ARTICLE 2

Rights and Obligations of the Parties




     Section 2.01. Development Program. Novo Nordisk shall conduct the Development Program in its
sole discretion and at its own expense.



     Section 2.02. Review Committee. The Parties have established a Review Committee (“Review
Committee”). The Review Committee shall



     (a) consist of up to three (3) representatives of each Party, as notified by such Party to the
other Party from time to time in writing. Other non-voting representatives of a Party may attend
each meeting upon the approval of the Review Committee;



     (b) be chaired by a representative of Aradigm from the date hereof until December 31, 2006;
provided that, after such date a representative from Novo Nordisk will chair the
Review Committee from January 1, 2007 until December 31, 2007, and thereafter the Parties will
alternate chairing the Review Committee on a calendar year basis;



     (c) meet periodically (at least once every six (6) months). Meetings shall be convened by the
chairperson with at least thirty (30) calendar days prior



10









 







written notice and such notice shall include an agenda. Either Party may request the
chairperson to call a meeting, but in no event shall any Party request the chairperson to call more
than four (4) meetings per calendar year; and



     (d) have minutes drafted of each meeting by the chairperson and signed by one representative
of each Party.



     Section 2.03. Obligations of the Parties in Respect of the Review Committee. (a) The
Parties agree that during the meetings of the Review Committee at which the semi-annual technology
review required under Section 2.04 shall take place, they shall disclose and provide reasonable
details relating to: (i) intellectual property rights and/or know-how with potential application in
the Field in general and in later generation Packaged Products and Devices in particular; and (ii)
plans, programs, results and ongoing developments that could lead to or result in Aradigm New IPR
or Novo Nordisk New IPR, as applicable, including Aradigm New IPR and Novo Nordisk New IPR relating
to later generation Packaged Products and Devices. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of
Novo Nordisk to disclose and provide reasonable details under this Section 2.03 shall extend only
to plans, programs, results and ongoing developments within the Development Program.



     (b) After Aradigm discloses and provides reasonable details relating to its intellectual
property rights with potential application in the Field in accordance with Section 2.03(a), the
Parties shall discuss and determine in good faith whether or not such intellectual property rights
constitute Aradigm New IPR, Novo Nordisk New IPR or neither. In the event such determination
requires further research and/or development to evaluate the utility of such intellectual property
rights within the Development Program, the Parties shall agree in writing to the scope and design
of such research and/or development activities pursuant to consulting arrangements as contemplated
by Section 2.04(c) below. The Parties shall discuss in good faith and agree whether or not any
knowledge, information, expertise, results, improvements or inventions, whether patentable or not,
and all related intellectual property rights, made or developed by Aradigm solely, Novo Nordisk
solely, or Aradigm and Novo Nordisk jointly arising out of any such further research and/or
development following disclosure of such Aradigm intellectual property rights constitute Aradigm
New IPR, Novo Nordisk New IPR or neither. In the event the Parties determine that the Aradigm
intellectual property rights have applications outside the Development Program or have applications
both inside and outside the Development Program, upon written request by Novo Nordisk to Aradigm,
Aradigm shall in good faith consider granting, but shall have no obligation to grant, a license
under such intellectual property rights to Novo Nordisk for applications outside of the Development
Program on terms to be agreed in writing between the Parties.



     (c) Novo Nordisk shall provide Aradigm with a copy of a presentation relating to any Status
Report to be delivered at a Review Committee meeting at least ten (10) days prior to such Review
Committee meeting.

Marketing of the Insulin Compound Packaged Product and the Device in the United States.




     For purposes of this Section 2.05, any reference to amounts in U.S. dollars to be funded or
expended by Novo Nordisk shall be calculated on a pro rata basis for any calendar year in which
this Agreement is not in full force and effect for the entire calendar year based on the actual
number of days elapsed prior to the end of such calendar year.



     Section 2.06. Use Restrictions. Aradigm shall use Insulin Compounds supplied by Novo
Nordisk, the Novo Nordisk Know-How and the know-how included within Novo Nordisk New IPR only as
provided for in this Agreement. Novo Nordisk shall use the Aradigm Know-How and know-how included
within Aradigm New IPR only as provided for in this Agreement.



     Section 2.07. Alternative Technology. (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Novo
Nordisk shall have the right to develop and commercialize products based on Alternative Technology
for pulmonary delivery of insulin, insulin analogs, and non-insulin compounds within the Field.



     (b) In the event that Novo Nordisk commences clinical trials in humans for any product based
on any Alternative Technology to deliver a non-insulin compound (a “Non-Insulin Compound”), such
Non Insulin Compound will then be excluded from the Field, and Aradigm shall have the right to
research, develop and/or commercialize (directly or through licensees) products based on Aradigm
Patent Rights, Aradigm New IPR and/or Aradigm Know-How to deliver such Non-Insulin Compound or any
compound that is in the same chemical class as such Non-Insulin Compound; provided
that, Aradigm shall not be entitled to any license, including any implied license, under
any patent rights or know-how of Novo Nordisk covering such Non-Insulin Compound. Novo Nordisk
shall notify Aradigm in writing prior to the first dosing of the first patient in the first such
clinical trial, if any.



     (c) Aradigm hereby acknowledges that: (i) subject to the terms of this Agreement, Novo Nordisk
may be simultaneously conducting research and development alone or in collaboration with third
parties on products using an Alternative Technology to deliver insulin and insulin analogs; and
(ii) Novo Nordisk may supply insulin and insulin analogs to third parties free of charge for use in
such third parties’ clinical studies using such third parties’ pulmonary delivery technology in
exchange for rights in such technology in the Field; provided that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that Novo Nordisk is conducting research on and developing any products
using any Alternative Technology to deliver a specific insulin or insulin analog class, Novo
Nordisk shall provide an Alternative Technology Notice to Aradigm of its intention to commence
commercialization of such product at least three (3) years prior to First Marketing of such
product. The Alternative Technology Notice may be withdrawn by Novo Nordisk, without penalty, for a
specific insulin or insulin



13









 







analog class at any time during the twelve (12) months following delivery of the Alternative
Technology Notice.



     (d) From receipt of the Alternative Technology Notice until, if applicable, such notice is
withdrawn as permitted under Section 2.07(c), the license described in Section 3.01 shall become
non-exclusive to the extent necessary to permit Aradigm to discuss the product opportunity with
potential marketing partners, prepare for potential development activities, and/or engage in
exploratory trials, for the delivery of the specific insulin or insulin analog class that is the
subject of such Alternative Technology Notice. In the event that Novo Nordisk has not withdrawn
such Alternative Technology Notice within twelve (12) months as permitted under Section 2.07(c),
the license described in Section 3.01 shall become non-exclusive, and the licenses described in
Section 3.03(b) and Section 3.03(c) shall include the Field, to the extent necessary to enable
Aradigm, alone or in collaboration with one (1) marketing partner, to develop and, from and after
the Alternative Technology Effective Date, to commercialize devices and/or dose packages for the
delivery of the specific insulin or insulin analog class that is the subject of such Alternative
Technology Notice. Thereafter, for each Alternative Technology Notice delivered by Novo Nordisk,
Aradigm may engage one (1) additional marketing partner in accordance with the procedures, for the
purposes, on the timetables and subject to the limitations, set forth in this Section 2.07.
Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, if Novo Nordisk withdraws the Alternative
Technology Notice for a specific insulin or insulin analog class at any time during the twelve (12)
months following delivery of the Alternative Technology Notice, then (i) the license granted under
Section 3.01 shall become exclusive again with respect to the specific insulin or insulin analog
class that is the subject of such withdrawn Alternative Technology Notice and (ii) the licenses
described in Section 3.03(b) and Section 3.03(c) shall exclude the Field again.



     (e) No later than two (2) years after receipt of the Alternative Technology Notice, without
subsequent withdrawal by Novo Nordisk, Aradigm may elect, by notifying Novo Nordisk in writing, to
market, either alone or in collaboration with one (1) marketing partner, an insulin or insulin
analog class that it would have the right to commercialize from and after the Alternative
Technology Effective Date.




     (i) In the event that Aradigm delivers written notice to Novo Nordisk that Aradigm
will not market or fails to deliver any notice regarding its intent to market, either
alone or in collaboration with one (1) marketing partner, an insulin or insulin analog
class that it would have the right to commercialize from and after the Alternative
Technology Effective Date, notwithstanding Section 2.07(d), then the license granted to
Novo Nordisk pursuant to Section 3.01 shall remain exclusive with respect thereto, and (A)
until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the earlier of (I) First Marketing of a Packaged
Product and the Device and (II) First Marketing of any product based on an Alternative
Technology that has been described in the applicable Alternative Technology Notice,
Aradigm



14









 







shall be entitled to a royalty (in accordance with Section 5.01) on the Net Sales by
any member of the Novo Nordisk Affiliate Group, or any permitted sublicensees thereof, of
the product described in the applicable Alternative Technology Notice (whether or not such
product is covered by any Transferred Patent or any Transferred Selected Pulmonary
Delivery Patent); and (B) following the sixth (6th) anniversary of the earlier of (I) and
(II) above, Aradigm shall be entitled to a royalty (in accordance with Section 5.01) on
the Net Sales by any member of the Novo Nordisk Affiliate Group, or any permitted
sublicensees thereof, of (1) any Packaged Product and the Device and (2) any product based
on an Alternative Technology that has been described in the applicable Alternative
Technology Notice to the extent that, and for so long as, such product is covered by any
Transferred Patent or any Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents.




