The preliminary Development Plan for a Product containing the Compound identified as BMS-214778 is attached hereto as Schedule 1.19. 1.20 "DOLLAR" means the lawful currency of the United States of America. 1.21 "EFFECTIVE DATE" means February 25, 2004. 1.22 "FDA" means the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or its successor agency. 1.23 "FIELD" means the application to any human disease, disorder or condition, including without limitation sleep disorders such as insomnia and disorders of circadian rhythm. 1.24 "FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE" means, with respect to any Product, the first sale for use or consumption by the general public of such Product in any country in the -4- Territory after Marketing Authorization has been granted, or otherwise permitted, by the governing health authority of such country. 1.25 "FTE RATE" means the rates set forth in Schedule 1.25, such rate to be annually increased on the anniversary of the Effective Date to reflect adjustment in the CPI, using January 1, 2004 as the base year. 1.26 "IND" means an Investigational New Drug Application, as defined in the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act filed with the FDA or its foreign counterparts. 1.27 "INDEMNIFICATION CLAIM" has the meaning set forth in Section 12.1. 1.28 "JOINT INVENTIONS" has the meaning set forth in Section 10.1. 1.29 "LOSSES AND CLAIMS" has the meaning set forth in Section 12.1. 1.30 "MAJOR MARKET COUNTRY" means the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Italy. 1.31 "MANUFACTURING COST" means (i) where and to the extent a Compound or Product (or any component thereof) is manufactured, finished or packaged by a Party, the direct costs and a reasonable allocation of indirect costs (such as materials, labor and charges in the nature of depreciation, and variable and fixed overhead) that are necessary for the normal operation of a production facility that are incurred by such Party and its Affiliates in connection with the manufacturing, finishing and packaging of the Compound or Product at any facility of such Party where the Product (or such component) is so manufactured, finished and packaged, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, consistently applied from period to period, plus (ii) where and to the extent the Compound or Product (or any component thereof) is manufactured, finished or packaged by a Third Party, the actual cost charged to such Party by such Third Party. Manufacturing overhead (including any idle capacity charges) required to operate the facility will be allocated based on the amount of capacity that such Party is reasonably required to reserve to meet expected demand for the Product. Annual adjustments to variable overhead charges will be based on actual costs, while fixed overhead will be adjusted annually based on changes from the previous year to the Producer Price Index-Commodities Index for Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, as published by U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics (or successor governmental authority). As an example of idle capacity charges, if a Parry reserves a capacity of five million capsules and actual demand is three million capsules, then the idle plant for the balance of two million capsules will be included in the Manufacturing Cost; however, if a Party needs five million capsule capacity and BMS were to build a new plant for ten million capsule capacity, then the extra five million capsule idle plant will not be part of the Manufacturing Cost. 1.32 "MARKETING AUTHORIZATION" means, with respect to a country, the regulatory authorization required to market and sell a Product in such country. -5- 1.33 "MGH LICENSE AGREEMENT" means the agreement between The General Hospital Corporation d/b/a Massachusetts General Hospital ("MGH") and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company that is currently being negotiated and that will be entered into after the Effective Date, and as it may be modified or supplemented after being entered into, under which BMS will be obligated to pay MGH a royalty on the sales of Products. 1.34 "NDA" means a New Drug Application, as defined in the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder as amended from time to time. 1.35 "NET SALES" means the gross amounts invoiced by the Royalty Paying Party, its Affiliates or sublicensees for sales of Product in finished package form (ready for use by the ultimate consumer) in the Territory to a Third Party, including, but not limited to, sales to wholesalers or other customers typical in each country in bona fide, arm's length transactions. In determining Net Sales, certain deductions may be taken against the gross amount invoiced to the extent not reimbursed by a Third Party. These allowable deductions are: 1.35.1 (a) discounts, including cash discounts, discounts to managed care or similar organizations or government organizations, administrative fees paid to pharmacy benefits managers, (b) rebates paid or credited, including government rebates such as Medicaid chargebacks or rebates, and (c) retroactive price reductions or allowances actually allowed or granted from the billed amount; 1.35.2 credits or allowances actually granted upon claims, rejections or returns of such sales of Products; 1.35.3 taxes, duties or other governmental