determines at any time that the NDA for an indication for the Product is

QUALITY CONTROL
4.1 Product Specifications Amendments. Anthra reserves the right to
amend and/or supplement the Product Specifications unilaterally for the purpose
of complying with GMPs or other applicable laws, regulations or guidelines.
Further, Anthra may amend and/or supplement the Product Specifications in order
to incorporate Improvements or for any other reasonable business purpose,
subject to the grant of any FDA approvals required by applicable law in
connection with any such changes, with the prior written consent of Medeva,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that
failure to agree on royalty terms with respect to any such Improvement pursuant

(a) In the event that Medeva determines that any shipment of
Product does not conform to the Product Specifications or the relevant Medeva
purchase order, then Medeva shall give Anthra notice thereof (including a sample
from such shipment) within fifteen days after receipt thereof, in the case of
non-conformities that may be ascertained by the exercise of reasonable diligence
(which shall not include laboratory testing or other chemical analysis, unless
required by the NDA) upon receipt thereof, and within fifteen days after
discovery thereof, in the case of other non-conformities (including, without
limitation, non-conformities relating to stability). If Medeva decides to
conduct routine laboratory testing and other chemical analysis of shipments of
Product, it shall conduct such tests and analyses within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the Product. If Anthra confirms such non-conformity, it shall
promptly so notify Medeva. If Anthra does not confirm such non-conformity, it
shall promptly so notify Medeva, and the parties shall submit the disputed
shipment for testing to an independent testing laboratory that is mutually
acceptable to the parties. The findings of the testing laboratory shall be
binding on the parties. The expenses of such testing shall be borne by Anthra if
the testing confirms the non-conformity, and otherwise by Medeva.
(b) If any Product delivered by Anthra hereunder does not
conform to the Product Specifications or
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
20

the relevant Medeva purchase order for any reason other than the willful or
negligent acts or omissions of Medeva or its customers or agents which occur
after the date of shipment thereof by Anthra, Anthra shall credit Medeva with
the costs incurred by Medeva with respect to such non-conforming Product, which
costs shall be deemed equal to the sum of any amounts paid on account of such
Product pursuant to Section 3.11 and any and all transportation and storage
charges incurred by Medeva in connection with such Product. In addition, at
Medeva's option, (i) Anthra shall be relieved of any obligation to deliver any
Product in replacement of such non-conforming Product, or (ii) Anthra shall
replace the non-conforming Product with substitute Product that conforms to the
Product Specifications and purchase order, within ninety (90) days from the date
Medeva notifies Anthra of its election of option (ii) of this Section 4.2, in
which case Medeva shall pay to Anthra any unpaid amounts in respect of the
replacement Product in accordance with Section 3.11 following delivery of the
replacement Product. This remedy shall be in addition to any other rights that
Medeva may have hereunder or by law.
4.3 Manufacturing Process. In the event that any process event shall
occur in the manufacturing of any batch of Product, which event is likely
materially to affect the safety, efficacy or regulatory status of the Product,
then Anthra shall notify Medeva as soon as reasonably possible.
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
21
27
Medeva and Anthra shall consult with each other as to the disposition of all
affected batches of the Product. Anthra agrees to report to Medeva, on an annual
basis, any atypical process events that are unlikely materially to affect the
safety, efficacy or regulatory status of the Product. Further, to the extent of
its knowledge, Anthra agrees to provide Medeva with notice of any out of process
steps which occur in the manufacture of Product. No Product may be reworked
unless the rework procedure is in conformity with FDA guidelines, except with
the prior written consent of Medeva, which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld.
4.4 Inspection. Anthra shall permit Medeva representatives to enter
Anthra's facilities and, to the extent permitted by the Contract Manufacturing
Agreements (which access Anthra agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
negotiate on behalf of Medeva), to enter the facilities of the Contract
Manufacturers in the company of, and separately from, Anthra representatives,
all upon reasonable prior notice and at reasonable intervals, during normal
business hours for the purpose of making quality assurance audits of those
facilities and of the procedures and processes used by Anthra and such Contract
Manufacturers in storing, manufacturing and shipping AD 32 and the Product. In
the event that Anthra shall enter into contracts with other vendors with respect
to Product to be supplied to Medeva
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
22

