2.	PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

2.1.

Pre-Approval Development. Following the Effective Date and prior to NDA Approval, POZEN shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1, conduct all Development and regulatory activities for the Initial Products up to and including approval of the NDA for the Initial Products, and, [* * *] associated therewith. All such Development shall be conducted in a good scientific manner and in compliance with all Applicable Laws. In furtherance of the foregoing, POZEN shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct and/or supervise any additional Development activities that are a condition to NDA Approval for the Initial Products.

2.1.1.

Pre-Approval Development Budget. POZEN shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses of such additional Development activities (the “Pre-Approval Budget”) that are equal to or less than US$[* * *]. If the Pre-Approval Budget is (1) reasonably determined by POZEN [* * *] or (2) reasonably determined by POZEN [* * *] but later changes and at the time of such change is reasonably determined by POZEN [* * *], then POZEN shall notify Licensee, and the Parties shall together determine in writing, promptly and in good faith, the amount of the Pre-Approval Budget that [* * *]. After the Parties have made such determination, Licensee shall, within sixty (60) days of such determination, either (a) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.6 or (b) subject to Section 2.1.2 below, continue this Agreement and pay any expenses incurred

by POZEN in accordance with this Section 2.1 that [* * *]. If Licensee does not make an election pursuant to the preceding sentence within such sixty (60) day period, Licensee shall be deemed to have elected to continue this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) and pay any such expenses incurred by POZEN in accordance with this Section 2.1 that [* * *].

2.1.2.

Later Changes to the Pre-Approval Budget. If (i) a later change results in the Pre-Approval Budget being reasonably determined by POZEN [* * *] as contemplated by clause (2) above, (ii) such change is not due to any failure by POZEN to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct and/or supervise Third Parties in the conduct of such additional Development Activities in accordance with the Pre-Approval Budget, and (iii) Licensee elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.6, then (x) Licensee shall bear the portion, if any, of such expenses that are (I) [* * *], (II) [* * *], and (III) within [* * *] percent ([* * *]%) above such prior determination of such expenses by POZEN, and (y) POZEN shall bear all other portions of such expenses (e.g., [* * *]). For example, if such determination of such expenses is $[* * *], such expenses later change and are expected to be US$[* * *], such change is not due to any failure by POZEN to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct and/or supervise Third Parties in the conduct of such additional Development Activities in accordance with the Pre-Approval Budget, and Licensee elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.6, then Licensee will bear the portion of such [* * *] expenses [* * *]. For clarity, if any such later change is due to any failure by POZEN to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct and/or supervise Third Parties in the conduct of such additional Development Activities in accordance with the Pre-Approval Budget, and Licensee terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.6, then POZEN shall bear [* * *] expenses related to such additional Development activities. POZEN shall provide Licensee with [* * *] updates on the status of expenses incurred or accrued for Development activities conducted pursuant to this Section 2.1 and any deviations from the Pre-Approval Budget. POZEN shall promptly notify Licensee of any change in the Pre-Approval Budget that would cause POZEN to reasonably determine that the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by POZEN in connection with such Development activities will [* * *].

2.2.

Post-Approval Commitments. Following NDA Approval, in the event that the FDA requires any Post-Approval Commitments, Licensee shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct such Post-Approval Commitments. Licensee and POZEN shall [* * *] any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such Post-Approval Commitments up to an aggregate amount of US$[* * *]. POZEN’s share of the expenses incurred in connection with such Post-Approval Commitments, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not in any case [* * *], shall be [* * *]; provided, that [* * *]; provided, further, [* * *]. If Licensee reasonably determines that the expenses of such Post-Approval Commitments will [* * *] then Licensee shall, within sixty (60) days of NDA Approval of the Initial Products either (a)

terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.7 hereof or (b) agree to pay when due all such expenses that are [* * *] in respect of such Post-Approval Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Licensee cannot reasonably determine whether the costs of such Post-Approval Commitments will [* * *] at the time of receipt of the NDA Approval for the Initial Products, then Licensee will request a meeting with the FDA within thirty (30) days after NDA Approval of the Initial Products to finalize the scope, timing and extent of the Post-Approval Commitments (the “Post-Approval Meeting”), and Licensee’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 2.2 shall be extended until the earlier of (x) ten (10) days following the Post Approval Meeting, or (y) one hundred twenty (120) days following Licensee’s request to the FDA for the Post-Approval Meeting; provided if Licensee does not request a Post-Approval Meeting with the FDA within thirty (30) days of the NDA Approval for the Initial Products, then Licensee’s right to terminate this Agreement shall expire sixty (60) days following NDA Approval for the Initial Products. If Licensee does not make an election within sixty (60) days of the NDA Approval of the Initial Products, or if applicable, pursuant to the preceding sentence following the Post-Approval Meeting, Licensee shall be deemed to have elected to pay all such expenses [* * *] in expenses incurred in respect of such Post-Approval Commitment pursuant to clause (b). Licensee shall provide POZEN with quarterly updates on the status of such out-of-pocket expenses until such time as an aggregate amount of US$[* * *] of such expenses are incurred in connection with Post-Approval Commitments.

2.3.

Post Marketing Approval Transfer Development. Following the Regulatory Filing Transfer, Licensee shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to engage in Development of the Licensed Products anywhere in the world solely for Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Territory; provided, however, that [* * *]. All costs incurred with respect to such elective Development of Initial Products shall be borne by Licensee. Subject to Section 2.2, the elective Development undertaken under this Section 2.3 shall in no event include any Post-Approval Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, POZEN and its licensees (other than Licensee) may, solely for purposes of Commercialization outside the Territory, engage in Development of Licensed Products in the Territory, [* * *].

2.4.

Certain Development Outside the Territory. Prior to the commencement of any clinical study with respect to any Licensed Product outside the Territory (an “Ex-Territory Study”), POZEN shall provide a high-level summary of the protocol(s) for such Ex-Territory Study to Licensee for Licensee’s review and comment. Neither POZEN, nor any of its Affiliates or its licensees (other than Licensee) shall [* * *], except for [* * *]. In any case, POZEN shall provide Licensee with the opportunity to comment [* * *], as the case may be, on the protocol(s) for any Ex-Territory Study as follows: (a) Licensee shall have the right to comment on [* * *], as applicable, any Ex-Territory Study for a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of the applicable summary; (b) POZEN shall review and

consider in good faith any such comments; (c) each such summary provided to Licensee under this Section 2.4 shall constitute Confidential Information of POZEN to the extent that the information provided in such summary satisfies the criteria set forth in Section 12.1, and Licensee shall not use such summary for any purpose other than for its review of the applicable Ex-Territory Study; and (d) if Licensee fails to notify POZEN of whether [* * *] or fails to deliver any comments to POZEN within the specified fifteen (15) day period, POZEN, or any of its Affiliates or its licensees shall be free to conduct, sponsor or support, independently or together with one or more Third Parties, such Ex-Territory Study. For clarity, [* * *].