charges levied on or measured by the billing amount when included in billing, as adjusted for rebates, charge-backs and refunds; 1.35.4 freight, postage, shipping and insurance charges to the extent included on the same invoice by the Royalty Paying Party or its sublicensee for delivery of such Products; and 1.35.5 the actual amount of any write-offs for bad debt. A "sale" of a Product is deemed to occur upon the invoicing, or if no invoice is issued, upon the earlier of shipment or transfer of title in the Product to a Third Party. With respect to a Combination Product, Net Sales for such Combination Product sold by the Royalty Paying Party shall be determined by the Parties to this Agreement in good faith based on the relative value of the Compound and the additional active ingredients that are included in the Combination Product. 1.36 "PHASE II CLINICAL STUDY" means a clinical study of a Product in human subjects for the purpose of identifying a dose or doses at which there is evidence of -6- efficacy and acceptable safety and tolerability, which shall be deemed commenced upon the dosing of the first subject in such study. 1.37 "PHASE III CLINICAL STUDY" means a clinical study of a Product in human subjects the results of which could be used to establish safety and efficacy of the Product as a basis for Marketing Authorization of the Product which shall be deemed commenced upon the dosing of the first subject in such study. 1.38 "PRODUCT" means any product or pharmaceutical formulation containing a Compound as one of its active ingredients (or as the sole active ingredient), in all dosage forms, formulations, presentations, line extensions, and package configurations. 1.39 "REGULATORY AUTHORITY" means any regulatory agency or other governmental instrumentality that has regulatory authority, anywhere or at any governmental level, in the Territory over the Development or Commercialization of the Products. 1.40 "ROYALTY PAYING PARTY" has the meaning set forth in Section 8.5. 1.41 "ROYALTY RECEIVING PARTY" has the meaning set forth in Section 8.5. 1.42 "BMS OPTION" has the meaning set forth in Section 3.2.1. 1.43 "BMS OPTION PERIOD" has the meaning set forth in Section 3.2.1. 1.44 "SOLE INVENTIONS" has the meaning set forth in Section 10.1. 1.45 "SUPPLY AGREEMENT" has the meaning set forth in Section 7.3. 1.46 "TERRITORY" means any country in the world. 1.47 "THIRD PARTY" means any business entity other than Vanda, BMS and their respective Affiliates. 1.48 "VALID CLAIM" means a claim of an issued and unexpired patent, or a claim of a pending patent application or a supplementary protection certificate, which claim has not been held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other government agency of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or has been taken and has not been held or admitted to be invalid or unenforceable through re-examination or disclaimer, opposition procedure, nullity suit or otherwise, which claim, but for the licenses granted herein, would be infringed by the sale of a Product; provided, however, that if a claim of a pending patent application shall not have issued within five (5) years after the filing date from which such claim takes priority, such claim shall not constitute a Valid Claim for the purposes of this Agreement unless and until such claim shall issue. 1.49 "VANDA THIRD PARTY DEVELOPMENT OPTION" has the meaning set forth in Section 3.1.1. -7- 1.50 "VANDA THIRD PARTY DEVELOPMENT OPTION PERIOD" has the meaning set forth in Section 3.1.1.

All rights not expressly granted hereunder are reserved by BMS and may be used by BMS for any purpose. ARTICLE 3 OPTION GRANTS 3.1 VANDA'S OPTION: THIRD PARTY DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS. 3.1.1 Vanda Development Option Period. Vanda will have the right, anytime prior to filing an NDA for a Product ("Vanda Third Party Development Option Period"), to negotiate an agreement to sublicense Vanda's rights' to Develop and Commercialize a Product (a "Development and Commercialization Agreement") with a Third Party in at least one Major Market Country ("Vanda Third Party Development Option"); provided, however, that with respect to each Product, upon Vanda locking the database for Vanda's first Phase III Clinical Study for the Product, Vanda shall have a limited time in which to exercise the Vanda Third Party Development Option for the Product before the right to exercise such option is suspended. Vanda shall have 120 days from the date Vanda locks the database for Vanda's first phase III Clinical Study for the Product to exercise such option. If Vanda exercises such option during such 120 day period, BMS shall have a right of first negotiation to enter into a Development and Commercialization Agreement for the Product with Vanda. BMS shall have a thirty (30) day review period, from the receipt of Vanda's written notice to seek a Third Party partner, to elect to enter into negotiations with Vanda. During the thirty (30) day review period, Vanda shall timely provide BMS with copies of any reports, data, results or information, material to the Development of the Product that are or may become available, including but not limited to those relating to the first phase III Clinical Study for the Product. Thereafter, BMS will have a ninety (90) day period of exclusivity in which to