Section 1542 of California Civil Code. Each of Tercica,

and the benefits thereof are hereby expressly waived.
Section 1542 provides as follows: “A general release
does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or
suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release,

with the debtor.”

conclusions of law, the findings of fact, waivers and stipulations
set forth in the Permanent Injunction.
2.8 Discontinuance of UK
Proceedings. The Parties shall promptly and permanently
discontinue the claims and counterclaims in the UK Proceedings, on
the basis that each Party shall be responsible for the costs
incurred by it in connection with those proceedings (other than
costs which have already been paid by one Party to another pursuant
to an order of the United Kingdom Court made prior to the Effective
Date). The Parties shall accordingly enter into and perform
the UK Proceedings Settlement Agreement relating to the UK
Proceedings in the form of Exhibit C forthwith following the
execution of this Agreement. Insmed shall ensure that Avecia
shall, and shall cause Avecia to, execute such settlement agreement
and do all such acts and execute all such documents as may be
necessary or desirable to give effect to the provisions of such
settlement agreement, including the discontinuance of the claims
brought by Avecia against Tercica and GNE in the course of the UK
Proceedings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 2.8, as between Tercica and GNE, Tercica shall absorb
and bear sole responsibility for payment of any fees, costs, and
expenses incurred by GNE relating to the prosecution and/or defense
of the Lawsuit and/or the UK Proceedings (with the exception of the
time and expenses of any GNE employee(s) allocated or attributed to
such prosecution and/or defense, which costs shall be borne by
GNE).

2.9 Survival of this
Article 2. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the
releases, waivers, and covenants made in this Article 2 shall
survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement,
including any termination based on a claim by a Party that another
Party has breached this Agreement, the Permanent Injunction or the
UK Proceedings Settlement Agreement and any such breach shall not
be construed as evidence of a failure of consideration for the
granting of the releases, waivers and covenants set forth in this
Article 2.

more of the Named Patient Indications, on a Named Patient Basis
only; provided that Tercica and GNE each shall have the right to

exclusion of rights and restrictive covenants set forth in
Section 3.1(e), Tercica’s and GNE’s Opt-In rights
described in Section 4.2, Insmed’s royalty obligations
under Section 7.1 below, and Insmed’s continued
compliance with its covenants in Section 3.5 and the Permanent
Injunction and UK Proceedings Settlement Agreement, Tercica hereby
grants Insmed a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license, or
sublicense, as applicable, with the right to sublicense solely as

entire right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Patents to

sale in all countries in the Territory, solely for use in the

unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(d) Limited
Covenant-Not-To-Sue for ALS Indication on Named Patient Basis in

including without limitation Insmed’s fulfillment of its
royalty obligations to GNE under Section 7.1 below, and
Insmed’s continued compliance with its covenants in
Section 3.5 and the Permanent Injunction and UK Proceedings
Settlement Agreement, each of GNE and Tercica hereby covenants that
it shall not, to the extent it has the right to do so, enforce, or
permit or encourage the enforcement of, against Insmed or its
Affiliates any Licensed Patents in connection with the making,
having made and using of a Product for the limited purpose of:
(i) using, selling, offering for sale, and importing Product
for sale in Italy solely for the treatment of ALS on a Named
Patient Basis only; provided that each of Tercica and GNE shall
have the right to perform audits, either by itself or through its
designee, on Insmed’s compliance with any laws, regulations
and guidelines applicable to conducting such activities on a Named
Patient Basis in addition to, and pursuant to the procedures
described in, Section 7.8, and (ii) conducting a single
non-pivotal clinical trial (i.e., such clinical trial cannot and
shall not be used to support regulatory filing or application for
Marketing Authorizations anywhere in the Territory), for the ALS
indication in Italy, in connection with Insmed’s treating
patients in Italy for the ALS indication on a Named Patient Basis.

royalties solely to GNE pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iii) based
upon Insmed’s sales under this Section 3.1(d) and
Tercica’s audit rights set forth in this Section 7.1(d),
each of Tercica and GNE reserves the right to its respective
interpretation of the GNE Licenses as to whether the scope of the
GNE Licenses includes a grant of rights to the ALS indication by

(e) Diabetes Restriction
in the Other Territory. Insmed hereby covenants that,
notwithstanding the license grant in Section 3.1(c), it will
not market, sell, offer for sale or have sold a Product for

or sale of such Product would infringe, in the Other Territory and
if not for the licenses granted under this Agreement, the patent
rights licensed to Tercica and sublicensed to Insmed under the GNE
Licenses.

covenant-not-to-sue granted in Sections 3.1(a) through
(d) relating to a Product include the right to make (and have
made) IGF-1 and IGFBP-3, solely for use in the manufacture of
Product, but such licenses do not include the right to use, sell,
offer for sale or import either IGF-1 or IGFBP-3
separately.
3.2 Rights Granted to
Tercica and GNE.
(a) Covenant not to
Sue. Insmed hereby covenants that it shall not enforce, or
permit or encourage the enforcement of, against Tercica, GNE or
Ipsen, or any of their respective Affiliates, sublicensees,
successors or assigns any Insmed Patents in connection with the
development or commercialization of any Non-Permitted Product in
the Territory, and in the event Insmed transfers any right under
such Insmed Patents to a Third Party, Insmed shall ensure that such
covenant not to sue is binding upon such Third Party in
writing.
(b) License in the Event
of an Opt-In. In the event Tercica and/or GNE exercises its
Opt-In right with respect to a given Permitted Indication pursuant
to Section 4.2 below, Insmed hereby grants such Opt-In Party a
non-exclusive, worldwide license, with the right to grant
sublicenses as provided in this Section 3.2(b), under the
Insmed Patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and
import Product for the Opt-In Indication as and to the extent
permitted under this Agreement. Any sublicense by Tercica or GNE
(or their assignees as permitted under Section 4.2(a)) under
the rights granted in this Section 3.2(b) to a sublicensee
other than a distributor, subcontractor or consultant in the normal
course of business shall be made by Tercica or GNE only with the
consent of Insmed, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
provided however that sublicenses to Ipsen shall not require the
consent of Insmed. In addition, Insmed agrees to execute all
documents as may be reasonably required by Tercica or GNE or Ipsen
or their authorized sublicensees for the purpose of recording any
such sublicense(s) with any relevant regulatory or administrative
authorities and in the event Insmed transfers any right in the
affected Insmed Patents to a Third Party, Insmed shall ensure that
such Third Party is bound, in writing, by the obligation set forth
in this sentence.
3.3 GNE Licenses. The
Parties acknowledge that the license granted to Insmed under
Section 3.1 above constitutes a sublicense with respect to the
GNE Patents under the licenses granted to Tercica by GNE under the
GNE Licenses. As a result, the licenses granted under
Section 3.1 above, and the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the GNE
Licenses. GNE hereby agrees to the granting of such sublicense to
Insmed by Tercica as set forth in Section 3.1. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as: (a) the expansion or
reduction of the scope of licenses Tercica received from GNE under
the GNE Licenses; or (b) implying whether or not the license
granted to Tercica under the GNE Agreements includes the ALS
indication.
3.4 No Implied
Licenses. Except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, no
Party grants any license, express or implied, under its

