2.4 Sublicenses.

(a) Enzon. Enzon may sublicense the rights granted under Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) without the prior written consent of Santaris; provided, that (a) in the case of each such sublicense, (i) Enzon shall be liable to Santaris as if Enzon is exercising such sublicensed rights itself under this Agreement, including all payment, diligence, access to Development Data and other information, rights in Know-How and other intellectual property rights and reporting obligations; and (ii) Enzon shall provide all reasonable assurances that its sublicensees comply with confidentiality, indemnity, reporting, audit rights, access to data (including Development Data and regulatory filings), and information obligations comparable to those set forth in this Agreement; and (b) in the case of a sublicense to sell the Product in the United States or Japan, such Marketing Sublicensees shall possess such capabilities, personnel and other resources and experience as may be required to allow Enzon to satisfy its obligations hereunder to use Diligent Efforts to Commercialize such Product in such country.

(b) Santaris. Santaris may sublicense the rights granted under Section 2.2(a), 2.2(b) and 2.2(d) without the prior written consent of Enzon; provided, that, in the case of each such sublicense, (i) Santaris shall be liable to Enzon as if Santaris is exercising such sublicensed rights itself under this Agreement, including access to Development Data and other information, rights in Know-How and other intellectual property rights and reporting obligations; and (ii) Santaris shall provide all reasonable assurances that its sublicensees comply with confidentiality, indemnity, reporting, access to data (including Development Data and regulatory filings), and information obligations comparable to those set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Notice. Each Party shall provide written notice and copy of each license or sublicense relating to this Agreement, a Selected LNA Compound and/or a Product promptly after execution of any such license or sublicense agreement; provided, that the terms that do not relate to the licensed or sublicensed rights relating to this Agreement, Selected LNA Compound and/or Product (including such terms referred to in paragraph (a) and (b) above) and the financial terms therein may be redacted. All sublicenses granted in violation of this Section 2.4 are void.

2.5 Exclusivity. During the conduct of the Discovery Program and the Royalty Term in each country, neither Enzon and its Affiliates nor Santaris and its Affiliates shall, except pursuant to this Agreement, directly or indirectly, by itself or with any Third Party, develop, manufacture commercial quantities of, promote the sale of or sell in such country any Competing Product; provided, that after the [**Redacted**] anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of a Product and subject to the licenses granted hereunder, each Party and its Affiliates may conduct research and development activities with respect to the Enzon Target of such Product. For the avoidance of doubt, once all of Enzon’s rights under this Agreement to all Selected LNA Compounds modulating protein synthesis by an Enzon Target have been terminated for any reason, such Target shall deemed no longer to be an Enzon Target.

2.6 Acquisition of Competing Product. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.5, which provisions shall not be deemed breached as a result of an acquisition or merger described in this Section 2.6 (unless such acquisition or merger involves a Third Party whose sole pharmaceutical product is a Competing Product), if Enzon acquires a Competing Product through an acquisition of the whole or substantially the whole of the business or assets

Execution Version

of another Person or through a merger with another Person (each, an “Acquisition Transaction”), then Enzon shall, within ninety (90) days from the date of the closing of such Acquisition Transaction, notify Santaris of such Acquisition Transaction and as to whether Enzon (i) is required by a Governmental Authority to, or elects to, divest its right to develop or commercialize such Competing Product or (ii) elects to retain such Competing Product. If Enzon is required or elects to divest its interest in such Competing Product, then Enzon shall use reasonable efforts to identify a Third Party purchaser to whom Enzon will divest its interest in such Competing Product and to enter into a definitive agreement with such Third Party for such divestiture as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances; provided, however, that it is understood that nothing shall limit Enzon’s right to receive licensing fees, royalty payments, or any other form of compensation from such Third Party. If Enzon fails to enter into a definitive agreement with a Third Party to divest such Competing Product within [**Redacted**] after the closing of the acquisition or merger for which Enzon has provided Santaris with notice, or if Enzon elects not to divest such Competing Product, then Enzon will pay royalties to Santaris on [**Redacted**] as though such product were a Product.

