All amounts held in such account shall be held for the benefit of Eyetech and Eyetech will receive interest accrued in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, such amounts shall be released to Eyetech in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. 3.2 Performance Milestones. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Pfizer shall pay to Eyetech the following payments (each, a "Performance Milestone Payment") in respect of each of the following milestone events (each, a "Performance Milestone"):
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Milestone Event Payment Amount - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (i) In the event Net Sales in the [**] equal or exceed $[**] in any Year. $[**] - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (ii) In the event Net Sales in the [**] equal or exceed $[**] in any Year. $[**] - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (iii) In the event Net Sales in the [**] equal or exceed $[**] in any Year. $[**] - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (iv) In the event Net Sales in the [**] equal or exceed $[**] in any Year. $[**] - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (v) In the event Net Sales in the [**] equal or exceed $[**] in any Year. $[**] - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Parties understand and agree that all of the Performance Milestone Payments referenced in this Section 3.2(a) are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3.2(b) and (c). (b) Performance Milestone Payments shall be due and owing, on or before the date sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable Year, commencing with the first full Year following (or commencing concurrently with, if Launch occurs on January 1 of any Year) the first Launch of an AMD Product in the US Territory and for the subsequent [**] Years immediately following such first full Year. (c) Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 3.2(b), each Performance Milestone Payment shall be paid in annual installments of twenty percent (20%) of the total payment amount over five (5) Years, commencing with the first Year in which such Performance Milestone is achieved and continuing for each of the immediately following four (4) Years during which the Performance Milestone is achieved. It is agreed and understood that no Performance Milestone Payment (taking all annual installments as a single Performance Milestone Payment) shall be payable more than once. For the avoidance of doubt, the following examples are provided to illustrate how Performance Milestone Payments might be paid: Example #1
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate Net Sales $[**] $[**] $[**] $[**] $[**] $[**] Level [**] - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate Net Sales Level [**] >$[**] >$[**] >$[**] >$[**] >$[**] <$[**] <$[**] <$[**] <$[**] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >$[**]>$[**] [**] [**] [**] [**] [**] >$[**] >$[**] >$[**] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Performance Milestone $[**] $[**] $[**] $[**] $[**] Payments to Eyetech - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For avoidance of doubt, the five (5) consecutive Year period during which each Performance Milestone Payment is payable in increments may be a different five (5) consecutive Year period for each of the respective Performance Milestone Payments (e.g., in Example #2 above, the Performance Milestone Payment for achieving an aggregate annual Net Sales level [**] of $[**] would continue to be payable in installments in years 6 and 7 if the Performance Milestone were achieved in such years notwithstanding the fact that the Performance Milestone Payment for achieving an aggregate annual Net Sales level [**] of $[**] would no longer be payable after year 5). ARTICLE 4 REVENUE SHARE 4.1 Revenue Share. In consideration of the licenses granted to Pfizer hereunder and the disclosure to Pfizer of Eyetech Technical Information, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Pfizer shall share revenues with Eyetech based on Net Sales by Pfizer, its Affiliates and sublicensees [**] in accordance with the following: 21 (a) EU. With respect to Net Sales in the EU in each Year, Pfizer shall pay Eyetech [**] (x) for aggregate Net Sales of all Products in such Year below $[**], a royalty of [**] percent ([**]%) of such Net Sales, and (y) for aggregate Net Sales of all Products in such Year of $[**] or more, a royalty of [**] percent ([**]%) of such incremental Net Sales. (b) Rest of ROW Territory. With respect to Net Sales in the ROW Territory, excluding the EU, Pfizer shall pay Eyetech a royalty of [**] percent ([**]%) of aggregate Net Sales of all Products. (c) Royalty Adjustments for Generic Products. If, during a given Quarter, there is Generic Competition in a particular country, then, for each such country in which there is Generic Competition, the royalties set forth in Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1(c) or in Section 4.1(d) or 10.7, in no event shall the aggregate reduction in the royalty payments otherwise payable under Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) with respect to any given Net Sales of Products in a country be reduced by more than an aggregate of [**] percent ([**]%) as a