* Confidential Information, indicated by [***], has been omitted from this filing and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Milestone Event	Milestone Payment to Alnara Former Investors	Milestone Payment to Lilly

* Confidential Information, indicated by [***], has been omitted from this filing and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.2 Royalties. The Parties acknowledge that Alnara Former Investors have interests in the royalties set forth in this Section 3.2. As partial consideration for the license and other rights granted to Anthera hereunder, Anthera shall pay to Lilly and Alnara Former Investors royalties required pursuant to the terms of the Alnara Agreement as set forth below. As partial consideration for the license and other rights granted to Anthera under this Agreement and subject to any applicable reductions and offsets under Sections 3.3-3.8 of this Agreement and the other provisions of this Agreement, Anthera shall pay tiered royalties on annual Net Sales of Licensed Products sold in the Territory, which payments shall be determined based on the formulation of the applicable Licensed Product triggering a royalty payments (i.e., whether such Licensed Product is a Capsule Product or a Reformulated Product).

The applicable royalty rate shall be determined based on the formulation of the applicable Licensed Product sold in accordance with the following tables:

Aggregate Annual Net Sales of Capsule Product and Reformulated Product in the Territory Royalty Payable to Lilly
	Portion of Net Sales up to US $[***] in a Calendar Year	Portion of Net Sales over $[*] up to $[*] in a Calendar Year	Portion of Net Sales over $[*] up to $[*] in a Calendar Year	Portion of Net Sales over $[***] in a Calendar Year

* Confidential Information, indicated by [***], has been omitted from this filing and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Aggregate Annual Net Sales of Capsule Product and Reformulated Product in the Territory Royalty Payable to Alnara Former Investors
	Portion of Net Sales up to US $[***] in a Calendar Year	Portion of Net Sales over $[*] up to $[*] in a Calendar Year	Portion of Net Sales over $[*] up to $[*] in a Calendar Year	Portion of Net Sales over $[***] in a Calendar Year
Capsule Product	[***]%	[***]%	[***]%	[***]%
Reformulated Product	[***]%	[***]%	[***]%	[***]%

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2, the initial US $[***] of cumulative aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Product shall not be subject to any obligation to pay royalties under this Section 3.2 or any other part of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, such exclusion shall only apply once, to the first US $[***] in cumulative aggregate worldwide Net Sales of Licensed Product commencing on First Commercial Sale. Upon Net Sales exceeding this initial US $[***], Anthera will begin to pay royalties according to the table above and beginning with the initial rate for Net Sales of (as applicable) Capsule Product or Reformulated Product beyond the initial US $[***].

By way of example, if half of the initial US $[***] of cumulative aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Product that is exempt from royalties as set forth above consists of Net Sales of Capsule Product and half consists Net Sales of Reformulated Product, then after Net Sales of all Licensed Products exceed this initial US $[***], Anthera will begin to pay royalties on Net Sales of Capsule Product at [***]% to the Alnara Former Investors and [***]% to Lilly, until the total sales of Capsule Product in the Calendar Year (including the $[***] Net Sales of Capsule Product that was exempt from royalties) exceed $[***], at which point Anthera will begin to pay royalties on Net Sales of Capsule Product at [***]% to the Alnara Former Investors and [***]% to Lilly.

By way of further example, if Net Sales for the calendar year in which First Commercial Sale occurs are US $[***], and all such Net Sales are of Capsule Product and not Reformulated Product, then (subject to any applicable reductions and offsets under Sections 3.3-3.8 of this Agreement and the other provisions of this Agreement) (i) Lilly will be entitled to royalties equal to US $[***] and (ii) the Alnara Former Investors will be entitled to royalties equal to US $[***], calculated as follows: The initial US $[***] of Net Sales shall be free from royalty obligation. The next US $[***] of Net Sales shall be subject to (i) an [***]% royalty rate payable to Lilly (or $[***] in royalties) and (ii) a [***]% royalty rate payable to the Alnara Former Investors (or $[***] in royalties). The next US $[***] of Net Sales shall be subject to (i) a [***]% royalty rate payable to Lilly (or $[***] in royalties) and (ii) a [***]% royalty rate (or $[***] in royalties) payable to the Alnara Former Investors.

