forth in subsection (f) below.
(f) Right to Terminate. Allergan may terminate Spectrum’s responsibility to have manufactured and supplied Licensed Product to Allergan for sale in the Allergan Territory under this Agreement at any time with prior written notice. Such termination shall be effective thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice, or such later date, at Allergan’s sole discretion, as necessary to complete transition to another manufacturer or to Allergan. Termination of Spectrum’s manufacture and supply obligation shall not relieve the Parties of any amounts owing between them. On termination of Spectrum’s manufacture and supply obligation, Spectrum shall provide to Allergan a copy of all of the then-current Know How Controlled by Spectrum necessary or useful for the manufacture of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use, shall make its manufacturing personnel available for reasonable consultation with Allergan regarding the processes for Licensed Product manufacture, and shall provide all other technical transfers of all parts of the validated process for the Licensed Product in the Field of Use, including Documents and other regulatory items. Subject to the terms of the Spectrum Manufacturing Agreements, Spectrum shall assign to Allergan, and Allergan shall assume responsibility under, all of Spectrum’s supply subcontracts for the Licensed Product applicable to the Field of Use. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith the transition of Spectrum’s sourcing of Licensed Product from such Third Party (for example, bifurcating the supply agreement). After termination of Spectrum’s manufacturing and supply obligations as set forth herein, Allergan shall be responsible for all supply and manufacture of Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, including fulfilling such subcontract agreements from the applicable date of assignment. After Allergan terminates Spectrum’s manufacturing rights and responsibilities under this Section 3.3(f), to the extent that such rights and responsibilities are transferred to Allergan, Spectrum shall have no further performance obligation under this Section 3.3, and Allergan shall thereafter be responsible for compliance with the product quality representations set forth in Section 11.11 for Licensed Product manufactured for sale in the Co-Promotion Region, with any costs of non-compliance with such representations to be borne by Allergan and not included within allowable expenses.

The strategy for the commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region during the term of the Co-Promotion Agreement shall be described in a comprehensive plan that describes the pre-launch, launch and subsequent commercialization activities (including advertising, education, planning, marketing, sales force training and allocation) (the “Joint Marketing Plan” or “JMP”), as follows:
(i) An initial JMP setting forth the Parties’ agreement on the pre-launch commercial planning activities and the budgeting relating thereto for the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region, is attached to this Agreement as Schedule 3.4(b)(i). At least twelve (12) months prior to the Anticipated Approval Date, the Parties shall finalize the portion of the initial JMP setting forth the launch activities for the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region and the budget relating thereto, and develop and finalize a follow-on JMP that governs the post-launch activities for the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region, as well as the budget relating thereto, and such JMP shall be subject to the approval of the JMC.
(ii) Following the launch of the Licensed Product, on or before November 1 of each Fiscal Year during the Term of this Agreement, the Parties shall create an updated JMP detailing activities for the following Fiscal Year. The initial JMP and follow-on JMPs shall generally conform to the level of detail utilized by Allergan in preparation of its own product commercialization plans, with the overall objectives of maximizing the economic value of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region and of providing Spectrum a meaningful role in the commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region. The JMP shall be deemed Confidential Information of both Parties, and each Party shall use the JMP for the sole purpose of performing or monitoring commercialization activities for the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region. From time to time as reasonably necessary during the term of commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region, the JMC may update the JMP.

Further, in the case of a Development Trigger that also constitutes an uncured material breach hereunder, Allergan shall have the right to seek all available rights and remedies to it, under law or equity (including injunctive relief against such breach or to enforce the right granted to Allergan hereunder, except the Standard Development Trigger Reduction), for such material breach by Spectrum that is not cured as set forth in Section 13.3(a) hereof and the amount of milestone payments not yet paid to Spectrum as of such time under Section 6.2(a) shall be reduced by **** (the “Material Breach Development Trigger Reduction”). The Material Breach Development Trigger Reduction shall be a remedy in lieu of, but not in addition to, the Standard Development Trigger Reduction remedy to Allergan. For clarity, the occurrence of a Development Trigger alone shall not automatically invoke the Material Breach Development Trigger Reduction, unless the event giving rise to such Development Trigger itself constitutes an uncured material breach of Spectrum’s obligation hereunder that is not cured as set forth in Section 13.3(a) hereof. In addition, the express options set forth in this Agreement available to Allergan in the event of a Development Trigger shall not be construed to limit Allergan’s other rights and remedies in the event such occurrence of a Development Trigger also constitutes an uncured material breach under this Agreement by Spectrum.
6.3 Sales Milestone Payments.
(a) Milestones. Subject to Sections 6.3(c) and 6.4(e), Allergan shall pay to Spectrum sales milestone payments within sixty (60) days of the end of the Fiscal Quarter in which the following milestones have been met:

(ii) for the next **** of Royalty-Bearing Net Sales earned for Royalty-Bearing Product sold in the Royalty Territory in the same Fiscal Year, Allergan shall pay Spectrum a royalty at the rate of **** of such Royalty-Bearing Net Sales;
(iii) for the next **** of Royalty-Bearing Net Sales earned for Royalty-Bearing Product sold in the Royalty Territory in the same Fiscal Year, Allergan shall pay Spectrum a royalty at the rate of **** of such Royalty-Bearing Net Sales; and
(iv) for any additional Royalty-Bearing Net Sales earned for Royalty-Bearing Product sold in the Royalty Territory in the same Fiscal Year, Allergan shall pay Spectrum a royalty at the rate of **** of such Royalty-Bearing Net Sales.

**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
32
(b) Base Rate for the Co-Promotion Region. If the Co-Promotion Agreement is terminated (subject to Section 10.2(c)), then for sales of Royalty-Bearing Product sold in the Co-Promotion Region following such termination of the Co-Promotion Agreement, during the Royalty Term, Allergan shall also pay to Spectrum as earned royalties on sales of Royalty-Bearing Product in the Co-Promotion Region at the following royalty payments:
(i) for the first **** of Royalty-Bearing Net Sales earned for the Royalty-Bearing Product sold in the Co-Promotion Region in a Fiscal Year, Allergan shall pay Spectrum a royalty at the rate of **** of such Royalty-Bearing Net Sales;