5. TARGET SELECTION AND DISCOVERY PROGRAM

5.1 Enzon Right to Submit Targets; Target Submissions.

(a) Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Enzon shall nominate in writing to Santaris [**Redacted**] Targets (“Nominated Targets”) for the Discovery Program and provide the Target Submission Materials specified in clause (a) of the definition thereof for each such Target and confirm that Enzon is not a party to any contract that would prevent either Party from exercising any of the rights granted hereunder with respect to such Target. Within three (3) Business Days after such submission, Santaris shall notify Enzon in writing if Santaris opposes the nomination of any of the Nominated Targets on grounds that such Nominated Target is subject to a previously existing active Santaris internal research program or a previously existing written agreement with a Third Party that would prevent Santaris from granting rights thereto (in each case, a “Conflict”). If Santaris does not so notify Enzon that there is a Conflict with any of the Nominated Targets within such three (3) Business Day period, then each Nominated Target shall be deemed to be confirmed and accepted by Santaris. If Santaris does so notify Enzon that there is a Conflict with any such Nominated Target within such three (3) Business Day period, then such opposed Nominated Target shall be replaced by a new Nominated Target designated by Enzon in writing to Santaris within five (5) Business Days after notice of such Conflict (or within five (5) Business Days after the confirmation by an independent law firm of such Conflict as described below). Within three (3) Business Days after the designation of any replacement Nominated Target, Santaris shall notify Enzon in writing if Santaris opposes the nomination of such replacement Nominated Target on the grounds that a Conflict exists, and the procedures of the two immediately preceding sentences shall apply with respect to such replacement Nominated Target. Such procedures shall continue to apply until there are [**Redacted**] accepted and confirmed Nominated Targets. Promptly after acceptance and confirmation of each Nominated Target, Enzon shall provide to Santaris the applicable Target Submission Materials that were not previously provided.

(b) Enzon shall have the right to request that an independent U.S. law firm selected by Enzon and reasonably acceptable to Santaris confirm the existence of the Conflict. Such law firm shall not have any current or prior representation of either Party. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to engage such law firm within three (3) Business Days after such request. Such request must be made by Enzon in writing to Santaris

Execution Version

within three (3) Business Days after notice by Santaris to Enzon of such Conflict. Santaris shall provide as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the five (5) Business Days) to such law firm such records and documentation as may reasonably be required for such law firm to confirm that an appropriate basis for the Conflict exists. Such law firm shall make its determination as to whether a Conflict exists as promptly as practicable after the receipt of such records and documentation. If such law firm determines that no Conflict exists, then such Nominated Target shall be deemed confirmed and accepted by Santaris. The determination of such law firm shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. The fees of such law firm shall be borne equally by the Parties.

5.2 Target Reservation.

(a) From the date a Nominated Target is confirmed and accepted up to and including the day that is [**Redacted**] days after the Effective Date (the “Reservation Period”), Santaris will not grant to any Third Party any rights to such Nominated Target, or otherwise enter into any agreement or arrangement that would prevent Santaris from granting exclusive rights to any such Nominated Target to Enzon. On or prior to the last day of the Reservation Period, Enzon shall designate six (6) Targets for generation and delivery of LNA Compounds (the “Additional Targets”) and shall make the payment referred to in Section 7.2. Such Additional Targets may be selected from the confirmed and accepted Nominated Targets or from any other Targets; provided that such other Targets are not opposed by Santaris in writing within three (3) Business Days after such designation as a result of a Conflict; and provided, further, however, Santaris will be free to grant to Third Parties rights to any Target other than the [**Redacted**] confirmed and accepted Nominated Targets during the Reservation Period.

(b) Enzon shall only designate Additional Targets for which it has conducted a worldwide analysis of the intellectual property relating to the freedom to operate with respect to such Additional Target and for which, in Enzon’s sole discretion, such analysis reflects that there exists an acceptable freedom to operate that is not disproportionately adverse in the Santaris Territory as compared to the Enzon Territory. Enzon shall also disclose to Santaris a summary of the results of such analysis. Santaris hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such analysis will be provided only for Santaris’s convenience and none of Santaris or its Affiliates, licensees or contractors shall be entitled to rely upon such analysis for any other purpose, (ii) neither Enzon nor any of its Affiliates makes any representations or warranties as to the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the analysis, and (iii) neither Enzon nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability (whether in contract, in equity, in tort or otherwise) to Santaris or its Affiliates, licensees or contractors related to such analysis. Similarly, Enzon hereby acknowledges and agrees that (A) it assumes sole responsibility for designating any Additional Target, (B) neither Santaris nor any of its Affiliates makes any representations or warranties as to whether the use of any Additional Target is free of any patent or other intellectual property rights of Third Parties, and (C) neither Santaris nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability (whether in contract, in equity, in tort or otherwise) to Enzon or its Affiliates, licensees or contractors related to the use of any Additional Target. If at the end of the Reservation Period, Enzon designates an Additional Target that was not one of the Nominated Targets and as a result of a Conflict Santaris is unable to accept such Additional Target, Enzon shall have an additional fifty (50) days to designate an Additional Target that is

Execution Version

not subject to a Conflict. After the expiration of 150 days after the Effective Date, Enzon shall have no further rights to designate Additional Targets without the consent of Santaris.

