(a) to use the Drug Substance to conduct development of the Drug Product in the
Territory and to conduct any development in the Territory;




(b) to use the Drug Substance to conduct development of Drug Products in Other
Territories (hereinafter defined), solely for the purpose of obtaining Regulatory
Approvals in the Territory, provided that REPLIDYNE obtains the prior written
consent of DSP which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, until
the later of the expiration of the sole negotiation right in Section 2.2 or
the completion of any development of Drug Products by REPLIDYNE, its Affiliates or
sublicensees, commenced prior to such expiration;




(c) to manufacture, and have manufactured the Drug Products, within the Territory
below, from the Drug Substance; and




(d) to use, promote, offer to sell, sell, have sold, import, and export Drug
Products in the Territory.




It is also expressly understood that REPLIDYNE is not granted any rights under the
Patents or the Know-How except as expressly licensed in the foregoing sentence. It
is further expressly understood that said license shall not in any way be
interpreted as granting REPLIDYNE a license to manufacture or have manufactured the

Products to locations outside of the Territory, except as the Parties may otherwise
agree pursuant to Section 2.2 or as provided in Section 2.3.

Party) to enter into any agreement(s) with DSP regarding the grant of exclusive rights to develop
and commercialize Drug Substance and Drug Products in countries outside the Territory but
excluding Japan (hereinafter referred to as “Other Territories”). Such sole negotiation right
shall commence on the Effective Date and expire two (2) years after the first Launch of the Drug
Product in the Territory. In addition, DSP will not itself, or through its Affiliates,
commercialize the Drug Product in Other Territories during that time. REPLIDYNE may choose when

that DSP will require REPLIDYNE to use diligent efforts regarding the development in Other
Territories, Regulatory Approval, launch, and marketing the Drug Product to pursue
commercialization in Other Territories promptly following the grant of such rights. If the
Parties are able to agree on the terms and conditions of such commercialization rights in Other
Territories which terms and conditions shall be independent of the terms and conditions in this
Agreement, the Parties will amend this Agreement to reflect such terms. If the Parties are unable
to reach an agreement within [ *** ] after REPLIDYNE has elected to commence negotiations with
DSP, then DSP may, following the end of such negotiation, itself commercialize Drug Products or
negotiate with Third Parties regarding such rights, in each case solely in any country for which

agreement with a Third Party for a country or countries for which DSP and REPLIDYNE were unable to
reach agreement, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the reasonable terms and
conditions relating to DSP’s or its other licensee’s potential

use for commercialization in Other Territories of information, know-how, and documentation

commercialization of Drug Products inside the Territory.



     2.4 Sublicense by REPLIDYNE. REPLIDYNE may sublicense some or all of the
rights licensed under Section 2.1 and 2.3 hereof to REPLIDYNE’s Affiliates or

Affiliates shall be subject to prior written notice to DSP and any sublicensing hereunder to any
Third Parties shall be subject to the prior written approval of DSP, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. REPLIDYNE will notify DSP promptly following REPLIDYNE’s
reaching an agreement in principle with a proposed Third Party sublicensee. At DSP’s request,
REPLIDYNE will discuss with DSP REPLIDYNE’s proposed arrangement with such Third Party, excluding
[ *** ]. It shall be reasonable for DSP to withhold its approval with respect to (a) any proposed
Third Party sublicensee that also commercializes Competitive Product within the Territory, (b) any
proposed Third Party sublicensee that also commercializes a Competitive Product outside the
Territory (if such commercialization outside the Territory could reasonably have a material
adverse effect on commercialization of Drug Product within the Territory), or (c) any proposed
sublicensing arrangement which DSP reasonably concludes that such sublicensing arrangement will
not provide for sufficient development and marketing capabilities to commercialize Drug Product to
perform the Sales and Marketing Plan as stipulated in Section 8.1 of this Agreement.



