The Research Plan shall be updated annually as set forth in
Section 2.1(a); provided , that , without the
prior written consent of MICL and subject to the last two

for such calendar year, except to the extent that Infinity funds
any such additional amount itself or such amount is funded by a
party other than Infinity pursuant to the FUSA Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Infinity may reallocate Research and
Development Expenses between and among Discovery Projects and

aggregate amount of Research and Development Expenses in any
calendar year shall not exceed the budget amount set forth in the
Research Plan for such year, except to the extent that Infinity

a party other than Infinity pursuant to the FUSA Agreement, and
provided further that Infinity shall not be permitted to reallocate
Research and Development Expenses between, among or to any Opt-Out
Product, Assumed Product, Assumed In-Licensed Product, Terminated

November 30 of such year, elect to extend the Funded Discovery
Period for an additional one-year period.
(i) If MICL elects to so extend the

extended (i.e., through December 31, 2012, if extended on or
before November 30, 2010, or through December 31, 2013,
if extended on or before November 30, 2011) and such updated
Research Plan shall apply.

Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize MICL Assumed Products and
MICL Assumed In-Licensed Products in the applicable MICL
Territory.
(c) Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, in the event MICL assumes
responsibility for the Development, Manufacturing and

Section 2.8, Infinity, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates,
hereby grants to MICL during the Term an exclusive, sublicenseable
(in accordance with and subject to the provisions of
Section 4.2) license or sublicense, as applicable, under the

Parties.
(b) In the event that MICL desires
to commence negotiations with any Third Party (other than Service
Providers) to license and/or sublicense all or a portion of
MICL’s Program Rights with respect to a Product, MICL shall
promptly notify Infinity of its intent to enter into such a
transaction, identifying the specific Program Rights that will be
the subject of such transaction. Within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notification, Infinity shall notify MICL in writing
either that (i) Infinity is interested in negotiating an
agreement with respect to such Program Rights or (ii) Infinity

by Infinity to give written notice of its
interest or lack of interest in negotiating for such agreement
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from
MICL as described in the first sentence of this Section 4.2(b)

first negotiation with respect to such Program Rights. In addition,
failure of the Parties to execute a written agreement with respect
to such Program Rights within such sixty (60) day negotiation
period (or such longer period as agreed between the Parties) shall
result in the termination of such right of first negotiation with
respect to such Program Rights. If Infinity waives its right of
first negotiation with respect to such Program Rights or, following
Infinity’s exercise of its right of first negotiation with
respect to such Program Rights, the Parties fail to enter into a
written agreement with respect thereto during the negotiation
period set forth in this Section 4.2(b), then MICL shall,
subject to Section 4.2(c), be free to enter into a transaction
for such Program Rights with a Third Party.

with a copy of any license or sublicense agreement within five
(5) Business Days after execution thereof. Each license or
sublicense of MICL’s Program Rights granted by MICL shall be

intellectual property right owned or controlled by MICL or its
Affiliates in connection with the (a) Development or
Manufacture of Products, Opt-Out Products, Infinity Assumed

In-Licensed Products anywhere in the world, or

In-Licensed Products and Terminated In-Licensed Products, Infinity
shall notify MICL thereof and MICL shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to, consider such request in good faith at MICL’s
commercially reasonable discretion.

Infinity . Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, MICL, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby
