by written notice to the other Party, one of its personnel as its

Section 2.02 and the Transfer Plan. The Coordination Leads
shall carry out their responsibilities by any reasonable means or
practices as the Parties may mutually agree.
6.

therefor set forth in Exhibit H in accordance with the
schedule set forth therein.
Section 2.05 Assumption of

term " Assumed Liabilities " shall mean, refer to and
include only those liabilities listed on Exhibit F
.
(c) Definition of
Excluded Liabilities . Except for the Assumed Liabilities,
Purchaser does not assume and is not assuming any 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 Liabilities.
Section 2.06
Consideration . On the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement, in addition to the payments
contemplated by Section 2.07(a), the consideration for the

(a) Royalties .
(i) In
consideration for the assignment and transfer of the Assigned
Assets, with respect to Net Sales Purchaser shall pay to Aradigm,
during the Royalty Term:
(1) For
each Non-Sumatriptan Product, [****] percent ([****]%) of Net Sales
of such Non-Sumatriptan Product, provided that in the event and to
the extent such Non-Sumatriptan Product is commercialized by a
Licensee Purchaser may at its election pay to Aradigm either [****]
percent ([****]%) of such Licensee’s Net Sales of such
Non-Sumatriptan Product or [****] percent ([****]%) of
Purchaser’s Royalty Revenues from such Licensee in respect of
such Non-Sumatriptan Product. Purchaser shall make its election
with respect to each such Non-Sumatriptan Product by written notice
to Aradigm of its election on or before the date its first payment
would be due under Section 2.06(a)(vi) in respect of such
Non-Sumatriptan Product under either of the foregoing

7.
(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

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
this Section 2.06(a). Such report shall include, as
applicable, at least (A) the total of Net Sales during such
quarterly period; (B) the calculation of royalties;
(C) the calculation of Royalty Revenue for each applicable
Non-Sumatriptan Product and (D) the total royalties and other

Parties any information contained in reports provided to Aradigm

waiver of the issuer thereof or the other Party thereto, or any
third Person (including a Governmental Body), or if such sale,
