To the extent MDCO owns or controls any regulatory exclusivities granted by the FDA that may prevent Regulatory Approval of the Teva Product or Teva’s Manufacture, importing or Marketing of Teva Product in the Territory as permitted hereunder, MDCO hereby waives, effective as of the date that Teva is licensed to conduct the applicable activity hereunder, such exclusivities and shall, if requested by Teva and if applicable, send the FDA, a written confirmation of MDCO’s agreement to waive, effective as of the date that Teva is licensed to conduct the applicable activity hereunder, such regulatory exclusivities with respect to the Teva Product and/or the Teva ANDA; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver shall not apply with respect to any pediatric exclusivity attached to the ‘404 Patent.  
2.2.    The license, waiver and authorization granted in Sections 2.1 and 3.1 of this Agreement are referred to herein as the “License and Authorization.”  Except to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 13.3, and without derogating from Teva’s “have Manufactured” rights set forth in Section 2.1, Teva shall not have the right to sublicense, assign or transfer any of its rights under the License and Authorization.

In addition to any other right or remedy MDCO may be entitled to, in the event that during the Term, Teva breaches Section 3.2, MDCO may, at its sole discretion, immediately, effective upon notice to Teva, terminate the API Supply Agreement, and/or this Agreement.  If MDCO terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.3, Section 4 shall survive such termination.
3.4.    Nothing set forth herein or in the other Settlement Documents shall be deemed to give MDCO any control over any Marketing exclusivity that may be granted to Teva by the FDA in connection with the Teva ANDA or the Teva Product.  Nothing set forth herein or in the other Settlement Documents shall be deemed to prevent or restrict Teva from Manufacturing or Marketing any Generic Equivalent Product which would not infringe MDCO’s Patents, and nothing herein shall prohibit Teva from entering into any agreement with a Third Party related to any Generic Equivalent Product that does not infringe MDCO’s Patents.

MDCO hereby covenants that it will not sue, assert any claim or counterclaim against, otherwise participate in any action or proceeding against Teva or its Affiliates or any of their shareholders, licensees, sublicensees, customers, suppliers, importers, manufacturers, distributors, insurers, or any heirs, administrators, executors, predecessors, successors, or assigns of the foregoing, or cause or authorize any person or entity to do any of the foregoing, in each case claiming or otherwise asserting that the Manufacture or use anywhere in the world for exportation into the Territory, or the sale, offer for sale, or importation of the Teva Product (and for clarity, the Compound used to Manufacture the Teva Product), in or for the Territory, infringes MDCO’s Patents insofar as MDCO’s Patents apply to the Teva ANDA or the Teva Product (the “Covenant Not to Sue”).  MDCO will impose the foregoing Covenant Not to Sue on any Third Party to which MDCO may assign, grant a right to enforce, or otherwise transfer (by any means) any of MDCO’s Patents subject to the foregoing Covenant Not to Sue.  The Covenant Not to Sue shall not apply in the event Teva has violated either of the Consent 





Judgments or has materially breached this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement.  For any U.S. patents subject to the Covenant Not to Sue and listed in the FDA Orange Book, the Covenant Not to Sue will hereby be treated as a non-exclusive license, so that Teva or its Affiliates may file and maintain with the FDA “Paragraph IV Certifications” under 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) and 21 U.S.C. § 355(b)(2)(A)(iv) with respect thereto.

