During the term of the Regulatory Services Agreement, all of Eyetech's regulatory obligations under this Agreement are subject to Pfizer's performance of its obligations under the Regulatory Services Agreement to the extent Eyetech's performance of Eyetech's obligations depends on Pfizer's performance of Pfizer's obligations under the Regulatory Services Agreement. 36 ARTICLE 5 PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT 5.1 Development Plan and Budget. The CDRSC shall develop an annual development plan, which shall include preclinical and clinical plans and a budget (a "Development Plan") in respect of the Products consistent with the terms of this Agreement for each Year during the Co-Promotion Term. The CDRSC shall meet to discuss the first Development Plan within ninety (90) days after the Execution Date. A description of the overall development programs for development of the AMD Product and DME Product is attached as Exhibit 5.1(a), and a summary of the budgets for agreed upon Development Costs for such programs (respectively, the "AMD Agreed Development Costs" and the "DME Agreed Development Costs") are attached as Exhibit 5.1(b) to this Agreement. Each annual Development Plan may be updated throughout the Year as deemed appropriate by the CDRSC. Cumulative Development Costs for each of the AMD Product and DME Product shall not exceed the AMD Agreed Development Costs and the DME Agreed Development Costs, respectively, for such Products absent mutual consent of the Parties. The Parties' respective obligations with respect to Development Costs shall be as set forth in Section 8.1, provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, neither Party shall be obligated to pay for any Development Costs in excess of the AMD Agreed Development Costs or the DME Agreed Development Costs, respectively, except to the extent a Party exercises its final decision-making authority in accordance with Article 3 to approve such excess Development Costs over the objection of the other Party or otherwise unilaterally incurs such excess Development Costs, in which case the Party exercising such final decision-making authority or unilaterally incurring excess Development Costs shall be solely responsible for such excess Development Costs. The Parties 37 acknowledge that the budgets set forth in Exhibit 5.1(b) do not cover preclinical Development Costs for periods after the end of 2003 and do not cover Development Costs for manufacturing process development and optimization. With respect to such Development Costs not covered by the budgets set forth in Exhibit 5.1(b), the Parties shall discuss reasonably necessary preclinical Development Costs for subsequent periods and Development Costs for manufacturing process development and optimization, and amend Exhibit 5.1(b) to cover such additional Development Costs. 5.2 AMD Product and DME Product Development. Each of the Parties shall, during the Co-Promotion Term, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop and obtain Approvals for at least one AMD Product and one DME Product as provided in this Agreement. In the event that a party fails to exercise such Commercially Reasonable Efforts, such Party's sole liability and the other Party's sole remedy for such failure shall be termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.2. 5.3 Development of Products for Additional Indications in the Field. At the request of either Party, the Parties shall in good faith meet and discuss jointly developing Additional Developed Products where preclinical and/or clinical results provide a reasonable basis for pursuing such additional development or the pursuit of such additional development is otherwise potentially commercially attractive. If the Parties agree to pursue such additional development, the Parties shall amend the applicable Development Plan(s) accordingly. If the Parties do not agree to pursue such additional development, either Party shall have the right to pursue development of such Additional Developed Products at its sole expense, subject to the other Party's rights under this Agreement with respect to the Co-Promotion of Products (including Additional Developed Products); provided, however, that such additional development would 38 not, based on the best available scientific evidence, be reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Co-Promotion of the Products. ARTICLE 6 LAUNCH, CO-PROMOTION AND DETAILING 6.1 Co-Promotion of Products. Eyetech and Pfizer shall be jointly responsible for the Co-Promotion of Products in the US Territory, with each Party participating (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) in all types of marketing activity in the US Territory. Each of the Parties shall Co-Promote the Products in the US Territory during the Co-Promotion Term in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Marketing Plan, and in compliance with all Laws. In conducting Co-Promotion activities, each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Co-Promote the sale of the Products in the US Territory. In the event that a Party fails to exercise such Commercially Reasonable Efforts, such Party's sole liability and the other Party's sole remedy for such failure shall be (a) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.2 and (b) if applicable to such failure, the remedies set forth in Section 6.5 below. All aspects of each Marketing Plan will be determined pursuant to the committee system set forth in Article 3. 6.2 Marketing Plan and Budget. (a) The CSC shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.4(c), (d), (e) and (f), develop a Marketing Plan (a "Marketing Plan") and a marketing budget (a "Co-Promotion Budget") for the period from the Effective Date through Launch of the first Product in the US Territory and for each Year thereafter during the Co-Promotion Term consistent with Exhibit 6.2 and the other terms of this Agreement. The first Marketing Plan shall be a pre-Launch Marketing Plan, such Marketing Plan to be as approved by the JOC within six (6) months of the 39 Effective Date (the "Pre-Launch Marketing Plan"). The Pre-Launch Marketing Plan shall contain a pre-Launch Co-Promotion Budget covering the period of time from the Effective Date through the Launch of the first Product in the US Territory of up to $[**] or such higher amount as is agreed between the Parties. The pre-Launch Co-Promotion Budget shall not exceed $[**] unless otherwise agreed by both Parties, and neither Party's election to withhold such agreement shall be subject to the other Party's decision-making authority. Neither Party shall engage in any Co-Promotion activities except as provided in the applicable Marketing Plan. Subsequent annual Marketing Plans will describe the plan for commercialization of the Products in the US Territory, including: (a) general strategies for the Detailing and marketing of the Products and allocation of responsibilities for marketing activities; (b) Detail Requirements and sampling activities, if any; (c) market and sales forecasts; (d) pricing and discounting analysis; (e) advertising, public relations and other promotional programs, including professional symposia and speaker and activity programs to be used in the Co-Promotion of the Products; and (f) [**]. Each Marketing Plan and the Co-Promotion Budget may, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.4(c), (d), (e) and (f), be updated from time to time as deemed appropriate by the CSC. (b) Exhibit 5.1(b) also includes [**], which Product Studies will be performed absent mutual agreement by the Parties to the contrary. [**] these [**] of Products, [**]. 