the computation of Net Sales except where such Affiliates or sublicensees are
end users, but Net Sales shall include the subsequent final sales to Third
Parties by such Affiliates or sublicensees.

If a Product is sold as part of a Combination Product (as defined below), Net
Sales will be the product of (i) Net Sales of the Combination Product calculated
as above (i.e., calculated as for a non-Combination Product) and (ii) the
fraction (A/(A+B)), where:

"A" is the average wholesale acquisition cost of the Product comprising
Ronacaleret as the sole therapeutically active ingredient during the four (4)
most recently completed Calendar Quarters during which such non-Combination
Products were sold in such country; and

"B" is the average wholesale acquisition cost in such country of the other
therapeutically active ingredients contained in the Combination Product when
sold separately during the four (4) most recently completed Calendar Quarters
during which such products were sold in such country.

If "A" or "B" cannot be determined by reference to non-Combination Product sales
as described above, then Net Sales for purposes of determining royalty payments
will be calculated as above, but the average wholesale acquisition cost in the
above equation shall be determined by GSK prior to the end of the accounting
period in question based on an equitable method of determining same that takes
into account, in the applicable country, variations in dosage units and the
relative fair market value of each therapeutically active ingredient in the
Combination Product.

As used in this Section 1.30, "Combination Product" means a Product that
contains one or more additional active ingredients (whether co-formulated or
co-packaged) that are neither Ronacaleret nor generic or other non-proprietary
compositions-of-matter. Pharmaceutical dosage form vehicles, adjuvants and
excipients shall be deemed not to be "active ingredients".

To the extent the Net Sales definition is used herein with respect to an NPS
Compound Product or [*] Product, Net Sales shall have the meaning set forth
above, with all references to "GSK" replaced by "NPS", all references to
"Product" replaced with "NPS Compound Product" or "[*] Product", as applicable.

"Ronacaleret Patents" may disclose, describe or claim either Existing Compounds
or Transferred Compounds in addition to Ronacaleret. The Ronacaleret Patents in
existence as of the Effective Date are set forth on Schedule 1.64. For the
avoidance of doubt, and by way of example only, if as of the Effective Date, a
Patent discloses, but does not claim Ronacaleret generically or specifically,
then such Patent is not a Ronacaleret Patent; provided, that if during the Term
of this Agreement, such Patent issues or is otherwise modified in a manner that
results in the claiming of Ronacaleret, then such Patent thereafter shall be
deemed a Ronacaleret Patent for all purposes of this Agreement.

Compound and/or Existing Compound, that are owned or Controlled by GSK or
jointly by GSK and NPS as of the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt,
Transferred Compound Patents do not include Patents that, as of the Effective
Date or during the Term of this Agreement, claim Ronacaleret generically or
specifically, and therefore, Transferred Compound Patents do not include
Ronacaleret Patents. The Transferred Compound Patents are set forth on Schedule
1.74. For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example only, if as of the
Effective Date, a Patent discloses, but does not claim, Ronacaleret generically

then such Patent is a Transferred Compound Patent; provided, that if during the
Term of this Agreement, such Patent issues or is otherwise modified in a manner
that results in the claiming of Ronacaleret, then such Patent thereafter shall
be deemed a Ronacaleret Patent for all purposes of this Agreement.

Sales of the Product, at the royalty rates set forth in the table below:

Worldwide Annual Net Sales

Royalty Rate

Net Sales up to and including [*]

[*]%

Net Sales in excess of [*]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For illustrative purposes only, if worldwide annual Net Sales of a Product were
$[*], the royalties payable with respect to such annual Net Sales, subject to
adjustment as set forth in this Section 5.2 below and Section 6.2, would be [*].
GSK's royalty obligations to NPS under this Section 5.2(a) in each country shall
commence on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis on the date of
First Commercial Sale of the Product by GSK, its Affiliates or sublicensees to a
Third Party in the relevant country, and shall expire on a country-by-country
and Product-by-Product basis upon the later of the following: (i) the expiration
or invalidation of the last remaining NPS Licensed Ronacaleret Patent in such
country which claims the composition of matter or method of using Ronacaleret or
the Product or (ii) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of
such Product in such country by GSK, its Affiliates or sublicensees (the "GSK
Royalty Term").

