countries in the Territory that are not Major Countries, Tularik shall have [ *
] Tularik shall provide Lilly with written notice of all decisions by Tularik to

such decision.
(b) In the event Tularik or its sublicensees fail to undertake [ * ]
Diligence in developing and/or obtaining Regulatory Approval of the Product [ *
], such failure shall be considered a material default of this Agreement which
shall (a) automatically cause the license granted to Tularik in Section 2.1 to
terminate with respect to such Major Country(ies); and (b) may entitle Lilly to
terminate this Agreement for cause under Section 8.1(b) if such failure of
diligence applies to [ * ]; provided that Tularik (or its sublicensee) does not
-------- ----
cure such failure within [ * ] days of written notice from Lilly specifying its

practicable, consults within a reasonable time in advance of the proposed
disclosure with the other on the necessity for the disclosure and the text of

the infringer. Any such action will be at [ * ] expense, employing counsel of
its own choosing. To the extent any recovery is obtained [ * ]. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that, [ * ] after being notified by [ * ] of

any country.

------------------------------------
patent or other right owned by it is infringed by the practice of the Licensed
Patents pursuant to the license granted to Tularik under Section 2.1, Tularik
may attempt to resolve the problem raised by the asserted infringement. The
matter shall be deemed resolved if Tularik obtains: [ * ]. If the practice of
the Licensed Patents results in a claim for patent infringement against Tularik,
the Party to this Agreement first having notice of that claim shall promptly
notify the other Party in writing. The notice shall set forth the facts of the
claim in reasonable detail. [ * ] shall have the primary right to defend any
such claim. [ * ] shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate
in any such suit at its sole option and at its own expense. Each Party shall

officers, employees, consultants, Affiliates or sublicensees) harmless from and
against any and all Damages incurred or suffered by Tularik (and its directors,
officers, employees, consultants, Affiliates or sublicensees) (excluding
incidental or consequential Damages suffered or incurred by Tularik directly (as
opposed to incidental or consequential Damages suffered or incurred by third
parties who are, in turn, seeking the same from Tularik, which shall be covered
by the indemnity set forth herein)) as a consequence of:
(1) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Lilly in
this Agreement, provided that, in the case of a breach of any representation or
warranty made by Lilly in this Agreement, notice of a claim based upon any such
breach is received by Lilly prior to the expiration or termination of the
Agreement;

(3) any failure to perform duly and punctually any covenant,

7.2 Notice and Opportunity To Defend. Promptly after receipt by a Party
--------------------------------
hereto of notice of any claim which could give rise to a right to
indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1, such Party (the "Indemnified Party")
shall give the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") written notice describing
the claim in reasonable detail. The failure of an Indemnified Party to give
notice in the manner provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
its obligations under this Section, except to the extent that such failure to
give notice materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend
such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have [ * ], any such matter involving
the asserted liability of the Party seeking such indemnification, except as
provided below. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly (and in any event not less
than [ * ] after receipt of the Indemnified Party's original notice) notify the
Indemnified Party in writing of [ * ], and the Indemnified Party agrees to
cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel [ * ] incurred in
connection with such cooperation shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. If
the Indemnifying Party elects in writing [ * ] the asserted liability, fails to
notify the Indemnified Party of its election [ * ] as herein provided, fails to
admit its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement with respect to the claim
following a written request of the Indemnified Party, or, if in the reasonable
opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, the claim could result in the
Indemnified Party becoming subject to injunctive relief or relief other than the
payment of money damages that could materially adversely affect the ongoing
business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, the Indemnified Party shall
have the right, at its option, to [ * ] such asserted liability by its own
counsel and its reasonable costs and expenses shall be included as part of the
indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party may
[ * ] any claim under this Section 7.2 over the written objection of the other
or any claim that could reasonably result in an adverse effect on the other
Party without such other Party's consent; provided, however, that consent
-------- -------
to [ * ] shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any event, the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party may participate, at their own expense, in the defense
of such asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party defends any claim, the
Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books,
records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate
for such defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2,
(a) the Party conducting the defense of a claim shall [ * ], and (b) the
Indemnifying Party shall [ * ] without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
7.3 Indemnification Payment Adjustments. The amount of any Damages for
-----------------------------------
which indemnification is provided under this Section 7 shall be reduced to take
account of any net tax benefit and shall be increased to take account of any net
tax detriment arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages or from
the receipt of any such indemnification payment and shall be reduced by the
insurance proceeds received and any other amount recovered, if any, by the
Indemnified Party with respect to any Damages; provided, however, that an
Indemnified Party shall [ * ]. If any Indemnified Party shall have received any
payment pursuant to this Section 7 with respect to any Damages and shall
subsequently have received insurance proceeds or other amounts with respect to
such Damages, then such Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an
amount equal to the difference (if any) between (1) the sum of the amount of
those insurance proceeds or other amounts received and the amount of the payment
by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7 with respect to such
Damages and (2) the amount necessary to fully and completely indemnify and hold
harmless such Indemnified Party from and against such Damages; provided,
--------
however, in no event [ * ].

7.4 Indemnification Payment. Upon the final determination of liability and
-----------------------
the amount of the indemnification payment under this Section 7, the appropriate
Party shall pay to the other in immediately available funds, within [ * ] after
such determination, the amount of any claim for indemnification made hereunder.
7.5 Survival. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive any
--------
termination of this Agreement with respect to actions of the Parties during the
term of the Agreement or the term of any license to Tularik, whichever occurs
later. Each Indemnified Party's rights under this Section 7 shall not be deemed
to have been waived or otherwise affected by such Indemnified Party's waiver of
the breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained in
or made pursuant to this Agreement, unless such waiver expressly and in writing
also waives any or all of the Indemnified Party's right under Section 7.

or (4) and such proceeding or action remains undismissed or unstayed for a
period of more than [ * ], then the other Party may by written notice terminate
this Agreement in its entirety with immediate effect.
(e) Termination for Default.
-----------------------
(1) Tularik and Lilly each shall have the right (except as

commenced curing said default(s) within said [ * ] and is not diligently
pursuing completion of same, then such Party immediately may terminate this
Agreement with respect to such Product.
(2) This Section 8.1(e) shall not be an exclusive remedy and
shall not be in lieu of any other remedies available to a Party hereto for any
default hereunder on the part of the other Party.
(f) Rights Upon Termination.
-----------------------
(1) Lilly Rights Upon Termination. In the event of termination of