     2.5 Extension of Patents. DSP and REPLIDYNE shall reasonably cooperate in
obtaining an extension or restoration of the term of any of the DSP Patents, or in obtaining

the Territory which REPLIDYNE has reasonable grounds to believe is likely to export Drug Products
outside the Territory. If REPLIDYNE becomes aware that a Third Party in the Territory is
exporting Drug Products acquired from REPLIDYNE to a country outside the Territory, then REPLIDYNE
shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts within its legal rights and the remedies afforded by
Applicable Laws to deter such Third Party from continuing such

discussions among both Parties [ *** ].

Regulatory Authorities in connection with REPLIDYNE’s efforts in seeking Regulatory Approvals and
submitting any such applications, amendments, or supplements for Drug Products.



     5.5 Assistance by REPLIDYNE. If DSP desires to commercialize the Drug
Product in Japan or in Other Territories, subject to Section 2.2, either itself or through
an Affiliate or a Third Party, then at DSP’s request the Parties shall negotiate in good faith
regarding reasonable terms and conditions under which REPLIDYNE would potentially provide
reasonable assistance to DSP and/or DSP’s Affiliates or DSP’s licensees in obtaining the
Regulatory Approvals from Regulatory Authorities for the use, sale or promotion of Drug Products
in Other Territories, as further provided in Section 2.2.



ARTICLE 6 . LICENSE FEES AND ROYALTIES.




     6.1 License Fees. In consideration of the rights and benefits granted
hereunder, REPLIDYNE shall pay to DSP the following license fees in Japanese yen (hereinafter

[ *** ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended.









12








 









(i) [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Net Sales for the aggregated portion
of the Net Sales of the Drug Product in the Territory in a calendar year
below [ *** ] U.S. dollars (US$[ *** ]);




(ii) [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Net Sales for the aggregated portion
of the Net Sales of the Drug Product in the Territory in a calendar year
equivalent to or exceeding [ *** ] U.S. dollars (US$[ *** ]) and below [ ***
] U.S. dollars (US$[ *** ]);




(iii) [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Net Sales for the aggregated portion
of the Net Sales of the Drug Product in the Territory in a calendar year
equivalent to or exceeding [ *** ] U.S. dollars (US$[ *** ]) and below [ ***
] U.S. dollars (US$[ *** ]); and




(iv) [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Net Sales for the aggregated portion
of the Net Sales of the Drug Product in the Territory in a calendar year [
*** ] U.S. dollars (US$[ *** ]) or more;




       For purposes of calculating the applicable royalty rate in Section
6.2.1, Net Sales from those countries in the Territory for which REPLIDYNE is no
longer paying royalties shall be excluded from such calculation.



6.2.2 Sustained Release Formulation.





(a) In the event that REPLIDYNE develops a sustained release formulation of the Drug
Product (hereinafter referred to as “Sustained Release Formulation”) and pays any
royalties and/or license fees for the Third Party’s patent necessary for
commercialization of the Sustained Release Formulation, then REPLIDYNE may credit [
*** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of such amounts against the royalties owed to DSP with
respect to the Sustained Release Formulation pursuant to Section 6.2.1
during the Term of this Agreement; provided, however, that such credit shall not
result in a reduction of such royalties by more than [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of
the Net Sales of the Sustained Release Formulation, on an annual basis.




(b) In the event that REPLIDYNE develops the Sustained Release Formulation by using
the DSP Know-How, and thereby obtains a Sustained Release Formulation patent
registered by REPLIDYNE that effectively excludes all other faropenem products from
the market, then,




(i) following the expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section
16.1, and until the expiration of such Sustained Release Formulation
patent, REPLIDYNE shall pay DSP a royalty for such DSP Know-How equal to [
*** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Net Sales of such Sustained Release
Formulation covered by the REPLIDYNE Sustained Release Formulation patent,
and



[ *** ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended.









13








 









(ii) following the expiration of this Agreement, pursuant to Section
16.1, if REPLIDYNE pays any royalties and/or license fees for the Third
Party’s patent necessary for commercialization of the Sustained Release
Formulation, then REPLIDYNE may credit [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of such
amounts against the royalties owed to DSP with respect to the Sustained
Release Formulation pursuant to Section 6.2.2.(b)(i); provided,
however, that such credit shall not result in a reduction of such royalties
by more than [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Net Sales of the Sustained
Release Formulation, on an annual basis.




