Such third party shall be approved by Amylin, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that ACTII is unable to secure a third party manufacturer, or ACTII continues to fail to supply all of Amylin’s (as well as any Affiliate, sublicensee or Co-Marketer of Amylin’s) needs for Products for more than three (3) months, Amylin may do any of the following: (i) elect to make nonexclusive the license grant to ACTII granted in accordance with Section 6.1, above, (ii) terminate the Manufacturing Agreement with ACTII for ACTII’s breach (should said breach be material), and (iii) either by itself and/or by utilizing the services of a third party, manufacture and supply Products or components thereof (without an obligation to pay to ACTII any transfer price payments on Products manufactured by Amylin or such third party). Any Products sold by Amylin, its Affiliates, sublicensees or Co-Marketers under this Section 6.2 shall be subject to the applicable royalty payment provided in Section 3.5, above.

6.3 Second Source. After the expiration of ACTII’s manufacturing exclusivity period of five (5) years, as described in Section 6.1, above, Amylin may do any of the following: (i) elect to make nonexclusive the license grant to ACTII granted in accordance with Section 6.1, above, (ii) either by itself and/or by utilizing the services of a third party, manufacture and supply Products or components thereof (without an obligation to pay to ACTII any transfer price payments on Products manufactured by Amylin or such third party). Any Products sold by Amylin, its Affiliates, sublicensees or Co-Marketers under this Section 6.3 shall be subject to the applicable royalty payment provided in Section 3.5, above.

6.4 ACTII Cooperation. In the event Amylin exercises its rights pursuant to Sections 6.2 or 6.3, above, to provide for manufacture of Product not by ACTII, ACTII shall transfer to Amylin or a third party, as appropriate, any ACTII Know-How required to enable Amylin or such third party to manufacture Product and provide such assistance as is reasonably necessary to assist such manufacture and supply. Amylin shall pay ACTII the FTE Hourly Rate for time spent by ACTII personnel in such technology transfer.

7. Representations and Warranties.

7.1 Representations and Warranties of ACTII. ACTII hereby represents and warrants that:

(a) ACTII Patents and ACTII Know-How. ACTII is the owner or exclusive licensee of ACTII Patents and ACTII Know-How. ACTII has the legal right and authority to license ACTII Patents and ACTII Know-How to Amylin as contemplated by this Agreement. To ACTII’s knowledge, none of the ACTII Patents is subject to any invalidity proceedings in front of, or has been found to be invalid by, a court of competent jurisdiction, and that none of the subject matter of the ACTII Patents is subject to any proceedings alleging infringement of third party rights in front of, or has been found to infringe third party rights by, a

court of competent jurisdiction. To ACTII’s knowledge, none of the ACTII Know-How is subject to any proceedings alleging misappropriation of any of said ACTII Know-How from a third party. ACTII agrees that, at a time not later than the time Amylin elects to make the payment and issue the Warrants provided in Section 3.1 above, it will agree to amend this Agreement to include its further representation and warranty that at least one Valid Claim, or at least one claim of a pending patent application within ACTII Patents, in each Major Market Country will cover a System formulation of AC2993 to be developed and commercialized under this Agreement.

(b) Corporate Power. ACTII is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of its incorporation and has the full right and corporate authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out the provisions hereof, without the consent or approval of any third party.

(c) No Conflicts. ACTII’s obligations and duties hereunder are not contrary to, or in conflict with, any of its obligations and duties to third parties.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by ACTII do not conflict with any agreement, instrument or understanding, oral or written, to which it is a party or to which it may be bound, nor do the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by ACTII violate any law or regulation of any court, governmental body or administrative or other agency having authority over it.

(e) Investment Representations. ACTII is aware of Amylin’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about Amylin to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire any Warrants pursuant to this Agreement. ACTII will acquire each Warrant, if issued, for investment for ACTII’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). ACTII understands that neither the Warrants issuable pursuant to this Agreement nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) have been or will be registered under the Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of ACTII’s investment intent as expressed herein. ACTII further acknowledges and understands that (i) the Warrants and the Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless the Warrants or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available, and (ii) that the certificates evidencing the Warrants and the Warrant Shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares unless the Warrants or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for Amylin. ACTII further warrants and represents it has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares by virtue of the business or financial expertise of its officers and directors or of professional

advisors to ACTII who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by Amylin or any of its affiliates, directly or indirectly.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Amylin do not conflict with any agreement, instrument or understanding, oral or written, to which it is a party or to which it may be bound, nor do the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Amylin violate any law or regulation of any court, governmental body or administrative or other agency having authority over it.

