9.    TERM; TERMINATION

      9.1 Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.5, the Term shall
commence as of the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to
this Section 9, shall terminate upon the expiration of the last to expire of the
Licensed Patents. Upon the expiration of the Term, Amgen shall have an
unrestricted license to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell and import all
Licensed Products in the Field of Use in the Licensed Territory, subject to any
outstanding payment obligations in accordance with Section 6.1. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Agreement may be earlier terminated pursuant to Section 9.2.

      9.2 Termination of Agreement for Convenience. At any time during the
Term, Amgen may, upon one hundred eighty (180) days written notice to Dyax,
terminate this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 9.5.

      9.3 Default.

      (a) In the event any representation or warranty made hereunder by either
party shall have been untrue in any material respect ("Representation Default")
or upon any material breach or material default of an obligation of this
Agreement by a party ("Performance Default"), the party not in default
("Non-Defaulting Party") must first give the other party ("Defaulting Party")
written notice thereof ("Notice of Default"), which notice must state the nature
of the Representation Default or Performance Default in reasonable detail and
request the Defaulting Party cure such default within thirty (30) days. If the
Defaulting Party shall dispute the existence, extent or nature of any default
set forth in a Notice of Default, the parties shall use good faith efforts to
resolve the dispute.

      (b) In the event of (i) a Representation Default by Dyax wherein the
underlying facts shall not have been brought into conformity with the
representation and warranty within the period set forth in Section 9.3(a) after
receipt of a Notice of Default (or, if the underlying facts of such
Representation Default cannot be brought into conformity within such period and,
in the determination of Amgen, Dyax shall have failed to commence substantial
remedial actions to bring such facts into conformity within such period and to
diligently pursue the same) or (ii) a Performance Default by Dyax that shall not
have been cured within the period set forth in Section 9.3(a) after receipt of a
Notice of Default (or, if such Performance Default cannot be cured within such
period and, in the determination of Amgen, Dyax shall have failed to commence
substantial remedial actions to cure such Performance Default within such period
and to diligently pursue the same), then upon such failure of Dyax to cure such
Representation Default or Performance Default, Amgen (in addition to any other
remedies which may be available to Amgen at law or equity), at its option, may
terminate this Agreement. Upon such termination by Amgen, Amgen shall have an
unrestricted license to make,

Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omissions.

have made, use, sell, offer to sell and import all Licensed Products in the
Field of Use in the Licensed Territory *************.

      (c) In the event of a Performance Default by Amgen that shall not have
been cured within the period set forth in Section 9.3(a) after receipt of a
Notice of Default (or, if such Performance Default cannot be cured within such
period and, in the determination of Dyax, Amgen shall have failed to commence
substantial remedial actions to cure such Performance Default within such period
and to diligently pursue the same), Dyax (in addition to any other remedies
which may be available to Dyax at law or equity), at its option, may terminate
this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 9.5.

      9.4 Insolvency or Bankruptcy.

      (a) In addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity,
either party may terminate this Agreement upon providing written notice to the
other party (the "Insolvent Party"), in the event the Insolvent Party shall have
become insolvent or bankrupt or shall have made an assignment for the benefit of
its creditors, or there shall have been appointed a trustee or receiver of the
Insolvent Party, or for all or a substantial part of its property, or any case
or proceeding shall have been commenced or other action taken by or against the
Insolvent Party in bankruptcy or seeking reorganization, liquidation,
dissolution, winding-up arrangement, composition or readjustment of its debts or
any other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar act or law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect, or there
shall have been issued a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar
process against any substantial part of the property of the Insolvent Party, and
any such event shall have continued for forty-five (45) days undismissed,
unbonded and undischarged.

      (b) All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by
Amgen or Dyax are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section
365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "Code"), licenses of rights to
"intellectual property" as defined under Section 101 of the Code. The parties
agree that each party which shall be a licensee of such rights under this
Agreement shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections
under the Code. The parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement
of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against either party under the Code, the party
hereto which shall not be a party to such proceeding shall be entitled to a
complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such
intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and
same, if not already in their possession, shall be promptly delivered to them
(i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon their written
request therefor, unless the party subject to such proceeding (or a trustee on
behalf of the subject party) elects to continue to perform all of their
obligations under this Agreement or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, upon
the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the party subject to such
proceeding upon written request therefor by the non-subject party.

      (c) In the event Dyax shall be the Insolvent Party and Amgen elects to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.4, all rights and
obligations other

than those which survive in accordance with Section 9.6 hereunder shall
terminate, provided, however, Amgen shall retain all licenses granted herein
*************.

