In such event, ALPHARMA shall in good faith make a determination of the respective fair market values of the Licensed Product and all other pharmaceutical products included in the Combination Product, and shall notify IDEA of such determination and provide IDEA with ALPHARMA's basis for such determination.  IDEA shall have the right to review such determination, and to notify ALPHARMA if it disagrees with such determination.  If IDEA does not agree with such determination, IDEA shall give written notice of its disagreement within 60 days of receiving the relevant Royalty report pursuant to Section 3.7, and if thereafter the Parties are unable to agree in good faith as to such respective fair market values, then such matter shall be referred to their respective chief operating officers for discussion.  If not resolved by this discussion, the matter shall be referable to an arbitration under Section 14.10 by either Party by giving written notice of such referral to the other Party.  As used above, the term "Combination Product" means any pharmaceutical product that consists of (x) a Licensed Product and (y) other active compounds and/or active ingredients (that are not Licensed Products), the making, using, offering for sale, sale or importation of which as separate products does not and would not use Licensed Technology.

ALPHARMA shall provide to IDEA a copy of each sublicense promptly (and in any event within 30 days) after entering into it.

During the term hereof, except as explicitly permitted under the licenses granted in Section 2.1, ALPHARMA shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, including without limitation through the use of one or more agents or Persons with whom ALPHARMA and/or its Affiliates are in privity of contract:
(a)sell, distribute or otherwise dispose of; or

(b)grant any license or other right to any entity other than IDEA and its sublicensees to sell, distribute or otherwise dispose of, 

Licensed Products in the Field to any Person outside the Territory, or knowingly to any Person for importation into countries outside the Territory.

2.4Treatment of [**].  During the term of this Agreement, ALPHARMA shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and sublicensees in respect of Licensed Products in the Field not to, itself or through any Affiliate, agent or contractor:
(a)conduct, enter into any agreement to conduct or enter into any agreement to obtain the benefit of any previously conducted human clinical trial of a [**]; or

(b)advertise, market or promote any [**].

2.5Improper Activities of TDT.  In the TDT License the definition of "Licensed Product" excludes "Products" that fail a specified "Test Method" and are therefore not "Dermatological" for the purposes of the TDT License.  If TDT or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees sells or markets such a "Licensed Product" that is not "Dermatological"  in the Territory, IDEA shall promptly enforce the TDT License to prevent such breach by TDT (or any such Affiliate or sublicensee) upon request by ALPHARMA (including without limitation by causing TDT or the applicable Affiliate or sublicensee to cease to sell or market any "non-Dermatological" Product sold or marketed by TDT, its Affiliates or its sublicensees).

ARTICLE 3 - PAYMENTS AND WARRANTS

3.1Upfront Consideration.  In consideration of the grant by IDEA of the licenses set forth in Section 2.1, ALPHARMA shall within [**] calendar days after the Effective Date (a) pay IDEA a non-refundable, non-creditable license fee of sixty million US dollars (US$60,000,000), and (b) cause ALPHARMA Parent to issue to IDEA a Phase III Milestone Warrant in the form attached to this Agreement as Schedule G and (c) cause ALPHARMA Parent to issue to IDEA an Approval Warrant in the form attached to this Agreement as Schedule H.  In addition, on the date on which ALPHARMA Parent issues to IDEA the Phase III Milestone Warrant and the Approval Warrant, ALPHARMA Parent and IDEA shall execute and deliver a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached to this Agreement as Schedule I.

3.2Milestone Payments.  In consideration of the grant by IDEA of the licenses set forth in Section 2.1, ALPHARMA shall make the following non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payments to IDEA, each of which shall be payable only once regardless of how many clinical trials are conducted, how many Licensed Products are developed or how many patents issue, upon the achievement of the corresponding milestones set forth below:

	
Milestone
	
Milestone Payment

	
Initial [**] Milestone: Achievement of safety results in both

[**] study [**], and 

[**] study [**], 

that, in Alpharma's reasonable judgment, [**]
	
US$[**]

	
Advancement Milestone: Satisfaction of the conditions set forth in either clause (a) or clause (b) below:

either (i) written acceptance by [**] under [**] and the [**] or (ii) [**] on the [**], and such [**] have been submitted to [**]; or

(b) if on or after [**], ALPHARMA and IDEA have mutually agreed (acting reasonably) on the [**], based on the belief that such [**] will be acceptable to [**].
	
US$[**]

	
3.  Patent [**] Milestone:  The later to occur of (a) the achievement of the [**] and (b) issuance of a United States Patent:

(i) with claims [**], and

(ii) that provides [**].
	
US$[**]

	
4. Approval of Diractin in the United States.
	
US$45,000,000 if the primary efficacy endpoint (as described for "TRIAL 2" in Schedule F) of the Five Arm Phase 3 Clinical Trial is not achieved with statistical significance in accordance with the trial protocol

OR

US$65,000,000 if the primary efficacy endpoint (as described for "TRIAL 2" in Schedule F) of the Five Arm Phase 3 Clinical Trial is achieved with statistical significance in accordance with the trial protocol

Each milestone payment shall be deemed earned as of the achievement of the corresponding milestone and shall be paid by ALPHARMA within [**] days after ALPHARMA is notified by IDEA of or otherwise learns of the achievement of such milestone.  If either Party believes that a milestone has been achieved, it will so notify the other Party promptly in writing.

In addition to the milestone payments set forth above in this Section 3.2, if ALPHARMA or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees uses data from the Celebrex Comparator Sub-Study for any Promotional Purpose (as defined below), then, subject to the immediately following sentence, ALPHARMA shall pay to IDEA a one-time payment of [**] U.S. dollars (US $[**]) (the "Celebrex Comparator Data Post-Use Payment") within [**] days after such use.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, (a) ALPHARMA and its Affiliates and sublicensees shall be entitled to use any and all data and other information from the Celebrex Comparator Sub-Study for any and all purposes other than Promotional Purposes and ALPHARMA shall not have any payment obligation to IDEA in respect of any such use of data or other information permitted by this clause (a), and (b) ALPHARMA shall have the option, exercisable at any time prior to the earlier of use for Promotional Purposes by ALPHARMA or its Affiliates or sublicensees of data from the Celebrex Comparator Sub-Study or [**] days after IDEA has delivered to ALPHARMA the final study report, including the final data package, from the Celebrex Comparator Sub-Study, of purchasing the right to use any and all data and information from the Celebrex Comparator Sub-Study by paying IDEA a one-time payment of [**] U.S. dollars (US $[**]) (the "Celebrex Comparator Data Option Payment").  ALPHARMA shall be deemed to have exercised such option and purchased the right to use such data for any and all purposes by giving notice of exercise to IDEA and making payment of the Celebrex Comparator Data Option Payment to IDEA.   If ALPHARMA is required to pay, or elects to pay, to IDEA either the Celebrex Comparator Data Post-Use Payment or the Celebrex Comparator Data Option Payment, then ALPHARMA and its Affiliates and sublicensees shall have the right to use any and all data and information from the Celebrex Comparator Sub-Study for any and all purposes, including Promotional Purposes, with no further financial obligation to IDEA in respect of such use.  

"Promotional Purposes" shall mean use of data from the Celebrex Comparator Sub-Study under the following circumstances:  (i) the results of the Celebrex Comparator Sub-Study have demonstrated [**] study) and (ii) ALPHARMA takes affirmative steps either (A) to use such positive results to obtain Approval for Diractin or to obtain an improved label for Diractin, as demonstrated by ALPHARMA providing FDA with statistical analyses of such positive results to obtain such Approval or improved label beyond providing such statistical analyses as are required by applicable law or regulation applicable to the submission of data to FDA in support of an NDA or as are reasonably required to respond to any request made by FDA without prompting by ALPHARMA or (B) to use such positive results to promote Diractin, as demonstrated by any promotional use of such positive results that is not required by applicable law or regulation; provided that IDEA shall have the burden of proving the existence of the circumstances set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, use for any purpose by ALPHARMA of [**]) from the Celebrex Comparator Sub-Study and use for any purpose by ALPHARMA of data regarding the maintenance of treatment effect after discontinuation of use for Diractin (i.e., such maintenance of treatment effect data for Diractin [**]) from the Celebrex Comparator Sub-Study, in each case shall not constitute use for Promotional Purposes.

3.3Royalties.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.4 and 3.6:
(a)(i) Net Sales.  ALPHARMA shall pay to IDEA Royalties on Annual Sales Volume of Licensed Products (the "Royalties") as set forth in this Section 3.3(a)(i).  After each Calendar Quarter, Royalties due based on Net Sales during such Calendar Quarter shall be calculated as follows:

[**], where
QRP = the quarterly Royalties due for such Calendar Quarter based on Net Sales in the United States for such Calendar Quarter;

ABRR = the applicable [**] royalty rate, calculated as set forth below;

[**]; and

[**].

The ABRR is calculated as follows based on the following royalty rate tiers:

	
Portion of annualized* cumulative Net Sales during the applicable Calendar Year through the end of the applicable Calendar Quarter (US dollars)
	
Incremental royalty rate applicable to such portion

	
Above US$0 up to US$[**]
	
[**]%

	
Above US$[**] up to US$[**]
	
[**]%

	
Above US$[**] up to US$[**]
	
[**]%

	
Above US$[**] up to US$[**]
	
[**]%

	
Above US$[**]
	
[**]%

*If sales of Licensed Products commence or end in a period that is not a full Calendar Year, the annualized cumulative Net Sales for the Calendar Year that includes such period for the purposes of the above table shall be adjusted by multiplying such annualized cumulative Net Sales for the Calendar Year by a fraction the numerator of which is 365 and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the period.  For example if such a period commences on February 12, all annualized amounts for the Calendar Year shall be multiplied by 365 divided by (365 - 43) = 1.13354.

The ABRR is determined by taking the weighted average (by portion of Net Sales) of the incremental royalty rates applicable to Net Sales, as set forth in the table above.

For example, if, through the end of the first Calendar Quarter of a given Calendar Year, Annual Sales Volume was US$[**], and through the end of the second Calendar Quarter of such Calendar Year, Annual Sales Volume was US$[**], then the ABRR for such first Calendar Quarter would be [**]% (determined by [**], as set forth in the table above) and the ABRR for such second Calendar Quarter would be [**] applicable to the first US$[**] in Net Sales for a Calendar Year, as set forth in the table above).  Therefore, the quarterly royalty payable by ALPHARMA to IDEA for Net Sales during the first Calendar Quarter would be [**]% of US$[**], and the quarterly royalty payable by ALPHARMA to IDEA for Net Sales during the second Calendar Quarter would be (([**].

Notwithstanding the foregoing, IDEA shall not be obligated to [**] if, due to [**], the calculations of the Royalty due for Net Sales during the subsequent Calendar Quarters as set forth above yield a [**] (i.e., in such event, ALPHARMA's Royalty obligation for such subsequent Calendar Quarter(s) shall be US$[**]), provided that if, due to a [**], ALPHARMA pays more in aggregate quarterly Royalty payments for any Calendar Year than the annual Royalty amount calculated by multiplying the ABRR for such Calendar Year by the CANS for such Calendar Year, ALPHARMA shall be entitled to offset such overpayment amount as set forth in Section 3.11 as if such overpayment amount were an amount owed by IDEA to ALPHARMA under this Agreement.
(ii)Limitation on [**] Royalty Rate.  During each of the first [**] Calendar Years beginning with the Calendar Year in which the First Commercial Sale of the first Licensed Product sold in the Territory occurs, unless Net Sales have materially declined in such Calendar Year due to External Factors (which ALPHARMA shall bear the burden of proof of demonstrating), the ABRR for such Calendar Year shall be deemed to be the [**] (a) the actual ABRR for such Calendar Year, as determined in accordance with Section 3.3(a)(I) or (b) [**] during such Royalty Term.  If this Section 3.3(a)(ii) is applicable and such deemed ABRR for a Calendar Year is greater than the actual ABRR for such Calendar Year, then the quarterly Royalty due from ALPHARMA to IDEA for the [**] Calendar Quarter of such Calendar Year pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(I) shall be calculated using such deemed ABRR.  If for any Calendar Year the provisions of this Section 3.3(a)(ii) have not applied as a result of the External Factors, then the ABRR adjustment of this Section 3.3(a)(ii) shall nonetheless apply to future Calendar Years within the [**] Calendar Years specified above unless the Net Sales again materially decline in such Calendar Year due to External Factors; provided, however, that, in such event, for the purposes of clause (b) of the first sentence of this Section 3.3(a)(ii), only prior Calendar Years beginning with the most recent Calendar Year in which the External Factors applied shall be considered.  If the Parties do not agree that External Factors are applicable to a particular Calendar Year, the matter shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 14.10.

(iii)Royalty Structure.  The parties have structured the Royalties to account for the value of Diractin in light of the value to ALPHARMA of the access to technology, clinical trial data, the IND, and other valuable Know-How provided to ALPHARMA hereunder and its rights to develop and exploit Improvements.  The Parties acknowledge that these Royalty arrangements are for their mutual convenience and that the Parties arrived at such arrangements after carefully exploring alternative means.