5.3 Generation and Delivery of LNA Compounds. Following the designation of the Additional Targets, Santaris shall then, at its sole cost and expense, use its Diligent Efforts to design, identify, synthesize, screen and select in cell culture LNA Compounds that meet the applicable Compound Acceptance Criteria and to generate and deliver to Enzon LNA Compounds for all Additional Targets in roughly equal intervals within a [**Redacted**] period.

5.4 Compound Selection. Each LNA Compound delivered by Santaris to Enzon will be identified by Santaris pursuant to the selection process set forth in Schedule 5.4A (the “Compound Selection Process”), and shall satisfy the acceptance criteria set forth for such Additional Target in Schedule 5.4B (the “Compound Acceptance Criteria”). Following the Compound Selection Process, Santaris shall provide Enzon with a written report detailing the results of such process, including its design, synthesis and screening efforts, as well as the sequences of any and all LNA Compounds resulting from such process that meet the Compound Acceptance Criteria. Upon delivery by Santaris of at least [**Redacted**] of substance for at least two (2) LNA Compounds meeting the applicable Compound Acceptance Criteria for an Additional Target (each of which is an “Accepted LNA Compound”), Enzon shall pay the amount required under Section 7.3. Enzon shall have the right to synthesize or have synthesized by a Third Party, at Enzon’s sole cost, additional quantities of any and all LNA Compounds delivered by Santaris, as well as quantities of any additional LNA Compounds disclosed in the written report provided by Santaris pursuant to this Section 5.4 that also meets the applicable Compound Acceptance Criteria (each such additional LNA compound synthesized by or for Enzon, if any shall also be an Accepted LNA Compound).

5.5 In-Vitro and In-Vivo Profiling by Enzon. Enzon shall conduct such additional in vitro and in vivo testing as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion to select Accepted LNA Compounds for further Development. Enzon shall use its Diligent Efforts to determine, within [**Redacted**] after delivery of the Accepted LNA Compound against each Additional Target from Santaris, whether it wishes to select any Accepted LNA Compound to commence pre-clinical toxicology studies. Each such Accepted LNA Compound selected by Enzon in writing to Santaris shall be designated a “Selected LNA Compound.”

5.6 Additional Santaris Activities. Santaris shall, at Enzon’s request, conduct such additional work or provide such additional quantities of Selected LNA Compounds as may be agreed by the Parties, to assist Enzon in its testing activities referred to in Section 5.5. The costs of such additional work or supply shall by paid by Enzon in accordance with commercially reasonable terms.

5.7 Discovery Program Procedures.

(a) Reports. Periodically during the Discovery Program, and upon the reasonable request of the other Party, each Party shall provide such other Party’s representatives on the JSC with a written summary report that shall summarize the work

Execution Version

performed on the Discovery Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall either Party be required to provide such summary reports more than twice per calendar year.

(b) Records. Each Party shall maintain lab notebooks and other records, in sufficient detail for patent and regulatory purposes, that shall be complete and accurate and shall properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the performance of the Discovery Program. Each Party shall have the right, which shall be exercised in a reasonable manner and upon reasonable notice, to request copies of such records for the sole purpose of carrying out its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement, or to secure or enforce Patents licensed under this Agreement.