2.5.

Certain Development Inside the Territory. Prior to the commencement of any clinical study with respect to any Licensed Product inside the Territory (an “In-Territory Study”), Licensee shall provide a high-level summary of the protocol(s) for such In-Territory Study to POZEN for POZEN’s review and comment. Neither Licensee nor any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees shall [* * *], except for [* * *]. In any case Licensee shall provide POZEN with the opportunity to comment on or [* * *], as applicable, the protocol(s) for any In-Territory Study, as follows: (a) POZEN shall have the right to comment on or [* * *], as applicable, any In-Territory Study for a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of the applicable summary; (b) Licensee shall review and consider in good faith any such comments; (c) each such summary provided to POZEN under this Section 2.5 shall constitute Confidential Information of Licensee to the extent that the information provided in such summary satisfies the criteria set forth in Section 12.1, and POZEN shall not use such summary for any purpose other than for its review of the applicable In-Territory Study; and (d) if POZEN fails to notify Licensee of whether [* * *] or fails to deliver any comments to Licensee within the specified fifteen (15) day period, Licensee, or any of its Affiliates or its licensees shall be free to conduct, sponsor or support, independently or together with one or more Third Parties, any In-Territory Study.

3.1.1.

Until the CMO Agreement is assigned to Licensee, POZEN shall be responsible [* * *] for conducting all NDA related CMC activities, including pre-validation and validation activities for the Initial Products and production of the Validation Batches. Licensee shall provide to POZEN written purchase orders for the [* * *] month supply of the Initial Products required for Commercial Launch, such quantity to be based upon the most recent product forecast provided to POZEN by Licensee (“Launch Quantities”), not later than ten (10) Business Days following the later of the (i) [* * *] or (ii) [* * *]. Within [* * *] Business Days after receipt from Licensee of any purchase orders regarding the Initial Products, POZEN shall submit purchase orders to the CMO containing all

information provided by Licensee in its purchase orders. POZEN shall supply such Launch Quantities on such terms as POZEN purchases such Initial Products from the CMO; provided, however, that any orders for Launch Quantities placed in Calendar Year [* * *] for delivery in Calendar Year [* * *] shall be counted towards volumes of Initial Product ordered in Calendar Year [* * *] for purposes of determining the [* * *]. Licensee shall be required to purchase such Launch Quantities from POZEN to the extent that (a) they are manufactured in accordance with the terms of the CMO Agreement, including in accordance with Applicable Law, the NDA for the Initial Products, cGMP and Initial Product specifications, and (b) all such Launch Quantities [* * *] (the requirements set forth in subparagraph (b) being referred to herein as the “[* * *] Requirements” and the requirements set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) being collectively referred to herein as the “Eligibility Requirements”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall remain responsible for the costs under the CMO Agreement of Initial Products ordered by Licensee that do not meet the [* * *] Requirements to the extent (i) Licensee ordered the applicable dose of Launch Quantities [* * *], or (ii) Licensee waives in writing the [* * *] Requirements for such Launch Quantities ordered. Prior to assignment of the CMO Agreement to Licensee, POZEN will take no action that causes any Initial Products to not meet the Eligibility Requirements. POZEN may include all or a portion of Validation Batches in such Launch Quantities to the extent the Validation Batches satisfy the Eligibility Requirements. POZEN shall not permit the CMO to [* * *] in the Manufacture of any Initial Products to be supplied to Licensee, including any Initial Products to be Manufactured and delivered to Licensee after the assignment of the CMO Agreement. Licensee shall be responsible for any costs or fees under the CMO Agreement resulting from Licensee’s cancellation or delay of a purchase order for the Initial Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such cancellation or delay was due to [* * *], Licensee shall not be responsible for any costs or fees related to the quantity of Licensed Products that were part of the Validation Batches (for clarification, Licensee shall remain responsible for all other costs or fees in the event of cancelling or delaying purchase orders for quantities of Licensed Product ordered in excess of the Validation Batches). POZEN shall invoice Licensee and Licensee shall make all payments to POZEN for the Launch Quantities under this Section 3.1.1 on such terms as are specified by POZEN in the applicable invoice to the extent necessary to permit POZEN to timely pay the CMO as required under the CMO Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, prior to assignment of the CMO Agreement to Licensee, POZEN will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to oversee the CMO’s efforts to [* * *], as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date.

3.1.2.

For any Launch Quantities ordered by Licensee pursuant to Section 3.1.1, POZEN through the CMO shall Manufacture and supply Launch Quantities to Licensee subject to and in accordance with the terms of the CMO Agreement, including any time schedules for the reservation of manufacturing slots, payment schedules, delivery terms, product warranties, and remedies.

Upon POZEN’s assignment to Licensee of the CMO Agreement pursuant to Section 3.1.4, Licensee shall have sole responsibility for, and shall have the sole right to, Manufacture (or have Manufactured) Initial Products for sale in the Territory. In addition, if Licensee chooses to Develop and/or Commercialize other Licensed Products in the Territory, as between the Parties, Licensee shall be responsible for the Manufacture of such other Licensed Products at its expense either itself or through a Third Party contract manufacturing organization selected by Licensee.

3.1.4.

POZEN shall assign the CMO Agreement to Licensee within five (5) Business Days of achievement of Commercial Readiness. In connection with any such assignment, Licensee shall covenant in writing with the CMO to be bound by the terms of the CMO Agreement. Prior to assigning the CMO Agreement to Licensee, POZEN shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts (at its sole cost and expense) to obtain for Licensee substantially all of the practical benefit of the CMO Agreement, including by (a) entering into appropriate and reasonable alternative arrangements on terms mutually and reasonably agreeable to POZEN and Licensee and (b) subject to the consent and control of Licensee, enforcement of any and all rights of POZEN against the CMO thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by the CMO.