pursuant hereto, or AD 32 to be used in the manufacture of such Product, then
Anthra shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, mutatis mutandis,
such rights of access for Medeva with respect to such vendors' facilities.
4.5 Safety Procedures. Anthra shall maintain and enforce safety
procedures for the handling and manufacture of the Product that comply in all
respects with Anthra's NDA and all federal, state and local occupational safety
and health requirements.
4.6 Government Inspection. Anthra agrees to advise Medeva
immediately of any proposed or announced visit or inspection, and as soon as
possible but in any case within twenty-four (24) hours (or, in the case of a
third party facility, within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt by Anthra of
notice thereof), of any unannounced visit or inspection, by any governmental or
regulatory agent of any facilities used by Anthra in the performance of its
obligations hereunder, including the processes or procedures used at such
facilities in the manufacture of Product. Anthra shall provide Medeva with a
reasonable description of each such visit or inspection promptly (but in no
event later than five (5) calendar days) thereafter, and with copies of any
letters, reports or other documents (including 483's) issued by any such agents
that relate to the Product or such facilities, processes or procedures. Medeva
shall also be

23
29
entitled to review Anthra's responses to any such reports and communications
prior to their submission, if practicable, and, insofar as timely received,
Medeva's reasonable views and requests shall be taken into account prior to
submission of such reports and communications to the relevant agency. Anthra
shall also provide Medeva with the notice, information, documentation, and
opportunity to comment provided for above with respect to the Contract
Manufacturers, to the extent provided for in the relevant Contract Manufacturing
Agreement (which provisions Anthra shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
negotiate on behalf of Medeva). In the event that Anthra shall enter into
contracts with other vendors with respect to Product to be supplied to Medeva
pursuant hereto, or AD 32 to be used in the manufacture of such Product, then
Anthra shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, mutatis mutandis,
such rights for Medeva with respect to such vendors.

obligations to its customers because Products could not be timely shipped by
Anthra or Medeva due to the condition requiring recall. In the event, however,

caused by Medeva's actions or omissions, then each party shall be responsible
for its proportionate share of the recall expenses based on its proportionate
share of causation.

such action in the name of Anthra. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this
Section 12.1 shall be construed to require Medeva to assign to Anthra the rights
to any Improvements to AD 32, the Product or the Product Know-how that Medeva
may develop; provided, however, that if, during the term of this Agreement,
Medeva or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees develops any such Improvements,

elsewhere, and in the Territory for other purposes, on such terms and
conditions, if any, as the parties may mutually agree. Further, if during the
term of this Agreement, Anthra or any of its Affiliates develops any
Improvements to the Product or the Product Know-how, Anthra shall so notify
Medeva and shall grant, or shall cause such Affiliate to grant, to Medeva a
royalty-bearing license to use such Improvements in the Territory, on such terms
and conditions, if any, as the parties may mutually agree; provided, however,
that such license shall be royalty-

free to the extent that such Improvement shall consist of a change in Product
Specifications made by Anthra pursuant to Section 4.1 in order to comply with

of the foregoing, it shall decide whether or not to initiate an infringement or
other appropriate action or suit and shall advise Medeva of its decision in
writing. Failure to so notify Medeva within such sixty (60) day period shall be
deemed a decision not to

