Anthera shall have [***] from the date of delivery of clinical material within the Inventory in which to test, at Anthera’s cost, the delivered clinical material for quality and compliance with the specifications and notify Amgen of any non-compliance. In the event Anthera determines that any clinical materials within Inventory did not, upon delivery, meet the specifications, Anthera shall notify Amgen in writing (within the [***] period set forth above) and provide Amgen with complete copies of all testing data and a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons for such suspected non-compliance. If Amgen disagrees with such initial determination of non-

compliance and the Parties cannot come to agreement, Amgen and Anthera shall elect an independent Third Party to review the data and/or repeat the testing and make a final determination, which shall be binding upon both Anthera and Amgen. If the shipment is determined by the independent Third Party to have been, upon delivery, in compliance with the specifications, Anthera shall pay the costs of such testing; if the shipment is found not to have been in compliance with the specifications upon delivery, Amgen shall pay the costs of such testing. In the event any clinical material within the Inventory shall be agreed or determined pursuant to this Section 3.2(b)(ii) to have failed to comply with the specifications upon delivery, Anthera shall, at Amgen’s election and expense, either destroy the material or return it to Amgen. The process set forth in this Section 3.2(b)(ii) shall be the sole process for resolving any non-compliance or deficiency in the clinical material within the Inventory, and Anthera’s sole remedy for any non-compliance or quality deficiency of the clinical material within the Inventory shall be a refund of the pro rata amount equal to [***]. Amgen shall have no obligations with respect to the quality of the Materials or non-clinical material within the Inventory. Anthera shall be solely responsible for taking all steps necessary to determine that Inventory or Materials are suitable for Anthera’s intended use. Anthera represents and warrants that (a) the master and working cell banks and inclusion bodies for Licensed Molecule will be used only for production of Licensed Molecule and Licensed Products and will not be used or modified in any way to produce any other compound or molecule, and (2) it will not transfer (or permit its CMO to transfer) the master or working cell banks or inclusion bodies to any Third Party other than Anthera’s CMO designated in accordance with Section 3.2(a) or a qualified Third Party storage facility.

          (c) Subsequent Technology Transfer Support and Assistance. As part of the transfer of the Manufacturing Technology, upon reasonable request by Anthera, Amgen shall provide up to a total of [***] hours of support and assistance with respect to the implementation of the Manufacturing Technology during normal working hours within the first [***] following the Effective Date, at no charge to Anthera (such initial [***] hours shall be referred to as the “Baseline Hours”). If Anthera seeks support and assistance above and beyond the Baseline Hours, Amgen shall provide up to a maximum of [***] additional hours of support and assistance during normal working hours (such [***] additional hours in excess of Baseline Hours shall be referred to herein as “Additional Hours”). Anthera shall pay Amgen at a rate of US[***]/hour for any Additional Hours, as reflected in written invoices submitted to Anthera. Further, at Amgen’s sole election and discretion, Amgen shall provide, upon Anthera’s request, [***] additional hours of support and assistance during normal working hours in excess of the Additional Hours, at a rate of US[***]/hour (such additional [***] hours of support and assistance in excess of the Additional Hours shall be referred to herein as “Discretionary Hours”). Anthera shall reimburse any reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket travel-related expenses incurred by Amgen personnel in connection with providing such support and assistance in connection with the Baseline Hours, Additional Hours and Discretionary Hours. Amgen shall invoice Anthera on a quarterly basis for such Additional Hours, Discretionary Hours and expenses, and Anthera shall pay each such invoice within [***] of receipt.

          (d) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Amgen be obligated to provide more than a total of [***] hours of support and assistance to Anthera (which [***] hours includes the Discretionary Hours, which shall be provided to Anthera at Amgen’s sole discretion and election), and in no event shall Amgen be obligated to provide any support or assistance

beyond the period of [***] following the Effective Date. The [***] hours of support and assistance and the [***] time period in which such support and assistance hours must be utilized, shall be referred to as “Subsequent Technology Transfer Support”. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) time spent by Amgen personnel in traveling to Anthera or Anthera’s CMO in connection with the transfer of Manufacturing Technology; or (b) the initial technology transfer activities set forth in Section 3.2(b)(i) and (ii), shall not be deemed Subsequent Technology Transfer Support.

     3.3 Responsibility. Following the Effective Date, Anthera shall be responsible for all development and commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory. Anthera shall be responsible for the manufacturing of Licensed Products for use by Anthera and its sublicensees in the Field in the Territory. However, upon Anthera’s written request (which written request shall be made no later than [***] following the Effective Date with respect to the manufacture of Drug Product from Drug Substance included in the Inventory), Amgen may, at Amgen’s sole discretion and option, elect to manufacture certain quantities of Drug Substance and Drug Product in compliance with GMP for Anthera. In the event that Amgen agrees to perform such manufacturing services for Anthera, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of an agreement pursuant to which Amgen would perform such manufacturing services; provided, however, that with respect to the formulation of Drug Substance included within the Inventory into nude vials of Drug Product, the Parties agree that Anthera shall pay Amgen [***] for such fill/finish services.

