InterMune shall order the requested amounts of DRUG PRODUCT. There
shall be no annual minimum
purchase obligations imposed upon InterMune for the DRUG PRODUCT unless and until results from
InterMune’s daily INFERGEN® Phase III clinical trial (IRHC-0001) (“DIRECT TRIAL”)
becomes available and such results are [***]
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
12.
[***] As of the date hereof, InterMune estimates that the results of the DIRECT TRIAL will be
available in the [***] Within a reasonable amount of time, BI Austria and InterMune shall
cooperate and work together in good faith to commence and conclude negotiations on the annual
minimum and maximum purchase obligations for InterMune and the annual minimum and maximum supply
obligations of BI Austria such that no later than two (2) years prior to the estimated time for BI
Austria’s and BI Pharma’s FDA approval to manufacture DRUG PRODUCT for market supply, BI Austria
and InterMune shall have reached agreement on the annual minimum and maximum purchase and supply
obligations of the Parties, which agreement shall be set forth in a separate addendum hereto.
3.2.2 If InterMune requires more DRUG PRODUCT than is set forth in the current firm forecast,
BI Austria shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to supply InterMune with DRUG
PRODUCT as requested; provided that for the amounts of DRUG PRODUCT in excess of such forecast
which BI Austria is unable to supply, despite such commercially reasonable efforts, InterMune may
use a secondary source manufacturer in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.7.
3.2.3 If InterMune reduces the forecast for [***] by an amount in excess of [***] (net of any
increases in actual orders for these [***] [***], then InterMune shall be [***] which was [***] of
[***] [***] at the [***] [***] of the unit price of the DRUG PRODUCT then in effect.
3.2.4 For planning purposes only, no later than January 31, 2006 InterMune will provide to BI
Austria a non-binding estimate of InterMune’s requirements for the DRUG PRODUCT for the [***]
following the estimated commercial market launch of each such presentation of the DRUG PRODUCT,
which non-binding estimate shall be attached hereto as Exhibit 13.
3.3 Purchase Orders
3.3.1 All purchases of DRUG PRODUCT hereunder shall be made pursuant to written purchase
orders provided to BI Austria by InterMune. To the extent that the terms of a purchase order of
InterMune or of BI Austria’s or BI Pharma’s “General Conditions of Sale” are inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.
3.3.2 BI Austria shall guarantee that at the date of MANUFACTURER’S RELEASE all DRUG PRODUCT
supplied to InterMune shall have a minimum residual shelf life of not less than [***] off the shelf
life of the DRUG PRODUCT in existence at the date of the manufacturing of such DRUG PRODUCT. The
Parties acknowledge and agree that the shelf life at the time of the manufacturing of the DRUG
PRODUCT is dependent on the information on the current expiry of the DRUG PRODUCT.
3.3.3 BI Austria shall ship all DRUG PRODUCT as set forth in Section 3.4 by the date and in the
quantities specified in the applicable purchase order. BI Austria shall be obligated to accept any
purchase order within the range of permitted variation in the forecasted quantities as
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
13.
set forth in Section 3.2.1. and 3.2.2. Any other purchase order shall be binding on BI Austria only
if it is accepted by BI Austria, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld. If BI Austria
does not accept such a purchase order, then InterMune may use a secondary source manufacturer for
such purchase order in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.7.
3.3.4 InterMune shall be obligated to buy and BI Austria shall be obligated to sell only the
quantities of DRUG PRODUCT which are subject to a purchase order accepted by BI Austria. Any
purchase order (or portion thereof) for which InterMune has not received a written rejection from
BI Austria within [***] of BI Austria’s receipt of such purchase order shall be deemed accepted by
BI Austria. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to DRUG PRODUCTS
ordered by InterMune for its clinical supply requirements, the number of vials or syringes supplied
by BI Austria shall not exceed the number of vials or syringes subject to the applicable purchase
order submitted by InterMune; provided, however, that if the number of vials or syringes BI Austria
is able to supply falls below the number of vials or syringes ordered by InterMune in such purchase
order and such lesser number is within a reasonable range of the number ordered by InterMune, BI
Austria shall notify InterMune in writing and inquire as to whether such lesser number of vials or
syringes is acceptable and if not, whether BI Austria should produce an additional batch of DRUG
SUBSTANCE to produce enough vials or syringes to satisfy InterMune’s purchase order. If InterMune
notifies BI Austria that such lesser number of vials or syringes is acceptable to InterMune, then
the applicable purchase order shall be deemed to be amended to provide for such lesser number of
vials or syringes and BI Austria shall be deemed to have accepted such purchase order in accordance
with Section 3.3. On the other hand, if InterMune notifies BI Austria that BI Austria should
manufacture an additional batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE to produce the number of vials or syringes
ordered by InterMune in its purchase order submitted to BI Austria, then (i) the Parties will
mutually agree upon a reasonable delivery date for such vials or syringes derived from such
additional batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE, (ii) BI Austria shall be obligated to produce the additional
batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE, (iii) InterMune shall be obligated to purchase any excess vials or
syringes of DRUG PRODUCT produced by BI Austria from such additional batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE, (iv)
the purchase order submitted to BI Austria by InterMune shall be deemed amended to account for any
excess vials or syringes resulting from the additional batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE and to account for
the agreed upon delivery date for the vials or syringes derived from such additional batch of DRUG
SUBSTANCE and (v) such purchase order shall be deemed accepted by BI Austria in accordance with
Section 3.3.
3.4 Shipment of DRUG PRODUCT and Material by BI Austria
3.4.1 The DRUG PRODUCT and all material (e.g. samples) shall be shipped [***] either BI Pharma’s
facility in Biberach, Germany or BI Austria’s facility in Vienna, Austria, as the case may be, to
InterMune or as directed by InterMune, in accordance with Incoterms 2000 as published by the
International Chamber of Commerce. InterMune’s designated carrier shall be used to ship DRUG