3.5 Insmed Covenants.
In light of the Lawsuit and the Damages awarded therein, and in
consideration of the licenses granted by Tercica and GNE to Insmed
in Section 3.1, Insmed hereby covenants the following (which
covenants shall be in addition to those set forth in the Permanent
Injunction):
(a) Insmed shall not,
and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to not, directly or
indirectly: (i) conduct clinical trials for or otherwise seek
any Marketing Authorization for, promote, market, or knowingly sell
or offer for sale a Product for the treatment of any Non-Permitted
Indication in any country in the Other Territory except as
expressly permitted under Section 3.1(b) above with respect to
the Named Patient Indications on a Named Patient Basis and
Section 3.1(d) above with respect to the ALS indication on a
Named Patient Basis, for so long as (A) any such clinical
trial or Marketing Authorization uses or depends on the supply of
such Product manufactured in a country in which such manufacture is
covered by any unexpired Licensed Patents in such country,
(B) any such promotion, marketing, sale or offer for sale of
such Product depends on the supply of such Product manufactured in
a country in which such manufacture is covered by any unexpired
Licensed Patents in such country, or (C) any such promotion,
marketing, sale or offer for sale of such Product arises from or
depends on the use, sale, offer for sale, or importation of such
Product in a country in which such use, sale, offer for sale, or
importation is covered by any unexpired Licensed Patents in such
country. For purposes of determining the duration of such covenant
in countries in the Other Territory where a Product is sold which
is manufactured in the United States, the last to expire Licensed
Patents with respect to such countries shall include U.S. Patent
No. 6,331,414 to the extent such patent covers the manufacture
of the Product sold (or any components thereof).
(b) Within fifteen
(15) business days after the Effective Date, Insmed shall
withdraw, or cause to be withdrawn, all currently pending
applications for Marketing Authorization in the Other Territory,
including specifically its currently pending application for
Marketing Authorization with the EMEA for a Product for the
treatment of primary IGF-1 deficiency and patients with growth
hormone gene deletion.
(c) Insmed shall not
apply for or submit an application with the EMEA or any other
governmental authority within the European Union or anywhere else
in the Other Territory for Marketing Authorization of a Product for
any of the Non-Permitted Indications; provided, however, that for
any such Marketing Authorization the foregoing covenant shall
terminate upon the expiration of the last to expire Licensed
Patents (i) that exists in a country in the European Union or
the Other Territory and that covers the manufacture, use, sale,
offer for sale, or importation of such Product to be performed
under the license of the Marketing Authorization, or (ii) that
exists in a country in the Territory and that covers the process by
which such Product is manufactured in such country for subsequent
use, sale, offer for sale, or importation in the European Union or
other country in the Other Territory under the license of the
Marketing Authorization.
(d) If Insmed or its
Affiliates or Sublicensees challenge(s) the validity or
enforceability of the Licensed Patents anywhere in the Territory,
then either Tercica or GNE shall have the right to terminate the
licenses granted to Insmed under Section 3.1 of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 12.3(a)(i) below.

3.6 Non-Disparagement.
Insmed, Tercica and GNE each shall not defame, libel, slander or
otherwise disparage in any manner, or tortiously interfere with the
business, contracts, relationships or prospective economic
advantage appurtenant to: (a) the market opportunity for any
product (e.g., the size of the market for severe Primary IGFD); or
(b) any product of the other Parties.
ARTICLE 4
DEVELOPMENT AND OPT-IN
RIGHTS
4.1 Development of Product
Prior to Opt-In. Unless and until Tercica or GNE exercises its
Opt-In right under Section 4.2 below, Insmed shall have the
sole responsibility for the development of a Product for use in a
given Permitted Indication. As between the Parties to this
Agreement, Insmed shall bear all Development Costs incurred with
respect to a Product for all Permitted Indications prior to the
Opt-in Effective Date, subject to the Opt-In Party’s
reimbursement of a portion of such Development Costs pursuant to
Section 4.2(e) below.
4.2 GNE and
Tercica’s Opt-In Right for Permitted
Indications.
(a) General. Tercica
and GNE shall each have the option to co-develop a Product for any
particular Permitted Indication at any time during the period when
such Product is being developed clinically for such Permitted
Indication, until the end of the Opt-In Period for such Permitted
Indication. Such co-development right, once exercised, allows
Tercica or GNE as the Opt-In Party to fund 50% (such percentage,
the “ Percentage Interest ”) of the Development
Costs for a Product for such Permitted Indication and participate
in a corresponding 50% portion of the Operating Profit (Loss)
resulting from the commercialization of such Product for such
Permitted Indication, participate in development decision-making,
and participate in commercialization, all as and to the extent set
forth below and in Article 5 (the “ Opt-In ”).
It is understood and agreed that Insmed shall not enter into any
agreement with a Third Party to develop or commercialize a Product
for any Permitted Indication prior to the expiration of the Opt-In
Period for such Permitted Indication. It is further understood and
agreed that Tercica shall have the right to assign to Ipsen its
Opt-In rights and obligations with respect to the ROW Territory or
certain country(ies) within such ROW Territory, as well as its
Co-Promotion Option and Sole Promotion Option, on a Permitted
Indication-by-Permitted Indication basis, in which case reference
to “Tercica” as used in this Section 4.2 and in
Sections 4.3 and 4.4, and in Article 5, shall also include Ipsen.
It is also further understood and agreed that GNE shall have the
right to assign to a Third Party designee its Opt-In rights and
obligations with respect to the ROW Territory or certain
country(ies) within such ROW Territory, as well as its Co-Promotion
Option and Sole Promotion Option, on a Permitted
Indication-by-Permitted Indication basis, subject to Insmed’s
consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, in which case reference
to “GNE” as used in this Section 4.2 and in
Sections 4.3 and 4.4, and in Article 5, shall also include such
Third Party designee.
(b) Opt-In Period;
Effectiveness. Tercica’s and GNE’s Opt-In rights
shall commence, on a Permitted Indication by Permitted Indication
basis, at the commencement of the first human clinical trials of a
Product for such Permitted Indication, and shall terminate on the
earlier of: (i) exercise by Tercica or GNE of such Opt-In, or
(ii) 91 days after the Triggering
16

AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION
PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE
24b-2 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS.
Delivery for such Permitted Indication
without exercise by either GNE or Tercica of its Opt-In rights (the
“ Opt-In Period ” for such Permitted
Indication), as described in more detail in this Section 4.2.
For the avoidance of doubt, Tercica and GNE may exercise their
respective Opt-In rights at any time during the Opt-In Period in
accordance with this Section 4.2 by providing written notice
to Insmed of the same (such notice, the “ Opt-In Exercise
Notice ”). Insmed shall promptly submit a written
confirmation to the Party whose Opt-In Exercise Notice has been
received (unless otherwise properly rejected as not being properly
submitted by the potential Opt-In Party pursuant to this
Section 4.2), along with an invoice detailing the amount of
the Opt-In Payment due Insmed. Such Opt-In shall become effective
upon receipt by Insmed of such Opt-In Payment (the “Opt-In
Effective Date” ). At the Opt-In Effective Date, the
Party having submitted such Opt-In Exercise Notice shall thereupon
become an “ Opt-In Party ” and such Permitted
Indication shall become an “ Opt-In Indication
.”
(c) Opt-In Information;
Triggering Delivery. On a regular basis but no less frequently
than once per calendar quarter, Insmed shall provide to Tercica and
GNE a written progress report setting forth, for each Permitted
Indication then undergoing development and as to which the Opt-In
rights have not been exercised or lapsed: (i) a summary of all
clinical trials planned and actually conducted, as well as all
results thereof, for a Product for treatment of each such Permitted
Indication; (ii) all Opt-In Information that has not been
previously disclosed to either Tercica or GNE as of such time; and
(iii) a summary of all Development Costs incurred as of such
time with respect to such Permitted Indication. In particular, and
notwithstanding such quarterly reporting obligation, Insmed shall,
within sixty (60) days after the Completion of the first Phase
III Enabling Trial for a Product for such Permitted Indication,
deliver to Tercica and GNE all Opt-In Information relating to such
trial and any other Opt-In Information that has not been previously
disclosed to either Tercica or GNE, as well as a summary of all
Development Costs incurred as of such time with respect to such
Permitted Indication (this delivery of such Opt-in Information and
Development Cost information is the “ Triggering
Delivery ”). Tercica and GNE shall use the Opt-In
Information solely for the purpose of evaluating the Opt-In
opportunity and such Opt-In Information and shall not disclose any
non-public portion of such Opt-In Information to any Third Party
without the prior written consent of Insmed. Following delivery of
any such Opt-in Information and Development Cost information,
Insmed shall promptly supply any additional information or respond
to any questions as requested by GNE or Tercica based upon its
review of such information. Upon the expiration of the Opt-In
Period, each of GNE and Tercica shall return such Opt-In
Information to Insmed if such Party has not exercised its Opt-In
right under this Section 4.2.
(d) Opt-In Rights and
Procedures.
(i) During the Opt-In
Period, Tercica shall have the first right to exercise the Opt-In
right throughout the Territory with respect to any Orphan
Indication that is not a Diabetes Orphan Indication. In the event
Tercica does not so exercise such right within sixty (60) days
of the Triggering Delivery, it shall notify Insmed and GNE in
writing. Upon receipt of such written notice, GNE shall have an
additional period of thirty (30) days following the date of
such notice by Tercica to elect to exercise the Opt-In right with
respect to such Orphan Indication. For avoidance of doubt, this
Opt-In right shall expire upon the first to occur of the exercise
of the Opt-In Right, or ninety one (91) days after the
Triggering Delivery.

PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE
24b-2 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS.
(ii) During the Opt-In
Period, GNE shall have the first right to exercise the Opt-In right
with respect to (1) any Non-Orphan Indications throughout the
Territory and (2) any Diabetes Orphan Indication in the United
States. In the event GNE does not so exercise such right within
sixty (60) days of the Triggering Delivery, it shall notify
Insmed and Tercica in writing. Whereupon Tercica shall have an
additional period of thirty (30) days following the date of
such notice by GNE to elect to exercise the Opt-In right with
respect to such Non-Orphan Indication or such Diabetes Orphan
Indication. For avoidance of doubt, this Opt-In right shall expire
upon the first to occur of the exercise of the Opt-In Right, or
ninety one (91) days after the Triggering Delivery.
(iii) If either
Tercica or GNE provides Insmed with the Opt-In Exercise Notice
within the Opt-In Period, then Insmed shall enter into a
co-development and, where such Opt-in Party so elects under
Section 5.2, co-commercialization relationship with the Party
providing Insmed with such notice, on the terms set forth in this
Article 4 and in Article 5.
(e) Opt-In Payment;
Accounting of Development Costs. The “ Opt-In
Payment ” for a Product for a particular Permitted
Indication shall be an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of
the total Development Costs allocable to the development of such
Product for such Permitted Indication, and incurred as of the date
of receipt of the Opt-In Exercise Notice for such Permitted
Indication. Such Opt-In Payment shall be paid to Insmed in
accordance with Section 4.2(b). All Development Costs incurred
and allocable to any Permitted Indication as of the Effective Date
will be provided, in writing, on a Permitted
Indication-by-Permitted Indication basis, by Insmed to Tercica and
GNE within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date.
During the Term and prior to the expiration of the Opt-In Period,
Insmed shall be responsible for maintaining a detailed account of
all Development Costs expended for each Permitted
Indication.
4.3 Consequences of
Tercica or GNE’s Exercise of Opt-In. If Tercica or GNE
exercises the Opt-In in accordance with Section 4.2, the
following shall apply:
(a) Collaborative
Development. Insmed and the Opt-In Party shall discuss, via the
JDC, what if any operational matters in the development of a
Product for such Opt-In Indication shall be the responsibility of
the Opt-In Party.
(b) Ongoing Co-Funding of
Development Costs. The Opt-In Party shall bear fifty percent
(50%) of the total Development Costs incurred from the day
after the date of receipt of the Opt-In Exercise Notice for such
Permitted Indication and allocable to the development of a Product
for such Opt-In Indication. The process for reconciling payment of
such Development Costs in order to give effect to each Opt-In
Party’s Percentage Interest shall be in accordance with
Article 7 and Exhibit A .
(c) Decision-Making
Control. The Opt-In Party may have the deciding vote with
respect to decisions in the JDC regarding such Opt-In Indication,
as provided in Section 6.2(d)(ii).
(d) Right for GNE to
Develop and Commercialize Diabetes. In the event that GNE is
the Opt-In Party and the Opt-In Indication is a Diabetes Orphan
Indication (an “ Opt-In Diabetes Orphan Indication
”), at such time, if any, as GNE and Insmed using
their

respective scientific and business
judgment disagree over whether the continued development of a
Product for the Opt-In Diabetes Orphan Indication is desirable
(such that Insmed does not wish to continue development of such
Product for the Opt-In Diabetes Orphan Indication), GNE may elect
to take over the development of such Product for the Opt-In
Diabetes Orphan Indication at the sole expense of GNE and, upon
notice to Insmed of such election, the Permitted Indications shall
be amended to exclude such Opt-In Diabetes Orphan Indication solely
for the purposes of the rights granted to Insmed under
Section 3.1(c), provided that:
(i) for all other
purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation the
licenses granted by Insmed to GNE as the Opt-In Party under
Section 3.2(b), the Permitted Indications shall be deemed to
include such Opt-In Diabetes Orphan Indication;
(ii) GNE shall become,
if not already, the Booking Party for such Opt-In Diabetes Orphan
Indication and shall have final decision making authority in the
commercialization of such Product for such Opt-In Diabetes Orphan
Indication in the United States; and
(iii) the
profit-sharing arrangement applicable to such Opt-In Diabetes
Orphan Indication shall continue only until the payments so
received by Insmed from GNE equals the Development Costs incurred
by Insmed for such Product for such Opt-In Diabetes Orphan
Indication, and thereafter the profit share arrangement for such
Opt-In Diabetes Orphan Indication shall terminate and GNE shall pay
to Insmed royalties on the Net Sales for such Opt-In Diabetes
Orphan Indication in the United States at a rate of [***]; provided
that, such royalty payment obligation shall apply only in the event
that the use, sale, offer for sale, or importation of such Product
for use in the Opt-In Diabetes Orphan Indication would infringe the
Insmed Patents, and such royalty payment obligation shall
thereafter expire upon the later of (y) the expiration of the
last to expire Insmed Patents existing in the United States that
would be infringed by the use, sale, offer for sale, or importation
of such Product for use in such Opt-In Diabetes Orphan Indication
in the United States but for the license grant in
Section 3.2(b), and (z) the expiration of the last to
expire Insmed Patents existing in a country and that covers the
actual method of manufacture or use of such Product (or component
thereof) as practiced by Insmed in the manufacture of such Product
in such country that is subsequently sold for use in such Opt-In
Diabetes Orphan Indication in the United States.
(e) Ongoing Sharing of
Profits and Losses. As further described in Section 7.2,
Insmed and the Opt-In Party shall share Operating Profit (Loss)
with respect to a given Opt-In Indication, based on the applicable
Percentage Interest for such Opt-In Indication.
(f) Opt-In Party’s
Product Commercialization Rights for Opt-In Indication. If
either Tercica or GNE exercises the Opt-In right under this
Section 4.2, such Party shall have the right, at its
discretion, to exercise the Sole Promotion Option or the
Co-Promotion Option for the respective Opt-In Indication pursuant
to Section 5.2. In addition, following such exercise of the
Opt-In right, Insmed shall have no right to seek, negotiate or
enter into an agreement with, a Third Party partner for the
co-development and/or co-commercialization of a Product.