6.3 Detailing. The Parties shall be responsible for performing the Detail Requirements specified in each then-current Marketing Plan. 6.4 Detailing Reports. Each Party shall provide the other Party and the CSC with a report as soon as practicable but in no event later than forty-five (45) days following the end of each Quarter during the Co-Promotion Term setting forth, in such detail and form as the Parties shall agree, the number of Details made by such Party's Sales Representatives of Products in the 40 US Territory during such Quarter (each, a "Detailing Report"), provided, however, that the Detailing Report for the fourth such Quarter in each Year shall be cumulative and reflect the number of Details made by such Party's respective Sales Representatives in the US Territory during such Year. Eyetech covenants that it shall develop an internal system for the purpose of reporting the number of Details of its Sales Representatives, and that it shall have such system implemented by the time it begins Detailing the Products. 6.5 Detail Shortfalls. (a) In the event that either Party fails to perform (such Party, a "Shortfall Party") at least [**] percent ([**]%) of its Detail Requirement in any Year as reported pursuant to Section 6.4 or verified pursuant to Section 9.3, the Shortfall Party shall pay to the other Party as liquidated damages an amount equal to the Detail Cost (as hereinafter defined), multiplied by the applicable factor set forth below (the "Shortfall Factor") multiplied by the total number of Details in the shortfall (the Detail Cost, multiplied by the number of Details in the shortfall, multiplied by the Shortfall Factor, the "Detail Shortfall Payment Amount"), on an incremental basis as set forth below: 41
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shortfall Detail Shortfall Level Factor - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For such portion of shortfall which is: > or = [**]% but < [**]% of detail [**] requirement - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- for such portion of shortfall which is: > or = [**]% but < [**]% of detail [**] requirement - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- for such portion of shortfall which is: < [**]% of detail requirement [**] - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For purposes of this Section 6.5, "Detail Cost" means $[**]. If a Party wishes to verify the Details performed by the other Party in any Year, such Party shall give notice to the other Party that the notifying Party wishes to verify Details pursuant to Section 9.3 within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the other Party's last Detailing Report set forth in Section 6.4 for such Year. (b) With respect to any Year in which only one of the Parties was a Shortfall Party, the Shortfall Party shall, within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the end of such Year (or within thirty (30) days after completion of any verification(s) of Details pursuant to Section 9.3 conducted pursuant to Section 6.5(a) for such Year, if such verification(s) have not been completed within ninety (90) days after the end of such Year), pay the Detail Shortfall Payment Amount to the other Party. (c) With respect to any Year in which both Parties are Shortfall Parties, the Party having performed the highest percentage of its Detail Requirement in such Year (the "Highest Performing Party") shall be deemed not to be a Shortfall Party and the percentage of such Party's Detail Requirement performed by such Party shall be deemed to equal [**] percent ([**]%) of that Party's Detail Requirement in such Year. The other Party shall continue to be required to pay a Detail Shortfall Payment Amount in accordance with Section 6.5(b); provided, however, such Detail Shortfall Payment Amount to be paid by such other Party shall be reduced 42 by (i) multiplying such other Party's Detail Requirement for such Year by the percentage of the Highest Performing Party's Detail Requirement actually performed by the Highest Performing Party during such Year and (ii) recalculating such other Party's Detail Shortfall Payment Amount using the reduced Detail Requirement for such other Party calculated in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (i). (d) In the event that either Party fails to perform at least [**] percent ([**]%) of its aggregate Detail Requirement (such Party, the "Detail Breaching Party") for [**] during the Co-Promotion Term (a "Detail Shortfall Period"), then: (i) If Pfizer is the Detail Breaching Party, Eyetech shall have the right, in addition to the remedies provided for in Sections 6.5(b) and 6.5(c) above, exercisable upon notice to Pfizer given within ninety (90) days after the end of such Detail Shortfall Period (or within thirty (30) days after completion of any verification of Pfizer's Details pursuant to Section 9.3 conducted at Eyetech's request pursuant to Section 6.5(a) for such Detail Shortfall Period, if such verification has not been completed within sixty (60) days after the end of such Detail Shortfall Period), such notice to be effective ninety (90) days after the date of such notice to Pfizer (or thirty (30) days after completion of any verification of Pfizer's Details for such Detail Shortfall Period requested by Eyetech, if later), to terminate this Agreement; and (ii) If Eyetech is the Detail Breaching Party, Pfizer shall have the right, in addition to the remedies provided for in Sections 6.5(b) and 6.5(c) above, exercisable upon notice to Eyetech given within ninety (90) days after the end of such Detail Shortfall Period (or within thirty (30) days after completion of any verification of Eyetech's Details pursuant to Section 9.3 conducted at Pfizer's request pursuant to Section 6.5(a) for such Detail Shortfall Period, if such verification has not been completed within sixty (60) days after the end of such 43 Detail Shortfall Period), such notice to be effective ninety (90) days after the date of such notice to Eyetech (or thirty (30) days after completion of any verification of Eyetech's Details for such Detail Shortfall Period requested by Pfizer, if later), to elect to adjust, for the balance of the Co-Promotion Term, the percentage of Net Sales that Pfizer would be entitled to receive under Section 8.6(a), and the percentage of costs and expenses included in the calculation of net payment amounts in Section 8.6(c) for which Pfizer would be responsible would be increased from [**] percent ([**]%) to [**] percent ([**]%), Eyetech's corresponding percentage would be decreased from [**]percent ([**]%) to [**] percent ([**]%) and Eyetech would not have any further Detailing responsibilities under this Agreement (the "Elective Remedy"); and (iii) The Parties understand and agree that the Detail Shortfall Payment Amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty and that such sum represents a genuine pre-estimate of the loss the Parties believe would be suffered as a result of Detail shortfalls. In the event of any Detail shortfall under Section 6.5, the remedies and compensation as provided herein shall govern, and neither Party shall have any further claim for breach of this Agreement on account of such Detail shortfall; provided that nothing in this sentence shall preclude either Party from using a Detail shortfall as a basis for termination of this Agreement for breach by the other Party of such other Party's obligations under Section 6.1; and provided that a failure to give or election not to give a notice by a Party prior to a deadline set forth in Section 6.5(d)(i) or 6.5(d)(ii) with respect to a Detail shortfall during any Detail Shortfall Period shall not constitute a waiver by such Party with respect to the remedies and compensation under this Section 6.5 with respect to a Detail shortfall during any subsequent Detail Shortfall Period. 6.6 Sales Force Responsibilities. Each Party shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in providing the personnel necessary to provide the services to be 44 performed by it as described in this Article 6. During the Co-Promotion Term, Pfizer shall, in a manner determined at Pfizer's sole reasonable discretion, (a) maintain and support a professional sales force in the US Territory; and (b) ensure that sales of the Product will constitute a factor in the variable compensation of Pfizer's Sales Representatives. 6.7 Product Information.