3.1.5.

POZEN and Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the transfer of responsibility for the Manufacture of the Initial Products beginning upon the Effective Date and for a period of [* * *] days following the assignment of the CMO Agreement to Licensee. In order to facilitate such Manufacturing transfer (i) Licensee will, at its sole cost and expense, provide competent pharmaceutical manufacturing employees to reasonably participate in the production of the Validation Batches and the Launch Quantities, including, without limitation, to be present at the CMO for the production of the Validation Batches and review and comment on the validation reports, and (ii) immediately following the Effective Date and until the effective date of the assignment of the CMO Agreement to Licensee, Licensee and POZEN will commence regular consultations and information exchange with respect to manufacturing and technical matters relating to the Manufacture of the Initial Products. To implement such consultation and information exchange, POZEN shall, and shall direct its Affiliates and the CMO to promptly provide such assistance as Licensee may reasonably request and that is reasonably necessary to facilitate the transfer of the Licensed Know-How comprising or relating to the Manufacturing process for the Initial Products to Licensee or any Affiliate or Third Party it designates including by making available to Licensee, its Affiliates, or its Third Party designee, all Licensed Know-How, including any and all documentation constituting Initial Product specifications, supplier qualifications, work

instructions, control methods, standard operating procedures and other material relating to the Manufacturing process requested by Licensee to facilitate the Manufacturing Technology Transfer. POZEN shall also make reasonably available its key pharmaceutical manufacturing employees at Licensee’s request for purposes of consulting with Licensee regarding the Manufacture of the Initial Products at no cost, but with reimbursement by Licensee of any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket travel, hotel and meal expenses incurred by such employees in providing such consultation services. For a period beginning on the effective date of the assignment of the CMO Agreement to Licensee and continuing for a period of [* * *] days thereafter, if Licensee requires additional hours of consultation with respect to Manufacturing, POZEN shall make such key pharmaceutical manufacturing employees available to Licensee at a cost of $ [* * *] per hour for each hour spent by such POZEN employees plus reimbursement by Licensee of any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket travel, hotel and meal expenses incurred by such employees in providing such consultation services. POZEN shall retain or replace employees and/or contractors necessary to effect such transfer and provide such services for the time periods contemplated under this Section 3.1.5.

3.1.6.

POZEN shall immediately notify Licensee of any events relating to the Manufacture of the Initial Products which become known to POZEN and that reasonably can be expected to cause a material delay in the Manufacture of the Launch Quantities.

8.1.

Prosecution and Maintenance of Licensed Patents.

8.1.1.

POZEN shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, and prosecution of any patent applications within the Licensed Patents, and maintenance of any issued Patents within the Licensed Patents at its own expense, using outside counsel reasonably acceptable to Licensee; Licensee agrees that POZEN’s existing outside counsel for prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patents as of the Effective Date is acceptable to Licensee. In this regard, POZEN shall in its sole discretion (i) file, prosecute and maintain patent applications to secure Patent rights for the Licensed Products in the Territory and for the use of Licensed Products in the Territory, and shall reasonably consider in good faith filing, prosecuting and maintaining patent applications in the Territory for such other patentable Licensed Know-How as Licensee may from time to time designate in writing to POZEN; and (ii) upon issuance, maintain such Licensed Patents in full force in the Territory unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

8.1.2.

POZEN shall provide to Licensee a copy of all proposed filings and other material submissions and correspondence related to the Licensed Patents in the Territory reasonably in advance (but in any event at least thirty (30) days in advance) of the intended filing, submission or other relevant date of such filings, submissions or correspondence, and shall consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of Licensee with respect to filing and prosecuting the patent applications within the Licensed Patents, provided Licensee provides any such requests and suggestions to POZEN within twenty (20) days of receipt of such copies by Licensee.

8.1.3.

POZEN agrees that it will not abandon the maintenance of any issued Patents within the Licensed Patents in the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event POZEN desires to no longer maintain an issued patent within the Licensed Patents in the Territory, which only covers the Licensed Product, it shall first secure Licensee’s sole right to control the continued maintenance of such Licensed Patent, and then shall give Licensee the option to maintain such Licensed Patent at its sole expense. In the event that POZEN decides not to pursue or continue prosecution of a patent application within the Licensed Patents in the Territory, then in each such case POZEN shall provide

reasonable prior written notice to Licensee (which notice shall, in any event, be given no later than sixty (60) days prior to the next deadline for any action that may be taken with respect to such Licensed Patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office). Upon receipt of each such notice by Licensee, as between the Parties, Licensee shall have the right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to assume responsibility for filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patent application. With respect to such patent application, if Licensee elects to pursue such filing and prosecution, as the case may be, then Licensee shall notify POZEN of such election and POZEN shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to (A) reasonably cooperate with Licensee in this regard, and (B) promptly assign to Licensee, without consideration, all right, title and interest in and to such patent application in the Territory. In addition, upon such notification by Licensee, POZEN shall have the option to maintain such patent application [* * *] provided POZEN agrees, within thirty (30) days, to bear [* * *] percent ([* * *]%) of all costs and expenses as incurred and associated with the prosecution and maintenance of such patent application through either its abandonment or issuance and maintenance, which shall be in the sole discretion and control of Licensee. In the event POZEN does not agree to bear such costs and expenses within the thirty-day period, such patent application, and any Patent that issues therefrom, shall [* * *]. If Pozen agrees to bear [* * *] percent ([* * *]%) of such costs and expenses, Pozen shall reimburse such costs and expenses to Licensee within thirty (30) days of Licensee’s submission of invoices, together with supporting documentation evidencing such costs and expenses. Failure to pay such invoices within such time period (other than any portion that is subject to a good faith dispute) shall result in such patent application and any Patent issued therefrom, [* * *].

8.2.