PRODUCT to the site designated by InterMune. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the only
deviation from the definition of “EX WORKS” is that BI Austria shall be responsible and bear the
cost of stowage and loading the DRUG PRODUCT onto the InterMune designated carrier such that the
risk of loss and title shall pass
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
14.
from BI Austria to InterMune only upon completion of the loading by BI Austria of the DRUG PRODUCT
onto the InterMune designated carrier. Risk of loss in transit by InterMune’s designated contract
carrier shall lie with InterMune, except where such loss is caused by BI Austria’s or BI Pharma’s
negligence.
3.4.2 BI Austria will provide or will have provided assistance to InterMune regarding
necessary procedures for exportation and/or importation of DRUG PRODUCT. BI Austria shall also
provide to InterMune every two (2) months the shipping schedule for the DRUG PRODUCT.
3.4.3 In the event that DRUG PRODUCT, which has been ordered by InterMune pursuant to a
purchase order is not shipped to InterMune within [***] calendar days of FINAL RELEASE for reasons
solely and directly assignable to InterMune (e.g., lack of shipping instructions, etc.), the risk
of the deterioration or perishing of the DRUG PRODUCT resulting therefrom passes to InterMune. BI
Austria shall render invoice and InterMune shall pay for such DRUG PRODUCT when the invoice becomes
due. BI Austria shall be entitle to claim reimbursement for commercially reasonable storage costs
incurred by BI Austria after expiry of the [***] calendar day time limit. In the circumstances
where InterMune has paid for the DRUG PRODUCT but such DRUG PRODUCT is not available for shipment
(e.g., analytical testing issues, regulatory filing issues), the Parties will cooperate with one
another in good faith and mutually agree with one another on the appropriate allocation between the
Parties of risk of deterioration or perishing of the DRUG PRODUCT.
3.5 Testing and Rejection
3.5.1 Within [***] business days of its receipt of DRUG PRODUCT at such destination as may be
designated by InterMune, InterMune may perform such tests and samplings as are appropriate to
determine whether such DRUG PRODUCT meets the applicable DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS. If InterMune
refuses acceptance of DRUG PRODUCT, then InterMune shall inform BI Austria in writing within [***]
further business days of any aspect in which such DRUG PRODUCT fails to conform to the DRUG PRODUCT
SPECIFICATIONS. If BI Austria does not receive such a notice within [***] business days of
InterMune’s receipt of such DRUG PRODUCT, then InterMune shall be deemed to have accepted the DRUG
PRODUCT; provided that InterMune shall have the right to revoke its acceptance of such goods if it
later discovers latent defects. A latent defect is a deviation which constitutes a breach of one
or more of BI Austria’s warranties pursuant to Sec. 9.2.1 through 9.2.5 of this Agreement, which
was not reasonably discoverable at the time of receipt and the cause of which is assignable solely
to BI Austria (or BI Pharma).
3.5.2 If BI Austria receives a notice from InterMune pursuant to Section 3.5.1 that InterMune
does not accept any DRUG PRODUCT supplied hereunder, then BI Austria shall immediately start
re-testing the DRUG PRODUCT using the retained samples in order to evaluate process issues and
other reasons for such non-compliance.
3.5.3 Regardless of whether BI Austria agrees with InterMune’s rejection of such DRUG PRODUCT,
if requested in writing by InterMune, BI Austria shall use reasonable efforts
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
15.
to promptly replace such allegedly defective DRUG PRODUCT, the costs of which shall be borne as set
forth in Section 3.5.4.
3.5.4 In the event that BI Austria’s re-testing does not verify InterMune’s reasons for
rejecting such DRUG PRODUCT, the Parties shall mutually agree on an independent laboratory that
shall determine by applying validated product-specific analytical methods whether such DRUG PRODUCT
meets the DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS. The conclusions of this independent laboratory shall be
binding upon both Parties. If such laboratory determines that such DRUG PRODUCT does meet the DRUG
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS, then InterMune shall [***]. If such laboratory determines that such DRUG
PRODUCT does not meet the DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS, then BI Austria shall [***]
3.5.5 Neither Party may destroy any DRUG PRODUCT alleged not to meet the DRUG PRODUCT
SPECIFICATIONS until the independent laboratory determines whether such DRUG PRODUCT meets the
applicable DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS and provides written notification to the Parties with
respect to such determination, unless BI Austria accepts InterMune’s basis for such rejection.
Thereafter, BI Austria shall have the obligation to destroy or have destroyed, at its cost, all
such rejected DRUG PRODUCT. Upon BI Austria’s written request and at BI Austria’s cost, InterMune
shall either destroy or return to BI Austria any rejected DRUG PRODUCT. The Parties agree that in
the event of destruction of DRUG PRODUCT, the method of such destruction shall be in compliance
with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
3.5.6 Claims on account of quantity, loss or damages to DRUG PRODUCT (other than claims that
such DRUG PRODUCT does not meet the DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS and latent defects not reasonably
detectable upon inspection) will be dispatched by InterMune in writing within [***] business days
following receipt thereof. BI Austria shall use reasonable efforts to replace the quantity of goods
which such claims apply, which replacement shall be at InterMune’s expense unless such claims are
due to the negligence of BI Austria.
3.6 Increase of Manufacturing Capacity
3.6.1 As set forth in Section 3.2.1, the Parties will agree upon the annual minimum and
maximum supply obligations of BI Austria no later than two (2) years prior to the estimated time
for BI Austria’s and BI Pharma’s FDA approval to manufacture DRUG PRODUCT for market supply, which
supply capacity obligations shall be set forth in a separate addendum hereto. After the annual
minimum and maximum purchase and supply obligations of the Parties are agreed upon, should it
become at any time apparent that a higher DRUG PRODUCT demand is necessary, InterMune will notify
BI Austria thereof. BI Austria shall inform as soon as reasonably possible InterMune of the
respective costs for guaranteeing the appropriate reserved capacity for manufacturing the amount
exceeding the original amount agreed upon by the Parties. Upon agreement on the costs BI Austria
shall reserve the capacity needed for the increased demand of DRUG PRODUCT.