* Confidential Information, indicated by [***], has been omitted from this filing and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The applicable royalty rate under this Section 3.2 shall be reduced by [***] ([***]%) in each country where a generic version(s) of the applicable Licensed Product are marketed and sold by a Third Party in such country and such generic version(s) has achieved a total market share, in the aggregate, during any period of [***], of [***] ([***]%) or more of the total unit sales of wholesalers to pharmacies of Licensed Product sold by Anthera and its Affiliates or sublicensees and all generic versions combined in the applicable country.

3.3 Length of Royalty Obligations. Anthera’s obligation to pay royalties with respect to each Licensed Product in each country in the Territory shall commence on the date of the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country and shall expire upon the later of (a) twelve (12) years following the date of the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country, and (b) the expiration of the last Valid Claim.

3.4 Third Party Royalties. If Anthera or its Affiliates or sublicensees are required to obtain a license or other similar right under any intellectual property rights of a Third Party that claim or cover the composition, method of making, or method of using a Licensed Product, Anthera shall have the right to offset [***] the royalties and other consideration due to such Third Party under such license or other similar right against the amount of royalties otherwise owed pursuant to Section 3.2; provided, however, that in no event will the amount of royalty paid by Anthera annually be less than [***] the amount otherwise owed to Lilly and Alnara Former Investors on a pro rata basis. If Anthera or its Affiliates make material payments to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for its support or services in connection with Anthera, its Affiliates, or sublicensees developing, obtaining regulatory approval for, and commercializing Licensed Products in the Territory, Anthera may provide notice to Lilly of a request to discuss such payments. Upon receipt of such request, Lilly will respond promptly, and the Parties shall within thirty (30) days after Lilly’s receipt of such request, discuss in good faith the impact of such payments on the development, approval and commercialization of the Licensed Products.

3.5 Compulsory License. If a Third Party obtains a Compulsory License with respect to a particular Licensed Product in a specific country in the Territory, the Party first to be notified will promptly notify the other Party thereof. If the royalty rates payable by the grantee of the Compulsory License are less than the royalty rates applicable in such country as set forth in Section 3.2 above, then the royalty rates payable by Anthera with respect to sales of the applicable Licensed Product in such country will be [***].

(d) Withholding Taxes. Each Party will be responsible for its own liabilities for income tax, insurance or any other taxes or duties arising as a result of its performance under this Agreement including any taxes owed for payments made by Anthera to Lilly pursuant to this Agreement. If any payments owed by Anthera under this Agreement become subject to withholding taxes under the applicable laws of any state, federal, provincial or foreign government, it shall be authorized to withhold such taxes as are required, pay such taxes to the appropriate government authority, and remit the balance due to Lilly and/or Alnara Former Investors net of such taxes; provided, that Anthera shall then secure and deliver to Lilly and/or Alnara Former Investors an official receipt for taxes paid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if an action (including any assignment or sublicense of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or any failure to comply with Applicable Law or filing or record retention requirements) by Anthera leads to the imposition of withholding tax liability or VAT on Lilly or the Alnara Former Investors that would not have been imposed in the absence of such action or in an increase in such liability above the liability that would have been imposed in the absence of such action, Anthera shall indemnify and hold harmless Lilly or the Alnara Former Investors from any such additional or increased withholding tax liability or VAT (except to the extent that Lilly or the Alnara Former Investors are able to (i) claim a credit to offset taxes otherwise payable, or (ii) reclaim the withheld tax; provided that Lilly or the Alnara Former Investors will be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred to reclaim the withheld tax).

(e) Late Payment. Any amounts not paid by Anthera when due under this Agreement will be subject to interest from and including the date payment is due through and including the date upon which Lilly and Alnara Former Investors have collected the funds in accordance herewith at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of five percent (5%) plus the prime rate of interest quoted in the Money Rates (or equivalent) section of the Wall Street Journal per annum, calculated daily on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, or (ii) the maximum interest rate allowed by law.