     (ii) In the event that Aradigm delivers written notice to Novo Nordisk that Aradigm
will market, either alone or in collaboration with one (1) marketing partner, any insulin
or insulin analog class similar to the insulin or insulin analog class specified in the
applicable Alternative Technology Notice, then Aradigm shall be entitled to a royalty only
on Net Sales of any Packaged Product and the Device in accordance with Section 5.01 and
shall not be entitled to a royalty on any product based on an Alternative Technology that
has been described in such Alternative Technology Notice.



     (f) To the extent that Novo Nordisk obtains Regulatory Approval of any product using any
Alternative Technology prior to the expiration of three (3) years following delivery of an
Alternative Technology Notice for such product to Aradigm pursuant to Section 2.07(c), Aradigm and
Novo Nordisk agree to negotiate in good faith regarding the potential for Novo Nordisk to commence
First Marketing of such product using any Alternative Technology prior to the expiration of such
three (3) year period; provided that, nothing in this Section 2.07(f) shall serve
to limit in any way Aradigm’s rights or obligations hereunder or to provide Novo Nordisk with a
right to commence First Marketing of any product using any Alternative Technology until the
expiration of three (3) years following delivery of the Alternative Technology Notice for such
product to Aradigm pursuant to Section 2.07(c).



     Section 2.08. Noncompetition. For so long as the license granted to Novo Nordisk under
Section 3.01 is exclusive in the Field, except for activities and agreements otherwise expressly
permitted under this Agreement, Aradigm shall be prohibited from entering into any agreement with
any third party with respect to any activities within the Field, and shall not conduct any work
program in the Field with Insulin Compound or any other Program Compound provided by any third
party supplier without the prior written consent of Novo Nordisk.



15









 





     Section 2.09. Product Liability. Subject to the terms of this Section 2.09, product
liabilities that are incurred prior to the first Regulatory Submission will be allocated between
the Parties based on the fault or relative fault of the Parties. If negligence or fault cannot be
so determined or allocated, then such liability shall be borne 80% by Novo Nordisk and 20% by
Aradigm. Until the first Regulatory Submission, Aradigm shall be responsible for product liability
to the extent such liability is attributable to: (a) any failure by Aradigm prior to the Original
Effective Date to manufacture the Packaged Product and/or the Device in accordance with applicable
standards and practices; (b) defects or flaws in design that are caused by Aradigm until the
subsystem of the Packaged Product and/or Device as to which any such defect or flaw in design
relates shall have been validated and verified by Novo Nordisk; or (c) Aradigm’s negligence.
Following the first Regulatory Submission, Novo Nordisk shall assume responsibility for all product
liability arising out of the conduct of the Development Program and the practice by any member of
the Novo Nordisk Affiliate Group of the licenses granted to Novo Nordisk in this Agreement and
Aradigm shall have no responsibility for any product liability arising out of the practice by any
agent or permitted sublicensees of any member of the Novo Nordisk Affiliate Group of the licenses
granted to Novo Nordisk in this Agreement.

Sales thereof (if any) by any member of the Novo Nordisk Affiliate Group or any permitted
sublicensees thereof in excess of the applicable Baseline for such year; or



18









 






     (ii) in the event that the First Marketed Product and Device is any Packaged Product

Aradigm five percent (5.00%) of such Net Sales of such Insulin Compound Packaged Product and the
Device up to and including the applicable Baseline in such year plus five and three-tenths percent
(5.30%) of Net Sales (if any) of such Insulin Compound Packaged Product and the Device in excess of
the applicable Baseline in such year.



     Section 5.02. Royalty Payments Schedule. Payments due in accordance with Section 5.01 and
any royalty payments due under Articles 2 and 10 shall be payable within forty-five (45) days after
January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each calendar year in which such royalties are due
under this Agreement. The Party with a royalty payment obligation hereunder shall provide the other
Party with a reconciliation report in a form to be agreed between the Parties showing the
calculation of Net Sales for each calendar year within seventy-five (75) days after the end of such
year. In the event that a reconciliation report demonstrates that a Party (the “Royalty Paying
Party”) shall have paid an amount in excess of or less than the royalty payments due under Section
5.01 or Articles 2 or 10, as the case may be, then the other Party (the “Royalty Receiving Party”)
shall pay to the Royalty Paying Party such excess amount, or the Royalty Paying Party shall



19









 







pay to the Royalty Receiving Party the difference between the amount otherwise due hereunder
and the amount such Royalty Paying Party shall have paid in accordance with the first sentence of
this Section 5.02, as the case may be.



     Section 5.03. Additional Royalty Provisions. (a) Any reference to “royalty-bearing” or to a
“royalty” shall mean, unless otherwise expressly established in this Agreement, a royalty or other
compensation that will be negotiated in good faith between the Parties in respect of the applicable
patent(s) included within the licensed intellectual property rights. Each such royalty will be
agreed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the non-exclusive or exclusive term, the
importance of the originator’s invention and the strength and commercial importance of the
applicable intellectual property rights (including the effect of any trade secret status of any
Aradigm Know-How or Novo Nordisk Know-How, as the case may be). Additionally, the payment
schedules, audit and other provisions of this Article 5 shall apply to the extent practicable,
unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing.



     (b) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall either Aradigm pay a royalty to Novo Nordisk
or Novo Nordisk pay a royalty to Aradigm, respectively, for Novo Nordisk New IPR or Aradigm New
IPR, respectively, if such Novo Nordisk New IPR or Aradigm New IPR, respectively, is Made Jointly.



     (c) Following the expiration of the last to expire of the Aradigm Patent Rights, the
Transferred Patents, the Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents and patents included in
the Aradigm New IPR, if: (i) Novo Nordisk experiences a material reduction in the gross margins of
products bearing royalties under this Agreement in the United States, any member state of the
European Union and/or Japan as a result of pricing actions by competitors who, had such patents not
expired, would be infringing one (1) or more of the Aradigm Patent Rights, the Transferred Patents,
the Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents or patents included in the Aradigm New IPR; and
(ii) Novo Nordisk is in compliance with all of its material obligations under this Agreement at the
time of such material reduction in gross margins, then Novo Nordisk may request a reduction in the
applicable royalty rates hereunder for the specific geographic area (whether the United States, any
member state of the European Union and/or Japan). Within sixty (60) days of such request, the
Parties will meet to review Novo Nordisk’s financial and marketing information pertinent to such
request and to negotiate and agree on a reduction in the royalty rates hereunder that is
proportionate to the reduction in gross margins experienced by Novo Nordisk or that otherwise
fairly reflects the diminished value of the applicable products to Novo Nordisk.



     Section 5.04. Record Keeping. Each Party shall maintain, for a period of three (3) years
following the last day of the year to which such records and other financial information relate,
complete and correct records of Net Sales and other financial information that it deems necessary
to determine such Net Sales and



20









 







shall report such information as it deems relevant along with each royalty payment made to the
other Party in accordance with this Article 5.



     Section 5.05. Audit Right. (a) Aradigm may, no more than once in respect of each calendar
year, at Aradigm’s expense, appoint an independent auditor (the “Independent Auditor”) reasonably
acceptable to Novo Nordisk to review the payments made by Novo Nordisk to Aradigm in accordance
with the provisions set forth in Articles 2, 5 and 10 in such calendar year. In the event the
Independent Auditor determines that additional amounts are due to Aradigm, Novo Nordisk shall pay
such additional amounts to Aradigm and, to the extent that such additional amounts represent at
least five percent (5.00%) of the total amounts paid to Aradigm under Section 5.02 in respect of
such calendar year, shall reimburse Aradigm for the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor.
In the event the Independent Auditor determines that additional amounts are due to Aradigm
representing less than five percent (5.00%) of the total amounts paid to Aradigm under Section 5.02
in any calendar year, then Novo Nordisk shall have no obligation to reimburse Aradigm for the fees
and expenses of the Independent Auditor.



     (b) Novo Nordisk may, no more than once in respect of each calendar year, at Novo Nordisk’s
expense, appoint an Independent Auditor reasonably acceptable to Aradigm to review the payments

amounts are due to Novo Nordisk, Aradigm shall pay such additional amounts to Novo Nordisk and, to
the extent that such additional amounts represent at least five percent (5.00%) of the total
amounts paid to Novo Nordisk under Section 5.02 in respect of such calendar year, shall reimburse
Novo Nordisk for the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor. In the event the Independent
Auditor determines that additional amounts representing less than five percent (5.00%) of the total
amounts paid to Novo Nordisk under Section 5.02 in any calendar year are due to Novo Nordisk, then
Aradigm shall have no obligation to reimburse Novo Nordisk for the fees and expenses of the
Independent Auditor.



     Section 5.06. Withholding Taxes. Under no circumstances shall either Party be required to
pay any amount in excess of or in addition to the payments agreed under this Agreement. If any
payment made by either Party under this Agreement is subject to withholding tax, such withholding
tax shall be borne by the other Party and shall be deducted from any such payments made. Each Party
shall support the other Party in its efforts of minimizing any such withholding taxes and
reasonably provide such other Party with relevant information about documentation needed to reduce
the withholding tax to a legal minimum or to secure applicable credits in respect thereof.