Prosecution and Maintenance of Joint Patents. Parties shall determine, on a case-by-case basis, which Party shall have the responsibility, through counsel mutually acceptable to both Parties, for filing, prosecuting (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and re-examinations) and maintaining a Joint Patent throughout the world (such Party, the “Prosecuting Party”). The Prosecuting Party shall have the first right to determine in which countries to file, prosecute and maintain a Joint Patent. The other Party shall have the right to request that the Prosecuting Party file, prosecute and maintain a Joint Patent in a particular country. If the Prosecuting Party declines, or otherwise fails, to initiate any such requested action with respect to a Joint Patent within sixty (60) days of such request by the other Party (or, if after initiating any requested action, the Prosecuting Party at any time thereafter fails to diligently pursue such action), in each case the other Party shall have the right to take such action with respect to such Joint Patent. The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to assist and cooperate with one another in, and share equally the cost and expense of, filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Joint Patents. As part of this assistance and cooperation, the Prosecuting Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of all proposed filings and other material submissions and correspondence related

to the Joint Patents at least thirty (30) days in advance of the filing, submission or other relevant date, and shall consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of the other Party. Notwithstanding the above, either Party may decline to pay its share of the costs and expenses for filing, prosecuting and maintaining any Joint Patent in a particular country or particular countries at any time, in which case the declining Party shall assign, and shall cause its Affiliates to assign, to the other Party all of their rights, title and interest in and to any such Joint Patent in the relevant country or countries, whereupon such Joint Patent shall become a Patent owned solely by Licensee or POZEN in such country or countries, as the case may be. In no event shall a Joint Patent, [* * *].

Ownership of Intellectual Property.

8.3.1.

Inventorship of Inventions shall be determined in accordance with the rules of inventorship under United States patent laws. Subject to the licenses granted under this Agreement, as between the Parties, Licensee shall own all Inventions conceived solely by one or more employees, agents, or independent contractors of Licensee or any of its Affiliates, and POZEN shall own all Inventions conceived solely by one or more employees, agents, or independent contractors of POZEN or any of its Affiliates.

8.3.2.

Joint Inventions shall be owned jointly by Licensee and POZEN. Subject to the licenses granted under this Agreement, each Party shall have the right to exploit, license and grant rights to sublicense Joint Inventions and Joint Patents without any duty of accounting to the other Party, and each Party hereby consents, and agrees to consent, without payment of any further consideration or royalty, to the other Party’s exploitation and licensing of such Party’s interest in such Joint Invention or Joint Patent to Third Parties.

8.4.

Disclosure. [* * *] shall promptly disclose to [* * *] in writing, and shall cause its Affiliates, agents, and independent contractors to so disclose to [* * *], the conception and reduction to practice of any Invention.

8.5.

Cooperation. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patents and Joint Patents in accordance with Section 8, including (a) by executing all papers and instruments, or requiring its employees, agents, or independent contractors, or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, to execute such papers and instruments so as to effectuate the ownership of Inventions set forth in Section 8.3 (Ownership of Intellectual Property) and any Patents claiming or disclosing such Inventions, and to enable the other Party to apply for and to prosecute Patents claiming Inventions as applicable, and (b) by promptly informing the other Party of any matters coming to such Party’s attention that may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such Patents.

8.6.

Enforcement of Patents.

8.6.1.

Notice. In the event that either Party has cause to believe that a Third Party may be infringing any of the Licensed Patents or Joint Patents in the Territory, it shall promptly notify the other Party in writing, identifying the alleged infringer and the alleged infringement complained of and furnishing the information upon which such determination is based, including any PIV Certification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party shall, within [* * *] Business Days, provide written notice to the other Party of receipt of any notice of a PIV Certification (together with a copy of such PIV Certification).

8.6.2.

PIV Certification.

(a)

Rights and Procedures. In the event of a PIV Certification by a Third Party, as between the Parties, [* * *] shall have the first right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to bring and control any action with respect to infringement of the Licensed Patents or Joint Patents by such Third Party in the Territory at its own expense, including the right to control any defense or counterclaim relating to the validity or enforceability of the asserted Patents. If [* * *] fails to notify [* * *] within thirty (30) days of the PIV Certification that it will prosecute such infringement, or fails to bring such an action with respect to such infringement within ten (10) days before the time limit, if any, set forth in the Applicable Law and regulations for the filing of such actions, whichever comes first, then [* * *] shall have the right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to bring and control any such action at its own expense. Within twenty (20) days of any PIV Certification, [* * *] will provide written notice to [* * *] if it does not intend to bring an infringement action at its own expense should [* * *] decide not to bring such an infringement action, which notice, if delivered by [* * *], shall be binding on [* * *].

(b)

Expenses. As between the Parties, the Enforcing Party of an action under this Section 8.6.2 shall bear all costs and expenses (including any costs or expenses incurred that exceed the amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party pursuing any such action) and payments awarded against or agreed to be paid by such Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if [* * *] is the Enforcing Party in any action under this Section 8.6.2, [* * *] provided [* * *] for all actions brought by [* * *] under Section 8.6.2 and Section 8.8.

8.6.3.

Enforcement Actions Unrelated to PIV Certifications.

(a)

Rights and Procedures. In the event of infringement of one or more Licensed Patents or Joint Patents by a Third Party in the Territory that does not involve a PIV Certification by such Third Party, as between the Parties, [* * *] shall have the first right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to bring and control

any action with respect to such infringement in the Territory at its own expense, including the right to control any defense or counterclaim relating to the validity or enforceability of the asserted Patents. If [* * *] fails to bring an action with respect to such infringement within (i) ninety (90) days following notice of such infringement, or (ii) ten (10) days before the time limit, if any, set forth in the Applicable Law and regulations for the filing of such actions, whichever comes first, then [* * *] shall have the right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to bring and control any such action at its own expense.

(b)

8.6.4.

Assistance. Upon reasonable request by the Enforcing Party of any legal action permitted under Section 8.6, the other Party (the “Non-Enforcing Party”) shall give the Enforcing Party all reasonable information and assistance, including allowing the Enforcing Party access to the Non-Enforcing Party’s files and documents and to the Non-Enforcing Party’s personnel who may have possession of relevant information. Upon the Enforcing Party’s request and at its sole expense, the Non-Enforcing Party shall timely join as party-plaintiff in any such action and cooperate with the Enforcing Party in connection with such action, including timely filing such action in the Non-Enforcing Party’s name if required. The Non-Enforcing Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice, provided that the Enforcing Party shall at all times retain control of such action, and the Enforcing Party and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with the Non-Enforcing Party and its counsel in strategizing, preparing and presenting any such action.

8.6.5.