(iv) for any additional Royalty-Bearing Net Sales earned for Royalty-Bearing Product sold in the Co-Promotion Region in the same Fiscal Year, Allergan shall pay Spectrum a royalty at the rate of **** of such Royalty-Bearing Net Sales.
(c) Calculations. Notwithstanding the terms of subsections (a) and (b) above:
(i) no royalty payments shall be due for Royalty-Bearing Product which are sold and returned as defective, unusable, rejected by a purchaser or for which neither Allergan nor any of its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees receives payment, and to the extent royalties have already been paid prior to such circumstances being made apparent, Allergan may credit such amounts previously paid against future royalties due;
(ii) there shall only be a single payment of royalties at the amounts set forth in this Section 6.4 to Spectrum payable on any sale of Royalty-Bearing Product, regardless of the number of patent applications or patents which are involved; and
(iii) no royalty payments shall be due for Royalty-Bearing Product which are used or provided to others by Allergan, its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees solely for promotion (without consideration), research, conducting clinical trials, demonstration, evaluation, testing or training purposes.
(d) No Patent Protection. If any Royalty-Bearing Product is sold in a country in the Allergan Territory in which (i) there is no Patent Protection, (ii) there is no Regulatory Exclusivity, and (iii) a Generic Product exists, then the royalty rates set forth in Sections 6.4(a) and (b) for such Royalty-Bearing Product shall be ****. “Generic Product” means, with respect to a Royalty-Bearing Product in the Field of Use in a particular country in the Allergan Territory, another pharmaceutical product that: (x) contains as an active ingredient Apaziquone;
**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
33
and (y) is approved for use in such country (pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 355(b)(2), an ANDA, a separate NDA, compendia listing, other drug approval application or otherwise, including foreign equivalents of the foregoing, as applicable). “Patent Protection” means, in the country of sale in the Allergan Territory, that at least one of the claims of an issued and unexpired patent included within the Licensed Intellectual Property which would be infringed by the sale of the Royalty-Bearing Product in that country is in effect, and has not been revoked or held unenforceable or invalid by a final decision of a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction having authority over said patent and that final decision is not appealed or unappealable (all claims are considered valid until so adjudicated and during prosecution of a patent application containing such claims) and is sufficient to prevent a Generic Product from being sold in such country. “Regulatory Exclusivity” means market exclusivity granted by a Governmental Authority designed to prevent the entry of Generic Product(s) onto the market in the Field of Use, including new chemical entity exclusivity, new use or indication exclusivity, new formulation exclusivity, orphan drug exclusivity, pediatric exclusivity and 180-day generic product exclusivity. The foregoing shall not apply for sales in the Co-Promotion Region as long as the Co-Promotion Agreement is in effect.
(e) Royalty Term. Allergan’s royalty obligations under Sections 6.4(a) and (b) shall commence on the First Commercial Sale of a Royalty-Bearing Product and expire, on a country-by-country basis, on the date which falls on the later of the following conditions (the “Royalty Term”):
(i) the expiration or earlier invalidation of all of the: (A) patents in the Licensed Intellectual Property issued as of the Effective Date claiming the composition of matter of, the formulation of, or the method of making or using, Royalty-Bearing Product in the Field of Use in such country; and (B) other patents in the Licensed Intellectual Property issued after the Effective Date but prior to the **** anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of a Royalty-Bearing Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region which are: (I) issued prior to entry of a Generic Product in the country; (II) of sufficient breadth to block the entry of Generic Products in the country; and (III) claim the composition of matter of, the formulation of, or the method of making or using, Licensed Product in the Field of Use in such country (except for the Original Patent Rights, such patents covered by this subsection are “Extension Patents”);
(ii) the **** anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of such Royalty-Bearing Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region; or
(iii) the expiration of all Regulatory Exclusivity covering such Royalty-Bearing Product in the Field of Use in such country.
After the expiration of the Royalty Term in a particular country, but only if Allergan has fulfilled its payment obligations under this Article 6 in such country: (x) the licenses set forth in Section 2.1 in such country shall be deemed fully-paid up, perpetual and royalty-free; (y) Allergan may use such licenses in such country perpetually without additional royalties and
**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
34
milestone payments due; and (z) such licenses in such country shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement regardless of cause.
6.5 Royalty Payment Schedule. Within five (5) business days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter during which a Royalty-Bearing Product in the Field of Use is sold by Allergan, its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees in the Royalty Territory, Allergan shall provide to Spectrum the estimated royalty payment calculation for Spectrum to complete its quarterly accounting close. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter during which a Royalty-Bearing Product in the Field of Use is sold by Allergan, its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees in the Royalty Territory, Allergan shall deliver to Spectrum a detailed report, which shall include at least: (a) the net quantity sold, total sales, total to net deducts, and Royalty-Bearing Net Sales of Royalty-Bearing Product in the Field of Use for which royalties are due hereunder that it has sold in the prior Fiscal Quarter; (b) the calculation in U.S. dollars of royalty payments due hereunder with respect to such sales; and (c) the total due hereunder for such Fiscal Quarter, including deduction for any offsets. Simultaneously with the delivery of each such report, Allergan shall pay to Spectrum the amount specified in Section 6.5(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Royalty-Bearing Net Sales also include Sublicensee Net Sales of Royalty-Bearing Product (including under Sections 6.3 and 6.4), Allergan shall have additional time as reasonably necessary to provide Spectrum with the information relating to such Sublicensee Net Sales of Royalty-Bearing Product in the foregoing report and payment or to determine whether the sales milestones have been met and subsequently make payments therefor.
6.6 Development Costs. Except as set forth in the Co-Promotion Agreement, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter beginning January 1, 2009, and occurring each Fiscal Quarter thereafter, the Parties agree to pay the Development Costs for the development and Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use as follows: Allergan shall be responsible for sixty-five percent (65%) of Development Costs incurred by Spectrum and Allergan in performing their obligations hereunder, and Spectrum is responsible for thirty-five percent (35%) of the Development Costs incurred by Spectrum and Allergan in performing their obligations hereunder. Within the first five (5) business days of each Fiscal Quarter commencing on January 1, 2009, Allergan shall pay Spectrum quarterly in advance Allergan’s share of the estimated Development Costs which Spectrum is estimated to incur for such Fiscal Quarter (as set forth in the JDP). On a monthly basis the Parties agree to discuss the Development Costs incurred in the previous month and review tracking of actual Development Costs to estimated Development Costs. The Parties shall reconcile their respective applicable Development Costs, and will deliver to the other Party, by the third business day after the new Fiscal Quarter, the backup requested by such other Party to complete such other Party’s quarterly accounting close. The estimate provided by each Party on the third business day shall be materially correct as regards actual Development Costs incurred. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, Allergan will provide Spectrum with an invoice representing thirty-five percent (35%) of the Development Costs incurred by Allegan during the previous Fiscal Quarter and Spectrum will process a payment to Allergan within thirty (30) days following receipt of this invoice. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, Spectrum shall perform a true-up to determine its
**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
35
actual Development Costs incurred during the previous Fiscal Quarter. If the true-up reflects actual Development Costs incurred in excess of advances previously made by Allergan, Spectrum will provide Allergan with an invoice representing the excess and Allergan will process a payment to Spectrum within thirty (30) days following receipt of this invoice. If the true-up reflects actual Development Costs incurred less than advances previously made by Allergan, Spectrum will reduce their next quarterly advance from Allergan by the amount of the shortfall. Spectrum shall bear all Development Costs for development of the Licensed Product incurred prior to January 1, 2009. In the event of a Development Trigger after which Allergan delivers notice to Spectrum under Section 10.1 for Allergan to take over development, all of the Development Costs incurred by Allergan in performing the development and Regulatory Approval services itself shall also be borne by the Parties in the ratio(s) set forth in this Section 6.6.
6.7 Currency of Payments. All payments under this Agreement will be made in U.S. dollars by electronic funds transfer to such bank accounts as each Party may designate from time to time, or by check. When Royalty-Bearing Product is sold for monies other than U.S. dollars, the exchange rate shall be determined based on the average daily exchange rate calculated by averaging the closing daily rate between the country in which the Royalty-Bearing Product was sold and the U.S., as obtained from Bloomberg or equivalent successor (absent manifest error therein), on a monthly basis during the Fiscal Quarter that Allergan records the sale for accounting purposes.
6.8 Budget. Each Party shall spend the amount specified as required to be budgeted by such Party for performance of their obligations hereunder, as set forth in the applicable JDP, JSP and JMP. Each Party shall account for FTEs assigned to such Party under the JDP, pre-launch JMP or JSP at the FTE Rate.
6.9 Books; Records. During the Term and for three (3) years thereafter, the Parties shall keep and maintain at their respective regular places of business complete and accurate books, records and accounts in accordance with the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or other accounting standards mandated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in sufficient detail to reflect all amounts required to be paid under this Agreement, as well as any other books, records or accounts required to be maintained in connection with the Licensed Product under any applicable Law. Prior to destroying any books, records or accounts which are material to the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement, a Party must seek prior written consent from the other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
6.10 Audits. During the Term and for three (3) years thereafter, each Party (including a firm of certified public accountants engaged for such purpose) shall have access to and the right to examine such relevant records and accounts that the other Party is required to maintain pursuant to Section 6.9 at such other Party’s premises for the sole purpose of verifying the payments owing such Party hereunder; provided, however, that any such examination: (a) shall be at the auditing Party’s expense; (b) shall be during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice which shall in no event be less than five (5) business days; and (c) shall not