16.
3.7 Second Source Manufacturer
3.7.1 BI Austria acknowledges that it is critical that InterMune be ensured continuity of
supply of DRUG PRODUCT for use in clinical trials and market supply. BI Austria shall ensure
continuity of supply of DRUG PRODUCT for use in clinical trials and market supply. Nevertheless,
due to the potentially growing market demand of DRUG PRODUCT, BI Austria’s ability to manufacture
and supply DRUG PRODUCT shall be carefully observed. Should at any time BI Austria have any
indication that continuity of supply can not be ensured, BI Austria shall immediately inform
InterMune thereof in writing. In this event the matter would be immediately forwarded to the
STEERING COMMITTEE to discuss second source manufacture of DRUG PRODUCT reasonably and in good
faith.
3.7.2 In the event the STEERING COMMITTEE decides that it is appropriate for InterMune to
establish a second source manufacturer, InterMune agrees to provide the first opportunity to
qualify as a second source manufacturer for PRODUCT to a BI Austria AFFILIATE. If such an AFFILIATE
is — as foreseeable — unable to supply InterMune’s DRUG PRODUCT requirements then InterMune shall
be free to choose an alternate supplier. In this case BI Austria shall assist InterMune in
transferring the MANUFACTURING PROCESS to a third party supplier by providing reasonable technical
assistance and documentation as necessary for a transfer to a party well skilled in the manufacture
of such biotech products at InterMune’s cost.
3.7.3 In addition, the parties, through the STEERING COMMITTEE shall work together in good
faith to develop a risk mitigation plan to minimize any risk of interruption in the supply of DRUG
PRODUCT for use in clinical trials and market supply, which plan may include, among other things,
production of excess DRUG PRODUCT or materials relating thereto (e.g., DRUG SUBSTANCE) that can be
used as a buffer and/or the off-site storage of certain DRUG PRODUCT or materials relating thereto.
3.8 MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH
3.8.1 In the event of a MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH, InterMune shall provide BI Austria written
notification of such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH. Upon BI Austria’s receipt of such notice, the Parties
will promptly (but in no event any later than [***] business days from the date of InterMune’s
notice to BI Austria of the MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH) agree upon a timetable (not to exceed [***]
months) and activity plan pursuant to which BI Austria will cure such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH. In
the event that the Parties are unable to agree upon a timetable and
activity plan within the
aforementioned [***] business day period after good faith discussions and negotiations, InterMune
shall [***]. In the event the Parties do agree upon a timetable and activity plan and BI Austria
fails to cure such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH within the agreed upon timetable and activity plan,
InterMune shall have the right to [***].
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions.
17.
In the event, that
(i) BI Austria AFFILIATE can not qualify as a second source manufacturer for DRUG PRODUCT or
(ii) in the event such a BI Austria AFFILIATE is — as foreseeable — unable to supply
InterMune’s DRUG PRODUCT requirements and
(iii) provided that DRUG PRODUCT supply as requested by InterMune by a different second source
manufacturer, a company experienced in manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals derived from [***] and
selected by InterMune could demonstrably take place earlier than a MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH by BI
Austria could be remedied, BI Austria shall assist InterMune as requested in [***] [***]
3.8.2 In the event that BI Austria reasonably anticipates that there is a substantial
likelihood that a MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH will occur, BI Austria shall promptly notify InterMune in
writing thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parties shall promptly confer to discuss the
circumstances and magnitude of such potential MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH, and to determine in good
faith whether there are any reasonable steps that BI Austria could take to avoid such MATERIAL
SUPPLY BREACH. If InterMune is not reasonably satisfied that BI Austria will be able to avoid such
MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH, then InterMune shall forward this issue to the STEERING COMMITTEE to
determine whether it is necessary or desirable to establish a second source manufacturer in
accordance with Section 3.7.
3.9 Quality Agreement
Promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations for an
appropriate Quality Agreement which shall be in final form and executed by the Parties not later
than one hundred fifty (150) calendar days after the Effective Date. Such Quality Agreement shall
contain such terms and conditions as are customary for the manufacture of pharmaceutical products,
including but no limited to storage of records, retention of samples and the like.
4. Prices and Payment
4.1 The prices to be paid by InterMune for the SERVICES and DRUG PRODUCT/DRUG SUBSTANCE provided
hereunder have been agreed to by the Parties and are listed in Exhibit 9
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been