initiate an infringement or other appropriate suit.
(b) Provided that Anthra shall have advised Medeva of its
decision to file suit within the sixty (60) day period provided in Section
12.4(a), Anthra shall have the right to institute proceedings to prevent any
such infringement, violation, unauthorized use or misappropriation or to take
all actions to defend against, and subject to the last sentence of Section
12.4(c), settle or compromise any such action or suit. Anthra shall keep Medeva
promptly informed of, and shall from time to time consult with Medeva regarding,
the status of any such suit and shall provide Medeva with copies of all
documents filed in, and all written communications relating to, such suit.
(c) Anthra shall select counsel for any suit referred to in
Section 12.4(b) and shall pay all expenses of the suit, including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs. Any damages,
settlement fees or other consideration for infringement received as a result of
such litigation shall be allocated first to reimburse Anthra for any costs and
expenses incurred in connection with such litigation and thereafter shared by
Anthra and Medeva, with Anthra receiving that proportion which corresponds to
its royalty percentage then in effect, and Medeva receiving the balance. Medeva
shall cooperate reasonably with Anthra in prosecuting such action, defending
against such action, claim

or dispute, or otherwise asserting its rights against third parties at Anthra's
request and at Anthra's expense. Medeva shall also have the right to participate
and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel at its own expense.
Anthra shall not settle any such suit without Medeva's written consent if such
settlement would adversely affect Medeva's rights under this Agreement.
(d) If within sixty (60) days after receiving notice of a
continuing infringement or violation of any rights in the Product Know-how or of
any third party action, claim or dispute based upon or arising out of the rights
in the Product Know-how, Anthra fails to advise Medeva in writing of its
decision whether to commence a lawsuit directed towards restraining or enjoining
such infringement or violation or to take other diligent actions to cause the
cessation of or defend against, settle or compromise such action, claim or
dispute, or shall notify Medeva of its decision not to do so, then Medeva may
take such legal or other actions as it deems necessary or appropriate to prevent
or restrain such infringement or violation or to defend against, settle or
compromise such action, claim or dispute, in which event all damages or
settlement proceeds thereunder shall be allocated first to reimburse Medeva for
any costs and expenses incurred in connection with such litigation and
thereafter shared by Anthra and Medeva, with Anthra receiving that proportion
which
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
44
50
corresponds to its royalty percentage then in effect, and Medeva receiving the
balance. To the extent not recovered in the manner set forth in the preceding
sentence, Medeva may set off its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith against future development fees, license fees and royalty
payments due Anthra under this Agreement as such development fees, license fees
and royalty payments become due (up to a maximum total credit in any calendar
year of one-quarter of such amount). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Medeva shall
not be entitled to settle any such claim or action without Anthra's written
consent if such settlement would adversely affect Anthra's rights in the Product
Know-how. Anthra agrees to cooperate reasonably in any such legal or other
action initiated by Medeva, at Medeva's request and at Medeva's cost.
(e) This subsection (e) shall apply only with respect to
infringement of the Trademarks and to the Other Trademarks. Anthra agrees to
give Medeva prompt written notice of any unlicensed use by third parties of
which Anthra has knowledge, throughout the world with respect to Other
Trademarks, and throughout the Territory with respect to the Trademarks, and
further agrees not, without Medeva's prior written consent, to bring or cause to
be brought any criminal prosecution, lawsuit or administrative action for
infringement, interference with or violation of any rights