7.3 Disclaimer of Additional Warranties. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, AND TITLE.

8. Use of Materials and Information.

8.1 Use of Materials. ACTII agrees not to use any materials provided by Amylin, and Amylin agrees not to use any materials provided by ACTII, except as contemplated by this Agreement.

8.2 Protection of Confidential Information. Each Party, as a Receiving Party, agrees that it will exercise reasonable care, including not less than the same steps it takes to

protect its own proprietary and confidential information, to protect the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Each Receiving Party shall protect and keep confidential and shall not use, publish or otherwise disclose to any third party, except as contemplated by this Agreement or with the Disclosing Party’s written consent, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for a period of five (5) years following the termination of this Agreement. Joint Inventions shall constitute Confidential Information.

8.3 Exceptions.

(a) Use. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8 to the contrary and subject to the disclosure and publication limitations set forth in this Section 8, both Parties shall be entitled to research, develop and commercialize Inventions jointly owned by the Parties; provided, however, that, except pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, ACTII shall have no right to research, develop or commercialize Products before termination of this Agreement. Provided further, however, that nothing in this Section shall constitute or be construed as constituting or granting to a Party any license in or to any patents or other intellectual property of the other Party.

(b) Disclosure. Each Receiving Party shall also be entitled to disclose to consultants and other third parties if necessary for any purpose contemplated by or related directly to this Agreement the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; provided that the third party recipient of any Confidential Information shall first execute a confidentiality undertaking containing provisions at least as protective as those set forth in this Section 8, and provided further that ACTII may not disclose in conjunction with any disclosure of Inventions jointly owned by the Parties, either explicitly or implicitly, the identity of Amylin or the identity or structure of AC2993 or the identity of the indication without the prior consent of Amylin. Amylin shall also be entitled to disclose ACTII’s Confidential Information to regulatory and other government authorities for the purpose of seeking Regulatory Approval and other necessary or appropriate regulatory or government review or approvals of the Product pursuant to this Agreement, and both Parties shall be entitled to disclose Inventions jointly developed by personnel of both Parties to regulatory and other government authorities for the purpose of seeking Regulatory Approval and other necessary or appropriate regulatory or government review or approvals of products pursuant to their rights set forth in this Section 8.

Each Party shall consult with the other Party prior to any oral presentation or the submission of any manuscript for publication or presentation if the presentation or manuscript relates to injectable, sustained release formulations of [***]. Such consultation shall include providing a copy of a summary of the oral presentation and draft of any related abstract or the proposed manuscript to the reviewing Party at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of presentation or submission to a publisher, incorporating appropriate changes as are reasonably proposed by the reviewing Party into the presentation or manuscript, and deleting Confidential Information that the reviewing Party does not agree should be published or presented. If the reviewing Party does not respond within thirty (30) days of such

initial consultation or notice of intention to publish, then the requesting Party shall be free to publish as proposed. This Section 8.4 does not control the filing of any patent application or other patent-related filing; instead, Section 10.2 shall control the parties’ obligations with regard to prior notification, consultation, disclosure and publication when filing any patent application or other patent-related filing which incorporates any Confidential Information.

8.4 Required Disclosures. In the event that a Receiving Party is required by applicable statute or regulation or by judicial or administrative process to disclose any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of each such requirement and identify the documents so required thereby, so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy and/or waive compliance by the Receiving Party with the provisions of this Agreement; and (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow the scope of such requirement. If, in the absence of such a protective order or such a waiver by the Disclosing Party of the provisions of this Agreement, the Receiving Party is nonetheless required by mandatory applicable law to disclose any part of such Confidential Information, the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information without liability under this Agreement, except that the Receiving Party shall (i) furnish only that portion of such Confidential Information which is legally required and (ii) use its best efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to the portion of such Confidential Information so required to be disclosed.

The return and/or destruction of such Confidential Information as provided above shall not relieve the Receiving Party of its other obligations under this Agreement.

This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date hereof and, unless terminated in accordance with this Section 9, will continue until and expire upon the later of (i) ten (10) years from the first commercial sale of Product or (ii) the expiration or invalidation of the last Valid Claim of all patents within the ACTII Patents. Upon expiration of this Agreement under this Section 9.1, all licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement shall become non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up licenses.