result of the royalty reduction provisions of this Section 4.1(c) and Sections 4.1(d) and 10.7. (d) Revenue Share Term. Royalty payments [**] under this Section 4.1 shall continue on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis for the applicable Royalty Term; provided that during portions of any Royalty Term in which no Valid Claim exists with respect to a Product in a country, the royalty payments otherwise payable under Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.1(c), be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%). (e) Certain ROW Sales. Pfizer shall not, for the purpose of circumventing the higher royalty payable in respect of EU Net Sales, sell Products to a third party in the ROW 22 Territory outside of the EU in situations in which Pfizer knows that such third party will resell the Products into the EU. 4.2 Survival of Licenses After Expiration of Royalty Term and After Expiration of Co-Promotion Term. Upon expiration of each Royalty Term, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, the licenses set forth in Section 2.1(a) and, subject to Pfizer continuing to manufacture the Products in accordance with the same quality standards observed by Pfizer with respect to the manufacture of Products during the Royalty Term, the license to Trademarks in the ROW Territory set forth in Section 10.1(d) of the Collaboration Agreement shall become fully paid-up and perpetual with respect to such Product in such country. Upon expiration of the Co-Promotion Term, on a Product-by-Product basis, the licenses set forth in Sections 2.1(b) shall become fully paid-up, perpetual non-exclusive licenses with respect to such Product in the US Territory. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.2 shall not apply with respect to any license set forth in Section 2.1 that is terminated before the applicable Royalty Term or Co-Promotion Term expires, as applicable. 4.3 Third Party Royalties. With respect to royalties payable to third parties payable based on sales of Products: (a) With respect to such Net Sales in the US Territory, Eyetech shall pay such royalties and include all such royalty payments in its Quarterly Expense Reports (as defined in Section 8.6(b) of the Collaboration Agreement) for the purpose of including such royalty payments in calculations of the quarterly payments payable pursuant to Section 8.6(d) of the Collaboration Agreement. (b) With respect to such sales in the ROW Territory, Pfizer shall be responsible for [**] percent ([**]%) of such royalties, except as provided for in subsection (d) 23 below. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any withholding or other taxes are payable by Pfizer on any third party royalty payments due with respect to sales in the ROW Territory, then Pfizer shall make such tax payments in addition to making the payments to Eyetech set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. If any withholding or other taxes are payable by Eyetech on any third party royalty payments due with respect to sales in the ROW Territory, and such taxes are not deductible from the royalty payments due to the third parties, then Pfizer shall pay to Eyetech an additional amount equal to such taxes. Pfizer shall indemnify Eyetech and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any liability with respect to withholding or other taxes that are payable by Pfizer or Eyetech on any third party royalty payments due with respect to sales in the ROW Territory. The Parties shall establish such procedures as are reasonably necessary to permit them to reconcile Eyetech's actual payments of such third party royalties with Pfizer's payments to Eyetech under this Section 4.3(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3(b), Pfizer shall not have any responsibility for withholding taxes that become payable solely as a result of an assignment by Eyetech of Eyetech's rights to receive payments from Pfizer to an Affiliate of Eyetech or other third party. (c) With respect to Pfizer's responsibility for the payments of royalties payable by Eyetech to third parties payable based on Net Sales as set forth in Section 4.3(b), Eyetech shall send Pfizer a quarterly invoice that shall be based on Pfizer's quarterly report of Net Sales pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall reflect the amounts due from Pfizer under Section 4.3(b). Pfizer shall, within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such invoice, make payment under such invoice by electronic transfer in immediately available funds to the account 24 designated in writing by Eyetech, which designation shall take place at least two (2) Business Days before the payment is due. (d) Pfizer shall be entitled to deduct a portion of third party royalties payable by Pfizer with respect to sales in the EU from royalties otherwise payable to Eyetech pursuant to Section 4.1(a) as follows: (i) With respect to third party royalties payable pursuant to third party agreements, other than the MEEI/Draper License, entered into by Eyetech prior to the Execution Date, on sales of Products in the EU corresponding to increments of aggregate Net Sales of all Products in the EU of greater than $[**] in any Year, Pfizer may deduct [**]percent ([**]%) of such incremental third party royalties. (ii) With respect to third party royalties payable pursuant to any other third party license agreement, other than the MEEI/Draper License, on sales of Products in the EU corresponding to increments of aggregate Net Sales of all Products in the EU of greater than $[**] in any Year, which agreement is necessary to avoid infringement of third party rights with respect to Products in the EU, Pfizer may deduct [**] percent ([**]%) of such incremental third party royalties, up to a maximum aggregate deduction in any Year of [**] percent ([**]%) of such incremental Net Sales. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any and all third party royalties which relate to or otherwise result from any misrepresentation or breach of Eyetech's representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the Collaboration Agreement shall be excluded from the provisions of this Section 4.3. (f) Nothing in this Section 4.3 shall be construed to limit either Party's indemnification obligations pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement. 25 (g) After the Effective Date, Eyetech shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and execute any amendments to the Gilead License, Shearwater License and Isis License necessary to conform the definitions of "Net Sales" (or comparable terms thereunder) with the definition of "Net Sales" hereunder, so as to provide for an equivalent basis for calculating royalties due under the Gilead License, Shearwater License and Isis License as is used under this Agreement; provided that Eyetech shall have no obligation to pay any money to obtain such amendments and Eyetech shall have no obligation to enter into any amendment that would increase Eyetech's or its sublicensees' (including Pfizer's) royalty or other obligations under the Gilead License, Shearwater License or Isis License. ARTICLE 5 ACCOUNTING AND PROCEDURES FOR PAYMENTS. Payments hereunder shall be subject to the following provisions: 5.1 Sales Subject to Royalty Obligations. Sales between or among Pfizer, its Affiliates or sublicensees shall not be subject to royalties under Section 4.1; royalties shall only be calculated upon sales by Pfizer, its Affiliates and sublicensees to independent third parties. Pfizer shall be responsible for payment obligations arising from sales by its Affiliates and sublicensees. 5.2 Royalty Payments; Royalty Reports; Pfizer Operating Profit. (a) Pfizer shall provide Eyetech with a report of Net Sales with respect to each Quarter (based on the quarters specified in the second sentence of Section 1.44) within forty-five (45) days after the end of such period, which report shall identify, on a country-by-country basis, the Product, gross sales, Net Sales, deductions from gross sales taken to calculate Net Sales, and the royalty amount payable to Eyetech under Section 4.1, as well as the 26 computation of such royalty amount. Pfizer shall make royalty payments to Eyetech on Net Sales with respect to each Quarter within sixty (60) days after the end of each such period. Royalty reports shall be kept confidential by Eyetech and not disclosed to any other party other than Gilead, Shearwater, Isis and their respective accountants and Boards of Directors. In addition, Eyetech shall be entitled to disclose such information as required for the purposes of preparing and disclosing to third parties Eyetech's financial statements, as required to comply with applicable Laws or requirements imposed by any stock exchange or Nasdaq and to third party lenders in connection with Eyetech's financing activities. (b) Within ninety (90) days of the end of the final Quarter of each Year during the Term, Pfizer will provide Eyetech with a report [**] by which [**] and pay [**] to Eyetech together with such report. 5.3 Currency Exchange; Late Payments. All payments made hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars and shall be made by electronic transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as Eyetech shall designate in writing at least five (5) business days before the payment is due. For the purposes of determining the amount of royalties due for the relevant Quarter, the amount of Net Sales in any foreign currency shall be computed by (a) converting such amount for the relevant Quarter into U.S. dollars at the Average Exchange Rate for the Quarter (the "Average Exchange Rate" means, for each Quarter for each currency in which Products sales to third parties are denominated, the average of the prevailing commercial rate of exchange for purchasing U.S. dollars with such currency on the last business day of each Pfizer accounting period in the relevant Quarter as published in The Financial Times), and (b) deducting the amount of any governmental tax, duty, charge or other fee actually paid by Pfizer or its Affiliates in respect of such conversion into and remittance of U.S. dollars. All payments 27 under this Agreement shall bear interest from the date due until paid at a rate equal to the prime rate of Citibank, NA as announced on the date such payment was due plus three percent (3%), compounded on a calendar quarterly basis. In addition, Pfizer shall reimburse Eyetech for all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, incurred in the collection of late payments. 