(b)No double counting. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to pay Royalties shall apply only once with respect to the same unit of a Licensed Product.  Sales of Licensed Products between ALPHARMA and its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees, or among such Affiliates and permitted sublicensees, shall not be subject to Royalties under this Section 3.3, but in such cases the Royalties shall be calculated on the Net Sales by such Affiliates or sublicensees to a third party

3.4Royalty Reduction.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.3:
(a)Generic Competition.  If there is Generic Competition (as hereinafter defined) in the Territory with respect to a Licensed Product for a Calendar Quarter, then the royalty rate for such Licensed Product according to Section 3.3 for such Calendar Quarter shall be reduced to [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales.  The term "Generic Competition" shall mean that one or more Generic Products are available in the Territory with respect to a Licensed Product and that the unit sales of Generic Product(s) exceed [**]% of the total unit sales of the Licensed Product and all Generic Products.

(b)Patent Expiry.  Unless Section 3.4(a) is applicable, if in the Territory no Licensed Patent Rights with Valid claims cover a Licensed Product, then (i) Section 3.3(a)(ii) shall not apply with respect to such Licensed Product (but shall continue to apply with respect to all other Licensed Products except for any such other Licensed Products as to which this Section 3.4(b) also applies), and (ii) the royalty rate according to Section 3.3 shall be reduced for Net Sales of such Licensed Product to [**] percent ([**]%) of the royalty rate otherwise applicable under Section 3.3.

3.5Royalty Term.  The Royalties shall be paid on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis on each Licensed Product until the later of (i) the expiration of all Licensed Patent Rights in the Territory that cover such Licensed Product, or (ii) 2029 (the "Royalty Term").

3.6Third Party Patents.  In the event IDEA or ALPHARMA receive notice or otherwise become aware of any facts that ALPHARMA's (or any of its Affiliates' or sublicensees') making, having made, using, offering for sale, selling or importing a Licensed Product in the Field in accordance with this Agreement infringes, may infringe or is alleged by a third party to infringe any third party Patent Rights (including any patent application that would be infringed if issued as a patent), the Party becoming aware of same shall promptly notify the other.  ALPHARMA (or its relevant Affiliate or sublicensee) shall have the right to negotiate with said third party for such license of the third party Patent Rights as shall be necessary or prudent to avoid such infringement or potential infringement and to defend and settle any action based on infringement or potential infringement of such third party Patent Rights.  ALPHARMA shall be entitled to deduct [**] percent ([**]%) of any amounts that ALPHARMA (or its relevant Affiliate or sublicensee) pays or incurs with respect to such third party Patent Rights, including infringement damages, costs and expenses resulting from any such infringement or potential infringement, attorney fees incurred in defending or settling any dispute regarding such infringement or potential infringement or in negotiating a license to such third party Patent Rights, and license fees, milestone payments and/or Royalties paid in respect of such third party Patent Rights  ("Required Third Party Payments") from milestone payments, Royalties and other amounts otherwise payable by ALPHARMA to IDEA hereunder (in each case after any other deduction or reduction which it is entitled to make pursuant to the other provisions of this Article 3).  Any such deduction or portion thereof may be carried forward until fully offset against the milestone payments, Royalties and other amounts otherwise payable by ALPHARMA to IDEA hereunder.  Prior to entering into any agreement or settlement that would require ALPHARMA (or its relevant Affiliate or sublicensee) to pay any Required Third Party Payment, ALPHARMA (or its relevant Affiliate or sublicensee) will consult with IDEA regarding the advisability and payment terms of the proposed agreement or settlement and consider in good faith any views expressed by IDEA with respect thereto; provided that ALPHARMA (or its relevant Affiliate or sublicensee) shall retain final decision-making authority with respect to whether and on what terms to enter into any such agreement or settlement.

3.7Royalty Reports.  ALPHARMA shall deliver to IDEA, within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter beginning with the Calendar Quarter in which the First Commercial Sale occurs, reasonably detailed written accountings of Net Sales of Licensed Products that are subject to Royalties due to IDEA for such calendar quarter.  Such quarterly reports shall indicate gross sales on a product-by-product basis, the deductions from gross sales used in calculating Net Sales and the resulting calculation of Royalties (including offsets or reductions pursuant to Sections 3.3(a)(ii), 3.4 and 3.6).  ALPHARMA shall deliver a report for each such Calendar Quarter even if no Royalties are payable. If, pursuant to Section 3.11, in any Calendar Quarter ALPHARMA sets off amounts such that the resulting amount of Royalties payable is [**], ALPHARMA shall state in its royalty report for that Calendar Quarter that the amount of Royalties due is [**] unless it is precluded by applicable law or regulations from doing so.  When ALPHARMA delivers such accountings to IDEA, ALPHARMA shall pay all Royalties due under this Article 3 to IDEA for the Calendar Quarter.  All payments made by ALPHARMA to IDEA pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer to a bank or other institution designated in writing by IDEA from time to time.  With respect to sales of products invoiced in United States Dollars, the sales and Royalties payable shall be expressed in United States Dollars.  With respect to sales of products invoiced in a currency other than United States Dollars, the sales and Royalties payable shall be expressed in their United States Dollar equivalent, calculated in accordance with ALPHARMA's accounting practices (being consistent with US generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied) on the last business day of the calendar quarter to which the Royalties report relates.

3.8Royalty Records.  ALPHARMA shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records of the latest five (5) years of sales to which Royalties attach.  For the sole purpose of verifying Royalties payable to IDEA, IDEA shall have the right annually at IDEA's expense to retain an independent certified public accountant selected by IDEA and reasonably acceptable to ALPHARMA, to review such records in the location(s) where such records are maintained by ALPHARMA, its Affiliates or its sublicensees upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours and under obligations of confidence.  Results of such review shall be made available to both IDEA and ALPHARMA.  Any underpayment determined by such review shall promptly be paid (subject to the next sentence) by ALPHARMA; provided that any dispute arising out of any review conducted pursuant to this Section 3.8 and any other dispute arising out of ALPHARMA's payment obligations under this Agreement shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with Section 14.10.  Either Party may submit such dispute to such binding arbitration, and ALPHARMA shall not be required to pay any amount disputed by it until [**] days after the decision in such arbitration.  If ALPHARMA has underpaid amounts due under this Agreement by more than five percent (5%) for any reporting period, ALPHARMA shall also reimburse IDEA for the cost of such review (with the cost of the review to be paid by IDEA in all other cases), plus interest at the interest rate set forth in Section 3.9, from the date of any such underpayment.  If a review pursuant to this Section 3.8 reflects an overpayment of Royalties to IDEA, the amount of such overpayment shall be credited against future Royalties owed by ALPHARMA to IDEA.

3.9Interest.  ALPHARMA shall pay interest to IDEA on the aggregate amount of any payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the annualized U.S. Dollar one month London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus [**] percent ([**]%), as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the applicable period, or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent and compounded monthly.

3.10Prohibited Transfers.  In the event that, by reason of applicable laws or regulations in any country, it becomes illegal for ALPHARMA or its Affiliates or sublicensees, to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, Royalties or other payments to IDEA, such Royalties or other payments shall be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of IDEA in a recognized banking institution designated by IDEA or, if none is designated by IDEA within a period of [**] days, in a recognized banking institution selected by ALPHARMA or its Affiliates or sublicensees, as the case may be, and identified in a notice in writing given to IDEA.

3.11ALPHARMA's Right to Set Off.  ALPHARMA may set off against any amounts owed to IDEA under this Agreement (including without limitation Royalties and milestone payments) any amounts owed to ALPHARMA, any of its Affiliates, or ALPHARMA's or its Affiliates' respective directors, officers, agents or employees, under this Agreement (including without limitation any amounts owed as a result of a breach of this Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, ALPHARMA may not set off against Royalties due to IDEA in respect of Net Sales made after the Warranty End Date as to any claim under Section 11.3(a)(i) other than any such claim that is exempted from the limitations of Section 11.3(b) pursuant to Section 11.3(c).  In addition, the limitations set forth in Sections 11.3(b)(i) and 11.3(b)(ii) shall apply to any claim under Section 11.3(a)(i), other than any such claim that is exempted from the limitations of Section 11.3(b) pursuant to Section 11.3(c), as to which ALPHARMA exercises its right of set-off pursuant to this Section 3.11.  ALPHARMA shall give IDEA prompt notice in writing of any exercise by ALPHARMA of its setoff right pursuant to this Section 3.11 (which notice shall include a description of ALPHARMA's basis for exercising its setoff right).  If IDEA disputes such setoff by ALPHARMA, it shall so notify ALPHARMA in writing within [**] days after the notice from ALPHARMA, which notice shall include a statement by IDEA of the amount that IDEA claims ALPHARMA has inappropriately setoff, or shall be deemed to have accepted such setoff.  If IDEA timely gives such a dispute notice, ALPHARMA shall promptly deposit the amount that IDEA has claimed was inappropriately setoff in an escrow account with an unrelated bank and shall initiate an arbitration as to such dispute pursuant to Section 14.10 within [**] days after the date IDEA gave the dispute notice.  If ALPHARMA fails to so initiate an arbitration within such [**] day period, it shall immediately pay the amount so set off to IDEA.  The escrow arrangement with the bank shall provide that the amount held in escrow, plus any interest earned thereon, shall be distributed as determined by the Section 14.10 arbitral tribunal.

3.12No Withholding.  ALPHARMA will make all payments to IDEA under this Agreement without deduction or withholding for taxes except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required under applicable law or regulation; provided, however, that ALPHARMA shall not be permitted to withhold taxes imposed by any taxing authority to the extent that the obligation to withhold arises from ALPHARMA's failure to comply with the requirements specified in Schedule J.

3.13Withheld Amounts.  Any tax permitted to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.12 from amounts payable under this Agreement will promptly be paid by ALPHARMA on behalf of IDEA to the appropriate governmental authority, and ALPHARMA will furnish IDEA with proof of payment of such tax.  The amount of any such tax withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid by ALPHARMA to IDEA and any such tax required to be withheld will be an expense of and borne by IDEA.

3.14Cooperation to Reduce Withholdings.  ALPHARMA and IDEA  will cooperate with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested by either party to secure a reduction in the rate of, or the elimination of, applicable withholding taxes, and shall otherwise cooperate to reduce the rate of, or eliminate, applicable withholding taxes.

3.15Tax Indemnification by IDEA.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (except Section 3.16), if a taxing authority imposes withholding taxes, or penalties or interest with respect to withholding taxes, in connection with any payment made to IDEA under this Agreement, and such taxes, penalties or interest are assessed against ALPHARMA or any of its Affiliates, then IDEA will indemnify and hold harmless ALPHARMA and any such Affiliate from and against such taxes, penalties and interest and any other Damages related thereto.  Payment on this indemnification shall be made within [**] days from the date ALPHARMA makes a written demand therefor.

3.16Exception to Tax Indemnification by IDEA.  IDEA shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless ALPHARMA from or against any taxes, penalties or interest referred to in Section 3.15 to the extent that such taxes, penalties or interest are imposed by any taxing authority as a result of ALPHARMA's failure to comply with the requirements set forth on Schedule J.

3.17Tax Indemnification by ALPHARMA.  It shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by ALPHARMA if ALPHARMA fails to comply with the requirements specified in Schedule J; provided, however, that ALPHARMA will indemnify and hold harmless IDEA from and against any withholding taxes, or penalties or interest with respect to withholding taxes, to the extent that such taxes, penalties or interest are imposed on IDEA by any taxing authority with respect to any payment made to IDEA under this Agreement as a result of such failure, and any other Damages related to such withholding taxes, penalties or interest.  Payment on this indemnification shall be made within [**] days from the date IDEA makes a written demand therefor.

3.18Withholding of Tax on Guarantor Payments.  If ALPHARMA Parent makes a payment to IDEA pursuant to the Guarantee as a result of IDEA enforcing its rights under the Guarantee in respect of a payment obligation under this Agreement after first seeking to obtain performance of such payment obligation by ALPHARMA and ALPHARMA breaching such payment obligation and failing to cure such breach within ninety (90) days of IDEA giving ALPHARMA written notice of such breach, then ALPHARMA Parent will make such payment to IDEA without deduction or withholding for taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision thereof).  For the avoidance of doubt, all other payments made by ALPHARMA Parent to IDEA under this Agreement shall be treated, for purposes of Sections 3.12 through 3.17 as made by ALPHARMA.

3.19Confidentiality obligations regarding IDEA's tax matters.

(a)All information to the extent disclosed by IDEA to ALPHARMA regarding the entities that will receive Royalties and other payments hereunder, IDEA's plans to assign its rights hereunder and IDEA's tax affairs generally ("Confidential IDEA Tax Matters") shall be maintained confidential and shall not be disclosed to any person, federal, state or local tax authority or other governmental authority or agency without IDEA's written consent, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the disclosure of Confidential IDEA Tax Matters that ALPHARMA is obligated to disclose in order to comply with applicable law.

(b)If ALPHARMA receives a request or demand from any tax authority to disclose Confidential IDEA Tax Matters, ALPHARMA shall promptly notify IDEA to the extent permitted by law and shall reasonably cooperate with IDEA to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential IDEA Tax Matters to the extent not subject to the proviso in Section 3.19(a).

(c)The last paragraph of Section 6.2 hereof shall apply to Confidential IDEA Tax Matters mutatis mutandis.