     Section 5.07. Currency. Payments under this Agreement in respect of Net Sales made, and
amounts expended, in currencies other than U.S. dollars shall be calculated on the average daily
exchange rate for the applicable year-to-date

Intellectual Property




     Section 6.01. Aradigm Intellectual Property Rights. (a) Except as provided in this Article
6, Aradigm shall remain the sole owner of all Aradigm Background IPR, Aradigm Patent Rights,
Aradigm Know-How and Aradigm New IPR and shall use Diligent Efforts to maintain and defend such
Aradigm Background IPR, Aradigm Patent Rights, Aradigm Know-How and Aradigm New IPR.



     (b) Aradigm shall be responsible for filing, maintaining and defending any patents filed based
on Aradigm Background IPR and will timely inform Novo Nordisk of its intentions, activities and
filings in this respect. Aradigm will grant Novo Nordisk a perpetual, world-wide, non-exclusive,
royalty-free license under the Aradigm Background IPR, to develop, manufacture, use, market,
distribute, sell, offer for sale, have made, import and/or export any product outside the field of
pulmonary delivery, with the right to sublicense. Should Aradigm decide not to patent an invention
included in the Aradigm Background IPR in any country, or should Aradigm decide to abandon any such
patent or patent application in any country, then Novo Nordisk shall have the right to do so at its
expense. In such case, Novo Nordisk shall in its sole discretion have the option of becoming the
owner thereof or, in the alternative, an exclusive licensee thereof pursuant to Section 6.06. If
Novo Nordisk elects to become the owner of any patent or patent application based on such Aradigm
Background IPR, Novo Nordisk shall grant Aradigm a royalty-free license thereunder to develop,
manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have made, import and/or export any
product for the life of the patent (and such license shall be limited to products outside the Field
for so long as Novo Nordisk’s license under Section 3.01 remains exclusive as to any Aradigm Patent
Right and, thereafter, outside and inside the Field), with the right to sublicense.



     Section 6.02. Novo Nordisk Intellectual Property Rights. (a) Except as provided in this
Article 6, Novo Nordisk shall remain the sole owner of all Novo Nordisk Background IPR, Novo
Nordisk Patent Rights, Novo Nordisk Know-How, Novo Nordisk New IPR, the Transferred Patents and the

the Novo Nordisk Background IPR (to the extent such Novo Nordisk Background IPR relates to the
Insulin Compound), to develop, manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have
made, import and/or export any product outside the Field, with the right to sublicense. Should Novo
Nordisk decide not to patent an invention included in the Novo Nordisk Background IPR in any
country, or should Novo Nordisk decide to abandon any such patent or patent application in any
country, then Aradigm shall have the right to do so at its expense. In such case, Aradigm shall in
its sole discretion have the option of becoming the owner thereof or, in the alternative, an
exclusive licensee thereof pursuant to Section 6.06. If Aradigm elects to become the owner of any
patent or patent application based on such Novo Nordisk Background IPR, Aradigm shall grant Novo
Nordisk a royalty-free license thereunder to develop, manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell,
offer for sale, have made, import and/or export any product within the Field, with the right to
sublicense.



     (c) Novo Nordisk shall be responsible for filing, maintaining and defending any patents filed
based on Transferred Patents and Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents and will timely
inform Aradigm of its intentions, activities and filings in this respect and provide Aradigm with
copies of all substantive communications between Novo Nordisk and the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (or any other relevant patent authority). Furthermore, Novo Nordisk shall provide
Aradigm with a reasonable opportunity to comment on proposed strategies and responses relating to
such prosecution. Should Novo Nordisk decide not to patent an invention included in the
Transferred Patents or the Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents in the European Union,
the United States, Japan or Australia, or should Novo Nordisk decide to abandon any such patent or
patent application in the European Union, the United States, Japan or Australia, then Aradigm shall
in its sole discretion have the option of becoming the owner thereof or, in the alternative, an
exclusive licensee thereof pursuant to Section 6.06. If Aradigm elects to become the owner of any
such patent or patent application, Aradigm shall grant Novo Nordisk a royalty-bearing license
thereunder to develop, manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have made,
import and/or export any product within the Field, with the right to sublicense.



     Section 6.03. Notice by Aradigm. (a) During the term of this Agreement, Aradigm shall
provide written notice to Novo Nordisk of any results, improvements or inventions relevant to the
Field prior to public disclosure of such results, improvements or inventions in order to enable
Novo Nordisk to determine, upon consultation with Aradigm, the best method of protecting such
results, improvements or inventions.



     (b) Aradigm shall provide periodically, but no less than twice per calendar year, to Novo
Nordisk a list of results, improvements or inventions made by Aradigm relevant to the Field
(including without limitation changes to the manufacturing process).

     (c) Aradigm shall provide reasonable access to its employees, contractors and suppliers to
enable Novo Nordisk to perform intellectual property audits once per calendar year to ensure that
adequate protection is sought and maintained for intellectual property developed by Aradigm within
the Field or relevant to the Field. In the event that Novo Nordisk determines, as a result of its
intellectual property audit or otherwise, that patent applications should be filed in any country,
Novo Nordisk shall request Aradigm to pursue such patent applications; provided
that, to the extent that Aradigm reasonably refuses such request, and solely with respect
to any Aradigm New IPR under which Novo Nordisk is licensed pursuant to Section 3.01, Novo Nordisk
shall have the right to file any such patent applications. In such case, Novo Nordisk shall in its
sole discretion have the option of becoming the owner thereof or, in the alternative, an exclusive
licensee thereof pursuant to Section 6.06. If Novo Nordisk elects to become the owner of any patent
or patent application based on such Aradigm Background IPR, Novo Nordisk shall grant Aradigm a
royalty-free license thereunder to develop, manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for
sale, have made, import and/or export any product for the life of the patent (provided that, such
license shall be limited to products outside the Field for so long as Novo Nordisk’s license under
Section 3.01 remains exclusive as to any Aradigm Patent Right and thereafter, outside and inside
the Field), with the right to sublicense. Aradigm shall use its Diligent Efforts to cause its
employees and contractors to assist in prosecuting any patent applications requested by Novo
Nordisk in accordance with this Section 6.03(c).



     (d) Novo Nordisk shall be entitled to bring or enter any litigation in the defense and
enforcement of any patents filed by Novo Nordisk following Aradigm’s abandonment of such patent or
patent application as contemplated in Section 6.01(b), Section 6.02(b) or Section 6.03(c) in
respect of the activities of any infringer thereof in the Field or any patents licensed exclusively
to Novo Nordisk under Section 6.06. Aradigm agrees to be joined as a party, and Novo Nordisk agrees
to pay Aradigm’s reasonable litigation costs.



     Section 6.04. Notice by Novo Nordisk. (a) During the term of this Agreement, Novo Nordisk
shall provide written notice to Aradigm of any results, improvements or inventions relevant to the
Development Program (other than any results, improvements or inventions relevant to formulation of
compounds or to the interactions between materials and formulation of compounds) prior to public
disclosure of such results, improvements or inventions to enable Aradigm to determine, upon
consultation with Novo Nordisk, the best method of protecting the results, improvements or
inventions.



     (b) Novo Nordisk shall provide periodically, but no less than twice per calendar year, to
Aradigm a list of results, improvements or inventions made by Novo Nordisk relevant to the
Development Program (other than any results, improvements or inventions relating to formulation of
compounds or to the interactions between materials and formulation of compounds).



24









 





     (c) Novo Nordisk shall provide reasonable access to its employees, contractors and suppliers
who are (or have been within one (1) year of the time at which such access is requested by Aradigm)
working on the Development Program to enable Aradigm to perform intellectual property audits once
per calendar year to ensure that adequate protection is sought and maintained for intellectual
property developed by Novo Nordisk relevant to the Development Program (other than any results,
improvements or inventions relating to formulation of compounds or to the interactions between
materials and formulation of compounds). In the event that Aradigm determines, as a result of its
intellectual property audit or otherwise, that patent applications should be filed in any country,
Aradigm shall request Novo Nordisk to pursue such patent applications; provided
that, to the extent that Novo Nordisk reasonably refuses such request, and solely with
respect to any Novo Nordisk New IPR licensed under Section 3.03(b) and (d), Aradigm shall have the
right to file any such patent applications. In such case, Aradigm shall in its sole discretion have
the option of becoming the owner thereof or, in the alternative, an exclusive licensee thereof
pursuant to Section 6.06. If Aradigm elects to become the owner of any such patent application,
Aradigm shall grant Novo Nordisk a world-wide, nonexclusive, royalty-free license thereunder to
develop, manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have made, import and/or
export any product within the Field, with the right to sublicense. Novo Nordisk shall use its
Diligent Efforts to cause its employees and contractors to assist in prosecuting any patent
applications requested by Aradigm in accordance with this Section 6.04(c).



     (d) Aradigm shall be entitled to bring or enter any litigation in the defense and enforcement
of any patents filed by Aradigm following Novo Nordisk’s abandonment of such patent or patent
application as contemplated in Section 6.02(b) or Section 6.04(c) in respect of the activities of
any infringer thereof outside the Field or any patents licensed exclusively to Aradigm under
Section 6.06. Novo Nordisk agrees to be joined as a party, and Aradigm agrees to pay Novo Nordisk’s
reasonable litigation costs.