3.8 Audit Rights. Anthera shall keep (and, as applicable, shall cause its Affiliates and require its sublicensees to keep) complete and accurate books and records as are necessary to ascertain Anthera’s compliance with this Agreement, including such records as are necessary to verify royalty payments owed. Upon the written request of Lilly and not more than once in each calendar year, Anthera shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by Lilly and acceptable to Anthera, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at Lilly’s expense, to have access upon prior written notice during normal business hours to such of the records of Anthera as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports hereunder for any year ending not more than [***] prior to the date of such request. Lilly shall submit an audit plan, including audit scope, to Anthera at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of such audit. The accounting firm shall disclose to Lilly only whether the reports are correct and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be shared. Lilly shall treat all financial information subject to review under this Section 3.8 as confidential, and shall cause its accounting firm to retain all such financial information in confidence. All amounts due as shown by the audit shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the final audit report. If the audit shows that the royalty amounts paid by Anthera for the period audited are [***] less than the amount actually due for such period, Anthera shall pay [***] reasonable expenses of Lilly in conducting the audit. Anthera will include in all sublicenses granted in accordance herewith, and any other agreements enabling a Third Person to be a seller of Licensed Products, an audit provision substantially similar to the foregoing requiring such seller to keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Licensed Products and granting Lilly the right to audit the accuracy of the information reported by the sublicensee in connection therewith.

* Confidential Information, indicated by [***], has been omitted from this filing and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.9 Insurance. Anthera shall at all times from the Effective Date maintain standard products liability/completed operations insurance at its own expense covering all claims against Anthera and/or Lilly whatsoever and howsoever arising from the manufacture, sale, distribution or use of Licensed Products (collectively, the “Insured Product Activity”) by Anthera, its servants, employees, agents and assigns, with coverage limits of not less than the minimum coverage limits for the relevant country for which such insurance is obtained and consistent with insurance levels for other Anthera programs of similar development or commercial stage (the “Anthera Insurance”). Such Anthera Insurance shall remain in force in a country where there is Insured Product Activity until twelve (12) months after such time that a Licensed Product is no longer being commercialized in such country.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lilly will provide Anthera with Licensed Know-How that will supplement Anthera expertise in fermentation and purification of enzymatic products as relates only to production of the Licensed Product.

(c) Anthera desires to meet the timeline set out in the diligence provisions of Section 4.5, and Lilly will make reasonable efforts to perform the knowledge transfer to enable Anthera to meet such deadlines, subject to Anthera’s ability to perform and the uncertainties inherent in any product development activities.

* Confidential Information, indicated by [***], has been omitted from this filing and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(d) Lilly will grant Anthera access during normal business hours to necessary Lilly personnel for the knowledge transfer to reasonably enable and facilitate an effective transition for the Licensed Product. All requests for conferences or direct access to specific people or areas at Lilly by Anthera shall be in writing to: Steven Walker, Advisor-, Alliance Management (walker_steven_w@lilly.com) with a copy to Jeremy Fitch, Advisor, Business Development (fitch_jeremy_b@lilly.com).

(e) Access to Lilly personnel for knowledge transfer services during the Transition Period shall be at no cost to Anthera, to a total of [***].

Lilly shall act reasonably in considering any request by Anthera for such services.

(i) Upon the request of Anthera, and as soon as practicable thereafter, Lilly will make available to Anthera and transfer to Anthera upon Anthera’s reasonable request:

(i) the Regulatory Documents. Thereafter, Anthera shall hold title to such Regulatory Documents in the Field, and shall assume full responsibility for INDs included therein.

4.3 Transfer of Working Cell Banks. As requested by Anthera, Lilly shall transfer Working Cell Banks to one or more contract manufacturers designated by Anthera to enable manufacturing of Licensed Products. Anthera shall reimburse Lilly for the supply of such Working Cell Banks in accordance with the prices set forth in the Manufacturing License Agreement (as defined in Section 4.9).

4.4 Governmental Filings. Each of the Parties agrees to prepare and file whatever filings, requests, or applications are required to be filed with any governmental authority in connection with transferring the development of Licensed Products to Anthera including, without limitation, all documentation required to be filed with Regulatory Authorities in order to transfer all Regulatory Documents to Anthera.