4.4 Opt-Out Rights. An
Opt-In Party for a particular Opt-In Indication shall have the
right to discontinue its ongoing funding obligations for such
Opt-In Indication either in total or on a region-by-region or
country-by-country basis in the Territory (the term
“region” means and includes each of the following: the
North American Territory, the EU, and Japan) for such Opt-In
Indication, for any or no reason, for a period of ten
(10) business days after the completion of an ongoing clinical
trial and the reporting of results from such clinical trial for a
Product for the treatment of such Opt-In Indication (the “
Opt-Out ”). An Opt-In Party may exercise such Opt-Out
right by providing written notice to Insmed stating the same.
Effective thirty (30) days following notice of such Opt-Out:
(a) such Party shall cease to be an Opt-In Party and the
license granted under Section 3.2(b) for such Permitted
Indication shall terminate, (b) such Party shall have no
further obligation to co-fund the ongoing Development Costs of such
Product for such Permitted Indication other than for non-cancelable
out-of-pocket costs incurred or committed to as of the effective
date of the Opt-Out for activities previously approved in
accordance herewith, (c) such Party shall have no right to
share in a portion of the Operating Profits (Loss) for such Product
for such Permitted Indication, (d) such Permitted Indication
shall cease to be an Opt-In Indication, (e) such Party shall
no longer have the Sole Promotion Option or Co-Promotion Option
with respect to such Permitted Indication, and (f) such Party
shall nor longer have any decision making control or input with
respect to the development or commercialization of such Product for
such Permitted Indication. If Insmed continues the development
and/or commercialization of such Product for such Permitted
Indication thereafter, then such Opt-In Party, after exercising its
Opt-Out right, shall receive a royalty on the Net Sales of a
Product for treatment of such Permitted Indication as further
described in Section 7.1(a)(ii). For clarity, if an Opt-In
Party exercises the Opt-Out right, it shall not have any right to a
refund or reimbursement of any payments it had made to co-fund the
Development Costs for a Product for such Permitted
Indication.
ARTICLE 5
COMMERCIALIZATION
5.1 Commercialization by
Insmed. Insmed shall have the primary right and responsibility
for commercializing a Product for a given Permitted Indication;
provided, however, that if the Opt-In Party for a particular Opt-In
Indication elects to exercise its Co-Promotion Option or Sole
Promotion Option for such Opt-In Indication, then the Parties shall
proceed as set forth in this Article 5 and the terms of the
Co-Promotion Agreement (as defined in Section 5.3) or the
terms of the Supply Agreement (as defined in Section 5.4)
shall apply to the commercialization of such Product for the
treatment of such Opt-In Indication.
5.2 Commercialization by
an Opt-In Party. Subject to the proper exercise of the Opt-In
right described in Section 4.2, Insmed hereby grants the
Opt-In Party, for the corresponding Opt-In Indication: (a) an
option to co-promote, worldwide, a Product with Insmed for the
treatment of such Opt-In Indication (the “ Co-Promotion
Option ”); and (b) an option to assume sole
responsibility for the commercialization of a Product for the
treatment of such Opt-In Indication (the “ Sole Promotion
Option ”). It is further understood and agreed that
Tercica shall have the right to assign to Ipsen such Co-Promotion
Option or Sole Promotion Option with respect to the ROW Territory
or certain country(ies) within such ROW Territory, in which case
the “Opt-In Party” as used in this Article 5 shall also
include Ipsen. It is also further understood
20
PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED
AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION
PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE
24b-2 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS.
and agreed that GNE shall have the right
to assign to a Third Party designee such Co-Promotion Option or
Sole Promotion Option with respect to the ROW Territory or certain
country(ies) within such ROW Territory, in which case the
“Opt-In Party” as used in this Article 5 shall also
include such Third Party designee.
5.3 Opt-In Party’s
Co-Promotion Option for Product for an Opt-In
Indication.
(a) Exercise of
Co-Promotion Option. The Opt-In Party may exercise the
Co-Promotion Option as to an Opt-In Indication by providing written
notice to Insmed within sixty (60) days following the
JDC’s decision (as set forth in approved minutes of the JDC)
to file the first application for Marketing Authorization for a
Product for such Opt-In Indication in a given country. It is
understood that such Co-Promotion Option shall be triggered with
respect to the North American Territory and the ROW Territory
independently, such that if, by way of example, the Opt-In Party
does not exercise its Co-Promotion Option for the North American
Territory (or part thereof), it may nonetheless exercise its
Co-Promotion Option for the ROW Territory (or part thereof),
provided such Opt-In Party has not exercised its right to Opt-Out
of co-development for any such North American Territory or ROW
Territory. If the Opt-In Party exercises the Co-Promotion Option,
the Opt-In Party shall co-promote such Product for the treatment of
such Opt-In Indication with Insmed, during the Co-Promotion Term
pursuant to the terms of a Co-Promotion Agreement, as further
described in Section 5.3(b) below. Co-promotion of Product for
the treatment of such Opt-In Indication shall be overseen and
coordinated by the JCC.
(b) Co-Promotion
Agreement. Promptly following the Opt-In Party’s exercise
of the Co-Promotion Option with respect to a particular Opt-In
Indication in a region or country, the Opt-In Party and Insmed
shall engage in good faith negotiations to prepare and execute a
definitive co-promotion agreement describing the co-promotion
activities of the Parties for promoting a Product for the treatment
of such Opt-In Indication in such region or country (the “
Co-Promotion Agreement ”). The Co-Promotion Agreement
will have the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 5 and
in the term sheet attached to this Agreement as Exhibit E ,
as well as such other terms as the Opt-In Party and Insmed may
agree. The Opt-In Party and Insmed will use reasonably diligent
efforts to execute the Co-Promotion Agreement at least twelve
(12) months prior to the anticipated receipt of Marketing
Authorization for such Product for such Opt-In Indication as
determined by the JCC (such date, the “ Launch Date
”) for the treatment of such Permitted Indication in the
relevant jurisdiction. The “ Co-Promotion Term ”
will commence upon execution of the Co-Promotion Agreement and will
extend for so long as Insmed is selling a Product or the
termination of this Agreement, whichever occurs first.
(c) Commercialization
Plan. If the Opt-In Party exercises its Co-Promotion Option
with respect to a particular Opt-In Indication, the strategy and
tactics for the commercial launch of a Product for the Opt-In
Indication shall be described in a comprehensive plan that
describes the launch and subsequent co-promotion and related
commercialization activities for such Product by the Opt-In Party
and Insmed (including advertising, education, planning, marketing,
sales force training and detail allocation) (the “
Commercialization Plan ”). The JCC shall prepare an
initial draft of the Commercialization Plan within one
(1) month after the filing of the first application for
Marketing Authorization and shall approve a final Commercialization
Plan at least six (6) months prior to the anticipated Launch
Date for such Product for the treatment of such Opt-In Indication.
The JCC shall update such Commercialization Plan as needed
thereafter, but in any event annually.