[**] shall be responsible for day-to-day management of such Fill and Finish Services Supplier on behalf of the Parties. (c) The MSC shall not take any action or direct Eyetech to take any action that would result in a breach of any agreement set forth on Exhibit 6.12(a), or of any agreement between Eyetech and an API Bulk Drug Substance Supplier or between Eyetech and a Fill and Finish Services Supplier, including without limitation any minimum purchase obligation or non-cancelable order obligation, entered into by Eyetech and approved by the MSC. 46 (d) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.8 and 6.12(c), the MSC may decide to have Pfizer (i) enter into agreement(s) with API Bulk Drug Substance Supplier(s) and/or Fill and Finish Services Supplier(s) and/or (ii) supply active pharmaceutical ingredient and/or fill and finish services for the Products, in either case to replace the agreement(s) referred to in Sections 6.12(a) and/or 6.12(b) or to provide a second source of supply for active pharmaceutical ingredient and/or fill and finish services for the Products; provided that the terms and conditions of any such agreements or arrangements involving Pfizer shall be subject to Eyetech's prior approval and, if such agreements or arrangements involving Pfizer relate to the supply of active pharmaceutical ingredient and/or fill and finish services for the Products in the US Territory, such agreements or arrangements shall be entered into pursuant to agreements between Eyetech and Pfizer for such supply on terms to be mutually agreed by the Parties; provided further that any such agreements or arrangements shall be structured so that Eyetech acquires and maintains title to all inventory of Products supplied for sale in the US Territory. From and after such time, if any, as responsibility for manufacturing the Products has been transitioned to Pfizer, Pfizer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to manufacture and supply sufficient quantities of the Products to enable Eyetech to respond on a timely basis to all customer demand for Product in the US Territory. (e) During any period in which Eyetech is the contracting Party with API Bulk Drug Substance Supplier(s), Eyetech shall supply active pharmaceutical ingredient for the Products to be sold by Pfizer in the ROW Territory in accordance with terms and conditions to be mutually agreed by the Parties, including resale pricing from Eyetech to Pfizer equal to Eyetech's Manufacturing Costs incurred in providing such supply. Such terms and conditions shall provide for an equitable allocation of supply between the US Territory and the ROW 47 Territory in the event that the supply of active pharmaceutical ingredient for the Products at any time is not sufficient to meet worldwide demand, such allocation to be based on the orders placed by the Parties during the six-month period preceding the shortfall in supply or, if sales have not been made in both the US Territory and the ROW Territory during such preceding six-month period, on the Parties' reasonable sales forecasts for the period affected by such shortfall. In addition, such terms and conditions shall impose on Pfizer all of Eyetech's obligations to the API Bulk Drug Substance Supplier(s) with respect to the active pharmaceutical bulk drug substance so supplied by Eyetech to Pfizer for the ROW Territory, shall be structured so that Eyetech shall have no obligations to such API Bulk Drug Substance Supplier(s) with respect to the active pharmaceutical bulk drug substance so supplied by Eyetech to Pfizer for the ROW Territory greater than Pfizer's obligations to Eyetech with respect to the active pharmaceutical bulk drug substance so supplied by Eyetech to Pfizer for the ROW Territory, and shall not require Eyetech to give any warranties or otherwise assume any liability for the performance of the API Bulk Drug Substance Supplier(s) or for any active pharmaceutical ingredient bulk drug substance so supplied by Eyetech to Pfizer. (f) Following the Effective Date, Eyetech shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each Quarter commencing prior to the first Launch of a Product in the US Territory in which Eyetech anticipates incurring Manufacturing Costs for pre-Launch inventory of Products intended for sale in the US Territory, prepare and deliver to Pfizer a statement of such Manufacturing Costs (the "Manufacturing Costs Statement") projected to be incurred by Eyetech during such Quarter. Within fifteen (15) days after Eyetech's delivery of such statement of projected pre-Launch inventory Manufacturing Costs, Pfizer shall pay Eyetech [**] percent ([**]%) of such projected Manufacturing Costs for inventory, projected for sale in 48 the US Territory if the first Launch of a Product is expected to occur in the US Territory and no substantially concurrent Launch of a Product in the ROW Territory is expected. Each Manufacturing Costs Statement shall contain an adjustment as necessary to reflect any variance between the projected Manufacturing Costs included by Eyetech in prior Manufacturing Cost Statements and Eyetech's actual Manufacturing Costs for pre-Launch inventory of Products projected for sale in the US Territory. For the avoidance of doubt, Eyetech shall not have any financial responsibility for Manufacturing Costs for any inventory of Products projected for sale in the ROW Territory, and Pfizer shall be solely responsible for making all necessary payments for any such inventory. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.12(f), the first Quarter for which the Parties shall provide the statements of projected pre-Launch inventory Manufacturing Costs shall be the second Quarter of 2003, and adjustments shall be included the Parties' first statements of such projected Manufacturing Costs for any pre-Launch inventory Manufacturing Costs incurred by the Parties between the Execution Date and the end of the first Quarter of 2003 as if such Manufacturing Costs were variances over previously projected pre-Launch inventory Manufacturing Costs. (g) In the event an API Bulk Drug Substance Supplier or Fill and Finish Services Supplier requires that Eyetech pay for capital expenditures required for the manufacture of the Products other than as part of the per-unit purchase price of the Products, Pfizer shall pay [**] percent ([**]%) of such expenditures and Eyetech shall pay [**] percent ([**]%) of such expenditures; provided that any agreement obligating Eyetech to pay for such capital expenditures shall be subject to the approval of the MSC as set forth in Sections 6.12(a) and 6.12(b).