[***] Payments by InterMune to BI Austria hereunder shall be in Euros; provided, however, that on
each invoice, the applicable exchange rate to convert Euros to US Dollars as of the invoice date
shall be noted. [***].
4.2 [Intentionally omitted.]
4.3 The price for any services constituting OTHER SERVICES hereunder will be agreed upon by the
Parties at the time the Parties agree on the scope of such OTHER SERVICES. For accounting
purposes, BI Austria may render an invoice to InterMune for any such OTHER SERVICES which are part
of an overall work package (work in progress) performed and completed (discrete and definable
sub-packages) as of the December 31st of each year during the term of this Agreement,
even if the overall work package to which such services or performances apply, has not yet fully
been completed.
4.4 The price for the SERVICES, OTHER SERVICES and purchase price for DRUG PRODUCT shall be paid to
BI Austria no later than [***] [***] after the date that BI Austria’s invoice is received by
InterMune.
4.4.1 Payment of the invoice amounts shall be made in Austria, [***] into an account with such
Austrian credit institution as shall be notified by BI Austria to InterMune from time to time.
4.4.2 All payments owed to BI Austria by InterMune on the basis of accounts rendered shall be
made in such a way that [***] shall be [***] that are [***] on such invoice amounts (e.g. customs
duties, VAT, but specifically excluding income taxes). In the event of a default in payment for
whatever reason, default interest at a rate of [***] p.a. shall be payable on the outstanding
amount due. BI Austria reserves the right to claim any damage exceeding such amount that shall have
been caused by such delay, subject to Section 11.1.