ARTICLE 4 - COMMERCIAL DILIGENCE

4.1Pre-commercialization Diligence.  Subject to IDEA's performance of IDEA's obligations under Section 5.1 of this Agreement, ALPHARMA shall from the Effective Date until receipt of a first Approval of a Licensed Product in the Territory spend at least the amounts set forth below on pre-commercialization activities in the Territory, including internal and external costs incurred for such activities but excluding general and administrative overhead for such activities ("Market Development Expenditures").

	
Period
	
Market Development Expenditures

	
2008

From the filing with the FDA of an NDA for a Licensed Product until Approval of the NDA
	
US$[**]

If ALPHARMA incurs Market Development Expenditures in any period in excess of the Market Development Expenditures obligation for such period, the amount of any such excess shall, at ALPHARMA's option, be credited against ALPHARMA's Market Development Expenditures obligation for any subsequent period or for any Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures obligation for any period (at ALPHARMA's option).

4.2Post-Launch Diligence.  ALPHARMA shall undertake Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commercialize a Licensed Product in the Territory.  ALPHARMA shall, during the four (4) consecutive periods set out in the table below commencing [**] months prior to the anticipated First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Territory, spend at least the amounts set forth below on (x) marketing and medical education expenses and (y) sales expenses (exclusive of any general or administrative overhead except as specified below) with respect to Licensed Products in the Territory, including internal and external costs ("Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures").

	
Period
	
Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures

2nd period (which shall be the ensuing 12 months)
	
[**]

	
3rd period (which shall be the ensuing 12 months)

For this purpose, marketing and medical education expenses will include all costs and expenses for marketing, advertising and promotion, samples and promotional materials, managed markets, trade relations, medical science liaisons, scientific communications, medical affairs, information and education and Phase 4 clinical trials, and sales expenses will include all costs and expenses of detailing, sales management, sales operations and sales training.  Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures shall not include discounts given on Commercial Sales of Licensed Products to the extent the amounts of such discounts either are not included in the gross invoiced amounts for purposes of determining Net Sales or are included in such gross invoiced amounts but subsequently deducted in determining Net Sales.  For each of the periods specified in the above table, marketing and medical education expenses (as defined in the second previous sentence) shall comprise at least [**]% of ALPHARMA's Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures and sales expenses shall comprise the balance of ALPHARMA's Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures.  In addition, for the first [**] years following the First Commercial Sale of the first Licensed Product sold in the Territory, at least [**]% of the portion of ALPHARMA's sales expenses which comprise its sales force expenses will be allocated to [**] details of such Licensed Product.  Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures incurred by ALPHARMA prior to the commencement of the 1st period (which shall not include the required Market Development Expenditures of $[**]) shall be treated as satisfying ALPHARMA's 1st period Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures obligation.  If ALPHARMA incurs Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures for any of the first [**] periods in excess of the Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures obligation for such period, the amount of any such excess shall, at ALPHARMA's option, be credited against ALPHARMA's Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures obligation in any subsequent period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time beginning  with the filing of an NDA covering the first Licensed Product sold in the Territory and not more than once every twelve (12) months thereafter, either Party may request the Market Consultant (as defined below) to prepare (at the requesting Party's sole cost and expense) an assessment of the U.S. market potential of the first Licensed Product sold in the Territory (a "New MPA") which will consist of two components as follows:
(a)an assessment of such market potential for any period (whether 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th) in the above table that has not yet been completed (the "Covered Period") based on the assumptions set forth on Schedule K (the "Base Case"); and

(b)an assessment of such market potential for the Covered Period based on the way or ways in which the actual facts that are in effect on the date that the requesting Party requests that the New MPA be prepared differ from the assumptions of the Base Case (the "Actual Case").

If for any such period, the ex-factory retail channel sales projection for the Actual Case varies from such sales projection for the Base Case by more than [**] percent ([**]%), then ALPHARMA's Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditure obligation as set forth in the table above (the "Specified ME Obligation") for the applicable period will be adjusted by multiplying the Specified ME Obligation for such period by a fraction the numerator of which is the ex-factory retail channel sales projection for the Actual Case and the denominator of which is such sales projection for the Base Case; provided, however, that in no event will the Specified ME Obligation for any period be increased or decreased by more than [**] percent ([**]%).

The Market Consultant shall be [**] unless for any reason [**] is unwilling or unable to so serve.  If the Market Consultant is [**], then the Party requesting the New MPA shall request that the same [**] personnel who prepared the prior market potential assessment for Diractin, if available, prepare the requested New MPA.  In such event, the Market Consultant shall be [**].  If [**] also is unwilling or unable to so serve, the Market Consultant shall be another firm jointly agreed to by the Parties within [**] days after one Party requests that the other Party so agree.  If the Parties are not able to so agree within such [**]-day period, the Market Consultant shall be a firm with expertise in assessing the market for pharmaceutical products in the US selected by the LCIA (as defined in Section 14.10), or by the New York, New York office of the American Arbitration Association if the LCIA declines to select such a firm, upon application of either Party.

For the purposes of Section 4.1 and this Section 4.2, amounts expended by any Affiliate or sublicensee of ALPHARMA that qualify as Market Development Expenditures or Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures shall be treated as having been expended by ALPHARMA.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2 and the provisions of Section 3.3(a)(ii), during the periods for which ALPHARMA has Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditure obligations pursuant to this Section 4.2, ALPHARMA shall not be entitled to a reduction in such Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditure obligations or in any relief from the limitations on Royalty reductions in Section 3.3(a)(ii) based on External Factors for any period in which ALPHARMA is marketing any Product, other than a patch Product or a Licensed Product, in the Field in the Territory, unless the factors otherwise entitling ALPHARMA to a reduction in such Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditure obligations or the External Factors otherwise entitling ALPHARMA to relief from the limitations on Royalty reductions in Section 3.3(a)(ii) do not also adversely affect such other Product that ALPHARMA is marketing in the Field in the Territory, which absence of adverse affect on such other Product ALPHARMA shall have the burden of proving.  

4.3Remedy for Lack of Diligence.  For any period specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, if ALPHARMA fails to spend the required amount as specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, ALPHARMA's sole and exclusive liability and IDEA's sole and exclusive remedy for such failure shall be that ALPHARMA shall pay to IDEA the excess of the required amount over the amount actually spent within [**] days of receiving a written demand therefor or, if earlier, within [**] days of ALPHARMA's determination that it failed to spend such required amounts.

4.4Satisfaction of Diligence Obligations.  As to the periods specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, ALPHARMA's satisfaction of its spending obligations under Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 shall be deemed to fully satisfy any and all obligations that ALPHARMA has under this Agreement to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commercialize a Licensed Product.  If ALPHARMA does not satisfy its obligations as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 (either by meeting the spending obligations specified therein or making the payment specified in Section 4.3), such failure shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.  For any period not covered by Section 4.1 or 4.2, IDEA's sole and exclusive remedy for any failure of ALPHARMA to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commercialize a Licensed Product shall be termination pursuant to Section 10.5.

4.5Diligence Reporting.  Until the expiration of all Royalty Terms for all Licensed Products, ALPHARMA shall, at least once per Calendar Year, submit to IDEA a report in writing (i) setting forth the status of development, marketing and sales of Licensed Products and the development, marketing, sales and promotion activities undertaken by ALPHARMA and on its behalf during the last Calendar Year and (ii) evidencing compliance with the obligations set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, including but not limited to compliance with its Market Development Expenditures and Sales, Marketing and Education Expenditures obligations.  After the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product, such report shall also include a summary of ALPHARMA's commercialization plans for Licensed Products for the forthcoming Calendar Year

4.6Diligence Records.  ALPHARMA shall keep complete and accurate records of amounts expended by it pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2 for five years after the end of the last period covered by Section 4.2.  For the sole purpose of verifying such expenditures, IDEA shall have the right annually at IDEA's expense to retain an independent certified public accountant selected by IDEA and reasonably acceptable to ALPHARMA, to review records specifically relating to such expenditures in the location(s) where such records are held by ALPHARMA upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours and under obligations of confidence.  Results of such review shall be made available to both IDEA and ALPHARMA.  Any underspending determined by such review shall promptly be paid, if not previously paid by ALPHARMA pursuant to Section 4.3, (subject to the next sentence) by ALPHARMA to IDEA in satisfaction of ALPHARMA's obligations under Section 4.3; provided that any dispute arising out of any review conducted pursuant to this Section 4.6 and any other dispute arising out of ALPHARMA's obligations under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with Section 14.10.  Either Party may submit such dispute to such binding arbitration and ALPHARMA shall not be required to pay any amount disputed by it until [**] days after the decision in such arbitration.  If ALPHARMA is shown to have underspent pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 (after giving effect to payments by ALPHARMA pursuant to Section 4.3) and such underspending exceeds five percent (5%) over any reporting period, ALPHARMA shall also reimburse IDEA for the cost of such review (with the cost of the review to be paid by IDEA in all other cases).

4.7Product Launch.  ALPHARMA will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commercially launch Diractin in the Territory as promptly as practicable following Approval and shall do so within [**] months after the date of such Approval unless it is unable to do so because of material supply chain problems; provided that if IDEA's representation in Section 9.2(l) is true and ALPHARMA has not commercially launched Diractin in the Territory within [**] months after the date of such Approval because of material supply chain problems, then ALPHARMA shall thereafter use its best efforts to promptly commercially launch Diractin in the Territory.  IDEA's sole remedy for any breach by ALPHARMA of ALPHARMA's obligations set forth in the previous sentence shall be termination pursuant to Section 10.5.  In addition to the foregoing, ALPHARMA shall consult with IDEA within [**] days after the filing by ALPHARMA of an NDA for Diractin regarding ALPHARMA's plans for commercial manufacture and supply of Diractin, and shall in good faith consider any feedback provided by IDEA with respect to such commercial manufacture and supply plans.  ALPHARMA acknowledges that the foregoing consultation obligation is intended to provide IDEA with an opportunity to provide ALPHARMA with feedback regarding manufacture and supply planning that may be helpful in mitigating the risk of material supply chain problems causing a delay in the commercial launch of Diractin.  In connection with such consultations, the Parties acknowledge that they will discuss and consider in good faith any modifications to the obligations set forth in this Section 4.7 that may be necessary or appropriate in view of any supply chain issues that arise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to ALPHARMA's obligation to use the efforts specified above in this Section 4.7 to commercially launch Diractin in the Territory as promptly as practicable following Approval, ALPHARMA shall retain final decision-making authority over its manufacture and supply planning for Diractin.

4.8OTC Matters.  The Parties agree that, subject to the following provisions of this Section 4.8, Licensed Products shall be used, sold, marketed and distributed in the Territory as prescription-only products.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for a given Licensed Product:
(a)the FDA requires that such Licensed Product be available for sale in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market in the Territory; or

(b)Generic Competition exists or is reasonably expected within [**] months with respect to such Licensed Product in the Territory,

then ALPHARMA shall be free to seek Approval for the use, sale, marketing and distribution of such Licensed Product in the OTC market in the Territory.  Except as otherwise permitted under the foregoing sentence of this Section 4.8, ALPHARMA agrees that it will not seek Approval for the use, sale, marketing and distribution of any Licensed Product in the OTC market without receiving the prior written consent of IDEA, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

ARTICLE 5 - RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURE

5.1with the descriptions therefor set forth in Schedule I.  In carrying out the Specified Studies, IDEA shall, and shall obtain agreement from any third party contractors engaged by it to perform the Specified Studies to, perform all aspects of the Specified Studies in a good and professional manner, in accordance with cGCP and all laws and regulations applicable to studies the results of which are intended to be used to support NDAs in the Territory.  IDEA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Specified Studies within the timeframes set forth in Schedule I (which timeframes shall start as to the Phase 3 clinical trials included in the Specified Studies on the date on which milestone 2 (as defined in Section 3.2) is achieved).  If ALPHARMA requests a change to any such study from what is specified in Schedule I before the start of such study, IDEA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such change as requested by ALPHARMA (unless IDEA reasonably believes that implementing such change would create an undue safety risk or otherwise constitute an unsound practice that could jeopardize the development of Licensed Products, in which case IDEA shall communicate such concerns to ALPHARMA and the Parties shall seek to find a reasonable manner for accomplishing the development objectives underlying the change request); provided that ALPHARMA shall be solely responsible for any increase in expense or time delay for the Specified Studies resulting from any change request made by ALPHARMA.  ALPHARMA shall pay for any increase in cost or expense incurred by IDEA resulting from implementing a change requested by ALPHARMA within [**] days of receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor from IDEA.  IDEA shall not be required to accept any change proposed by ALPHARMA that materially increases the scope of any of the Specified Studies.  In performing the Specified Studies, IDEA shall consult with ALPHARMA and shall keep ALPHARMA promptly informed on an ongoing basis regarding all aspects of the Specified Studies.  IDEA will provide ALPHARMA promptly with a copy of all interim and final reports prepared by or on behalf of IDEA with respect to the Specified Studies.  All such reports and other data and information resulting from or related to the Specified Studies shall belong to ALPHARMA and constitute Confidential Information of ALPHARMA for purposes of this Agreement and IDEA hereby assigns all of its right, title and interest therein to ALPHARMA.  If IDEA is in breach of any of its obligations under this Section 5.1 and such breach remains uncured for [**] days after ALPHARMA gives written notice to IDEA of such breach, ALPHARMA shall have the right to step-in and take over the management and direction of the Specified Studies (including without limitation the right to manage and direct the activities of all third party contractors engaged to perform any aspects of the Specified Studies).  IDEA shall cooperate, at its own expense, with the exercise of ALPHARMA's step-in right (including without limitation procuring the cooperation of its employees and contractors and providing all relevant information), and all costs and expenses of conducting the Specified Studies will remain IDEA's sole responsibility.  IDEA will not be in breach of this Section 5.1 as a result of delays in meeting a timeframe set forth in Schedule I of less than [**] months so long as (notwithstanding that delay) IDEA is using commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under this Section 5.1 in accordance with such timeframe.