Such accountants shall not reveal to the party seeking verification the details of its review, except insofar as is necessary to describe the underpayment, overbilling or level of Details. Any dispute arising out of any audit conducted pursuant to this Section 9.2 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 15, and either party may submit such dispute to such binding arbitration. 9.3 Sales Force Efforts.

(b) In the Territory, the Products shall be promoted and sold solely under the MACUGEN Trademark and shall use a trade dress mutually agreed by the Parties that includes Pfizer's and Eyetech's logos; provided that, on a country-by-country basis in the ROW Territory, the Parties may jointly agree that Pfizer shall promote and sell the Products in the ROW Territory under Trademarks other than the MACUGEN Trademark in accordance with Section 10.1(e). In the Territory, subject to the requirements of Law, Eyetech and Pfizer shall be identified and given equal exposure and prominence on all Product package inserts, trade packages, packaging, samples, and promotional materials; provided that Eyetech acknowledges that in the ROW Territory such identification of Eyetech shall be as the licensor or developer of the Products; and provided, further, that if Eyetech or Pfizer cannot be given equal exposure and prominence on all Product package inserts, trade packages, packaging, samples, and promotional materials in the Territory as a result of the requirements of Law, then Eyetech or Pfizer, as the case may be, shall be given as close to equal exposure and prominence as possible, consistent with applicable Law.