5.8 Abandoned Targets.

(a) If, in respect of any Additional Target and despite the use of Diligent Efforts, including carrying out at least [**Redacted**] rounds of LNA Compound design, synthesis and in vitro screening of not less than [**Redacted**] in each round, Santaris is unable to identify any LNA Compounds against an Additional Target that meet the applicable Compound Acceptance Criteria and reasonably believes that technical issues relating to such Additional Target prevent such identification, Santaris shall have the right to cease its Discovery Program activities in respect of such Additional Target upon notice to Enzon. Enzon shall then have the right to designate a replacement Additional Target. Such right may be exercised only once with respect to each Additional Target and shall be subject to all of the terms set forth in this Article 5, except that Enzon shall not be required to pay any additional fees to designate such replacement Additional Target. All Additional Targets for which Santaris exercises its right to cease its Discovery Program activities pursuant to this Section 5.8, shall no longer be Additional Targets and shall be designated as “Abandoned Targets”. If Enzon designates a replacement Additional Target pursuant to this Section 5.8 and such replacement Additional Target itself becomes an Abandoned Target, then Santaris shall within [**Redacted**] Business Days refund to Enzon $[**Redacted**] of the amount paid by Enzon pursuant to Section 7.2. Enzon acknowledges that it shall have no replacement right with respect to any Additional Targets for which the applicable Compound Acceptance Criteria are met and thereafter such LNA Compounds may fail to result in successful preclinical or other studies.

(b) Santaris shall be prohibited from granting any rights to, or performing work on behalf of, any Third Party with respect to any Abandoned Targets without first complying with the terms of this Section 5.8(b). If Santaris proposes, within [**Redacted**] after an Abandoned Target is so abandoned pursuant to Section 5.8(a), to grant any rights to any Third Party with respect to such Abandoned Target, Enzon shall have a first right of refusal to acquire such rights upon the same terms and conditions (including economic terms and conditions) as are provided herein as if such Abandoned Target were an Additional Target. If Santaris proposes, later than [**Redacted**] months after an Abandoned Target is so abandoned pursuant to Section 5.8(a), to grant any rights to any Third Party with respect to such Abandoned Target, Enzon shall have a first right of refusal to acquire such rights upon terms and conditions no less favorable than those by which Santaris proposes to grant such

Execution Version

rights to the Third Party. Enzon shall have ninety (90) days to exercise such right of first refusal in either event.

6. DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION

6.1 Development.

(a) Development Efforts. Enzon shall use Diligent Efforts to Develop Selected LNA Compounds in accordance with the Development Plan applicable to such Selected LNA Compound and in accordance with GLP, GCP and GMP, and shall use Diligent Efforts to meet the timelines described below; provided, that Enzon’s failure to achieve any of the milestones set forth below in the prescribed timelines despite its use of Diligent Efforts shall not constitute a breach of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing or any obligation under Section 6.2, but subject to Section 6.1(b), if Enzon fails to achieve the Development timelines set forth below in respect of any Enzon Target, Santaris may terminate this Agreement in respect of such Enzon Target pursuant to Section 10.3(d):


Development Milestone			Time to Achieve

[Redacted]			[Redacted] after delivery
			by Santaris of the Accepted LNA
			Compound

[Redacted]			(a) [Redacted] in respect
			of [Redacted] as long as
			[Redacted];

			(b) [Redacted] after the
			[Redacted] in respect of
			[Redacted]; and

			(c) in respect of other Selected
			LNA Compounds,
			[Redacted] after
			[Redacted]

(b) Extension of Time to Achieve Development Milestones. With respect to each Enzon Target [**Redacted**], Enzon shall have the right, at any time prior to the date of each milestone set forth in Section 6.1(a), to extend the date for each milestone for an additional [**Redacted**] month period. For each such milestone for which Enzon desires such extension, Enzon shall pay to Santaris an amount equal to [**Redacted**] of the amount that otherwise would have been due upon the achievement of such milestone for such Enzon Target pursuant to Section 7.4(a)(i) or 7.4(a)(ii). If Enzon makes any such ex tension payment and subsequently achieves the milestone for which such extension payment was made, Enzon shall pay only the remaining [**Redacted**] of such milestone payment pursuant to Section 7.4(a).

Execution Version

(i) Enzon shall use Diligent Efforts to prepare a plan for the Development of SPC2968, SPC3042 and each Selected LNA Compound, which plans will be designed to enable, as appropriate, the filing and receipt of Regulatory Approval in the Enzon Territory for a Product containing SPC2968, SPC3042 and each Selected LNA Compound (each such plan, an “Enzon Development Plan”).

(ii) If Santaris plans on conducting any Development activities for SPC2968, SPC3042 or any other Selected LNA Compound, Santaris shall use Diligent Efforts to prepare a plan for such Development activities, which plans will be designed to enable, as appropriate, the filing and receipt of Regulatory Approval in the Santaris Territory for a Product containing SPC2968, SPC3042 and each Selected LNA Compound (each such plan, a “Santaris Development Plan”, and each Enzon Development Plan and Santaris Development Plan, a “Development Plan”).

