royalties to Alkermes of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX of Net Sales of Licensed Products
sold by Genentech or by Genentech's Distributors, in each country in the United
States and the Territory.
(b) OFFSETS FOR THIRD PARTY ROYALTIES. The royalties otherwise
payable by Genentech hereunder shall be reduced by XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX of the
amounts that Genentech must pay to any third party due to manufacture, use, or

(d) ROYALTY REDUCTION. Until December 14, 2000, the royalties
otherwise payable by Genentech hereunder shall be reduced to XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX of
Net Sales of Licensed Products sold by Genentech or by Genentech's Distributors,
effective automatically if (and when) Alkermes commences development and

pursuant to this Agreement, of any pharmaceutical formulation of human growth
hormone using any Alkermes Technology and any human growth hormone or analogues
thereof (or nucleic acids meant to be incorporated into cells, causing
production of human growth hormone or analogues thereof) not within the

such time period that the reduced royalty rate herein should have applied (plus
interest thereon at a rate equal to XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
3.3 MODE OF PAYMENT OF ROYALTIES. For purposes of determining when a
sale of a Licensed Product occurs, the sale shall be deemed to occur on the
earlier of: (i) the date the Licensed Product is shipped, or (ii) the date of
the invoice to the purchaser of the Licensed Product. All royalty payments shall
be made within ninety (90) days of the end of each calendar quarter in which the
sale was made. Such royalty payments shall be accompanied by a detailed
statement that shall include for each country in which sales of Licensed
Products occurred: the gross sales (if available) and Net Sales in each
country's currency or in the Euro, if applicable; the applicable royalty rate;
the royalties payable in each country's currency or the Euro, if applicable,
including an accounting of all deductions taken in the calculation of Net Sales
and a separate accounting for all Combination Products sold and the formulas
used in the calculation of royalties owed thereon; the applicable exchange rate
to convert from each country's currency or the Euro, if applicable, to United
States Dollars; and the royalties payable in United States Dollars. Royalty
payments shall first be calculated in the currency in which sales took place or
in the Euro, if applicable, and then converted to United States Dollars based on
the spot rate as reported by Reuters at the end of each calendar quarter in
which the sale was made. All royalty payments hereunder shall be made to
Alkermes in United States Dollars by bank wire transfer in immediately available
funds to such account designated by Alkermes. Genentech shall provide notice at
least five (5) days prior to the wire transfer date of the amount of payment,
the nature of the payment (with reference to the applicable section of this
Agreement) and the date of receipt of good funds. Such notice should be given to
the Treasurer of Alkermes at the address set forth in the Notices and Deliveries
Section of this Agreement or such other address directed by Alkermes. All
payments hereunder shall be made net of any withholding taxes, duties, levies,
fees or charges required to be withheld under the law, on behalf of the other
party. Genentech shall make any withholding payments due on behalf of Alkermes
and shall promptly provide Alkermes with written documentation of any such
payment sufficient to satisfy any requirements of the United States Internal
Revenue Service related to an application by Alkermes for a foreign tax credit
for such payment. Genentech agrees to take reasonable and lawful steps as
Alkermes may request to minimize the amount of tax to which payments to Alkermes
are subject, if such steps are not detrimental to Genentech.
3.4 RESTRICTIONS ON PAYMENT. If by law, regulations or fiscal policy of
a particular country, remittance of royalties in United States Dollars is
restricted or
11

