USE OF LIBRARY
COMPOUNDS
Section 2.1 DRUG DISCOVERY
PROGRAMS .
2.1.1 Amgen shall use reasonable efforts consistent
with standards in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries
to maintain a reliable record relating to the existence of each
Drug Discovery Program, including notations as to when particular
[**] were designed, discovered or synthesized by Amgen in the
course of a Drug Discovery Program. With respect to each [**],
which Amgen determines to be a Hit during the Combined Term, Amgen
shall analyze, unless it had previously done so, whether the [**]
is derived is a Hit against the same Amgen Target. In the event
that Infinity reasonably has reason to believe that any
pharmaceutical compound sold or offered for sale by or on behalf of
Amgen is [**], Infinity may request from time to time on a
reasonable basis, and Amgen shall provide, (a) [**], and
(b) [**]. In the event that the Parties dispute whether [**],
either Party may seek the resolution of such dispute in accordance
with Section 9.2.
2.1.2 Amgen shall notify Infinity of the existence of
each Drug Discovery Program, by providing to Infinity (a) a
coded identifier for the Library Compound(s) that achieved the
status of Hit and (b) a coded identifier for the Amgen
Target(s) against which such Library Compound(s) was confirmed to
be a Hit.
2.1.3 Amgen shall be responsible for performing all
biological assays it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in
its Drug Discovery Program(s) (if any), and Infinity shall have no
responsibility for performing any biological assays.
Section 2.2 DESTRUCTION OF UNUSED
QUANTITIES OF LIBRARY COMPOUNDS .
(a) At the end of the Combined Term,
(i) Amgen shall destroy all unused quantities of
Library Compounds except for unused quantities of Library Compounds
confirmed by Amgen to be Hits during the Combined Term;
9
(ii) Amgen shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to destroy all Library Compound Information, including all smile
string information, in its possession, except for (A) [**]
archival copies of all written materials delivered to Amgen by
Infinity (whether in electronic or hard-copy form) retained by
Amgen for the purposes of managing Patent Prosecution and its
non-use obligations (including avoiding claiming Library Compounds
in patent applications to the extent required by
Section 5.1.3(c)) under this Agreement and (B) Library
Compound Information recorded in Amgen laboratory notebooks or
other business records maintained in the ordinary course of
Amgen’s business and (C) Library Compound Information
relating to Library Compounds confirmed by Amgen as Hits during the
Combined Term for uses licensed under Article 3 of this Agreement.
Amgen shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate its
use of all Library Compound Information in its possession (except
to the extent permitted in clauses (A) and (C)). Amgen shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to notify relevant employees
and agents of its non-use obligations hereunder.
(b) At the end of the Exclusivity Option
Term,
(i) Amgen shall destroy all unused quantities of
Library Compounds confirmed by Amgen to be Hits during the Combined
Term, except for unused quantities of (A) Exclusive Library
Compounds and potential Back-Up Library Compounds related thereto,
and (B) [**] that are the subject of a [**], provided
that upon termination of such [**], Amgen shall destroy unused
quantities of such Library Compounds; and
(ii) Amgen shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to destroy all Library Compound Information, including all smile
string information, in its possession relating to Library Compounds
confirmed by Amgen as Hits during the Combined Term except for
(A) [**] archival copies of all written materials delivered to
Amgen by Infinity (whether in electronic or hard-copy form)
retained by Amgen for the purposes of managing Patent Prosecution
and its other non-use obligations (including avoiding claiming
Library Compounds in patent applications to the extent required by
Section 5.1.3(c)) under this Agreement and (B) Library
Compound Information recorded in Amgen laboratory notebooks or
other business records maintained in the ordinary course of
Amgen’s business, and (C) Library Compound Information
relating to Exclusive Library Compounds for uses licensed under
Article 3 of this Agreement and potential Back-Up Library Compounds
related thereto and (D) Library Compound Information relating
to [**] for uses licensed under Article 3 of this Agreement,
provided that upon termination of any such Drug Discovery
Program (other than as a result of commercialization of a
Royalty-Bearing Product relating thereto) Amgen shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to destroy such Library Compound
Information. Amgen shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
terminate use of all Library Compound Information in its possession
(except to the extent permitted in clauses (A), (C) and (D)).
Amgen shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify relevant
employees and agents of its non-use obligations
hereunder.
2.2.2 At all times during and after the end of the
Combined Term, Amgen shall have the continuing right to retain and
use all Exclusive Library Compound Information and Amgen Analog
Information (to the extent permitted by the other provisions of
this Agreement), provided that this provision is not
intended to act as the grant of rights under any valid and
enforceable Infinity Patent Rights.
10
2.2.3 For so long as Amgen has physical access to
Library Compounds, the identity of such compounds will be
determined by the molecular formula and molecular structure
described in the Library Compound Structure Information,
provided that the structure of each Library Compound shall
be deemed to be the structure identified to Amgen in the Library
Compound Information provided by Infinity to Amgen under the Prior
Agreement except to the extent that Amgen has actual knowledge that
the compound(s) in a given well have a different structure and
Amgen actually knows that structure. At the end of the period in
which Amgen has physical access to Library Compounds, the Library
Compound Information provided by Infinity to Amgen under the Prior
Agreement will be deemed to be conclusive for purposes of
determining the Parties’ rights and obligations under this
Agreement; provided that , any more accurate structural
information actually known by Amgen during the period in which
Amgen has physical access to the Library Compounds will be used to
identify such compounds at the end of such period.
2.2.4 The provisions of Exhibit A shall apply
with respect to the Synthetic Methodology and Pathways information
and the Library Compound Structure Information.
ARTICLE 3

desires to exercise the Library Compound Exclusivity Option with
respect to a Library Compound, Amgen shall give Infinity written
notice of such desire prior to the end of the Exclusivity Option
Term, which notice shall specify the Library Compound with respect
to which Amgen desires to exercise the Library Compound Exclusivity
Option.

conditions described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the
immediately preceding sentence exist, then Amgen shall not be
permitted to exercise the Library Compound Exclusivity Option with
respect to such Library Compound; provided that if the
condition(s) that make such Library Compound unavailable later
cease to exist at any time within five (5) years after the end
of the Exclusivity Option Term, Infinity shall promptly notify
Amgen in writing of such cessation and Amgen shall thereupon have