5.4 The Opt-In
Party’s Sole Promotion Option for Product for an Opt-In
Indication.
(a) Exercise of Sole
Promotion Option. The Opt-In Party may exercise the Sole
Promotion Option for each of its Opt-In Indications by providing
written notice to Insmed within sixty (60) days following the
JDC’s decision (as set forth in approved minutes of the JDC)
to file an application for Marketing Authorization for a Product
for such Opt-In Indication in a given country. It is understood
that such Sole Promotion Option shall be triggered with respect to
the North American Territory and the ROW Territory independently,
such that if, by way of example, the Opt-In Party does not exercise
its Sole Promotion Option for the North American Territory (or part
thereof), it may nonetheless exercise its Sole Promotion Option for
the ROW Territory (or part thereof), provided such Opt-In Party has
not exercised its right to Opt-Out of co-development for any such
North American Territory or ROW Territory or part thereof. If the
Opt-In Party exercises the Sole Promotion Option, the Opt-In Party
shall thereafter have the sole right to market, promote, sell, and
offer for sale such Product for the treatment of such Opt-In
Indication, in the region or country(ies) as to which such option
is exercised, including without limitation, the sole right to book
all sales of such Product for such Opt-In Indication.
(b) Supply of Product by
Insmed. Promptly following the Opt-In Party’s exercise of
the Sole Promotion Option, the Opt-In Party and Insmed shall engage
in good faith negotiations to prepare and execute a definitive
supply agreement describing terms and conditions by which Insmed
shall supply or cause to be supplied (by manufacturing itself or by
procuring from a Third Party) commercial quantities of finished,
filled, and packaged Product to the Opt-In Party for such Opt-In
Indication, at a price equal to Insmed’s Fully Burdened
Manufacturing Cost not to exceed $2,500/gram (such agreement, the
“ Supply Agreement ”). The Supply Agreement will
set forth the terms and conditions as the Opt-In Party and Insmed
may agree and as are customary in an agreement of that type,
including without limitation, any supply capacity constraints for a
Product, forecasting and ordering, inspection and rejection
provisions, and remedies in the event of supply default, including
the ability of the Opt-In Party to make or have made a Product
itself in such event. The Opt-In Party and Insmed will negotiate
and execute the Supply Agreement at least twelve (12) months
prior to the anticipated Launch Date of a Product for the treatment
of such Opt-In Indication
(c) Trademark License
. In the event Tercica and/or GNE exercises its Sole Promotion
Option with respect to a given Opt-In Indication, Insmed hereby
grants such Opt-In Party a non-exclusive, worldwide license, with
the right to grant sublicenses as provided in this
Section 5.4(c), to use the Trademark in connection with the
marketing, promotion and sale of a Product for use in the Opt-In
Indication. Any sublicense by Tercica or GNE under the rights
granted in this Section 5.4(c) to a sublicensee other than
Ipsen, or other than a distributor, subcontractor or consultant in
the normal course of business, shall be made by Tercica or GNE only
with the consent of Insmed, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. It is expressly understood that the Opt-In Party
exercising such Sole Promotion Option shall not be required to use
the Trademark in connection with the marketing or sale of a Product
for such Opt-In Indication, but shall have the right to re-brand
such Product for such Opt-In Indication under a new trademark, in
which event the Opt-In Party shall own all rights in and to such
new trademark and all associated goodwill.