(c) Appendix A includes DSP patent applications claiming a Sustained Release
Formulation. Patents issuing from such application would have an expiry date later
than the other DSP Patents listed on Appendix A. To clarify, the term
described in Section 16.1(a) shall only extend beyond the expiry of such
other DSP Patents on Appendix A if and so long as REPLIDYNE actually
manufactures, uses or sells a Sustained Release Formulation that is covered by a DSP
Sustained Release Formulation patent in such country. REPLIDYNE shall promptly
inform DSP or have its sublicensees inform DSP in case it ceases commercialization
of the Sustained Release Formulation that is covered by a DSP Sustained Release
Formulation patent in Drug Product in such country. Thus, if REPLIDYNE obtains its
own Sustained Release Formulation patent and sells a Sustained Release Formulation
as described in Section 6.2.2(b), but the product sold by REPLIDYNE does not
practice a DSP Sustained Release Formulation patent in such country, then after the
other DSP Patents in Appendix A expire and Section 16.1(b) expires
the Term of this Agreement shall have expired and royalties, if any, will be due
under Section 6.2.2(b) and not under Section 6.2.1.



            6.2.3 Royalty for Ciba-Geigy (Novartis) Patents. In addition to REPLIDYNE’s
payments under Section 6.2.1, REPLIDYNE shall pay any royalties owed to Novartis, to be
paid through DSP, if any, for the practice by REPLIDYNE of the Ciba-Geigy (Novartis) Patents as
listed in Appendix B of this Agreement; provided, however, that the rate of royalty on such
patents to be paid by REPLIDYNE for Net Sales in the U.S. shall not exceed [ *** ] percent ([ ***
]%) and that such royalties shall be payable only on Net Sales occurring until the end of the year
2007. DSP shall timely make all such payments due to Novartis in respect of Net Sales of Drug
Product.



            6.2.4 Reduction of Royalty Rate. Upon the expiration date of all valid claims
of the DSP Patents in a given country that would be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of
the Drug Product actually sold by REPLIDYNE in such country but for the license granted herein, the
royalty rate in such country shall be reduced to [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the royalty rates
pursuant to Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2(a). Additionally, if during the Term of this
Agreement any product containing any form of faropenem as an active ingredient is sold in any
country in the Territory by a company other than REPLIDYNE, its Affiliates or sublicensees, then
the royalty rate for such country shall be reduced to [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the royalty
rates pursuant to Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2(a); provided that if such other product
is sold before the expiration of all valid claims of the DSP Patents in such country and such other
product infringes at least one such

Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended.

claim, REPLIDYNE is using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assert any relevant Patents to
terminate such sales.




               6.2.5 Rate of Exchange for Royalties. For the purpose of converting to U.S.
dollars any other currency in the Territory in which Net Sales are made in order to determine the
amount of the royalty payable by REPLIDYNE to DSP under Section 6.2, the rate of exchange
to be applied shall be the rate published in The Wall Street Journal, East Coast edition, on the
last business day of the applicable calendar quarter during the Term of this Agreement.



               6.2.6 Reports. Each royalty payment under Section 6.2 shall be
accompanied by a report showing the total of the REPLIDYNE’s Net Sales during the three (3) month
period for which such royalty payment is being made and the calculation of the total royalty
payable for such three (3) month period, together with such information as is reasonably necessary
to determine how the amount of such royalty payment was calculated.