Except as contemplated herein, Pfizer shall have no rights in the Trademark(s) in the Territory or to the Eyetech name or logo, or the goodwill pertaining thereto. It is the Parties' intention to utilize a single trademark for the Product throughout the Territory. Accordingly, Pfizer agrees to use the MACUGEN Trademark for the Products in the ROW Territory, provided, however, if any Governmental Authority in the EMEA or Japan fails to approve MACUGEN as the trademark for the Product, or if either Party reasonably determines that use of the MACUGEN Trademark may violate the rights of any third party in the ROW Territory, then the Parties shall jointly select an alternative Trademark for the Product in the ROW Territory. In either event, Eyetech shall be solely responsible for registering and 59 maintaining such alternative Trademark in the ROW Territory and shall be the owner thereof.

In respect of the defense and infringement of the Trademark(s) in the ROW Territory, as between Pfizer and Eyetech, Pfizer shall have the first right, at its sole cost and expense, to bring suit and to take action against such infringer or challenger, in which case Pfizer shall control the prosecution or defense 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.

If such other Party provides such notice and the Party having the initial right fails to initiate a suit or take such 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. The proceeds of any recovery, court award or settlement of such action shall 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. 10.2 Copyrights and Proprietary Programs. Eyetech shall own all copyrights relating to Promotional Materials developed for use in the US Territory for the Products. Pfizer and Eyetech shall each retain all rights including, without limitation, copyrights and trademarks, to all of their respective existing programs and materials in all formats (print, video, audio, digital, computer, etc.) regarding sales training, patient education and disease management programs owned by each of them as of the Execution Date, as well as any modifications each may develop 61 in the future which are not specific to the Product.

Pfizer hereby assigns to Eyetech all rights, title and interests, including all intellectual property rights, in and to such ideas, inventions, Know-How, writings, data and technical information as necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section 10.3. 10.4 Third Party Agreements. Subject to Pfizer's performance of its material obligations under this Agreement and under the License Agreement with respect to its exercise of rights sublicensed to Pfizer by Eyetech and with respect to third party royalties payable by Pfizer, Eyetech covenants and agrees with Pfizer that, except where a failure by Eyetech to comply with the following would not have a material adverse effect on the Co-Promotion of the Products, Eyetech: (a) shall not execute any amendment, modification or waiver of any of the 62 licenses and agreements listed on Exhibit 10.4 ("Third Party Agreements") without the prior written consent of Pfizer, (b) shall not make any election or exercise any right or option (or omit to take any action) that would terminate or relinquish in whole or in part any Third Party Agreement, (c) shall comply with all of its obligations under the Third Party Agreements in all material respects, (d) shall take such reasonable actions as shall be necessary to keep in full force and effect the Third Party Agreements, and (e) shall give prompt notice to Pfizer, together with a summary of outstanding issues if Pfizer so requests and subject to any obligations of confidentiality owed by Eyetech to the other parties to such Third Party Agreements, of any actual or alleged defaults, breaches, violations, proposed amendments or proposed modifications of, or any proposed waivers under, any of the Third Party Agreements by any of the parties to the Third Party Agreements.

(a) A Party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article 12 (an "Indemnified Party") shall give prompt notice to the Party from whom such indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim (which in no event includes any claims by any Pfizer Parties or any Eyetech Parties) in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, shall give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, and shall not make any admission concerning such Third Party Claim, unless such admission is required by applicable 73 Law or legal process, including in response to questions presented in depositions or interrogatories. Any admission made by the Indemnified Party, except for an admission required by applicable Law or legal process, or the failure to give such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder only to the extent that the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such Third Party Claim is prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement or assertion of a Third Party Claim, to assume and conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim within such thirty (30) day period. Subject to the initial and continuing satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Article 12, the Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such Third Party Claim, including settlement negotiations and any legal proceedings. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 12.9, the Indemnified Party may defend the Third Party Claim. If both Parties are Indemnifying Parties pursuant to co-indemnification obligations under Section 12.6 with respect to the same Third Party Claim, the Parties shall determine by mutual agreement, within twenty (20) days following their receipt of notice of commencement or assertion of such Third Party Claim (or such lesser period of time as may be required to properly respond to such claim), which Party shall assume the lead role in the defense thereof. Should the Parties be unable to mutually agree on which Party shall assume the lead role in the defense of such Third Party Claim, both Parties shall be entitled to participate in such defense through counsel of their respective choosing; provided that in the case of any Third Party Claim with respect to which (i) both Parties are Indemnifying Parties pursuant to co- 74 indemnification obligations under Section 12.6(b) and (ii) more than [**] percent ([**]%) of the Products involved in the infringement or misappropriation alleged in such Third Party Claim were sold or intended for sale in the ROW Territory, Pfizer may defend the Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 12.9 (without giving effect to the immediately preceding sentence), but may not enter into any settlement or consent to any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without Eyetech's prior written consent if either (x) such settlement or judgment would, taking into account the indemnification provisions of Section 12.6(b), impose more than $[**] in liability on Eyetech or (y) such settlement or judgment would, taking into account the indemnification provisions of Section 12.6(b), impose more monetary liability on Eyetech than on Pfizer or include non-monetary conditions with respect to Eyetech. (b) The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense (subject to the immediately succeeding sentence), the defense of any Third Party Claim which the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any litigation costs or expenses incurred, without its consent, by the Indemnified Party where the action or proceeding is under the control of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. (c) The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief from the Indemnified Party. No Party shall, 75 without the prior written consent of the other Party, enter into any compromise or settlement which commits the other Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action. (d) Whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, all the Parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. (e) The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all rights and remedies available in order to minimize the Losses for which indemnification is provided to the Indemnified Party under this Article 12. Any indemnification hereunder shall be made net of any insurance proceeds recovered by the Indemnified Party from unaffiliated third parties; provided, however, that if, following the payment to the Indemnified Party of any amount under this Article 12, such Indemnified Party recovers any such insurance proceeds in respect of the claim for which such indemnification payment was made, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds (but not exceeding the amount of such indemnification payment) to the Indemnifying Party. (f) The Parties agree and acknowledge that the provisions of this Article 12 represent the Indemnified Party's exclusive recourse with respect to any Losses for which indemnification is provided to the Indemnified Party under this Article 12. 76 ARTICLE 13 TERM AND TERMINATION 13.1 Term.