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
45
51
occurring anywhere in the world with respect to the Other Trademarks and
occurring in the Territory with respect to the Trademarks. Anthra agrees to
cooperate with Medeva, and if necessary, to be named by Medeva as a sole
complainant or co-complainant in any action against an infringer of the
Trademarks or Other Trademarks, and, notwithstanding any right of Anthra to
recover same, legal or otherwise, Anthra agrees to pay to Medeva, and hereby
waives all claims to, all damages or other monetary relief recovered in such
action by reason of a judgment or settlement whether or not such damages or
other monetary relief, or any part thereof, represent or are intended to
represent injury sustained by Anthra. In any such action against an infringer,
Medeva agrees to reimburse Anthra for all costs and expenses incurred at
Medeva's request, including attorneys' fees and expenses if Medeva has requested
Anthra to retain counsel.
12.5 Offset for Infringement. If Medeva is required, at any time
during the term of this Agreement, to pay any royalty or damages to any person
or entity as a result of a judgment, settlement or agreement relating to the
past and/or future sale of the Product in the Territory ("Third Party
Payments"), except insofar as such Third Party Payments are attributable to the
willful misconduct, negligence, or breach of this Agreement by Medeva, its
Affiliates or Sublicensees, then Medeva may offset the amount of such Third
Party Payments
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
46
52
actually paid by Medeva against future development fees, license fees and
royalty payments due Anthra under this Agreement as such development fees,
license fees and royalty payments become due (up to a maximum total credit in
any calendar year of one-quarter of such amount). Should such future development
fees, license fees and royalty payments prove insufficient to cover all Third
Party Payments (as determined at the end of any calendar year during the term
hereof), Medeva may assert such further rights as it may have under Article XIV
in respect of the shortfall.
ARTICLE XIII
CONFIDENTIALITY
13.1 Confidential Information. Except to the extent permitted by
this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the parties
agree that, at all times during the term of this Agreement and for a five (5)
year period following termination or expiration hereof, the party receiving
information (the "Receiving Party") shall keep completely confidential, shall
not publish or otherwise disclose and, except as permitted hereby, shall not use
directly or indirectly for any purpose any Confidential Information (as defined
in Section 13.2) furnished to it by the other party (the "Disclosing Party")
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise relating to any transaction contemplated
hereby, including information heretofore
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
47
53
furnished to it.
13.2 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article XIII,
"Confidential Information" means any and all non-public, proprietary or
confidential information and data (including all documents, reports, analyses,
compilations, studies and data bases containing such information or data) of
either party hereto or its Affiliates, whether disclosed by such party to the
other prior to or after the date hereof. Confidential Information shall also
include information which is designated as confidential in writing by the
Disclosing Party, whether by letter or by the use of an appropriate stamp or
legend, prior to or at the time any such information is disclosed by the
Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party; provided further that information which
is orally or visually disclosed, or is disclosed in writing without an
appropriate letter, stamp, or legend, shall constitute Confidential Information
if the Disclosing Party, within thirty (30) days after such disclosure, delivers
to the Receiving Party a written document or documents describing the
information and referencing the place and date of such oral, visual, or written
disclosure and the names of the persons to whom such disclosure was made.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Confidential
Information shall not include information which the Receiving Party can
establish by competent proof,