For purposes of clarity, nothing herein shall inhibit any Party’s ability to enforce the terms of this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement or MDCO’s ability to enforce any patent, including the MDCO’s Patents against Third Parties, except as specifically provided in the Covenant Not to Sue.  In connection with this Agreement, each Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits afforded in any jurisdiction similar to those afforded in Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

This covenant not to sue shall not apply in the event Teva has violated either of the Consent Judgments or has breached this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement.  In addition to any other right or remedy MDCO may be entitled to, in the event that (i) Teva breaches this Section 3.10, or (ii) Compound supplied by Teva is used in a Generic Equivalent Product sold in the Territory by a Third Party [**] prior to:

4.4.    During the Term, MDCO shall have the right, but not obligation, to prosecute at its own expense all infringements of Teva’s Patents in the MDCO Field and, in furtherance of such right, Teva hereby agrees that MDCO may include Teva as a named party plaintiff in any such suit, without expense to MDCO.  The total cost of any such infringement action commenced or defended solely by MDCO shall be borne by MDCO, and MDCO shall keep any recovery or damages derived therefrom. 
4.4.1    In the event that any action alleging invalidity of any of Teva’s 





Patents shall be brought against Teva or MDCO, MDCO shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense of such action at its own expense, and Teva shall not enter into any settlement of such action that would derogate from the scope of the license granted to MDCO hereunder without MDCO’s prior written consent.
4.4.2    In any infringement suit as MDCO may institute to enforce Teva’s Patents in the MDCO Field pursuant to this Agreement, Teva shall, at the request and expense of MDCO, cooperate in all reasonable respects and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like.
4.4.3    Teva retains the right to enforce Teva’s Patents outside of the MDCO Field, and in the event that MDCO chooses not to enforce Teva’s Patents with respect to infringement within the MDCO Field, MDCO will notify Teva within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date that MDCO becomes aware of such infringement and Teva shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce Teva’s Patents with respect to such infringement and keep any recovery or damages derived therefrom.
4.5.    Teva hereby covenants that it will not sue, assert any claim or counterclaim against, otherwise participate in any action or proceeding against MDCO or any of its shareholders, licensees, sublicensees, customers, suppliers, importers, manufacturers, distributors, insurers, or any heirs, administrators, executors, predecessors, successors, or assigns of the foregoing, or cause or authorize any person or entity to do any of the foregoing, in each case claiming or otherwise asserting that the Manufacture, use sale, offer for sale, or importation of Angiomax, or any other product in a lyophilized powder form containing the Compound as its sole active ingredient (and for clarity, the Compound used to Manufacture such products), in or for the Territory, infringes Teva’s Patents.  Teva will impose the foregoing covenant on any Third Party to which Teva may assign, exclusively license or otherwise transfer any of Teva’s Patents subject to the foregoing covenant.
5.Marketing of Teva Product
5.1.    During any period Teva is paying a royalty under Sections 6.1 or 6.2, Teva shall, at its sole cost and expense, utilize Commercially Reasonable Efforts in Marketing the Teva Product in the Territory to maximize sales of Teva Product.  During the Term prior to the Teva Launch Date regarding the Marketing of Teva Product, Teva shall not enter into any arrangements or agreements with any Third Party to Market Teva Product in the Territory without MDCO’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that Teva shall not be restricted in entering into customary agreements with its ordinary trade customers including, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers or with suppliers and vendors of advertising, marketing and promotional services. 
5.2.    Except as provided in Section 13.3, only Teva shall be permitted to Launch and Market Teva Product under this Agreement.
5.3.    It is the intent of Teva to seek to sell Teva Product so as to maximize Teva 





Product Gross Profits.  Teva will have sole discretion, however, in setting the price for the sale of the Teva Product in the Territory.  Teva will also agree that if it prices Teva Product in order to gain or maintain sales of other products, then for purposes of calculating the payments due hereunder, the Net Sales of such Teva Product shall be adjusted to reverse any discount which was given to a customer that was in excess of customary discounts for the Teva Product (or, in the absence of relevant data for this Teva Product, other similar products under similar market conditions).
6.Royalties
6.1.    Teva Product.  Teva will pay to MDCO a royalty of [**] percent ([**]%) of Teva Product Gross Profits on Teva Product sold [**]. 
6.2.    [**].  Teva will pay to MDCO a royalty of [**] percent ([**]%) of Teva Product Gross Profits on Teva Product sold [**].