4.5 Diligence.

(a) Anthera shall have sole control of and responsibility for all aspects of developing, obtaining Regulatory Approval for, and commercializing Licensed Products in the Territory. Anthera, either on its own or through its Affiliates or sublicensees, shall, at its own expense, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to undertake all Development Work necessary to obtain Regulatory Approval for at least one Licensed Product in the United States and at least one Licensed Product in each of the Additional Countries. Anthera shall notify Lilly of its decision to pursue Regulatory Approval for a Licensed Product in any additional countries in the Territory (each such country, an “Additional Country”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Anthera, either on its own or through its Affiliates or sublicensees, develops a particular Licensed Product for the purpose of seeking Regulatory Approval of such product as an Orphan Drug and obtains Regulatory Approval of such Licensed Product in the United States, Anthera shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.5, regardless of whether Anthera is able to obtain Regulatory Approval of another Licensed Product in the United States. In addition, Anthera, either on its own or through its Affiliates or sublicensees, shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promote, market, and sell Licensed Products for which Regulatory Approval has been obtained, in the countries of such approval.

(b) A list of development activities in support of the obligations set forth in Section 4.5(a) is set forth in Exhibit D hereto, which exhibit may be updated by Anthera from time to time upon written notice to Lilly. Anthera will report to Lilly and the Alnara Former Investors on its development progress twice annually by January 1 and July 1 of each Calendar Year in order for Lilly to confirm the status of development of Licensed Products.

(c) Anthera shall begin the manufacture of Licensed Product from the [***] inventory enzymes provided by Lilly (Exhibit E) within [***] of the Effective Date.

(d) Anthera shall dose at least [***] patients in a [***] for Liprotamase within [***] after the Effective Date.

(e) The time periods set forth in Section 4.5(c), 4.5(d) and 4.5(f) shall be automatically extended to the extent a delay arises from insufficient capacity of the relevant vendors, Lilly’s failure to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement (including under Sections 4.1-4.4), or other causes out of Anthera’s control, and in the case of Section 4.5(d), automatically and for the same period of time as any extension under Section 4.5(c).

* Confidential Information, indicated by [***], has been omitted from this filing and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(f) If (i) Lilly believes that Anthera is not using Commercially Reasonable Efforts hereunder or (ii) Anthera has not dosed at least [***] patients in a [***] for Liprotamase within [***] after the Execution Date, Lilly may notify Anthera in writing detailing its specific concerns and recommendations, and the Parties then will discuss in good faith and seek to agree upon what reasonable steps should be taken by Anthera in order to fulfill its obligations hereunder, including a commercially reasonable period of time for Anthera to fulfill such obligations. If the Parties cannot agree on such steps or time period, an independent research and development organization located in the Territory with good reputation in the pharmaceutical industry, independent and unaffiliated with both Parties, and selected mutually by the Parties acting reasonably, shall establish such reasonable steps and/or commercially reasonable time period. Thereafter, (x) Anthera shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take such steps in order to fulfill its obligations within the period of time agreed to by the Parties or established by the independent research and development organization and (y) Lilly shall not be permitted to terminate the Agreement for breach of this Section 4.5 during such agreed or established period of time so long as Anthera is using such Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Lilly’s sole remedy for uncured breach of this Section 4.5 shall be to terminate the Agreement.

4.6 Financing Commitments. Anthera (or Alkira, if this Agreement has been sublicensed to Alkira pursuant to Section 2.3(a)), will raise (a) at least $5,000,000 within five (5) days of the Effective Date, and (b) an aggregate of at least twenty five million dollars ($25,000,000) (inclusive of amounts raised under subclause (a)) within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date, for use for clinical development, regulatory, manufacturing, and other costs related to Licensed Product; provided, that Anthera shall be granted reasonable extension of such time period to finalize the financing documents upon Lilly’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Anthera does not raise the financing amounts specified in either subclause (a) or (b) above, within the time frame set forth in the applicable subsection (as the time frame may be extended per the above), then Lilly or Anthera shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately on written notice to the other Party, and in the event of such termination all Lilly intellectual property and other Lilly rights related to the Licensed Product or otherwise granted by Lilly hereunder shall revert to Lilly.