9.2 Unilateral Termination by Amylin.

(a) Termination Prior to Satisfactory Completion of Feasibility Study. Amylin may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to giving notice that the results of the studies completed by ACTII under the Feasibility Agreements are satisfactory to Amylin, in Amylin’s sole discretion. Upon termination by Amylin under this Section 9.2(a), Amylin shall have no further obligation under this Agreement.

(b) General Termination. Amylin may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the filing of an NDA for Product by giving ninety (90) days prior written notice to ACTII. After the filing of an NDA for Product, Amylin may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to ACTII.

If such default is not cured within sixty (60) days after the receipt of such notice, the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled, without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, by law or in equity, immediately to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Defaulting Party. Any dispute between the Parties to be resolved under this agreement as to whether a product is covered by a Valid Claim of any ACTII Patent shall not be grounds for termination. If ACTII terminates this Agreement under this Section 9.3 due to Amylin’s breach, all license rights granted by ACTII under this Agreement shall automatically terminate and revert in their entirety back to ACTII. If Amylin terminates this Agreement under this Section 9.3 due to ACTII’s breach, then Amylin’s licenses granted pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall survive and Amylin shall owe ACTII [***] of the royalty on Net Sales of Products that would have otherwise been owed under this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.5, above.

9.4 Insolvency or Bankruptcy. ACTII may, in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, terminate this Agreement, by written notice to Amylin in the event Amylin shall have become insolvent or bankrupt, or shall have made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or there shall have been appointed a trustee or receiver of Amylin for all or a substantial part of its property, or any case or proceeding shall have been commenced or other action taken by or against Amylin in bankruptcy or seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, arrangement, composition or readjustment of its debts or any other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar act or law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect, or there shall have been issued a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against any substantial part of the property of Amylin, and any such event shall have continued for sixty (60) days undismissed, unbonded and undischarged.

9.5 No Termination upon ACTII’s Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by ACTII to Amylin are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that Amylin, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights

and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against ACTII under the Bankruptcy Code that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after it is filed, Amylin shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, including without limitation all intellectual property necessary or useful to give Amylin the capability of manufacturing Products, and the same, if not already in its possession, shall be promptly delivered to Amylin (i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon written request therefor by Amylin, unless ACTII elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of ACTII, upon written request therefor by Amylin.

9.6 Accrued Rights; Survival. Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights which shall have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to such termination.

9.7 Selling Rights Upon Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Amylin shall have the right to sell its inventory of Products for a period of six (6) months from the date of termination provided that Amylin complies with the provisions of Sections 3.4 through 3.6 and Section 6.1 hereof.

10. Rights to Intellectual Property.

10.1 Ownership of Inventions. Any and all Inventions, whether made solely by personnel of a Party or jointly by personnel of the Parties, shall be the property of the Parties as follows:

(a) Amylin Ownership. [***]

Each Party shall cooperate with the other in completing any patent applications relating to both solely and jointly developed Inventions that will be owned by the other Party. Each Party shall also cooperate with the other in executing and delivering any instrument required to assign, convey or transfer to such other Party its interest should such assignment, conveyance or transfer be required by the terms of this Agreement.

Furthermore, upon the discovery, generation or development of a particular Invention, the Party so discovering, generating or developing shall promptly disclose to the other Party the particular Invention at issue and in no event shall a Party file a patent on such particular

Invention until ownership as described in this Section 10.1 is determined by the Parties after such Parties have had a reasonable opportunity to review and discuss the particular Invention at issue.

10.2 Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents.

(a) ACTII’s Obligations to Prosecute. ACTII shall file and control prosecution and maintenance of patent applications for all ACTII Patents, including ACTII Patents claiming Inventions owned by ACTII, and, subject to the consultation rights granted to Amylin in Section 10.2(b) below, patents claiming Inventions owned jointly by ACTII and Amylin (“Joint Inventions”) and be responsible for related interference proceedings in accordance with reasonable commercial standards and reasonable principles of intellectual property protection, all at ACTII’s expense. ACTII shall endeavor to ensure that all ACTII Patents, and patents claiming Joint Inventions are filed before any public disclosure of the inventions claimed therein to maximize the scope of protection of such patents filed outside the United States. ACTII shall furnish Amylin with copies of all substantive communications between ACTII and applicable patent offices regarding patents and patent applications claiming Inventions.