6.4.    Annual True-Up. Within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the end of the last calendar year during the Term in which fees are payable to MDCO pursuant to this Section 6, Teva shall perform a “true up” reconciliation (and shall provide MDCO with a written report of such reconciliation) of the items comprising deductions from Net Sales outlined in Sections 1.51.2, 1.51.4 and 1.51.5.  The reconciliation shall be based on actual cash paid or credits actually issued plus an estimate for any remaining liabilities incurred related to Teva Product but not yet paid.  If the foregoing reconciliation report shows either an underpayment or an overpayment between the Parties, the Party owing payment to the other Party shall pay the amount of the difference to the other Party within thirty (30) days of the date of delivery of such report. 
6.5.    Final True-Up.  Within twenty-five (25) months of the after the end of the last calendar year during the Term in which fees are payable to MDCO pursuant to this Section 6, Teva shall perform a “true-up” reconciliation (and shall provide MDCO with a written report of such reconciliation) of the items comprising deductions from Net Sales for returns as outlined in Section 1.51.3.  The reconciliation shall be based on actual cash paid or credits issued for returns, through the twenty-four (24) month period following the termination of the Supply Term.  If the foregoing reconciliation report shows either an underpayment or an overpayment between the Parties, the Party owing payment to the other Party shall pay the amount of the difference to the other Party within thirty (30) days of the date of delivery of such report.
6.6.    Maintenance of Records.  During the Term, and for a period of three (3) 





years thereafter, Teva shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall, keep at either its normal place of business, or at an off-site storage facility, detailed, accurate and up to date:
6.6.1    records and books of account sufficient to confirm the calculation of the gross sales, Net Sales, AG Product Gross Profits (as applicable), Teva Product Gross Profits (as applicable), and the royalties payable hereunder; and 
6.6.2    information and data contained in any invoices or reports accompanying any payment to MDCO provided to MDCO in connection with this Agreement.
6.7.    Inspection.  On no less than [**] Business Days notice from MDCO, Teva shall make all the records, books of account, information and data referred to in Section 6.7 of this Agreement available for inspection during normal business hours by an internationally recognized independent accounting firm selected by MDCO and reasonably acceptable to Teva that is not paid in whole or in part by a contingent fee arrangement, (“MDCO’s External Auditor”) for the purpose of general review or audit; provided that MDCO may not request such inspection more than once in any calendar year.  Upon reasonable belief of discrepancy or dispute, MDCO’s External Auditor shall be entitled to take copies or extracts from such records, and books of account (but only to the extent related to the contractual obligations set out in this Agreement) during any review or audit, provided MDCO’s External Auditor signs a confidentiality agreement with Teva providing that such records, and books of account shall be treated as Confidential Information which may not be disclosed to any Person, including MDCO.  MDCO’s External Auditor shall only disclose to MDCO the results of the MDCO’s External Auditor’s audit, which results shall be concurrently disclosed to Teva. Any underpayment of amounts due hereunder as reflected by MDCO’s External Auditor’s results shall be promptly paid by Teva to MDCO.  
6.8.    Inspection Costs.  MDCO shall be solely responsible for its costs in making any such review and audit, unless MDCO identifies a discrepancy in the calculation of royalties paid to MDCO under this Agreement in any calendar year from those properly payable for that calendar year of [**] percent ([**]%) or greater, in which event Teva shall be solely responsible for the cost of such review and audit and shall pay MDCO any payment due.  All information disclosed by Teva or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 6 shall be deemed Confidential Information.
6.9.    Payment Method.  All payments to be made by Teva to MDCO under this Agreement shall be in United States dollars in immediately available funds and shall be made by wire transfer to the account designated by MDCO, such account to be designated by MDCO at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date any such payment is due.
6.10.    Late Payments. In addition to any other rights and remedies, in the event payments required to be made under this Agreement are not made on or prior to the required payment date, the amount of the late payment shall bear interest at the lesser of [**] percent ([**]%) above the prime rate reported in The Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) on the date such payment was due and the maximum permissible rate under the Law commencing on the 