4.7 Compliance by Anthera. Anthera will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, regulatory requirements and industry codes of conduct generally accepted in the pharmaceutical industry relating to its development, manufacture, distributing, marketing, promotion, selling, importing and exporting of the Licensed Products. Anthera agrees and acknowledges that, as holder of the Regulatory Documents with respect to Licensed Products, it will have sole responsibility for, among other things, adverse event reporting and all other regulatory reporting and regulatory document maintenance obligations.

4.8 Development Progress Meetings. Upon the request of Lilly, but not more than twice per year, Anthera shall meet with Lilly to review the status of the development of Licensed Products by Anthera and its Affiliates and sublicensees. Such meetings may be held telephonically.

Each Party shall notify the other of any infringement or possible infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights in the Territory by a Third Party promptly after it becomes aware of such infringement. Anthera (or its Affiliate or sublicensee, as applicable) will have the first right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, and control any action or proceeding with respect to infringement in the Territory of the Licensed Patent Rights (an “Enforcement Action”), by counsel of its own choice. Lilly shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice, provided that Anthera will in any event control the action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to initiating an action or proceeding against a Third Party with respect to the Licensed Patent Rights, Anthera shall notify Lilly of its intent to bring such action or proceeding and shall consult with Lilly regarding Anthera’s planned course of action. Lilly shall have the option to assign to Anthera its ownership interest in any patent applications or patents at issue prior to the initiation by Anthera of an infringement action or proceeding with respect to such patent applications or patents. Lilly shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Anthera at Anthera’s expense and may, at their sole discretion and expense and by counsel of their choice, join in such Enforcement Action. If Anthera does not institute an Enforcement Action within (a) [***] following written notice of alleged infringement and request by Lilly to initiate such action, or (b) [***] before the time limit, if any, set forth in the appropriate laws and regulations for the filing of such actions, whichever comes first, Lilly shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any such action or proceeding at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. In such event, Anthera shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Lilly in connection with such Enforcement Action at Lilly’s expense. If Lilly institutes an Enforcement Action, Anthera shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Any damages, settlement amounts, or other consideration resulting from any such action, after reimbursement of each Party’s attorneys fees and court costs in connection with such action and other expenses related thereto, shall belong to the Party that initiated the action; provided, however, that if Anthera is the initiating Party, the remainder (after reimbursement of fees, costs and other expenses related thereto of the Parties) will be deemed to be Net Sales subject to applicable royalty obligations.

8.4 Third Party Infringement Claims. Each Party shall promptly inform the other Party after it becomes aware of any claim, threat, or suit by a Third Party alleging that the manufacture, use, importation, or sale of Licensed Products in the Territory infringes any patents or other intellectual property rights of such Third Party. Anthera (or its Affiliate or sublicensee, as designated by Anthera) shall have final control, at its discretion, of the defense against such claim, threat, or suit and any settlement thereof in the Territory; provided that Anthera shall not settle such claim, threat, or suit in a manner that adversely affects Lilly’s interest in the Licensed Patent Rights including the validity of the patent applications and patents within the Licensed Patent Rights, without the prior written consent of Lilly, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Anthera shall bear its own out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such legal proceedings and the amount of settlements or damages awarded to a Third Party as a result of the suit for infringement by Anthera of such Third Party’s patents or other intellectual property rights or settlement thereof; provided, however, that Anthera shall be entitled to offset [***] of the amount of costs and expenses of defense, settlements and/or damages paid by Anthera (or its Affiliate or sublicensee, as applicable) to a Third Party under this Section 8.4 against any royalties owed under this Agreement to Lilly and Alnara Former Investors on a pro rata basis.

8.5 Maintenance of Trademarks and Prosecution of Trademarks.

Anthera shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain or have maintained all trademark registrations and diligently prosecute trademark applications comprising the Trademark Rights in the United States and in such other countries in the Territory that Anthera shall deem commercially reasonable to do so; provided, that Anthera shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to abandon any trademark registration or trademark application within the Trademark Rights, based on its internal decision-making process.