(c) Amylin’s Standby Filing Rights. If ACTII elects not to seek or maintain patent protection for any Invention at all or in any particular country, ACTII shall provide Amylin prompt notice of such election, and Amylin may file and control the prosecution and maintenance of patent applications, at its expense, with respect to Inventions everywhere or in particular countries, as the case may be. In the event Amylin elects to file or maintain such a patent application, ACTII will grant any necessary authority to Amylin to do so everywhere or in such particular country, as appropriate, and will cooperate as is reasonable, at Amylin’s expense, with Amylin’s prosecution and maintenance efforts. ACTII shall delay any public disclosure of the subject matter of such patent application until after filing by Amylin of such patent application.

10.3 Infringement by Third Parties.

(a) Notice. Any Party learning of any activities of a third party which are believed to infringe or misappropriate the ACTII Patents or patents that claim Joint

Inventions in the Field or any claim of a third party that any of the ACTII Patents are invalid or unenforceable shall promptly notify the other Party of such activities or such claim.

(b) Prosecution of Actions Involving Product.

(i) Amylin shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute and control any action or proceeding with respect to any infringement/misappropriation of any of the ACTII Patents or patents claiming Joint Inventions arising from the use thereof and involving Product, by counsel of its own choice. ACTII shall cooperate with Amylin at Amylin’s request in the prosecution of such action or proceeding. If Amylin reasonably determines that ACTII is an indispensable party to the action, ACTII hereby consents to be joined. In such event, ACTII shall have the right to be represented in that action by counsel of its own choice and at ACTII’s expense.

(ii) If Amylin fails to bring an action or proceeding within a period of ninety (90) days after receiving written notice from ACTII or otherwise having knowledge of that infringement/misappropriation of ACTII Patents or patents claiming Joint Inventions involving Products, as described in Section 10.3(b)(i), ACTII shall have the right to bring and control any such action by counsel of its own choice and expense. IF ACTII reasonably determines that Amylin is an indispensable party to the action, Amylin hereby consents to be joined. In such event, Amylin shall have the right to be represented in that action by counsel of its own choice and at Amylin’s expense.

(iii) No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section 10.3(b) may be entered into without the joint consent of Amylin and ACTII (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(iv) If Amylin brings action, any damages or other monetary awards recovered by Amylin attributable to sales of Products, shall be applied pro-rata to defray the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the action by both Parties. Any remaining recovery shall be used to reimburse Amylin for lost profits, to the extent the recovery or settlement is calculated on the basis of lost profits, and ACTII for lost royalties or transfer price payments on account of lost sales. Any remaining recovery shall be allocated to Amylin.

(v) If Amylin fails to bring action and ACTII brings action, any damages or other monetary awards recovered by ACTII attributable to sales of Product derived therefrom, shall be applied pro-rata to defray the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the action by both Parties. If any balance remains it shall be allocated to ACTII.

(c) Infringement of ACTII Patents or Patents Claiming Joint Inventions Outside Field. In the event that any ACTII Patents or patents claiming Join Inventions that have application outside the Field are infringed outside the Field by a third person, the Party first having knowledge of such infringement shall notify the other as set forth above and the Parties shall consult with each other as to how they should proceed, but each Party shall be free to pursue or protect its own respective interests to the extent it is legally entitled to do so. ACTII hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently enforce such ACTII Patents or patents claiming Joint Inventions that have application outside the Field.

10.4 Infringement of Third Parties.

(a) Notice. If either Party believes that patent rights held by a third party may be necessary or useful to make, have made, use, sell, supply or import Products or learns of a third party who has filed suit or has threatened to file suit because of a claim that a Product may be infringing such third party’s rights, they shall promptly notify the other Party in writing. The Parties shall then meet to discuss in good faith whether or not both Parties agree that such third party rights may be necessary or useful to make, have made, use, sell, supply or import a Product and whether such possible infringement, or the claims in such infringement suit or threatened suit are based on an allegation that any of the Field Products (but not the Product incorporating such Field Product), infringes such third party patents. In the event the Parties are unable to so agree, the matter will be decided in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of Section 12.17.

(b) Defense, Settlement or Securing Third Party Rights.

(i) By ACTII. If it is determined, either by mutual agreement or as a result of the dispute resolution procedures that such third party’s rights are necessary and not based on allegations related to infringement of third party rights by any of the Field Products (excluding the Product incorporating such Field Product), then ACTII shall be responsible to defend any suit alleging infringement of a third party, seek to settle any suit or threatened suit, or secure the rights of such third party for use in the Field. ACTII shall not settle or secure such third party rights without Amylin’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Parties shall share equally any payments or royalties owed to the third party for settling such suit or for securing such third party rights.