5.2Data Sharing and Regulatory Cooperation.  IDEA shall assist ALPHARMA, as reasonably requested by ALPHARMA, in connection with any NDA filings or other regulatory matters or submissions relating to the Specified Studies in the Territory at ALPHARMA's cost (other than internal personnel costs of IDEA).  ALPHARMA shall assist IDEA, as reasonably requested by IDEA, in connection with any regulatory approval application filings or other regulatory matters or submissions relating to the Specified Studies outside the Territory at IDEA's cost (other than internal personnel costs of ALPHARMA).  The Parties each acknowledge that such assistance shall include, but not be limited to, the following, but is not expected to require significant expenditures of time or other resources:
(a)Right to Use Data.  Each Party shall have the right to use the data and results of the Specified Studies for the development of Licensed Products in the case of ALPHARMA and its Affiliates and sublicensees or Products in the case of IDEA and its Affiliates and sublicensees (i.e., ALPHARMA shall have the right to use such data for the development of, and to seek Registrations and Approvals for, Licensed Products in accordance with this Agreement and IDEA shall have the right to use such data for the development of, and to seek Registrations and Approvals for, as well as to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, have sold and import Products in the exercise of IDEA's retained rights with respect to Products outside the Territory and Products that are not Licensed Products in the Territory).

(b)Right of Reference or Use.  Each Party shall grant to the other Party a "Right of Reference or Use," as that term is defined in 21 C.F.R. Section 314.3(b), and any foreign equivalents, to any and all data and information relating to the Specified Studies or Licensed Products or Products, as the case may be, and necessary for such Party to submit a complete NDA for Licensed Products in the Territory in the case of ALPHARMA or outside the Territory in the case of IDEA, and each Party agrees to sign, and cause its Affiliates to sign, any instruments and take any actions reasonably requested by the other Party in order to effect such grant.  Alternatively, at each Party's request, the other Party shall provide to the requesting Party complete copies of all documents, including without limitation pre-clinical and clinical databases (raw case report files and final study reports, pharmacology and toxicology reports, regulatory information, and such other information and data as is reasonably requested), documents related to pharmacology, toxicology, chemistry, manufacturing and controls, batch records, manufacturing information, analytical and quality control, as necessary for the requesting Party's submission of a complete NDA or foreign equivalent for any Licensed Product in the Territory in the case of ALPHARMA or outside the Territory in the case of IDEA.

5.3Development Loan.  At any time after January 1, [**] and prior to December 31, [**], IDEA may request from ALPHARMA, and ALPHARMA shall make, loans to IDEA totaling up to an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time of twenty million US dollars (US$20,000,000) so long as the aggregate principal amount borrowed from time to time does not exceed the aggregate expenditures previously made by IDEA in respect of the Specified Studies; provided that (i) IDEA shall give [**] days' notice of any drawdown it requests, and (ii) IDEA shall not be eligible for, and ALPHARMA shall not be required to make, any such loan after the milestone payments for the first and second milestones set forth in Section 3.2 have been paid to IDEA and IDEA shall repay the outstanding balance of any such loan (with interest thereon, as described below) immediately upon receipt of the second of such milestone payments (or, at ALPHARMA's option, ALPHARMA may withhold any such outstanding balance (with interest thereon, as described below) from the second of such milestone payments and apply such withheld amount to reduce such balance (and interest thereon).  All outstanding loan amounts shall bear interest at an annual rate of annualized U.S. Dollar one month LIBOR + [**]%, compounded monthly.  Such loans shall be with full recourse to IDEA and, if not due earlier, shall become due on December 31, [**].  From and after the date on which such loans become due, ALPHARMA shall have the right to withhold the outstanding balance of any such loan (including interest amounts) from any payment otherwise due from ALPHARMA to IDEA under this Agreement and apply such withheld amount to reduce such balance and interest thereon.

5.4Coordination of Development Efforts.  ALPHARMA and IDEA will discuss with each other their respective plans for the development of Products that are based, in whole or in part, on the Licensed Technology, within and outside the Territory, to the extent reasonably necessary or desirable to enable one another to express concerns regarding any potential adverse regulatory or safety impact of one Party's development of such Products on such Products being developed and/or commercialized by the other Party.  Each Party shall in good faith consider any such regulatory or safety concerns expressed by the other Party.

5.5Technology Transfer.
(a)Initial Assistance.  From and after the Effective Date, IDEA shall, as requested by ALPHARMA, furnish ALPHARMA with copies of, and provide ALPHARMA with ongoing access to, all information or documentation in the Control of the IDEA Group relating to, or necessary or useful to exploit ALPHARMA's licenses under the Licensed Technology, which information and documentation includes, but is not limited to: (i) all Licensed Know-How, (ii) all other information necessary to manufacture, or useful in the manufacture of, any Licensed Product in the Field (including without limitation materials relating to process conditions, in process controls, analytic methodology and formulation), and (iii) all clinical and pre-clinical data, documentation and information relating to or that may be necessary or useful for Registration of any Licensed Product (including without limitation all pre-clinical and clinical databases, raw case report files and final study reports, toxicology reports, and other regulatory, scientific, safety and medical information).  Until the second anniversary of the Effective Date, IDEA shall make available to ALPHARMA appropriate personnel of the IDEA Group (but not in excess of [**]% of one full-time equivalent employee), as reasonably requested by ALPHARMA from time to time, to assist in the effectuation of the technology transfer contemplated by this Section 5.5(a).  For the avoidance of doubt, IDEA's obligations and ALPHARMA's rights under this Section 5.5(a) with respect to data, documentation and information generated in the Celebrex Comparator Sub-Study are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.2,

(b)Improvements.

ARTICLE 6 - CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICITY

6.1Confidentiality Obligation.  All information disclosed by one Party to the other or developed by the Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement ("Confidential Information") shall be maintained confidential and used only for the purposes of the research, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of any Licensed Products as described in this Agreement and in accordance with this Article 6 ("Purposes").  Each Party may disclose the other's Confidential Information to an Affiliate, agent, consultant or sublicensee, who is under a written obligation of confidentiality and non-use at least substantially equivalent to the obligations of this Article 6, and who agree to maintain such information in confidence and to use such information only for the Purposes.  For the avoidance of doubt, however, the Parties shall each be free to disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement to its Affiliates, to its existing and prospective shareholders, prospective investors, lenders, acquirors, acquirees, licensees and sublicensees and to its consultants and advisors subject to an obligation of confidentiality and non-use at least substantially equivalent to the obligations of this Article 6.  The term of maintaining confidentiality of all such information and the limitations on use set forth in this Section 6.1 shall be in effect until the later to occur of a period of ten (10) years after the date of first disclosure to the receiving Party or until five (5) years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.  Each Party shall guard any confidential information of the other Party with the same level of diligence as it normally guards any of its own internal confidential, proprietary information but no less than reasonable care.  For the sake of clarity, any information with respect to any Licensed Products in the Territory is the Confidential Information of ALPHARMA, not IDEA, regardless of whether such information was developed or disclosed to ALPHARMA by IDEA.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be relieved of the confidentiality and limited use obligations of this Agreement if:
(a)the information was previously known to the receiving Party as evidenced by the prior written records of such Party;

(b)the information is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the receiving Party;

(c)the information is acquired in good faith in the future by the receiving Party from a third party not under an obligation of confidence to the disclosing party with respect to such information; or

(d)the information is independently developed by the receiving Party without reliance on or reference to the Confidential Information disclosed by the disclosing Party.

In addition, IDEA shall treat all trade secrets and other information of a confidential nature that is included in the Licensed Know-How as confidential information of ALPHARMA as to which IDEA is the receiving Party, and the foregoing exceptions set forth in clauses (a) and (d) above shall not relieve IDEA of its nondisclosure obligations with respect thereto.

6.2Exempt Disclosures.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 6, a receiving Party may:
(a)subject to Section 5.2(d), disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to a Regulatory Authority that is necessary to conduct clinical trials or obtain Approvals of a Product in a particular jurisdiction licensed to or reserved to the receiving Party, including without limitation registering such clinical trials; or

(b)disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to a government agency if the disclosure is necessary to protect the health and safety of the Party's workers or the public or as required by law;

(c)disclose Confidential Information of the other Party by filing patent applications in accordance with Section 6.5, the filing of which is contemplated by this Agreement; or

(d)disclose Confidential Information of the other Party and information regarding this Agreement as required to comply with applicable law, regulation or legal process, including without limitation disclosure rules and regulations under applicable securities laws or the rules of any stock exchange on which such Party's securities are listed.

In making such disclosures as set forth in this Section 6.2, the Party making the permitted disclosures shall use reasonable efforts to promptly first notify the owner of the Confidential Information so as to allow the owner of the Confidential Information an opportunity to seek a protective order or otherwise limit any such disclosure.  In any event, the Party making the permitted disclosures shall use reasonable efforts to only disclose such Confidential Information of the other Party as is required to be disclosed pursuant to the law, regulation, rule or order, and shall use its reasonable efforts to obligate the recipient to secrecy on the same terms as provided in this Agreement.  Each Party shall restrict the disclosure of Confidential Information of the other Party so that only the Persons that need to know it shall be informed and the disclosure is limited to only such portions as necessary for the permitted purposes of the disclosure.

6.3Identification of the Parties.  Except as otherwise permitted under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 and subject to Section 6.4, each Party shall not state or imply, in any publication, advertisement, sales promotional material, or other medium:
(a)the name of the other Party or the name(s) of any employee(s) of the other Party; or

(b)the name of any Affiliate of the other Party or the name(s) of any employee(s) of such Affiliate,

without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed for more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that (I) either Party may state that it has licensed the rights hereunder and (ii) each Party may disclose the name of the other Party, such other Party's Affiliates, or such other Party's or its Affiliate's employees to the extent required by law.

6.4Public and Private Disclosure.
(a)Public Announcements.  Except as set forth in Section 6.4(c) below, the filing of a copy of this Agreement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission or other securities commission of such other jurisdictions whose laws may apply to either Party and such other public announcements or filings as may be required by law, regulation or rule of a governmental agency or stock exchange, no Party shall disclose this Agreement or make any public announcement or filing concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other.  If a Party is required to make an announcement or disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or listing requirement (including, without limitation, the US Securities and Exchange Commission or other securities commission of such other jurisdictions whose laws may apply to either Party) or as otherwise permitted under this Section 6.4, it will, if practicable under the circumstances, provide the other Party with at least [**] days' advance written notice of the text of any such written announcement or disclosure or content of any non-written disclosure or announcement, so that the other Party will have an opportunity to comment upon the announcement or disclosure.

(b)Exempt Announcements.  Notwithstanding the above, either Party shall have the right to disclose, in private communications or public announcements, the following:

(i)the signing of this Agreement (provided that IDEA may not so disclose such signing prior to disclosure by ALPHARMA),

(ii)the amounts of the payments specified in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this Agreement (provided that IDEA may not so disclose such amounts prior to disclosure by ALPHARMA),

(iii)the final results of the Specified Studies (provided that IDEA may not so disclose such results prior to disclosure by ALPHARMA), and

(iv)subject to Section 6.5, such Party's own development and commercialization activities with respect to Licensed Products.

(c)Announcement by ALPHARMA.  ALPHARMA shall be entitled to issue a press release at any time within 20 days of the Execution Date concerning its entry into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated in or effected by it; provided that ALPHARMA shall provide a draft of such press release to IDEA and will consider any comments made in relation thereto by IDEA in good faith.

6.5Scientific Publication.  The Parties hereby mutually acknowledge that both IDEA and ALPHARMA, as is customary for technology driven companies, have a vital interest in managing and disclosing information and news for scientific and commercial purposes.  The Parties shall cooperate in appropriate publication of the results of research and development work performed pursuant to Section 5.1 but subject to the predominating interest to obtain patent protection for any patentable subject matter.  To this end, it is agreed that prior to any public disclosure of such results (including but not limited to the filing of patent application(s)), the Party proposing disclosure shall send the other Party a copy of the information to be disclosed, and shall allow the other Party [**] days from the date of receipt in which to determine whether the information to be disclosed contains subject matter owned (in whole or in part) by the reviewing Party for which patent protection should be sought prior to disclosure, or otherwise contains Confidential Information of the reviewing Party which such Party desires to maintain as a trade secret.  Each Party shall designate a representative for receipt of proposed publications from the other Party.  Confidential Information of the reviewing Party which such Party desires to maintain as a trade secret shall not be published if the reviewing Party objects in writing within such [**] day period.  If notification is not received during the [**] day period, the Party proposing disclosure shall be free to proceed with the disclosure.  If due to a valid business reason or a reasonable belief by the reviewing Party that the disclosure contains subject matter for which patent protection should be sought, then prior to the expiration of the [**] day period, the reviewing Party shall so notify the disclosing Party, who shall then delay public disclosure of the information for an additional period of up to [**] days to permit the preparation and filing of a patent application on the subject matter to be disclosed or other action to be taken.  The Party proposing disclosure shall thereafter be free to publish or disclose the information.