(iii) The initial draft of each Development Plan shall be provided to the JSC promptly after the Party completes such initial draft. Each Development Plan will set forth the objectives and planned tasks for the conduct of the Development activities, and shall contain such details as contained in the Party’s regularly prepared development plans for its other products. Each Party shall provide a copy of such initial drafts and any material changes to each Development Plan to the other Party and consider in good faith any comments such other Party may have with respect thereto.

(d) Development Activities; Clinical Trials.

(i) Enzon shall discuss with Santaris, but shall have the sole discretion to determine, whether to advance a non-Pegylated or a Pegylated Selected LNA Compound modulating a particular Enzon Target through Development. If Enzon chooses to advance only the Pegylated Selected LNA Compound modulating a particular Enzon Target through Development, neither Santaris nor its Affiliates (either alone or with or through a Third Party) shall have the right to Develop, make, use or Commercialize the non-Pegylated Selected LNA Compound either in the Santaris Territory or the Enzon Territory for so long as such Target remains an Enzon Target, except with the consent of Enzon in its judgment after taking into account in good faith the relevant rationale for such request.

(ii) In designing protocols and Development Plans for the Enzon Territory, Enzon will use commercially reasonable efforts to design a Development strategy to support filings for Regulatory Approvals in both the Enzon Territory and, subject to Section 6.1(d)(iii), the Santaris Territory; provided that, in all cases, Enzon’s Development activities comply with applicable Laws and other requirements of Regulatory Authorities of the Enzon Territory. In designing protocols and Development Plans for the Santaris Territory, Santaris will use commercially reasonable efforts to design a Development strategy to support filings for Regulatory Approvals in both the Santaris Territory and, to the extent Santaris or any of its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees choose to conduct Development activities relating to the development of indications not being developed by Enzon or otherwise relating to Development with a scope greater than to address requirements specific to the Santaris

Execution Version

Territory, the Enzon Territory; provided, that, in all cases, Santaris’s Development activities comply with applicable Laws and other requirements of Regulatory Authorities of the Santaris Territory.

(iii) Each Party (the “Sponsoring Party”) shall provide a copy of the proposed Development Plan and any proposed material amendment and any proposed protocol for each clinical trial to the other Party in advance of filing an IND or commencing a clinical trial for such protocol in order for the other Party to notify the Sponsoring Party if it believes any modifications to such Development Plan or protocol would be required to perform different or additional Development in order to support a Regulatory Filing in the Santaris Territory or, in the case of Santaris, to the extent required in paragraph (d)(ii) above, the Enzon Territory. Such other Party shall have up to five (5) Business Days to review each such Development Plan and protocol for such purpose, and provide comments thereto. If such other Party reasonably believes that any changes are necessary in order to support a Regulatory Filing in the Santaris Territory or, to the extent applicable, the Enzon Territory, the Parties shall discuss the extent and nature of such additional Development activities. If the Parties agree that the additional Development work in order to support such Regulatory Filings would add no cost or delay to the Sponsoring Party’s proposed Development activities, the Sponsoring Party shall incorporate the other Party’s reasonable scientific and medical comments into such protocol prior to filing any IND or commencing a clinical study for such protocol and the Sponsoring Party shall conduct all such Development activities at its cost and expenses. If the Parties agree that the additional Development work in order to support such Regulatory Filings would be minimal relative to the scope of the protocol, the Sponsoring Party shall incorporate the other Party’s reasonable scientific and medical comments into such protocol prior to filing any IND or commencing a clinical study for such protocol and the Sponsoring Party shall conduct all such additional Development activities at the other Party’s cost and expenses. If the Parties agree that the Development work necessary to support such Regulatory Filings would be more than minimal, the Sponsoring Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to amend the Development Plan or protocol to accommodate such additional Development activities at the other Party’s cost and expense. If the Sponsoring Party does not agree to undertake such additional Development activities, such other Party shall be solely responsible for undertaking such additional Development activities at its sole cost and expense.

(iv) Neither Party (nor any of its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees) shall be entitled to conduct any clinical trials with respect to any Product in the other Party’s Territory without the other Party’s prior written approval. If a Party desires to conduct a clinical study in the other Party’s Territory, such Party shall provide notice to the other Party of such desire and the Parties shall discuss in good faith the conduct of such clinical study, including whether the other Party will act as a contract research organization to conduct such study and the grant of such license rights as may be required to conduct such study. If the Parties agree that the other Party will act as a contract research organization, the Parties will negotiate in good faith a separate agreement to govern such contract research organization arrangement.

