(c)
Definition of Excluded Liabilities . Except for the Assumed

debt, liability, duty or other obligation (of any kind) of Aradigm,
whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, and regardless of
when such liabilities or obligations may arise or may have arisen
or when asserted, including any liabilities, or obligations related
to the Assigned Assets which are outstanding or unpaid as of the
Closing (the “ Excluded Liabilities ”), and
Aradigm shall remain responsible for the Excluded

Section 2.06

set forth in this Agreement, in addition to the payments

Non-Sumatriptan Product or [****] percent ([****]%) of

such Non-Sumatriptan Product. Purchaser shall make its election
with respect to each such Non-Sumatriptan Product by written notice

(ii)
Combination Products . In the event that a Product is sold
in the form of a combination product (a “ Combination
Product ”) containing both (1) such Product and
(2) another product or service for which no royalty would be
due hereunder if sold separately, the Net Sales from such
combination sales for purposes of calculating the amounts due under
this Section 2.06(a) shall be calculated by multiplying Net
Sales of the Combination Product by a fraction that reasonably
reflects the fair value of the contribution of the Product in the
Combination Product to the total market value of such Combination
Product, which fraction shall be established by the Purchaser and
Aradigm through good faith negotiations and mutual agreement, on a
Combination Product-by-Combination Product basis.
(iii)
Single Royalty . Only one royalty shall be paid with respect
to each unit of Product that is subject to royalties under this

otherwise. In no event shall more than one royalty be due under
this Section 2.06(a) with respect to any Product
unit.
(iv)
Milestone Payment . Purchaser shall pay Aradigm $[****]
within 30 days of the first U.S. commercial sale of the
Sumatriptan Product.
(v)
Records . During the term of this Agreement and for a period
of three years thereafter, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall keep,
and shall cause its licensees and sublicensees to keep, complete
and accurate records of their Net Sales in sufficient detail to
enable the amounts payable under this Section 2.06(a) to be
determined. Upon Aradigm’s written request, but not more
frequently than once per calendar year, Purchaser shall permit
representatives or agents of Aradigm, at Aradigm’s expense,
to examine such records during Purchaser’s regular business
hours for the purpose of and to the extent necessary to verify any

promptly pay to Aradigm any amount due and unpaid. In the event
that it is determined, as a result of such examination, that the
amount underpaid with respect to a given payment is in excess of 5%

Aradigm for all costs incurred by Aradigm in conducting such
examination.

end of each quarterly period, Purchaser shall deliver to Aradigm a
true and accurate report, giving such particulars of the business
conducted by Purchaser, its Affiliates and Licensees, during such
quarterly period as are pertinent to account for payments due under

applicable, at least (A) the total of Net Sales during such
quarterly period; (B) the calculation of royalties;

transferred, delivered or assumed to or by Purchaser pursuant
hereto, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or
resulting therefrom, is not capable of being sold, conveyed,
assigned, transferred or delivered without the approval, consent or
waiver of the issuer thereof or the other Party thereto, or any
third Person (including a Governmental Body), or if such sale,
conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery or attempted sale,