     3.4 [***]. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Amgen shall have the right, but not the obligation, to [***] of Anthera established for Licensed Products, which [***] must be reasonably acceptable to Anthera.

     3.5 Diligence. Anthera, either on its own or through one or more Affiliates or sublicensees, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize the Licensed Products commensurate with those efforts commonly used in the biotechnology industry by reputable biotechnology companies in connection with the development, manufacture and commercialization of a pharmaceutical product of similar market potential, and shall in particular use commercially reasonable efforts to initiate within [***] of the Effective Date a [***] of a Licensed Product. Whether particular development efforts are commercially reasonable shall be measured on a country-by-country basis in accordance with the overall standard set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.5. Anthera shall keep Amgen advised of all ongoing development and manufacturing activities by providing Amgen with an annual update report summarizing Anthera’s development and manufacturing activities with respect to Licensed Products (including but not limited to information on all clinical studies involving Licensed Products).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Anthera would not be deemed to have breached such diligence obligations if its development efforts are delayed as a result of events or occurrences that are outside of Anthera’s control (provided Anthera has used commercially reasonable efforts with respect to matters within its control), including the following: (i) any breach of this Agreement by Amgen that adversely affects Anthera’s ability to develop Licensed Products, (ii) regulatory holds or new regulatory requirements, (iii) an event of force majeure, or (iv) a development issue involving safety, toxicity, efficacy or pharmacokinetics, or the ability to scale up manufacturing processes (in each case, to the extent outside of Anthera’s control, using

commercially reasonable efforts). If Amgen reasonably believes that Anthera has breached its diligence obligations under this Agreement in connection with the development, manufacture or commercialization of the Licensed Product, Amgen and Anthera shall meet and agree upon a reasonable plan to minimize the development delay caused by such breach. Amgen shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 if Anthera does not initiate within [***] from the date on which the Parties agree to such plan, and diligently continue, efforts under such plan to address and minimize the delay caused by Anthera’s breach of its diligence obligations to Amgen’s reasonable satisfaction.

ARTICLE 4

Payments

     4.1 First Installment of License Fee. Anthera shall pay to Amgen, within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (“First Installment License Fee”). The First Installment License Fee payment to Amgen shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated in writing by Amgen. The First Installment License Fee shall be nonrefundable and noncreditable against any milestones or other fees or payments due Amgen under this Agreement.

     4.2 Milestone Payments.

          (a) Second Installment of License Fee. In addition to the payment in Section 4.1, Anthera shall pay to Amgen Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (“Second Installment License Fee”) on the earlier of (i) termination of this Agreement by Anthera pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(iii); or (ii) February 1, 2009. The Second Installment License Fee payment to Amgen shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated in writing by Amgen. The Second Installment License Fee shall be nonrefundable and noncreditable against any milestones, royalties or other fees or payments due Amgen under this Agreement.

          (b) Milestones. Anthera shall pay to Amgen, with respect to Licensed Products, the following one-time milestone payment amounts upon the first occurrence of each indicated milestone event:

Event		Payment
[***]		[***]
[***]		[***]
[***]		[***]
[***]		[***]
[***]		[***]
[***]		[***]
[***]		[***]

     Anthera will give Amgen prompt written notification of the occurrence of any of the milestone events set forth above. The payments set forth above will be payable within thirty (30) business days after the achievement of the applicable milestone. In the event that the first milestone event set forth above shall not be achieved by any Licensed Product but a subsequent milestone event shall be achieved by a Licensed Product (i.e., [***]), the payment associated with the first milestone set forth above shall nonetheless be owed to Amgen in full and at the same time as Anthera’s payment to Amgen for its achievement of the subsequent milestone event (i.e. the foregoing example would require an aggregate US$10 million payment). No milestone payment will be payable by Anthera more than once, regardless of the number of times the milestone event occurs or the number of Licensed Products developed and commercialized, such that the maximum aggregate amount of milestones payable under this Section 4.2(b) shall be US$33 million.

     4.3 Royalties.

          (a) Royalty Rates. With respect to sales of Licensed Products by Anthera, its Affiliates or its sublicensees, Anthera shall pay to Amgen quarterly royalties calculated as a

percentage of the applicable portion of aggregate annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products, based on the following royalty rates:

Portion of Annual Worldwide Net Sales		Royalty Rate
[***] — [***]		[***]%
Over [***] up to [***]		[***]%
Over [***] up to [***]		[***]%
Over [***] up to [***]		[***]%
Over [***]		[***]%

     For the avoidance of doubt, each of the royalty rates set forth in this Section 4.3(a) shall apply only to that portion of the annual Net Sales that falls within the applicable range for such royalty rate. For example, if the aggregate annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products in a particular year equals [***], the royalties payable to Amgen would be equal to ([***]% x [***]) + ([***]% x [***]) + ([***]% x [***]) + ([***]% x [***]) = [***].

