Reference is made to (i) the License and

On the date hereof, at the request of Vyteris,

matters) of the Equipment to Borrower’s Facility subject to
paragraph 8 hereof.
2. Section
2.01(a) of the License Agreement is hereby amended to (a) insert
the words “irrevocable (subject only to Ferring’s
fulfillment of its obligations under the License Agreement)”

provisions of this Section 2.02 and cooperate with Ferring in all
reasonable respects related thereto solely by the prompt
transmittal to Ferring of copies of all manufacturing Know How
existing as of the date hereof. Vyteris makes no
representations to Ferring with regard to such documentation, and
Vyteris has no further obligations to Ferring regarding the
manufacturing Know-How”.
“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Vyteris hereby grants Ferring the irrevocable
right, at Ferring’s election which may be exercised at any
time, to make or have made the Product (by Ferring itself, its
sublicensee(s) and/or by a third party selected by Ferring) to
provide supplies of the Product for Phase III trials and/or for
commercial supply of the Product for marketing and sale by Ferring
and/or its affiliates and sublicensees hereunder. This
right shall survive termination of this Agreement and continue
thereafter so long as Ferring has the license to market and sell