Agreement and relating to the manufacture of the DRUG SUBSTANCE and of DRUG PRODUCT. The
documentation concerning manufacture of DRUG SUBSTANCE shall be stored at BI Austria and concerning
manufacture of DRUG PRODUCT shall be stored in Biberach. Storage of retained samples of DRUG
SUBSTANCE as well as DRUG PRODUCT shall be at BI Austria.
5.2.2 Copies of all documentation and information relating to the manufacture, processing,
packaging and shipping of DRUG PRODUCT and/or required to support InterMune’s BLA or other
regulatory submissions, including but not limited to information relating to batch records,
methods, equipment and the facility, will be provided by BI Austria to InterMune for review and
inclusion as necessary in InterMune’s regulatory submissions.
5.2.3 All such records shall be maintained for a period not less than five (5) years from the
date of expiration of each batch of DRUG PRODUCT to which such records pertain, or such longer
period as may be required by local law and the rules or regulations of the FDA or other applicable
HEALTH AUTHORITIES. Following the expiration of such required retention period, prior to the
destruction of any such record, BI Austria shall give written notice thereof to InterMune, and
InterMune shall have the right to request, receive and retain such records with no further
compensation to BI Austria. Samples shall be maintained for such period of time and may be

humans shall solely be made by and under the responsibility of InterMune. InterMune may perform
on-site review of DRUG SUBSTANCE specific documentation for FINAL RELEASE of any batch of DRUG
PRODUCT at times to be mutually agreed upon between the Parties in good faith, but in no event
later than [***] calendar days after access is provided to InterMune to MANUFACTURER’S RELEASE
documentation by BI Austria. If InterMune does not perform FINAL RELEASE within the aforementioned
[***] calendar day period, DRUG PRODUCT shall be deemed accepted by InterMune unless InterMune has
communicated with BI Austria about DRUG PRODUCT related issues which could prevent InterMune from
performing the FINAL RELEASE within the aforementioned time period.
5.4 Third Party Services
Except as specifically provided for herein, BI Austria will not contract out to any third
party any part of the SERVICES or OTHER SERVICES or the manufacture and testing of DRUG SUBSTANCE
or DRUG PRODUCT, without prior written approval from InterMune, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
5.5 Consent to Changes
BI Austria will not make any changes to BI Austria’s, and shall ensure that BI Pharma shall
not make any changes to BI Pharma’s, respective manufacturing facilities, equipment, testing
procedures, validation, suppliers of raw materials and components or documentation systems that are
related to or would have an impact on the DRUG PRODUCT and having a non-trivial impact on the DRUG
PRODUCT, without the prior written consent of InterMune and solely as is permitted by cGMP. In the
event that a supplier of raw material is unable to deliver the respective raw material in time for
scheduled manufacturing BI Austria is free to choose another supplier, provided that such supplier
supplies such raw material that fully meets the respective raw material specification, and subject
to BI Austria’s providing InterMune prior written notice thereof.
5.6 Inspections by HEALTH AUTHORITIES
5.6.1 BI Austria shall secure that during APPROVAL inspections at BI Austria’s and/or BI
Pharma’s facilities by any applicable HEALTH AUTHORITIES, BI Austria shall give InterMune prior
written notice thereof promptly following BI Austria’s receipt of notice of such inspection, so
that representatives of InterMune may attend and participate in such inspections, for example, to
answer DRUG PRODUCT and clinical trial related questions.
5.6.2 BI Austria shall advise, and shall ensure that BI Pharma shall advise, InterMune in writing
immediately of any requests by any applicable HEALTH AUTHORITIES for inspections at either of BI
Austria’s or BI Pharma’s facilities, but in any event, no later than [***] business days prior to
the scheduled date of such inspection. Upon reasonable notice, InterMune or its representatives may
attend only such portions of such inspections or audits that deal with DRUG PRODUCT related issues,
due to BI Austria’s other secrecy obligations.
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
21.
Access to such facilities may be subject to reasonable restrictions customarily placed upon
visitors to the site.
5.6.3 BI Austria also agrees to notify InterMune within [***] business days of any written or
oral inquiries, notifications, or inspection activity by any HEALTH AUTHORITIES (or any third party
authorized by the HEALTH AUTHORITIES) in regard to DRUG PRODUCT. BI Austria shall provide a
reasonable description to InterMune of any such inquiries, notifications or inspections promptly
(but in no event later than [***] business days) after such visit or inquiry. BI Austria shall
furnish to InterMune (a) as soon as possible but in no event more than [***] business days after
receipt, any report or correspondence issued by the HEALTH AUTHORITIES (or a third party authorized
by a HEALTH AUTHORITIES) in connection with such visit or inquiry, including but not limited to,
any FDA Form 483 (List of Inspectional Observations) or warning letter, and (b) not later than
[***] business days prior to the time it provides to a HEALTH AUTHORITY, copies of any and all
proposed written responses or explanations relating to items set forth above (each, a “Proposed
Response”), in each case purged only of trade secrets or other confidential or proprietary
information of BI Austria that are unrelated to its obligations under this Agreement or are
unrelated to DRUG PRODUCT. BI Austria shall discuss with InterMune any comments provided by
InterMune on the Proposed Response; provided that InterMune shall have the final decision with
respect to those portions of the final written response or explanation to be provided to the HEALTH
AUTHORITIES that relate to DRUG PRODUCT manufactured hereunder. After the filing of a response with
the appropriate HEALTH AUTHORITIES, BI Austria will notify InterMune of any further contacts with

5.7.2 If BI Austria can not remedy such non-compliance, whether with respect to the BI Austria or
the BI Pharma facility, within [***] business days of notice thereof BI Austria’s response shall
include a written plan and timetable including reasonable timelines. Considering the fact that BI
Austria is dependent on certain third parties to supply services to it, BI Austria shall use best
efforts to assign such timelines to these third parties accordingly in order to meet all timelines
for such remedy. Such plan and timetable shall be subject to
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
22.
InterMune’s approval, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. In the event that BI Austria does
not respond with a plan and timetable as described above within such [***] day period, or InterMune
does not approve such proposed plan and timetable for good reason, the issue shall be forwarded to
the STEERING COMMITTEE for resolution. In the event InterMune approves such plan and timetable, but
BI Austria fails to remedy such non-compliance in accordance with such plan and timetable, then
InterMune shall [***]
5.8 Manufacturing Facilities