(e) Development Costs. Subject to Section 6.1(d)(iii), Enzon shall be responsible for all costs associated with the Development of Products for the Enzon Territory

Execution Version

and Santaris shall be responsible for all costs associated with the Development of Products for the Santaris Territory.

(f) Santaris Assistance. In regard to the Development of SPC2968, Santaris shall provide, at no additional cost to Enzon, such assistance as may be reasonably requested by Enzon (and to the extent Santaris possesses the necessary expertise) in the preparation and filing of an IND in the United States. If, following acceptance of such IND, Enzon requests Santaris to assist it further in the implementation of any aspect of the Development of a Product aimed at MAA submissions in the Enzon Territory, Santaris shall conduct such additional work as may be agreed by the Parties. The costs of such additional work shall by paid by Enzon in accordance with commercially reasonable terms.

(g) Ongoing Disclosure. Each Party will keep the other Party fully-informed about its efforts to Develop Selected LNA Compounds for such Party’s territory, including summaries of all results and data from such Development efforts, and all significant findings and developments. Such disclosures will be made in written reports to the other Party’s representatives on the JSC at least once annually. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such reports will contain disclosure of the following:

(i) summary of clinical and non-clinical Development Data, progress of initiation of sites and enrollment of patients in clinical trials, and any significant events occurring in the clinical development program;

(ii) filing of an IND or MAA or other Regulatory Filings with respect to any Selected LNA Compound in any jurisdiction;

(iii) initiation of any clinical study with respect to any Selected LNA Compound in any jurisdiction; and

(iv) identification of significant development results and clinical trial progress and Regulatory Approvals with respect to Selected LNA Compounds in any jurisdiction.

(h) Development Records. The Parties shall maintain any Development Data, related records, documents, and raw data in sufficient detail as will properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the Development of the Products. Each Party shall have the right, which shall be exercised in a reasonable manner, to copy the other Party’s Development Data for the sole purpose of carrying out its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement. To the extent not otherwise provided for herein, upon reasonable request of one Party, the other Party will provide copies of final reports and all material data relating to clinical studies performed by such other Party on Selected LNA Compounds or Products that are required to be submitted in connection with seeking Regulatory Approvals for Products, and any other information or data reasonably requested by the requesting Party that is necessary for its continued Development and Commercialization of Products in its territory.

(i) Adverse Events. Promptly following the Effective Date, Enzon and Santaris will enter into a safety data exchange agreement setting forth procedures governing the coordination of collection, investigation, reporting, and exchange of information

Execution Version

concerning adverse events sufficient to permit each Party, its Affiliates, sublicensees or licensees to comply with its legal obligations.

12.3 [**Redacted**].

12.4 Conditions to Indemnification. If any Third Party asserts a Claim with respect to any matter for which a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) is entitled to indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Party obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) thereof; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to assume direction and control of the defense, litigation, settlement, appeal or other disposition of the Third Party Claim (including the right to settle the claim solely for monetary consideration) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior consent of any such Indemnified Party as to any settlement that would materially diminish or materially adversely affect the scope, exclusivity or duration of any Patents licensed under this Agreement, would require any payment by such Indemnified Party, would require an admission of legal wrongdoing in any way on the part of an Indemnified Party or would effect an amendment of this Agreement.

(b) In the case of a Claim under Section 12.3(a), Enzon shall notify Santaris if such a Claim is commenced or threatened. Enzon shall assume control of the defense, litigation, settlement, appeal or other disposition of such a Claim with counsel selected by Enzon and reasonably acceptable to Santaris; provided, that Enzon shall keep Santaris reasonably informed as to the status of such Claim and negotiations in respect thereof, shall consult with Santaris from time to time about material matters and consider in good faith any views expressed by Santaris, Santaris shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Claim at its expense, and Enzon shall obtain the prior consent of Santaris as to any settlement thereof (such consent not to be reasonably withheld).

During such time as the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates and agents to cooperate upon request of the Indemnifying Party in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim, including by furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may reasonably be requested by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to defend any Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may (without further notice to the Indemnifying Party) undertake the defense thereof with counsel of its choice and at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable expense (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of enforcement or defense). The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to join in (including the right to conduct discovery, interview and examine witnesses and participate in all settlement conferences), but not control, at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other Party is defending as provided in this Agreement.