Settlement of an Enforcement Claim. The Enforcing Party of an action under this Section 8.6 shall have the right to control settlement of any claims that a Third Party may be infringing any Licensed Patents and Joint Patents; provided, however, that no settlement shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the Non-Enforcing Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In addition to the foregoing, [* * *] shall not enter into or otherwise consent to any settlement of an infringement action related to any Licensed Product that is brought by a Third Party [* * *] without the prior written consent of [* * *], which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For purposes of clarity under this Section 8.6.5 and Section 8.6.7, an action shall not be deemed to be related to a Licensed Product if such action solely involves a pharmaceutical product other than a Licensed Product.

8.6.6.

Recovery. Any amounts recovered by either Party as a result of an action pursuant to this Section 8.6, whether by settlement or judgment, shall be allocated in accordance with the following:

(a)

Such amounts first shall be used to reimburse the Parties for their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to such action and, if insufficient to cover the totality of such costs and expenses, shall be allocated between the Parties in proportion to their respective costs and expenses.

Infringement Claims by Third Parties.

8.7.1.

Defense of Third Party Claims. If a Third Party asserts that a Patent or other intellectual property right owned or controlled by it is infringed by the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Products in the Territory, the Party first obtaining knowledge of such a claim shall immediately provide the other Party notice of such claim along with the related facts in reasonable detail. [* * *] (or its Affiliates or [* * *]) shall control such defense with respect to Licensed Products in the Territory using counsel mutually acceptable to the Parties, provided, however, that in the event the Third Party asserts such Patent or right in an action brought under Section 8.6.2 or 8.6.3, the Enforcing Party shall control such defense with respect to Licensed Products in the Territory as set forth therein. If [* * *] elects (in a written notice delivered to [* * *] within a reasonable amount of time after notice of such Third Party claim) not to defend or control the defense of, or if [* * *] otherwise fails to initiate and maintain the defense of, any such Third Party claim, [* * *] may conduct and control the defense of any such Third Party claim. The Party that is not defending the claim (the “Non-Defending Party”) shall cooperate with the Party defending the claim (the “Defending Party”), at the Defending Party’s reasonable request and expense (for reasonable costs and expenses). The Defending Party shall provide the Non-Defending Party with copies of all pleadings and other documents filed with the court related to such action, and shall reasonably consider input provided by the Non-Defending Party during the course of such action.

8.7.2.

Settlement of Third Party Claims.

8.8.

Third Party Declaratory Judgment or Similar Action. If a Third Party asserts, in a declaratory judgment action or similar action or claim filed by such Third Party, that any Licensed Patent or Joint Patent is invalid or unenforceable, then the Party first becoming aware of such action or claim shall promptly give written notice to the other Party. [* * *] shall have the first right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to defend against such action or claim. Any costs and expenses with respect to such defense by [* * *] shall be borne in the same manner as described in Section 8.6.2 (such costs and expenses to be borne by [* * *] under Section 8.6.2 and Section 8.8); provided that if (i) [* * *] receives notice of a PIV Certification as contemplated by Section 8.6.2, (ii) [* * *], (iii) [* * *] notifies [* * *] that it will prosecute such infringement within the time period specified in Section 8.6.2 and (iv) [* * *] fails to prosecute such infringement, resulting in a declaratory judgment action in respect of such PIV Certification, [* * *] shall be responsible for [* * *].

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 8, each Party shall have the right to invoke 35 U.S.C. 102(c) when exercising its rights under this Article 8, without the prior written consent of the other Party, in which case such Party shall notify the other Party, which notice shall be reasonably in advance of disclosure in any patent application, and the other Party shall cooperate and coordinate its activities with such Party with respect to any submissions, filings or other activities in support thereof. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a “joint research agreement” as defined in 35 U.S.C. 100(h).

8.10.

Patent Term Extension. Regardless of which Party is filing, prosecuting and maintaining any Patents pursuant to this Section 8, and as between the Parties, [* * *] shall have the

right to make all decisions regarding all patent term extensions based upon approval of the Licensed Products in the Territory, including with respect to extensions pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 156 et. seq.; provided, however, that if Applicable Law permits patent term extension for each of the Licensed Patents and Joint Patents that cover a particular Licensed Product, and [* * *] elects not to seek such extension for one or more of such Patents as provided herein, then [* * *] shall have the right to do so. Upon request by [* * *], [* * *] shall reasonably cooperate in the implementation of such decisions. [* * *] shall notify [* * *] of any notice of allowance of any Licensed Patent or Joint Patent prosecuted by or on behalf of [* * *] within seven (7) days of [* * *]’s receipt of such notice.

Each Party will promptly comply with reasonable requests (but in any case within five (5) days after such requests) by the other Party to review the listability of the Licensed Patents and Joint Patents in the Orange Book. [* * *] shall (x) reasonably consult with [* * *] prior to making any filing with the FDA contemplated by this Section 8.10 and shall consider in good faith [* * *]’s advice and suggestions with respect thereto and (y) notify [* * *] of any such filing promptly after it is made following the Regulatory Filing Transfer. In no event will [* * *] list or de-list any Licensed Patents or Joint Patents without giving notice to [* * *] at least thirty (30) days prior to taking such action, and meeting in person to discuss such action if so requested by the other Party.

8.12.

Third Party Licenses.

8.12.1.

If the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Products by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees infringes or misappropriates any Patent or other intellectual property right of a Third Party, such that Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees has a good faith belief, based on advice of outside counsel, that it cannot Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize Licensed Products in the Territory without

Deductions to which Licensee is entitled under this Section, to the extent not exhausted in any Calendar Quarter, may be carried into future Calendar Quarters until the full deduction is taken.

8.12.3.

In the event that Licensee does not obtain a license to Necessary IP from the applicable Third Party as described in Section 8.12.1 permitting Licensee to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement without infringing such Necessary IP, then upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to POZEN, Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 13.10.

If a Party is unable to comply with the foregoing [* * *] Business Days’ notice requirement because of a legal obligation or stock exchange requirement to make more rapid disclosure, such Party shall not be in breach of this Agreement but shall in that case provide notice as promptly as practicable under the circumstances.

12.6.2.

A Party may publicly disclose, without regard to the preceding requirements of this Section 12.6 (Press Releases), information that was previously disclosed in a Public Disclosure that was in compliance with such requirements.

