Eyetech shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Raylo, its Affiliates and their subcontractors, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) arising out of or resulting from claims, demands, or actions by third parties to the extent such liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses arise from: (1) any breach of Eyetech's representations and warranties set forth in Section 5; or 14 (2) personal injury (including death) or property damage relating to or arising out of any manufacture, use, distribution or sale of the Eyetech Product by Eyetech, its Affiliates or its sublicensees; except, in each case, to the extent that Raylo is indemnifying Eyetech in accordance with Section 7.1(a)(2) above. 7.2 Procedure for Indemnification. In the event that any person (an "Indemnified Party") entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) is seeking such indemnification, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the "Indemnitor") in writing of the claim (and in reasonable detail); provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification to be provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnitor shall manage and control, at its sole expense, the defense of the claim and its settlement. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor's cost, with reasonable assistance and relevant information to support the defense of any such claim. The Indemnitor shall not accept any settlement which imposes liability not covered by this indemnification or impose any obligation on, or otherwise adversely affect, the Indemnified Party or other Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party or other Party, as applicable. Nothing contained in this Section 7.2 shall oblige the Indemnified Party to take any action or steps in its own name in defending any claim, action or proceedings; however, the Indemnified Party, at is option and expense, may review and comment on the defense of any claim through its own counsel; provided that the Indemnitor shall be responsible for the fees and costs of the Indemnified Party's counsel if: (1) the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (2) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor; or (3) the named parties to any such proceeding (including the impleaded parties) include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party, and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate in the opinion of the Indemnified Party's counsel due to actual or potential differing interests between them; in any such case, one (1) firm of attorneys separate from the Indemnitor's counsel may be retained to represent the Indemnified Party at the Indemnitor's expense. As the Parties intend complete indemnification, all costs and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with enforcement of Sections 7.1(a) or (b) shall also be reimbursed by the Indemnitor. 7.3 Insurance. Raylo shall obtain and maintain during the term of this Agreement: (1) comprehensive general liability insurance on a claims made basis, with coverage limits of not less than US$5 million per claim and US$20 million aggregate and (2) property insurance which includes business interruption coverage. Raylo shall name Eyetech as an additional insured on its policies. The minimum level of insurance set forth herein shall not be construed to create a limit on Raylo's liability hereunder. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Raylo shall furnish to Eyetech a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage. Each such certificate of insurance, as well as any certificates evidencing new or modified coverages of Raylo, shall include a provision whereby thirty (30) days written notice must be received by Eyetech prior to coverage modification, and ten (10) days written notice must be received by Eyetech prior to 15 coverage cancellation, by either Raylo or the insurer. In addition, Raylo shall promptly notify Eyetech of any cancellation or modification of such insurance coverage and of any new or modified coverage. In the case of a modification or cancellation of such coverage, Raylo shall promptly provide Eyetech with a new certificate of insurance evidencing that Raylo's coverage meets the requirements in the first sentence of this Section 7.3. 8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. 8.1 EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO (i) RAYLO BREACHING ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 10 HEREOF, AND (ii) EYETECH'S COSTS OF PROCURING ALTERNATE SUPPLY OF API IF RAYLO FAILS TO MEET ITS OBLIGATIONS TO SUPPLY API HEREUNDER, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, MULTIPLE OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF USE DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF THE MANUFACTURE, SALE, SUPPLYING OR FAILURE OR DELAY IN SUPPLYING OF THE API OR EYETECH PRODUCT OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED UPON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES. 8.2 NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF RAYLO UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 7. 9. TERMINATION. 9.1 Initial Term; Extensions. This Agreement shall take effect as of the Effective Date and shall, unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Section 9, remain in effect until November 11, 2008 (the "Initial Term"). Upon written notice from Eyetech to Raylo on or before six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, Eyetech shall have the right to extend the term of this Agreement for a period of up to three (3) years, as determined by Eyetech in its discretion. Eyetech shall specify the number of years for such extension in the notice provided to Raylo under this Section 9.1. Upon written notice to Raylo not later than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the term as extended by Eyetech pursuant to this Section 9.1, Eyetech shall have the further right to extend of the term of this Agreement for an additional period of up to three (3) years. Eyetech shall specify the number of years for such extension in the notice provided to Raylo under this Section 9.1. 