(d) In no event may an Indemnified Party settle or compromise any Third Party Claim for which it intends to seek indemnification from the Indemnifying Party hereunder without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, or the indemnification provided under such Section 12.1, 12.2 or 12.3 as to such Third Party Claim shall be null and void.

12.5 Insurance. Each Party shall maintain adequate liability insurance coverage or adequately plan for its product liability risks through self-insurance in such amounts and with such coverage as is customary for similar products in its respective Territory, including any legally mandatory insurance. Enzon shall procure and maintain such insurance as may be required in respect of the Enzon Territory to allow Santaris to comply with its obligations under the Third Party Licenses.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

13.1 Disputes. The Parties recognize that a bona fide dispute as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the term of this Agreement that relate to any Party’s rights or obligations hereunder. In the event of the occurrence of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, any Party may, by written notice to the other, have such dispute referred to the JSC. If the JSC is unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days, the Parties shall refer such issue to their respective Chief Executive Officers for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days after such notice is received.

13.2 If they shall be unable to resolve the dispute by negotiation by their Chief Executive Officers within thirty (30) days of the disputing Party’s notice, then the dispute shall be finally settled by binding arbitration as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and specific performance in any court or arbitral tribunal without waiting for the expiration of any such sixty (60) day period.

13.3 Governing Law; Arbitration. Resolution of all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the performance, enforcement, breach or termination of this Agreement and any remedies relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed under the substantive Laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law rules that would provide for application of the Law of a jurisdiction outside New York. If such controversy or claim cannot be resolved by means of negotiations as described in Section 13.1, then such controversy or claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration as provided below. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The award of arbitration shall be final and binding

Execution Version

upon both Parties. Any arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”). The place of arbitration shall be London, England. The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the LCIA for the purposes of the arbitration proceedings, and any counterclaims that relate in any respect to the Agreement. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three persons. Within thirty (30) days after initiation of arbitration, each Party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two Party-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator within 30 days of their appointment, which third arbitrator must be experienced in the pharmaceutical business. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA. The procedures specified in this Section 13.3 shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, that a Party, without prejudice to the above procedures, may seek injunctive relief or other provisional judicial relief if in its sole judgment such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage, and further provided that any disputes regarding the scope, patentability, inventorship, validity or enforceability of any Patent may be submitted for resolution by a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such Patent was filed or issued. Despite such action the Parties will continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified in this Section 13.3.

INITIAL PRESS RELEASE

ENZON AND SANTARIS PHARMA ENTER INTO GLOBAL COLLABORATION TO
DEVELOP NOVEL CANCER THERAPEUTICS

Alliance Strengthens Both Companies’ Oncology Pipelines

BRIDGEWATER, NJ and COPENHAGEN, DK– July X, 2006 – Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENZN) and Santaris Pharma A/S announced today that the companies have entered into a collaboration to co-develop and commercialize a series of innovative RNA Antagonists based on Santaris Pharma’s LNA® (locked nucleic acid) technology and utilizing Enzon’s oncology drug development expertise.

Under the terms of the agreement, Enzon is licensing two of Santaris Pharma’s preclinical development compounds, the HIF-1± antagonist (SPC2968) and the Survivin antagonist (SPC3042), and six additional proprietary RNA Antagonist candidates, all to be directed against novel oncology drug targets selected by Enzon. Enzon will have exclusive rights to develop and commercialize these compounds in the U.S. and other non-European territories. Santaris will retain exclusive rights to commercialization in Europe. The companies will share development data for use in their respective territories. Further, Enzon will have the opportunity to explore the potential for added benefit with its next-generation PEGylation Customized Linker Technology.

Enzon will make an initial up-front payment of $8 million to Santaris Pharma, followed by an additional $3 million upon the successful identification of certain LNA targets and additional payments on the achievement of pre-specified discovery, development and regulatory milestones, representing a potential aggregate total of more than $200 million. Enzon will pay royalties to Santaris Pharma on net sales of RNA Antagonist products resulting from the collaboration in non-European territories.

“This very important collaboration is in line with our strategic goal of advancing our presence in oncology while leveraging our access to proprietary new technologies” said Jeffrey H. Buchalter, Enzon’s chairman and chief executive officer. “This partnership will greatly enhance our R&D pipeline with the addition of two new clinical programs in the next six-to-12 months and another six preclinical compounds entering the pipeline over the next few years.”