6.6Escalation of Confidentiality Disputes.  If at any time either Party believes in good faith that its Confidential Information has been used for a purpose other than the Purposes, then such Party shall notify the other Party in writing of such fact, setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons justifying its position.  Such other Party shall respond in [**] days setting forth its conclusions, after a good faith reasonable investigation.  If the Parties are unable to come to agreement within [**] days thereafter, either or both Parties may elect to submit the matter to arbitration under Section 14.10, provided nothing herein shall prohibit the aggrieved Party from seeking injunctive relief in the courts to prevent or limit such disclosure of Confidential Information.

7.5Abandoned Patent Rights.  During the term of this Agreement IDEA shall promptly notify ALPHARMA in the event IDEA decides at any time to abandon or discontinue prosecution of any one or more of the Patent Applications included in the Licensed Patent Rights.

ARTICLE 8 - INFRINGEMENT

8.1Awareness of Competitive Infringement.  If IDEA or ALPHARMA becomes aware of Competitive Infringement by a third party of any Licensed Patent Rights in the Territory, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing to that effect (an "Infringement Notice").  "Competitive Infringement," as used in this Article 8, shall mean infringement by a Topical product approved for the treatment of pain or reasonably anticipated to be approved for the treatment of pain within twelve (12) months that commercially competes or is reasonably anticipated to commercially compete with a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory.

8.2Initial Action Against Competitive Infringement Claims.  With respect to Competitive Infringements, during the [**] day period following any Infringement Notice, ALPHARMA shall have the first right to bring an action against any infringer of any of the Licensed Patent Rights in the Territory if ALPHARMA believes in good faith that the infringer's unit sales of the competitive product potentially could total [**] percent ([**]%) or more of Alpharma's unit sales in any Calendar Quarter and so notifies IDEA.  In any such action brought by ALPHARMA, any and all damages or other monies awarded or received in settlement of such suit shall first be used to reimburse any and all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees) incurred in such enforcement action by both Parties on a proportional basis.  Subject to Section 8.10, ALPHARMA shall be entitled to all remaining damages or other monies awarded or received in settlement of such suit arising from such infringement.  Each Party will cooperate with the other in any such suit and shall have the right to consult with the other and be represented by its own counsel at its own expense.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.2 or in Sections 8.9 and 8.10, if IDEA believes that any action that ALPHARMA elects to bring under this Section 8.2 or under Section 8.9 is not advisable due to good faith concerns about potential adverse legal consequences of such actions, IDEA may notify ALPHARMA at any time prior to ALPHARMA's initiation of such action that IDEA wishes to be indemnified, defended and held harmless from and against any such adverse legal consequences that arise from such action, and in such event (a) ALPHARMA shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless IDEA from and against such adverse legal consequences (in the same manner that ALPHARMA provides indemnification with respect to claims covered by Section 11.1) and (b) IDEA shall not be entitled to any share of any recovery by ALPHARMA of damages or other monies awarded or received in settlement of such action beyond reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred in such action as set forth in this Section 8.2.  ALPHARMA shall control any such suit brought by ALPHARMA pursuant to this Section 8.2, except that ALPHARMA and IDEA shall jointly control the defense of any counterclaim challenging the validity of any Licensed Patent Rights.  The Party bringing such suit shall have the right to join the other Party in any lawsuit if reasonably required to file or maintain the lawsuit, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

8.3IDEA's Consultation Right.  ALPHARMA shall consult with IDEA on the conduct of claims it controls pursuant to Section 8.2 (including without limitation providing full and timely information on such claims and the steps planned and taken in relation thereto) and shall not unreasonably refuse to give effect to any reasonable requests made by IDEA in relation to such conduct.

8.4IDEA's Right to Act Against Competitive Infringement.  If, after the expiration of said [**] days from the date of an Infringement Notice as to which ALPHARMA has the first right to bring an action pursuant to Section 8.2, ALPHARMA has not (i) obtained a settlement from such infringer for such infringement or (ii) brought a suit or administrative action against the third party infringer, then IDEA shall have the right after such [**] day notice period, to bring suit against such infringer for infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights and may join ALPHARMA as a party plaintiff if required to maintain the lawsuit and:
(a)ALPHARMA will cooperate with IDEA in any such suit for infringement of a patent of the Licensed Patent Rights  in the Field and Territory brought by IDEA against a third party, and shall have the right to consult with IDEA and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense; and

(b)any and all damages or other monies awarded or received in settlement of such suit shall first be used to reimburse any and all costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) incurred in such enforcement action by both Parties on a proportional basis.  Thereafter, IDEA shall be entitled to retain all damages or other monies awarded or received in settlement of such suit.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.4 or in Sections 8.2 or 8.9, ALPHARMA shall not be required to be joined in or to participate in or cooperate with any action that ALPHARMA has elected not to bring due to good faith concerns about potential adverse legal consequences of joining, participating in or cooperating with such action; provided that nothing in this sentence shall relieve ALPHARMA from any obligation to comply with applicable law or legal process.

8.5Settlement of Competitive Infringement.  IDEA may not agree to settle any lawsuit initiated by IDEA pursuant to Section 8.4 without the prior written consent of ALPHARMA, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Such response shall be provided by ALPHARMA in no event later than [**] days from the date of the request for consent by IDEA.

(b)ALPHARMA to Act Second.  If, after the expiration of said [**] days from the date of said Other Competitive Infringement Notice, IDEA has not (i) obtained a settlement from such infringer for such infringement or (ii) brought a suit or administrative action against the third party infringer, then ALPHARMA shall have the right after such [**] day notice period, to bring suit against such infringer for infringement.

(c)Consultation and Cooperation.  Each Party shall consult and cooperate with the other Party on the conduct of claims it controls pursuant to this Section 8.6 (including without limitation providing full and timely information on such claims and the steps planned and taken in relation thereto) and shall not unreasonably refuse to give effect to any reasonable requests made by the other Party in relation to such conduct.  The other Party shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel at its own expense.  The Party bringing such suit shall have the right to join the other Party in any lawsuit if reasonably required to file or maintain the lawsuit.

The Party bringing suit pursuant to this Section 8.6 may not agree to settle without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Such response shall be provided by the other Party in no event later than [**] days from the date of the request for consent.

(e)Allocation of Damages.  In any such action brought by either Party in respect of an Other Competitive Infringement, any and all damages or other monies awarded or received in settlement of such suit shall first be used to reimburse any and all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees) incurred in such enforcement action by both Parties on a proportional basis.  Subject to Section 8.10, ALPHARMA shall be entitled to all remaining damages or other monies awarded or received in settlement of such suit arising from such infringement.

ALPHARMA will file for all such Patent Term Extensions at ALPHARMA's expense, and IDEA will execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested to obtain such Patent Term Extensions, including designating ALPHARMA as its agent for such purpose.  If ALPHARMA determines not to so file for any Patent Term Extension, it will give notice of such determination to IDEA at least [**] days prior to the date on which such a filing must be made or the right to do so is lost, and IDEA will have the right to make such filing, at IDEA's cost and expense, in accordance with applicable law.

8.8Patent Rights Listings. To the extent required or permitted by law, including the patent listing requirements of the FDCA as set forth in 21 U.S.C. Section 355(b)(1) and (c)(2), ALPHARMA may list with the applicable regulatory authorities during the term of this Agreement, information regarding any Licensed Patent Rights relating to any Licensed Product in the Territory that is the subject of a Registration.  In connection with such listings, the Parties shall meet to evaluate and identify all potential applicable Licensed Patent Rights for any Licensed Product that ALPHARMA intends or has begun to commercialize, and that has or will become the subject of a Registration submitted to FDA or other Regulatory Authority in the Territory; provided, however that (i) ALPHARMA will not unreasonably refuse to list any Licensed Patent Rights that IDEA requests that ALPHARMA list pursuant to a notice given by IDEA at least [**] days prior to the listing deadline and the listing of which is consistent with applicable law and (ii) subject to the foregoing clause (i), ALPHARMA will retain final decision making authority over the decision to list (or de-list) any Patent Rights covering a Licensed Product.

8.9Patent Rights Certifications and Infringement Suits.  Each Party will immediately give notice to the other Party of any patent certification received from the sponsor of an abbreviated new drug application or a 505(b)(2) NDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the following provisions of this Section 8.9 will apply for certifications claiming that any listed Patent Right for a Licensed Product is invalid, unenforceable or that no infringement will arise from the manufacture, use or sale of a third party's product (i.e., a Paragraph IV Certification under 21 C.F.R. Section 314.50(i) or 314.94(a)(12)).  ALPHARMA shall have the first right, but not the obligation to bring suit against the third party that filed the certification.  If ALPHARMA decides to bring suit, ALPHARMA shall have sole control of all decisions regarding all aspects of such litigation and IDEA agrees to be joined as a party to such suit if necessary for ALPHARMA to bring or maintain such litigation.

(a)if IDEA gives to ALPHARMA a notice pursuant to this Section 10.5 of a material breach by ALPHARMA, and ALPHARMA notifies IDEA during the ninety (90) day cure period set forth above that ALPHARMA disputes the basis for termination pursuant to this Section 10.5, then this Agreement shall not terminate unless and until an arbitral tribunal issues a final award pursuant to Section 14.10 upholding such basis for termination (or unless and until ALPHARMA is no longer disputing such basis, if earlier) and within thirty (30) days thereafter ALPHARMA fails to cure the breach(es) on which the arbitral tribunal based such award; provided, however, that this Section 10.5(a) shall cease to apply with respect to material uncured breaches by ALPHARMA that occur after ALPHARMA has been the non-prevailing party (as determined by the arbitral tribunal) in either (i) two arbitrations under Section 14.10 with respect to disputes as to claimed material breaches of this Agreement by ALPHARMA instituted within any rolling 48-month period or (ii) three consecutive arbitrations under Section 14.10 with respect to disputes as to claimed material breaches of this Agreement by ALPHARMA; and

(b)ALPHARMA may not terminate this Agreement for breach by IDEA of IDEA's obligations under Section 5.1 of this Agreement, but shall retain all other rights hereunder in respect of any such breach.

(a)by ninety (90) days' written notice to ALPHARMA if (i) ALPHARMA has not made the payments applicable to the achievement of milestones 1 and 2 (as described in Section 3.2) by [**], other than as a result of IDEA's failure to perform its obligations hereunder or otherwise cooperate with ALPHARMA as reasonably requested by ALPHARMA with respect to the achievement of such milestones, and (ii) ALPHARMA has not within the ninety (90) day notice period made such milestone payments to IDEA, whether or not due (and any such payments which are made by ALPHARMA will be deemed to have satisfied such milestone 1 and 2 obligations);

(b)by thirty (30) days' written notice to ALPHARMA given by IDEA during the sixty (60) day period that begins ninety (90) days after IDEA has provided ALPHARMA with full and complete written copies of the final studies referenced in clauses (a) and (b) of the description of Milestone 1 in Section 3.2, if ALPHARMA has not paid such Milestone 1 during such ninety (90) day period;

(c)by thirty (30) days' written notice to ALPHARMA given by IDEA during the sixty (60) day period that begins ninety (90) days after the events specified in clauses (a) and (b)(i) of the description of Milestone 3 in Section 3.2 have occurred if ALPHARMA has not paid such Milestone 3 during such ninety (90) day period; or

(d)by thirty (30) days' written notice to ALPHARMA given by IDEA if ALPHARMA or one of its Affiliates shall have brought an action or proceeding challenging the validity or enforceability of any Licensed Patent Rights.