8.6 Trademark Infringement. Each Party shall notify the other of any infringement or possible infringement of the Trademark Rights in the Territory by a Third Party promptly after it becomes aware of such infringement. Anthera (or its Affiliate or sublicensee, as applicable) will have the first right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, and control any action or proceeding with respect to infringement in the Territory of the Trademark Rights (a “Trademark Enforcement Action”), by counsel of its own choice. Lilly shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice, provided that Anthera will in any event control the action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to initiating an action or proceeding against a Third Party with respect to the Trademark Rights, Anthera shall notify Lilly of its intent to bring such action or proceeding and shall consult with Lilly regarding Anthera’s planned course of action. Lilly shall have the option to assign to Anthera its ownership interest in any Trademark Rights at issue prior to the initiation by Anthera of an infringement action or proceeding with respect to such Trademark Rights. Lilly shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Anthera at Anthera’s expense and may, at their sole discretion and expense and by counsel of their choice, join in such Trademark Enforcement Action. If Anthera does not institute an Enforcement Action within (a) [***] following written notice of alleged infringement and request by Lilly to initiate such action, or (b) [***] before the time limit, if any, set forth in the appropriate laws and regulations for the filing of such actions, whichever comes first, Lilly shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any such action or proceeding at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. In such event, Anthera shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Lilly in connection with such Trademark Enforcement Action at Lilly’s expense. If Lilly institutes a Trademark Enforcement Action, Anthera shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Any damages, settlement amounts, or other consideration resulting from any such action, after reimbursement of each Party’s attorney’s fees and court costs in connection with such action, shall belong to the Party that initiated the action; provided, however, that if Anthera is the initiating Party, the remainder (after reimbursement of fees, costs and other expenses related thereto of the Parties) will be deemed to be Net Sales subject to applicable royalty obligations.

8.7 Use of Trademark Rights. Anthera shall use the Trademark Rights in accordance with sound trademark and trade name usage principles and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Anthera shall not use the Trademark Rights in any manner which might tarnish, disparage, or reflect adversely on Lilly or the Trademark Rights.

ARTICLE 9

TERM AND TERMINATION

9.1 Term. This Agreement shall be effective as the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated by mutual agreement of the Parties or in accordance with other provisions herein, shall continue and remain in effect for the duration of Anthera’s royalty obligations to Lilly and the Alnara Former Investors hereunder, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis. The license granted to Anthera under Section 2.1 shall survive, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, the expiration of this Agreement (for clarity, not termination), but shall, as of the date of expiration of the Agreement automatically become a fully paid up, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license.

9.2 Termination. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(a) Anthera Termination. After three (3) years from the Effective Date, Anthera may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time by giving ninety (90) days’ written notice to Lilly of such termination, for technical, legal (such as intellectual property issues), commercial, regulatory, or scientific reasons.

(b) Termination For Default. Anthera shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for default due to Lilly’s uncured failure to comply in any material respect with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Lilly shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for default due to Anthera’s uncured failure to comply in any material respect with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. At least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to any such termination for default, 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(b), which notice shall set forth the default(s) which form the basis for such termination. If the defaulting Party fails to correct such default(s) within one hundred twenty (120) days (thirty (30) days in the case of a monetary default) after receipt of notification, or if the same cannot reasonably be corrected or remedied within one hundred twenty (120) days, then if the defaulting Party has not commenced curing said default(s) within said one hundred twenty (120) days and is not diligently pursuing completion of same, the other Party immediately may terminate this Agreement.

9.3 Anthera Rights Upon Termination for Default By Lilly. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Anthera under Section 9.2(b), Anthera may, at its option, pursue any legal or equitable remedies it may have as a result of Lilly’s breach, and such termination shall be without prejudice to such other legal or equitable remedies.

* Confidential Information, indicated by [***], has been omitted from this filing and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

9.4 Continuing Obligations. Except as otherwise provided above, termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior thereto and shall be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of either Party with respect to any antecedent breach of the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, shall serve to terminate the obligations of the Parties hereto under Sections 2.4, 3.8, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, and 9.6, and Articles 6, 7, and 10 [subject to review] and such other Sections as by their nature should survive, and such obligations shall survive any such termination.