performance under this Agreement at their own expense. All costs resulting out of the SERVICES
carried out at BI Austria or BI Pharma, respectively, related to compliance with regulatory
requirements that were not in effect as of the Effective Date concerning equipment and systems
solely DRUG PRODUCT-related shall be at InterMune’s expense.
5.10 Environmental
BI Austria shall, and shall ensure that BI Pharma shall, properly dispose of any and all
hazardous waste materials involved with the manufacture of DRUG SUBSTANCE and DRUG PRODUCT that are
generated or resulting from the activities performed hereunder, if any, in full compliance with all
applicable local laws and regulations at BI Austria’s sole liability and expense.
6. Co-operation and co-ordination between the Parties
6.1 PROJECT TEAM
6.1.1 The day-to-day responsibilities of the Parties with respect to the SERVICES, OTHER SERVICES
and the manufacturing and supply of DRUG SUBSTANCE and DRUG
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
23.
PRODUCT shall be overseen by the PROJECT TEAM, which shall be responsible for deciding operational
and scientific issues arising out of the SERVICES, the OTHER SERVICES or the manufacturing and
supply of DRUG SUBSTANCE and DRUG PRODUCT and unanimously agreeing in good faith with respect to
the monitoring of the SERVICES, the OTHER SERVICES and the manufacturing and supply of DRUG
SUBSTANCE and DRUG PRODUCT.
6.1.2 The PROJECT TEAM shall consist of a team consisting of equal numbers of people, if
feasible, each appointed by InterMune and BI Austria and notified to the other, which appointees
may be changed from time to time by the appointing Party on written notice to the other Party. Each
member of the PROJECT TEAM shall be a person of appropriate skill and experience. Either Party may
change its own designated PROJECT TEAM members provided, however that the total number of members
of the PROJECT TEAM may not be changed if feasible, nor the number of members representing
InterMune decreased, without the Parties’ prior written agreement. InterMune’s and BI Austria’s
respective members of the PROJECT TEAM as of the Effective Date are listed in Exhibit 6.
6.1.3 During the term of this Agreement, the PROJECT TEAM shall meet regularly to communicate
updates and provide a forum for decision-making and rapid resolution of issues arising under this
Agreement. Meetings of the PROJECT TEAM may be conducted by telephone conference, videoconference
or face-to-face meetings as agreed by the PROJECT TEAM, provided that the PROJECT TEAM shall meet
at least once a year in a face-to-face meeting at a mutually agreed location.
6.1.4 Decisions of the PROJECT TEAM shall be reflected in the approved minutes. Meeting
minutes shall be prepared jointly by the PROJECT MANAGERS to record all issues discussed and

days of receipt thereof shall be deemed approved by such Party and followed by issuance of one (1)
copy of the minutes duly executed by the Parties’ PROJECT MANAGER.
6.1.5 In the event that the PROJECT TEAM is unable to reach agreement on any issue and is
unable to make decisions arising out of operational and scientific issues within ten (10) business
days, each Party may call in an expert of its own choice to render advice to the PROJECT TEAM.
Based on the advice of such expert(s) and the team members’ know-how, the PROJECT TEAM will try to
resolve such issue. In the event that the PROJECT TEAM fails to reach agreement on an issue within
thirty (30) business days of first undertaking resolution of such issue, such issue shall then be
referred to the STEERING COMMITTEE for immediate resolution.
6.1.6 The Parties’ respective members of the PROJECT TEAM shall cooperate with one another in
good faith to ensure the timely reporting of any issues arising under this Agreement that may come
to a Party’s attention and to agree on a path forward to resolve such issues as promptly as
possible. Furthermore, the Parties’ respective members of the PROJECT TEAM shall use their best
efforts to provide to one another documents as far in advance as possible so the members will have
a reasonably sufficient time period to adequately review such documents without danger of causing
any delay in the activities set forth in this Agreement. This Section 6.1.6 is not intended to and
shall not effect any specific timelines for the performance of obligations set forth elsewhere in
this Agreement.

for unanimously agreeing in good faith all issues on which the PROJECT TEAM has been unable to
reach agreement and, where possible, make decisions arising out of such issues as well as carry out
the specific functions, including but not limited to decisions with an impact on costs and
timelines of the SERVICES or OTHER SERVICES to be carried out under this Agreement. Each Party may
change its own designated STEERING COMMITTEE members by providing written notice thereof to the
other Party; provided, however that the total number of members of the STEERING COMMITTEE may not
be changed, if feasible, nor the number of members representing InterMune decreased, without the
Parties’ prior written agreement. The members of the STEERING COMMITTEE are listed in Exhibit 11.

is referred to it, such issue shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officer of InterMune and the
Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director of BI Austria for prompt, good faith resolution. If such
individuals do not reach agreement on such issue within fifteen (15) days of such referral, then
each Party shall be free to pursue all available legal and/or equitable remedies.

forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the PROJECT TEAM
nor the STEERING COMMITTEE shall have the right to amend this Agreement except as may be expressly

not substitute for either Party’s ability to exercise any right, nor excuse the performance of any
obligation, set forth herein.

(the “INDEMNITOR”) in writing of any action or claim by a third party against the INDEMNITEE or of
other matter in respect of which the INDEMNITEE intend to claim such indemnification; provided,
however, that the failure to provide such notice within a reasonable period of time shall not
relieve the INDEMNITOR of any of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the INDEMNITOR
is prejudiced by such failure. The INDEMNITEE shall permit the INDEMNITOR at the INDEMNITOR’s
discretion to settle any such action, claim or other matter, and the INDEMNITEE agrees to the

12.1 Each Party shall treat confidentially all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of the other Party, and
shall not use or disclose such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION other than it is expressly permitted under
this Agreement. Each Party will take steps to protect the other Party’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

12.3
Neither Party shall disclose CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of the
other Party in any patent filings
without the prior written consent of such other Party.

by either Party without the prior written consent of the other. The Parties agree that the public
announcement of the execution of this Agreement shall be by one or more press releases mutually
agreed to by the Parties. The Parties shall agree in advance on a period of time for review of
such draft press release, which period of time shall not exceed ten (10) calendar days from the
date of receipt by the other Party of the draft press release. In the event of a failure of a
Party to return a draft of a press release with its proposed amendments or modifications to such

