9.5 The confidential undertakings and agreements of the Receiving Party shall survive termination
or expiration of this AGREEMENT. Promptly upon termination of this AGREEMENT and request of the
Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return to the Disclosing Party all originals and copies
of documents or written materials (including electronic notes or documents) of the Disclosing Party
containing any Confidential Information and any notes or written materials created by the Receiving
Party or summaries thereof containing any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or other
Confidential Information in its possession. This AGREEMENT shall not be construed as a grant of any
right or license to the Receiving Party with respect to Confidential Information or the Disclosing
Party’s Product or as a requirement to either party to enter into any further arrangement with
respect to Confidential Information or the Disclosing Party’s Product.
9.6 The confidentiality obligations of this AGREEMENT shall be maintained for a period of five
years beyond the expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT.
9.7 Provided all obligations of this agreement are maintained, the parties understand and
acknowledge that the other may now market or have under development products which are competitive
with products now offered or which may be offered by the other, and the parties’ communications
hereunder will not serve to impair the right of other to develop, make, use, procure, or market
products or services now or in the future which may be competitive to those offered by the other
party nor for the parties to disclose any planning or other information to the other.
9.8 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that any Receiving Party
hereafter becomes obligated by mandatory applicable law, regulatory rule or judicial or
administrative order to disclose Confidential Information or any portion thereof, to any third
party, governmental authority or court, the Receiving Party shall IMMEDIATELY notify the Disclosing
Party thereof of each such requirement and identify the Confidential Information so required
thereby, so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy with
respect to narrowing the scope of such requirement and/or waive Receiving Party’s compliance with
the provisions of this AGREEMENT. The parties will consult with each other and cooperate fully on
the provisions of this Agreement to be redacted in any filings made by CUSTOMER with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise required by applicable law.
9.9 Both parties agree that should this AGREEMENT be breached, money damages would be inadequate to
remedy such a breach. As a result, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek, and a court
of competent jurisdiction may grant, specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief
as a remedy for any such breach of this Agreement. Such remedy shall be in addition to all other
remedies, including money damages, available to a non-breaching party at law or in equity.
9.10 Upon request, each party shall return all copies of the Confidential Information to the other
party, except for a single copy to be kept by its legal counsel in its confidential file for the
Page 15 of 38 BVL — PHARMION Manufacturing and Service Agreement

purpose of determining compliance with its obligations of this agreement.
9.11 Neither party will issue any press release or other public announcement relating to any
activities involving the other party without the prior written consent of the other party, except
where such announcements are required by law or regulation. The parties will use all reasonable
efforts to consult with the other and cooperate with respect to wording of any such announcement.
PRODUCT labeling (primary, secondary, insert) and government filings may indicate that the PRODUCT
has been MANUFACTURED for CUSTOMER by BVL.
9.12 New techniques, inventions, processes and know-how (hereinafter “New Developments”) that are
useful in the MANUFACTURING, using or selling of the PRODUCT may be developed by BVL during the
performance of this AGREEMENT. To the extent CUSTOMER’S Confidential Information is the principle
basis for any such New Development, then CUSTOMER shall have ownership of such New Development, and
BVL shall have a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, license to
make, use and sell New Development so long as BVL’S use does not compromise CUSTOMER’S Confidential
Information. Notwithstanding the grant of such license, BVL shall not use such New Development or
CUSTOMER’S Confidential Information to compete, or assist third parties to compete directly with
CUSTOMER in the sale of PRODUCT. BVL agrees to cooperate in the filing and prosecution of all New
Development patent applications owned by CUSTOMER, but CUSTOMER shall bear all associated expenses.
As to New Developments that may be developed by BVL during the performance of this AGREEMENT and
do not involve CUSTOMER’S Confidential Information, BVL grants CUSTOMER a royalty-free,
irrevocable, worldwide, transferable and sub-licensable non-exclusive license to make, have made,
use or sell the New Development in connection with PRODUCT.

in writing at least twenty-four (24) months prior to expiration of the then existing term.
10.2 Each
party agrees to meet within [...***...] prior to the end of the [...***...] of this

by BVL, BVL shall perform such functions reasonably necessary or required in connection with the
orderly wind-down of any active Project as required by the terms of this AGREEMENT or federal,
state, or local laws or regulations, including applicable AGENCY regulations. In the event of

actual date of such termination within thirty (30) days of CUSTOMER’S receipt of all results,
reports, data, samples, and other deliverables to be provided pursuant to this AGREEMENT, reduced
by all prior payments made by CUSTOMER for said services and production. In the event the funds
received by BVL prior to such termination exceed costs incurred to the date of termination, BVL
shall refund the difference to CUSTOMER within thirty (30) days after the effective date of
termination.
10.6 CUSTOMER shall have the right to terminate this AGREEMENT upon twenty four (24) months written
notice to BVL in the event CUSTOMER is purchased by, or CUSTOMER enters into a licensing,
partnership, joint venture, or marketing and distribution AGREEMENT with, a third party which has
the interest and capability to supply finished parenteral dosage forms for the PRODUCT, or with
ninety days written notice when a AGENCY does not license the PRODUCT for marketing, the AGENCY
withdraws marketing approval, or CUSTOMER otherwise terminates the commercial sale of PRODUCT in
all TERRITORIES. If CUSTOMER terminates pursuant to either provision, CUSTOMER shall reimburse BVL
for any purchases of special materials used for PRODUCT that cannot be canceled, unless these
materials can be utilized by BVL on other projects. The reimbursement shall be made within thirty
(30) days upon receipt by CUSTOMER of an invoice itemizing the material costs. BVL agrees to
transfer to CUSTOMER any materials for which CUSTOMER has paid under this provision. Termination
under this provision shall have no effect on payment obligations that have accrued up to the
effective date of termination. CUSTOMER shall have no further obligations to BVL.
10.7 BVL may elect to terminate this AGREEMENT under the circumstances set forth below after giving
CUSTOMER notice and an opportunity to cure in accordance with the provisions of

CONFIDENTIAL
Section 10.3 if (i) CUSTOMER fails to provide a Forecast and PURCHASE ORDERS at a required time;

MONTHLY STORAGE FEES
Effective through [...***...]
BVL has limited storage capacity. Therefore, customers are expected to have their PRODUCT(S)
shipped to them no later than 30 days after BVL Quality Operations has released their PRODUCT and
has shipped the documents identified Attachment D to CUSTOMER. Should unforeseen events lead to a
request by a customer for storage beyond this 30 day grace period, the customer must request such
storage by BVL in writing at least 15 days before the initial 30 day grace period has expired. The
request will be granted only if BVL has sufficient storage capacity to accommodate the request.
Then, the following terms will apply.
Monthly storage fees are assessed on a per lot basis, and begin to accrue 30 days following the BVL
release date of the BATCH by BVL’S Quality Operations Dept. BVL will request a separate PURCHASE