36
unreasonably interfere with such other Party’s operations and activities. Neither Party may re-audit the other Party’s records once audited. All information reviewed during any such examination shall be treated as Confidential Information of the other Party. The audited Party shall promptly pay the auditing Party any underpayment discovered in the course of such audit, together with interest at the rate specified in Section 6.15 accrued from the date due until paid. Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, if the audit uncovers an underpayment that is more than five percent (5%) of the amount payable for the period subject to such audit, the audited Party shall reimburse the auditing Party for its out-of-pocket expense of such audit.
6.11 Offset. Either Party shall be entitled to offset from any payment due to the other Party under this Agreement any amounts due from the other Party and/or its Affiliates which such other Party fails to pay, including Indemnifiable Amounts (defined in Section 6.14 below). In the event of any offset under this Section, the Party making such offset shall provide receipts of payment of any withheld amounts or other Documents reasonably available to it in support of such offset.
6.12 Stacking.
(a) If, in order to make or have made, use, conduct clinical trials for, sell, offer for sale, have sold, import, export, or otherwise exploit a Final Licensed Product in the Allergan Territory, it is necessary for Allergan to take a royalty-bearing license under Intellectual Property Rights owned by a Third Party (excluding an Affiliate of Allergan), Allergan may deduct such amounts from amounts due hereunder; provided, however, that Spectrum shall have the first right to negotiate such Third Party license, provided that, if Spectrum does not obtain such license on a timely basis in view of the timeline and circumstance of the development and/or commercialization of the Licensed Product at such time, then Allergan shall have the right, upon ten (10) business days prior written notice to Spectrum, to obtain such license itself under reasonable terms.
(b) To the extent that subsection (a) does not apply, if the Parties obtain and/or maintain a license under Intellectual Property Rights owned by a Third Party (excluding an Affiliate of Allergan) in order to make, have made, use, conduct clinical trials for, sell, offer for sale, have sold, import, export, or otherwise exploit the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, then, except as provided in Section 6.14, payments made to such Third Party in exchange for the practice of such license by Allergan in the Allergan Territory shall be borne by Allergan, provided, however, that Allergan may deduct **** of the royalty payments to such Third Party from its payments due to Spectrum hereunder, including under the Co-Promotion Agreement, provided that such payments shall not reduce the royalties due to Spectrum under Section 6.4 by more than ****.
6.13 Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that withholding taxes apply with respect to any amounts due by Allergan hereunder, Allergan shall be entitled to withhold from any payment due to Spectrum under this Agreement any taxes that Allergan is required to pay and such withholding shall decrease by an equivalent amount the