Upon any termination of this Agreement, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party all written Confidential Information, and all copies thereof, of such other Party and Pfizer shall have no further right with respect to, and shall cease all activities related to Co-Promotion of the Products. ARTICLE 14 NON-COMPETITION; DETAILING SERVICES AGREEMENT 14.1 Non-Competition. During the Co-Promotion Term and during the Term (as defined in the License Agreement), neither Pfizer nor Eyetech nor any of their Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, manufacture commercial quantities of, or market, sell, detail or promote, any Competing Product in the Territory (excluding the EU, as defined in the License Agreement), except for the Products as provided in this Agreement and in the License 84 Agreement. If (a) either Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2, 13.4 or 13.5 of this Agreement or (b) Pfizer terminates the License Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 of the License Agreement, then the prohibition set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall, in the case of a termination described in clause (a) of this sentence, be extended with respect to the other Party and its Affiliates through a period immediately following the effective date of such termination of: (i) [**], if such termination occurs [**], (ii) [**], if such termination occurs [**], or (iii) [**], if such termination occurs [**], and, in the case of a termination described in clause (b) of this sentence, be extended with respect to Pfizer and its Affiliates through a period immediately following the effective date of such termination of: (i) [**], if such termination occurs [**], (ii) [**], if such termination occurs [**], or (iii) [**], if such termination occurs [**]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Eyetech and its Affiliates, either directly or in collaboration with third parties, shall be entitled to commercialize products that contain or are based on the Compound (as defined in the License Agreement) for use outside the Field ("POF"), provided such products are sold under product trademarks other than the Trademark(s) and are: (a) in a different dosage strength; (b) in a different formulation; or (c) with a different delivery system; in each case not intended or developed for use in the Field. Eyetech and its Affiliates shall not conduct clinical trials or marketing studies with respect to such POF to support use of such POF in the Field, and Eyetech and its Affiliates shall require any third party collaborator to comply 85 with this undertaking with respect to any POF. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2, any breach of this Section 14.1 shall entitle the non-breaching Party to terminate this Agreement and the Other Product-Related Agreements pursuant to Section 13.5. 14.2 Acquisitions Involving Competing Products. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.1 above, if during the Co-Promotion Term Pfizer or Eyetech or any of their respective Affiliates acquires or agrees to acquire a Competing Product in the Territory through acquisition of or merger with a company or entity, or is acquired or agrees to be acquired by a company or entity that owns a Competing Product in the Territory, Pfizer or Eyetech, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days from the date of public announcement of the acquisition or merger to notify the other Party as to whether Pfizer or Eyetech or the acquiring company or entity, as applicable, intends to divest its interest in such Competing Product. In the event that Pfizer or Eyetech or the acquiring company or entity, as applicable, elects to divest its interest in such Competing Product, such Party or the acquiring company or entity shall use reasonable efforts to identify a third party purchaser to whom such Party or the acquiring company or entity 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. If Pfizer or Eyetech or the acquiring company or entity, as applicable, elects not to divest its interest in such Competing Product or fails to divest its interest in such Competing Product within [**] after the closing of the transaction for which Pfizer or Eyetech, as applicable, has provided the other Party with notice, then the other Party shall have the option, upon written notice to Pfizer or Eyetech, as applicable, given no later than ninety (90) days after the earlier of: (i) Pfizer's or Eyetech's written notice, as applicable, of its election not to divest such Competing Product; and (ii) the end of such [**] period described above, to terminate this Agreement and the Other Product- 86 Related Agreements pursuant to Section 14.1, treating such election not to divest or failure to divest such Competing Product as a breach of Section 14.1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.1 and this Section 14.2, however, neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Other Product-Related Agreements based on the other Party's or its Affiliate's or acquiring company's or entity's failure to divest its interest in a Competing Product that is sold only in the EU (as defined in the License Agreement). 14.3 Detailing Services Agreement; Additional Agreements. (a) The Detailing Services Agreement shall become effective only upon the completion of the Pharmacia Merger. (b) The Parties shall in good faith undertake to identify an additional Pfizer product for ophthalmic use and potential sale to retinal specialists, in addition to the products covered by the Detailing Services Agreement (an "Additional Pfizer Product"). If the Parties are able to identify and mutually agree upon such Additional Pfizer Product, the Parties will attempt to negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of an agreement to allow Eyetech to detail, co-develop or license such Additional Pfizer Product. (c) If for any reason (i) the Pharmacia Merger Agreement is terminated or (ii) Pfizer determines that the Pharmacia Merger cannot be closed, then, in either event, Pfizer and Eyetech will undertake in good faith to identify a Pfizer product for ophthalmic use and sale to retinal specialists to substitute for the products covered by the Detailing Services Agreement (a "Substitute Product"). If the Parties are able to identify and mutually agree upon such Substitute Product, the Parties will attempt to negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of an agreement to allow Eyetech to detail, co-develop or license such Substitute Product. 87 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party is obligated to enter into any agreement with the other pursuant to subsections 14.3(b) or 14.3(c). Accordingly, if the Parties are unable to enter into an agreement respecting an Additional Pfizer Product or Substitute Product, Eyetech shall have no rights to any such product, and Pfizer shall have no obligations to Eyetech with respect to any such product or resulting from the Parties' inability to enter into an agreement pursuant to subsections 14.3(b) or 14.3(c).