5.5 Sales Tracking.
The Parties recognize that, subject to the licenses granted in
Section 3.1, and in light of the Parties’ Opt-In rights
with respect to given Permitted Indications, and Sole Promotion
Option, a Product may be sold by Insmed for use in the treatment of
one or more Permitted Indications as to which the Opt-In Party has
exercised its rights, as well as Permitted Indications as to which
no Opt-In rights have been exercised, as well as to patients on a
Named Patient Basis as provided in Section 3.1(b), and to
Existing Patients under Section 3.1(a), and may also be sold
by either GNE or Tercica in the event of exercise of its Sole
Promotion Option, for a given Opt-In Indication. In addition,
Products marketed by Insmed (or its Sublicensee) or by GNE or
Tercica (or their designee) in the future for an approved Permitted
Indication may nonetheless be prescribed for use in the treatment
of one or more indications which are other than such approved
Permitted Indication (i.e., “Off Label Sales”). Given
that different financial consideration is due and owing depending
upon which of the foregoing situations is applicable (i.e.,
royalties vs. profit sharing), and in order to detect and account
for such sales of Product in a manner most reflective of the
Parties’ intent, the Parties agree as follows:
(a) Sales Tracking
Methodology.
(i) Initial
Methodology. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after
the Effective Date, Tercica and Insmed shall meet and agree upon a
method of tracking sales of Product for use in the treatment of
each indication, in the country sold (a “ Sales Tracking
Methodology ”) including (1) the use of data from
Statements of Medical Necessity, or the acquisition of one or more
forms of prescription data (including by way of example, IMS
Xponent, NDCHealth Information Network, or Drug Distribution Data)
or other relevant pharmaceutical sales tracking research services
(including by way of example, audits of the corresponding
statements of medical necessity, use of random sampling, use of
data regarding distribution channels as a proxy for
indication-specific sales or development of mathematical models for
approximating indication-specific sales) generally recognized in
the pharmaceutical industry as having a reasonable degree of
accuracy and reliability in the tracking of sales of pharmaceutical
products that have a similar nature as, and are prescribed by
similar physicians as, a Product for the Named Patient Indications
and Permitted Indications (the “ Data Services
”), and (2) the methodology for applying any such
resulting data and information provided by such Data Services to
determine the extent of sales in each country which are
attributable to each such indication. It is expressly understood
that sales of a Product for any Non-Permitted Indications are not
anticipated except to the Existing Patients, and only for a period
not to exceed twelve (12) months from the Effective Date, and
any sales that are knowingly made to patients for use within a
Non-Permitted Indication by Insmed or its Affiliates or
Sublicensees and that are tracked to any Non-Permitted Indications
after such twelve (12) month period (or to any patients who
are other than Existing Patients within such twelve (12) month
period) will be evidence of Insmed’s breach of its covenant
in Section 3.5 and its license under
Section 3.1(a).
(ii) Modifications to
Methodology. The JCC may elect at any point to adopt a
different or modified Sales Tracking Methodology, upon request of
either Party. If the JCC fails to agree on a different Sales
Tracking Methodology proposed by either Tercica or
23
PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED
AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION
PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE
24b-2 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS.
Insmed, the Sales Tracking Methodology
then in effect shall continue to be used. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is understood and agreed by Tercica and Insmed that
each shall have the right, at its own expense, to undertake such
market research and analysis, including “probes” or
sampling of patient data, physician prescribing habits and the like
(the “ New Sales Tracking Data ”) or otherwise
propose modifications to the Sales Tracking Methodology at any time
during the Term, and to present such data or otherwise propose
modifications to the Sales Tracking Methodology to the JCC to
enhance the validity or reliability of the Sales Tracking
Methodology. It shall be the JCC’s continuing obligation to
review any such New Sales Tracking Data in good faith, with the
overriding obligation to ensure fair and accurate compensation to
the Parties (as applicable) under this Agreement by tracking as
accurately as reasonably possible, purchases of a Product for use
in specific indications. In the event that the JCC adopts a new
Sales Tracking Methodology that incorporates New Sales Tracking
Data proposed by a Party, the costs of such new Sales Tracking
Methodology shall be allocated between Tercica and Insmed as
provided in Section 5.5(c).
(b) Implementation by
Insmed. Promptly following the selection and adoption by the
JCC of the Sales Tracking Methodology (and any new Sales Tracking
Methodology as applicable), Insmed hereby agrees to implement such
Sales Tracking Methodology with respect to Insmed’s annual
worldwide sales of Product.
(c) Costs. Insmed and
Tercica shall share equally all costs incurred in implementing the
Sales Tracking Methodology until such time as GNE exercises its
first Opt-In right, in which event all such costs shall be shared
equally between Insmed, Tercica and GNE.
(d) Dispute Resolution
with Respect to Sales Tracking. Notwithstanding the dispute
resolution mechanism set forth in Article 13 below, the Parties
agree that all disputes relating to matters pertaining to sales
tracking, including without limitation the methodology(ies) to be
used or implementation thereof, shall be resolved as soon as
practicable as follows: Any Party shall bring such dispute to the
attention of the other Parties by providing the other Parties with
a written notice stating such dispute, and the Parties shall use
good faith efforts to resolve such dispute through the JCC within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice. If the JCC
cannot reach resolution on such matter during such thirty (30)-day
period, then the matter shall be referred to the Chief Commercial
Officer or equivalent (or his/her designee who has decision-making
authority) of the Parties for resolution. If such executives cannot
reach resolution on such matter within ten (10) business days,
then the Parties shall refer the matter to the Sales Tracking Panel
(as defined below) for resolution, and the Sales Tracking
Panel’s decision (which shall require the consent and
agreement of 2 of the 3 panelists) on such matter shall be final
and binding upon all Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GNE
may, at its option, recuse itself from such disputes with respect
to sales tracking at any time by providing the other Parties with
written notice stating such election. “ Sales Tracking
Panel ” shall mean a panel of three experts, each of whom
have experience in market research and intelligence gathering with
respect to pharmaceutical products (e.g., former employees of IMS),
and at least one of whom has experience in market research and drug
distribution and prescribing information collection involving
specialty pharmaceuticals. The Parties shall appoint such experts
serving on the Sales Tracking Panel within thirty (30) days
after the Effective Date through mutual agreement, and shall
maintain the number of experts on such Sales Tracking Panel during
the Term.

ARTICLE 6
GOVERNANCE
6.1 Overview. The
Parties desire to establish certain committees to facilitate the
sharing of information between the Parties and to coordinate the
development and commercialization of a Product for the treatment of
Permitted Indications (as applicable) and the implementation of the
Sales Tracking Methodology. It is understood and acknowledged by
each Party that, subject to Tercica’s and GNE’s opt-in
rights in Section 4.2, Insmed will be primarily responsible
for the development and commercialization of a Product strictly in
accordance with the licenses granted by Tercica under
Section 3.1.
6.2 Joint Development
Committee.
(a) Formation;
Composition. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective
Date, the Parties shall establish a committee to oversee
development of a Product and to serve as a forum for sharing
information regarding such development between the Parties (the
“ JDC ”). Tercica and Insmed each shall
initially appoint three (3) representatives to the JDC, and
GNE may initially appoint up to three (3) representatives to
the JDC. Following any exercise of its Opt-In rights, GNE shall
appoint or retain at least one (1) representative, but no more
than three (3) representatives, to the JDC. The JDC may change
its size from time to time by mutual consent of its members,
provided that the JDC shall include at all times an equal number of
representatives of each of Tercica, Insmed, and where GNE so
elects, of GNE. Each Party may replace its JDC representatives at
any time upon written notice to the other Party(ies). The JDC may
invite non-members to participate in the discussions and meetings
of the JDC, provided that such participants shall have no voting
authority at the JDC. The JDC will be chaired by Insmed. The
chairperson shall be responsible for administering JDC meetings,
but shall have no additional powers or rights beyond those held by
the other representatives of the JDC.
(b) Specific
Responsibilities of the JDC. In addition to its general
responsibilities, the JDC shall in particular:
(i) prior to an Opt-In
Party’s exercise of the Opt-In in accordance with
Section 4.2 and throughout the Opt-In Period, facilitate the
flow of information from Insmed to Tercica and GNE with respect to
the development of, and obtaining Marketing Authorization for, a
Product for the treatment of any Permitted Indications;
(ii) prior to an
Opt-In Party’s exercise of the Opt-In in accordance with
Section 4.2 and throughout the Opt-In Period, determine, prior
to the conduct of such trial, whether a proposed clinical trial for
a Product satisfies the criteria of a Phase III Enabling Trial for
the applicable Opt-In Indication; and
(iii) following an
Opt-In Party’s exercise of the Opt-In in accordance with
Section 4.2 for a particular Permitted Indication, coordinate
and oversee the Parties’ development of a Product for the
treatment of the applicable Opt-In Indication.
(c) Meetings. The JDC
shall meet at least once per calendar quarter after the Effective
Date unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to a different
frequency. The JDC