Party any further opportunity for providing input. Each Party agrees that it shall cooperate fully
and in a timely manner with the other with respect to all disclosures to the Securities and

expiration of this Agreement for a period of five (10) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to any Amgen INFORMATION and Amgen MATERIALS (as such terms are defined in the Confidential
Disclosure Agreement dated February 17, 2005 among InterMune, BI Austria and Amgen), such Amgen
INFORMATION and Amgen MATERIALS shall be governed and protected under the terms of such
Confidential Disclosure Agreement.
13. Duration and Termination
13.1 Duration
This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue in force until
December 31, 2015. This Agreement shall automatically renew for successive five (5) year periods,
provided, however, that either Party may elect not to renew this Agreement by providing the other
Party written notice of such election at least thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of
expiration of the then-current term. In the event that BI Austria decides not to renew such
Agreement, upon InterMune’s request, BI Austria shall provide reasonable assistance to InterMune in
transferring the MANUFACTURING PROCESS to another supplier designated by InterMune by providing
reasonable technical assistance and documentation relating to the manufacture, testing and supply
of DRUG SUBSTANCE and the DRUG PRODUCT as necessary. Such reasonable assistance shall encompass
provision of documentation in the most current version which is not yet in possession of Intermune
at the time, and technical assistance by BI Austria to an extent to be agreed upon by the Parties
in good faith. Technical assistance shall be provided [***]. In the event that the transfer of the
MANUFACTURING PROCESS is not yet completed and InterMune has not yet received the necessary
regulatory approvals from the appropriate HEALTH AUTHORITIES to market INTERFERON ALFACON-1
manufactured by a third party manufacturer (despite InterMune’s use of diligent efforts) upon the
expiration of the aforementioned thirty-six (36) month notice period, BI Austria shall continue to
supply to InterMune and InterMune shall continue to purchase from BI Austria DRUG PRODUCT for a
maximum period of [***] following the thirty-six (36) month notice period.
13.2 Early Termination
13.2.1 In the event that a Party materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement (with the
exception of a MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH which shall be subject to Section 3.8.1), the non-breaching
Party may terminate this Agreement upon [***] prior written notice to the breaching Party, unless
the breaching Party cures such breach to the non-breaching Party’s reasonable satisfaction during
such thirty day period. In the event the identified breach is

in good faith to agree on an action plan to cure such breach; provided, however, that if the
Parties are unable to agree on such an action plan after good faith efforts by each Party within
[***], then the non-breaching Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to
the breaching Party. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event that a Party materially
breaches its obligations under this Agreement more than [***] times in any consecutive [***]
period, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement immediately without providing the
breaching Party an opportunity to cure such breach, by giving the breaching Party written notice
thereof.

13.2.3 InterMune may immediately terminate this Agreement by notice in writing if InterMune
should be prevented by the HEALTH AUTHORITIES from using DRUG PRODUCT in clinical trials for all
indications or from distributing DRUG PRODUCT on the market for all indications. In such event,
InterMune shall be responsible to BI Austria for the following: (A) InterMune shall either (at
InterMune’s discretion) (i) purchase the DRUG PRODUCTS in accordance with the then existing firm
forecast (i.e., the red zone) (in which case BI Austria agrees to sell such DRUG PRODUCTS to
InterMune) or (ii) pay BI Austria an amount equal to [***] percent of the unit price of the DRUG
PRODUCT then in effect for the DRUG PRODUCT forecasted in the then existing firm forecast [***] and
(B) InterMune shall [***] BI Austria for [***]; provided that InterMune shall have no liability to
BI Austria under this Section 13.2.3 in the event that such HEALTH AUTHORITY action is solely due
to any breach of BI Austria’s warranties under this Agreement or any negligence or willful
misconduct by BI Austria or BI Pharma.
13.2.4 In the event of an assignment of this Agreement by a Party hereunder, termination
rights of the other Party are addressed in Section 14.3.
13.2.5 This Agreement shall be terminated in the event of early termination of the License and
Commercialization Agreement dated June 15, 2001, as amended, between Amgen and InterMune.
13.2.6 All payments in connection with early termination shall be due within thirty (30) days
after receipt by BI Austria of the notice of early termination from InterMune and receipt by
InterMune of the respective invoice from BI Austria.
13.3 Effect of Termination
13.3.1 In the event of any termination of this Agreement (other than for BI Austria’s material
breach or negligence or willful misconduct by BI Austria or BI Pharma), InterMune shall also do one
of the following (at InterMune’s option): (i) InterMune shall purchase (in which case BI Austria

