(c) Third Party Payments. APBI Holdings shall pay when due any and all milestone, royalty and other similar obligations Lilly might be obligated to pay to a Third Party pursuant to an agreement between Lilly and such Third Party covering rights relating to any Product in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in such agreement between Lilly and such Third Party.

APBI Holdings shall keep (and shall require Permitted Sellers to keep) complete and accurate books and records that are necessary to ascertain and verify royalty payments owed to Lilly.

Such audit may cover the two (2) calendar years preceding the date of the request for such audit. Such accountants will keep confidential any information obtained during such audit and will report to Lilly only their conclusions. The cost of such audit will be borne by Lilly; however, if the result of such audit shows that the amount owed to Lilly is [*] percent [*] or more greater than the amount paid, the cost of the audit will be borne by APBI Holdings.

If laws or regulations require the withholding of such taxes, the taxes will be deducted by APBI Holdings from the payment and remitted by APBI Holdings to the proper tax authority, provided that APBI Holdings will furnish Lilly with a copy of the official tax receipt on such withholdings as soon as practicable after such withholding, and give Lilly such assistance as may be reasonably necessary to enable or assist Lilly to claim exemption or take credit therefrom, provided that Lilly reimburses APBI Holdings for any out of pocket expenses incurred by it in providing such assistance. Proof of payment shall be provided to Lilly within sixty (60) days after payment. APBI Holdings will reasonably cooperate with Lilly in pursuing tax refunds, if such refund is appropriate in Lilly’s determination, provided that Lilly reimburses APBI Holdings for any out of pocket expenses incurred by it in providing such assistance.

3.5 Late Payment. Any amounts not paid APBI Holdings when due under this Agreement will be subject to interest from and including the date payment is due through and including the date upon which Lilly has collected the funds in accordance herewith at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of [*] percent [*] plus the prime rate of interest quoted in the Money Rates (or equivalent) section of the Wall Street Journal, calculated daily on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, or (ii) the maximum interest rate allowed by law.

Intellectual Property Matters

5.1 Intellectual Property Maintenance. Licensed Patents shall be filed, prosecuted and maintained worldwide by APBI Holdings or a Third Person patent counsel designated by APBI Holdings . Lilly will waive any conflict of interest that may arise as a result of such counsel representing the interests of both licensee and licensor. APBI Holdings shall have the ultimate responsibility for and control over such matters and shall bear all expenses incurred in filing, prosecuting and maintaining Licensed Patents. APBI Holdings or its designee shall keep Lilly reasonably informed of the filing, prosecution and maintenance of Licensed Patents, and shall furnish to Lilly copies of substantive documents (e.g., office actions, responses, etc.) relevant to any such efforts in advance with ten (10) working days for Lilly to review and provide comments on such documents, and shall use its reasonable efforts to incorporate the comments and suggestions of Lilly, if any. If APBI Holdings decides to allow any Licensed Patent to lapse without entry of the national phase in one or more countries designated in such application, or if APBI Holdings wishes to abandon or allow to lapse any Licensed Patent, APBI Holdings shall notify Lilly in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to taking such action, and if Lilly so requests, APBI Holdings shall transfer and assign to Lilly its rights under the patent or patent application in the country or countries so affected and Lilly may assume control of the same at Lilly’s sole expense. In the event that APBI Holdings receives a restriction requirement from a patent office for a Licensed Patent that restricts out patent claims related only to Compounds, APBI Holdings shall

inform Lilly in a timely manner to enable Lilly to pursue such patent claims independently of APBI Holdings, in which Lilly shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses related thereto.

5.2 Improvements. Each party shall promptly notify the others upon the making conceiving or reducing to practice of any Lilly Improvement or GenuPro Improvement. Lilly shall own all Lilly Improvements and bear all patent prosecution costs related thereto and GenuPro shall own all GenuPro Improvements and bear all patent prosecution costs related thereto.

5.3 No Fiduciary Relationship. The Parties hereby expressly agree and acknowledge that they do not intend to create any type of fiduciary relationship as a result of the intellectual property maintenance provisions set forth in this Agreement. Without limitation or condition of the foregoing, Lilly agrees to provide APBI Holdings’ agent with any and all powers of attorney and other instruments necessary for APBI Holdings to conduct the filing, prosecution or maintenance of the Licensed Patents as provided in this Agreement, and Lilly acknowledges that any such power of attorney will make APBI Holdings’ agent an attorney-in-fact for Lilly with respect to the matter specified in the power of attorney or other instrument but will not create an attorney/client relationship or any other fiduciary relationship between Lilly and APBI Holdings’ agent except to the extent the Parties share a community of interest hereunder and under law.