9.2 Termination by Eyetech. (a) Eyetech Product Failure. Eyetech shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately, upon written notice, if Eyetech elects to abandon its efforts to commercialize the Eyetech Product. 16 (b) Failure to Obtain Licenses to Third Party Patent Rights. Eyetech shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately, upon written notice, if Raylo has not obtained all licenses to third party Patent Rights necessary to enable Eyetech to use and offer for sale the API in, and to import the API into, the United States and any other country in which the Amgen Patents [**] are in force. (c) Nonoccurrence of the LOU Termination Date. Eyetech shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the LOU immediately, upon written notice, if the LOU Termination Date has not occurred on or before January 1, 2005. (d) Regulatory Changes and Infractions. Eyetech shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the (i) United Stated Food and Drug Administration imposes requirements that require a change in the Specifications that, in Eyetech's judgment, Raylo cannot accommodate to Eyetech's reasonable satisfaction or (ii) Raylo is unable to Deliver Eyetech's requirements of API due to violation of any Applicable Legal Requirements. (e) Change in Control of Raylo. In the event that any Person (other than Raylo, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of Raylo, or any corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of Raylo in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of stock of Raylo) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, of securities of Raylo representing greater than 50% of the combined voting power of Raylo's then outstanding securities (a "Change in Control"), Eyetech may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' written notice given to Raylo at any time within six (6) months after such Change in Control. (f) Competitive Pricing. In the event that at any time during the Term after December 31, 2005, a third party other than Pfizer Inc. or an affiliate of Pfizer Inc. is able to manufacture API in accordance with the Specifications and cGMP, in at least the same quantities as those manufactured by Raylo hereunder and at a cost that is less than the price for the API currently charged Eyetech by Raylo, then Raylo shall have [**] days in which to reduce its price for the API to the price to be charged Eyetech by such third party; provided that if the third party with which Eyetech proposes to enter into such lower-cost arrangement would use a higher volume or different process than a 15mM process and Raylo agrees in writing to develop a higher volume or different process in order to achieve the required cost reduction, then Raylo shall have an additional [**] days (i.e., a total of [**] days) in which to reduce its price for the API to the price to be charged Eyetech by such third party. If Raylo fails to lower its prices, Eyetech shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately, upon written notice; provided that orders made by Eyetech prior to such termination would be filled by Raylo, and paid for by Eyetech, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 9.3 Termination for Breach; Insolvency. Either Raylo or Eyetech may terminate this Agreement immediately, without prejudice to any other remedies available 17 to it at law or in equity, by notice in writing to the other upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) If the other Party (the "Breaching Party") materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach is not remedied within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Breaching Party of notice identifying the breach; or (b) If the other Party ceases for any reason to carry on business, dissolves, liquidates, winds up, or files or is petitioned into bankruptcy, liquidation, rehabilitation or dissolution or becomes insolvent or fails generally to pay its debts or obligations or a petition is filed seeking the appointment of or the taking possession by a receiver, custodian, trustee or similar official. 9.4 Effect of Expiration or Termination. Upon the expiration of this Agreement at the end of the Term, or upon the termination of this Agreement by either Party pursuant to this Section 9: (a) Raylo shall promptly: (i) return to Eyetech all relevant records, materials or Eyetech Confidential Information (to the extent legal or regulatory requirements permit), including, without limitation, all manufacturing records relating to the API; (ii) return to Eyetech the Eyetech Materials then in the possession or control of Raylo or its Affiliates; and (iii) discontinue all manufacture of the API; (b) Eyetech shall promptly return to Raylo all Raylo Confidential Information (to the extent legal or regulatory requirements permit); (c) The licenses granted under Section 2.3(a) and (c) shall survive termination and the licenses granted under Section 2.3(b) shall not; (d) At Eyetech's request, and at Eyetech's expense or the expense of Eyetech's designated second or alternative source manufacturer of API, Raylo shall exercise its right under Section 2.02 of the [**] to grant a license on terms [**] designated by Eyetech at any time prior to the first anniversary of the expiration or termination of this Agreement; (e) At Eyetech's request and at Eyetech's expense, Raylo shall provide Eyetech with reasonable assistance in transferring the manufacturing activities covered by this Agreement to a third party contract manufacturer; and (f) At Eyetech's request, Raylo shall sell to Eyetech all (i) inventory of Raw Materials then in Raylo's possession, at Raylo's out-of-pocket costs incurred in the procurement of such Raw Materials, (ii) work-in-process then in Raylo's possession, at a pro rated portion of the Negotiated Per Gram Cost reflecting Raylo's out-of-pocket costs and the work performed by Raylo prior to transfer, and (iii) API then in Raylo's possession, at the Negotiated Per Gram Cost. 9.5 Survival. The expiration or prior termination of this Agreement for whatever reason shall not affect the accrued rights of either Raylo or Eyetech arising 18 under this Agreement and Sections 2.3(a), 2.3(c), 2.3(d), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 shall survive such expiration or termination. 10.