(a) became publicly known other than through a breach of this
Agreement by the Receiving Party, its Affiliates, or their officers, employees,
agents or consultants; or
(b) was in the possession of the Receiving Party, without
obligation of confidentiality prior to the disclosure thereof, or is
subsequently disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party who did not
receive it under any obligation of confidentiality; or
(c) was independently developed by the Receiving Party prior
to disclosure. Confidential Information shall belong to and remain the property
of the Disclosing Party.
13.3 Disclosure of Confidential Information -- Internal. The
Receiving Party shall disclose Confidential Information only to such of the
Receiving Party's or its Affiliates' or Sublicensees' officers, employees,
agents or consultants as is necessary to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement. Each party shall ensure that its, and its Affiliates' and
Sublicensees' officers, employees, agents and consultants are bound by, and take
reasonable efforts to ensure compliance with, the confidentiality terms hereof.
13.4 Disclosure of Confidential Information -- Third Parties. The
Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such
disclosure is reasonably
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
49
55
necessary in filing or prosecuting patent applications, pursuing or defending
litigation, or complying with applicable governmental regulations, provided that
if the Receiving Party intends to make any such disclosure, it shall give
reasonable advance written notice to the Disclosing Party of such intention.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Receiving Party or anyone to
whom it has transmitted Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement
becomes legally required to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the
Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice so that it
may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance
with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order
or other remedy is not obtained or that compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement is waived by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall furnish
only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required and
shall exercise its reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded the information required to be
disclosed.
Furthermore, nothing in this Article XIII shall be construed to
preclude either party from disclosing such information to such third parties as
may be necessary in connection with the development and commercialization of the
Product as contemplated by this Agreement, including, without
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
50
56
limitation, subcontracting and sublicensing transactions in connection
therewith, provided that the Receiving Party shall in each case obtain from the
proposed third party recipient a written confidentiality undertaking containing
confidentiality obligations no less onerous than those set forth in this Article
XIII. Notwithstanding anything in this Article XIII to the contrary, Medeva
shall have the right, subject to Section 6.5, to disclose preclinical and
clinical data and results relating to the Product to qualified medical
professionals for the limited purposes of Marketing the Product and conducting
medical education initiatives reasonably designed to increase Net Sales in the
Territory.
13.5 Care and Return of Confidential Information. The Receiving
Party shall keep Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party in
appropriately secure locations. Upon the expiration or termination of this
Agreement, subject to Section 15.7 and 15.8, any and all Confidential
Information possessed in tangible form by a Receiving Party, its Affiliates or
Sublicensees, or its or any of their officers, employees, agents or consultants
and belonging to the Disclosing Party, shall, upon written request, be
immediately returned to the Disclosing Party (or destroyed if so requested) and
not retained by the Receiving Party, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, or any of
their officers, employees, agents or consultants, provided however
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
51
57
that the Receiving Party required to return Confidential Information may keep a
copy thereof for archival purposes but only in one restricted, secure area, and
provided, further however, that any Confidential Information required to be kept
and retained with respect to FDA rules, regulations and procedures shall be
retained, stored and disposed of according to such FDA rules, regulations and
procedures.