     Section 6.05. Pursuit of Patents. (a) The Parties agree that Aradigm’s counsel shall
continue to file, prosecute and maintain all Aradigm Background IPR, Aradigm Patent Rights and
Aradigm New IPR that are in each case in the Field. Aradigm shall keep Novo Nordisk reasonably
informed of the progress of the applications and shall provide Novo Nordisk with copies of all
substantive communications between Aradigm and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (or
any other relevant patent authority). Furthermore, Aradigm shall provide Novo Nordisk with a
reasonable opportunity to comment on proposed strategies and responses relating to such prosecution
in the Field prior to their implementation by Aradigm’s counsel.



     (b) Aradigm’s costs for preparing, filing and prosecuting additional patent applications in
respect of patents included within Aradigm Background IPR pursuant to Section 6.05(a), and the
costs of maintaining any patents that may issue from such applications, shall be shared equally
(i.e., 50/50) between Novo



25









 







Nordisk and Aradigm. In the event that one (1) or more patents that are part of the Aradigm
Background IPR serve as the basis for recovery of damages or other monetary award pursuant to a
suit, action or proceeding under Section 7.02, then any amounts received by either Party from such
recovery or award shall first be used to reimburse Aradigm and Novo Nordisk for their respective
expenses related to the suit, action or proceeding, then to reimburse the Parties for the
preparation, prosecution and maintenance costs of such patents or patent applications (to the
extent incurred pursuant to this Section 6.05(b) and not previously reimbursed), and after such
reimbursement any additional amounts shall be shared 1:2 by Aradigm and Novo Nordisk respectively.
Further, if Aradigm licenses such patents outside the Field, or obtains damages or other recovery
by enforcing such patents outside the Field, then, after Aradigm has recovered its duly documented
internal and external costs of enforcing such patents, 50% of the amount of license fees reasonably
allocable to the licensing of such patents, and 50% of the amount of such damages or other
recovery, shall be paid to Novo Nordisk until such time as Novo Nordisk has received an amount
equal to the amount of the costs of preparing, filing and maintaining such patents (and respective
applications) that were paid by Novo Nordisk hereunder, and were not previously otherwise
reimbursed.



     (c) In the event that Novo Nordisk does not agree that a particular patent application should
be prepared, filed or prosecuted pursuant to Section 6.05(a), Aradigm’s costs for preparing and
prosecuting such application, and the costs of maintaining any patents that may issue from such
application, shall be the sole responsibility of Aradigm; and any amounts received by Aradigm
resulting from the granting of licenses and/or recovery of damages or other monetary awards shall
belong to Aradigm. Should Aradigm decide to abandon any patent application or patent that is filed,
prosecuted or maintained pursuant to this Section 6.05, Novo Nordisk shall in its sole discretion
have the option of becoming the owner thereof or, in the alternative, an exclusive licensee thereof
pursuant to Section 6.06. If Novo Nordisk elects to become the owner of any patent or patent
application, Novo Nordisk shall grant Aradigm a royalty-free license thereunder to develop,
manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have made, import and/or export any
product for the life of the patent (provided that, such license shall be limited to products
outside the Field for so long as Novo Nordisk’s license under Section 3.01 remains exclusive as to
any Aradigm Patent Right and thereafter, outside and inside the Field), with the right to
sublicense.



     Section 6.06. License Option in Lieu of Ownership. In each case in which a Party has the
right pursuant to this Article 6 of becoming the owner of a patent or patent application that the
other Party has refused to file or otherwise decided to abandon, the Party having such right may
elect (in its sole discretion and by notifying the other Party in writing) to become the exclusive
licensee thereof rather than becoming the owner. If this election is made, then: (a) the electing
Party will prepare, file, prosecute and/or maintain (as applicable) such patent application or
patent at the electing Party’s direction and sole expense; (b) the



26









 







non-electing Party shall, and hereby does, grant the electing Party a worldwide, exclusive,
royalty-free license under such patent application or patent, where the scope and duration of such
license will be equivalent to the scope and duration of rights such electing Party would have had
if it became the owner of such patent application or patent under the applicable section of this
Article 6; and (c) the non-electing Party shall continue to own such patent application or patent
and shall retain for itself the same rights to the extent it would have been granted in the form of
a non-exclusive license, with a right to sublicense, had the electing Party become the owner of
such patent or patent application under the applicable section of this Article 6.



ARTICLE 7

Patent Cooperation




     Section 7.01. Enforcement of Patent Rights. (a) If Aradigm or Novo Nordisk, as the case may
be, becomes aware of (i) an actual or potential infringement of any of the Patent Rights,
Transferred Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents by a third party practicing
in the Field or an actual or potential infringement of Aradigm Patent Rights, Transferred Patents,
Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents or patent rights under the Aradigm New IPR by a
third party practicing outside the Field, or (ii) the fact that a third party practicing inside or
outside the Field is challenging the enforceability or validity of any of the Patent Rights,
Transferred Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents, Aradigm or Novo Nordisk, as
the case may be, shall so notify Novo Nordisk or Aradigm, as the case may be, in writing within
fifteen (15) days. The notice shall set forth the relevant facts (to the extent known by the
notifying Party) in reasonable detail.



     (b) If Aradigm or Novo Nordisk, as the case may be, is served by a third party with legal
process initiating any proceeding alleging (i) non-infringement of any Patent Rights, Transferred
Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents by such third party practicing inside or
outside the Field, (ii) that such third party practicing inside or outside the Field is challenging
the enforceability or validity of any Patent Rights, Transferred Patents or Transferred Selected
Pulmonary Delivery Patents or (iii) anything that would adversely affect the other Party’s rights
under this Agreement, including allegations of co-ownership, coinventorship, or implied or explicit
license, Aradigm or Novo Nordisk, as the case may be, shall so notify Novo Nordisk or Aradigm, as
the case may be, in writing within five (5) days.



     Section 7.02. Initiation of Action Relating to Patents. (a) With respect to (i) Aradigm
Patent Rights or Aradigm New IPR that are licensed exclusively to Novo Nordisk hereunder, except
for those which Novo Nordisk has the option of exclusively licensing under Section 6.06 in lieu of
ownership, when action is deemed necessary or advisable by Novo Nordisk and Aradigm to prevent
infringement of such Aradigm Patent Rights or Aradigm New IPR by a third party



27









 







practicing or making preparations to practice within the Field, to enforce such Aradigm Patent
Rights or Aradigm New IPR against such third party, and/or to defend against an action by such
third party challenging the enforceability or the validity or asserting the noninfringement of such
Aradigm Patent Rights or Aradigm New IPR, then Novo Nordisk shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to initiate any action or conduct any such suit. Aradigm shall have the right to join,
at its own expense, such action and/or suit and to be represented in such action and/or suit by its
own counsel. Furthermore, if Aradigm is required under applicable law to join any such suit,
action, or proceeding, or if the failure of Aradigm to be a party to such suit, action, or
proceeding would in the opinion of counsel to Novo Nordisk prejudice Novo Nordisk’s ability to
enforce the Aradigm Patent Rights or Aradigm New IPR, Aradigm shall execute all papers and perform
such other acts as may be reasonably required to permit the litigation to be conducted, and Novo
Nordisk shall reimburse Aradigm for its expenses relating to its joining and participation thereto.
If Aradigm is required to be joined as a party in any such action by a third party practicing
within the Field challenging the enforceability or validity or asserting the non-infringement of
Aradigm Patent Rights or Aradigm New IPR, then upon the request of Novo Nordisk, Aradigm shall
waive any objection to such joinder on the grounds of personal jurisdiction, venue or forum non
conveniens.



     (b) With respect to Transferred Patents and Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents
that are licensed exclusively to Aradigm outside the Field, when action is deemed necessary or
advisable by Aradigm and Novo Nordisk to prevent infringement of the Transferred Patents or
Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents by a third party practicing or making preparations
to practice outside the Field, to enforce such Transferred Patents or Transferred Selected
Pulmonary Delivery Patents against such third party and/or to defend against an action by such
third party challenging the enforceability or the validity or asserting the noninfringement of such
Transferred Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents, then Aradigm shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to initiate any action or conduct any such suit. In its
determination as to whether or not any action as contemplated in the preceding sentence is
necessary or advisable, Novo Nordisk shall consider in good faith Aradigm’s interests outside the
Field and shall not withhold its consent to an action deemed necessary or advisable by Aradigm
unless Novo Nordisk reasonably believes taking such action would have a material adverse impact on
Novo Nordisk’s interests inside the Field. Novo Nordisk shall have the right to join, at its own
expense, such action and/or suit and to be represented in such action and/or suit by its own
counsel. Furthermore, if Novo Nordisk is required under applicable law to join any such suit,
action, or proceeding, or if the failure of Novo Nordisk to be a party to such suit, action, or
proceeding would in the opinion of counsel to Aradigm prejudice Aradigm’s ability to enforce the
Transferred Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents, Novo Nordisk shall execute
all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to permit the litigation to be
conducted, and Aradigm shall reimburse Novo Nordisk for its expenses relating to its joining and
participation thereto as



28









 







such expenses are incurred. If Novo Nordisk is required to be joined as a party in any such
action by a third party practicing outside the Field challenging the enforceability or validity or
asserting the non-infringement of the Transferred Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary
Delivery Patents, then upon the request of Aradigm, Novo Nordisk shall waive any objection to such
joinder on the grounds of personal jurisdiction, venue or forum non conveniens.