forbidden, notice thereof will be promptly given to Alkermes, and payment of the
royalty shall be made by the deposit thereof in local currency to the credit of
Alkermes in a recognized banking institution designated by Alkermes. When in any
country the law or regulations prohibit both the transmittal and deposit of
royalties on sales in such a country, royalty payments shall be suspended for as
long as such prohibition is in effect and as soon as such prohibition ceases to
be in effect, all royalties that Genentech would have been under obligation to
transmit or deposit but for the prohibition, shall forthwith be deposited or
transmitted promptly to the extent allowable. Genentech will first obtain
written agreement from Alkermes before selling a Licensed Product in a country
known to Genentech to restrict or forbid remittance of royalties in United
States Dollars.
3.5 RECORDS RETENTION. Genentech agrees to keep for at least three (3)
years, records of all sales of Licensed Products in sufficient detail to permit
Alkermes to confirm the accuracy of Genentech's royalty calculations. At the
request of, upon at least five (5) days' prior written notice, and at the
expense of Alkermes, Genentech shall permit a nationally recognized,
independent, certified public accountant appointed by Alkermes and reasonably
acceptable to Genentech to examine these records solely to the extent necessary
to verify such calculations, provided that such accountant has entered into a
confidentiality agreement with Genentech substantially similar to the
confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, limiting the use and disclosure of
such information to purposes germane to this Section 3.5. Results of any such
examination shall be made available to Alkermes and to Genentech. If such
examination reveals an underpayment of royalties by ten percent (10%) or more,
Genentech shall pay all costs of such examination. In the event such accountant
concludes that additional royalties are owed, the additional royalties shall be
paid within thirty (30) days of the date Alkermes delivers to Genentech the
accountant's written report reflecting such conclusion. This Section 3.5 shall
survive any termination of this Agreement for three (3) years.
3.6 MILESTONE PAYMENTS FOR CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROCESS SCALE-UP.
Genentech shall pay Alkermes the amounts specified below if the listed events
are completed on or before the listed dates and Alkermes performs the clinical
development and process scale-up work necessary for the completion of the
particular event.

4. DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Parties have established a Joint Development Committee ("JDC") to
provide oversight on all aspects of product development and to review the
progress of preclinical development, clinical development and regulatory
filings. The JDC will have three representatives appointed by each of Genentech
and Alkermes. Such representatives will have expertise in any of the areas of
clinical development, process sciences, manufacturing, marketing or regulatory
affairs; however, the JDC members will not be personally responsible for
implementing the Development Plans. Either Party may replace any or all of its
representatives at any time upon written notice to the other Party. The JDC will
meet at least once each calendar quarter or at such other times as directed by
Genentech. While the Alkermes representatives may comment on any development and
regulatory filing plans, Genentech shall have the final say and shall direct the
process, except that Alkermes shall make the final determination if there is a
disagreement on a matter that would lead to a substantial increase in the total
manpower committed by Alkermes or the scheduling of Alkermes critical facilities
when the scheduling is less than one year in advance.

(a) Alkermes shall sponsor clinical trials for the 2nd
Generation Formulation as provided in Exhibit B (the "Clinical Trials").
Alkermes shall be solely responsible for and shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to perform the Clinical Trials as described in Exhibit B. For
the purposes of this Agreement, "commercially reasonable" efforts shall mean
those efforts expended by Alkermes on its own high priority projects. Alkermes
shall prepare in collaboration with Genentech all documentation necessary for
associated filings with regulatory agencies and Genentech shall make all such
filings as described in Exhibit B. However, Genentech may, in its sole
discretion, determine to have Alkermes make filings for Regulatory Approval. The
JDC will oversee clinical development and regulatory filings and carry out plans
for clinical development and regulatory filings communicated to it by Genentech.
Exhibit B sets forth the Clinical Trials to be conducted, along with the

Alkermes to do so. Exhibit B attached hereto sets forth the anticipated
timeline, requirements and costs for scaling-up the manufacturing process for
making the 2nd Generation Formulation of Licensed Product for clinical and
commercial use. Genentech shall not be responsible for any of Alkermes' capital
cost of its facilities except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit B or approved by
the JDC for the facility in which commercial Licensed Product(s) are to be
manufactured. The Parties will prepare and agree upon a separate document
setting forth the anticipated timeline, requirements and costs for scaling-up
the manufacturing process for other applications of the Licensed Product.
4.6 FUNDING FOR PRECLINICAL DEVELOPMENT, CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT, SUPPLY
AND SCALE-UP OF LICENSED PRODUCTS.
(a) In connection with the development of the Licensed
Products, the 1999/2000 Budget is attached hereto as Exhibit D and the proposed
2001/2002 Development Budget is attached hereto as Exhibit E. The 2001/2002
Development Budget shall be reviewed by the JDC prior to the fourth calendar