directors, officers, employees and agents, and defend and save each of them

investigations, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (collectively,
"Losses") arising from or occurring as a result of (i) any breach (or alleged
breach) by Anthra of its representations, warranties, or obligations under this
Agreement, (ii) the manufacture, use, or consumption of the Product, or the
storage of the Product prior to the date of shipment thereof to Medeva, all
except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Medeva or

employees, or Affiliates, or (iii) the negligence or willful misconduct of
Medeva or its officers, agents, employees, Affiliates, Sublicensees or
customers.
14.6 Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Each indemnified party (the "indemnitee") agrees to give
the indemnifying party (the "indemnitor") prompt written notice of any Losses or
discovery of fact upon which such indemnified party intends to base a request
for indemnification under Section 14.4 or 14.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the failure to give timely notice to the indemnitor shall not release the
indemnitor from any liability to the indemnitee to the extent the indemnitor is
not prejudiced thereby.
(b) The indemnitee shall furnish promptly to the indemnitor
copies of all papers and official documents in the indemnitee's possession or
control which relate to any Losses; provided, however, that if the indemnitee
defends or participates in the defense of any Losses, then the indemnitor shall
also provide such papers and documents to the indemnitee. The indemnitee shall
cooperate with the indemnitor in providing witnesses and records necessary in
the defense against any Losses.
(c) The indemnitor shall have the right, by prompt notice to
the indemnitee, to participate in the defense of any third party claim forming
the basis of such Losses with
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
59
65
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnitee, and at the sole cost of the
indemnitor so long as (i) the indemnitor shall promptly notify the indemnitee in
writing (but in no event more than 60 days after its receipt of notice of the
claim) that it will indemnify the indemnitee from and against any Losses the
indemnitee may suffer arising out of the claim and (ii) the indemnitor
diligently participates the defense of the claim.
(d) If the indemnitor participates in the defense of the claim
as provided above the indemnitee may at its option relinquish total control to
the indemnitor or participate in such joint defense with its own counsel who
shall be retained, at the indemnitee's sole cost and expense; provided, however,
that neither the indemnitee nor the indemnitor shall consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the claim without the
prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the indemnitee withholds consent in respect
of a judgment or settlement involving only the payment of money and which would
not involve any stipulation or admission of liability or result in the
indemnitee becoming subject to injunctive relief or other relief, the indemnitor
shall have the right, upon notice to the indemnitee within five (5) days of
receipt of the indemnitee's written denial of consent, to pay to the
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
60
66
indemnitee the full amount of such proposed judgment or settlement, including
all interest, costs or other charges relating thereto, and shall pay all
attorneys' fees incurred to such date for which the indemnitor is obligated
under this Agreement, if any, at which time the indemnitor's rights and
obligations with respect to the claim shall cease.
(e) If the indemnitor does not so participate in the defense
of such claim, the indemnitee may conduct such defense with counsel of its
choice and at the sole cost of the indemnitor and may settle such case as it
shall determine in the exercise of its reasonable discretion.
(f) Except as provided in subsection (e) above, the indemnitor
shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by the
indemnitee which is reached without the written consent of the indemnitor.
(g) Except as provided above, the costs and expenses,
including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by any indemnitee in
connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a calendar quarter basis by the
indemnitor, without prejudice to the indemnitor's right to contest the
indemnitee's right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the
indemnitor is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the indemnitee.
14.7 Limitation of Liability. Except as provided in Section 3.8
hereof, Anthra shall not be liable to Medeva for
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
61
67
any special, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of or related to
any failure by Anthra to supply Product to Medeva pursuant to Article III.
ARTICLE XV
TERM AND TERMINATION
15.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date
hereof and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article XV, shall expire
upon the later of (i) the last to expire of any Product orphan drug exclusivity
periods granted in the Territory, (ii) the last to expire of any patents from
time to time within the scope of the Product Know-how, and (iii) the twelfth
anniversary of the Launch.
15.2 Termination for Material Breach. This Agreement shall be
subject to termination by either party in the event of a material breach hereof
by the other party with respect to its obligations, which breach is not cured
within sixty (60) days (or, in the case of a payment default, ten (10) business
days) following written Notice thereof by the non-breaching party; provided,
however, this Agreement may be terminated by either party prior to a final
adjudication of the existence of such material breach under Section 16.5 only
(i) in the case of a payment default or (ii) for an "Established Material
Breach" (as defined in Section 15.3), if such Established Material Breach is not
cured within sixty (60) days following receipt of an "Arbitration Decision" (as
defined in Section 15.3).
15.3 Established Material Breach. In order to establish a material
breach (other than a payment default) entitling a party to terminate this
Agreement under the
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
62
68
proviso to Section 15.2, the party alleging the occurrence of such material
breach (the "Requesting Party") shall submit the issue to an expedited,
non-binding arbitration (the "Material Breach Arbitration") before a mutually
agreed upon arbitrator, or in the event the parties cannot agree upon an