The foregoing provisions of Section 5.2(a) notwithstanding, the royalties
payable with respect to Net Sales of a Product shall be reduced, on a
country-by-country basis, to [*] of Net Sales during any portion of the GSK
Royalty Term when (i) all NPS Licensed Ronacaleret Patents in such country that
claim the composition of matter or method of using Ronacaleret or the Product
have lapsed, been abandoned or held invalid or unenforceable by a decision of a
court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is or can be
taken; and (b) substantial competition exists in such country. "Substantial
competition", as used in this Section 5.2(b), means a composition of matter that
either is the same chemical entity or has the same mechanism of action as
Ronacaleret, and the period of substantial competition shall be applied
retroactively to the date of first commercial sale of such substantial
competition in such country, and shall continue only for so long as such
commercialization continues.

Royalties on Net Sales of the Product for veterinary use, diagnostic use or any
other use other than a human ethical pharmaceutical use shall be calculated
separately at [*] of the royalty rates set forth in Sections 5.2(a) or 5.2(b),
as applicable.

5.3   Records. GSK shall keep, and require its Affiliates and sublicensees to
keep, complete and accurate records of all sales of Products for a period of
three (3) years after the relevant payment is owed to NPS pursuant to Section
5.2(a) or (b). Upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice, NPS shall have the
right to examine such records during regular business hours using a certified
public accountant or like person reasonably acceptable to GSK. Such examination
shall not be performed more frequently than once in any twelve (12)-month
period, and shall be conducted under appropriate confidentiality provisions, for
the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy and completeness of all financial,
accounting and numerical information and calculations provided under this
Agreement with respect to royalties paid under Section 5.2 and reports provided
under Section 5.4. The certified public accountant shall have the right to make
copies of relevant portions of GSK's books and records; provided, that any such
copies shall be the Confidential Information of GSK, shall be protected by
appropriate confidentiality obligations and shall not be shared with NPS or any
Third Party. The sole deliverable to NPS shall be a copy of the accounting
firm's final report, which also shall be provided to GSK at the same time. Such
examination is to be made at the expense of NPS, except if the results of the

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

audit reveal an underpayment of royalties under this Agreement of five percent
(5%) or more in any calendar year, in which case reasonable audit fees for such
examination shall be paid by GSK. Any underpayment determined by such audit
shall be paid promptly to NPS.

5.4   Reports. Until the expiration of all applicable Royalty Terms in all
countries, GSK shall make written reports to NPS within [*] days after the end
of each calendar quarter, setting forth Net Sales on a country-by-country and
Product-by-Product basis and the royalties due to NPS by GSK during the
preceding calendar quarter. Concurrent with the delivery of each such report,
GSK shall make the royalty payment due to NPS as set forth in the report.

5.5   Payment Terms.

All royalties due under this Agreement shall be payable in U.S. dollars. If
governmental regulations prevent remittances from a country to any other country
with respect to sales made in that country, the obligation of GSK to pay
royalties on sales in that country shall be suspended until such remittances are
possible, and once they are possible, GSK shall pay NPS any back royalties which
may be owed. Alternatively, NPS shall have the right, upon giving written notice
to GSK, to receive payment in that country in local currency.

With respect to sales of the Product invoiced in Dollars, the Net Sales and the
amounts due hereunder will be expressed in Dollars. With respect to Net Sales
invoiced in a currency other than Dollars, the Net Sales and amounts due
hereunder will be reported in Dollars, calculated using the standard
methodologies employed by GSK for consolidation purposes. As of the Effective
Date, the method utilized by GSK's group reporting system uses spot exchange
rates sourced from Reuters/Bloomberg.

5.6   Taxes. Any tax paid or required to be withheld by GSK on account of
royalties payable to NPS under this Agreement shall be deducted from the amount
of royalties otherwise due. GSK shall secure and send to NPS written proof of
any such taxes withheld and paid by GSK, its Affiliates or its sublicensees for
the benefit of NPS in a form sufficient to satisfy the United States Internal
Revenue Service.

5.6   Royalty Payments by NPS. As consideration for the assignment of
Transferred Compound Patents related to Existing Compounds to NPS under Section
2.2 of this Agreement, NPS shall pay GSK a royalty rate of [*] on worldwide
annual Net Sales of any pharmaceutical product comprising an Existing Compound,
whether or not as the sole active ingredient and in any dosage form or
formulation ("NPS Compound Product"). NPS' royalty obligations under this
Section 5.7 shall commence on a country-by-country and NPS Compound
Product-by-NPS Compound Product basis on the date of First Commercial Sale of
the NPS Compound Product by NPS, its Affiliates or sublicensees to a Third Party
in the relevant country, and shall expire on a country-by-country and NPS
Compound Product-by-NPS Compound Product basis upon the later of the following:
(i) the expiration or invalidation of the last remaining Transferred Compound
Patent in such country which claims the composition of matter or method of using
the Existing Compound or the NPS Compound Product or (ii) the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of such NPS Compound Product in such
country by NPS, its Affiliates or sublicensees (the "NPS Compound Product
Royalty Term"). The terms of Sections 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 would apply mutatis
mutandis to the payment of royalties to GSK under this Section 5.7.