funded to Alkermes through the purchase of Preferred Stock under the Stock
Purchase Agreement and the payment of the Bonus Milestone Payment, if any. The
1999/2000 Budget shall be reviewed by the Parties on a quarterly basis to update
the budget forecast and to assess the need for additional funding. Any increase
in the amount of funding shall require the agreement of both Parties and such
funding shall be through the purchase of additional Preferred Stock. Alkermes
shall submit a detailed monthly report to Genentech within four (4) weeks after
the end of each month during which it expends Development Funds in 1999 and
2000. Such report shall set forth the activities completed, including
development and scale-up efforts and supply of 1st and 2nd Generation
Formulations for clinical use, the Full Time Equivalent (FTE) utilization rate
broken down by functional area and the costs for such activities, which shall be
reasonably in accordance with amounts previously agreed upon in the 1999/2000
Development Budget by the JDC for such activities. In the event of a change of
control as described in Section 9.9 herein, exercise of the rights described in
the Discontinuation Agreement prior to December 31, 2000 shall result in the
funding of the
15
16

REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH "X" AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
Development Plans pursuant to paragraph (c) below rather than through this
paragraph (b).
(c) Genentech shall reimburse the costs incurred by Alkermes
in accordance with the Development Plans and the 2001/2002 Development Budget,
and for 1st and 2nd Generation Formulations of Licensed Product supplied for
clinical use in 2001 and 2002, at Alkermes' actual cost, as determined by
Alkermes in accordance with the FTE rate agreed upon for such years by the JDC
at the beginning of each Alkermes fiscal year, to be consistently applied
throughout such years, plus the external costs of performing any clinical trials
agreed upon by the JDC. In 2001 and 2002, Alkermes shall submit a detailed
monthly report to Genentech as described in Section 4.6 (b) above, together with
an invoice for the total amount to be reimbursed by Genentech, which shall be
reasonably in accordance with the amounts agreed upon by the JDC for the
2001/2002 Development Budget. Genentech shall reimburse Alkermes' costs within
thirty (30) days of receiving each invoice. With regard to supply of Licensed
Product for clinical use by Genentech, Alkermes will only ship to an invoice
Genentech for Licensed Product ordered by Genentech pursuant to binding purchase
orders.
(d) Alkermes will keep reasonably detailed records of its
costs of performing the obligations set forth in this Agreement, as determined
by Alkermes consistent with the FTE rate methods used by Alkermes in connection
with the prior research and development activities conducted in collaboration
with Genentech plus other external costs as agreed upon by the JDC.
4.7 DEVELOPMENT DUE DILIGENCE. Alkermes shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to meet the timelines set forth in the Development Plans.
5. MANUFACTURE OF LICENSED PRODUCT
5.1 MANUFACTURE BY ALKERMES. Alkermes shall be responsible for, and
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, supply all clinical and
commercial requirements of Licensed Product in either final vial form or bulk
form as agreed upon by the Parties. The provisions governing production of
material for clinical trials are set forth in Section 4.4. The provisions
governing the production of commercial material shall be set forth in a Supply
Agreement to be entered into by the Parties on or before June 30, 1999. The
price of supply of commercial material in the Supply Agreement will be a
purchase price per vial (or similar quantity) of XX of the gross invoiced sales
price per vial (or similar quantity) used in the calculation of Net Sales less
the deductions used in the calculation of Net Sales. Prior to Commercial
Introduction, the purchase price will be based on the expected gross invoiced
sales price and expected deductions
16
17

REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH "X" AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
upon Commercial Introduction. If Alkermes supplies only bulk product in this
situation, Genentech shall be entitled to deduct its Fully Burdened
Manufacturing Cost of filling and finishing Licensed Product from the amount
otherwise payable to Alkermes. Genentech will supply the necessary amount of
growth hormone free-of-charge to enable Alkermes to fulfill its supply
obligations. Alkermes will permit Genentech representatives to review
periodically Alkermes' quality control procedures and records, and to visit
Alkermes' facilities, upon prior written notice to Alkermes and at reasonable
times for quality assurance purposes.
5.2 MANUFACTURE BY GENENTECH. If in Genentech's reasonable opinion,
Alkermes is unable to manufacture all clinical and commercial quantities of any
Licensed Product, Alkermes shall transfer to and fully enable Genentech with the
then most current version of all materials, regulatory filings, knowhow,
reagents and expertise necessary for Genentech to undertake the manufacture of
Licensed Products. All transfers of materials and information to Genentech shall
be free of charge to Genentech if the transfer occurs due to a breach of this
Agreement by Alkermes. If the transfer occurs due to any other inability to
perform of Alkermes, Genentech shall reimburse Alkermes for all reasonable costs
of transfer of materials and information. Alkermes shall continue to manufacture
Licensed Product until, in Genentech's reasonable opinion, Genentech is fully
enabled to manufacture. Manufacture of Licensed Product may be done partially by
Alkermes and partially by Genentech in this situation. If that is the case, and
the situation is caused by a breach of this Agreement by Alkermes, the price
otherwise payable by Genentech to Alkermes under the provisions of Section 5.1
shall be reduced to XXXX of the gross invoiced sales price per vial (or similar
quantity) used in the calculation of Net Sales less the deductions used in the
calculation of Net Sales. Otherwise, the price otherwise payable will be
prorated based on the percentage of the total manufacture of Licensed Product
being done by each Party.
6. COMMERCIALIZATION. Genentech agrees to pursue a diligent sales and marketing
effort for a Licensed Product to be sold by Genentech relative to other products
of similar commercial potential that are being sold and marketed by Genentech. A
default by Genentech with respect to pursuing a diligent sales and marketing
effort for a Licensed Product in one country shall not constitute a default by
Genentech with respect to any other country.

other than through any act or omission of the receiving Party in breach of this
Agreement; or
(iii) became known to the receiving Party after disclosure
from a source that had a lawful right to disclose such information to others; or
(iv) was independently developed by the receiving Party where
such independent development can be established by written documentation.
8.4 INTEGRATION. This Section 8 supersedes any confidential disclosure
agreement between the Parties as to the subject matter hereof. Any confidential
information under any such agreement shall be treated as Confidential
Information hereunder.
9. TERM; TERMINATION
9.1 TERM; TERMINATION AT FULL TERM. This Agreement shall commence as of
the Effective Date and, except as provided in the next sentence or unless sooner
terminated as provided hereunder, shall terminate on a country-by-country basis
on the later of (i) 10 years after Commercial Introduction in that country, or
(ii) the expiration of the last Valid Claim of an Alkermes Patent in that
country. Notwithstanding any termination at the full term of this Agreement,
which shall occur upon termination as described in the preceding sentence in the
United States and each country in the Territory, or termination as otherwise
provided in this Section 9, the provisions of Sections 8, 10, 11 and 12 will not
terminate on said date but will continue in full effect. Upon termination of the
royalty obligations in any country, Genentech shall thereafter have in
perpetuity a fully paid up, royalty-free exclusive license in that country under
the Alkermes Technology to import, make, have made, use, offer for sale and sell
Licensed Products in the Field of Use without any accounting to Alkermes.
9.2 UNILATERAL TERMINATION. Genentech shall have the right following
ninety (90) days written notice to Alkermes to terminate this Agreement at any
time for any reason except for material breach by Alkermes, which shall be
governed by Section 9.3 hereof. In the event that a Licensed Product has
received Regulatory Approval and Alkermes is manufacturing such Licensed Product
for commercial sale, Genentech may so terminate this Agreement only after
providing six (6) months written notice. In any