10.7Effect Of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, other than a termination by ALPHARMA pursuant to Section 10.5 for IDEA's breach:
(a)the licenses granted by IDEA to ALPHARMA under this Agreement shall automatically terminate and revert to IDEA;

(b)ALPHARMA shall grant to IDEA an exclusive (even as to ALPHARMA), worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, fully-paid license, under all Intellectual Property Rights Controlled by ALPHARMA and practiced or applied by ALPHARMA or its Affiliates on or before the date of termination in connection with the development or commercialization of Licensed Products in the Territory in the Field, with the right to grant sublicenses, to develop, make, have, made, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale and import Licensed Products in the Territory in the Field;

(c)ALPHARMA shall promptly for the Territory in the Field:

(i)transfer and assign to IDEA all pre-clinical and clinical data and information relating to Licensed Products in ALPHARMA's or its Affiliates' possession or control;

(ii)transfer and assign to IDEA all of ALPHARMA's and its Affiliates' rights, title and interests in and to all Trademarks, regulatory materials with respect to Licensed Products, including all INDs and all foreign equivalents thereof and all Registrations and Approvals, drug dossiers and master files with respect to Licensed Products, and

(iii)transfer and assign to IDEA copies of all reports, records, regulatory correspondence and other materials in ALPHARMA's or its Affiliates' possession or control relating to the pre-clinical and clinical development, Registration, Approval, manufacture, distribution and sale of Licensed Products, including without limitation the safety database and such reports, records, regulatory correspondence and other materials relating to process conditions, in-process controls, analytical methodology and formulation, in each case as developed by ALPHARMA or its Affiliates and relating to the manufacture of Licensed Products; (it being understood that ALPHARMA may retain copies of all the items referred to in this Section 10.7(c) for its records and internal use); and

(d)to the extent ALPHARMA or an ALPHARMA Affiliate is engaged in the manufacture of a Licensed Product as of the date notice of termination is given, ALPHARMA or such Affiliate shall, as requested by IDEA, manufacture and supply IDEA's requirements for such Licensed Product for the Territory in the Field from the effective date of such termination until such time as IDEA secures an alternative commercial manufacturing source, or until 12 months after from the effective date of  termination, whichever is earlier; provided that IDEA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure a satisfactory alternative commercial manufacturing source as promptly as reasonably practicable following the effective date of termination.  In addition, at IDEA's option, as of the effective date of such termination (i) ALPHARMA shall permit IDEA to purchase all or any part of ALPHARMA's worldwide unsold inventory of raw materials for Licensed Products, work-in-progress Licensed Products and finished Licensed Products and (ii) ALPHARMA shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assign to IDEA any third party manufacturing contract relating to such Licensed Products to which ALPHARMA or any of its Affiliates is a party (or the applicable provisions thereof, as the case may be); provided that, if ALPHARMA is unable to assign to IDEA any such third party manufacturing contract (or the applicable provisions thereof, as the case may be), such obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to assign such contract shall be deemed to be satisfied if ALPHARMA notifies IDEA upon or promptly following such termination of such non-assignability and continues to supply IDEA's requirements for Licensed Product during the period set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10.7(d).  All Licensed Product supplied to IDEA by ALPHARMA pursuant to this Section 10.7(d) shall be supplied at a price equal to ALPHARMA's cost thereof (determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied) plus [**] percent ([**]%).

11.4Conduct of Claims.  In the event that any Party hereunder seeks indemnification under this Article 11, such Party shall: (a) promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of any third party claim, suit or demand threatened or filed (but shall not be liable for any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby), (b) permit the Indemnifying Party to assume Diractin and control of the defense of third party claims resulting therefrom (including the right to settle such third party claims at the sole discretion of the Indemnifying Party, provided such settlement does not adversely affect the Indemnified Party), and (c) cooperate as requested (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) in the defense of such third party claims.

12.4License of the Trademarks.  IDEA hereby grants (with effect from the Effective Date), to ALPHARMA the exclusive right (with no obligation) to use the Exclusive Trademarks and the non-exclusive right (with no obligation) to use the Non-Exclusive Trademark, in each case royalty-free (and with the right to grant sublicenses) in connection with the sale of any Licensed Product in the Territory.

12.5Internet Use.  IDEA acknowledges that (i) ALPHARMA shall be entitled to use the New Brands on the internet, and (ii) the use of the Trademarks in the Territory shall include use of the Trademarks on the internet, and that the internet may be accessed by users outside the Territory.

12.7Quality Control.  ALPHARMA agrees that the nature and quality of the Licensed Products sold by ALPHARMA under the Trademarks in the U.S. shall be of sufficient quality to have been Approved by the NDA.  ALPHARMA agrees to supply IDEA with a sample of Licensed Products bearing the Trademarks upon request of IDEA for the purpose of enabling IDEA to examine the quality of the Products sold by ALPHARMA under the Trademarks.

12.8Limited Effect of Breach.  For the purposes of Section 10.5, no breach of this Article 12 shall entitle IDEA to terminate this Agreement; provided that if (a) ALPHARMA commits any material breach of this Article 12 which but for this Section 12.8 would entitle IDEA to terminate this Agreement and (b) such material breach remains uncured for ninety (90) days after IDEA gives written notice to ALPHARMA of such breach, IDEA will be entitled to terminate the licenses granted in Section 12.4 by written notice to ALPHARMA.

12.9Trademark Infringement.  ALPHARMA agrees to notify IDEA of any unauthorized use of any of the Trademarks by others in the Territory of which it becomes aware.  IDEA shall have the initial right to bring infringement or unfair competition proceedings involving such unauthorized use of the Trademarks.

The Party bringing such infringement or unfair competition proceedings shall be entitled to retain any monetary recovery.

12.10Term of Trademark License.  The license to use the Trademarks granted in Section 12.4 shall continue irrevocably in force and effect for the same term as the license to the Licensed Know-How granted to ALPHARMA in Section 2.1 of this Agreement.  After any termination or expiration of the licenses granted in Section 12.4 (including without limitation pursuant to Section 12.8), ALPHARMA shall have [**] days for it and its Affiliates and sublicensees to cease to use the Trademarks during which time it and they may (without limitation) use up packaging, advertising, marketing and promotional materials and sell off branded stock.

The home pages of the web sites (the "Web Sites") accessible through the uniform resource locator addresses [**], and [**] (the "Shared Home Pages") shall be shared between IDEA (and its licensees and members of the IDEA Group) and ALPHARMA (and its sublicensees and ALPHARMA's Affiliates) in order for each of them to market Licensed Products in the Field to the Parties' respective customers. IDEA  and ALPHARMA shall co-operate and use reasonable endeavors to ensure that there shall be no other web sites reachable by entering URL addresses within the second, third or lower level domains of "diractin.com" and "movexa.com", such domain names being collectively referred to as the "Shared Domains".  For the avoidance of doubt, a member of the IDEA Group shall remain the registrant of the Shared Domains after the Execution Date.

12.12Content of Shared Web Pages.  Without prejudice to the generality of Section 12.11 above, IDEA shall:

(b)place active hyperlinks from each country in the Territory on the map, from each of the Shared Home Pages to any web sites notified by ALPHARMA to IDEA in writing from time to time (the "Hyperlinked Sites");

(c)ensure that no trademarks of either the IDEA Group or ALPHARMA and its Affiliates (or their respective licensees) appear on the Shared Home Pages (other than the relevant one of "Diractin", "Transfersome" and "Movexa") without the prior written approval of the other; and

(d)use commercially reasonable endeavors to renew each of the registrations of the Shared Domains above with the appropriate domain name registry, as each domain name renewal becomes due (at its own cost).

12.13Maintenance of Web Pages.  IDEA will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Shared Home Pages of the Web Sites so that each is responsive to hypertext transfer protocol queries made by widely available browser applications (such that the Shared Home Pages will have the capability of handling consumer traffic which is consistent with web sites of this type in the pharmaceutical industry), other than those times in which such Shared Home Pages are temporarily unavailable due to technical outages from various causes outside of the reasonable control of IDEA (or its relevant internet service providers and web hosting service providers).

12.14No Transfer of Domains.  Nothing in this Agreement shall give ALPHARMA or its sublicensees any rights in or in relation to the Shared Domains except as set out in this Agreement.

12.15Redirection of Queries.  ALPHARMA shall promptly direct any consumer inquiries it receives that are clearly meant for the IDEA Group (or clearly relating to a territory outside the Territory) to the IDEA Group, and the IDEA Group shall promptly direct any consumer inquiries it receives that are clearly meant for ALPHARMA and/or its Affiliates and sublicensees (or clearly relating to any part of the Territory) to ALPHARMA, if such inquiries are received via the Shared Home Pages.

14.6Independent Contractors.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall operate to create a partnership between the Parties, or to authorise either party to act as agent for the other, and neither Party shall have authority to act in the name or on behalf of or otherwise to bind the other in any way (including but not limited to the making of any representation or warranty, the assumption of any obligation or liability and the exercise of any right or power).

14.10Arbitration.  Except with respect to any dispute arising out of or in connection with any indemnification obligation governed by Section 3.15 or Section 3.17, any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall first be submitted to the Parties' respective chief executive officers for amicable resolution, if possible, which submission shall be made by either Party delivering a written notice of such dispute to the other Party, whereupon the Parties' respective senior management shall consider such dispute, and shall meet at least once in person, to discuss such dispute, within twenty (20) days after the other Party's receipt of the written notice of such dispute.  Any such dispute that is not amicably resolved (or which the Parties agree they will not be able to resolve amicably) within the period of thirty (30) days from the date written notice of the dispute was given may be referred to and shall be finally resolved by arbitration under the rules (the "Rules") of the London Court of International Arbitration ("LCIA"), which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Section 14.10.

Except as provided below, the tribunal shall consist of three qualified arbitrators, each having experience in the pharmaceutical sector, one nominated by each Party within 21 days after the receiving Party's receipt of the Arbitration Notice and the third by the other two arbitrators within 21 days of the second being nominated, failing which the third arbitrator shall be nominated pursuant to the Rules.  Each Party shall procure that its nominee (when notified to the other Party) has already agreed to act as such.  If either such nominee thereafter refuses or becomes unable to act, the original nominating Party shall nominate a replacement within 21 days (failing which such replacement shall be nominated pursuant to the Rules). The language of the arbitration shall be English.  The place of the arbitration shall be London, England.  If requested by either Party and agreed by the other Party, to expedite any arbitration, the arbitral tribunal shall be composed of a single mutually agreed arbitrator who will be authorized to determine the procedural rules of such arbitral tribunal with the intention that the tribunal be able to resolve the disputed matter within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the notice to arbitrate.  Nothing in this Section 14.10 shall prevent or limit either Party from seeking or obtaining injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.

14.11Resolution of Tax Disputes.  In the event of a dispute arising out of or in connection with an indemnification obligation governed by Section 3.15 or Section 3.17, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute.  If such dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days following the receipt of written demand made pursuant to Section 3.15 or Section 3.17, as applicable, the Parties shall jointly retain an Independent Firm (as defined below) to resolve the dispute.

ALPHARMA INC.

Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant

Alpharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that IDEA AG, a German aktiengesellschaft, or its registered assigns (the "Registered Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time on or after the Approval Date (as defined below) and on or before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Termination Date (as defined below), a number of shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.20 par value per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"), determined in accordance with Section 1, at a purchase price per share determined in accordance with Section 1.  The shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the purchase price per share, each as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the "Warrant Shares" and the "Purchase Price," respectively.

1.Warrant Shares; Purchase Price.

(a)Subject to Section 1(d), the number of Warrant Shares shall be (i) $50,000,000 divided by (ii) 150% of the 30-Day Average Common Stock Trading Price (as defined below) as of the Phase III Milestone Date (as defined below); provided, however, that the number of Warrant Shares shall not, in any event, exceed 2,222,223 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof).

(b)Subject to Section 1(d), the Purchase Price shall be 150% of the 30-Day Average Common Stock Trading Price as of the Phase III Milestone Date (as defined below); provided, however, that the Purchase Price shall not, in any event, be less than $22.50 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof).

(c)Within 20 Business Days (as defined below) after the Phase III Milestone Date, the Company shall (unless Section 1(d) applies) deliver notice to the Registered Holder of the number of Warrant Shares and the Purchase Price as determined in accordance with Sections 1(a) and (b).  In the event that the Purchase Price would, but for the proviso in Section 1(b), be less than $22.50 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof), the Registered Holder may, within 20 Business Days after the receipt of such notice, deliver notice to the Company that it has irrevocably elected to cause the Company to repurchase this Warrant (subject to the occurrence of the Approval Date) in exchange for a cash payment to the Registered Holder of its Proportionate Part (as defined below) of $12,500,000.  Upon delivery of such notice, the Registered Holder's sole rights upon surrender or exercise of this Warrant shall be to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 1(c).  If the Registered Holder shall have delivered such notice, the Registered Holder may, at any time during the Exercise Period, deliver to the Company the original copy of this Warrant, a duly executed written instrument acknowledging that this Warrant is being so surrendered and that it is thereafter void, and instructions as to the account to which such payment should be sent by wire transfer.  Upon delivery of this Warrant and such acknowledgement and instructions, this Warrant shall immediately terminate and be void, and the Company shall, within five Business Days thereafter, pay to the Registered Holder its Proportionate Part of $12,500,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Registered Holder in the instructions referred to above.

(d)If, prior to the Phase III Milestone Date, there is consummated any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock will be converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Section 4(a), 4(b) or 4(d) below) (collectively, a "Reorganization"), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 1(a) and 1(b):
(i)the Purchase Price shall equal the greater of (x) the 30-Day Average Common Stock Trading Price as of the earlier of (1) the date on which such Reorganization is first publicly announced or (2) the date on which such Reorganization was consummated (the result of this clause (x), the "Reorganization Reference Price"), or (y) $22.50 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof), and

(ii)the number of Warrant Shares shall equal the lesser of (1) $50,000,000 divided by 150% of the Reorganization Reference Price determined in accordance with clause (i) above and (2) 2,222,223.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant will nevertheless be exercisable only during the Exercise Period (as defined below), and the cash, securities or other property receivable by the Registered Holder upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment as a result of such Reorganization as provided in Section 4(e).