16

6.   COMPULSORY LICENSES AND THIRD PARTY LICENSES

.

6.1   Compulsory Licenses. In the event that a governmental agency in any
country or territory grants or compels NPS to grant a license to the NPS
Licensed Ronacaleret Patents to any Third Party to make, have made, use or sell
Ronacaleret, GSK shall have the benefit in such country or territory of the
terms granted to such Third Party to the extent that such terms are more
favorable to the Third Party than those of this Agreement.

6.1   Third Party Licenses. If, during the Term, GSK's Average Gross Margin on
Net Sales of the Product during a particular calendar year falls below [*] in a
particular country as a result of royalty payments made by GSK to Third Parties
on such Net Sales for license rights to Patents or Data owned or Controlled by
such Third Parties that are necessary for the manufacture, use, offer for sale,
sale or importation of such Product in such country, then GSK's royalty
obligations under Section 5.2(a) shall be reduced by the amount required to
raise GSK's Average Gross Margin to [*]; provided that the reduction shall not
be greater than (x) [*] of the total royalty payable by GSK to such Third
Parties or (y) [*] of the royalty payable by GSK to NPS on such Net Sales in
such country under Section 5.2(a). "Average Gross Margin" means Net Sales during
a calendar year minus Cost of Goods Sold attributable to the Product sold, minus
all royalties payable by GSK to NPS and all Third Parties on such Net Sales.

8.   TERM AND TERMINATION

.

8.1   Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and,
unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 8, shall remain in effect
until it expires (the "Term") as follows:

On a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, this Agreement shall
expire on the date of the expiration of all applicable GSK Royalty Terms with
respect to such Product in such country; and

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Agreement shall expire in its entirety upon the expiration of all
applicable GSK Royalty Terms under this Agreement with respect to all Products
in all countries in the Territory.

Upon expiration of the Term, GSK shall have a fully paid-up, non-exclusive,
perpetual license to use the applicable NPS Licensed Ronacaleret Patents and
Ronacaleret Know-How to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import
Ronacaleret and Products in the GSK Field. To the extent that any [*] Product
Royalty Term or NPS Compound Product Royalty Term survives expiration of the
Term, NPS shall be obligated to continue to pay royalties to GSK for the
remainder of the applicable [*] Product Royalty Term or NPS Compound Product
Royalty Term.

8.2   Termination for Default. Either Party (the "Non- Breaching Party") may,
without prejudice to any other remedies available to it under Applicable Law or
in equity, terminate this Agreement if the other Party (the "Breaching Party")
shall have materially breached or defaulted in the performance of its
obligations hereunder, and such default shall have continued for sixty (60) days
after written notice thereof was provided to the Breaching Party by the
Non-Breaching Party, such notice describing the alleged breach. Any such
termination of this Agreement shall become effective at the end of such sixty
(60) day cure period, unless:

the Breaching Party has cured such breach or default prior to the expiration of
such cure period; or

such breach is not susceptible to cure within such cure period even with the use
of Commercially Reasonable Efforts, in which event the Non-Breaching Party's
right to termination shall be suspended only if and for so long as (i) the
Breaching Party has provided to the Non-Breaching Party a written plan that is
reasonably calculated to effect a cure, (ii) such plan is reasonably acceptable
to the Non-Breaching Party, and (iii) the Breaching Party commits to and does
carry out such plan.

Where the Non-breaching Party has accepted any such plan in accordance with the
preceding sentence, the Non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement
immediately upon written notice to the Breaching Party if the Breaching Party
subsequently fails to carry out such plan.

8.3   Country Specific Termination. GSK may terminate this Agreement with
respect to any country or all countries by giving NPS at least thirty (30) days
written notice thereof (the "Country Termination Notice") based on a reasonable
determination by GSK, using the same standards GSK would use in assessing
whether or not to continue Development or commercialization of a product solely
and exclusively owned by it, that the patent, medical/scientific, technical,
regulatory or commercial profile of Ronacaleret does not justify continued
Development or commercialization of Ronacaleret in such country or countries;
provided, that NPS may delay the effective date of such termination for up to
six (6) months (the "Delay Period") in any country in which GSK, its Affiliates
or sublicensees are commercializing Ronacaleret on the date on which GSK
provides the Country Termination Notice if, within sixty (60) days of NPS'
receipt of the Country Termination Notice, NPS (a) gives written notice to GSK
that NPS intends to continue the commercialization of Ronacaleret on its own or
through Third Party sublicensees, in accordance with a reasonable marketing plan
provided to GSK with