5.4 Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights. APBI Holdings and Lilly will promptly notify the other of any infringement or suspected infringement of Licensed Patents, that may come to its notice, and will provide the other party with information with respect thereto. If a Third Person infringes any intellectual property rights relating solely to the Licensed Patents, APBI Holdings will have the first right (but not the obligation) to pursue any and all injunctive relief, and any or all compensatory and other remedies and relief (collectively, “Remedies”), against such Third Person. Should APBI Holdings determine not to pursue Remedies with respect to any such intellectual property within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice from Lilly requesting APBI Holdings to do so, then Lilly will have the right (but not the obligation) to pursue Remedies against such Third Person; provided, however, that such written notice from Lilly to APBI Holdings must state that APBI Holdings must take action on the subject matter contained within the notice within sixty (60) days of APBI Holding’s receipt thereof.

5.5 Assistance and Cooperation. If a Party pursues Remedies hereunder, the other Party will use all reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the Party pursuing such Remedies. Each Party will bear its own costs and expenses relating to such pursuit. Any damages or other amounts collected will be distributed, first, to the Party that pursued Remedies to cover its out of pocket costs and expenses; and second, to the other Party to cover its out of pocket costs and expenses, if any, relating to the pursuit of such Remedies; and any remaining amount will be distributed [*] to the Party that pursued the Remedies and [*] to the other Party.

[*]	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

5.6 Settlement of Litigation. No settlement, consent judgment or other final disposition of an action for infringement or validity of patent claims that relate in any material way to Compounds or the use of Dapoxetine in the Lilly Field, whether composition or method claims, may be entered into as to any Licensed Patent without Lilly’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

5.7 Infringement of Third Person Rights. If a Third Person institutes a patent, trade secret or other infringement suit against Lilly, APBI Holdings, GenuPro or a Permitted Seller during the term of this Agreement, alleging that the manufacture, marketing, sale, use or importation of Product (in the case of APBI Holdings, GenuPro or a Permitted Seller) or Compound (in the case of Lilly) infringes one or more patent or other intellectual property rights held by such Third Person (a “Claim”), then APBI Holdings or GenuPro will have the first right (but not the obligation), at its sole expense, to assume direction and control of the defense of such Claims as they relate to Product, and Lilly shall have the first right (but not the obligation) as they relate to Compound. A Claim received by APBI Holdings or GenuPro related to a Compound shall be forwarded immediately to Lilly, and a Claim received by Lilly related to a Product shall be forwarded immediately to GenuPro. In the event APBI Holdings or GenuPro is deemed to be a necessary party for any suit relating to Compound or Lilly requests any assistance from APBI Holdings or GenuPro, Lilly shall pay all out of pocket expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by APBI Holdings or GenuPro. Should either Party determine not to pursue the defense of a particular Claim, such Party shall notify the other Party within five (5) days after notice from the other Party

requesting it to do so, then the requesting Party will have the right (but not the obligation), at its sole expense, to assume direction and control of such claims. Neither Party will have the right to settle or otherwise dispose of any such claim without the consent of other, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Lilly is deemed to be a necessary party for any suit relating to Dapoxetine or APBI Holdings requests any assistance from Lilly, APBI Holdings shall pay all out of pocket expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by Lilly.

5.8 Patent Reporting. Within sixty (60) days after each Calendar Year, APBI Holdings shall provide Lilly with a written report describing the status of all Licensed Patents, including the patent country, patent and application numbers, filing date, issue date, expiration date, and any other relevant information requested by Lilly. Such report shall be mailed to Eli Lilly and Company, Lilly Royalty Administration in Finance, Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46285 with a copy to the General Patent Counsel.

5.9 Patent Cooperation. Each Party hereby agrees:

(a) to make its employees, agents and consultants reasonably available to the other Party at the other Party’s expense to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the Party responsible for prosecuting the Licensed Patents to undertake preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patents;

(b) to cooperate, if necessary and appropriate, with the other Party in gaining patent term extensions wherever applicable to Licensed Patents; and

(c) to endeavor to reasonably coordinate its efforts with the other Party to minimize or avoid interference with the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patents.

5.10 Patent Marking. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Lilly agrees to mark, and to cause any Affiliate or sublicensee to mark, Lilly’s Products (through a marking on containers, packaging or labels, or an Orange Book or like listing) made, sold, or otherwise disposed of by it or them with any notice of patent rights necessary or desirable under Applicable Law to enable patent rights to be enforced to their full extent in any country where such Lilly’s Products are to be sold.

5.11 Trademarks. GenuPro or its licensee shall own all trademarks developed by GenuPro or its licensee used to identify a Product sold by GenuPro.