date such payment is due until such date as the payment is made.
6.11.    Taxes.  MDCO shall be responsible for and shall pay all taxes payable on any income or any payments by Teva to MDCO.  Teva and MDCO shall bear sole responsibility for payment of compensation to their respective personnel, employees or subcontractors and for all employment taxes and withholding with respect to such compensation pursuant to Applicable Law.  Teva shall have the right to withhold taxes in the event that the revenue authorities in any country require the withholding of taxes on amounts paid hereunder to MDCO.  Teva shall secure and promptly send to MDCO proof of such taxes, duties or other levies withheld and paid by Teva for the benefit of MDCO.  Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in claiming exemptions from such deductions or withholdings under any agreement or treaty from time to time in effect.
7.    Confidentiality
7.1.    Confidentiality Obligation.  The Parties and their respective employees, directors, officers, consultants and contractors shall keep and maintain as confidential any Confidential Information supplied by the other Party during the Term.  The confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations contained in this Agreement shall not apply to the extent that, evidenced by written records or similar proof, such Confidential Information is:
7.1.1    at the time of disclosure by one Party to the other, in the public domain or otherwise publicly known;
7.1.2    after disclosure by one Party to the other becomes part of the public domain, other than by breach by a Party of any obligation of confidentiality;
7.1.3    information which the receiving Party can establish by competent evidence was already in its possession at the time of receipt or was independently developed by the receiving Party; or
7.1.4    received from a Third Party who was lawfully entitled to disclose such information free of an obligation of confidentiality.
7.2.    Exceptions.  Notwithstanding Section 7.1, in addition to any disclosure allowed under Section 13.5 the Party receiving Confidential Information may disclose such Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure has been ordered by a court of law or directed by a Governmental Authority, provided that, the disclosure is limited to the extent ordered or directed and wherever practicable, the Party that owns the Confidential Information has been given sufficient written notice in advance to enable it to seek protection or confidential treatment of such Confidential Information.
7.3.    Expiration of Confidentiality.  The confidentiality obligation contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination or expiry of this Agreement for so long as such information remains confidential.





7.4.    Disclosure.  If a Party is subpoenaed or otherwise requested by any Person, including any Governmental Authority, to give testimony or provide information which in any way relates to this Agreement, the Teva Product or practices associated with the Teva Product, such Party shall give the other Party prompt notice of such request, and unless otherwise required by Law, shall make no disclosure until such other Party has had a reasonable opportunity to contest the right of the requesting Person to such disclosure.  The Parties shall provide each other with all reasonable cooperation and generally make its employees available to give testimony or to provide reasonable assistance in connection with any lawsuits, claims, proceedings and investigations relating to this Agreement, the Teva Product or practices associated with the Teva Product.  
7.5.    Enforcement.  The Parties agree that equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, is appropriate in enforcing the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. In the event of any such action to construe this provision, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover, in addition to any charges fixed by the court, its costs and expenses of suit, including reasonable attorney’s fees.  Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this provision, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.
8.    Representations and Warranties of Parties
MDCO represents and warrants to Teva that MDCO possess the rights and authority to grant the License and Authorization to Teva and its Affiliates under this Agreement, and Teva represents and warrants to MDCO that Teva possess the rights and authority to grant MDCO the license and associated rights set forth in Section 4, and with respect to Sections 8.1 and 8.2 below, each of MDCO and Teva represents, warrants, and covenants, to the other Party that:
8.1.    Organization and Authority.