The Parties agree that the terms of this Agreement are confidential and shall not be disclosed by either Party to any Third Party (except to a Party’s professional advisors, including accountants, financial advisors, and attorneys) without prior written permission of the other Party; provided, however, that (a) either Party may make any filings of this Agreement required by law or regulation in any country so long as such Party uses its reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for portions of this Agreement to the greatest extent permissible, consults with the other Party prior to filing to reach agreement on the portions of this Agreement for which confidential treatment will be sought, and permits the other Party to participate, to the greatest extent practicable, in seeking a protective order or other confidential treatment; (b) either Party may disclose this Agreement on a confidential basis to potential Third Party investors or acquirors or to potential licensees or Sublicensees, in each case in connection with due diligence or similar investigations; and (c) a Party may publicly disclose, without regard to the preceding requirements of this Section 12.7, information that was previously disclosed in compliance with such requirements.

12.8.

Publications. Each Party recognizes that the publication of papers regarding results of and other information regarding activities under this Agreement may be beneficial to both Parties; provided such publications are subject to reasonable controls to protect Confidential Information. In particular, it is the intent of the Parties to maintain the confidentiality of any Confidential Information included in any patent application until such Patent application has been filed. Accordingly, (a) except as set in the attached Exhibit G, which Exhibit G sets forth all draft papers pending publication as of the Effective Date, Licensee shall have the right to review and approve, and (b) POZEN shall have the right to review and comment on, any paper proposed for publication by the other Party or any of its Affiliates (including any oral presentation or abstract) that contains clinical data or pertains to results of pre-approval clinical studies, Phase 4 Trials,

Post-Approval Commitments or other clinical studies with respect to the Licensed Products or includes other data generated under this Agreement (each a “Publication”). Prior to disclosing any such Publication, the publishing or presenting Party (or its applicable Affiliate) shall deliver a complete copy of the paper or materials for oral presentation to the other Party at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to disclosing the Publication. The other Party shall review any such Publication and give its comments, if any, (and, in the case of Licensee as the reviewing Party, notify POZEN whether or not it is granting its approval) to the publishing Party within fifteen (15) calendar days of the delivery of such paper to the other Party. With respect to oral presentation materials and abstracts, the reviewing Party shall make reasonable efforts to expedite review of such materials and abstracts, and shall return such items as soon as practicable to the publishing Party with appropriate comments, if any, but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of delivery to the reviewing Party. Failure by the reviewing Party to respond within such fifteen (15) calendar days shall be deemed approval to publish or present. The publishing or presenting Party (or its applicable Affiliate) shall consider the comments of the other Party in good faith and shall comply with the other Party’s request to delete references to such other Party’s Confidential Information (or the Licensed Know-How, in the case of either Party as the reviewing Party) in any such Publication and shall withhold publication of any such Publication for an additional sixty (60) calendar days in order to permit the Parties to obtain patent protection if either Party deems it necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, POZEN shall not request that Licensee delete references in Publications to clinical data owned by POZEN and contained in the NDA for the Initial Products, which clinical data Licensee may freely publish. Any Publication shall include recognition of the contributions of the other Party according to standard practice for assigning scientific credit, either through authorship or acknowledgement, as may be appropriate. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause investigators and institutions participating in pre-approval clinical studies, Phase IV Clinical Studies, Post-Approval Commitments or other clinical studies for the Licensed Products with which it contracts (but excluding in each case any investigator-sponsored human clinical studies) to agree to terms substantially similar to those set forth in this Section 12.8, which efforts shall satisfy such Party’s obligations under this Section 12.8 with respect to such investigators and institutions.

For a period of [* * *] days following the effective date of termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees and their respective Affiliates to, at the request of POZEN or its designee, commence regular consultations and information exchange with POZEN or its designee with respect to manufacturing and technical matters reasonably relating to the Manufacture of the Licensed Products in order to transition to POZEN or its designee any Development, Manufacturing and/or Commercialization activities undertaken by Licensee, its Affiliates and/or its Sublicensees. If this Agreement is terminated whereby POZEN is responsible for all reasonable costs associated with the transfer contemplated under this Section 13.11.2(a)(3), Licensee shall not charge to POZEN more than [* * *] ($[* * *]) per hour for each hour spent by employees of Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees assisting POZEN or its designee in the transition of any such activities. In such case, POZEN shall reimburse Licensee, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, but not limited to, any travel, meal and hotel expenses incurred by such employees in delivering the transition assistance contemplated under this Section 13.11.2(a)(3).

(4)

If termination occurs following Commercial Launch, with respect to Licensed Products Manufactured by Licensee, Licensee shall transfer the Manufacturing process for such Licensed Products to a Third Party contractor designated by POZEN and supply to POZEN such Licensed Products, at a price to be negotiated in good faith by the Parties, for a period of [* * *] ([* * *]) years commencing upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement.

(5)

With respect to Licensed Products Manufactured by CMO for Licensee, Licensee shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assign the CMO Agreement to POZEN. With respect to Licensed Products Manufactured by a Third Party (other than CMO) for Licensee, Licensee shall, upon POZEN’s request, assign its agreement with such Third Party to POZEN, if such agreement is assignable without consent of the Third Party or modification or amendment of the applicable Third Party agreement. If such Third Party agreement requires consent, modification or amendment in order to assign to POZEN, Licensee shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to effect such assignment. If Licensee is unable to effect such assignment, upon POZEN’s election, Licensee shall supply Licensed Products to POZEN on such terms as Licensee purchases Licensed Products from such Third Party at a

price equal to the documented out-of-pocket cost paid by Licensee plus [* * *] percent ([* * *]%) and for a period of [* * *] ([* * *]) years commencing upon the effective date of such termination of this Agreement.

(6)

The licenses granted by POZEN to Licensee in Section 6 shall immediately terminate.

(7)

Licensee shall execute and deliver to POZEN an agreement substantially similar to the Trademark Assignment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C. so as to enable Pozen to effectuate the assignment of the Initial Products Trademark and any Subsequent Products Trademarks to POZEN.

(8)

(i) Licensee shall grant to POZEN an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free license under Licensee’s interest in the Joint Patents, and (ii) Licensee shall either, in its sole discretion, (x) assign to POZEN without consideration all rights, title and interest in and to any patent applications and Patents issued therefrom that were assigned to Licensee under Section 8.1.3, or (y) grant to POZEN an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free license under any patent applications and Patents issued therefrom that were assigned to Licensee under Section 8.1.3, with right to sublicense, to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, have sold and import Licensed Products, provided, however, that if Licensee elects to grant the license to POZEN under this Section 13.11.2(a)(8)(ii)(y), and POZEN contacts Licensee at any time regarding the continued prosecution or maintenance of any patent application or Patent licensed hereunder, then in the event Licensee, at the time POZEN contacts Licensee, has decided to no longer continue such prosecution or maintenance, Licensee shall, upon POZEN’s request, promptly assign to POZEN without consideration all rights, title and interest in and to any such patent application or Patent.

