purposes of developing and producing Products and shall be carried out generally
in accordance with Appendix B.
1.2 Each party shall appoint a Program Manager for overall management of
the Development Program and such Program Managers shall by mutual agreement
provide the direction of the program and the scope of work to be undertaken
under the Development Program; provided, however, that Kos shall determine the
focus of work which the Program Managers mutually agree can be carried out

1.9 All equipment, supplies and other items purchased by either party
for the conduct of the Development Program, shall be the sole and exclusive
property of the purchasing party. For purposes hereof, all such items purchased
by Fuisz with funds provided by Kos shall be deemed to be items purchased and
owned by *****.
ARTICLE 2 - TERM AND TERMINATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
2.1 The initial term of Phase I of the Development Program shall be
*********** weeks from the Effective Date. The parties shall use reasonable
efforts to carry out the Development Program during such initial term. However,
if due to unforseen circumstances unavoidable delays attributable solely to
Fuisz are encountered, or force majeure events are encountered in carrying out
activities, the initial term of the Development Program shall be extended for a
time equal to the delay at no additional cost to Kos. The Development Program
shall be automatically extended on a week by week basis after the initial term
provided that Kos may terminate the Development Program anytime after the
initial term or at the end of each successive weekly extension of the
Development Program, and Fuisz may terminate the Development Program at the end
of the *********** weekly extension thereof or at the end of each successive
weekly extension thereafter, respectively upon ********* calendar days advance
notice in writing to the other party.
2.2 If either party shall default, fail to perform, or otherwise commit
a breach of a material obligation or any covenant contained herein with respect
to the Development Program, and shall fail to remedy such default, failure to
perform or breach within ********** days after its receipt of written notice
thereof from the other party, such other party may terminate the Development
Program and incur no further obligation hereunder, it being understood, however,
that if within such ********** days after receipt of such notice, the party in
default shall have rectified its default, then the Development Program and the
terms hereof relating to the Development Program shall be restored as if no
termination of the Development Program had occurred. The term of this Agreement
(or any extension thereof) shall be tolled by the time required by the
defaulting party to cure the default.
3
2.3 This Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and terminate
at the end of the term of the Development Program, including any extensions
thereof.
2.4 Except for Kos and Fuisz jointly owned technology and patents and
Fuisz solely owned technology and patents, Fuisz hereby acknowledges that it
shall not have the right, following expiration of the Development Agreement
term, to use technology to the extent obtained from Kos, patents based thereon
or any materials to the extent obtained from Kos, for any purpose without
obtaining a license from Kos, which license Kos, in its sole discretion, may
grant or deny.
2.5 Except as set forth in the License Agreement and except for Kos and
Fuisz jointly owned technology and patents and Kos solely owned technology and
patents, Kos hereby acknowledges that it shall not have the right, following
expiration of the Development Agreement term, to use Technology to the extent
obtained from Fuisz, patents based thereon or any materials to the extent
obtained from Fuisz, for any purpose without obtaining a license from Fuisz,
which license Fuisz, in its sole discretion, may grant or deny.
ARTICLE 3 - FUNDING OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
3.1 Kos shall provide total funding for the Development Program as set
forth in Appendix B, in the amount of **************************************8
*****************************************************************************
************************* of which shall be paid to Fuisz within ********* days
of the Effective Date, and ******************************** of which shall be
paid within *********** days following the end of Phase 1 and
******************************** of which shall be paid within ********* days
following completion of the ********************* of Appendix B. This amount of
funding may be increased by mutual agreement. This funding shall not include the
cost of the ********************* which shall be funded and paid for
*************. In the event Kos chooses to proceed to Phase 2 and/or Phase 3 as
set forth in Appendix B, unless Fuisz determines further development is not
feasible, Kos shall pay to Fuisz additional amounts commensurate with the
activity involved and as mutually agreed, consistent with the cost of Phase 1
and with the level of activity, for Phase 2 and for Phase 3, payable within
*********** days of commencement of the phases.
3.2 In the event the Development Program is extended by mutual written
agreement of the parties, each successive one (1) week extension after the
initial term shall be funded and paid to Fuisz in advance at a rate of
********************************** per week with respect to extension of Phase
I, and with respect to Phases 2 and 3, such weekly amounts as are consistent
with the additional funding set forth in Section 3.1; provided, however, that if
the man-day charges for work carried out at Fuisz during the initial term are
less than the funding actually paid
4
under the initial term (exclusive of charges under Section 1.8) then additional
funding for such extensions under this Section 3.2 shall not be invoiced or due
until such time as the man-day charges equal such funding provided for the
initial term. Other costs as set forth in Section 1.8 associated with successive
weekly extensions incurred under the Development Program, shall be invoiced once
each month and will be due *************** days from date of mailing of the
invoice.
3.3 All work done at Fuisz shall be at *************** rates of Fuisz
for pharmaceutical development work. Verification of the man-days charges for
work under the Development Program and the schedule of applicable existing
charge rates shall be made available to Kos at reasonable intervals upon written
request. In the event Kos requests work be done in excess of the current funding
during the initial term of the Development Agreement or any extensions thereof,
Fuisz shall invoice Kos for such excess work on a monthly basis. In the event
either party terminates the Development Program, Kos shall be obligated to pay
Fuisz for all work done by Fuisz under the Development Program up to the date of
termination, and if terminated by Kos for breach by Fuisz, Fuisz shall refund
any advanced funding payments made by Kos in excess of payments for work done.