          (b) Third Party Milestones. The Parties acknowledge that the development of Licensed Products by Anthera or its Affiliates or sublicensees pursuant to this Agreement may trigger the payment of Third Party Milestones set forth in Exhibit G. Anthera shall be solely responsible for paying such Third Party Milestones, and shall remit such payments to Amgen.

          (c) Timing of Royalty Payments. Royalty obligations under Section 4.3(a) shall accrue at the time that a sale or use of a Licensed Product generates Net Sales, and royalty obligations that have accrued during a particular calendar quarter shall be paid, on a quarterly basis, within [***] after the end of the calendar quarter during which the obligation accrued.

          (d) Royalty Term. Anthera’s royalty obligations under this Section 4.3 as to a particular Licensed Product shall be payable, on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, for the longer of (i) the period from the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country until the date of expiration of the last to expire Valid Claim within the Licensed Patents that Covers the manufacture, use or sale, offer to sell, or import of such Licensed Product by Anthera or a sublicensee in such country, or (ii) ten (10) years after the First Commercial Sale of the applicable Licensed Product in the applicable country. For the purpose of this Agreement, a Valid Claim “Covers” a particular activity if such activity would infringe, contribute to the infringement of, or induce the infringement of such Valid Claim, and the phrase “is Covered by” shall have a correlative meaning. With respect to a patent application, a Valid Claim “Covers” a particular activity if such activity would infringe, contribute to the infringement of, or induce the infringement of such Valid Claim were such

application to be an issued patent, and the phrase “is Covered by” shall have a correlative meaning.

     4.4 Royalty Reductions.

          (a) If, and for so long as, no Valid Claim of an issued patent within the Licensed Patents in a particular country Covers the making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing of a Licensed Product, the royalty amount otherwise due to Amgen with respect to the sale of such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%).

          (b) Anthera shall be permitted to reduce the royalties due to Amgen under Section 4.3(a) by an amount equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the royalties and other monetary consideration actually paid to Third Parties by Anthera (or its Affiliate or sublicensee) in connection with bona fide licenses obtained under such Third Parties’ patents, but solely to the extent of such royalties or other consideration that are required: (a) to allow Anthera’s or its Affiliate’s or sublicensee’s use of the Licensed Technology licensed by Amgen hereunder; or (b) to allow Anthera (or its Affiliate or sublicense) to manufacture, use, sell or import Licensed Product. [***] Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.4(b) shall not be used to reduce the effective royalty rate due to Amgen pursuant to Section 4.3(a) [***] (i.e., from [***]% to less than [***]% or from [***]% to less than [***]%).

          (c) In no event shall the royalties due to Amgen under this Section 4.4 be reduced by more than a total of [***] percent ([***]%) (i.e. from [***]% to less than [***]% or from [***]% to less than [***]%) by operation of Sections 4.4(a) and (b).

     4.5 Sublicense Revenues. If Anthera sublicenses any of its rights under the Licensed Technology to a Third Party within [***] of the Effective Date, within [***] of the date upon which payment of any of the following is made: (i) any upfront license fees and other lump sum or one-time fees in consideration of such sublicense to the Licensed Technology (including any other fee or payment for a sublicense to the Licensed Technology which is paid to Anthera solely on the basis of the passage of time); and (ii) any milestones or payments tied to [***], then in each such case Anthera shall pay to Amgen [***], and [***], respectively. The foregoing shall not apply to the grant of a sublicense by Anthera in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, spin-out of Anthera’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Anthera. The obligations set forth in this Section 4.5 are in addition to any other payment obligations under this Agreement.

     4.6 Reports. At the same time that Anthera makes a quarterly royalty payment required by Section 4.3, Anthera shall provide to Amgen a written report that sets forth a

reasonably detailed and accurate record of all sales or dispositions by Anthera, its Affiliates, and its sublicensees of the Licensed Products in the Territory, showing the manufacturing, sales, use and other dispositions of the Licensed Products with respect to which royalty obligations have accrued during such calendar quarter, the gross amounts and allowed deductions forming the calculation of Net Sales and royalty reductions under Section 4.4, and a calculation of the royalties due for such calendar quarter pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 4.4.

     4.7 Records and Audit. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of [***] thereafter, Anthera shall keep and require its Affiliates and sublicensees to keep and provide to Anthera complete and accurate records in accordance with GAAP (or the relevant accounting standards of such non-U.S. jurisdiction where such records are kept or to which they relate, as applicable) pertaining to the sale of the Licensed Products, in sufficient detail to permit Amgen to confirm the revenue and Net Sales attributable to such sales. Amgen shall have the right, at its expense, to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Anthera to audit such records to confirm Anthera’s revenues and Net Sales attributable to sales of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory. Such audits shall be conducted under conditions of confidentiality and may be exercised no more frequently than [***] per year upon reasonable advance notice to Anthera and during normal business hours. A copy of the accountant’s report shall be provided to Anthera. All amounts due (whether by Anthera or Amgen) as shown by the audit shall be paid within [***] following the receipt of the audit report. Amgen shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment of royalties by Anthera of greater than [***] percent ([***]%) of amounts rightfully payable for the time period being audited. In such case, Anthera shall bear [***] cost of such audit.