37
payment due to Spectrum. Allergan shall provide Spectrum with notification of any anticipated withholding requirements with as much advance notice as practicable and shall cooperate in good faith with Spectrum to legally minimize such withholding taxes. Allergan will timely pay to the proper governmental authority the amount of any taxes withheld and will provide Spectrum with an official tax certificate or other evidence of tax obligation, together with proof of payment from the relevant governmental authority sufficient to enable Spectrum to claim such payment of taxes.
6.14 Spectrum’s Obligations. Spectrum shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay, any royalties or other payments due under the ****, the **** or any other license to the Licensed Intellectual Property existing as of the Effective Date. No royalties and other payments borne exclusively by Spectrum under this Section 6.14 shall be considered as a cost or expense under any JDP, JSP or JMP budget. Further, no Indemnifiable Amounts due under this Agreement shall be considered as a cost or expense, as part of any JDP, JSP or JMP budget. “Indemnifiable Amounts” as it is used herein means any amount payable to the other Party by way of an indemnification clause under this Agreement or other indemnification.
6.15 Late Payment. If a Party does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to such Party from the due date until the date of payment at a rate equal to LIBOR, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, plus one percent (1%) or the maximum rate allowable by applicable law, whichever is less.

(c) subject to the licenses granted herein during the Term of this Agreement, the Joint Intellectual Property shall be owned jointly by the Parties in accordance with joint ownership interests of co-inventors under United States patent and copyright laws, with each Party owning an undivided half interest in such Joint Intellectual Property, with the right to exploit and license such intellectual property without the duty of accounting to the other Party or seeking consent from the other Party.

Allergan and Spectrum shall consult in good faith with each other prior to any filings or other actions before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and other offices with respect to the patents and patent applications in the Licensed Intellectual Property (including the Joint Intellectual Property), including any continuations, and the Parties shall jointly make all decisions pertaining thereto. Allergan may request Spectrum to obtain patent protection for Licensed Intellectual Property (including the Joint Intellectual Property) and, if so requested, Spectrum shall cooperate and diligently file, prosecute and maintain such rights. Upon request, Spectrum shall promptly provide Allergan and its counsel with copies of all relevant documentation so that Allergan may be informed and apprised of the continuing prosecution of the patents and patent applications in the Licensed Intellectual Property (including the Joint Intellectual Property). In the event that Spectrum decides not to prosecute, or otherwise to abandon, a patent or application therefor relating to the Licensed Intellectual Property (including the Joint Intellectual Property) in a country in which it is required to do so, Spectrum shall send Allergan written notice of said decision at least ninety (90) days in advance of the action or payment due date.

39

In the event that Allergan takes over the prosecution and maintenance of the applicable patents and patent applications in the Licensed Intellectual Property (including the Joint Intellectual Property), Allergan may deduct Spectrum’s share of the Patent Expenses (defined below) from any amounts due hereunder, provided, however, that if Spectrum assigns such patent or application in such jurisdiction to Allergan, then Allergan shall bear the Patent Expenses for such patent or application at its sole expense.
(c) Patent Expenses. “Patent Expenses” means the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and payments to Third Parties incurred after the Effective Date in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications and patents included in the Licensed Intellectual Property (including the Joint Intellectual Property) that cover the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory or its manufacture or use (including the costs of patent interference and opposition proceedings). Except as set forth in subsection (b), all Patent Expenses incurred for the protection of market exclusivity in the Allergan Territory shall be ****. Spectrum shall deliver to Allergan within sixty (60) days of the end of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Patent Expenses were incurred by Spectrum an accounting of all such Patent Expenses.

40
(i) Allergan may, but shall be under no obligation to, unilaterally take, at its expense, any court or administrative action to enforce any suspected or actual infringement or other unauthorized use of the Licensed Intellectual Property (including the Joint Intellectual Property and including responding to Paragraph IV patent certifications) in the Allergan Territory. If Allergan takes such enforcement action, Spectrum may elect to join as a party in that action at Spectrum’s expense, provided that if Allergan does not have standing without Spectrum joining the action, Spectrum shall join the action at Allergan’s expense and hereby consents to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by the relevant courts.
(ii) If Allergan fails to commence enforcement of a court or administrative action within ninety (90) days following the earlier of: (A) Allergan becoming aware of such matter at the level of direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer of Allergan; or (B) written request by Spectrum for Allergan to do so, then Spectrum may, but shall be under no obligation to, in its own name, and at its own expense, commence any court or administrative enforcement action Spectrum deems necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if there is a deadline to take that court or administrative action, then, at least one (1) week prior to such filing deadline, Allergan shall either commence such enforcement action or give written notice to Spectrum that it has declined to do so. If Spectrum commences such enforcement action and Spectrum requests Allergan to join as a party to that action, Allergan shall join as a party to that action at Spectrum’s expense and hereby consents to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by the relevant courts.
(iii) If Allergan commences any such enforcement action, Allergan shall have the exclusive right to employ counsel of its own selection and to direct and control the litigation or any settlement thereof; provided, however, that Allergan shall not, without obtaining Spectrum’s prior written consent, settle any such actions in any way that would limit Spectrum’s rights in the Licensed Intellectual Property (including the Joint Intellectual Property). Allergan may reimburse itself for **** of the reasonable costs and expenses it incurs in enforcing any such action that relates to Licensed Product in the Allergan Territory by deducting such amounts from the royalties and milestone payments due to Spectrum hereunder. To the extent Allergan is paid any settlement amount or awarded damages, costs or expenses, Allergan may first apply such settlement or award to reimburse itself for all remaining reasonable costs and expenses it incurred in enforcing the action and Spectrum for all costs and expenses paid or deducted as set forth above (each Party shall receive such amounts on a pro rated basis). Any amount remaining after this reimbursement shall result in a payment to ****, calculated by applying the ****. However, if the Co-Promotion Agreement has not been terminated, for infringement in the Co-Promotion Region, the Parties shall ****.
(iv) If Spectrum commences any such enforcement action, Spectrum shall have the exclusive right to employ counsel of its own selection and to direct and control the litigation or any settlement thereof; provided, however, that Spectrum shall not, without obtaining Allergan’s prior written consent, settle any such actions in any way that