Such Party has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement.  Such Party has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder.

impair such Party’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.1.    Indemnity by MDCO.  MDCO shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of Teva and its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees and contractors (“Teva Party”) from and against any and all Losses, (“MDCO Liability”) arising from or in connection with:
9.1.1    any Claim resulting from any negligent acts or acts of willful misconduct of any MDCO Party in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; or
9.1.2    the breach by MDCO of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; 
except, in each case, to the extent that the MDCO Liability is caused by the negligence, breach of the terms of this Agreement, or willful misconduct of a Teva Party.
9.2.    Indemnity by Teva.  Teva shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of MDCO and its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees and contractors (“MDCO Party”) from and against any and all Losses (“Teva Liability”) arising from or in connection with:
9.2.1    any Claim resulting from any negligent acts or acts of willful misconduct of any Teva Party in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; 





9.2.2    any Claim based on or arising out of the use, Manufacturing, Labeling, Packaging or Marketing of Teva Product, including, any investigation by a Governmental Authority or any claim for personal injury or property damage asserted by any user of Teva Product; or
9.2.3    the breach by Teva of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement. 
except, in each case, to the extent that Teva’s Liability is caused by the negligence, breach of the terms of this Agreement, or willful misconduct of a MDCO Party.
9.3.    Control of Proceedings.  A Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall provide prompt written notice to the other Party (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days) of the assertion of any claim against such Party as to which indemnity is to be requested hereunder.  The indemnifying Party shall have the sole control over the defense of any Claim, provided that, the indemnifying Party shall obtain the written consent of the indemnified Party prior to settling or otherwise disposing of such Claim if as a result of the settlement or Claim disposal the indemnified Party’s interests are in any way adversely affected.
9.4.    No Admissions.  The indemnified Party shall not make any payment or incur any expenses in connection with any Teva Liability or MDCO Liability (as the case may be), or make any admissions or do anything that may compromise or prejudice the defense of any Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party.
9.5.    Claim Information.  Each Party shall promptly:
9.5.1    inform the other by written notice of any actual or threatened Claim to which Sections 9.1 or 9.2 apply;
9.5.2    provide to the other Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any such Claim; and 
9.5.3    cooperate as reasonably requested by the other Party in the defense of any such Claim.
9.6.    Limitation of Liability.  Except as may be included in a Claim under Section 9.1, 9.2 or 9.8, or a breach by any Party of Section 3 or Section 13.5, in no event shall any Party or its Affiliates be liable for special, punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage (including lost profits or revenues associated with MDCO’s breach of its AG Product supply obligations) based on contract, tort or any other legal theory arising out of this Agreement.
9.7.    Product Liability Insurance.  Each Party shall maintain, at its own cost, general commercial liability insurance (including comprehensive product liability) in such amount as MDCO and Teva, respectively, customarily maintain with respect to its other products and which is reasonable and customary in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry for companies of 





comparable size and activities but in any event not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 in the aggregate.  In the event the insurance policy obtained by a Party is a “claims made” policy (as opposed to an “occurrence” policy), such Party shall obtain comparable insurance for not less than six (6) years following the expiry or termination of this Agreement.
9.8.    Irreparable Harm.  Teva acknowledges that in the event of a Launch by Teva of Teva Product in the Territory other than as permitted under this Agreement or a breach of Section 3.10, the damages to MDCO and its business (including, but not limited to, lost sales of Angiomax) would be difficult to calculate and the adequacy of monetary damages calculated at Law would be uncertain.  Accordingly, Teva agrees that in any action by MDCO seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with any such Launch other than as permitted under this Agreement or a breach of Section 3.10, Teva shall not assert or plead the availability of an adequate remedy at Law as a defense to the obtaining of any such remedy.  Teva hereby waives any equitable defense to such injunction including, laches, unclean hands, acquiescence or any estoppel arguments.  The foregoing shall not be in lieu of any other remedy to which MDCO may be entitled hereunder in equity or at Law as a result of such a breach and the Parties agree that lost profits resulting from lost sales by MDCO of Angiomax are a reasonably foreseeable element of damages which MDCO would suffer and to which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, MDCO will be entitled to recover in accordance with the Law.
9.9.    Limitation on Representations, Warranties and Indemnification.  NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE DEEMED TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN.  ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY EACH PARTY.
10.    Force Majeure
10.1.    Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement or shall be liable to the other under this Agreement for loss or damages attributable to any Force Majeure, provided the Party affected shall give prompt notice thereof to the other Party.  Subject to Section 10.2, the Party giving such notice shall be excused from such of its obligations hereunder for so long as it continues to be affected by Force Majeure.
10.2.    Continued Force Majeure. If any Force Majeure continues unabated for a period of at least ninety (90) days, the Parties shall meet to discuss in good faith what actions to take or what modifications should be made to this Agreement as a consequence of such Force Majeure in order to alleviate its consequences on the affected Party. 
11.    Trademarks and Trade Names
11.1.    Except as may appear on the AG Product vials, Labeling and Packaging, Teva shall have no right to use any trademark or tradedress of MDCO and shall have no rights to any other intellectual property of MDCO or its Affiliates other than to the extent of the License 