(e)In the event that the Purchase Price would, but for the minimum price in clause (y) of Section 1(d)(i), have been less than $22.50 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof), the Registered Holder may, within 20 Business Days (as defined below) after the Phase III Milestone Date, deliver notice to the Company that it has irrevocably elected to cause the Company to repurchase this Warrant (subject to the occurrence of the Approval Date) in exchange for a cash payment to the Registered Holder of its Proportionate Part (as defined below) of $12,500,000, together with the cash payment described in Section 3(e).  Upon delivery of such notice, the Registered Holder's sole rights upon surrender or exercise of this Warrant shall be to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 1(e) and in Section 3(e).  If the Registered Holder shall have delivered such notice, the Registered Holder may, at any time during the Exercise Period, deliver to the Company the original copy of this Warrant, a duly executed written instrument acknowledging that this Warrant is being so surrendered and that it is thereafter void, and instructions as to the account to which such payment should be sent by wire transfer.  Upon delivery of this Warrant and such acknowledgement and instructions, this Warrant shall immediately terminate and be void, and the Company shall, within five Business Days thereafter, pay to the Registered Holder its Proportionate Part of $12,500,000, together with the cash payment described in Section 3(e), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Registered Holder in the instructions referred to above.

2.As used in this Warrant, the following terms have the following meanings:

(a)"30-Day Average Common Stock Trading Price" means, as of any date, the average of the closing sale prices for the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if the Common Stock does not trade on the New York Stock Exchange during such period, on the primary national securities exchange or another nationally recognized trading system on which the Common Stock trades during such period) over the trading days included in the 30 calendar days immediately preceding such date (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring during such period); provided, however, that if the Common Stock does not trade on a national securities exchange or another nationally recognized trading system during such period, the 30-Day Average Common Stock Trading Price as of such date shall be the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Stock as of such date, determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of Fair Market Value set forth below.

(b)"Approval Date" means the date on which the $45,000,000 or $65,000,000 milestone payment is due as a result of achievement of the fourth milestone set forth in Section 3.2 of the License Agreement (as defined below).

(c)"Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banks are required or permitted to be closed in New York City.

(d)"Exercise Period" means the period beginning on the Approval Date and ending on the Termination Date.

(e)"License Agreement" means the Exclusive License Agreement dated September 4, 2007, between IDEA AG and Alpharma Ireland Limited, an Irish corporation.

(f)"Phase III Milestone" means that the Company has publicly announced successful completion of either the Phase III trial of Diractin referred to as Trial 1 or the Phase III trial of Diractin referred to as Trial 2 in Schedule F of the License Agreement, with efficacy and safety results that the Company believes warrant proceeding (without conducting any additional or new clinical trials other than successful completion of the other of such Trial 1 or Trial 2) with the filing of a New Drug Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the approval of Diractin as a topical treatment for pain.

(g)"Phase III Milestone Date" means the date on which the Phase III Milestone has occurred.

(h)"Proportionate Part" means a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant (as of the date on which the Company repurchases this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, or as of the date on which this Warrant is exercised, as applicable) by the Registered Holder (giving effect to any subdivision of this Warrant pursuant to Section 7), and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Warrant Shares initially purchasable by all Registered Holders of this Warrant (as of the date on which the number of Warrant Shares is fixed, but subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after such date).

(i)"Termination Date" means the earliest to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Approval Date, (ii) the tenth anniversary of the date hereof, (iii) if the License Agreement terminates prior to Approval Date, the date of such termination of the License Agreement and (iv) if the Warrant is repurchased by the Company for $12,500,000 pursuant to Section 1, the date of such repurchase.

3.Exercise.

(a)Exercise for Cash.  The Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part and at any time, or from time to time, during the Exercise Period, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit I duly executed by or on behalf of the Registered Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.

(b)Cashless Exercise.  
(i)The Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time, during the Exercise Period, on a cashless basis, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit I duly executed by or on behalf of the Registered Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, by canceling a portion of this Warrant in payment of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.  In the event of an exercise pursuant to this Section 3(b), the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Registered Holder shall be determined according to the following formula:  

X = Y * (A-B)

          A

Where:  X = the number of Warrant Shares that shall be issued to the Registered Holder; 

Y =the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised (which shall include both the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Registered Holder and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of the Warrant being cancelled in payment of the Purchase Price); 

A =the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date (as defined below); and

B =the Purchase Price then in effect.

(ii)The Fair Market Value of any security, cash or other property as of any date shall be determined as follows:

(1)In the case of a security that is listed on a national securities exchange or another nationally recognized trading system as of such date, the Fair Market Value per share of one share (or other unit) of such security shall be deemed to be the average of the high and low reported sale prices per share (or other unit) of such security thereon on the trading day immediately preceding such date (provided that if no such price is reported on such day, the Fair Market Value per share of such security shall be determined pursuant to clause (2)).

(2)In the case of any security that is not listed on a national securities exchange or another nationally recognized trading system as of such date, the Fair Market Value per share (or other unit) as of such date shall be an amount determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") to represent the fair market value per share (or other unit) of such security, and the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be delayed until such determination is made and notice thereof is provided to the Registered Holder (whereupon the Registered Holder will be given at least three Business Days to determine whether to proceed with an exercise of this warrant pursuant to this Section 3(b)).

(3)In the case of any property other than any securities or cash, the Fair Market Value of such property as of such date shall be an amount determined by the Board to represent the fair market value of such property.

(4)In the case of any cash, the Fair Market Value of such cash as of such date shall be the amount of such cash.

(c)Exercise Date.  Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3(a) or 3(b) above (the "Exercise Date").  At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.

(d)Issuance of Common Stock Certificates.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within 10 days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as the Registered Holder (upon payment by the Registered Holder of any applicable transfer or withholding taxes) may direct:

(i)a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which the Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Registered Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 5 hereof; and

(ii)in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant was so exercised (which, in the case of an exercise pursuant to Section 3(b), shall include both the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Registered Holder pursuant to such partial exercise and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of the Warrant being cancelled in payment of the Purchase Price).

(e)Cash Payment Following Pre-Phase III Milestone Reorganization.  If, prior to the Phase III Milestone Date, (x) there is consummated any Reorganization, (y) the Approval Date later occurs and (z) either this Warrant is thereafter exercised or the Registered Holder requires the Company to repurchase the Warrant for $12,500,000 pursuant to Section 1(e), then the Company shall pay to the Registered Holder, within three Business Days following such exercise or repurchase of this Warrant, its Proportionate Part of an amount in cash equal to the interest (and, for the avoidance of doubt, only the interest) that would accrue during the period beginning on the date of consummation of such Reorganization and ending on the Approval Date (or, if applicable, the date of consummation of such repurchase of this Warrant), based on:

(i)the annual interest rate publicly announced by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, from time to time as its "prime" commercial loan rate, changing as such rate changes (and compounding annually); and

(ii)a principal amount equal to:
(1)in the case of an exercise of the Warrant, the product of (x) the aggregate number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercisable (as of the Approval Date, prior to giving effect to any exercise of this Warrant) and (y) the difference between (1) the Fair Market Value, as of the date of consummation of such Reorganization, of the securities, cash or other property issuable (pursuant to Section 4(e)) upon exercise of a single share of this Warrant, minus (2) the higher of (I) the Reorganization Reference Price and (II) $22.50 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof); and

(2)in the case of a repurchase of the Warrant for $12,500,000 pursuant to Section 1(e), $12,500,000.

4.Adjustments.

(a)Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations.  If the Company shall at any time, or from time to time after the date on which the number of Warrant Shares is fixed effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date on which the number of Warrant Shares is fixed combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(b)Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date on which the number of Warrant Shares is fixed, make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Purchase Price then in effect by a fraction:

(i)the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

(ii)the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;

provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Purchase Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

(c)Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b) above, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

(d)Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date on which the number of Warrant Shares is fixed, make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than shares of Common Stock) or in cash or other property (other than regular cash dividends paid out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised on the date of such event and had the Registered Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such securities receivable during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the Registered Holder.

If there shall occur any Reorganization, then, following such Reorganization, the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such Reorganization if such exercise had taken place immediately prior to such Reorganization.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Purchase Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant

Alpharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that IDEA AG, a German aktiengesellschaft, or its registered assigns (the "Registered Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time on or after the Determination Date (as defined below) and on or before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Termination Date (as defined below), a number of shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.20 par value per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"), determined in accordance with Section 1, at a purchase price per share determined in accordance with Section 1.  The shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the purchase price per share, each as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the "Warrant Shares" and the "Purchase Price," respectively.

1.Warrant Shares; Purchase Price.

(a)Subject to Section 1(d), the number of Warrant Shares shall be (i) $50,000,000 divided by (ii) 125% of the 30-Day Average Common Stock Trading Price (as defined below) as of the Determination Date (as defined below); provided, however, that the number of Warrant Shares shall not, in any event, exceed 2,666,667 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof).

(b)Subject to Section 1(d), the Purchase Price shall be 125% of the 30-Day Average Common Stock Trading Price as of the Determination Date; provided, however, that the Purchase Price shall not, in any event, be less than $18.75 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof).

(c)Within 20 Business Days (as defined below) after the Determination Date, the Company shall (unless Section 1(d) applies) deliver notice to the Registered Holder of the number of Warrant Shares and the Purchase Price as determined in accordance with Sections 1(a) and (b).  In the event that the Purchase Price would, but for the proviso in Section 1(b), be less than $18.75 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof), the Registered Holder may, within 20 Business Days after receiving the notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, and provided that this Warrant has not been exercised with respect to any Warrant Shares, deliver notice to the Company that it wishes to cause the Company to repurchase this Warrant in exchange for a cash payment to the Registered Holder of its Proportionate Part (as defined below) of $12,500,000, together with the original copy of this Warrant, a duly executed written instrument acknowledging that this Warrant is being so surrendered and that it is thereafter void, and instructions as to the account to which such payment should be sent by wire transfer.  Upon delivery of any such notice, this Warrant shall immediately terminate and be void, and the Company shall, within five Business Days thereafter, pay to the Registered Holder its Proportionate Part of $12,500,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Registered Holder in the notice referred to above.

(d)If, prior to the Determination Date, there is consummated any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock will be converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Section 4(a), 4(b) or 4(d) below) (collectively, a "Reorganization"), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 1(a) and 1(b):
(i)the Purchase Price shall equal the greater of (x) the 30-Day Average Common Stock Trading Price as of the earlier of (1) the date on which such Reorganization is first publicly announced or (2) the date on which such Reorganization was consummated (the result of this clause (x), the "Reorganization Reference Price"), or (y) $18.75 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof); and

(ii)the number of Warrant Shares shall equal the lesser of (1) $50,000,000 divided by 125% of the Reorganization Reference Price determined in accordance with clause (i) above and (2) 2,666,667.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant will nevertheless be exercisable only during the Exercise Period (as defined below), and the cash, securities or other property receivable by the Registered Holder upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment as a result of such Reorganization as provided in Section 4(e).

(e)In the event that the Purchase Price would, but for the minimum price in clause (y) of Section 1(d)(i), have been less than $18.75 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof), the Registered Holder may, within 20 Business Days (as defined below) after the Determination Date, and provided that this Warrant has not been exercised with respect to any Warrant Shares, deliver notice to the Company that it wishes to cause the Company to repurchase this Warrant in exchange for a cash payment to the Registered Holder of its Proportionate Part (as defined below) of $12,500,000, together with the original copy of this Warrant, a duly executed written instrument acknowledging that this Warrant is being so surrendered and that it is thereafter void, and instructions as to the account to which such payment should be sent by wire transfer.  Upon delivery of any such notice, this Warrant shall immediately terminate and be void, and the Company shall, within five Business Days thereafter, pay to the Registered Holder its Proportionate Part of $12,500,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Registered Holder in the notice referred to above.

2.As used in this Warrant, the following terms have the following meanings:

(a)"30-Day Average Common Stock Trading Price" means, as of any date, the average of the closing sale prices for the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if the Common Stock does not trade on the New York Stock Exchange during such period, on the primary national securities exchange or another nationally recognized trading system on which the Common Stock trades during such period) over the trading days included in the 30 calendar days immediately preceding such date (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring during such period); provided, however, that if the Common Stock does not trade on a national securities exchange or another nationally recognized trading system during such period, the 30-Day Average Common Stock Trading Price as of such date shall be the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Stock as of such date, determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of Fair Market Value set forth below.

(b)"Approval Date" means the date on which the $45,000,000 or $65,000,000 milestone payment is due as a result of achievement of the fourth milestone set forth in Section 3.2 of the License Agreement (as defined below).

(h)"Termination Date" means the earliest to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Determination Date, (ii) the tenth anniversary of the date hereof, (iii) if the License Agreement terminates prior to Approval Date, the date of such termination of the License Agreement and (iv) if the Warrant is repurchased by the Company for $12,500,000 pursuant to Section 1, the date of such repurchase.

3.Exercise.

(a)Exercise for Cash.  The Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part and at any time, or from time to time, during the Exercise Period, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit I duly executed by or on behalf of the Registered Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.

(b)Cashless Exercise.  
(i)The Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time, during the Exercise Period, on a cashless basis, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit I duly executed by or on behalf of the Registered Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, by canceling a portion of this Warrant in payment of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.  In the event of an exercise pursuant to this Section 3(b), the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Registered Holder shall be determined according to the following formula:  

X = Y * (A-B)

          A
Where:  X = the number of Warrant Shares that shall be issued to the Registered Holder; 

Y =the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised (which shall include both the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Registered Holder and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of the Warrant being cancelled in payment of the Purchase Price); 

A =the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date (as defined below); and

B =the Purchase Price then in effect.