(ii) By Amylin. If it is determined, either by mutual agreement or as a result of the dispute resolution procedures that such third party’s rights are necessary and are based on allegations related to related to infringement of third party rights by any of the Field Products (excluding the Product incorporating such Field Product), then Amylin shall be responsible to defend any suit alleging infringement of a third party, seek to settle any suit or threatened suit, or secure the rights of such third party for use in the Field. Amylin shall be solely responsible for any payments or royalties owed to the third party for settling such suit or for securing such third party rights.

(iii) Amylin Standby Right to Secure Third Party Rights. In the event that ACTII is unable to secure the rights of a third party under Section 10.4(b)(i), unless ACTII is diligently defending such infringement action, Amylin may secure such rights from the third party, after obtaining ACTII’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AMYLIN PHARMACEUTICALS AND ALKERMES SIGN AGREEMENT FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF LONG-ACTING FORMULATION OF AC2993
(SYNTHETIC EXENDIN-4)

San Diego, CA - May 15, 2000 - Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMLN) and Alkermes, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALKS) today announced that they have signed an agreement for the development, manufacture and commercialization of an injectable long-acting formulation of AC2993 (synthetic exendin-4), Amylin’s second diabetes drug candidate. The development program will utilize Alkermes’ patented and proprietary Medisorb(R) injectable sustained release drug delivery technology. Based upon results obtained to date from initial feasibility studies, the goal of the new Alkermes-Amylin agreement is a formulation that would allow once a month administration of AC2993 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

“With this technology, we hope to develop and commercialize a more convenient delivery system for AC2993,” said Joseph C. Cook, Jr., Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Amylin Pharmaceuticals. “We are encouraged by results of Phase 2 clinical studies of AC2993 in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and we plan to continue with development of AC2993 in its current formulation in parallel with our work with Alkermes on a long-acting formulation of AC2993.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Alkermes has granted to Amylin an exclusive, worldwide license to their formulation technology for the development and commercialization of injectable sustained release formulations of exendins, such as AC2993, and other related compounds that Amylin may develop. In exchange, Alkermes will receive funding for research and development

and milestone payments comprised of cash and warrants for Amylin common stock upon achieving certain development and commercialization goals. Alkermes will also receive a combination of royalty payments and manufacturing fees based on any future product sales. Alkermes will initially be responsible for developing and testing several formulations, manufacturing any products commercialized as a result of the agreement, and Amylin will be responsible for conducting clinical trials, securing regulatory approvals and marketing on a worldwide basis.

“This collaboration is an example of our interest in applying our drug delivery technologies to exciting new product candidates earlier in the development process,” said Richard Pops, Chief Executive Officer of Alkermes. “Our goal is to continue to leverage our experience in developing advanced formulations of protein and peptide drugs.”

Alkermes is a leader in the development of products based on sophisticated drug delivery technologies. The Company has several areas of focus: (i) controlled, sustained release of injectable drugs lasting several days to several weeks, utilizing its ProLease(R) and Medisorb (R) technologies; (ii) the development of pharmaceutical products based on proprietary pulmonary drug delivery technologies utilizing its AIR technology, (iii) oral delivery of drugs using the RingCap(TM) and DST technologies, and (iv) the delivery of drugs into the brain past the blood-brain barrier, utilizing its Cereport(R) technology. In addition to its Cambridge, Massachusetts headquarters, research and manufacturing facilities, Alkermes operates research and manufacturing facilities in Ohio and a medical affairs office in Cambridge, England.

Amylin Pharmaceuticals is engaged in the discovery and development of potential drug candidates for the treatment of metabolic disorders. The Company is developing SYMLIN for the treatment of people with diabetes who use insulin. The Company has completed its Phase 3 clinical trials for SYMLIN and is planning for a submission to the FDA for approval to market SYMLIN in the US for the treatment of type 1 diabetes and insulin-using type 2 diabetes in the fourth quarter of 2000, with a submission for regulatory approval in Europe to follow later in 2000 or early in 2001. Amylin Pharmaceuticals’ second diabetes drug candidate, AC2993, is in Phase 2 evaluation for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The Company’s third drug candidate, AC3056, is currently undergoing preclinical evaluation as a potential treatment for metabolic disorders relating to cardiovascular disease. The Company is considering a wide range of commercialization options for SYMLIN, including some combination of (1) a worldwide distribution arrangement with a major pharmaceutical company, (2) regional distribution and marketing arrangements, and (3) performance of some commercialization activities by Amylin Pharmaceuticals. The Company is also examining collaborative research, development and commercialization opportunities for AC2993. Further information on Amylin Pharmaceuticals and its pipeline in metabolism is available at www.amylin.com.