     (c) With respect to the Transferred Patents and Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery
Patents, when action is deemed necessary or advisable by Novo Nordisk to prevent infringement of
the Transferred Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents by a third party
practicing or making preparations to practice within the Field, to enforce such Transferred Patents
or Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents against such third party and/or to defend
against an action by such third party challenging the enforceability or the validity or asserting
the noninfringement of such Transferred Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents,
then Novo Nordisk shall have the right (but not the obligation) to initiate any action or conduct
any such suit. If Aradigm is required under applicable law to join any such suit, action, or
proceeding, or if the failure of Aradigm to be a party to such suit, action, or proceeding would in
the opinion of counsel to Novo Nordisk prejudice Novo Nordisk’s ability to enforce the Transferred
Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents, Aradigm shall execute all papers and
perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to permit the litigation to be conducted, and
Novo Nordisk shall reimburse Aradigm for its expenses relating to its joining and participation
thereto as such expenses are incurred. If Aradigm is required to be joined as a party in any such
action by a third party practicing within the Field challenging the enforceability or validity or
asserting the non-infringement of the Transferred Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary
Delivery Patents, then upon the request of Novo Nordisk, Aradigm shall waive any objection to such
joinder on the grounds of personal jurisdiction, venue or forum non conveniens.



     (d) If either (x) Novo Nordisk and Aradigm agree in accordance with the provisions set forth
in Section 7.02(a) above that action is necessary, but Novo Nordisk does not commence such action
within sixty (60) days of such agreement, or (y) in respect of an Aradigm Patent Right that is not
a Field Claim (as defined below), Aradigm believes that action is necessary as to such Patent
Right, but Novo Nordisk does not agree in the discussions above that action is necessary, then in
either case Aradigm shall have the right to initiate and conduct, at its expense, an independent
action against the third party infringer of the Aradigm Patent Rights or Aradigm New IPR in the
Field. If Aradigm subsequently ceases to continue (other than by settlement) an action initiated
or conducted under this Section 7.02(d), or such action is dismissed voluntarily or involuntarily,
then Novo Nordisk shall have the right, but not the obligation to initiate, continue, and/or
conduct, at its expense and subject to all other applicable provisions of this Section 7.02, an
action as permitted by law against the third party within sixty (60) days of Aradigm’s ceasing to
continue its action against such third party or of such dismissal. For purposes of this Section
7.02(d), a “Field Claim” is a claim in



29









 







the Aradigm Patent Rights or patent rights under the Aradigm New IPR that expressly and
directly is limited to activities in the Field. For purposes of Sections 7.02(a) and (d), Novo
Nordisk shall not disagree, based primarily on any contractual obligations Novo Nordisk may have to
a third party, with Aradigm’s belief that action is deemed necessary to prevent infringement of
such Patent Rights by a third party practicing within the Field. For purposes of Sections 7.02(b)
and (d), Aradigm shall not disagree, based principally on any contractual obligations Aradigm may
have to a third party, with Novo Nordisk’s belief that action is deemed necessary to prevent
infringement of Transferred Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents by a third
party practicing outside the Field.



     (e) If the infringement in the Field involves sales of a Directly Infringing Product (as
defined below), and Novo Nordisk believes that action is necessary, but Aradigm does not agree in
the discussions above that action is necessary within sixty (60) days of commencing such
discussions, then Novo Nordisk shall thereafter have the right to initiate and conduct, at its
expense, an action against the third party based on the Directly Infringing Product, subject to all
other applicable provisions of this Section 7.02. For purposes of this Section 7.02, a “Directly
Infringing Product” shall mean either (x) a disposable unit dose package intended and capable for
use to deliver a medicament within the Field in a device that is a copy of, or substantially the
same as, a Device used or tested by Novo Nordisk in clinical trials under this Agreement, or (y) a
pulmonary delivery device intended for and capable of using disposable unit dose package that is a
copy of, or substantially the same as, that utilized in a Packaged Product used or tested by Novo
Nordisk in clinical trials under this Agreement. As used herein and in Section 10.05(b)(ii) and
Section 10.05(c)(i), the term “substantially the same as” with respect to a device means that the
two devices being compared have the same general principles of function, such as: (A) active breath
control; (B) delivery of an aerosol of fine particles; and (C) an aerosol created from a liquid
formulation of drug. As used herein and in Section 10.05(b)(ii) and Section 10.05(c)(i), the term
“substantially the same as” with respect to a disposable unit dose package means that the two
disposable unit dose packages being compared have the same general principles of function, such as:
(X) liquid drug formulation; and (Y) an aerosol of fine particles created through an aerosol nozzle
integrated with a flexible porous membrane.



     (f) In a suit initiated or conducted by Novo Nordisk pursuant to Sections 7.02(a), (c), (d) or
(e), in the initiation, conduct and settlement of the suit Novo Nordisk shall consider in good
faith the interests of Aradigm, both inside and outside the Field. Novo Nordisk shall keep Aradigm
reasonably informed of the progress of the suit, action, or proceeding, and shall provide Aradigm
in a manner reasonably designed to preserve attorney-client privilege with copies of all
substantive communications relating to the suit, action, or proceeding , subject to confidentiality
obligations to third parties. To the extent that Aradigm believes that a particular strategy for
conduct and/or settlement of the suit proposed by Novo Nordisk would have a material adverse impact
on Aradigm’s activities



30









 







outside the Field and/or Aradigm’s interests outside the Development Program, the Parties
agree to meet and discuss in good faith an alternative strategy to address Aradigm’s concerns, and
Novo Nordisk shall not proceed with any strategy without Aradigm’s approval, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Aradigm shall fully cooperate with and supply all assistance
reasonably requested by Novo Nordisk in an action conducted by Novo Nordisk under Sections 7.02(a),
(c), (d) or (e) above, and Novo Nordisk shall reimburse Aradigm for its costs and expenses relating
thereto.



     (g) In a suit initiated or conducted by Aradigm pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or (d), in the
initiation, conduct and settlement of the suit Aradigm shall consider in good faith the interests
of Novo Nordisk both inside and outside the Field. Aradigm shall keep Novo Nordisk reasonably
informed of the progress of the suit, action, or proceeding, and shall provide Novo Nordisk in a
manner reasonably designed to preserve attorney-client privilege with copies of all substantive
communications relating to the suit, action, or proceeding, subject to confidentiality obligations
to third parties. To the extent that Novo Nordisk believes that a particular strategy for conduct
and/or settlement of the suit proposed by Aradigm would have a material adverse impact on Novo
Nordisk’s interests in the Field, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith an
alternative strategy to address Novo Nordisk’s concerns, and Aradigm shall not proceed with any
strategy without Novo Nordisk’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Novo
Nordisk shall fully cooperate with and supply all assistance reasonably requested by Aradigm in
such action.



     (h) In any suit initiated or conducted by Novo Nordisk pursuant to Sections 7.02(a), (c), (d)
or (e), all internal and external costs and expenses of every kind and character incurred by Novo
Nordisk, including attorney’s fees, involved in the prosecution of the suit, shall be the
responsibility of Novo Nordisk. In any suit initiated or conducted by Aradigm pursuant to Section
7.02(b) or (d), all internal and external costs and expenses of every kind and character incurred
by Aradigm, including attorney’s fees, involved in the prosecution of the suit, shall be the
responsibility of Aradigm.



     (i) Any damages or other monetary or non-monetary awards recovered in such a suit initiated or
conducted by Novo Nordisk pursuant to Section 7.02(a), (c), (d) or (e), or by Aradigm pursuant to
Section 7.02(d), shall be allocated to the Parties in the following manner: First, Novo Nordisk and
Aradigm shall be reimbursed for their respective internal and external expenses (including
reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) incurred in the suit (to the extent not previously reimbursed
in accordance with Section 6.05(b)); and, second, the remaining balance from such recovery shall be
shared by Novo Nordisk and Aradigm according to the following formula: [2:1] Novo Nordisk:Aradigm.
If the recovery is less than both Parties’ costs, the recovery shall be allocated on a pro rata
basis based on each Party’s internal and external expenses. The determination of the value of
non-monetary benefits or awards shall be through mutual agreement between the parties. If an
agreement cannot be reached between



31









 







the Parties, then the fair value of such non-monetary benefits or awards shall be established
by arbitration conducted as provided for in Section 11.01. Any damages or other monetary or
non-monetary awards recovered in such a suit initiated and conducted by Aradigm pursuant to Section
7.02(b) shall be retained entirely by Aradigm.



     (j) Notwithstanding the above provisions, with respect to Novo Nordisk Patent Rights and
patents included in the Novo Nordisk New IPR, Novo Nordisk shall bear the sole responsibility for
initiating and conducting any suits to defend such rights; shall bear all costs of such suits;
shall have the right to settle any such suit without consulting with Aradigm; and shall retain the
full recovery from such suit. Novo Nordisk will keep Aradigm reasonably informed of the status of
any such threatened, pending, or actual suit or proceeding regarding the Novo Nordisk Patent Rights
involving activity in the Field.



     (k) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, with respect to any practice or activity
outside the Field, Aradigm (or its licensees, as applicable) shall have the sole right and
responsibility for initiating and conducting any suits to defend or enforce the Aradigm Patent
Rights and patents included in the Aradigm New IPR against practice outside the Field and shall
bear all costs of such suits. To the extent that such a suit or proceeding could have a material
impact on Novo Nordisk’s interests in the Field, Aradigm shall keep Novo Nordisk reasonably
informed of the status of any such suit or proceeding regarding Aradigm Patent Rights or patents
included in the Aradigm New IPR outside the Field and shall offer Novo Nordisk an opportunity to
comment on Aradigm’s strategy in conducting, and/or settling such suit, to the extent not prevented
by confidentiality or other contractual obligations to third parties. Subject to the preceding
provision, Aradigm shall have the right to settle any such suit without consulting with Novo
Nordisk and shall retain the full recovery from such suit.