      9.5 Effect of Certain Terminations. Upon the earlier termination of this
Agreement by Amgen pursuant to Section 9.2 or by Dyax pursuant to Section 9.3(c)
or 9.4, the following rights and obligations shall apply:

      (a) Neither party hereto shall be released from any liability which, at
the time of such termination, shall have already accrued to the other party or
which shall be attributable to a period prior to such termination nor preclude
either party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at
law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement; and

      (b) Amgen shall dispose of any unused Licensed Dyax Material and shall
have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of any finished Licensed Products
then on hand, and to manufacture, use and/or sell or otherwise dispose of any
raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods, returned and repossessed goods,
and materials of any kind, nature or description used in the manufacture of any
Licensed Products subject to such terminated license then on hand; and

      (c) Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 6.1 and 10.9 and this Section 9.5, and the
rights and obligations thereunder and hereunder, shall remain in full force
and effect in accordance with their respective terms without termination or
expiration except as expressly provided therein, and Sections 7 and 8 shall
remain in full force and effect for a period of five (5) years following
termination or expiration of this Agreement.

      9.6 Effect of Expiration or Certain Terminations. Upon the expiration of
the Term or the earlier termination of this Agreement by Amgen pursuant to
Section 9.3(b) or 9.4, the following rights and obligations shall apply:

      (a) Neither party hereto shall be released from any liability which, at
the time of such termination, shall have already accrued to the other party or
which shall be attributable to a period prior to such termination nor preclude
either party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at
law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement; and

      (b) Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 6.1 and 10.9 and this Section 9.6, and
the rights and obligations thereunder and hereunder, shall remain in full
force and effect in accordance with their respective terms without
termination or expiration except as expressly provided therein, and Sections
7 and 8 shall remain in full force and effect for a period of five (5) years
following termination or expiration of this Agreement.

10.   MISCELLANEOUS

      10.1 Severability. If any provision in this Agreement is, for any reason,
held to be void or of no effect, it shall not affect the validity of the
remaining provisions of


                                       12
<PAGE>

this Agreement, except in the case the absence of such void provision would make
the entire Agreement unworkable.

      10.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California, without reference to the conflicts of law principles
thereof, and the patent laws of the United States of America. The parties hereto
hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts
located in the State of California, notwithstanding the fact that either party
may now be or hereafter become domiciled in a different state.

      10.3 Notices. All notices, requests, approval or consent, and other
communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if in
writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by facsimile transmission

respective address specified below, or such other address as may be specified in

      10.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Exhibits attached
hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference) is a complete integration of
the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and
no prior representations, promises or understanding related to this subject
matter, which are not incorporated in this Agreement shall be binding upon the
parties.

      10.5 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by either party to
any Third Party hereto without the written consent of the other party; provided,
however, a party may assign this Agreement and all of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement, without such consent, to an entity that acquires all or
substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement pertains
(including, with respect to Dyax, an entity that acquires all of the Licensed
Patents), whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization, acquisition, sale or
otherwise. Notwithstanding the restrictions in this Section 10.5, no provision
of this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict Amgen's ability to sublicense any
or all of its rights in or to any Licensed Product or any other Amgen Property.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their successors and assigns, and the name of a party appearing herein shall be
deemed to include the names of such party's successors and permitted assigns to
the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Any assignment
not in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be void.

      10.6 Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors.
This Agreement shall not be interpreted as making either party the agent,
partner, joint venture or employee of the other. No association, combination or
relation is created between the parties, except as expressly provided.

      10.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

      10.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The parties specifically disavow any
desire or intention to create a "third party" beneficiary contract, and
specifically declare

Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omissions.

that no Person, except for the parties and their permitted assigns, shall have
any rights hereunder nor any right of enforcement hereof.

      10.9 Public Announcements. Except as otherwise required by law or
regulation (and in such event only after compliance with the terms of this
Section 10.9), neither party shall issue a press release or make any other
disclosure of the existence or of the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise
use the name or trademarks or products of the other party or the names of any
employees thereof, without the prior approval of such press release or
disclosure by the other party hereto. Each party shall submit any such press
release or disclosure to the other party, and the receiving party shall have
fifteen (15) days to review and approve any such press release or disclosure,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the receiving party
does not respond within such fifteen (15) day period, the press release or
disclosure shall be deemed approved. In addition if, in the reasonable
opinion of such party's counsel, a public disclosure shall be required by
law, regulation or court order, including without limitation in a filing with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or the United States
Food and Drug Administration, the disclosing party shall provide copies of
the disclosure reasonably in advance of such filing or other disclosure for
the nondisclosing party's prior review and comment, and the nondisclosing
party shall provide its comments, if any, on such announcement as soon as
practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Amgen agrees that Dyax may
include Amgen on a list that names Dyax licensees.