     4.8 Methods of Payments. All payments due under this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. dollars by wire transfer to a bank designated in writing by the Party to which the payment is due.

     4.9 Interest. If Anthera fails to make any payment due to Amgen under this Agreement, then interest shall accrue on a daily basis at an interest rate equal to two percentage points (2%) above the then-applicable prime commercial lending rate of Citibank, N.A., San Francisco, California, or at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is the lower.

     4.10 Currency Conversion. Net Sales amounts shall be translated from other currencies to U.S. Dollars by using the rate of exchange quoted under Foreign Exchange in the Eastern edition of the Wall Street Journal as of the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter.

     4.11 Blocked Currency. If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all of the royalties payable by Anthera with respect to any country where a Licensed Product is sold, Anthera shall have the right, at its option, to make such payments by depositing the amount thereof in local currency to Amgen’s account in a bank or other depository in such country.

     4.12 Transaction Taxes. Anthera is responsible for the payment of any state or local, sales or use, or similar fees or taxes arising as a result of the transfer of property by Amgen to

Anthera pursuant to this Agreement, and Anthera shall promptly remit such fees or taxes to Amgen, as the collection agent, upon invoice. Amgen shall, thereafter, timely report and submit the appropriate fees or taxes to the relevant taxing authority(ies). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that laws, rules or other regulations require Anthera to withhold taxes with respect to any payment to be made by Anthera pursuant to this Agreement, Anthera will notify Amgen of such withholding requirements prior to making the payment to Amgen and provide such assistance to Amgen, including the provision of such documentation as may be required by the applicable tax authority, as may be reasonably necessary in Amgen’s efforts to claim an exemption from or reduction of such taxes. Anthera will, in accordance with such laws, rules or regulations, withhold taxes from the amount due, remit such taxes to the appropriate tax authority, and furnish Amgen with satisfactory proof of payment of such taxes within [***] following the payment. If taxes are withheld and remitted to a tax authority, Anthera shall provide reasonable assistance to Amgen to obtain a refund of such taxes or obtain a credit with respect to such taxes.

ARTICLE 5

Patents

     5.1 Prosecution and Maintenance of AMG 623 Licensed Patents.

          (a) Subject to Section 5.1(b), Anthera shall be responsible (using mutually acceptable outside counsel) for the filing, prosecution, defense and maintenance of all AMG 623 Licensed Patents, including any oppositions and interferences, at Anthera’s sole expense. If Anthera determines that a patent application should be filed to cover an invention within the Licensed Know-How, Anthera shall promptly consult with Amgen regarding such matter, and if Amgen consents in its sole discretion to such filing, Anthera shall be responsible, at its sole expense, for filing, prosecuting, defending and maintaining such patent application and any patent issuing therefrom, and any such patent application filed or any patent issuing therefrom, shall be included within AMG 623 Licensed Patents. For a period not to exceed [***] following the Effective Date, Amgen shall provide reasonable assistance to such mutually acceptable outside counsel to transition the AMG 623 Licensed Patents files to such outside counsel. For a period limited only by the expiration of the AMG 623 Licensed Patents, Amgen shall have a right to review and comment on all material documents related to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the AMG 623 Licensed Patents. Anthera shall deliver to Amgen copies of all material documents related to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the AMG 623 Licensed Patents within a reasonable period of time after such documents are prepared or received, and, in any event, within a reasonable amount of time before any such document is filed with or submitted to the applicable patent office or agency. Anthera shall consult in good faith with Amgen regarding the preparation, filing and prosecution of the AMG 623 Licensed Patents and shall incorporate any and all reasonable comments or suggestions made by Amgen with respect to such preparation, filing and prosecution.

          (b) If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, Anthera determines in its sole discretion not to file, prosecute, defend or maintain any claim or patent application or

patent within the AMG 623 Licensed Patents in any country, then Anthera shall provide Amgen with [***] prior written notice of such determination to provide Amgen with the right and opportunity to file, prosecute, defend and maintain such claim or patent application or patent. In such event, if Amgen so elects, Amgen shall, at its expense, thereafter (itself or through outside counsel selected by Amgen in its sole discretion) assume control over the filing, prosecution, defense and maintenance of such claim or patent application or patent.

     5.2 Other Licensed Patents. Amgen shall be solely responsible for, and have complete discretion in controlling and making decisions with respect to, filing, prosecution, defense and maintenance of the Other Licensed Patents before all patent authorities in the Territory, including but not limited to oppositions and interferences, and enforcement of the Other Licensed Patents.

