the
Contract Manufacturer (if applicable), and upon Amgen's
reasonable
request, any other information that would be helpful to Amgen

Covenantor has
the
right to sue infringers, solely to the extent InterMune, its
Affiliates, its assignees and/or its Authorized Sublicensees are
performing
Allowed Activities. The covenant in this Section 4 is expressly
subject to
InterMune's and its Affiliates', assignees' and/or sublicensees'
continuous
compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment
and the
Agreement.