(b)

Upon termination of this Agreement by Licensee under Sections 13.2 or 13.4, the licenses granted by POZEN to Licensee in Section 6 shall continue in full force and effect (provided that the then current royalty rate otherwise payable pursuant to Section 7.4 (as such royalty rate may have been be adjusted under this Agreement, and subject to any future adjustments as may be provided for under this Agreement) shall be reduced by [* * *] percent ([* * *]%) and no further milestone payments shall be due to POZEN under Section 7.3).

(c)

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason after Commercial Launch (except termination by POZEN pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.4), Licensee (and its Affiliates and Sublicensees) shall have the right for twelve (12) months after the

effective date of such termination to dispose of all Licensed Products then in its (or their) inventory, as though this Agreement had not terminated, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include payment of the royalty rates to POZEN pursuant to Section 7.4.

13.11.3.

Milestone Payments. Licensee shall have no obligation to pay POZEN any milestone payment that becomes due under Sections 7.2 in the period between the time that Licensee has given a notice of termination under this Section 13 and the time such termination becomes effective.

13.12.

Effect of Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Licensee or POZEN 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 the Parties, as licensees of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of their 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 either Party under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Party hereto that is not a Party to such proceeding 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 the non-subject Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon the non-subject Party’s written request therefor, unless the Party subject to such proceeding elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under (a) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Party subject to such proceeding upon written request therefor by the non-subject Party. Each Party agrees and acknowledges that all payments by Licensee to POZEN payable under this Agreement other than royalty payments pursuant to Section 7.4 (Royalties) and sales milestone payments under Section 7.3 (Sales Milestone Payments) do not constitute “royalties” within the meaning of Section 365(n) of Title 11 or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder.

13.13.

Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination. In addition, the provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement to the extent indicated on Exhibit J.

14.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

14.1.

Indemnification by POZEN. POZEN hereby agrees to save, defend and hold Licensee and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Licensee Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses or

loss, including reasonable legal expense and attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), to which any Licensee Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action, suit or other proceeding (collectively, “Claims”) by any Third Party to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any POZEN Indemnitee or (b) the breach by POZEN of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by POZEN in this Agreement; except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Licensee Indemnitee or the breach by Licensee of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Licensee in this Agreement.

14.2.

Indemnification by Licensee. Licensee hereby agrees to save, defend and hold POZEN and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “POZEN Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all Losses to which any POZEN Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claims by any Third Party to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Licensee Indemnitee or (b) the breach by Licensee of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Licensee in this Agreement; except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any POZEN Indemnitee or the breach by POZEN of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by POZEN in this Agreement.

14.3.

Indemnification Procedure.

14.3.1.

Notice of Claim. The indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 14.1 (Indemnification by POZEN) or Section 14.2 (Indemnification by Licensee); provided, however, that the failure to give such prompt written notice shall not relieve Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses. All indemnification claims in respect of a Party, its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees” and each an “Indemnitee”) shall be made solely by such Party to this Agreement.

14.3.2.

Control of Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any claim for which indemnification is sought (a “Third Party Claim”) by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnitee in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party or any other Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or other Indemnitee in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim.

14.3.3.

Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 14.3.2 (Control of Defense) above, any Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnitee’s own expense unless (a) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, or (b) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 14.3.2 (Control of Defense) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense).

14.3.4.

Settlement.

(a)

With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that shall not result in the Indemnitee’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnitee in any manner, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate.

(b)

With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 14.3.2 (Control of Defense), the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnitee that is reached without the written consent of the

Indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall and each Indemnified Party shall ensure that no Indemnitee shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

14.3.5.

Cooperation. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each other Indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection with the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnitees and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

14.3.6.

Indemnification Payments. Upon the final determination of liability in respect of any Third Party Claim with respect to which a Party has an indemnification obligation hereunder, and the amount to be indemnified in respect thereof under this Section 14, the appropriate Party shall pay to the other, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days after such determination, the amount of any claim for indemnification made hereunder.

14.4.

Insurance. POZEN shall maintain such types and amounts of liability insurance as is normal and customary in the pharmaceutical industry generally for parties similarly situated. Licensee will have and maintain during the Term such types and amounts of liability insurance as is normal and customary in the pharmaceutical industry generally for parties similarly situated, which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include self-insurance. Upon request, POZEN shall provide Licensee with a copy of its policies of insurance, along with any amendments and revisions thereto.

15.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION AND ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL NOT APPLY TO AN AWARD OF ENHANCED DAMAGES AVAILABLE UNDER THE PATENT

LAWS FOR WILLFUL PATENT INFRINGEMENT AND WILL NOT LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER SECTIONS 12 (CONFIDENTIALITY), AND 14 (INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE) OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER THIRD PARTY CLAIM.

16.

EFFORTS OF THIRD PARTIES. All efforts of a Party’s Affiliates and Third Party contractors shall be considered efforts of such Party for the purpose of determining compliance with its obligations under this Agreement.

17.

MISCELLANEOUS

17.1.

Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (other than an obligation to make payments) when such failure or delay is caused by or results from events beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, earthquakes, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorist acts, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances (whether involving the workforce of the non-performing Party or of any other Person), acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental Authority. The non-performing Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after discovery thereof by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to remedy its inability to perform.

17.2.

Assignment.

17.2.1.

Licensee may assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of POZEN to any of its Affiliates, or to any Third Party in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the business of Licensee to which this Agreement relates to such Third Party, whether by merger, transfer of stock, transfer of assets or otherwise; provided, however, that Licensee (except if it is not a surviving entity) shall remain jointly and severally liable with the relevant Affiliate (but not with respect to any Third Party) under this Agreement, and provided further, that the relevant Affiliate assignee, Third Party assignee or surviving entity assumes in writing all of Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement.