(d) The arbitrator shall use his or her best efforts to rule on each disputed issue within thirty (30) days after the completion of the hearings described in Section 15.1(c).

Any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by a court in accordance with Section 17.2. 15.2 No Limitation.

Should any Party seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, then for purposes of determining whether to grant such temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, the dispute underlying the request for such temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction may be heard by a court in accordance with Section 17.2. 89 ARTICLE 16 HSR MATTERS 16.1 HSR Filings. Each of Eyetech and Pfizer shall as promptly as possible and not later than January 22, 2003 file with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ, any HSR Filing required of it under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

Waiver by a Party of a breach hereunder by the other Party shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other provision. No delay or omission by a Party to exercise or avail itself of any right, power or privilege that it has or may have hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any right, power or privilege by such Party.

This Agreement (including Exhibits), together with the Other Product-Related Agreements, contains the complete understanding of the Parties with respect to the Parties' joint development and commercialization of Products and supersedes all prior understandings and writings relating to such subject matter. The Parties understand and agree that this Agreement and the License Agreement are considered to be a single integrated agreement and contain intellectual property rights and licenses relating to the Products for which Pfizer has bargained and paid consideration. If any applicable court of competent jurisdiction determines this Agreement and/or the License Agreement to be executory in nature, such Transaction Agreements shall be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to "intellectual property" as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. 17.6 Headings. Headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Agreement. 17.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction because it is invalid or conflicts with any law of any 93 relevant jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. In such event, the Parties shall negotiate a substitute provision that, to the extent possible, accomplishes the original business purpose. 17.8 Registration and Filing of the Agreement. To the extent, if any, that a Party concludes in good faith that it is required to file or register this Agreement or a notification thereof with any Governmental Authority, including without limitation the US Securities and Exchange Commission, or the US Federal Trade Commission, in accordance with applicable Laws, such Party may do so. The other Party shall cooperate in such filing or notification and shall execute all documents reasonably required in connection therewith. In such situation, the Parties will request confidential treatment of sensitive provisions of the Agreement, to the extent permitted by Law. The Parties shall promptly inform each other as to the activities or inquiries of any such Governmental Authority relating to this Agreement, and shall cooperate to respond to any request for further information therefrom. 17.9 Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, including without limitation in Section 17.11, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either Party without the prior consent of the other Party, except assignment, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate of the assigning Party so long as such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The assigning Party shall remain primarily liable hereunder notwithstanding any such assignment. Any attempted assignment in violation hereof shall be void. 17.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. 94 17.11 Divestiture by Pfizer. (a) If (i) Pfizer enters into a definitive agreement to acquire or merge with another company (the "Target") involving a purchase price in excess of $[**] (which amount shall be increased on January 1 of each year to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index on each such January 1 over the level of the Consumer Price Index on January 1, 2003), (ii) Pfizer reasonably believes that a "Divestiture Requirement" exists, namely that the Governmental Authorities with responsibility for antitrust or competition review and approval of such acquisition or merger for either the United States or the EU, as defined in the License Agreement (each an "Antitrust Authority" and, together, the "Antitrust Authorities") will not grant the requisite clearance or approval for the consummation of the acquisition or merger unless (x) Pfizer assigns, sublicenses or otherwise transfers (any such assignment, sublicense or transfer, a "Divestiture Transaction") Pfizer's rights and obligations under this Agreement or the License Agreement to a non-Affiliate third party or (y) the Target divests the business, product line or agreement(s) of the Target (the "Target's Competitive Business") giving rise to the Divestiture Requirement, (iii) Pfizer has used commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any requirement of having to enter into a Divestiture Transaction, including without limitation if reasonably practicable in Pfizer's good faith business judgment by undertaking, or causing the Target to undertake, to the relevant Antitrust Authorities to divest the Target's Competitive Business giving rise to the antitrust or competition concern and (iv) the Target's Competitive Business comprised less than [**] percent ([**]%) of the Target's revenues for the Target's last fiscal year and less than [**] percent ([**]%) of the Target's fair market value (as determined by Pfizer's Board of Directors in good faith based on written advice and analysis of a nationally recognized investment bank), Pfizer shall so notify Eyetech (a "Notice of Divestiture"), which Notice of Divestiture shall include a detailed description of the Divestiture Requirement, a certification to 95 Eyetech by Pfizer of the accuracy of such description and a copy of the written advice and analysis of the investment bank. Pfizer may not give more than one Notice of Divestiture in any twenty-four (24) month period. 17.11 (b) If Pfizer gives a Notice of Divestiture, Eyetech may, at its option (the "Acquisition Option"), elect to acquire Pfizer's rights under this Agreement and the License Agreement by giving Pfizer notice of such election (a "Preliminary Acquisition Notice") at any time within ten (10) Business Days following the date of the Notice of Divestiture.