“We are delighted to be in partnership with Enzon Pharmaceuticals, whose new management has extensive experience of developing and commercializing innovative oncology drugs, making them an ideal partner for Santaris,” said Keith McCullagh, president and chief executive officer, Santaris Pharma A/S. “Together we are committed to building a unique portfolio of RNA Antagonist drugs with the potential to address some of the underlying genetic causes of disease and improve patient outcomes in the treatment of cancer.”

About LNA^® Technology

LNATechnology, developed by Santaris Pharma, is based on Locked Nucleic Acid, a proprietary synthetic analog of ribonucleic acid (RNA) which is fixed in the shape adopted by RNA in helical conformation. When incorporated into a short nucleic acid chain (both DNA and RNA are made up of longer chains of natural nucleic acids), the presence of LNA results in several therapeutic advantages. Because LNA resembles RNA but is more stable, LNA-containing drugs have both very high binding affinity for RNA and metabolic stability. Using the “antisense” principle to block the function of specific RNAs within cells and tissues, such drugs have enhanced potency and specificity and may provide improved efficacy at lower doses than comparable drugs based on alternative chemistry. As a result, RNA Antagonists comprised of LNA have been demonstrated to be 100 to 1,000 times more potent in vitro than conventional antisense compounds and also to demonstrate more efficacy in vivo than the best siRNA’s (small interfering RNAs) published to date. In particular, they can be used to switch off the synthesis of harmful proteins, thereby potentially altering disease outcomes in cancer or other serious disorders.

About PEGylation (PEG) Technology

Enzon’s proprietary PEG (polyethylene glycol) technology can be applied to a number of different types of molecules including proteins, peptides, antibodies, and oligonucleotides. Many of these compounds possess pharmacologic limitations, such as toxicity, poor solubility, and limited half-life. Through the chemical attachment of PEG, these limitations can potentially be overcome and a compound generated with substantially enhanced therapeutic value. Specific advantages of PEG can include increased efficacy, reduced dosing frequency, reduced toxicity, increased drug stability, and enhanced drug solubility. Enzon’s PEG expertise includes linker chemistries that are designed to incorporate a stable chemical bond between the native molecule and the PEG, as well as a Customized Linker Technology™, which is a next-generation platform that utilizes releasable linkers designed to release the native molecule at a controlled rate.

About Enzon Pharmaceuticals

Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of therapeutics to treat patients with cancer and adjacent diseases. Enzon’s specialized sales force markets ABELCET®, ONCASPAR®, ADAGEN®, and DEPOCYT® in the United States. In addition, Enzon also receives royalties on sales of PEG-INTRON®, marketed by Schering-Plough Corporation, and MACUGEN®, marketed by OSI Pharmaceuticals and Pfizer Inc. Enzon’s product-driven strategy includes an extensive drug development program that leverages its proprietary technologies, including a Customized Linker TechnologyTM PEGylation platform that utilizes customized linkers designed to release compounds at a controlled rate. Enzon also utilizes contract manufacturing opportunities to broaden its revenue base and enhance its organizational productivity. Enzon complements its internal research and development efforts with strategic initiatives, such as partnerships designed to broaden its revenue base or provide access to promising new technologies or product development opportunities. Further information about Enzon and this press release can be found on the Company’s Web site at www.enzon.com.

About Santaris Pharma

Santaris Pharma A/S is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focussed on developing next generation RNA-silencing drugs based on its proprietary LNA^®(Locked Nucleic Acid) technology for the treatment of cancer, metabolic diseases and gentic disorders. Created in May 2003 and backed by a broad group of leading international life-science venture capital investors, Santaris Pharma completed a 40m Euro second round equity investment in May 2006.

The Company’s drug pipeline is comprised of novel RNA Antagonist drugs based on its unique LNA® chemistry. LNA® drugs, with their high potency and biostability, have the potential to transform the field of RNA inhibiting therapeutics, making specific and effective gene silencing a reality in human medicine. If this potential is realised, even in part, it may be possible to design new drugs to treat a wide variety of human diseases by switching off the expression of harmful genes. Santaris Pharma holds the world wide patent rights to the exploitation of LNA® in pharmaceuticals and presently has three drugs in preclinical or clinical development. The lead drug candidate, SPC2996, is currently undergoing an international, multicentre, phase I/II clinical study in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