     (l) For any of the disclosure or notification obligations of the Parties hereunder, it is
understood that all information disclosed under such obligations is covered by the confidentiality
provisions set forth in Article 8, and further that neither Party shall be required, by such
obligations, to disclose privileged information (e.g., information protected by work product and/or
attorney client privilege) or information in respect of which such Party is subject to
confidentiality or other contractual obligations to third parties. However, each Party agrees to
use reasonable efforts to disclose the substance of any such information in a manner that does not
destroy the privilege, and the Parties shall use good faith efforts to work together to establish a
procedure or relationship that enables the disclosure of such privileged information without
destroying the privilege.



     Section 7.03. Interferences. (a) With respect to Aradigm Patent Rights and Aradigm New IPR
that are licensed to Novo Nordisk under Article 3, in the event that any of such Aradigm Patent
Rights or Aradigm New IPR are subject to



32









 







an interference action in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Aradigm shall provide
Novo Nordisk with copies of all communications relating to the interference action and shall keep
Novo Nordisk reasonably informed of the progress of the interference action. Furthermore, Aradigm
shall not enter into any settlement agreement or take other dispositive action in the interference
without giving good faith consideration to Novo Nordisk’s interests and concerns, and if such
action would have a material adverse impact on Novo Nordisk’s activities in the Field, without
obtaining the prior consent of Novo Nordisk (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed); and (b) With respect to Transferred Patents and Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery
Patents that are licensed to Aradigm under Article 3, in the event that any of such Transferred
Patents or Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents are subject to an interference action in
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Novo Nordisk shall provide Aradigm with copies of
all communications relating to the interference action and shall keep Aradigm reasonably informed
of the progress of the interference action. Furthermore, Novo Nordisk shall not enter into any
settlement agreement or take other dispositive action in the interference without giving good faith
consideration to Aradigm’s interests and concerns, and if such action would have a material adverse
impact on Aradigm’s activities outside the Field, without obtaining the prior consent of Aradigm
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).



     Section 7.04. Defense and Settlement of Third Party Patent Claims. (a) If conduct of the
Development Program or the manufacture, use, marketing, or sale of a Device or Packaged Product
results in a claim, suit, action, or proceeding by a third party against a Party for patent
infringement of such third party’s patent rights (a “Field Infringement”), the Party first having
notice of such claim of Field Infringement shall notify the other Party in writing within fifteen
(15) days. The notice shall set forth the facts of the claim (to the extent known by the Party
having notice) in reasonable detail.



     (b) If during the term of this Agreement, a third party makes or attempts to enforce a claim,
files suit, or initiates a proceeding or any action that has the potential to affect
enforceability, validity, or exclusivity of any Patent Rights or Transferred Patents or Transferred
Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents that would materially affect rights within the Field, then the
Party having notice shall notify the other Party in writing within fifteen (15) days. Any notice
to be provided pursuant to this Section 7.04(b) shall set forth the facts (to the extent known by
the Party having notice) in reasonable detail.



     (c) Within fifteen (15) days of notification under Section 7.04(a) or Section 7.04(b), if
applicable and upon agreement of the Parties, a senior officer of each Party shall meet to discuss
in good faith and agree upon a strategy for responding to such third party suit, action, or
proceeding, which strategy shall accommodate both Parties’ commercial interests and investment in
the Development Program. To the extent that the Parties cannot agree to such a strategy for conduct
and/or settlement of the proceeding or suit, then the Party that



33









 







is the subject of such proceeding or suit may conduct or settle such suit in its sole
discretion, unless the other Party agrees in writing to assume the defense of such action and bear
the cost of such defense and settlement or any final judgment at its own expense; provided
that, the Party assuming the defense of such proceeding or suit shall bear only the excess
of the cost of any final settlement or judgment over the cost to which the Party that is the
subject of the proceeding or suit was to have paid in any proposed final settlement that such Party
had agreed to pay prior to the assumption of the defense by the other Party.



     Section 7.05. Sharing Of License Revenue. In the event Novo Nordisk grants any license under
any or all of the Transferred Patents and Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents in the
Field (other than a license of the Transferred Patents and Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery
Patents by Novo Nordisk to its customers or Joint Marketing Partners, which shall not be subject to
the revenue share described in the following clause), any revenue received in respect of such
license shall be shared by Aradigm and Novo Nordisk according to the following formula: [2:1] Novo
Nordisk: Aradigm. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such license is granted by Novo Nordisk in
connection with the settlement of a suit initiated or conducted by Novo Nordisk pursuant to Section
7.02 (a), (c), (d) or (e) or by Aradigm pursuant to Section 7.02(d), and the Parties’ expenses of
suit have not otherwise been fully reimbursed pursuant to Section 7.02(i), then license revenue
shall first be applied to reimbursement of such expenses until they are fully reimbursed. License
revenue shall include license fees, milestones, royalties and other amounts received in respect of
such license. If any non-monetary compensation is received by Novo Nordisk, then Novo Nordisk will
pay Aradigm for its share in cash based on the fair value of such non-monetary compensation, as
established by mutual agreement of the Parties. If an agreement cannot be reached between the
Parties, then the fair value of such non-monetary consideration shall be established by arbitration
conducted as provided in Section 11.01.



ARTICLE 8

notice of such request(s), to the extent practicable, so that such other Party may seek an
appropriate protective order or similar relief (and the Party shall cooperate with such
efforts by such other Party, and shall in any event make only the minimum disclosure
required by such law, rule or regulation)),




     (iii) to any governmental or regulatory authority or agency in order to obtain from
such authority or agency any authorization required or contemplated by this Agreement or
any of the other Transaction Agreements as long as such authority or agency is advised of
the confidential nature of such information, or




     (iv) as mutually agreed between the Parties.



     (c) Nothing contained herein shall prevent the use (subject, to the extent possible, to a
protective order) of Confidential Information in connection with the assertion or defense of any
claim by or against any Party.



     (d) For purposes of this Section 8.01, “Confidential Information” means any information

by a confidentiality agreement with (or other confidentiality obligation to) the other Party or
another Person.

     Section 8.02. Publication Planning. Novo Nordisk shall be solely responsible for all
publication planning, it being understood that Novo Nordisk will endeavor to present to the Review
Committee its overall publication planning strategy relating to the Development Program in good
time prior to implementation and will in such event in good faith consider any reasonable
suggestion made by Aradigm for amendments to such strategy, it being at all times understood that
Novo Nordisk shall not be entitled to publish or present any information covered by Section 8.01
without the prior written consent of Aradigm. For other publications or public presentations not
covered by Novo Nordisk’s publication planning hereunder, Novo Nordisk shall be solely responsible
for any publication in any technical or scientific article or other presentation of any of the
results of the Development Program; provided that, Novo Nordisk shall not publish
or publicly present any conclusions regarding the safety and efficacy of the Device and Packaged
Product and/or pulmonary delivery of drugs without first: (a) providing Aradigm a draft of such
publication or public presentation; and (b) obtaining the prior written consent of Aradigm for the
release of such publication or public presentation, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. For purposes of this Section 8.02, Aradigm shall be deemed to have consented to the

such draft publication or public presentation to Novo Nordisk in writing within ten (10) days of
its receipt thereof.

its licenses under Section 3.01 and shall pay royalties under Section 5.01 until the later
of (A) the date that is ten (10) years from First Marketing of any Packaged Product and
the Device and (B) the expiration date of the last patent (including any Transferred
Patent and any Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patent) that covers the Packaged
Product and the Device and the development, manufacturing, use, marketing, distribution,
sale, offer for sale, importation and/or exportation thereof in and from the Territory,
and (2) all rights and obligations of the Parties under Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.08,
4.01, 6.03 and 6.04 will terminate. For the avoidance of doubt, the remaining provisions
of this Agreement will survive, including Novo Nordisk’s license rights and payment
obligations (as set forth in (1) above) and Novo Nordisk’s obligation to expend Diligent
Efforts to clinically develop and register the Insulin Compound Packaged Product and the
Device for Broad Regulatory Approval in the United States and the European Union.