arbitrator, before a panel of three American Arbitration Association approved
arbitrators consisting of one arbitrator chosen by each party and one arbitrator
selected by the two party-chosen arbitrators, (one arbitrator or three
arbitrators, the "Arbitration Panel"). The Arbitration Panel will determine
whether the other party (the "Breaching Party") has committed the material
breach alleged by the Requesting Party, whether the Requesting Party had
committed a prior material breach that justified the subsequent breach by the
Breaching Party, and if the material breach alleged by the Requesting Party has
been committed, whether there is any other evidence which may excuse the
Breaching Party's material breach. An "Established Material Breach" shall mean a
determination (the "Arbitration Decision") by the Arbitration Panel that the
Breaching Party committed the alleged material breach, that the Requesting Party
did not commit a material breach sufficient to excuse the subsequent material
breach by the Breaching Party, and that no other sufficient reason exists to
excuse the breach by the Breaching Party (such sufficiency to be determined by
the Arbitration Panel in its sole discretion). The Arbitration
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
63
69
Decision shall identify any ways by which the Established Material Breach may be
cured. For purposes of determining an Established Material Breach as
contemplated by Section 15.2, the Arbitration Decision shall be deemed final.
The rules of the American Arbitration Association shall govern any Material
Breach Arbitration.
15.4 Non-Binding, Non-Admissible Arbitration Decision.
Notwithstanding the procedure set forth under Section 15.3 and any resulting
outcome, the parties acknowledge and agree that an Arbitration Decision does not
constitute a binding decision on either party with respect to the existence (or
non-existence) of a breach of the Agreement, nor justify the subsequent
termination of the Agreement (or exercise of some other remedy). Either party
may contest the other party's actions following an Arbitration Decision by
commencing a court action pursuant to Section 16.5. The parties further
acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Decision, the findings by the
Arbitration Panel and any testimony from the Arbitration Panel (or testimony
from any person or entity appearing before the Arbitration Panel to the extent
that such testimony relates specifically to the Arbitration Decision) shall not
be admissible either as res judicata (or collateral estoppel) or as evidence in
any court proceedings of any nature whatsoever, including without limitation
proceedings related to equitable remedies or
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
64
70
damages; provided further that the fact that an Arbitration Decision was
rendered shall not be given any weight by any fact finder, judge or jury.
15.5 Termination for Other Events. Either party may terminate this
Agreement if, at any time, the other party shall file in any court or agency
pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state or country, a petition in
bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee of that party or of its assets, or if the
other party shall be served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in
any insolvency proceeding, and such petition shall not be dismissed within sixty
(60) days after the filing thereof, or if the other party shall propose or be a
party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if the other party shall make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors.
15.6 Partial Termination by Medeva. Medeva may terminate this
Agreement with respect to any indications for the Product pursuant to Section
2.12, by written notice to Anthra.
15.7 Effect of Expiration or Termination. The expiration or
termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any rights or
obligations of the parties that may have accrued prior to such expiration or
termination. Termination of this Agreement in accordance with the
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
65
71
provisions hereof shall not limit remedies which may otherwise be available in
law or equity. Medeva agrees to cooperate with Anthra in transferring to Anthra
or a third party, as Anthra may direct, within thirty (30) days of the
expiration or termination hereof, all data, files and other materials in the
possession or under the control of Medeva, relating to the Product, except to
the extent that Medeva requires such data, files and materials for the purpose
of exercising any rights under this Agreement that may survive such termination
or expiration, in which case Medeva shall provide copies thereof to Anthra or
such third party.
15.8 Survival of Rights and Obligations. The rights and obligations
of the parties under Sections 2.2 and 2.3 (only in the event that the Purchase
Option is not exercised), 2.4, 3.2(c), 3.13, 4.2, 6.7, 7.6, 9.2 and 9.3,
Articles X and XI (with respect to Product supplied by Anthra to Medeva),
Section 12.1, Article XIII, Sections 14.4, 14.5, 14.6, 15.7, 15.8, 16.2, 16.5,
16.6 and 16.7, shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
In the event of the termination of this Agreement by Medeva pursuant
to Sections 15.2 or 15.5 after the approval of the NDA for the Product for one
or more indications, the license granted to Medeva in Section 5.1 with respect
to such indications, and the royalty obligations of Medeva under Section 7.3,

requirements to pay development fees, license fees and royalties pursuant to
Article VII and the license grants in Article V, should be held invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect by any court of competent jurisdiction, then, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (a) all other provisions hereof
shall remain in full force and effect and shall be liberally construed in order
to carry out the intent of the parties as nearly as may be possible, (b) such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity,
legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, and (c)
such court may substitute therefor lawful and enforceable provisions that so far
as possible result in the same economic effect, in the absence of which the
parties agree to use their best efforts to negotiate a provision, in replacement
of the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is consistent with
applicable law and accomplishes, as nearly as possible, the original intention
of the parties with respect thereto. To the fullest

power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise
of any other right, privilege or power.