This press release contains forward-looking statements about Alkermes’ and Amylin’s plans. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this press release, due to risks and uncertainties including those regarding the formulation and development of AC2993, the timing of submission of applications for marketing approvals for SYMLIN and, if approvals are obtained, time to market thereafter and the ability of Amylin to commercialize SYMLIN, the ability of Amylin to enter

into sales, distribution, marketing and/or corporate partnering agreements with respect to SYMLIN and AC2993, and the results of Amylin’s preclinical and clinical studies of its product candidates, including AC2993 and AC3056. Additional risks and uncertainties are described in Amylin’s most recently filed SEC documents, such as its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 under the heading “Risk Factors,” and its subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in Alkermes’ SEC filings, such as its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 under the heading “Risk Factors.”

6.1 Manufacturing Agreement. In the event Amylin decides to proceed with the development and commercialization of Four-Week Exenatide LAR, then Amylin and ACTII shall proceed in accordance with Section 4.3(d)(i). If the Parties negotiate a Four-Week Exenatide LAR Product Development Plan, then ACTII shall have the option to be the exclusive manufacturer of Four-Week Exenatide LAR for a period of [***] ([***]) [***] after the first commercial sale in a Major Market Country of Four-Week Exenatide LAR, and, if ACTII exercises this option, ACTII shall exclusively manufacture and supply Four-Week Exenatide LAR, in the amounts and at such delivery times as required by Amylin, its Affiliates, sublicensees and Co-Marketers. ACTII shall decide whether to exercise this option prior to the commencement of Phase III Clinical Trials for Four-Week Exenatide LAR. Upon ACTII’s exercise of this option and prior to the commencement of Phase III Clinical Trials for Four-Week Exenatide LAR, or sooner if agreed by Amylin and ACTII, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a manufacturing and supply agreement (the “Manufacturing Agreement”) on the terms provided in this Section 6 and such other terms to be mutually agreed upon, including but not limited to, provisions dealing with ACTII’s responsibility to incur all capital expenditures necessary to develop manufacturing capability for Four-Week Exenatide LAR (subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.1), minimum purchase requirements for Four-Week Exenatide LAR, forecasting of Amylin’s requirements for Four-Week Exenatide LAR, delivery times and terms, rejection of Four-Week Exenatide LAR, recall of Four-Week Exenatide LAR, inspection of ACTII’s manufacturing facilities, indemnification, and Amylin’s and ACTII’s responsibilities with respect to compliance with global governmental regulations and force majeure. The agreement shall provide that Amylin will supply sufficient quantities of API for use in the manufacture of Four-Week Exenatide LAR for commercialization at no cost to ACTII. Under the agreement Amylin shall pay ACTII a transfer price equal to the greater of (a) [***]% of Net Sales of Four-Week Exenatide LAR and (b) [***] dollars ($[***]) for each dose of Four-Week Exenatide LAR. Such $[***] price shall be adjusted annually by ACTII in accordance with the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for all urban consumers, U.S. City Average — all items less food and energy (October 1999 equals 178.3 (Reference CUUR0000 SAOL1E)). The Parties shall also negotiate in good faith provisions for inclusion in the agreement regarding payment by Amylin to ACTII of some portion of the transfer price at the time of shipment of Four-Week Exenatide LAR and quarterly reconciliation of the balance of the transfer price owed on Net Sales of Four-Week Exenatide LAR. The agreement shall also include provisions regarding the manufacturing options provided to Amylin in Sections 6.2 and 6.3 below. In addition the agreement shall include provisions regarding the reimbursement of ACTII by Amylin of any costs and expenses ACTII has incurred to design, construct, commission or validate any manufacturing facility, or portion thereof, including the

purchase of equipment, to permit the manufacture of Four-Week Exenatide LAR in the event that Amylin does not develop Four-Week Exenatide LAR and commercialize it for a period of five (5) years after its first commercial sale in a Major Market Country.