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such notice and (b) during the Delay Period, NPS uses Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to implement such plan. If NPS uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
implement such marketing plan during the Delay Period, then GSK hereby grants to
NPS an exclusive license to Ronacaleret Patents and Ronacaleret Know-How owned
or Controlled by GSK to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell and import
Ronacaleret in the GSK Field in such terminated countries as described in this
Section 8.3. Termination of this Agreement with respect to any country under
this Section 8.3 shall terminate all licenses granted to GSK in such country

Termination by GSK of this Agreement with respect to any countries or all
countries under this Section 8.3 shall not affect the license granted to NPS by
GSK in accordance with Section 3.2 which shall remain in effect after any such
termination, subject to all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement.

file in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state
or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for
an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Party or
of its assets, or if such Party proposes a written agreement of composition or
extension of its debts, or is served with an involuntary petition against it,
filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition is not dismissed within
sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or if such Party shall propose or be a
party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if such Party shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors.

Notwithstanding the bankruptcy of NPS, or the impairment of performance by NPS
of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of bankruptcy or insolvency
of NPS, GSK shall be entitled to retain the licenses granted herein, subject to
NPS' rights to terminate this Agreement for reasons other than bankruptcy or
insolvency as expressly provided in this Agreement, and subject to performance
by GSK of its preexisting obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
bankruptcy of GSK, or the impairment of performance by GSK of its obligations
under this Agreement as a result of bankruptcy or insolvency of GSK, NPS shall
be entitled to retain the licenses granted herein, subject to GSK's rights to
terminate this Agreement for reasons other than bankruptcy or insolvency as
expressly provided in this Agreement, and subject to performance by NPS of its

of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to
"intellectual property" as defined under Section 101(35A) of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. The Parties agree that each Party, as a licensee of such rights under this
Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections
under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or any other provisions of Applicable Law
outside the United States that provide similar protection for intellectual
property rights, subject to performance by the licensee of its preexisting
obligations under this Agreement. The Parties further agree that, in the event
that any proceeding shall be instituted by or against licensor under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking
liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection,
relief or composition of it or its

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or
relief of debtors, or seeking an entry of an order for relief or the appointment
of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or any substantial part
of its property or it shall take any action to authorize any of the foregoing
actions (each a "Proceeding"), the licensee shall have the right to retain and
enforce its rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the
following rights:

not in Development or under commercialization by GSK, its Affiliates or
sublicensees for a period of [*]. Upon receipt of such written notice, GSK will
have forty-five (45) days from the receipt of such notice to verify to NPS that
it either (i) is [*] Ronacaleret, (ii) has Ronacaleret [*] or (iii) intends to
have Ronacaleret enter [*]. If GSK reasonably demonstrates such intent to the
reasonable satisfaction of NPS, there shall be no such termination.

10.   CONFIDENTIALITY

.

10.1   Definition of Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means
any and all proprietary information furnished or made available to one Party
(the "Receiving Party") by the other Party (the "Disclosing Party") relating to
the Disclosing Party's current or future business, or any other proprietary
information of the Disclosing Party whether in written, oral, electronic or
other form. For purposes of clarification, all data, information and know-how

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

contained in any Transferred Assets shall be deemed to be Confidential
Information of NPS, and all Confidential Information exchanged during the term
of the Original Agreement shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of
this Article 10. In addition, the terms and conditions of this Agreement are
hereby deemed to be Confidential Information of both Parties.

10.2   Obligations of Nonuse and Nondisclosure. The Receiving Party (a) shall
hold the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information in strict confidence, (b)
shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party and shall
employ reasonable practices and procedures necessary to prevent such disclosure,
which steps shall include at least those taken by the Receiving Party to protect
its own confidential information of like kind, and (c) shall not use such
Confidential Information unless the Disclosing Party has agreed otherwise in
writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose the
Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to the Receiving Party's Affiliates,
employees, licensees, agents, advisors, financing sources, potential acquirors,
sublicensees or distributors (collectively "Responsible Persons") who have a
bona fide need to know, but only to the extent reasonably necessary to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or to perform due diligence on the
Receiving Party. The Receiving Party (i) will inform all Responsible Persons in
writing that such Confidential Information is confidential and is not to be
disclosed to Third Parties, (ii) will obligate all Responsible Persons in
writing to abide by the nondisclosure and nonuse obligations of this Agreement,
and (iii) will be responsible for any noncompliance by Responsible Persons.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 10.3, these obligations of
nonuse and nondisclosure shall not be breached by disclosures that are required
for purposes of investigating, developing, manufacturing or marketing an
Existing Compound, Transferred Compound or Ronacaleret, or for securing
essential or desirable authorizations, privileges or rights from governmental
agencies with respect to Existing Compounds, Transferred Compounds or
Ronacaleret, or that are necessary to file or prosecute patent applications
concerning Existing Compounds, Transferred Compounds or Ronacaleret, or to carry
out litigation concerning Existing Compounds, Transferred Compounds or
Ronacaleret. Further, nothing in this Section 10.2 shall be construed as
preventing or in any way inhibiting GSK or NPS from complying with statutory and
regulatory requirements governing the Development, manufacture, use and sale or
other distribution of an Existing Compound, Transferred Compound or Ronacaleret
in any manner which it reasonably deems appropriate.