5.4 Withholding Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3(b), any taxes required to be paid or withheld by Pfizer, its Affiliates or sublicensees for the account of Eyetech on amounts payable under this Agreement shall be deducted from the amounts payable at the rates specified by applicable Law. In addition, Pfizer shall provide promptly to Eyetech receipts from the government or taxing authority-evidencing payment of such taxes. 5.5 Audits. Pfizer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to, keep full and accurate books and records setting forth gross sales, Net Sales[**] and amounts payable to Eyetech. Pfizer shall permit Eyetech, at Eyetech's sole expense, by a nationally recognized independent certified public accountants selected by Eyetech (as to which Pfizer has no reasonable objection), to examine such books and records upon at least thirty (30) days' advance written notice during normal business hours and in a manner that does not materially interfere with Pfizer's business, but not later than three (3) years following the rendering of any such reports, accountings and payments. The foregoing right of review may be exercised only once with respect to each such periodic report and payment. Such accountants may be required by Pfizer to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement, and in no event shall such accountants reveal to Eyetech the details of its review except insofar as is necessary to verify the accuracy of reports and payments made or due hereunder. The results of any such audit shall be delivered in writing to each Party. Any underpayment determined by such audit shall promptly 28 be paid or refunded by Pfizer. If Pfizer has underpaid amounts due under this Agreement by more than five percent (5%) over any reporting period, Pfizer shall also reimburse Eyetech for the cost of such audit (with the cost of the audit to be paid by Eyetech in all other cases), plus interest at the interest rate set forth in Section 5.3, from the date of any such underpayment. Any dispute arising out of any such audit and any other dispute arising out of the Parties' respective payment obligations under this Agreement shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with Article 11, and either party may submit such dispute to such binding arbitration. 5.6 Blocked Payments. In the event that, by reason of applicable Laws or regulations in any country, it becomes impossible or illegal for Pfizer to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, royalties or other payments to Eyetech, such royalties or other payments shall be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of Eyetech in a recognized banking institution designated by Eyetech or, if none is designated by Eyetech within a period of thirty (30) days, in a recognized banking institution selected by Pfizer and identified in a notice in writing given to Eyetech. ARTICLE 6 TECHNICAL AND OTHER INFORMATION 6.1 Disclosure of Technical Information.

In such event, the Party desiring to issue an a press release or make a public statement or disclosure shall provide the other Party with a copy of the proposed press release, statement or disclosure for review and approval in advance, which advance approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No other public statement or disclosure concerning the existence or terms of this Agreement shall be made, either directly or indirectly, by either Party hereto, without first obtaining the written approval of the other Party. Once any public statement or disclosure has been approved in accordance with this 30 Section, then either Party may appropriately communicate information contained in such permitted statement or disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.2, Section 6.2 or this Section 6.3, a Party may (a) disclose the existence and terms of the Transaction Agreements (as defined in the Collaboration Agreement) where required, as reasonably determined by the disclosing Party, by applicable Law, by applicable stock exchange or Nasdaq regulation or by order or other ruling of a competent court, (b) disclose the existence and terms of the Transaction Agreements under obligations of confidentiality to agents, advisors, contractors, investors and sublicensees, and to potential agents, advisors, contractors, investors and sublicensees, in connection with such Party's activities hereunder and in connection with such Party's financing activities and (c) publicly announce any of the matters set forth in Exhibit 17.14(c) of the Collaboration Agreement, provided that such announcements do not entail disclosure of non-public technical or scientific information (which for clarity, excludes clinical trial results) and the announcing Party provides the other Party with a copy of the proposed text of such announcement sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release or publication thereof to afford such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text. 6.4 Applicability of Obligations to Affiliates, Employees, Directors, Agents, Independent Contractors and Consultants. The confidentiality obligations of the Parties under this Article 6 shall be applicable to Parties, as well as their respective Affiliates, employees, directors, agents, independent contractors and consultants. ARTICLE 7 PATENTS 7.1 Third Party License