41
would limit Allergan’s rights hereunder. Spectrum may reimburse itself for **** of the reasonable costs and expenses it incurs in enforcing any such action that relates to Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory by deducting such amounts from any payment due to Allergan, by including such amount in its calculation of PSMM to be reimbursed by Allergan, or, after the profit share arrangement has been terminated, by providing Allergan with an invoice therefor, which Allergan shall pay within thirty (30) days of its receipt. To the extent Spectrum is paid any settlement amount or awarded damages, costs or expenses, Spectrum may first apply such settlement or award to reimburse itself for all remaining reasonable costs and expenses it incurred in enforcing the action and Allergan for all costs and expenses paid or deducted as set forth above (each Party shall receive such amounts on a pro rated basis).

A Party entitled to be indemnified under Sections 12.1 or 12.2 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any Claim which the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, including the Co-Promotion Agreement. Failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of any such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any such duty to so indemnify except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of the Indemnified Party against any such Third Party Claim, utilizing counsel chosen in the Indemnifying Party’s sole discretion; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any such defense, at its own expense, by separate counsel of its choice; provided further, that any such participation shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s right to control such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party: (a) shall not be entitled to have
**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
53
sole control over any Third Party Claim that seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party; and (b) shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before ceasing to defend against any Third Party indemnification Claim or entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Claim involving injunctive or similar equitable relief being asserted against any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the provision of any such defense by providing to the Indemnifying Party all such information, assistance and authority as may reasonably be requested by the Indemnifying Party.
12.4 Allocation of Product Liability Risks. The Parties hereby agree that all Losses arising out of a Claim(s) by a Third Party (other than an Affiliate of either Party) asserted against a Party, its Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents that result from, arise out of or relate to an allegation that personal injury or death, or any damage to any property, was caused or allegedly caused by any Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory used or sold by or on behalf of either Party or their respective Affiliates or sublicensees, except to the extent such Claim is attributable to a matter covered under Section 12.1 or 12.2, shall be allocated between the Parties as follows: (a) within the Co-Promotion Region so long as the Parties continue to share product profit, **** (Spectrum: Allergan) and (b) in all other cases in the Allergan Territory, **** (Spectrum: Allergan). The Parties shall indemnify each other so as to allocate the Losses according to the preceding ratios. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any Claim which could give rise to the rights set forth in this Section 12.4. Failure to promptly notify the other Party of any such claim shall not relieve the other Party of any such duty to so indemnify except to the extent that the other Party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.
(a) Allergan shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of any such Third Party Claim, utilizing counsel chosen in Allergan’s sole discretion (with the costs and expenses incurred by Allergan included in the calculation of the Losses subject to the ratio above); provided, however, that Spectrum may participate in any such defense, at its own expense (outside the ratios set forth above), by separate counsel of its choice; provided further, that any such participation shall not limit Allergan’s right to control such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Allergan shall obtain the prior written approval of Spectrum before: (i) ceasing to defend against any such Third Party Claim (if Allergan elects to defend an action and, then, after commencement of the defense decides to no longer defend); and (ii) entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim or demand involving injunctive or similar equitable relief being asserted against Spectrum or its Affiliates or an admission of liability by Spectrum or its Affiliates. Spectrum shall cooperate with Allergan in the provision of any such defense by providing to Allergan all such information, assistance and authority as may reasonably be requested by Allergan.
(b) If Allergan does not initiate the defense of such Third Party Claim within sixty (60) days receiving such Claim, then Spectrum shall have the right to control such defense utilizing counsel chosen in Spectrum’s sole discretion (with the costs and expenses incurred by Spectrum included in the calculation of the Losses subject to the ratio above). In such event,
**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
54
Allergan may participate in any such defense, at its own expense (outside the ratios set forth above), by separate counsel of its choice; provided further, that any such participation shall not limit Spectrum’s right to control such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Spectrum shall obtain the prior written approval of Allergan before: (i) ceasing to defend against any such Third Party Claim (if Spectrum elects to defend an action and, then, after commencement of the defense decides to no longer defend); and (ii) entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim or demand involving injunctive or similar equitable relief being asserted against Allergan or its Affiliates or an admission of liability by Allergan or its Affiliates. Allergan shall cooperate with Spectrum in the provision of any such defense by providing to Spectrum all such information, assistance and authority as may reasonably be requested by Spectrum.