event, Alkermes shall be allowed to spend Development Funds or, if all
Development Funds have been expended, receive reimbursement from Genentech, for
any non-cancelable obligations it has incurred for which Genentech would
otherwise be obligated to support under the Development Budget(s) if this
Agreement had not been terminated. If manufacturing technology has been
transferred to Genentech by Alkermes other than by reason of a material breach
by Alkermes, then Genentech shall transfer all such technology back to Alkermes,
at Alkermes' expense. If Genentech terminates this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 9.2, all rights granted hereunder by Alkermes to Genentech shall
immediately revert to Alkermes and neither Party shall have any further
obligation to the other hereunder except to the extent otherwise accrued or
provided for under this Agreement. In the event Genentech terminates this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2 prior to payment of the Bonus Milestone
Payment, Genentech shall make the Bonus Milestone Payment on the termination
date.
9.3 BREACH. Failure by either Party to comply with any of the material
obligations contained in this Agreement shall entitle the other Party (the
"Non-Defaulting Party") to give to the Party (the "Defaulting Party") in default
written notice specifying the nature of the default and requiring it to make
good such default. If such default is not cured within ninety (90) days after
the receipt of such notice, the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled, without
prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, in
addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, immediately
to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Defaulting Party.
With respect to either party, a default with respect to its obligations in one
country shall not constitute a default with respect to its obligations in any
other country. The termination of this Agreement by Alkermes as a result of
Genentech's breach under this Section 9.3 shall terminate all rights granted to
it hereunder, except that Genentech shall pay the Bonus Milestone Payment. The
right of a Party to terminate this Agreement, as hereinafter provided, shall not
be affected in any way by its waiver or failure to take action with respect to
any previous default. Upon any termination by Genentech under this Section 9.3,
the Parties shall have the rights and obligations set forth in Section 9.7.
9.4 INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY. Either Party may, in addition to any
other remedies available to it by law or in equity, terminate this Agreement, by
written notice to the other Party in the event the other Party shall have become
insolvent or bankrupt, or shall have made an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or there shall have been appointed a trustee or receiver of the other
Party or for all or a substantial part of its property, or any case or
proceeding shall have been commenced or other action taken by or against the
other Party in bankruptcy or seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution,
winding-up, arrangement, composition or readjustment of its debts or any
21

other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
act or law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect, or there shall have
been issued a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process
against any substantial part of the property of the other Party, and any such
event shall have continued for sixty (60) days undismissed, unbonded and
undischarged.
9.5 ACCRUED RIGHTS. Termination, relinquishment or expiration of this
Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights, which shall
have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to such termination or
expiration. Such termination, relinquishment or expiration shall not relieve
either Party from obligations, which are expressly indicated to survive
termination or expiration of this Agreement.
9.6 OWNERSHIP OF CLINICAL DATA. All data produced as a result of
clinical trials conducted under this Agreement shall be owned by Genentech,
except to the extent in conflict with the requirements of any regulatory agency
from which the Parties have received, will apply to receive or have applied to
receive Regulatory Approval, and such ownership shall survive any expiration or
termination of this Agreement. Genentech shall be named as the applicant in any
regulatory submission to be made hereunder and shall be the holder of all
Regulatory Approvals. Alkermes may use such data for any purpose contemplated by
this Agreement. Such data shall be considered Disclosed Confidential
Information.
9.7 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UPON TERMINATION. In the event of
termination by Genentech for a material breach by Alkermes or upon expiration of
this Agreement, if Alkermes was previously manufacturing Licensed Product for
Genentech, Alkermes shall remain responsible for its supply obligations
hereunder until Alkermes has fully transferred and enabled Genentech or its
designee to perform all of Alkermes' supply obligations. Such transfer shall
include making its personnel and other resources reasonably available to
Genentech as necessary to effect an orderly transition of manufacture of
Licensed Product, with the costs of providing such personnel and resources to be
borne by Genentech, in the event of expiration, and by Alkermes, in the event of
termination by Genentech for material breach. Such transfer will take place, at
Genentech's option, at any time after expiration in any of the Major Market
Countries or the United States until expiration in the last country, in the
event of transfer due to expiration. In addition, Genentech shall thereafter
have an exclusive license in all countries after termination by Genentech for a
material breach by Alkermes for which it shall pay a XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX royalty on
Net Sales if Alkermes had previously completed a Phase I or Phase I/II clinical
trial with respect to such Licensed Product. In the event of a termination by
Genentech for a material breach by Alkermes or upon expiration of this
Agreement, Genentech shall reimburse Alkermes for Development Funds expended
through the date of termination, so long as such funds were spent in
22