Agreements. The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Article 7 are subject in all respects to the provisions of any license agreements between 31 Eyetech and third party licensors of the Eyetech Patent Rights and the obligations of Eyetech and the rights of Pfizer under this Article 7 are limited accordingly. Eyetech and Pfizer shall, within the foregoing constraints, cooperate in the continued prosecution and maintenance by Eyetech or Gilead of the Eyetech Patent Rights listed on Exhibit 1.18 and licensed to Eyetech by Gilead. After the Effective Date, Eyetech shall not, without Pfizer's consent, enter into any third party license agreement relating to material Patent Rights that Eyetech proposes to license from a third party and that Eyetech reasonably foresees would, upon the execution of such third party license agreement, constitute Eyetech Patent Rights, if Pfizer's obligations, pursuant to Section(s) 4.3(a) and/or 4.3(b), to share in or pay the royalties payable under third party license agreements, as applicable, would apply to royalties payable under such third party license agreement; provided that if Eyetech proposes to license Patent Rights from a third party that would, upon the execution of such third party license agreement, constitute Eyetech Patent Rights, and Pfizer withholds its consent for more than thirty (30) days after Eyetech notifies Pfizer that Eyetech proposes to license such Patent Rights, then Eyetech may elect to license such Patent Rights at Eyetech's sole expense, in which case such Patent Rights shall be excluded from the Eyetech Patent Rights. 7.2 Disclosure of Patent Applications and Proceedings. Eyetech shall disclose to Pfizer the complete texts of all patent applications within the Eyetech Patent Rights filed by Eyetech, or by Eyetech's licensors to the extent Eyetech is permitted to provide such texts to Pfizer under the terms of Eyetech's agreements with such licensors, as well as information received concerning the institution or possible institution of any interference, opposition, re-examination, reissue, revocation or any official proceeding involving patents and patent applications within the Eyetech Patent Rights prosecuted and/or maintained by Eyetech, or by 32 Eyetech's licensors to the extent Eyetech receives such information, anywhere in the Territory. Pfizer shall have the right to review all such pending applications and other proceedings and make recommendations to Eyetech, and to Eyetech's licensors if permitted under the terms of Eyetech's agreements with such licensors, concerning such applications and proceedings and their conduct. Eyetech agrees, subject to any limitations set forth in Eyetech's agreements with Eyetech's licensors, to keep Pfizer promptly and fully informed of the course of such patent prosecution and other proceedings including, without limitation, by providing Pfizer with copies of all substantive communications submitted to or received from patent offices throughout the Territory. Pfizer shall provide such patent consultation at no cost to Eyetech or its licensors, and shall hold all information disclosed to it under this Section 7.2 as confidential subject to the provisions of Article 6 of this Agreement. 7.3 Prosecution and Maintenance; Costs. Eyetech shall not abandon any Eyetech Patent Rights with respect to which Eyetech controls prosecution and maintenance activities, either directly or through step-in rights granted to Eyetech in any third party license agreement, without at least 90 days' prior notice of such abandonment to Pfizer. If Eyetech decides to abandon any such Eyetech Patent Rights, Pfizer shall have the option to continue the prosecution and maintenance of such Eyetech Patent Rights in Eyetech's name at Pfizer's expense, subject to any limitations set forth in Eyetech's agreements with Eyetech's licensors. If Pfizer desires that Eyetech file any application for a patent in specific countries, or file any patent applications on improvements and variations upon inventions disclosed in the Eyetech Patent Rights or otherwise relating to the Compound or the Products, Pfizer shall advise Eyetech of such countries or improvements, variations or inventions, as the case may be. Eyetech shall consider Pfizer's request in good faith and shall not unreasonably decline to file the requested patent 33 application and, if Eyetech files the patent applications as requested, Pfizer shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable fees for patent counsel, for filing and for prosecuting such requested patent applications; provided that Eyetech may decline to file the requested patent application if Eyetech does not possess all legal rights necessary to make such filing. Pfizer shall have reasonable access to all documentation, filings and communications to or from the respective patent offices and shall be kept advised as to the status of all pending applications to the extent pertaining to the Compound or any Products and to the extent Eyetech is able to provide such access, it being understood that all such documentation, filings and communications shall constitute Confidential Information of Eyetech. Unless otherwise explicitly set forth above in this Section 7.3, [**] of the Parties' patent prosecution and maintenance costs relating to the Eyetech Patent Rights in the US Territory and [**] of the Parties' patent prosecution and maintenance costs relating to the Eyetech Patent Rights in the ROW Territory. Eyetech shall include all such US Territory costs in Eyetech's Quarterly Expense Reports pursuant to Section 8.6(b) of the Collaboration Agreement. Pfizer shall reimburse Eyetech for Pfizer's share of all such ROW Territory costs within thirty (30) days after receiving any invoice from Eyetech for such costs. 