may meet in person, by videoconference,
or by teleconference. The location of in-person JDC meetings will
be held at locations alternately selected by Tercica, Insmed, and
GNE. Each Party shall report to the JDC on all material issues
relating to the development of a Product promptly after such issues
arise. Each Party will bear the expense of its respective JDC
members’ participation in JDC meetings. Meetings of the JDC
shall be effective only if at least one representative of each
Party having incumbent member(s) of the JDC is present or
participating in such meeting. The chairperson of the JDC shall be
responsible for keeping reasonably detailed written minutes of all
JDC meetings that reflect, without limitation, material decisions
made at such meetings. Meeting minutes will be sent to each member
of the JDC for review and approval within ten (10) business
days after a meeting.
(d) Decision-Making.
The JDC shall act by consensus. The representatives from each Party
will have, collectively, one (1) vote on behalf of that Party.
If the JDC cannot reach consensus on any issue that comes before
the JDC, then:
(i) prior to
Tercica’s or GNE’s exercise of the Opt-In in accordance
with Section 4.2, Insmed shall have the deciding vote for all
issues to be determined by the JDC; and
(ii) following the
date when an Opt-In Party exercises its Opt-In rights, such Opt-In
Party would have the deciding vote on all matters related to the
Opt-In Indication before the JDC.
It is expressly understood and agreed
that the control of decision-making authority by a Party so as to
resolve a disagreement or deadlock at the JDC for any matter will
not relieve such Party from any of its representations, warranties,
or covenants in this Agreement, nor will it enable such Party to
unilaterally modify or amend the terms of this
Agreement.
6.3 Joint
Commercialization Committee.
(a) Formation;
Composition. Promptly following the Effective Date but in no
event later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date,
the Parties shall form a committee to, in the first instance agree
upon and approve the Sales Tracking Methodology, and, following
exercise by an Opt-In Party of its Co-Promotion Option or Sole
Promotion Option, coordinate and oversee the Parties’
respective commercialization activities with respect to a Product
for the treatment of any Permitted Indications (the “
JCC ”). Tercica and Insmed each shall initially
appoint two (2) representatives to the JCC, and GNE may
initially appoint up to two (2) representatives to the JCC.
Following any exercise of its Opt-In rights, GNE shall appoint at
least one (1), but no more than two (2), representatives to JCC.
The JCC may change its size from time to time by mutual consent of
its members, provided that the JCC shall include at all times of an
equal number of representatives of each of Tercica, Insmed, and
where GNE so elects, of GNE. Each Party may replace its JCC
representatives at any time upon written notice to the other
Party(ies). The JCC may invite non-members to participate in the
discussions and meetings of the JCC, provided that such
participants shall have no voting authority at the JCC. The JCC
will be chaired initially by Insmed. The chairperson shall be
responsible for administering JCC meetings, but shall have no
additional powers or rights beyond those held by the other
representatives on the JCC.

(b) Meetings. The JCC
shall meet at least twice per year after its formation pursuant to
Section 6.3(a) unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to
a different frequency. The JCC may meet in person, by
videoconference, or by teleconference. The location of in-person
JCC meetings will be held at locations alternately selected by
Tercica, Insmed and GNE. Meetings of the JCC shall be effective
only if at least one representative of each Party is present or
participating in such meeting. Each Party shall report to the JCC
on all material issues relating to the commercialization of
Products promptly after such issues arise. Each Party will bear the
expense of its respective JCC members’ participation in JCC
meetings. The chairperson will be responsible for preparing

without limitation, material decisions made at such meetings. Such
meeting minutes will be sent to each member of the JCC for review
and approval within ten (10) business days after a
meeting.
(c) Decision-Making.
The JCC shall act by consensus. The representatives from each Party
will have, collectively, one (1) vote on behalf of that Party.
If the JCC cannot reach consensus on any issue that comes before
the JCC, then:
(i) prior to the date
when, and if, an Opt-In Party exercises its Sole Promotion Rights
with respect to a particular Opt-In Indication pursuant to
Section 5.4, and other than with respect to Sales Tracking
Methodology matters, Insmed shall have the deciding vote for all
issues to be determined by the JCC; and
(ii) following the
date when an Opt-In Party exercises its Sole Promotion Rights with
respect to a particular Opt-In Indication pursuant to
Section 5.4, such Opt-In Party shall have the deciding vote
for all issues to be determined by the JCC with respect to the
commercialization of a Product for such Opt-In
Indication.
It is expressly understood and agreed
that the control of decision-making authority by a Party so as to
resolve a disagreement or deadlock at the JCC for any matter will
not relieve such Party from any of its representations, warranties,
or covenants in this Agreement, nor will it enable such Party to
unilaterally modify or amend the terms of this
Agreement.
6.4 General Committee
Authority. Each Committee shall have solely the powers assigned
to it in this Article 6 and elsewhere in this Agreement. No
Committee shall have any power to amend, modify, or waive
compliance with this Agreement.
6.5 Discontinuation of
Participation on a Committee. Each Committee shall continue to
exist until the first to occur of (a) the Parties mutually
agreeing to disband the Committee, or (b) Tercica providing to
Insmed written notice of its intention to disband and no longer
participate in such Committee. In any event, at any time Tercica
and/or GNE may terminate its participation on any Committee, on
thirty (30) days’ written notice. Unless the Parties
agree otherwise in writing at the time, upon dissolution of a
Committee, such Committee’s powers and duties shall
automatically be assumed by Insmed; provided, however, the Opt-In
Party’s approval shall be required for any decisions made by
Insmed after the dissolution of a Committee, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