price of the DRUG PRODUCT then in effect for the DRUG PRODUCT forecasted for [***]; provided,
however, that with regard to any DRUG PRODUCT already produced by BI Austria (or BI Pharma, as the
case may be) at the time of termination, InterMune shall [***] Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event of termination by InterMune under Section 13.2.3, Section 13.2.3 shall govern rather than
this Section 13.3.1.
13.3.2 In the case of any termination, except for termination resulting from BI Austria’s
breach or negligence or willful misconduct by BI Austria or BI Pharma, BI Austria shall receive
[***], to the extent BI Austria has not yet received all such payments at the time of termination.
13.3.3 In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, at the request of
InterMune, BI Austria shall either (i) destroy all material, including but not limited to samples
and all documentation received from InterMune under this Agreement, or (ii) deliver the same to
InterMune or a party nominated by InterMune, at InterMune’s cost (except in the case of termination
by InterMune for BI Austria’s material breach, in which case such destruction or delivery shall be
at BI Austria’s expense).
13.3.4 In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, BI Austria shall
promptly return all of InterMune’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to InterMune, except for a single copy
and/or sample of each item for documentation purposes only. BI Austria’s responsibility to keep and
store all other materials provided by InterMune in the course of this Agreement shall terminate six
(6) months after expiration or termination of this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in
Section 5.2).
13.3.5 In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, InterMune shall
promptly return all of BI Austria’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to BI Austria, except for a single
copy and/or sample for documentation purposes only.
13.3.6 Except as set forth in Section 3.8.1(iii), Section 13.1 and Section 14.3, BI Austria
shall not be obligated to provide to InterMune any assistance in transferring the MANUFACTURING
PROCESS to a third party other than providing documentation (e.g., batch records and
specifications) in the most current version which is not yet in possession of Intermune at the
time.
13.3.7 The following provisions shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement:
Sections 3.8.1, 5.2.3, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13.2.3, 13.2.6, 13.3 and 14 and
any other Section which by its nature should survive. Termination or expiration of this Agreement
shall not relieve either Party of any liability which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date
of such termination, nor preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have
hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement, nor prejudice either
Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation.

14. Miscellaneous
14.1 Performance by AFFILIATES
The Parties recognize that each Party may perform some or all of its obligations under this
Agreement through one or more of its AFFILIATES, provided, however, that each Party shall remain
responsible for such performance by its AFFILIATES and shall cause its AFFILIATES to comply with
the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Each Party hereby expressly
waives any requirement that the other Party exhaust any right, power or remedy, or proceed against
an AFFILIATE, for any obligation or performance hereunder prior to proceeding directly against such
Party.
14.2 Force Majeure
Neither Party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance or non-performance
caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including but not limited to
acts of God, explosion, fire, flood, labor strike or labor disturbances, sabotage, order or decree
of any court or action of any governmental authority (except where such order, decree or action is
a direct result of BI Austria’s breach of its obligations hereunder), or other causes, whether
similar or dissimilar to those specified which cannot reasonably be controlled by the Party who
failed to perform (each such event, a “FORCE MAJEURE EVENT”). A Party affected by a FORCE MAJEURE
EVENT shall give notice of such to the other Party as soon as is reasonably possible, and shall
resume performance hereunder as soon as is reasonably possible. Each Party shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement in the event that a FORCE MAJEURE EVENT continues for more than [***] upon
written notice thereof.
14.3 Assignment
14.3.1 Except as expressly provided for herein neither this Agreement nor any rights or
obligations hereunder may be assigned by either Party except to an AFFILIATE of either one of the
Parties without the prior written consent of the other Party which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Any subsequent assignee or transferee shall be bound by the terms of this
Agreement. Any assignment of this Agreement that is not in conformance with this Section 14.3 shall
be null, void and of no legal effect. In the case of assignment to an AFFILIATE as permitted under
this Section 14.3.1, the assigning Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing.
14.3.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, InterMune shall have the right to assign this Agreement
in case of a merger, acquisition or sale of substantially all of its assets that relate to this
Agreement after due written notification of BI Austria.
14.3.3 In the event that either Party assigns this Agreement as permitted under this Section 14.3,
the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon [***] written notice;
provided, however, that (i) a Party shall not have the right to terminate in the event of
assignment of the Agreement by the other Party to an AFFILIATE existing on the Effective Date in
accordance with Section 14.3.1, (ii) in the event BI Austria assigns the Agreement to an AFFILIATE
not in existence on the Effective Date and such assignment would

have no impact on the day-to-day operations of BI Austria such that the same facility in Vienna
would continue to perform its manufacturing obligations under this Agreement, then InterMune shall
not have the right to terminate such Agreement under this Section 14.3.3; (iii) in the event
InterMune assigns this Agreement under Section 14.3.2, BI Austria shall have the right to terminate
only if the assignee is a competing contract manufacturing organization which manufactures
biopharmaceuticals. In the event InterMune assigns this Agreement under Section 14.3.2 before the
completion of the SERVICES and such assignee is a competing contract manufacturing organization
which manufactures biopharmaceuticals and BI Austria desires to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 14.3.3, BI Austria shall provide written notice of termination to InterMune and its
assignee no later than [***] as of BI Austria’s receipt of written notice of assignment from
InterMune and such termination shall be effective [***] after InterMune’s receipt of such notice of
termination rather than the aforementioned [***] notice period. In the event InterMune assigns