7.4 Third Party Infringement Actions. If any third party shall in the reasonable opinion of either Party, within any country in the Territory, infringe any Eyetech Patent Rights through infringing activities in the Field, the Party learning of such infringement shall promptly notify the other Party and provide it with any available evidence of such possible infringement. In the ROW Territory, as between Pfizer and Eyetech, and subject to any rights retained by Eyetech's licensors, Pfizer shall have the first right to bring suit and to take action against such infringer in its own name, or in the name of Eyetech (or Eyetech's licensor, to the extent Eyetech 34 possesses the rights necessary to enable Pfizer to join such licensor under the terms of Eyetech's license agreement with such licensor; provided that Eyetech shall have no liability for any failure of such licensor to appear or cooperate in such action) where necessary, in which case Pfizer shall control the prosecution of any such suit or claim, including without limitation the choice of counsel, and shall have the exclusive right to settle or dispose of any such suit or claim. In the US Territory, as between Pfizer and Eyetech, and subject to any rights retained by Eyetech's licensors, Eyetech shall have the first right to bring suit and to take action against such infringer in its own name, or in the name of Pfizer where necessary, in which case Eyetech shall control the prosecution of any such suit or claim, including without limitation the choice of counsel, and shall have the exclusive right to settle or dispose of any such suit or claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.4, but subject to any legal obligations of Eyetech to its licensors with respect to Eyetech Patent Rights, if a Party fails to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action that it has the initial right to initiate or take pursuant to this Section 7.4 within ninety (90) days after becoming aware of the basis for such suit or action, then the other Party may, in its discretion, provide the Party having the initial right with written notice of such other Party's intent to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action. If such other Party provides such notice and the Party having the initial right fails to initiate a suit or take such other appropriate action within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from the other Party, then the other Party shall have the right to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action that it believes is reasonably required to protect the intellectual property rights at issue. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, in the case of an infringement action pursuant to Section 505(b) of the Act, subject to any legal obligations of Eyetech to its licensors with respect to Eyetech Patent Rights, if the Party that has the initial right to initiate such action fails to notify 35 the other Party, at least fifteen (15) days prior to such Party's deadline under the Act for bringing such action, that such Party will bring such action, then the other Party may, in its discretion, initiate such action after giving written notice of such election to the Party with the initial right to initiate such action. The proceeds of any recovery, court award or settlement of such action shall, after any required payments to Eyetech's licensors, first be applied to reimburse the Parties for the costs and expenses of such prosecution and the balance shall be paid, for amounts relating to the US Territory, [**] percent ([**]%) to Pfizer and [**] percent ([**]%) to Eyetech, and for amounts relating to the ROW Territory, [**] percent ([**]%) to Pfizer and [**] percent ([**]%) to Eyetech. 7.5 Patent Term Extensions. The Parties shall cooperate, if necessary and appropriate, with each other in gaining patent term extension wherever applicable to Eyetech Patent Rights. The Parties shall, if necessary and appropriate, use reasonable efforts to agree upon a joint strategy relating to patent term extensions, but, in the absence of mutual agreement with respect to any extension issue, a patent shall be extended if either Party elects to extend such patent. Eyetech shall use commercially reasonable efforts to [**]. The Parties shall mutually agree upon [**], Eyetech will [**] use commercially reasonable efforts to [**], it being agreed that such commercially reasonable efforts [**] of the costs of seeking and/or obtaining patent term extensions relating to the Eyetech Patent Rights in the US Territory and [**] of the costs of seeking and/or obtaining patent term extensions relating to the Eyetech Patent Rights in the ROW Territory. Eyetech shall include all such US Territory costs in Eyetech's Quarterly Expense Reports pursuant to Section 8.6(b) of the Collaboration Agreement. Pfizer shall reimburse Eyetech for all such ROW Territory costs incurred by Eyetech within thirty (30) days after receiving any invoice from Eyetech for such costs. 