               6.2.7 Inspection of Records. REPLIDYNE shall keep and maintain accurate and
complete records with respect to Net Sales, royalties and the calculation thereof with respect to
Drug Products manufactured, distributed and sold by REPLIDYNE in sufficient detail to enable the
determination of the royalties payable to DSP. At DSP’s request, REPLIDYNE shall make such records
for the preceding three (3) year period available for inspection and audit at a mutually convenient
time within normal business hours by an independent auditor appointed by DSP subject to the
reasonable approval of REPLIDYNE, and who shall enter into a confidentiality agreement in favor of
REPLIDYNE, for the purpose of verifying the reports and payments submitted to DSP. Said inspection
and audit shall be limited to no more than one (1) time during each twelve (12) month period. DSP
shall bear the cost of any such inspection and audit, provided that if the inspection and audit
shows an underpayment of royalties of more than five percent (5%) of the amount paid for the
audited period, then REPLIDYNE shall promptly reimburse DSP for all costs incurred in connection
with such inspection and audit and shall promptly pay the amount of the underpayment.



     6.3 Payment of License Fees and Royalties. REPLIDYNE shall pay to DSP in a
bank account as designated by DSP license fees and royalties due and payable under Sections
6.1 and 6.2. REPLIDYNE shall pay the total royalty accrued under Section 6.2
during each of the three (3) month periods ending on March 31, June 30, September 30 or December
31 of each year, within sixty (60) days after the last business day of such three (3)-month period
or portion thereof during the Term of this Agreement. Payment of the royalty under Section
6.2 shall be made in U.S. dollars. Any and all bank charges and other fees incurred by
REPLIDYNE in processing such payments shall be borne by REPLIDYNE.



     6.4 Withholding Tax. If any of the payments made or to be made by REPLIDYNE
to DSP pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Agreement become subject to
withholding taxes under the laws of the U.S., then REPLIDYNE shall withhold the amount of such
taxes for the account of DSP to the extent required by law, and shall pay the amounts of such
taxes to the proper governmental authorities in a timely manner and promptly transmit to DSP an
official tax certificate or other evidence of such tax obligations together with proof of payment
from the relevant governmental authorities of all amounts withheld sufficient to enable DSP to
claim such payment of taxes. REPLIDYNE will provide DSP with reasonable assistance to enable DSP
to

Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended.

recover such taxes as permitted by law. Any other taxes imposed upon REPLIDYNE arising out
of or in connection with REPLIDYNE’s activities hereunder shall be borne by REPLIDYNE.




ARTICLE 7 . SUPPLY OF DRUG SUBSTANCE.





        7.1 Supply of Drug Substance. As of the Effective Date, the terms and
conditions for the supply of the Drug Substance shall be stipulated in the Supply LOI, which shall
be     superceded by the Supply Agreement.




          7.2 Compensation for [ *** ].




          (a) If this Agreement is terminated by REPLIDYNE before [ *** ] the Drug Product for any
reason whatsoever, but excluding termination by REPLIDYNE due to DSP’s material breach pursuant
to Section 16.2, DSP’s bankruptcy, insolvency or the like pursuant to Section
16.5, or DSP’s failure to obtain agreement from an Acquiring Party pursuant to Section
16.6, then, [ *** ], REPLIDYNE shall [ *** ] as a result of such termination by REPLIDYNE
such amount not to exceed [ *** ] Japanese Yen (JPY [ *** ]). REPLIDYNE shall establish a
commercially reasonable mechanism for securing REPLIDYNE’s financial ability to make such
payment or obtain an insurance, upon the signing of this Agreement, which enables REPLIDYNE to
finance the aforementioned payment.




          (b) [ *** ]



ARTICLE 8. SALES PROMOTION / MARKETING.





          8.1 Sales and Marketing Plan. Three (3) months prior to the estimated date
of initial NDA filing in the Territory, the Parties shall form a marketing committee which
consists of each of its appropriate representatives designated by each Party (hereinafter called
the “Marketing Committee”) and shall meet annually. The Marketing Committee shall create and
review the Sales and Marketing Plan prior to the submission of the initial NDA filing in the
Territory. The Marketing Committee shall promptly discuss, in good faith, the Sales and Marketing
Plan and update such plan before the end of November of each calendar year, provided, however,
that REPLIDYNE shall have the right to make the final decision with respect to the Sales and
Marketing Plan. REPLIDYNE shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct all sales and