12.5 Infringement Remedies. Without limiting Spectrum’s other obligations set forth herein, in the event that the development, manufacturing, marketing, use, sale, import, export, distribution or any other exploitation of the Final Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, or the use of Licensed Intellectual Property in connection therewith, is alleged to violate, infringe upon or misappropriate the Intellectual Property Rights of any Third Party, Spectrum shall, at its expense, obtain a license from such Third Party and shall have the first right to negotiate with such Third Party for such license, provided, however, that, if Spectrum does not obtain such license on a timely basis given the timeline and circumstance of the development and/or commercialization of the Final Licensed Product at such time, then Allergan shall have the right to, upon written notice to Spectrum, obtain such license itself under reasonable terms, and, if Allergan and Spectrum cannot obtain a license, Spectrum shall indemnify Allergan for any Losses arising in relation thereto.
12.6 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR BREACH BY EITHER PARTY OF SECTIONS 2.6(a), (b) OR (c), OR ARTICLE 9, OR SPECTRUM’S REVOCATION OF ALLERGAN’S EXCLUSIVE AGENT STATUS UNDER SECTION 5.1(a)(ii), IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE CO-PROMOTION AGREEMENT, OR FOR ANY AMOUNTS REPRESENTING LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, WHETHER THE BASIS OF THE LIABILITY IS BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTES, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER SUCH FIRST PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR NOT. THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES ARE NOT INTENDED TO LIMIT THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER TO THE EXTENT THAT THE THIRD PARTY (OTHER THAN ANY AFFILIATE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY) CLAIMS COVERED BY SUCH OBLIGATIONS INCLUDE THE TYPE OF DAMAGES THAT ARE EXCLUDED HEREUNDER.

MISCELLANEOUS
14.1 Relationship of Parties. The relationship of the Parties established by this Agreement is solely that of independent contractors, and nothing shall be deemed to create or imply any employer/employee, principal/agent, partner/partner or co-venturer relationship, or that the Parties are participants in a common undertaking. Except as permitted in Section 5.1(a) regarding Allergan’s role as authorized agent, neither Party shall have the right to direct or control the activities of the other Party or incur, assume or create any obligation, representation, warranty or guarantee, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party or bind such other Party to any obligation for any purpose whatsoever.

