7.  Infringement Proceeds.  Article 6.12 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“6.12 In the event that either Party becomes aware of actual or threatened infringement of Eisai Patents, Radius Patents or Joint Patents anywhere in the world, it shall promptly notify the other Party thereof in writing, which such notice shall include all information available to the notifying Party regarding such alleged infringement.  With respect to infringement of Eisai Patents anywhere in the world, Eisai shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to pursue any and all injunctive, compensatory and other remedies (collectively, “Remedies”) against the infringing third party.  Eisai shall have a period of forty-five (45) days after delivery to it of such notice and information to elect to so enforce such Eisai Patents.  In the event Eisai does not so elect, it shall so notify Radius in writing within such 45-day period, and Radius shall have the right to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable Eisai Patents against such infringing third party in the Territory.  In the event Eisai has a reasonable business basis not to enforce such Eisai Patents in the Territory, with the determination of reasonableness taking into account the costs of such litigation, its likelihood for success, the potential damages or settlement recovery, and the potential for exposure to counterclaims and defenses against Eisai with respect to the validity of the Eisai Patents, it shall provide Radius such basis in writing within such forty-five (45) day period, in which case Radius shall not have such enforcement right in the Territory; provided that, if the Parties discuss in good faith and agree that there could have a big negative impact on the Net Sales by such infringement, Radius shall thereafter be entitled to the royalty adjustment(s) described in Article 4.3 with respect to the applicable country(ies) where such infringement exists as if no patent protection or data protection clauses are in effect for such country(ies).  The Party pursuing Remedies pursuant to this Article 6.12 in respect of Eisai Patents, Radius Patents or Joint Patents shall bear its own costs and expenses relating to such pursuit.

 

Any damages and other amounts collected in any suit or the settlement thereof that is the subject of this Article 6.12 shall be distributed first, to the Party that pursued Remedies to cover its costs and expenses and, second, to the other Party to cover its unreimbursed costs and expenses, if any, relating to the pursuit of such Remedies.  The balance, if any remaining after the Parties have been compensated for expenses shall be distributed to Radius in an amount equal to its lost profits or a reasonable royalty on the sales of the infringer with respect to activity in the Territory (whichever measure the court or settlement agreement uses to determine damages).  The balance, if any, remaining after Radius has been compensated for lost profits or lost sales and Eisai has been compensated for lost royalties with respect to infringement in the Territory shall be distributed:  (i) [*] ([*]) percent to Radius and [*] ([*]) percent to Eisai in case of Radius pursuing Remedies, and (ii) [*] ([*]) percent to Eisai and [*] ([*]) percent to Radius in case of Eisai pursuing Remedies.

 

With respect to infringement of Radius Patents anywhere in the world, Radius shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to pursue any and all Remedies against the infringing third party.  Radius shall have a period of forty-five (45) days after delivery to it of such notice and information to elect to so enforce such Radius Patents.  In the event Radius does not so elect, it shall so notify Eisai in writing within such 45-day period.

 

In the event that a third party infringes any Joint Patents, Radius shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to pursue Remedies against the infringing third party.

In any event as set forth in this Article 6.12, upon request from the other Party, Eisai and Radius shall assist one another and cooperate in the pursuit of Remedies, including without limitation joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by applicable law to pursue such action, without charge to the other Party for costs and expenses incurred thereby.”

 

8.  Risk Allocation with respect to Japan.  Article 11.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“11.2 Eisai shall indemnify and hold harmless Radius, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, successors and assigns from any loss, damage, or liability, including attorney fees, resulting from any claim, complaint, suit, proceeding or cause of action against any of them by a third party arising out of or resulting from: (i) the negligence, recklessness or intentional acts or omissions of Eisai, its Affiliates, and licensees, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents; and (ii) any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Eisai hereunder; provided:

 

(a) Eisai shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless Radius under this Article 11.2 to the extent that:

 

(i) such claim arose out of or was the result of the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct or intentional acts or omissions of any employee or agent of Radius; or

 

(ii) the injury was the result of any defect attributable to the act or failure to act by Radius; and

 

(b) Eisai shall not have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless Radius under this Article 11.2 unless (i) Radius gives Eisai prompt written notice of any claim or lawsuit or other action for which it seeks to be indemnified under this Agreement, (ii) Eisai is given the opportunity to assume full authority and control over the defense, including settlement (provided that any settlement shall not result in any remaining obligation or liability on the part of Radius), against such claim or lawsuit or other action, and (iii) Radius cooperates fully with Eisai and its agents in defense of the claims or lawsuit or other action; and

 

(c) Radius shall have the right to participate solely at its own expense, in the defense of any such claim, complaint, suit, proceeding and its agents in d or cause of action, including any settlement or other disposition thereof, for which Radius seeks indemnification under this Agreement.”

 

9.  Change of Control.  Article 7.6 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“7.6 Radius shall notify Eisai in advance if Radius proposes to be acquired by or to transfer all of its pharmaceutical business assets (or an essential part of such assets) or fifty (50) percent or more of its voting stock to any third party person or organization, or to otherwise come under the control of, such a person or organization, whether resulting from merger, acquisition, consolidation or otherwise.  Eisai shall have twenty (20) business days following the receipt of such notice from Radius to notify Radius whether Eisai will deem the proposed change a termination event based on the criteria listed in items (1)-(3) below as well as the criteria listed in items (a)-(b) below and if Eisai does not provide such notice within such 20 business day period it will be deemed to have agreed that such change will not entitle Eisai to seek termination under this Article 7.6.  In the event that Radius gives such prior notice and is notified by Eisai that Eisai will deem the proposed change a termination event or Radius without giving such prior notice is acquired by or transfers all of its pharmaceutical business assets or an essential part of such assets to, or if fifty (50) percent or more of its voting stock is acquired by, or otherwise comes under the control of, a person or an organization, whether resulting from merger, acquisition, consolidation or otherwise, Radius shall promptly notify Eisai of such change and Eisai shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with notice to Radius delivered within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such change in the event that Eisai reasonably determines that the person or organization assuming control of Radius is not able to perform this Agreement with the same degree of skill and diligence that Radius shall use, such determination being made with reference to the following criteria with respect to the person or organization assuming control of Radius: (1) whether such person or organization has the financial

resources to assume the obligations of Radius with respect to Development and commercialization of Products; (2) whether such person or organization has personnel with skill and experience adequate to assume the obligations of Radius with respect to Development and commercialization of Products at the stage of Development and commercialization as of the date of such change; and (3) whether such person or organization expressly assumes all obligations imposed on Radius by this Agreement in writing and agrees to dedicate personnel and financial resources to the Development and commercialization of the Product that are at least as great as those provided by Radius.  Radius shall give Eisai information by which Eisai can reasonably determine whether such person or organization satisfies the above criteria together with the notice of such change.  It is understood and agreed that notwithstanding the above criteria listed in (1)-(3), Eisai shall have the right to terminate under this Article 7.6 if such person or organization: (a) has any material and active litigations with Eisai or (b) such person or organization is a hostile takeover bidder against Radius which has not been approved by the Board of Directors of Radius as constituted immediately prior to such change of control.  It is understood and agreed that an underwritten public offering of Radius’ common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, will not be considered a change of control triggering a termination right under this Article 7.6.”

 

10.  Ratification.  Except to the extent expressly amended by this Amendment No. 1, all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.  The term “Agreement”, as used in the Agreement, shall henceforth be deemed to be a reference to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment No. 1.