Under terms of the deal, which is subject to government approval, Pfizer will make initial payments of $100 million, with the potential for an additional $195 million in milestone payments based on worldwide regulatory submission and approvals. Eyetech also has the potential to receive up to an additional $450 million in milestone payments, which are contingent upon successful commercialization of Macugen(TM) and based on attainment of agreed-upon sales levels. Pfizer will also fund the majority of the ongoing development costs for both the AMD and DME indications. Further, if approved, Macugen(TM) will be co-promoted by Eyetech and Pfizer in the United States where Eyetech will have an ophthalmology sales force and record sales. Outside of the United States, Pfizer will market the product exclusively under a royalty-bearing license. Additional payments are subject to worldwide Macugen(TM) sales. Further terms of the deal were not disclosed. This is a landmark accomplishment for a young biotechnology company. We are excited to partner with the world's leading pharmaceutical company to bring a potentially innovative 116 therapy to so many patients who are at risk of losing their sight," said Dr. David Guyer, Eyetech Pharmaceuticals' co-founder and chief executive officer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Macugen(TM) "fast-track" status for the treatment of exudative, or "wet" form of AMD as well as for DME because of the product's expected potential to fulfill a significant unmet medical need. "We are very pleased to partner with Eyetech on what we believe will be a breakthrough treatment for a devastating medical condition," said Pfizer President Karen Katen. "As the world's population ages, there will be an increasing number of people at risk for macular degeneration." Administered by intravitreal injection, Macugen(TM) is an aptamer that selectively binds to and neutralizes Vascular Endothelial Risk Factor (VEGF). In early clinical studies, Macugen(TM) was shown to inhibit abnormal blood vessel growth and stabilize and/or reverse blood vessel leakage in the back of the eye resulting in improved vision by three lines or more on standard eye charts in 26 percent of patients. Eyetech's Phase III development program for wet AMD involves nearly 1,200 patients at 117 investigational sites in the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Israel and Australia, the largest clinical development program of its kind. Macugen(TM) is being developed as monotherapy as well as in combination with photodynamic therapy. WET AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (AMD) The leading cause of irreversible vision loss among Americans over the age of 55, AMD occurs in two different forms: dry AMD and wet AMD. The wet form accounts for approximately 200,000 new cases annually, with a prevalence of 1.2 million cases in the United States alone. Wet AMD is characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels into the area beneath the retina. This process, known as angiogenesis or neovascularization, results in fragile blood vessels that leak fluid and blood into the macula, the center portion of the retina. This leakage damages the area and results in a rapid loss of central vision, which is critical for tasks such as reading, driving, watching television and recognizing faces. 117 Laser photocoagulation and photodynamic therapy are the only current treatments for certain types of patients. DIABETIC MACULAR EDEMA (DME) DME affects roughly 135,000 Americans with diabetes each year and is the leading cause of blindness in adults under the age of 55. The decreased vision that characterizes DME results from fluid and lipids leaking from retinal blood vessels Eyetech Pharmaceuticals (www.eyetk.com) is dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of novel therapeutics and delivery systems to combat the vision loss associated with ophthalmic diseases. Founded in 2000, the privately-held, New York City-based company is focused on meeting the medical needs of patients with diseases that affect the back of the eye. Its investors include partners and affiliates of JP Morgan, BB Biotech, MPM Capital, Alta Partners, Schroder Ventures, Life Sciences and International BioTechnology Trust plc, and Merrill Lynch KECALP. Pfizer Inc discovers, develops, manufactures and markets leading prescription medicines, for humans and animals, and many of the world's best-known consumer brands.