14.2 Force Majeure Event.
(a) Neither Allergan nor Spectrum shall be considered in default in performance of their obligations hereunder to the extent that performance is delayed, hindered or prevented by a Force Majeure Event, but only to the extent and only for the period that its performance of such obligations is prevented by the Force Majeure Event. “Force Majeure Event” means any event or condition, not existing as of the date of this Agreement, not reasonably foreseeable as of such date and not reasonably within the control of the affected Party, which prevents in whole or in material part the performance by the affected Party of its obligations hereunder or which renders the performance of such obligations so difficult or costly as to make such performance commercially unreasonable, including without limitation riots, civil or military disturbances, war, strikes, lockouts, labor slowdowns or stoppages, prolonged shortage of energy supplies, epidemics, fire, flood, hurricane, typhoon, earthquake, lightning, and explosion. The Party claiming relief under this Section 14.2 shall promptly notify the other Party in writing, but in no event later than ten (10) calendar days of the occurrence, should any such cause arise and shall promptly take steps to remedy any delay or failure in performance upon removal of the circumstances causing such delay or failure. In no event shall any Party be required to prevent or settle any labor disturbance or dispute. For clarity, the Development Trigger shall not be extended by reason of this Section 14.2.
(b) During the period that the performance by one of the Parties of its obligations under this Agreement has been suspended by reason of a Force Majeure Event, the other Party may likewise suspend the performance of all or part of its obligations hereunder to the extent that such suspension is commercially reasonable.
14.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Schedules (including the Co-Promotion Agreement) attached hereto and incorporated as an integral part of this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any way.
14.4 No Waiver; Amendment. No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be valid or binding on any Party unless agreed to in writing by the Party to be charged. No course of dealing between or among any Persons having any interest in this Agreement shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Person under or by reason of this Agreement. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the failure to require at any time performance by the other Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the validity of either Party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by the written agreement of the Parties.
14.5 Partial Invalidity. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision
**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
61
of this Agreement is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisions shall remain, nevertheless, in full force and effect. The Parties agree to renegotiate in good faith, or request the court to rewrite, any term held invalid and to be bound by the mutually agreed substitute provision in order to give the most approximate effect intended by the Parties.
14.6 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their Affiliates and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Spectrum and its Affiliates may not assign any rights or delegate any duties under this Agreement to any Third Party without the prior written consent of Allergan, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that Spectrum may freely assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of Spectrum if Spectrum guarantees the performance of such Affiliate. Spectrum may also freely assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder as part of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Spectrum, or sale of the business of Spectrum or the business relating to activities under this Agreement, without Allergan’s consent. Allergan may freely assign its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of Allergan; provided, however, that Allergan guarantees the performance of such Affiliate. Allergan may also freely assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder as part of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Allergan, or sale of the business of Allergan or the business relating to activities under this Agreement, without Spectrum’s consent. All other assignments of this Agreement by Allergan shall be subject to Spectrum’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
14.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to rules of conflicts or choice of laws, except that the federal law of the United States of America shall apply to question regarding the validity, infringement or enforceability of United States federal patent, copyright and trademark rights relating in any way to this Agreement. The Parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the state or federal courts (as applicable) in New York.
14.8 Remedies. The exercise of any remedies hereunder shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies available to such Party at law or in equity.

Exhibit A
Profit Split and PSMM Share Process
Prior to the launch of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region, each Party will share equally in the PSMM incurred by the Parties. During this time, each Party will be responsible for their share of the PSMM and by the third day of each Fiscal Quarter, each Party will deliver to the other Party a report itemizing the total PSMM incurred by such Party in the prior Fiscal Quarter. Each Party shall then deliver a check, within thirty (30) days, to the other Party reimbursing the other Party for 50% of the PSMM incurred by the other Party in the prior Fiscal Quarter.
After the launch of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region, Spectrum will deliver to Allergan an invoice by the third day of each Fiscal Quarter itemizing its aggregate PSMM for the Licensed Product for the prior Fiscal Quarter. Allergan shall then deliver a check, within thirty (30) days, to Spectrum reimbursing Spectrum for the PSMM incurred by Spectrum in the prior Fiscal Quarter. Allergan shall aggregate the amounts specified on Spectrum’s invoice with Allergan’s aggregate PSMM for the Licensed Product for the prior Fiscal Quarter, and will deduct the total from the Licensed Product’s Gross Margin from the prior Fiscal Quarter to yield a product profit or loss. Each Party will share equally in this profit or loss, when there is a profit Allergan will pay Spectrum 50% of the profit and when there is a loss Spectrum will reimburse Allergan 50% of the loss (except as set forth in Sections 2.2(g), (h), and (i)). Allergan will complete and distribute the analysis within thirty (30) days after the end of the prior Fiscal Quarter. The Party responsible to make payment based on such analysis will do so within thirty (30) days of issuance of such analysis.

Example of Royalties
If, in Fiscal Year One, Allergan earns **** in Royalty-Bearing Net Sales from Royalty-Bearing Product sales in the Royalty Territory, Spectrum would be due royalties as follows:
(i) **** x **** = ****.
So, the total royalties due Spectrum for Fiscal Year One would be ****.
If, in Fiscal Year Two, Allergan earns **** in Royalty-Bearing Net Sales from Royalty-Bearing Product sales in the Royalty Territory, Spectrum would be due royalties as follows:
(i) on the first **** of the ****, Spectrum would be due **** x **** = ****; and
(ii) on the next **** of the ****, Spectrum would be due **** x **** = ****.
So, the total royalties due Spectrum for Fiscal Year Two would be **** + **** = ****.
If, in Fiscal Year Three, Allergan earns **** in Royalty-Bearing Net Sales from Royalty-Bearing Product sales in the Royalty Territory, Spectrum would be due royalties as follows:
(i) on the first **** of the ****, Spectrum would be due **** x **** = ****;
(ii) on the next **** of the ****, Spectrum would be due **** x **** = ****; and
(iii) on the next **** of the ****, Spectrum would be due **** x **** = ****.
So, the total royalties due Spectrum for Fiscal Year Three would be **** + **** + **** = ****.