     (ii) in the event that Novo Nordisk fails to provide Aradigm with written notice of
its intent to continue the Development Program pursuant to Section 10.05(b)(i), (A) the
license granted to Novo Nordisk under Section 3.01, and to its permitted sublicensees
thereunder, shall immediately terminate, (B) Aradigm shall be, and hereby is, granted a
perpetual, world-wide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license under the Transferred Patents
and Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents to develop, manufacture, use, market,
distribute, sell, offer for sale, have made, import and/or export any product within the
Field, with a right to sublicense and (C) Novo Nordisk shall be, and hereby is, granted a
perpetual, world-wide, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing, license, with the right to
sublicense its customers and Joint Marketing Partners in accordance with Section 3.02,
under the Aradigm Patent Rights, Aradigm Know-How and Aradigm New IPR to develop,
manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have made, import and/or
export pulmonary products (other than Packaged Products, Devices or products that are
substantially the same as such Packaged Products or Devices) in the Field. In such case,
in consideration of the rights which Novo Nordisk has obtained in Aradigm Patent Rights,
Aradigm Background IPR, Aradigm Know-How, Aradigm New IPR, Transferred Patents and
Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents, Novo Nordisk shall pay to Aradigm a
royalty on Net Sales within the Field (by any member of the Novo Nordisk Affiliate Group
or any permitted sublicensee thereof), if any, of pulmonary products that use, or are
covered by, any Aradigm Know-How or any know-how included in the Aradigm New IPR, or that
are covered by any Transferred Patents, Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents,
Aradigm Patent Rights or any patents included in the Aradigm New IPR. Such royalty shall
be payable until the later of: (A) the date that



39









 







is ten (10) years from First Marketing of such pulmonary product; and (B) the

importation and/or exportation thereof in and from the Territory. The rate for such
royalty shall be determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 5.03(a)

deliver a specific insulin or insulin analog class, (1) for a First Marketed Product and
Device, three and one quarter percent (3.25%) of Net Sales thereof during the applicable
Stage 1 Commercialization Period, four percent (4.00%) of Net Sales thereof during the
applicable Stage 2 Commercialization Period, and five percent (5.00%) of Net Sales thereof

applicable Stage 1 Commercialization Period and five percent (6.00%) of Net Sales thereof
during the applicable Stage 2 Commercialization Period and the applicable Stage 3
Commercialization Period; and (Y) for any other pulmonary products, four and one-quarter
percent (4.25%) of Net Sales thereof during the applicable Stage 1 Commercialization
Period and five percent (5.00%) of Net Sales thereof during the applicable Stage 2
Commercialization Period and the applicable Stage 3 Commercialization Period.



     (c) In the event that Novo Nordisk terminates this Agreement in accordance with any provision
contained herein other than as set forth in Section 10.02(b) or Section 10.04, the Parties hereto
shall have the following additional rights and obligations:




     (i) The license granted to Novo Nordisk under Section 3.01, and to its permitted
sublicensees thereunder, shall immediately terminate, and Novo Nordisk shall be, and
hereby is, granted a perpetual, world-wide, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license, with
the right to sublicense its customers and Joint Marketing Partners in accordance with
Section 3.02, under the Aradigm Patent Rights, Aradigm Know-How and Aradigm New IPR to
develop, manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have made, import
and/or export pulmonary products (other than Packaged Products, Devices or products that
are substantially the same as such Packaged Products or Devices) in the Field. In such
case, in consideration of the rights which Novo Nordisk has obtained in Aradigm Patent
Rights, Aradigm Background IPR, Aradigm Know-How, Aradigm New IPR, Transferred Patents and
Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents, Novo Nordisk shall pay to Aradigm a
royalty on Net Sales within the Field (by any member of the Novo Nordisk Affiliate Group
or any permitted sublicensee thereof), if any, of pulmonary products that use, or are
covered by, any Aradigm Know-How or any



40









 







know-how included in the Aradigm New IPR, or that are covered by any Transferred
Patents, Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents, Aradigm Patent Rights or any
patents included in the Aradigm New IPR. Such royalty shall be payable until the later
of: (A) the date that is ten (10) years from First Marketing of such pulmonary product;
and (B) the expiration date of the last patent (including any Transferred Patent or any
Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patent) that covers such pulmonary product and the
development, manufacturing, use, marketing, distribution, sale, offer for sale,
importation and/or exportation thereof in and from the Territory. The rate for such
royalty shall be determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 5.03(a)
in respect of the applicable patents and know-how, but in no event shall such royalty
exceed: (X) in the case of any pulmonary products using an Alternative Technology to
deliver a specific insulin or insulin analog class, (1) for a First Marketed Product and
Device, three and one quarter percent (3.25%) of Net Sales thereof during the applicable
Stage 1 Commercialization Period, four percent (4.00%) of Net Sales thereof during the
applicable Stage 2 Commercialization Period, and five percent (5.00%) of Net Sales thereof
during the applicable Stage 3 Commercialization Period; or (2) for any Later Marketed
Product and Device, four and one-quarter percent (4.25%) of Net Sales thereof during the
applicable Stage 1 Commercialization Period and five percent (5.00%) of Net Sales during
the applicable Stage 2 Commercialization Period and the applicable Stage 3
Commercialization Period; and (Y) for any other pulmonary products, four and one-quarter
percent (4.25%) of Net Sales thereof during the applicable Stage 1 Commercialization
Period and five percent (5.00%) of Net Sales thereof during the applicable Stage 2
Commercialization Period and the applicable Stage 3 Commercialization Period;




     (ii) Aradigm shall be, and hereby is, granted a perpetual, world-wide, non-exclusive,
royalty-bearing (as described below in this Section 10.05(c)(ii)) license, with the right
to sublicense, under the Novo Nordisk Know-How and know-how included within Novo Nordisk
New IPR and certain claims under the Novo Nordisk Patent Rights and the patents included
within Novo Nordisk New IPR, which are necessary to develop, manufacture, use, market,
distribute, sell, offer for sale, import and/or export: (1) the Insulin Compound Packaged
Product containing the Insulin Compound formulation as it exists on the date of
termination and the Device and/or later generation pulmonary products in the Field derived
from such Insulin Compound Packaged Product containing the Insulin Compound formulation as
it exists on the date of termination and the Device; and (2) any pulmonary drug delivery
product outside the Field. Novo Nordisk shall in good faith specify in writing to Aradigm
promptly following termination the patent claims that describe such Insulin Compound
formulation to enable Aradigm to practice its rights under the foregoing license, as
further described below; provided that, if Aradigm notifies Novo Nordisk
in writing of any additional claims that Aradigm



41









 







believes are necessary to practice such license, then the Parties shall meet and
discuss in good faith whether to specify such additional claims. For the avoidance of
doubt, Aradigm’s license with respect to the Insulin Compound Packaged Product under the
Novo Nordisk Know-How and the know-how included within the Novo Nordisk New IPR and the
specific claims under the Novo Nordisk Patent Rights and the patents included in the Novo
Nordisk New IPR permit Aradigm to make only (a) the exact formulation of the Insulin
Compound as it exists at the time of termination; (b) a formulation of such Insulin
Compound with a lower (but not higher) concentration of insulin, in each case falling
within the concentration ranges in the specified claims; (c) subject to (b) above, a
formulation of such Insulin Compound that increases or decreases the range of excipients
or other non-Insulin Compound components included within such existing formulation,
provided such excipients or other non-Insulin Compound components remain within a range of
two (2) times the quality specification for such component; and/or (d) a formulation of
such Insulin Compound to which excipients or other components may be added or deleted
provided such additional excipients or other compounds do not infringe any intellectual
property rights of Novo Nordisk or any of its Affiliates, other than such intellectual
property rights licensed to Aradigm under this Section 10.05(c)(i). Within the Field,
such license shall be royalty-free prior to First Marketing of any Packaged Product and/or
Device by Aradigm or its sublicensees; after such First Marketing, such license shall bear
a royalty of (A) two and seven-tenths percent (2.70%) of Net Sales (by Aradigm, any of its
Affiliates or permitted sublicensees) of Device and Packaged Products falling within
(a)-(d) above for the first four (4) years following First Marketing and thereafter four
percent (4.00%) of such Net Sales of the Packaged Product and the Device; and (B) four
percent (4.00%) of Net Sales (by Aradigm, any of its Affiliates or sublicensees) of later
generation pulmonary products derived from such Device and/or Packaged Products. Outside
the Field, such royalty shall bear a royalty determined in accordance with the provisions
set forth in Section 5.03(a). Additionally, Aradigm shall retain its licenses under
Sections 3.03(b) and (c), which licenses shall be expanded to include the ability to
develop, manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have made, import
and/or export any product inside the Field (provided, however, that the license in Section
3.03(c) shall be non-exclusive inside the Field); and




     (iii) Novo Nordisk shall supply insulin to Aradigm in accordance with the provisions
set forth in Section 10.05(f) until the date of the first Regulatory Submission if, and
only if, Novo Nordisk shall have terminated this Agreement prior to First Marketing of the
Insulin Compound Packaged Product and the Device.