     5.3 Infringement by Third Parties.

          (a) Anthera shall have the first right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, to enforce the AMG 623 Licensed Patents against Third Parties and to defend the AMG 623 Licensed Patents against any challenges in the Territory. In the event Anthera shall so elect, Anthera shall control any such action; provided that, Amgen shall, at its own expense, be entitled to participate in, and to have counsel selected by Amgen participate in, such action. [***].

          (b) In the event Anthera does not commence an enforcement and/or defense action pursuant to Section 5.3(a) within [***] after Anthera first notifies Amgen or Amgen first notifies Anthera of potential infringement of the AMG 623 Licensed Patents in the Territory (or of the filing of a declaratory judgment action, in the case of defense actions), Amgen shall be entitled to bring and prosecute such an action at its own expense and to retain [***] percent ([***]%) of any recoveries in such action, unless Anthera participates. In the event Amgen shall so elect, Amgen shall control any such action; provided, however, that Anthera shall, at its own expense, be entitled to participate in, and to have counsel selected by Anthera participate in, such action. Recoveries in any actions in which Anthera participates under this Section 5.3(b) shall be used first to reimburse the Parties’ costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) for such action (on an equal basis) and any remainder shall belong to Amgen.

          (c) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party upon becoming aware of any potential Third Party infringement of the Licensed Patents.

          (d) Neither Party shall enter into any settlement of any action under this Section 5.3 that affects the other Party’s rights or interests under this Agreement without such other Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     5.4 Infringement of Third Party Rights. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party upon receiving written notice of any potential infringement, or any Third Party claim or action against Amgen or Anthera or any of their Affiliates or sublicensees for possible infringement, of a Third Party patent right resulting from the development or commercialization

of Licensed Product. Subject to the indemnification and defense obligations of the Parties under Article 8, each Party shall be responsible for defending, and shall control the defense of, any such action brought against such Party. The Parties shall confer with each other and cooperate in the defense of any such action in which both Amgen and Anthera are named parties. Neither Party shall enter into any settlement of any action under this Section 5.4 that affects the other Party’s rights or interests under this Agreement without such other Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.4 shall obligate either Party to defend against any action referenced in this Section 5.4.

     5.5 Cooperation. Each Party, at the requesting Party’s expense, agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other Party in the filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of Licensed Patents, as set forth in this Article 5, including joining an action or proceeding if reasonably requested, signing any necessary legal papers, and providing the other Party with data or other information reasonably requested in support thereof. Each Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the substantive developments with respect to any enforcement or defensive actions under this Article 5 regarding the AMG 623 Licensed Patents.

ARTICLE 6

Confidentiality

     6.1 Confidentiality. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, each Party agrees that, for the term of this Agreement and for [***] thereafter, it shall keep confidential and shall not publish, otherwise disclose or use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement (including, in each case, in connection with the exercise of license rights granted pursuant to this Agreement) any Confidential Information of the other Party unless the receiving Party can demonstrate by competent proof that such Confidential Information:

          (a) was already known to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the other Party;

          (b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving Party;

          (c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the receiving Party in breach of this Agreement;

          (d) was disclosed to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a Third Party who, to the receiving Party’s knowledge, had no obligation to the disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others; or

          (e) was independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party without the use of Confidential Information belonging to the disclosing Party, as documented by the receiving Party’s written records.

     6.2 Authorized Disclosure. Notwithstanding the limitations in this Article 6, each Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the other Party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

          (a) prosecuting or defending litigation relating to this Agreement;

          (b) complying with applicable law, regulations, valid court orders, or rules of a securities exchange;

          (c) disclosure to investors, potential investors, sources of finance, acquirers, or merger candidates who agree to be bound by confidentiality obligations at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Article 6, or in the case of financial institutions with respect to financial information and the terms of this Agreement only, equivalent in scope to those terms under which the disclosing Party is disclosing its own confidential information of similar type, provided that such disclosure is used solely for the purpose of evaluating such investment, acquisition, or merger or providing required information under a financing (as the case may be);

          (d) disclosure of Licensed Know-How, data related to Licensed Products or the terms of this Agreement, on a need-to-know basis in support of the development, manufacture or commercialization of Licensed Products, to members of its Board of Directors, Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees, employees, consultants, agents and subcontractors who agree to be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Article 6;

          (e) in connection with making regulatory filings for Regulatory Approval; and

          (f) filing, prosecuting or maintaining the AMG 623 Licensed Patents in accordance with Article 5.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 6.2(b), it will, except where not reasonably possible, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use commercially reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information. In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder.

     6.3 Employees; Agents. Anthera and Amgen shall ensure that each employee, consultant or other agent of Anthera or Amgen or any of its Affiliates and sublicensees who has access to Confidential Information of the other Party is bound to obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2.