and Authorization.
12.    Term and Termination
12.1.    Term.  Unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, the term of this Agreement shall extend from the Effective Date until the expiration of all of the MDCO’s Patents (the “Term”).
12.2.    Termination.  In addition to MDCO’s right to immediately terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 3, either Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other if:
12.2.1    the other Party commits a material breach of this Agreement, and fails to remedy it within sixty (60) days of receipt of notice from the first Party of such breach and of its intention to exercise its rights under this Section 12.2; or 
12.2.2    an order is made or a resolution is passed for the winding up of the other Party (other than voluntarily for the purposes of solvent amalgamation or reconstruction) or an order is made for the appointment of an administrator to manage the other Party's affairs, business and property or if a receiver (which expression shall include an administrative receiver) is appointed over any of the other Party's assets or undertaking or if circumstances arise which entitle the court or a creditor to appoint a receiver or manager or which entitle the court to make a winding-up order or if a voluntary arrangement is proposed in respect of the other Party or if the other Party takes or suffers any similar or analogous action in consequence of debt, and such order, appointment or similar action is not removed within ninety (90) days. 
12.3.    Effect of Termination.  In the event of expiry or termination of this Agreement for any reason, each Party shall promptly return all Confidential Information of the other Party provided during the Term or destroy and certify the destruction of such Confidential Information. 
12.4.    Liability on Termination.  The termination or expiry of this Agreement shall not release either of the Parties from any liability which at the time of termination or expiry has already accrued to the other Party, nor affect in any way the survival of any other right, duty or obligation of the Parties which is expressly stated elsewhere in this Agreement to survive such termination or expiry.
12.5.    Surviving Sections.  The provisions of Sections 1, 3.6, 6.5 through 6.11, 7, 8, 9, and 13 shall continue in force in accordance with their respective terms notwithstanding expiry or termination of this Agreement for any reason.  In addition, except in the event that Teva has violated the Consent Judgment or has materially breached this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement, the Covenant Not to Sue and the final paragraph of Section 3.11 shall survive termination or earlier expiration of this Agreement.