accordance with the 1999/2000 Development Budget or 2001/2002 Development
Budget, as applicable.
9.8 OPTION TO COMMERCIALIZE. If Genentech terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.2 or if Genentech does not make the Bonus Milestone
Payment by December 31, 2001, Alkermes will have the option to continue the
development and commercialization of the 1st and 2nd Generation Formulations of
the Licensed Products pursuant to a license and cost plus supply agreement to be
negotiated in good faith by the parties and with commercially reasonable terms.
9.9 CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event of a change of control of Alkermes
Parent, Alkermes Parent, its third party acquiror or its successor will have the
rights described in the Discontinuation Agreement between Genentech and Alkermes
Parent dated the date hereof (the "Discontinuation Agreement"). It is
acknowledged that any exercise by Alkermes Parent of its rights under the
Discontinuation agreement shall not in and of itself trigger a termination of
this Agreement.
10. PATENT RIGHTS
10.1 SOLE INVENTIONS. The Parties recognize that either Party may
independently and separately make inventions during the course of this Agreement
relating to human growth hormone, delivery systems for human growth hormone,
PLGA encapsulation of proteins or otherwise related to the scope of this
Agreement but not as a result of activities performed pursuant to this
Agreement. Each Party shall retain title to inventions and knowhow, whether or
not patentable, made or owned solely by it or on its behalf which do not arise
out of the activities performed by it or on its behalf under this Agreement
("Sole Knowhow"). In such event, the Party making the invention shall be the
sole owner of that invention and of any patent applications and patents thereon
(including inventor's certificates) and shall be solely responsible for the
filing, prosecution and maintenance of all such patent application and patents.
Except as provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall have any right to use
or license knowhow to which the other Party has sole title.
10.2 JOINT PATENTS. All inventions conceived or first reduced to
practice as a result of activities performed pursuant to this Agreement shall be
jointly owned by Genentech and Alkermes. In addition, the event that it is
determined, in accordance with applicable law, that both: (i) employees or
agents of Genentech or any other persons obliged to assign such invention to
Genentech, and (ii) employees or agents of Alkermes or any other persons obliged
to assign such invention to Alkermes, are joint inventors of an invention, the
Parties shall jointly own patents, inventor's certificates and applications
therefor covering such invention. With respect to any sole or joint
23
24
THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH "X" AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
inventions arising as a result of activities performed under this Agreement,
Alkermes and Genentech shall require the Alkermes and/or Genentech inventors to
assign all such inventions to Genentech and Alkermes as joint owners; provided
however, that within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Agreement for
any of the reasons provided in Section 9 hereof, Alkermes and Genentech shall
assign all issued and pending United States and foreign patents and applications
covering inventions arising hereunder according to the following: (i) patent
applications or patents naming only Alkermes inventors shall be assigned to
Alkermes, (ii) patent applications or patents naming only Genentech inventors
shall be assigned to Genentech and (iii) patent applications and patents naming
both Alkermes and Genentech inventors shall remain jointly assigned to Alkermes
and Genentech. With respect to any joint invention or jointly owned invention,
Genentech shall prosecute all such patents relating to Genentech Technology and
Alkermes shall prosecute all such patents relating to the Alkermes Technology.
The party having such obligation to prosecute will be referred to herein as the
"Controlling Party". The Controlling Party shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to undertake such filings, prosecutions and maintenance at its sole
expense, provided that: (a) the Controlling Party notifies the non-Controlling
Party within one (1) month after the filing of any patent application by the
Controlling Party and (b) the Controlling Party provides the non-Controlling
Party, a reasonable time prior to taking or failing to take any action that
would substantially affect the scope or validity of rights under any patent
applications or patents (including but not limited to substantially narrowing or
canceling any claim without reserving the right to file a continuing or
divisional application (which shall not be unreasonably delayed), abandoning any
patent or not filing or perfecting the filing of any patent application), with
notice of such proposed action or inaction so that the non-Controlling Party has
a reasonable opportunity to review and assume the prosecution or maintenance
thereof. In the event that the Controlling Party fails to undertake the filing
of a patent application (or continuing or divisional application) within ninety
(90) days of being designated as the Controlling Party with respect to such
patent application, the non-Controlling Party may undertake such filing,
prosecution and maintenance at its sole expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Parties shall assist each other to the maximum extent reasonable in securing
intellectual property rights resulting from activities conducted hereunder. As
to enforcement of jointly owned patents, including actions against an infringer,
the Parties shall consult with each other in good faith as to the best manner in
which to proceed. The Parties agree as a basic principle that in the case of
such actions against infringers, the expenses incurred and damages awarded shall
be for the account of the Party or Parties which take such actions to the extent
of their financial participation therein.
10.3 INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS RELATING TO GENENTECH TECHNOLOGY. Genentech
shall defend, at its sole cost and expense, any legal proceedings brought
against it or