     6.4 Publicity. The terms of this Agreement shall be Confidential Information of each Party and, as such, shall be subject to the provisions of this Article 6. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a mutually agreed upon press release to be issued by Anthera. Neither Party shall otherwise issue any other news or press release, or make any public announcement relating to this Agreement or to the performance hereunder, without the other Party’s prior written consent. This restriction shall not apply to disclosures required by law or regulation, including as may be required in connection with any filings made with the

Securities and Exchange Commission or by the disclosure policies of a major stock exchange (including NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX); provided, however, that the disclosing Party shall request, to the extent legally available, that the relevant legal or Regulatory Authority, or major stock exchange, treat as confidential any Confidential Information or other proprietary information of either Party included in any such disclosure and shall notify the other Party of the proposed disclosure in advance.

     6.5 Publications. Neither Party shall submit for written or oral publication any manuscript or abstract which includes data relating to the Licensed Product without first allowing the other Party thirty (30) days to review. In the event any such dissemination is determined by the reviewing Party to be detrimental to its intellectual property or license position, the other Party shall delay such publication for a period sufficient, but in no event greater than an additional forty-five (45) days, to allow the other Party to take the steps necessary to protect such intellectual property, including the filing of any patent applications. In any event, a publication shall not include Confidential Information of the other Party without the other Party’s written consent thereto.

     6.6 Attorney-Client Privilege. Neither Party is waiving, nor shall be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the receiving Party, regardless of whether the disclosing Party has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, such privileges and protections. The Parties (a) share a common legal and commercial interest in all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is subject to such privileges and protections; (b) are or may become joint defendants in proceedings to which the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; (c) intend that such privileges and protections remain intact should either Party become subject to any actual or threatened proceeding to which the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; and (d) intend that after the Effective Date the receiving Party shall have the right to assert such protections and privileges. No receiving Party shall admit, claim or contend, in proceedings involving either Party or otherwise, that the disclosing Party waived any of its attorney work-product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges with respect to any information, documents or other material due to the disclosing Party disclosing its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the receiving Party.

ARTICLE 8

Indemnification

     8.1 Indemnification by Amgen. Unless otherwise provided herein, Amgen agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Anthera, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “Anthera Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses resulting from any Third Party suits, claims, actions or demands (collectively, “Third Party Claims”), to the extent arising out of any of the following:

          (a) a breach by Amgen of a representation, warranty, or covenant in this Agreement;

          (b) the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Amgen, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective employees or agents in performing Amgen’s obligations hereunder; or

          (c) Amgen’s failure to fulfill its material regulatory obligations under the Regulatory Documents prior to the date on which such Regulatory Documents are transferred to Anthera pursuant to Section 3.1(a).

     Such indemnity shall not apply to the extent Anthera’s failure to comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 8.3 has materially prejudiced Amgen’s ability to defend against such Third Party Claims or to the extent that it is shown that the Third Party Claim was the result of (i) a breach by Anthera of a representation, warranty, or covenant in this Agreement; or (ii) the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Anthera, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective employees or agents.

     8.2 Indemnification by Anthera. Unless otherwise provided herein, Anthera agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Amgen, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “Amgen Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses resulting from any Third Party Claims, to the extent arising out of any of the following:

          (a) the research, development, manufacture, possession, storage, transport, importation, use, sale, marketing, or distribution of Licensed Molecule or Licensed Product by or on the behalf of Anthera or its Affiliates or sublicensees; or

          (b) a breach by Anthera of a representation, warranty, or covenant in this Agreement; or

          (c) the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Anthera, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective employees or agents in performing Anthera’s obligations hereunder;

     Such indemnity shall not apply to the extent Amgen’s failure to comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 8.3 has materially prejudiced Anthera’s ability to defend against such Third Party Claims or to the extent that it is shown that the Third Party Claim was the result of (i) a breach by Amgen of a representation, warranty, or covenant in this Agreement; (ii) the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Amgen, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective employees or agents; or (iii) Amgen’s failure to fulfill its material regulatory obligations under the Regulatory Documents prior to the date on which such Regulatory Documents are transferred to Anthera pursuant to Section 3.1(a).

     8.3 Control of Defense. Any entity entitled to indemnification under this Article 8 shall give written notice to the indemnifying Party of any Third Party Claims that may be subject to indemnification, promptly after learning of such Third Party Claim. Within a reasonable time after receiving such notice, the indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Third Party Claims with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party. The indemnified Party shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party in such defense. The indemnified Party may, at its option and expense, be represented by counsel of its choice in any action or proceeding with respect to such Third Party Claim. The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any litigation costs or expenses incurred by the indemnified Party without the indemnifying Party’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim if such settlement (a) does not fully and unconditionally release the indemnified Party from all liability relating thereto or (b) adversely impacts the rights granted to the indemnified Party under this Agreement in a material way, unless the indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing. The indemnified Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party.