          8.2 Co-Promotion. In the event that REPLIDYNE intends to enter into a

in any country in the Territory. DSP shall have a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of such
notice (hereinafter referred to as “DSP Notice Period”) to provide to REPLIDYNE with a term sheet
setting forth DSP’s Affiliate’s proposed terms for a Co-Promotion agreement with REPLIDYNE in such
country. If prior to the end of the DSP Notice Period, REPLIDYNE receives a term sheet from DSP’s
Affiliate, then REPLIDYNE and DSP’s Affiliate, for a period of sixty (60) days or such longer
period of time as may be mutually

Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended.

agreed to by the Parties in writing (hereinafter referred to as “Negotiation Period”), shall
negotiate in good faith a definitive Co-Promotion agreement upon mutually agreeable terms and
conditions. If REPLIDYNE and DSP’s Affiliate fail to execute such definitive Co-Promotion
agreement by the end of the Negotiation Period or if DSP fails to provide REPLIDYNE with a term
sheet by the end of the DSP Notice Period, DSP’s right of first negotiation with respect to any
Co-Promotion arrangement for such country in the Territory shall terminate. DSP’s rights under
this Section 8.2 shall apply only to the extent consistent with, and shall be subject to,
(a) REPLIDYNE’s obligations under its agreements with Third Parties, and (b) any rights that
REPLIDYNE may grant to Third Party sublicensees with which REPLIDYNE agrees to develop and
commercialize Drug Products, or to which REPLIDYNE grants a sublicense for the development and
commercialization of Drug Products.




          8.3 Failure to Meet Sales and Marketing Plan. 




               (a) In the event that REPLIDYNE and its sublicensees, fail for two (2) consecutive calendar
years to substantially perform the planned sales and marketing activities of the Drug Product
stipulated in the Sales and Marketing Plan, including the sales forecast in the Sales and
Marketing Plan, for reasons other than those beyond their reasonable control, DSP shall so
notify REPLIDYNE and the Parties shall promptly discuss the matter in good faith for up to [ ***
] months following REPLIDYNE’s receipt of such notice. Within [ *** ] days after expiration of
such [ *** ] month period, if the Parties do not otherwise agree, upon written notice to
REPLIDYNE, DSP may alter the exclusive license granted to REPLIDYNE under this Agreement to
become a non-exclusive license. In calendar years in which REPLIDYNE and its sublicensees have
been selling Drug Product for a full twelve (12) months, “substantially perform” shall mean [
*** ].




               (b) If the license becomes non-exclusive, REPLIDYNE shall no longer have the first right
under Section 10.2 to bring a suit or action for infringement of the Patents in the
Territory and the Parties shall no longer be bound by Article 15. In addition,
REPLIDYNE shall grant to DSP, a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license to use the information,
know-how, and documentation generated by REPLIDYNE under this Agreement in connection with the
development and commercialization of Drug Product. DSP may sublicense the foregoing rights upon
prior written notice to REPLIDYNE. In consideration for the rights granted to DSP, DSP shall
pay REPLIDYNE a royalty equivalent to [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of net sales of Drug Product by
DSP, its Affiliates or sublicensees.

in advance of such filing. Any actions recommended by REPLIDYNE for such purpose will not be
unreasonably denied or delayed by DSP.





          9.2 Abandonment of Patents. DSP shall provide REPLIDYNE timely notice (not
to be less than 60 days or if imposed by a Regulatory Authority, a lesser but reasonable shorter
period of time) before abandoning any DSP Patent and/or the maintenance of any such DSP Patent in

Patent to REPLIDYNE free of charge, and shall take such action as is reasonably necessary to avoid
abandonment of such DSP Patent. DSP shall assign its rights to and provide reasonable assistance
to REPLIDYNE in connection with any such transfer and assignment, at REPLIDYNE’s expense.
Thereafter, REPLIDYNE shall have the sole right but not the obligation to maintain and/or
prosecute, as the case may be any such DSP Patent.