10.3  

Exclusions from Confidential Information. The obligations of nondisclosure and
nonuse in Section 10.2 shall not apply to any part of the Confidential
Information which the Receiving Party can show by clear and convincing evidence
using written documents (a) was already known to the Receiving Party before
receiving such information from the Disclosing Party, (b) is or becomes known to
the public or generally available to the public through no fault of the
Receiving Party, (c) is rightfully furnished to the Receiving Party by a Third
Party who has not received such Confidential Information, directly or
indirectly, from the Disclosing Party or any other party under an obligation of
nondisclosure or nonuse, or (d) is independently developed by or for the
Receiving Party without use of Confidential Information received from the
Disclosing Party.

10.4   Judicial Order. The obligation of nondisclosure in this Agreement shall
not be breached by disclosure required in a judicial proceeding or governmental
investigation, provided

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior written notice of such
requirement and affords the Disclosing Party an opportunity to oppose such
disclosure or seek a protective order.

10.5   Public Announcement. No public announcement or other disclosure to Third
Parties concerning the existence of or terms of this Agreement shall be made,
either directly or indirectly, by any Party to this Agreement, except as may be
legally required or as may be required for recording purposes, without first
obtaining the approval of the other Party and agreement upon the nature and text
of such announcement or disclosure. The Party desiring to make any such public
announcement or other disclosure shall inform the other Party of the proposed
announcement or disclosure in reasonably sufficient time prior to public
release, and shall provide the other Party with a written copy thereof, in order
to allow such other Party to comment upon such announcement or disclosure. Each
Party agrees that it shall cooperate fully with the other with respect to all
disclosures regarding this Agreement to the Securities Exchange Commission and
any other governmental or regulatory agencies, including requests for
confidential treatment of proprietary information of either Party included in
any such disclosure.

10.6   Clinical Trial Register. GSK shall have the right to publish the results
or summaries of results of all clinical trials (including meta-analysis or
observational studies) conducted by or on behalf of GSK with respect to
Ronacaleret or Products in any clinical trial register maintained by GSK or its
Affiliates and the protocols of clinical trials relating to Ronacaleret or
Products on www.ClinicalTrials.gov (and/or in each case publish the results,
summaries and/or protocols of clinical trials on such other websites and/or
repositories as required by Applicable Laws or GSK's or its Affiliates'
policies). Each such publication made in accordance with this Section 10.6 shall
not be a breach of the confidentiality obligations provided in this Article 10.
It is understood and agreed that NPS shall not have the right to publish any
information regarding the Development of Ronacaleret, whether such Development
was conducted during the term of the Original Agreement or under this Agreement,
without the prior written consent of GSK, which consent GSK may withhold in its
discretion; provided, that if GSK consents to such publication, then GSK shall
have the right to review, comment on and approve such publication which shall be
made in accordance with all relevant GSK policies and procedures, including all
policies regarding scientific engagement.

10.7   Return of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided in
Article 9 of this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, each Party
hereto and its Affiliates shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to return
all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession to the other
Party; provided, that each Party may retain: (a) a single archival copy of the
Confidential Information of the other Party; (b) any portion of the Confidential
Information of the other Party which is contained in laboratory notebooks or
other electronic systems, the deletion from which would not be practicable; in

required (i) to facilitate filing of all patent applications covering inventions
referred to in Section 11.1 and shall execute all documents deemed necessary or
desirable therefor, and (ii) in connection with any litigation regarding Patents
as described in Sections 11.2(c) and 11.2(d).

11.4   Consultation; Cooperation. With respect to any Transferred Compound
Patents that disclose or describe Ronacaleret, and any Ronacaleret Patents that
disclose, describe or claim Transferred Compounds, respectively, the Parties
will use reasonable efforts to keep each other informed of issues in the