In addition, any direct or indirect permitted assignee, pledgee or other transferee (collectively, an “Assignee”) of POZEN pursuant to this Section 17.2.3 may likewise Assign all or any part of such Assignee’s rights under this Agreement (including payment rights) to any person or entity (whether or not POZEN or an Affiliate of POZEN) without the prior written consent of Licensee.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 17.2.1, 17.2.2 and 17.2.3 above, neither Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto (which may be granted at the other Party’s discretion), sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder.

17.2.5.

Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 17.2 (Assignment) shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect.

17.3.

[* * *] Change of Control. If [* * *] proposes to enter into an agreement or set of related agreements that, if the transaction(s) contemplated thereby is completed, would result in a Change of Control, then [* * *] may provide [* * *] with written notice describing the proposed Change of Control in reasonable detail (a “Change of Control Notice”). If [* * *] enters into any such agreement(s) and has not previously provided a Change of Control Notice to [* * *] pursuant the preceding sentence, [* * *] shall provide [* * *] with a Change of Control Notice promptly following the date on which such agreement(s) are executed and in no event later than five (5) days thereafter.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of law that would render any provision prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

17.5.

Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

17.5.1.

This Agreement, and any disputes between the Parties related to or arising out of this Agreement, including the Parties’ relationship created hereby, the negotiations for and entry into this Agreement, its conclusion, binding effect, amendment, coverage, termination, or the performance or alleged non-performance of a Party of its obligations under this Agreement (each a “Dispute”), shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to any choice of law principles thereof that would cause the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction.

17.5.2.

In the event of any Dispute, a Party may notify the other Party in writing of such Dispute, and the Parties shall try to settle such Dispute amicably between themselves.

17.13.

No Drafting Party.

Press Release

SANOFI US AND POZEN SIGN EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR THE

COMMERCIALIZATION OF PA8140/PA32540 TABLETS IN THE U.S.

Bridgewater, N.J. AND Chapel Hill, N.C., [release date] — Sanofi US (NYSE: SNY) and POZEN Inc. (NASDAQ: POZN) announced the signing of an exclusive license agreement for the commercialization of POZEN’s proprietary, investigational, coordinated-delivery tablets combining immediate-release omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), and enteric-coated (EC) aspirin in a single tablet (“PA”), PA8140 and PA32540. Under the terms of the agreement, Sanofi will have exclusive rights to commercialize all PA combinations that contain 325 mg or less of enteric-coated aspirin in the United States. POZEN will receive an upfront payment of $15MM and will be eligible for pre-commercial milestone payments of up to $20MM and other future milestone payments and royalties on product sales.

“Sanofi has a strong heritage and expertise in the cardiovascular space, with Lovenox, Plavix, and most recently Multaq, and the PA products are an important addition to our already strong CV portfolio,” said Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, President, North America Pharmaceuticals at Sanofi US. “The PA products have the potential to be an effective solution for the millions of patients at risk for gastric ulcers from chronic aspirin use in the prevention of secondary cardiovascular disease. We look forward to bringing this therapy to patients and healthcare providers.”

Sanofi US will have responsibility for all sales, marketing, ongoing manufacturing and future development for the licensed PA products in the U.S. POZEN will retain responsibility for obtaining approval of the New Drug Application (NDA), after which time POZEN will transfer the NDA to Sanofi US. The NDA was submitted in March 2013 and accepted for filing in May 2013 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Pharm.D., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of POZEN Inc. said, “We are pleased to have Sanofi US commercialize PA8140 and PA32540 in the US. We have been excited about the results of our Phase 3 clinical trials and look forward to the prospect of making this product available to cardiovascular patients at risk for gastric ulcers. Sanofi’s dominant CV heritage and strong commitment to PA, make them the right partner for these products.”

About PA

POZEN has created a portfolio of investigational integrated aspirin therapies - the PA product platform. The products in the PA portfolio are being developed with the goal of significantly reducing GI ulcers and other GI complications compared to taking enteric-coated or plain aspirin alone.

The first candidates are PA32540, containing 325 mg of aspirin, and PA8140, containing 81 mg of aspirin. Both products are a coordinated-delivery tablet combining immediate-release omeprazole (40 mg), a proton pump inhibitor, layered around a pH-sensitive coating of an aspirin core. This novel, patented product is intended for oral administration once a day and an indication is being sought for use for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease in patients at risk for aspirin-induced gastric ulcers.

About Cardiovascular Disease

Patients with established coronary heart disease or cerebrovascular disease have a high risk of a subsequent cardiovascular event including myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and death from cardiovascular disease. For such patients, lifestyle changes and drug therapy are of proven benefit and may improve outcomes. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in America todayⁱ. Coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease and is caused by atherosclerosis and often develops into angina pectoris and MI. This condition can lead to angina pectoris and MI and caused more than 405,000 deaths in 2008ⁱⁱ. Roughly 16.8 million people have a history of MI and/or anginaⁱⁱⁱ. An estimated 24 million have been identified as secondary prevention patients (post-event)^iv. It is estimated that cardiovascular disease causes one in every three deaths in the United States^v. Every 25 seconds, someone in the United States will suffer a coronary event^vi. About every minute, someone will die from one^vii.

About POZEN

POZEN Inc. is a small pharmaceutical company that specializes in developing novel therapeutics for unmet medical needs and licensing those products to other pharmaceutical companies for commercialization. By utilizing a unique in-source model and focusing on integrated therapies, POZEN has successfully developed and obtained FDA approval of two self-invented products in two years. Funded by these milestones/royalty streams, POZEN is creating a portfolio of cost-effective, evidence-based integrated aspirin therapies designed to enable the full power of aspirin by reducing its GI damage.

POZEN continues to seek strategic partners to help maximize the opportunities for its portfolio assets.

These risks and uncertainties include among other things, the uncertainties inherent in research and development, future clinical data and analysis, including post marketing, decisions by regulatory authorities, such as the FDA or the EMA, regarding whether and when to approve any drug, device or biological application that may be filed for any such product candidates as well as their decisions regarding labelling and other matters that could affect the availability or commercial potential of such product candidates, the absence of guarantee that the product candidates if approved will be commercially successful, the future approval and commercial success of therapeutic alternatives, the Group’s ability to benefit from external growth opportunities, trends in exchange rates and prevailing interest rates, the impact of cost containment policies and subsequent changes thereto, the average number of shares outstanding as well as those discussed or identified in the public filings with the SEC and the AMF made by Sanofi, including those listed under “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Sanofi’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012.