36 7.6 US Territory Intellectual Property Infringement Claims. Each Party's indemnification obligations to the other Party with respect to any actions, claims, demands, suits or other legal proceedings are brought or threatened to be brought against either Party by a third party for infringement of such third party's trademarks, know-how, Patent Rights or other intellectual property rights relating to the Parties' Co-Promotion of Products by virtue of the Parties' manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of Products hereunder or under the Collaboration Agreement in furtherance of such Co-Promotion of Products are set forth in Section 12.6 of the Collaboration Agreement. 7.7 ROW Territory Intellectual Property Infringement Claims. Each Party's indemnification obligations to the other Party with respect to any actions, claims, demands, suits or other legal proceedings are brought or threatened to be brought against either Party by a third party for infringement of such third party's trademarks, know-how, Patent Rights or other intellectual property rights relating to Pfizer's commercialization of Products in the ROW Territory by virtue of the Parties' manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of Products hereunder or under the Collaboration Agreement in furtherance of such commercialization of Products in the ROW Territory are set forth in Section 12.6 of the Collaboration Agreement. 7.8 Ownership and Prosecution of Patent Rights Included in the Collaboration Intellectual Property. As between Eyetech and Pfizer, (a) Eyetech shall solely own all inventions included in the Collaboration Intellectual Property invented solely by Eyetech's employees and agents, (b) Pfizer shall solely own all inventions included in the Collaboration Intellectual Property invented solely by Pfizer's employees and agents, and (c) the Parties shall jointly own all inventions included in the Collaboration Intellectual Property invented by employees and agents of both Parties. Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with United States patent 37 law. Each Party shall have the first right to prosecute and maintain Patent Rights included in the Collaboration Intellectual Property solely owned by such Party and Eyetech shall have the first right to prosecute and maintain Patent Rights included in the Collaboration Intellectual Property jointly owned by the Parties. Neither Party shall abandon any Patent Rights included in the Collaboration Intellectual Property that such Party has the first right to prosecute and maintain without at least 90 days' prior notice of such abandonment to the other Party. If a Party decides to abandon any such Patent Rights, the other Party shall have the option to continue the prosecution and maintenance of such Patent Rights in the name(s) of the Party or Parties owning such Patent Rights and at such other Party's expense.

If any applicable court of competent jurisdiction determines this Agreement or the Collaboration Agreement to be executory in nature, such agreements shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365 (n) of the Bankruptcy 59 Code, licenses of rights to "intellectual property" as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. 12.7 Severability.

Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party or Parties waiving such term or condition. Neither the waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement nor the failure on the part of any Party, on one or more instances, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege, shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or condition for any similar instance in the future or of any subsequent breach hereof. All rights, remedies, undertakings, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative and none of them shall be a limitation of any other remedy, right, undertaking, obligation or agreement. 12.9 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. 12.10 Further Assurances. Following the date hereof, Eyetech and Pfizer shall and, to the extent this Agreement expressly imposes obligations on its Affiliates, each Party shall cause each of its respective Affiliates to, from time to time, execute and deliver such additional 60 instruments, documents, conveyances or assurances and take such other actions as shall be necessary or otherwise reasonably requested by Pfizer or Eyetech, to confirm and assure the rights and obligations provided for in this Agreement, and render effective the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. 12.11 Third Party Beneficiaries. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any third party including, without limitation, any creditor of either Party. No third party shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reasons of any such provision make any claim in respect of any debt, liability or obligation (or otherwise) against either Party hereto. 12.12 Performance by Subsidiaries and Affiliates. To the extent that this Agreement imposes obligations on Subsidiaries and Affiliates of a Party, such Party agrees to cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to perform such obligations. 12.13 Counterparts.