          9.3 Selection and Ownership of Trademarks. All of the Trademarks to be used
by REPLIDYNE on Drug Products shall be selected by REPLIDYNE in consultation with DSP and shall be
owned by REPLIDYNE on a worldwide basis, with the final decision on any such selection resting
with REPLIDYNE. Prior to selecting any Trademark, REPLIDYNE shall submit to DSP a reasonable
number of candidates for such Trademark, and, if DSP so requests, the results of searches and
analyses and reports relating to the use of the proposed candidates that are reasonably determined
by REPLIDYNE. REPLIDYNE shall obtain at its own expense and on its own responsibility such
searches, analyses and reports regarding use of such candidates for such Trademark. REPLIDYNE
shall be responsible for the registration and maintenance, at its expense, of the selected
Trademark(s). It is expressly understood that nothing in this Article is a warranty or
representation by REPLIDYNE as to the successful registration of the Trademark.




          9.4 License of DSP Logogram. Subject to Applicable Laws and provided that
there is adequate space, REPLIDYNE shall use on Drug Products and certain of their “labels”,
“packaging”, literature, advertising and other printed materials to be mutually agreed the DSP

Section 2.1 and in connection with the marketing, promotion, and sale of Drug Products in
the Territory during the Term of this Agreement, and REPLIDYNE accepts such license subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.




          9.5 DSP’s Rights to the Trademark. If DSP desires to commercialize the Drug

and conditions under which REPLIDYNE potentially would transfer to DSP the registration and
ownership to such Trademark for such country.





          9.6 DSP’s Rights to Other Marks. If REPLIDYNE obtains any rights with regard
to any symbols, package designs or other marks relating to Drug Products other than the Trademark,
then subject to the rights of any Third Party in any of the foregoing, DSP and REPLIDYNE shall
negotiate in good faith regarding reasonable terms and conditions under which DSP potentially may
use, on a non-exclusive basis, such symbol, package design or other marks for Drug Products for
Japan or other countries outside the Territory as further provided in Section 2.2.

documents reasonably necessary for maintaining and perfecting DSP’s rights in the DSP
Logogram, including, if necessary, recording this Agreement with the appropriate
governmental authorities, if requested by DSP and at DSP’s expense. REPLIDYNE agrees that
nothing in the licenses granted to REPLIDYNE hereunder or in this Agreement shall give
REPLIDYNE any right, title or interest in the DSP Logogram, other than the right to use
the DSP Logogram in accordance with the terms of the license granted to REPLIDYNE under
this Agreement and under the terms of this Agreement, and REPLIDYNE agrees that it will
not challenge the title of DSP to the DSP Logogram or the validity of the licenses to use
the DSP Logogram granted herein.




     (b) REPLIDYNE shall submit to DSP copies of representative samples of REPLIDYNE’s use
of labels, packaging, literature, advertising, promotional or other materials which use
the DSP Logogram for purposes of maintaining the quality standards associated with the
Drug Products and the name, reputation and goodwill of DSP. Upon DSP’s request, REPLIDYNE
shall submit representative samples of each new use of the DSP Logogram. REPLIDYNE agrees
to permit upon reasonable prior notice reasonable inspection of REPLIDYNE’s operations to
confirm use of the DSP Logogram. REPLIDYNE agrees to comply with DSP’s quality control
standards with respect to REPLIDYNE’s use of the DSP Logogram. If DSP notifies REPLIDYNE
in writing of any deficiencies or departures from such standards, REPLIDYNE shall promptly
correct same. REPLIDYNE covenants during the Term of this Agreement that the DSP Logogram
will be used in accordance with the quality standards of an established, reputable
pharmaceutical company, consistent with industry standards. Any review under this
Article 9 shall be consistent with standards established and exercised by DSP for
its own trademarks.