9.5 Effects of Termination. If the Agreement is terminated for any reason other than for Lilly’s uncured material breach of the Agreement, Anthera shall no longer make any use of the license granted by Lilly hereunder and shall, at Lilly’s request, transfer to Lilly or its designee all Regulatory Approvals and Applications for Marketing Authorization for Licensed Products, grant Lilly co-exclusive licenses to any intellectual property controlled by Anthera relating to the Licensed Products, solely with respect to development and commercialization of Licensed Products, and otherwise assist Lilly so that Lilly may take over the development and/or commercialization of Licensed Products; provided, however, if sublicensee(s) of Anthera that are not in breach of their sublicense agreements elect to continue the development and/or commercialization of the Licensed Products, Lilly shall assume such sublicense agreements as direct licenses from Lilly to such sublicensee(s), provided, however, that Lilly shall not be obligated to assume any obligations under such agreements that are in excess of the obligations of Lilly under this Agreement, unless Lilly agrees otherwise in its sole discretion.

9.6 Disposal of Licensed Products. If Lilly consents, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Anthera may manufacture Licensed Products and may sell the Licensed Products in the Territory at its regular commercial conditions for a period of [***] after such termination, subject to Anthera’s agreement to strictly observe the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, including the obligation to pay royalties in accordance with Article 3 hereof.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Assignment. Anthera shall not have the right to assign this Agreement for three (3) years following the Effective Date without the prior written consent of Lilly; provided, however, that Anthera may assign this Agreement during such three (3) year period without the consent of Lilly (i) in connection with the acquisition of Anthera or the sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of Anthera, whether by merger, acquisition, or otherwise or (ii) to a wholly-owned Affiliate of Anthera. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights hereunder shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations or liability hereunder. Anthera shall notify Lilly within ten (10) days after the assignment of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

* Confidential Information, indicated by [***], has been omitted from this filing and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

10.2 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall, to any extent, be held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, in case such invalidation or unenforceability injures the rights and interests of a Party, the Parties hereto shall renegotiate this Agreement in good faith to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

10.3 Entirety of Agreement; Modification. This Agreement constitutes the entire, final, and complete agreement and understanding between the Parties, and replaces and supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between them with respect to the subject matter hereof. No modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the Parties hereto unless made in writing and duly executed on behalf of each of the Parties hereto.

10.4 Official Text and Governing Law. The English version of this Agreement subscribed and executed by the Parties hereto shall be the official text, and this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different state or country. Any disputes under this Agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York. The Parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for any such action, agree that such courts provide a convenient forum for any such action, and waive any objections or challenges to venue with respect to such courts.

10.5 Force Majeure. If a Party is prevented from complying, either totally or in part, with any of the terms or provisions set forth herein by reason of force majeure, including, by way of example and not of limitation, fire, flood, explosion, storm, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, riot, war, rebellion, terrorist act, accidents, acts of God, acts of governmental agencies or instrumentalities, failure of suppliers or any other similar or dissimilar cause, in each case to the extent beyond its reasonable control, said Party will promptly provide written notice of same to the other Party. Said notice will identify the requirements of this Agreement or such of its obligations as may be affected, and said obligations will be suspended during the period of such disability. The Party prevented from performing hereunder will use reasonable efforts to remove such disability and will continue performance whenever such causes are removed. The Party so affected will give to the other Party a good faith estimate of the continuing effect of the force majeure condition and the duration of the affected Party’s nonperformance.

10.6 Notice. Any notice required to be given by a Party in connection with this Agreement shall be given in the English language by prepaid airmail, express delivery service, or facsimile, and shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes (a) when received, if sent by express delivery service, (b) seven (7) business days after mailing, if mailed by airmail, or (c) when received by recipient, if sent by facsimile transmission with electronic confirmation of transmission if transmission is confirmed during the recipient’s normal business hours, or otherwise on the recipient’s next business day.
