        8.1.  Confidential Information.    Recipient shall hold all Confidential Information of Discloser in strict
confidence and shall not disclose any Confidential Information of Discloser to any third party, other than to (i) its employees, and (ii) academic third parties, contract research
organizations, and other parties in a fee-for-service relationship, only with respect to and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.5, 2.2.5,
and 2.2.6, (iii) sublicensees, only with respect to and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3, 2.1.5, 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.7 and 2.3, and (iv) third parties with
whom Recipient is in good faith discussions relating to entering into any of the relationships contemplated in (ii) or (iii) above. Each third party expressly contemplated and provided
for by an applicable Section of this Agreement to which Confidential Information is disclosed will be bound in writing before such disclosure by restrictions regarding disclosure and use of such
information comparable to and no less restrictive than those set forth herein. Such agreements shall not restrict the Discloser's rights as set forth in this Agreement in any way. Recipient shall not
use any Confidential Information of Discloser for any purpose other than exercising its rights or performing its obligations under this Agreement. Recipient shall take the same degree of care that it
uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information and materials of similar nature and importance (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the
unauthorized use, disclosure, publication or dissemination of the Confidential Information of Discloser. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, use and disclosure of Confidential
Information of Discloser shall not be precluded to the extent Recipient is legally compelled to disclose such Confidential Information, provided, however, that prior to any such compelled disclosure,
Recipient shall give the Discloser reasonable advance notice of any such disclosure and shall cooperate with Discloser in protecting against any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order
narrowing the scope of such disclosure and/or use of the Confidential Information of Discloser. 


        8.2.  Confidentiality of the Agreement.    This Agreement, including the terms set forth herein, will remain
confidential between GSK Group and Affymax Group. It is agreed that the GSK Group and Affymax Group shall have the right to disclose this Agreement, including the terms set forth herein, to
(i) tax advisors, accounting firms, legal counsel or similar professional third parties, provided that any such recipient shall be subject to an obligation to keep confidential and not disclose
such information, and (ii) investors and other potential strategic partners, provided that any such recipient is bound in writing before such disclosure by restrictions regarding disclosure and
use of such information comparable to and no less restrictive than those set forth herein. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, GSK Group and Affymax Group may disclose
this Agreement, including the terms set forth herein, as required to comply with applicable law, regulations, court orders, or tax or securities filings. No public statements, including, but not
limited to, speeches, lectures, publications, press releases, advertisements, e-mails and postings on the Internet or World Wide Web, shall be made by GSK Group or Affymax Group concerning
this Agreement other than public announcements in accordance with Section 9.1 of this Agreement. 


9.     MISCELLANEOUS  


        9.1.  Public Announcements.    Any public announcement concerning the terms of this Agreement (except such as may be
required to be made by either party to comply with applicable law, regulations, court orders, or tax or securities filings) shall be subject to prior written consent by the other Party. Such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by such other Party. Prior to any such public announcement, the Party wishing to make the announcement will submit a draft of the proposed announcement to

        9.2.  Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted, in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of
Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. 


        9.3.  Further Assurances.    From time to time on and after the Effective Date, each Party shall at the reasonable
request of another Party (a) deliver to such other Party such records, data or other documents consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) execute, and deliver or cause to be
delivered, all such consents, documents or further instruments of license, and (c) take or cause to be taken all such other actions, as such other Party may reasonably deem necessary or
desirable in order for such Party to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. 


        9.4.  Force Majeure.    Neither Party shall be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance hereunder
caused by strikes, embargoes, unexpected government requirements, civil or military authorities, acts of God, earthquake, or by the public enemy or other causes reasonably beyond such Party's control
and without such Party's fault or negligence; provided that the affected Party notifies the unaffected Party as soon as reasonably possible, and resumes performance hereunder as soon as reasonably
possible following cessation of such force majeure event. 


        9.5.  Independent Contractors.    The relationship of the Parties established by this Agreement is that of
independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be constructed to create any other relationship between the Parties. Neither Party shall have any right, power or authority to bind the other
or assume, create or incur any expense, liability or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other. 



        9.6.  Assignment.    The Parties agree that their rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be transferred
or assigned, by contract, operation of law or otherwise, to a third party without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement and any rights or obligations hereunder without consent of the other Party to (i) its Affiliates, and (ii) to the surviving or
acquiring entity in connection with any merger, acquisition, sale of assets or other corporate reorganization, provided such, merger, acquisition, sale of assets or other corporate reorganization
involves all or substantially all of such party's assets; and provided that any such assignee under (i) or (ii) above agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Any assignment not in conformance with this Section 9.6 shall be null, void and of no legal effect. 


        9.7.  Notices.    Any notice, report, communication or consent required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be sent (a) by prepaid registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, (b) by overnight express delivery service by a nationally recognized courier, or
(c) via confirmed facsimile or telecopy, followed within five (5) days by a copy mailed in the preceding manner, addressed to the other Party at the address shown below or at such other
address for which such party gives notice hereunder. Such notice will be deemed to have been given when delivered or, if delivery is not accomplished by some fault of the addressee, when tendered.

        9.8.  Modification; Waiver.    This Agreement may not be altered, amended or modified in any way except by a writing
signed by both Parties. The failure of a Party to enforce any rights or provisions of the Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such rights or provisions, or a waiver by such party to
thereafter enforce such rights or provision or any other rights or provisions hereunder. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving Party.

reformation or striking shall be effective if the result materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to either Party. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, and reformation or striking of such provision would materially change the economic benefit of this Agreement to
either Party, the Parties shall modify such provision to obtain a legal, valid and enforceable provision and provide an economic benefit to the Parties that most nearly effects the Parties' intent on
entering into this Agreement