Term of this Agreement), REPLIDYNE agrees to immediately discontinue all use of the DSP
Logogram, except as permitted in connection with the sale of inventory as provided in
Section 17.1(c), and REPLIDYNE agrees that it shall not use any logo, mark or
symbol that is similar to the DSP Logogram on any other pharmaceutical products other than
the Drug Product during the Term of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties
pursuant to Section 16.1 hereof. Upon such termination and subject to
Sections 16.1 and 17.1(c), REPLIDYNE shall cooperate with DSP and use its
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to destroy all labels, packaging, literature, advertising
materials or any other materials bearing DSP Logogram.



ARTICLE 10 INFRINGEMENT, ENFORCEMENT, AND DEFENSE. 





10.1 Notification of Infringement. Whenever either Party becomes aware of
the possible infringement of any Patent or Trademark by a Third Party, it shall promptly notify
the other Party of any such infringement and shall provide such other Party with any available
evidence of such infringement.




10.2 Infringement Action by REPLIDYNE. REPLIDYNE shall have the first
opportunity, but not the obligation, to bring any suit or action for infringement of the Patents
or the Trademark in the Territory. [ *** ]. It is expressly understood that REPLIDYNE shall not
have the right to enforce the Patents beyond the scope of its exclusive license hereunder. DSP
shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its cost to join as a party, provided, however,
that DSP agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff if REPLIDYNE finds it legally necessary to join
DSP. REPLIDYNE shall have control over such suit or action, provided that REPLIDYNE consults with

settlement or otherwise, as a result of any infringement action brought by REPLIDYNE, the money
actually received shall be applied first to the costs and expenses (including reasonable

action against the Third Party infringer within the relevant jurisdiction [ *** ]. If requested,

expense, and REPLIDYNE shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its expense to join as a
party in any

infringement action brought by DSP. DSP shall not settle such action in any manner that
grants a license or otherwise conflicts with the rights granted to REPLIDYNE pursuant to this
Agreement without the prior written consent of REPLIDYNE which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. In the event that monetary damages or other payments are awarded or obtained

manufactured, use, marketing, promotion, distribution, commercialization, sale, offer to sell,
having sold, export or import of Drug Products by REPLIDYNE, its Affiliates or its sublicensees or
DSP or DSP’s Affiliates in the event such DSP’s Affiliate enters into a Co-Promotion agreement in
accordance with Section 8.2, the Party against whom such proceeding is threatened or
commenced shall give prompt notice to the other Party (hereinafter referred to as “Infringement
Notice”). REPLIDYNE shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense and
settlement of any such suit or action, provided that REPLIDYNE notifies DSP that it intends to
exercise such right at the time REPLIDYNE gives DSP the Infringement Notice, or if REPLIDYNE is
not the Party giving the Infringement Notice, then within thirty (30) days after receipt of the
Infringement Notice from DSP. If REPLIDYNE fails to notify DSP of its intent to exercise such
right within such thirty (30) day time period or if REPLIDYNE notifies DSP within such thirty (30)
days that it does not intend to exercise such right, DSP shall then control the settlement and
defense of any such suit or action solely on its own behalf, but not on behalf of REPLIDYNE, its
Affiliates or sublicensees. Either Party shall not have the right to settle any such suit or
action in any manner that includes the grant of a license in the Territory or that could have any
adverse effect on the other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. [ *** ].

or regulations in such country in the Territory for the Drug Product actually
manufactured, used or sold by REPLIDYNE, or




     (b) for a period of twelve (12) years from the date of the first commercial sale of a

that the results of Development reasonably indicate that it is not commercially reasonable to
continue Development or to submit applications for or to obtain the Regulatory Approvals necessary
for successful marketing and selling Drug Products in a given country for such indication for the
Field in the Territory, or if REPLIDYNE concludes that such Development or preparation or
submission of such applications and registrations shall be cancelled due to issues relating to the
safety or efficacy of Drug Products in such country for such indication for the Field in the
Territory, then after discussion with DSP, REPLIDYNE shall have the right, in its sole discretion,

situation. In case an agreement on such modified economic terms is not reached within [ *** ]
months after the initiation of such discussion, REPLIDYNE shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety.