Alkermes claiming that Alkermes' manufacture of any Licensed Product under this
Agreement constitutes an infringement of third party patent rights arising out
of the use of Genentech Knowhow or the practice of Genentech Patents, except to
the extent that any such proceedings shall arise from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Alkermes and shall indemnify and hold Alkermes harmless
from any damages or expenses incurred or awarded as the result of any settlement
related thereto agreed to by Genentech or judgment against Alkermes, provided
that Alkermes gives Genentech written notice of any such claim or the
institution of any suit or suits against it within thirty (30) days after
Alkermes has knowledge of any such claim or suit or suits, that Alkermes assist
Genentech, at Genentech's expense, in the investigation of, preparation for and
defense of any such claim or suit or suits, and that Alkermes not compromise or
settle any such claim or suit or suits without Genentech's written consent.
Alkermes' failure to notify Genentech of such claim or suit or suits within
thirty (30) days shall not obviate its right to receive indemnification
hereunder so long as such failure does not materially prejudice the defense of
such claim or suit or suits. Genentech shall promptly notify Alkermes in writing
of the institution of any suit by a third party against Genentech for patent
infringement involving the manufacture, use, sale, distribution or marketing of
Licensed Product arising out of the activities carried out pursuant to this
Agreement.
10.4 INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS RELATING TO THE ALKERMES TECHNOLOGY. Alkermes
shall defend, at its sole cost and expense, any legal proceedings brought
against it or Genentech claiming that Alkermes' manufacture of any Licensed
Product or Genentech's manufacture, use, sale, distribution or marketing of
Licensed Product hereunder constitutes an infringement of third party patent
rights arising out of the use of Alkermes Knowhow or the practice of Alkermes
Patents, except to the extent that any such proceedings shall arise from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Genentech, and shall indemnify and
hold Genentech harmless from any damages or expenses incurred or awarded as the
result of any settlement related thereto agreed to by Alkermes or judgment
against Genentech, provided that Genentech gives Alkermes written notice of any
such claim or the institution of any suit or suits against it within thirty (30)
days after Genentech has knowledge of any such claim or suit or suits, that
Genentech assist Alkermes, at Alkermes' expense, in the investigation of,
preparation for and defense of any such claim or suit or suits, and that
Genentech not compromise or settle any such claim or suit or suits without
Alkermes' written consent. Genentech's failure to notify Alkermes of such claim
or suit or suits within thirty (30) days shall not obviate its right to receive
indemnification hereunder so long as such failure does not materially prejudice
the defense of such claim or suit or suits. Alkermes shall promptly notify
Genentech in writing of the institution of any suit by a third party against
Alkermes for patent infringement involving the manufacture, use, sale,
distribution or marketing of Licensed Product arising out of the activities
carried out pursuant to this Agreement.