     8.4 Insurance. Prior to the commencement of any human clinical trials of a Licensed Product, Anthera shall obtain a product/clinical trial liability insurance policy in good standing and adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated, during the period in which Anthera is performing clinical studies (including any follow-up care) of Licensed Product (the “Trial

Period”). Such policy shall remain in effect during the Trial Period and for [***] thereafter, and shall, in addition provide for a [***] covering circumstances, incidents, and/or claims arising from activities occurring prior to the termination of such policy. In any event, Anthera shall name Amgen as an additional insured on such policy and shall require the insurer to provide written notice to Amgen within [***] of any change in or termination of such policy that would negatively impact the coverage of Amgen under such policy. Anthera shall provide a copy of such policy to Amgen at least [***] prior to the commencement of human clinical trials. Additionally, upon and after the First Commercial Sale or distribution of a Licensed Product, and for so long as such Licensed Product is sold by or on behalf of Anthera or its Affiliates, Anthera shall maintain comprehensive general liability, product liability and broad form contractual liability insurance in amounts and with coverage conditions customary for like products naming Amgen as an additional insured.

     9.2 Termination for Material Breach. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for the other Party’s uncured material breach of this Agreement as set forth in this Section 9.2. At least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to any such termination, except in the case of a monetary default, in which case a thirty (30) day notice period shall apply, the Party seeking to so terminate shall give the other Party written notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.2, which notice shall set forth the default(s) which form the basis for such termination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 2.4(e) and not this Section 9.2 shall govern any termination of this Agreement by Amgen for Anthera’s breach of Section 2.4(c).

     9.3 Termination for Insolvency. Amgen may terminate this Agreement upon written notice in the event any of the following occurs with respect to Anthera: (i) Anthera becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or files a petition in bankruptcy or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise acknowledges in writing insolvency, or is adjudged bankrupt, and Anthera (A) fails to assume this Agreement in any such bankruptcy proceeding within thirty (30) days after filing or (B) assumes and assigns this Agreement to a Third Party; (ii) Anthera goes into or is placed in a process of complete liquidation; (iii) a trustee or receiver is appointed for any substantial portion of Anthera’s business and such trustee or receiver is not discharged within sixty (60) days after appointment; (iv) any case or proceeding shall have been commenced or other action taken against Anthera in bankruptcy or seeking liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, a winding-up arrangement, composition or readjustment of its debts or any other relief under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law now or hereafter in effect and is not dismissed or converted into a voluntary proceeding governed by clause (i) above within sixty (60) days after filing; or (v) there shall have been issued a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against any substantial part

of the property of Anthera and such event shall have continued for a period of sixty (60) days and none of the following has occurred: (A) it is dismissed, (B) it is bonded in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Amgen, or (C) it is discharged.

     9.4 Termination by Anthera. Anthera may terminate this Agreement upon one hundred and twenty (120) days prior written notice to Amgen (which written notice shall be dated no earlier than the first anniversary of the Effective Date), if Anthera determines, in its sole discretion, that continued development or commercialization of Licensed Products is not justified for scientific or economic reasons. In addition, Anthera may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.4(c)(iii).

     9.5 Other Termination. If Anthera, its Affiliates or sublicensee(s) brings or joins any challenge to the validity of any of the Licensed Patents, then Amgen shall have the right, upon ten (10) days written notice, to terminate this Agreement.

          (a) In the event of any termination of this Agreement, Anthera shall, at no cost to Amgen and upon request of Amgen with respect to each of the following items:

               (i) promptly transfer and assign to Amgen or its designee the Regulatory Documents and all regulatory filings covering Licensed Products;

               (ii) promptly transfer to Amgen or its designee all clinical data with respect to Licensed Products generated by Anthera prior to the date of such termination;

               (iii) grant to Amgen an exclusive, perpetual and royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers, under any and all data, information, patents and other intellectual property relating to the Licensed Technology, Licensed Molecule, and/or Licensed Products Controlled by Anthera or its Affiliates (including any manufacturing improvements to the Manufacturing Technology) to research, develop, make, have made, use, import, offer to sell, or sell Licensed Products (which grant shall take effect automatically upon termination of this Agreement, and does not require further action of either Party);

               (iv) promptly transfer to Amgen all inventories of clinical material, API and/or intermediates of Licensed Molecule and inventories of Licensed Product, held by or on behalf of Anthera or its Affiliates at the time of such termination (provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.3 or 9.4, such inventories shall be transferred to Amgen at a price to be negotiated in good faith between the Parties);

               (v) promptly transfer to Amgen all remaining Materials (including but not limited to master and working cell banks, reagents and reference standards) held by or on behalf of Anthera or its Affiliates at the time of such termination;

               (vi) promptly transition responsibility for commercialization and development of the Licensed Products to Amgen or its designee in a manner requested by Amgen and Anthera shall seek to minimize disruption to the development and commercialization of the Licensed Products, including upon Amgen’s request assigning any contracts related to the development or commercialization from Anthera or its Affiliates to Amgen or its designee (to the

extent permissible under such contracts and, if not permissible, Anthera shall use its reasonable efforts to seek the right to so assign such contracts);