(ii)The Fair Market Value of any security, cash or other property as of any date shall be determined as follows:

(1)In the case of a security that is listed on a national securities exchange or another nationally recognized trading system as of such date, the Fair Market Value per share of one share (or other unit) of such security shall be deemed to be the average of the high and low reported sale prices per share (or other unit) of such security thereon on the trading day immediately preceding such date (provided that if no such price is reported on such day, the Fair Market Value per share of such security shall be determined pursuant to clause (2)).

(2)In the case of any security that is not listed on a national securities exchange or another nationally recognized trading system as of such date, the Fair Market Value per share (or other unit) as of such date shall be an amount determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") to represent the fair market value per share (or other unit) of such security, and the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be delayed until such determination is made and notice thereof is provided to the Registered Holder (whereupon the Registered Holder will be given at least three Business Days to determine whether to proceed with an exercise of this warrant pursuant to this Section 3(b)).

(3)In the case of any property other than any securities or cash, the Fair Market Value of such property as of such date shall be an amount determined by the Board to represent the fair market value of such property.

(4)In the case of any cash, the Fair Market Value of such cash as of such date shall be the amount of such cash.

(c)Exercise Date.  Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3(a) or 3(b) above (the "Exercise Date").  At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.

(d)Issuance of Common Stock Certificates.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within 10 days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as the Registered Holder (upon payment by the Registered Holder of any applicable transfer or withholding taxes) may direct:

(i)a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which the Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Registered Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 5 hereof; and

(ii)in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant was so exercised (which, in the case of an exercise pursuant to Section 3(b), shall include both the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Registered Holder pursuant to such partial exercise and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of the Warrant being cancelled in payment of the Purchase Price).

(e)Cash Payment Following Pre-Determination Date Reorganization.  If, prior to the Determination Date, (x) there is consummated any Reorganization, (y) the Approval Date later occurs and (z) either this Warrant is thereafter exercised or the Registered Holder requires the Company to repurchase the Warrant for $12,500,000 pursuant to Section 1(e), then the Company shall pay to the Registered Holder, within three Business Days following such exercise or repurchase of this Warrant, its Proportionate Part of an amount in cash equal to the interest (and, for the avoidance of doubt, only the interest) that would accrue during the period beginning on the date of consummation of such Reorganization and ending on the Determination Date (or, if applicable, the date of consummation of such repurchase of this Warrant), based on:

(i)the annual interest rate publicly announced by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, from time to time as its "prime" commercial loan rate, changing as such rate changes (and compounding annually); and

(ii)a principal amount equal to:
(1)in the case of an exercise of the Warrant, the product of (x) the aggregate number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercisable (as of the Determination Date, prior to giving effect to any exercise of this Warrant) and (y) the difference between (1) the Fair Market Value, as of the date of consummation of such Reorganization, of the securities, cash or other property issuable (pursuant to Section 4(e)) upon exercise of a single share of this Warrant, minus (2) the higher of (I) the Reorganization Reference Price and (II) $18.75 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock occurring at any time after the date hereof); and

(2)in the case of a repurchase of the Warrant for $12,500,000 pursuant to Section 1(e), $12,500,000.

4.Adjustments.

(a)Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations.  If the Company shall at any time, or from time to time after the date on which the number of Warrant Shares is fixed effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date on which the number of Warrant Shares is fixed combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(b)Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date on which the number of Warrant Shares is fixed, make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Purchase Price then in effect by a fraction:

(i)the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

(ii)the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;

provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Purchase Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

(c)Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b) above, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

(d)Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date on which the number of Warrant Shares is fixed, make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than shares of Common Stock) or in cash or other property (other than regular cash dividends paid out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised on the date of such event and had the Registered Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such securities receivable during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the Registered Holder. 

(e)Adjustment for Reorganization.  If there shall occur any Reorganization, then, following such Reorganization, the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such Reorganization if such exercise had taken place immediately prior to such Reorganization.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Purchase Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(f)Certificate as to Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Company at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than 30 days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be exercisable and the Purchase Price) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of the Registered Holder (but in any event not later than 30 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Purchase Price then in effect and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.

5.Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall pay the value thereof to the Registered Holder in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date.

Alpharma Inc.

Registration Rights Agreement

This Registration Rights Agreement dated as of October 12, 2007 (this "Agreement"), is entered into between Alpharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), IDEA AG, a German aktiengesellschaft ("IDEA", and the initial "Stockholder"), and any Stockholders who become parties hereto pursuant to Section 2.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company has, on the date hereof, issued to IDEA two Warrants (the "Warrants") exercisable, on the terms set forth therein, for shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.20 per share (the "Common Stock");

WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), covering the resale by the Stockholders of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares").

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Registration Rights

1.1Registration.  The Company shall file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), within 10 days following the Approval Date (as defined in the Warrants), a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale by the Stockholders of the Warrant Shares (the "Registration Statement"); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file the Registration Statement if the Approval Date occurs on or after the date on which the sale of all of the Warrant Shares without volume limitation pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended) is permitted or would have been permitted if the holders of the Warrants had acquired their Warrant Shares by exercise of the Warrants pursuant to section 2(b) thereof.  If the Registration Statement is not an "automatic shelf registration statement" pursuant to General Instruction D to Form S-3, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable.  The Company shall cause the Registration Statement to remain effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the sale of all of the Warrant Shares without volume limitation pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended) is permitted or would have been permitted if the holders of the Warrants had acquired their Warrant Shares by exercise of the Warrants pursuant to section 2(b) thereof and (ii) the date on which all of the Warrant Shares have been sold (such earlier date, the "Termination Date").

1.2Limitations on Registration; Resales to the Public. 
(a)The Company may, by written notice to the Stockholders, (i) delay the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) require that the Stockholders immediately cease sales of Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement after its effectiveness, in the event that (A) the Company intends to file a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or its successor form) with the SEC for a public offering of its securities; (B) the Company is engaged in any activity or transaction or preparations or negotiations for any activity or transaction that the Company desires to keep confidential for business reasons, if the Company determines in good faith that the public disclosure requirements imposed on the Company under the Securities Act in connection with the Registration Statement would require disclosure of such activity, transaction, preparations or negotiations; (C) the Company becomes aware of the existence of a material misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement; or (D) the Company determines in good faith that the filing of, or continuation of sales under, the Registration Statement would adversely affect the Company.

(b)If the Company delays the filing of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 1.2(a), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable following the termination of the circumstance which entitled the Company to do so, file the Registration Statement.  If the Company requires the Stockholders to cease sales of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 1.2(a), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable following the termination of the circumstance which entitled the Company to do so, give written notice to the Stockholders authorizing it to resume sales of Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.  If as a result thereof the prospectus included in the Registration Statement has been amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall enclose such revised prospectus with the notice to the Stockholders given pursuant to this Section 1.2(b), and the Stockholders shall make no offers or sales of Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement other than by means of such revised prospectus.

(c)The Company shall have the right to delay the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement and require that the Stockholders cease sales of Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement in accordance with this Section 1.2 for not more than an aggregate of 60 days in any 365-day period.

1.3Registration Procedures.
(a)If the Company is required to file the Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to:

(i)prepare and file with the SEC any amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein, as amended or supplemented by an amendment or prospectus supplement, including post-effective amendments, and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such prospectus (the "Prospectus"), as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act (including the anti-fraud provisions thereof) and to keep the Registration Statement effective until the Termination Date;

(ii)furnish to each Stockholder such reasonable numbers of copies of the Prospectus, including any preliminary Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such Stockholder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Warrant Shares owned by such  Stockholder;

(iii)register or qualify the Warrant Shares covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such states (in the United States) as any Stockholder shall reasonably request, and do any and all other related acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable each Stockholder to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such states of the Warrant Shares owned by such Stockholder and covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection with this paragraph (iii) to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction;

(iv)cause all Warrant Shares to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange; and

(v)notify each Stockholder as soon as reasonably practicable of the filing of any supplement to any Prospectus.

(b)If the Company has delivered a preliminary or final Prospectus to the Stockholders, and after having done so such Prospectus is required to be amended or supplemented to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly notify the Stockholders of such fact and, if requested by the Company, the Stockholders shall immediately cease making offers or sales of shares under the Registration Statement, and return all Prospectuses to the Company.  Subject to Section 1.2, the Company shall promptly provide the Stockholders with revised or supplemented Prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised or supplemented Prospectuses, the Stockholders shall be free to resume making offers and sales under the Registration Statement.

(c)If Stockholders holding a majority of the unsold Warrant Shares notify the Company in writing that they wish to offer and sell all of their unsold Warrant Shares through an Underwritten Offering (as defined below), and such Warrant Shares to be sold through an Underwritten Offering have a Fair Market Value (as defined below) as of the date of such notice to the Company of at least $20,000,000, then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to amend or supplement the Registration Statement and Prospectus for such purpose.  Stockholders holding a majority of the unsold Warrant Shares shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters for such Underwritten Offering (subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), by written notice to the Company.  There shall be no more than one Underwritten Offering pursuant to the Registration Statement.  As used in this Agreement, an "Underwritten Offering" means a public distribution of Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, in which the Warrant Shares are sold by Stockholders to an underwriter or underwriters for reoffering to the public.

1.4Expenses.  The Company will pay all reasonable expenses incurred by it in complying with its obligations under this Agreement, including all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, fees and expenses of counsel for the Company, fees and expenses of accountants for the Company, expenses incident to any required filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and the reasonable fees and expenses of any one counsel retained by the Stockholders in connection with the Registration Statement (not to exceed $50,000), but excluding any brokerage fees, selling commissions or underwriting discounts incurred by the Stockholders in connection with sales under the Registration Statement.

1.5Requirements of Stockholders.  The Stockholders agree to:
(a)comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection with any sale of the Warrant Shares and to deliver no Prospectus in connection with such sales other than as provided under Section 1.3 above;

(b)report to the Company sales made pursuant to the Registration Statement; and

(c)furnish to the Company such information regarding the Stockholders and the distribution proposed by the Stockholders as the Company may reasonably request.

1.6Indemnification and Contribution.
(a)The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder, each underwriter of Warrant Shares covered by the Registration Statement, and each other person, if any, who controls any Stockholder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities to which any such Stockholder, underwriter or controlling person may become subject by reason of any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any omission to state therein a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities arise out of or are based upon information furnished to the Company, in writing, by or on behalf of any such Stockholder, underwriter or controlling person specifically for use in the Registration Statement.  

(b)Each Stockholder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its officers and directors and each underwriter and each person who controls the Company or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company, such directors and officers, underwriter or controlling person may become subject by reason of any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any omission to state therein a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities arise out of or are based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Stockholder specifically for use in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the obligations of a  Stockholder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Stockholder of Warrant Shares sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(c)Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 1.6 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 1.6 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is adversely affected by such failure. The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay such expense if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate (I) under applicable standards of professional conduct, (ii) due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or (iii) because there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; provided further that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be required to pay the expenses of more than one law firm per jurisdiction as counsel for the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party also shall be responsible for the expenses of such defense if the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume such defense.  No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, and no Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d)In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.6 is due in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect to any losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Stockholders on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company and the Stockholders shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact related to information supplied by the Company or the Stockholders and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Company and the Stockholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph of Section 1.6, (a) in no case shall any one Stockholder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Stockholder from the offering of Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement and (b) the Company shall be liable and responsible for any amount in excess of such proceeds; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 1.6, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought shall not relieve such party from any other obligation it or they may have thereunder or otherwise under this Section 1.6.  No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

2.Transfers of Rights.  This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the Stockholder hereunder, may be not be transferred or assigned, other than (x) by IDEA, to a single assignee to whom IDEA has sold or assigned its right to receive payments under the License Agreement (as defined in the Warrants) and which assignee has been assigned all of IDEA's interest in the Warrants and to whom any Warrant Shares that have been issued upon exercise of the Warrants and not subsequently sold by IDEA have been transferred) (such assignee, the "Payment Assignee"), (y) by IDEA or the Payment Assignee to up to an aggregate of 40 assignees (each of which assignees has either been assigned all or a portion of one or both Warrants, or have had Warrant Shares transferred to it by IDEA) and (z) by any assignee of a Warrant referred to in clause (y), to a subsequent assignee to whom such first assignee transfers such Warrant, provided that such subsequent assignee agrees in writing prior to such assignment (with a copy to the Company) to immediately exercise such Warrant upon such assignment and to immediately sell all of the underlying Warrant Shares (and provided that such assignee actually does so); provided, however, that each transferee or assignee referred to in this sentence has first delivered a written instrument to the Company agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a "Stockholder" and setting forth such transferee or assignee's address for purposes of Section 5(d) hereof.

3.Confidentiality of Notices.  Each Stockholder shall treat each notice from the Company regarding the Company's plans to file a registration statement under the Securities Act and each notice sent by the Company pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof confidentially and shall not disclose such information to any person other than as necessary to exercise its rights under this Agreement.

4.Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) the occurrence of the Termination Date (as defined in the Warrants) prior to any exercise of either Warrant.  Sections 1.6 and 3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

5.General.
(a)Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

(b)Specific Performance.  In addition to any and all other remedies that may be available at law in the event of any breach of this Agreement, the Company and the Stockholders shall be entitled to specific performance of the agreements and obligations of the Company and the Stockholders hereunder, as applicable, and to such other injunctive or other equitable relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c)Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without reference to any conflicts of law provisions thereof that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction).