In addition, Lilly shall have the right to review and comment on a redaction of this Agreement required by the SEC or other agencies and PPD shall use good faith in taking Lilly’s comments into account prior to releasing the redaction to the SEC or such agency.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Party to this Agreement (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, and in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.6011-4(b)(3), the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions, not including confidential financial terms, contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and

Article 8

Indemnification

8.1 Indemnification.

(a) GenuPro’s Obligation. Except to the extent such Damages are due to negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Lilly, or its officers, directors, employees or agents, GenuPro shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lilly and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all Damages resulting from or arising out of:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by GenuPro, APBI Holdings or PPD in this Agreement or any documents executed in connection herewith;

(ii) the handling, possession, development, marketing, distribution, promotion, sale or use of Product by APBI Holdings, GenuPro or a Permitted Seller;

(iii) any product liability or other claim arising out of any allegation of injury caused by any person’s use of Product which Product is distributed or sold by APBI Holdings, GenuPro or any Permitted Seller or their respective agents or contractors;

(iv) the exercise of any right(s) under the Licensed Patents or Lilly Know-How, Lilly Improvements or Lilly Manufacturing Know-How, by APBI Holdings, GenuPro, its Permitted Seller and any other sublicensees; or

(v) APBI Holdings’ or GenuPro’s failure to comply in all material respects with Applicable Laws in connection with the performance of their respective obligations or the exercise of their respective rights hereunder.

(b) Lilly’s Obligation. Except to the extent such Damages are due to negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct by APBI Holdings, GenuPro, or their officers, directors, employees or agents, Lilly shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless APBI Holdings, GenuPro, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all Damages resulting from or arising out of any breach of:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Lilly in this Agreement or any document executed in connection herewith;

(ii) the handling, possession, development, marketing, distribution, promotion, sale or use of Product or Compound by Lilly;

(iii) any product liability or other claim arising out of any allegation of injury caused by any person’s use of Product or Compound, which Product or Compound is distributed or sold by Lilly or its sublicensees, agents or contractors;

(v) Lilly’s failure to comply in all material respects with Applicable Laws in connection with the performance of its obligations or the exercise of its rights hereunder.

8.2 Notice and Opportunity To Defend.

(a) Notice. Promptly after receipt by a Party hereto of notice of any claim which could give rise to a right to indemnification pursuant to this Article, such Party (the “Indemnitee”) will give the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice describing the claim in reasonable detail. The failure of an Indemnitee to give notice in the manner provided herein will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article except to the extent that such failure to give notice materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim.

(b) Defense of Action. In case any action that is subject to indemnification under this Agreement shall be brought against an Indemnitee and it shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate and, if it so desires, to assume the defense with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnitee for any

fees of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense.

(c) Indemnitee’s Separate Counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if: (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, and the Indemnifying Party does not elect to engage new counsel without such a conflict; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the Indemnitee within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall authorize the Indemnitee to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense.

(d) Settlement. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such action, no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of the Indemnitee and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee. In any event, the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party may participate, at their own expense, in the defense of such asserted liability.

(e) Provision of Documents. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnitee will make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense; provided, however, any such books, records or other documents within the control of the

Indemnitee which are made available to the Indemnifying Party hereunder will be held in confidence by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Agreement and will be disclosed by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party only to the extent that such books, records or other documents relate to the claim.

(f) Conduct of Defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, the Party conducting the defense of a claim will (1) keep the other Party informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of the defense of such claim (but only to the extent such other Party is not participating jointly in the defense of such claim), and (2) conduct the defense of such claim in a prudent manner.

8.3 Indemnification Payment. Upon the final, unappealable determination of liability and the amount of the indemnification payment under this Article, the Indemnifying Party will pay such amount to the Indemnified Party in immediately available funds within thirty (30) business days after such determination.

8.4 Survival. The provisions of this Article will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. Each Indemnified Party’s rights under this Article will not be deemed to have been waived or otherwise affected by such Indemnified Party’s waiver of the breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained in or made pursuant this Agreement, unless such waiver expressly and in writing also waives any or all of the Indemnified Party’s right under this Article.

Article 9

Term and Termination

9.1 Term. The term of this Agreement will begin upon the Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated under this Article, will continue in full force and effect until the later of (i) the expiration of all Licensed Patents, (ii) the date of expiration of any patent encompassed within GenuPro Improvements or Lilly Improvements claiming inventions that would prevent in whole or in part the making, using, selling or importing of Product or Compound, or (iii) the date on which APBI Holdings has no remaining royalty payment obligations to Lilly under Section 3.1(b).

9.2 Termination for Material Breach. Lilly may terminate this Agreement upon material breach thereof by APBI Holdings, PPD or GenuPro. APBI Holdings, PPD or GenuPro may terminate this Agreement upon material breach thereof by Lilly. The Party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall provide [*] days notice of termination to the defaulting Party, except in the case of monetary defaults, in which case [*] days notice shall be provided. This Agreement shall be deemed terminated as of the expiration of such [*] day period in the case of monetary defaults or [*] day period in the case of non-monetary defaults, unless prior thereto the defaulting Party has cured the default. If in the case of a non-monetary default such default is not capable of being cured within such [*] day period, and the defaulting Party is diligently pursuing the cure of such default, the defaulting party shall be given an additional [*] day period in which to cure such default. If the default remains uncured after such additional period, then this Agreement shall be deemed terminated. Any failure by APBI Holdings to make any payment to Lilly

required by Article 3, or any development of Dapoxetine by GenuPro for use outside the GenuPro Field, shall be deemed material breaches of this Agreement.

Article 10

Miscellaneous

10.1 Independent Contractor.