     (d) In the event that Aradigm terminates this Agreement in accordance with the provisions set
forth in Section 10.03 or Section 10.04, Aradigm shall be,




42









 






and hereby is, granted a perpetual, world-wide, non-exclusive license, with the right to
sublicense, under the Novo Nordisk Know-How and know-how included within Novo Nordisk New IPR and
certain claims under the Novo Nordisk Patent Rights and the patents included within Novo Nordisk
New IPR, which are necessary to develop, manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for
sale, import and/or export: (1) the Insulin Compound Packaged Product containing the Insulin
Compound formulation as it exists on the date of termination and the Device and/or later generation
pulmonary products in the Field derived from such Insulin Compound Packaged Product containing the
Insulin Compound formulation as it exists on the date of termination and the Device; and (2) any
product outside the Field. Such royalty shall be royalty-free in the Field and royalty-bearing (as
determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 5.03(a)) outside the Field. Novo
Nordisk shall in good faith specify in writing to Aradigm promptly following termination the patent
claims that describe such Insulin Compound formulation to enable Aradigm to practice its rights
under the foregoing license, as further described below; provided that, if Aradigm
notifies Novo Nordisk in writing of any additional claims that Aradigm believes are necessary to
practice such license, then the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith whether to specify
such additional claims. For the avoidance of doubt, Aradigm’s license with respect to the Insulin
Compound Packaged Product under the Novo Nordisk Know-How and the know-how included within the Novo
Nordisk New IPR and the specific claims under the Novo Nordisk Patent Rights and the patents
included in the Novo Nordisk New IPR permit Aradigm to make only (a) the exact formulation of the
Insulin Compound as it exists at the time of termination; (b) a formulation of such Insulin
Compound with a lower (but not higher) concentration of insulin, in each case falling within the
concentration ranges in the specified claims; (c) subject to (b) above, a formulation of such
Insulin Compound that increases or decreases the range of excipients or other non-Insulin Compound
components included within such existing formulation, provided such excipients or other non-Insulin
Compound components remain within a range of two (2) times the quality specification for such
component; and/or (d) a formulation of such Insulin Compound to which excipients or other
components may be added or deleted provided such additional excipients or other compounds do not
infringe any intellectual property rights of Novo Nordisk or any of its Affiliates, other than such
intellectual property rights licensed to Aradigm under this Section 10.05(d). Additionally,
Aradigm shall retain its licenses under Sections 3.03(b) and (c), which licenses shall be expanded
to include the ability to develop, manufacture, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have
made, import and/or export any product inside the Field (provided, however, that the license in
Section 3.03(c) shall be non-exclusive inside the Field). In the event that Aradigm terminates
this Agreement prior to the first Regulatory Submission of the Insulin Compound Packaged Product
and the Device, Novo Nordisk shall supply insulin to Aradigm in accordance with the provisions set
forth in Section 10.05(f).




     (e) In the event that either Party terminates this Agreement in accordance with the provisions
set forth herein, other than in accordance with the



43









 




provisions set forth in Section 10.02(b) or Section 10.04 as and to the extent requested in writing
by Aradigm, Novo Nordisk will cooperate with Aradigm to transfer the technology and any related
development or production equipment (as specified by Aradigm) back to Aradigm, and Aradigm will pay
Novo Nordisk: (i) for its transfer activities (on terms and conditions substantially similar to
those set forth in the Transition Services Agreement and the Restructuring Agreement); and (ii) the
replacement value for any custom-made equipment and the fair market value for any equipment that is
not custom-made to Novo Nordisk for any such equipment; provided that, Novo Nordisk
shall be entitled to payment of fair market value for any custom-made equipment in respect of which
Novo Nordisk does not provide Aradigm with reasonably satisfactory evidence of its intention to
replace such equipment. Additionally, Aradigm shall be entitled to use the data generated under
the Development Program to work with a third party and shall have reasonable access to the relevant
sections of applicable regulatory filings by any member of the Novo Nordisk Affiliate Group;
provided that, it is expressly understood that neither Aradigm nor any marketing
partner of Aradigm shall have access to any Regulatory Approval in respect of Novo Nordisk bulk
insulin or Novo Nordisk Know-How, production process details or other information relating to the
production of bulk insulin by Novo Nordisk or any of its Affiliates.




     (f) In the event that either Party terminates this Agreement in accordance with the provisions
set forth herein, other than in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 10.02(b) or
Section 10.04 and if, and only if, such termination occurs prior to First Marketing of the Insulin
Compound Packaged Product and the Device, Novo Nordisk shall supply insulin [****] to Aradigm until
the earliest of (i) notice to Novo Nordisk by Aradigm that it no longer needs such supply, (ii) the
first Regulatory Submission for the Insulin Compound Packaged Product and the Device in the United
States or the European Union and (iii) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of termination of
this Agreement.



     (g) In the event that either Party terminates this Agreement in accordance with the provisions
set forth herein, Aradigm agrees that it will not use, directly or indirectly, any Novo Nordisk
Know-How or other confidential information received from Novo Nordisk pursuant to this Agreement,
and Novo Nordisk agrees that it will not use, directly or indirectly, any Aradigm Know-How or other
confidential information received from Aradigm pursuant to this Agreement, in either case other
than as expressly provided herein.



     (h) Upon termination of this Agreement, Aradigm undertakes to return, upon Novo Nordisk’s
written request, all written documentation embodying Novo Nordisk Know-How and any and all
remaining Program Compound to Novo Nordisk, except and to the extent retention thereof is
reasonably necessary during any post termination period in which Novo Nordisk continues to supply
insulin to Aradigm. In the event that Aradigm terminates this Agreement in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 10.03, Novo Nordisk shall return, upon Aradigm’s written request,
all written documentation embodying Aradigm Know- How to Aradigm.

ARTICLE 11

Dispute Resolution and Governing Law




     Section 11.01. Dispute Resolution. (a) All disputes arising out of this Agreement shall be
settled as far as possible by negotiations between the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree on an
amicable settlement within thirty (30) days from written submission of the matter by one Party to
the other Party, the matter shall be submitted for decision and final resolution to arbitration to
the exclusion of any courts of law, under the Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association.



     (b) The arbitration tribunal shall be composed of three disinterested arbitrators, appointed
pursuant to the following procedure: the Party invoking arbitration shall notify the other Party
stating the substance of its claim and the name and address of the arbitrator it has chosen, who
may be a citizen of any country. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notification, the other
Party shall notify the first party of its answer to the claim made, any counterclaim that it wishes
to assert in the arbitration, and the name and address of its arbitrator, who may be a citizen of
any country. If this is not done within the 30-day period, appointment of the second arbitrator
shall be made in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association upon
request of the initiating Party.



     (c) The arbitrators shall choose a third arbitrator, who shall serve as president of the
tribunal thus composed. If the arbitrators fail to agree upon the choice of a third arbitrator
within thirty (30) days from the appointment of the second arbitrator, the third arbitrator will be
appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association upon the
request of the arbitrators or either of the Parties.



     (d) The arbitrators shall decide the dispute by majority decision and in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York. The decision shall be rendered in writing, shall state the reasons
on which it is based, and shall bear the signatures of at least two arbitrators. It shall also
identify the members of the arbitration tribunal, and the time and place of the award granted.
Finally, it shall determine the expenses of the arbitration and the Party who shall be charged



45









 




therewith or the allocation of the expenses between the Parties at the discretion of the
tribunal.




     (e) The arbitration decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, not later, however, if
possible, than six months after the constitution of the arbitration tribunal. The arbitration
decision shall be final and binding upon both Parties and the Parties agree that any award granted
pursuant to such decision may be entered forthwith in any court of competent jurisdiction. This
arbitration clause and any award granted pursuant to an arbitration decision thereunder shall be
enforceable against the Parties in accordance with the 1958 Convention on the Recognition and
Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, as amended.



     (f) The seat of arbitration shall be New York City, unless the Parties otherwise agree in
writing. The official arbitration language shall be English.



     Section 11.02. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in

ARTICLE 12

Miscellaneous




     Section 12.01. Bankruptcy Code Considerations. (a) The Parties agree that this Agreement is
an “executory contract” (involving continuing executory obligations of Aradigm to provide licenses
of the Aradigm Patent Rights, the Aradigm New IPR and the Aradigm Know-How, Novo Nordisk to provide
licenses of the Transferred Patents, Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents, Novo Nordisk
Patent Rights, Novo Nordisk New IPR and the Novo Nordisk Know-How, and continuing executory
obligations to pay royalties hereunder), under which Aradigm and Novo Nordisk, as the case may be,
is a “licensor of a right to intellectual property,” and that this Agreement is governed under 11
U.S.C. § 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”).



     (b) The Parties further agree that the Aradigm Patent Rights, the Aradigm New IPR and the
Aradigm Know-How, the Transferred Patents, Transferred Selected Pulmonary Delivery Patents, Novo
Nordisk Patent Rights, Novo Nordisk New IPR and the Novo Nordisk Know-How collectively constitute
the “intellectual property” (as such term is defined in Section 11 U.S.C. § 101(35A) of the
Bankruptcy Code) being licensed hereunder. If a Party as debtor in possession or a trustee of
bankruptcy for a Party in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, rejects this Agreement, the other Party
may elect to retain its rights under this Agreement as provided for in 11 U.S.C. § 365(n). In
addition, if a Party as debtor in possession or a trustee of bankruptcy for a Party in a case under
the Bankruptcy Code chooses to assign this Agreement to any Person as may be permitted under the
Bankruptcy Code, such Party or such trustee shall only assign this Agreement to an assignee that,
in conformity with Section 11



46









 




U.S.C. § 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, affirmatively agrees to assume all of such Party’s
obligations under this Agreement, and that provides adequate assurance of future performance.




     Section 12.02. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall not be binding upon the Parties until
it has been signed herein below by or on behalf of each Party, in which event it shall be effective
as of the date hereof.



     Section 12.03. Severability. If any provision in any Article of this Agreement is found by
competent authority to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the
validity, legality and enforceability of such other Article in every other respect and the
remainder of this Agreement shall continue in effect so long as the Agreement still expresses the
intent of the Parties. However, if the intent of the Parties cannot be preserved, this Agreement
shall be either renegotiated or terminated.



     Section 12.04. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an
amendment, by each Party to this Agreement, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom
the waiver is to be effective.



     (b) No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The
rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law.



     Section 12.05. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or
expense.



     Section 12.06. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;
provided that, no Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other Party hereto, except
pursuant to the provisions of Articles 3 and 10.



     Section 12.07. Counterparts; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be signed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective
when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party hereto.
No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer upon any person other than the Parties hereto
any rights or remedies hereunder.



47









 





     Section 12.08. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements, the
Patent Assignment and the Loan and Security Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the
Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement.