               (vii) cooperate to promptly transition to Amgen or its designee sole responsibility for the filing, prosecution, defense, maintenance and enforcement in the Territory of the AMG 623 Licensed Patents;

               (viii) promptly assign, or if assignment is not possible because Anthera licensed such trademark then exclusively assign its rights in the trademark, to Amgen any trademarks adopted for or used in the development or commercialization of Licensed Products; and

               (ix) cooperate with Amgen to promptly and smoothly transition the manufacturing of Licensed Products from Anthera, its Affiliate or Third Party manufacturer to Amgen or its designee, including the manufacturing processes for bulk and filling and finishing, and further including upon Amgen’s request assigning any contract related to supply or Third Party contract manufacturing to Amgen or its designee (to the extent permissible under such contracts and, if not permissible, Anthera shall use its reasonable efforts to seek the right to so assign such contracts).

          (b) In the event of any termination of this Agreement, Anthera shall return to Amgen within sixty (60) days of termination all tangible Amgen Know-How and Confidential Information provided to Anthera by Amgen pursuant to this Agreement, and shall use reasonable efforts to delete from its systems all other Confidential Information of the other Party.

          (c) In the event that Amgen provides written notice to Anthera that Amgen intends to terminate this Agreement under Sections 9.2, 9.3 or 9.5, and: (i) Anthera, at the time of Anthera’s receipt of such written notice from Amgen, has sublicensed its rights to a Third Party/Third Parties under Section 2.2, such sublicense/sublicensees are not in breach of their sublicense agreements and seek to continue the development and/or commercialization of the Licensed Products; and (ii) Anthera disputes the termination of this Agreement, then the Parties agree that this Agreement shall not terminate with respect to the breach that is the subject of such written notice by Amgen, until a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Amgen is entitled to terminate this Agreement, at which time all sublicenses granted by Anthera shall terminate. If such court makes such determination, for purposes of calculating Amgen’s damages for Anthera’s breach of this Agreement (which breach was the subject of Amgen’s written notice to Anthera), the termination shall be rightfully effective retroactive to the date of Amgen’s written notice to Anthera setting forth the default(s) which formed the basis for such termination by Amgen.

          (d) Except as expressly set forth herein, all licenses, rights and obligations under this Agreement shall immediately end upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

     9.7 Accrued Rights; Surviving Obligations. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights of either Party arising out of any event or occurrence prior to termination. Sections 4.2(a), 4.7, 7.2(h), 9.6, and 9.7, and Articles 6, 8, and 10 of this Agreement shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. In addition, in the event

there are Additional Licensed Product(s) designated under Section 2.4(c)(ii), Sections 4.2(a), 4.3, 4.7, 9.7 and Article 10 shall survive termination of this Agreement as to such Additional Licensed Product(s).

     Any Party may, by written notice to the other, designate a new address or fax number to which notices to the Party giving the notice shall thereafter be mailed or faxed.

     10.3 Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable for any delay or failure of performance to the extent such delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control and that by the exercise of due diligence it is unable to prevent, provided that the Party claiming excuse uses its reasonable efforts to overcome the same. This Section 10.3 shall not excuse any delay or failure by Anthera to pay any amounts owed to Amgen hereunder.

     10.4 Entirety of Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter contained herein and merges all prior discussions and agreements between them, and no Party shall be bound by any representation other than as expressly stated in this Agreement, or a written amendment to this Agreement signed by authorized representatives of each of the Parties.

     10.5 Non-Waiver. The failure of any Party to insist on the performance of any obligation hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such obligation. Waiver of any breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or any other provision on such occasion or any other occasion. No waiver, modification, release or amendment of any right or obligation under or provision of this Agreement shall be valid or effective unless in writing and signed by all Parties hereto.

     10.6 Independent Contractors. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind or commit the other Party in any way. Nothing herein shall be construed to create the relationship of partnership, principal and agent, joint venture or any other fiduciary relationship between the Parties.

     10.7 Severance. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof.

For clarity, it shall not be reasonable for Amgen to withhold such consent so long as the assignment of Anthera’s rights and obligations under this Agreement will have no material adverse impact on the development and/or commercialization timelines for each Licensed Product targeted by Anthera prior to such assignment. Subject to the restrictions contained in the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the Parties. In the event that a Party seeks the other Party’s written consent to delegate its duties of performance or assign, in whole or part, its rights or obligations under this Agreement, the other Party shall notify the requesting Party whether it consents to such delegation or assignment within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such

request.

Anthera, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise any or all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.

     10.10 Headings; Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement have been added for convenience only and shall not be construed as limiting. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party. The words “include,” “includes,” or “including” shall be deemed followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and other words of similar import in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the exhibits, and not to any particular section, paragraph or clause contained in this Agreement.

     10.11 Limitation of Liability. NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANOTHER FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE DAMAGES AVAILABLE TO A PARTY FOR THE OTHER PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 6 OR THE RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER ARTICLE 8.