13.5.    Public Announcements.  The terms of the Settlement Documents and the negotiations of the Parties pertaining to them, shall be maintained in confidence by the Parties.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Party or its counsel shall provide discovery (including without limitation documents, oral testimony and/or statements whether by deposition or otherwise, the work of outside experts or consultants, or work product embodying any of the above) to any Third Party in any judicial or arbitral proceeding in the Territory pertaining to the Settlement Documents.  Notwithstanding these obligations, (i) a Party may issue a press release with the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent to be at the sole discretion of such other Party); (ii)  MDCO may issue a press release in the form attached hereto as Schedule 13.5; (iii) either Party may disclose such terms or discovery as otherwise required by court order, provided that the other Party shall be given the opportunity to (a) review and comment on the proposed disclosure reasonably in advance of the disclosure, and (b) quash such order and to obtain a protective order requiring that the information and documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court; (iv) MDCO may disclose (a) to a Third Party (a “Settling Party”) the terms set forth in Sections 2 and 6 (along with the defined terms in Section 1 referenced in those provisions) that trigger a most favored nations provision in a settlement relating to the Litigated Patents, the ‘404 patent, or the MDCO Product between MDCO and such Settling Party, provided that such disclosure is solely for purposes of establishing whether and to what extent such a most favored nations provision has been triggered and such Settling Party has agreed in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such terms of the Settlement Documents and not to use such terms other than in connection with such purpose and no other purpose, and (b) to a person unaffiliated with such Settling Party and acceptable to MDCO Sections 2 and 6 (along with the defined terms in Section 1 referenced in those provisions) solely to assess the applicability of the most favored nations provision to the terms disclosed to such Settling Party, provided that such unaffiliated person has agreed in writing to maintain the confidentiality of the Settlement Documents and not to use such terms other than in connection with such assessment and no other purpose; (v) either Party may disclose such terms to such Party’s actual and prospective investors and lenders, attorneys, accountants, and FDA consultants on a need-to-know basis and who have agreed in writing and in advance to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with the confidentiality provisions set forth herein; (vi) Teva may disclose such terms to the FDA as may be necessary or useful in obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval of the Teva ANDA and Launching the Teva Product as provided by the License Agreement, so long as Teva requests that the FDA maintain such terms in confidence, and (vii) Teva may disclose such terms to its manufacturers and customers in accordance with Teva’s exercise of its pre-Launch rights set forth in Sections 2.1 and 3.1 and (viii) either Party may disclose such terms as otherwise required by Law, including without

13.6.    Superiority of Agreement.  The Parties agree that this Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and writings of the Parties, and that the provisions of this Agreement, together with any amendments hereto, shall prevail over any inconsistent statements or provisions contained in any prior discussions, arrangements or comments between the Parties and in any documents passing between the Parties, including, any forecast, purchase order, purchase order revision, acknowledgment, confirmation or notice.

DRAFT, NOT FOR RELEASE:


The Medicines Company Settles Angiomax® (bIVALIRUDIN) Patent LitigationS with Teva
Parsippany, N.J., October __, 2011— The Medicines Company (NASDAQ: MDCO) today announced that it has settled the lawsuits filed by MDCO in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware relating to the Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) filed by Teva Parenteral Medicines, Inc. and its affiliate, Pliva Hrvatska d.o.o. (collectively “Teva”), for generic versions of Angiomax® (bivalirudin for injection).  The settlement includes a license by MDCO to Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and its affiliates under which Teva may launch a generic bivalirudin product under one of its ANDAs in the U.S. on June 30, 2019.  In certain limited circumstances, MDCO’s license to Teva would become effective prior to June 30, 2019.
As part of the agreement, Teva admits that the two patents asserted in the lawsuits are valid and enforceable against, and would be infringed by, Teva's proposed generic bivalirudin products.  The patents at issue in the litigation are listed in the Orange Book and expire on July 27, 2028. 
MDCO also entered into an agreement with Teva under which Teva will supply bivalirudin active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to MDCO.  This provides an additional source of API to support planned growth of product use.
“This result reflects our continued confidence in the strength of our patents, and we will continue to vigorously defend our intellectual property,” said Dr. Clive Meanwell, Chairman and CEO of The Medicines Company.   “We are delighted to partner with Teva who will provide us needed additional manufacturing capacity and a second source of high quality Angiomax® active ingredient which we can finish, fill and supply to our hospital customers for millions of patients.”
As required by law, MDCO and Teva will submit the agreements to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice.




Background on the litigation now settled.


On September 4, 2009, MDCO announced that it had received a Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letter from Teva notifying MDCO that Teva had submitted ANDAs to the Food and Drug Administration for approval to market generic versions of Angiomax®.  On October 8, 2009 and December 28, 2009, MDCO filed patent infringement lawsuits against the Teva defendants.  The complaints, which were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleged infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,582, 727 and 7,598,343, which expire on July 27, 2028. 



MDCO remains in infringement litigations involving U.S. Patent Nos. 7,582, 727 and 7,598,343 with APP Pharmaceuticals, Hospira, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories.