6.2 Failure to Supply. Should ACTII ever fail to supply any or all of Amylin’s (as well as any Affiliate, sublicensee or Co-Marketer of Amylin’s) needs for Four-Week Exenatide LAR to the extent Amylin has forecasted such needs, ACTII shall have the first right to secure a third party to manufacture that amount of Four-Week Exenatide LAR which ACTII has failed or anticipates failing to supply. Such third party shall be approved by Amylin, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that ACTII is unable to secure a third party manufacturer, or ACTII continues to fail to supply all of Amylin’s (as well as any Affiliate, sublicensee or Co-Marketer of Amylin’s) needs for Four-Week Exenatide LAR for more than [***] ([***]) [***], Amylin may do any of the following: (i) elect to make nonexclusive the license grant to ACTII with respect to Four-Week Exenatide LAR granted in accordance with Section 6.1, above, (ii) terminate the Manufacturing Agreement with ACTII for ACTII’s breach (should said breach be material), and (iii) either by itself and/or by utilizing the services of a third party, manufacture and supply Four-Week Exenatide LAR or components thereof (without an obligation to pay to ACTII any transfer price payments on such Four-Week Exenatide LAR manufactured by Amylin or such third party). Any Four-Week Exenatide LAR sold by Amylin, its Affiliates, sublicensees or Co-Marketers under this Section 6.2 shall be subject to the applicable royalty payment provided in Section 3.4, above.

6.3 Second Source. After the expiration of ACTII’s manufacturing exclusivity period of [***] ([***]) [***], as described in Section 6.1, above, Amylin may do any of the following: (i) elect to make nonexclusive the license grant to ACTII with respect to Four-Week Exenatide LAR granted in accordance with Section 6.1, above, or (ii) either by itself and/or by utilizing the services of a third party, manufacture and supply Four-Week Exenatide LAR or components thereof (without an obligation to pay to ACTII any transfer price payments on such Four-Week Exenatide LAR manufactured by Amylin or such third party). Any Four-Week Exenatide LAR sold by Amylin, its Affiliates, sublicensees or Co-Marketers under this Section 6.3 shall be subject to the applicable royalty payment provided in Section 3.4, above.

6.4 ACTII Cooperation. In the event Amylin exercises its rights pursuant to Sections 6.2 or 6.3, above, to provide for manufacture of Four-Week Exenatide LAR other than by ACTII, ACTII shall transfer to Amylin or a third party, as appropriate, any ACTII Know-How required to enable Amylin or such third party to manufacture Four-Week Exenatide LAR and provide such assistance as is reasonably necessary to assist such manufacture and supply. Amylin shall pay ACTII the FTE Hourly Rate for time spent by ACTII personnel in such technology transfer.”

6. USE OF MATERIALS AND INFORMATION

6.1 The following new section is hereby inserted at the end of Section 8 of the Agreement:

“8.6 Disclosure to Collaboration Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Amylin may disclose the terms of this Agreement and Confidential Information of ACTII to Lilly as necessary or appropriate for the research, development or commercialization of Products; provided that Lilly is subject to obligations of confidentiality comparable to those contained herein.”

7. PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PATENTS

7.1 Subsections (a) and (b) of Section 10.2 of the Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

“(a) ACTII’s Obligations to Prosecute. ACTII shall file and control prosecution and maintenance of patent applications for all ACTII Patents, including ACTII Patents claiming Inventions owned by ACTII, and, subject to consultation rights granted to Amylin in Section 10.2(b) below, patents claiming Inventions owned jointly by ACTII and Amylin (“Joint Inventions”) and be responsible for related interference proceedings in accordance with reasonable commercial standards and reasonable principles of intellectual property protection, all at ACTII’s expense. For prosecution and maintenance of patents and patent applications claiming Joint Inventions, ACTII shall use external counsel of its choosing, subject to the consent of the General Counsel of Amylin, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. ACTII shall endeavor to ensure that all ACTII Patents, and patents claiming Joint Inventions are filed before any public disclosure of the inventions claimed therein to maximize the scope of protection of such patents filed outside the United States. ACTII shall furnish Amylin with copies of all substantive communications between ACTII and applicable patent offices regarding patents and patent applications claiming Inventions.

(b) Consultation; No Disclosure by Amylin. ACTII and Amylin shall discuss and evaluate Joint Inventions and confer with each other regarding the advisability of filing patent applications in the United States and in foreign countries to cover Joint Inventions. ACTII shall provide to Amylin (i) draft patent applications, and (ii) draft official correspondence to national or international patent authorities which purports to amend the scope of the claims presented in the originally filed application, each to be provided sufficiently in advance of filing for Amylin to have the opportunity to comment thereon, and at least 30 days prior to the contemplated filing date whenever possible. Any reasonable requests made by Amylin pertaining to such drafts shall be reflected in such drafts, provided that Amylin provides such input to ACTII sufficiently in advance of such proposed submission date to permit inclusion therein. Amylin shall endeavor to delay any public disclosure of the subject matter of any patent application filed or to be filed by ACTII under this Agreement until after filing by ACTII of such patent application. Should the respective patent counsel of ACTII and Amylin be unable to agree, within thirty (30) days (or earlier if such time period might affect patentability) of a set of claims being presented by one Party to the other, as to the inventorship of any patent application claiming an Invention in which each Party claims its employee or agent is an inventor, the Parties shall refer such dispute to a neutral patent attorney or other appropriately qualified person mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Such neutral third party shall be instructed to complete his/her determination as to inventorship within thirty (30) days of referral of the dispute (or earlier if such time period might affect patentability). Such neutral third party’s determination

regarding the referred issue shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The Party whose position did not agree with the neutral third party’s determination will pay the fees associated with such neutral third party decision, unless neither Party’s position prevails in which case the Parties will share on a 50/50 basis the fees associated with such neutral third party’s decision.”

Alkermes Controlled Therapeutics Inc. II
88 Sidney Street
Cambridge, MA 02139
Attn: Mike Landine

Dear Mr. Landine:

Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Amylin”) and Alkermes Controlled Therapeutics Inc. II (“ACT II”) are parties to a Development and License Agreement effective as of May 15, 2000, as amended (the “Development and License Agreement”), pursuant to which the Parties are developing a synthetic exendin-4 long-acting injectable product (“Exenatide LAR”) (capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Development and License Agreement). The Parties now wish to amend the Development and License Agreement to incorporate the following additional terms and conditions set forth in this letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”):

1. In connection with the development of Exenatide LAR, Amylin and ACT II have agreed to conduct a single species nonclinical carcinogenicity study, as described in the March 16, 2006 meeting of the Core Oversight Group, which study will have three arms - a diluent control arm, a placebo microsphere control arm and an Exenatide LAR arm (the “Carcinogenicity Study”). In addition to its existing obligations under the Development and License Agreement, ACT II has agreed to supply Amylin solely for use in the Carcinogenicity Study and such other studies as mutually agreed upon by both Parties, both placebo microspheres (in the amount of either 240g or 1000g depending upon the final protocol(s) for each of the Carcinogenicity Study and such other mutually agreed studies) and diluent (in the amount of either 18.1L or 23.5L depending upon such final protocol(s)). Amylin will compensate ACT II for the technical and scientific time devoted to the production of these materials at the FTE Hourly Rate and reimburse ACT II for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the supply of these materials. Payments to ACT II for the supply of these materials shall be made within thirty days after receipt of invoices therefor, and the provisions of Section 4.7(d) of the Development and License Agreement regarding retention of records and audits by Amylin shall apply with regard to payments under this Letter Agreement.

As additional consideration for ACT II’s supply of these materials, Amylin agrees that ACT II will receive a separate report of any information, data and/or results generated with respect to both the diluent control arm and the placebo microsphere control arm of the Carcinogenicity Study as well as such other information, data and/or results as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in connection with any other studies mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Data”). Amylin and ACT II agree that, subject to Section 8.3(c) of the Development and License Agreement, ACT II has the right to use the Data for any and all purposes, except the research, development and commercialization of a Product prior to the termination of the Development and License Agreement. As used in the prior sentence, the term “Product” means any Field Product the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or import of which by a party, other than one who has a right or license to the ACT II Patents, would infringe a Valid Claim of any of the ACT II Patents. In addition Amylin agrees that ACT II will have the right to review the final protocol for the Carcinogenicity Study, and Amylin agrees to consider in

good faith any comments suggested by ACT II with respect to such final protocol. Amylin also agrees to furnish to ACT II copies of any proposed communications to the FDA regarding the Carcinogenicity Study and to consider in good faith any comments suggested by ACT II with respect thereto. Amylin will promptly inform ACT II of any written or oral communications received from the FDA with respect to the Carcinogenicity Study and provide to ACT II a copy of any such written communications or notes of any such oral communications.

2. Except as specifically amended herein, all provisions of the Development and License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Development and License Agreement and those of this Letter Agreement, this Letter Agreement shall control. This Letter Agreement and the Development and License Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, regarding the subject matter hereof. No amendment or modification of the terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement shall be binding on either Party unless reduced to a writing referencing this Letter Agreement and signed by an authorized officer of the Party to be bound.

3. This Letter Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Letter Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile and upon such delivery the facsimile signature will be deemed to have the same effect as if the original signature had been delivered to the other Party.

4. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.

If this Letter Agreement correctly sets forth our understanding, please sign in the space provided below and return a copy of this Letter Agreement to me.

Sincerely yours,


Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