negotiate and execute a Development and Commercialization Agreement, and Vanda shall negotiate in good faith during such ninety (90) day period. During such thirty (30) day review period and such ninety (90) day period of exclusivity, Vanda shall not approach any Third Party concerning a Development and Commercialization Agreement or disclose any of the Phase III Clinical Study data, results or conclusions to any Third Party that may potentially enter into a Development and Commercialization Agreement for the Product. If, during the thirty (30) day review period BMS does not formally notify Vanda in writing of its intention to enter into a Development and Commercialization Agreement or informs Vanda that it is not interested in entering into such an agreement or if BMS does notify Vanda of its intention to enter into such an agreement but does not enter into a such an agreement for the Product during such ninety (90) day period of exclusivity, then Vanda shall have 120 days from the end of the thirty (30) day review period if BMS does not provide Vanda with notice of its intention to -9- negotiate during such thirty (30) day period, or 120 days from the date BMS notifies Vanda that it is not interested in entering into a Development and Commercialization Agreement for the Product or 120 days from the end of the ninety (90) day period of exclusivity if BMS does notify Vanda of its intention to enter into such an agreement but the parties do not enter into a such an agreement during such ninety (90) day period, as the case may be, to negotiate and enter into a Development and Commercialization Agreement with a Third Party for the Product. If Vanda does not enter into such an agreement with a Third Party during such 120 day period, then the Vanda Third Party Development Option shall be suspended from the end of such 120 day period (the Option Suspension Date) until the end of the BMS Option Period for the Product. The Vanda Third Party Development Option is exercisable by written notice from Vanda to BMS of Vanda's intention to seek a Third Party partner. Such option shall be exercisable on a Product-by-Product and on a Major Market Country by Major Market Country basis. For the avoidance of doubt, rights to Develop and Commericalize a Product in non-Major Market Countries may be included in the Development and Commercialization Agreement for a Major Market Country. With respect to a Product, the Major Market Countries together with all other countries that are not included in a Development and Commercialization Agreement for the Product shall be referred to as the "Remaining Countries." 3.1.2 Option Exercise. Except as provided in Section 3.1.1 for the period following the locking of the database after the first Phase III Clinical Study for a Product, in the event that Vanda exercises its Vanda Third Party Development Option for a Product in a particular Major Market Country in the Vanda Third Party Development Option Period, BMS shall have a right of first negotiation to enter into a Development and Commercialization Agreement for that Product in that Major Market Country. BMS shall have a thirty (30) day review period, from the receipt of Vanda's written notice to seek a Third Party partner, to elect to enter into negotiations with Vanda. During the thirty (30) day review period, Vanda shall timely provide BMS with copies of any reports, data, results or information, material to the Development of a Product that are or may become available. Thereafter, BMS will have a sixty (60) day period of exclusivity in which to negotiate and execute a Development and Commercialization Agreement for the Product, and Vanda shall negotiate in good faith during such sixty (60) day period. If during the thirty (30) day review period BMS does not formally notify Vanda in writing of its intention to enter into such an agreement or informs Vanda that it is not interested in entering into such an agreement or if BMS does not enter into such an agreement during the sixty (60) day period of exclusivity, then Vanda may enter into a Development and Commercialization Agreement for the Product with a Third Party. The Parties will use reasonable efforts to make decisions earlier than the final day of each period allowed by this section 3.1.2 to the extent practicable. In the event that Vanda enters into one or more Development and Commercialization Agreements for a Product pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1.1 and/or this Section 3.1.2 prior to the Option Suspension Date, then BMS will surrender the BMS Option with respect to the Product in those countries that are included in such Development and Commercialization Agreements but retain the BMS Option with respect to the Remaining Countries. -10- 3.1.3 Vanda Third Party Development Option Not Exercised. In the event Vanda does not exercise its Vanda Third Party Development Option for a Product or enter into any Development and Commercialization Agreements for the Product prior to the Option Suspension Date for the Product, then BMS will have an opportunity to exercise its BMS Option for the Product in all countries on the terms and conditions described in Section 3.2. 3.2 BMS OPTION EXERCISABLE UPON COMPLETION OF PHASE III CLINICAL STUDIES: COMMERCIALIZATION. 3.2.1 BMS Option Period. The BMS Option Period for a Product will commence for the Remaining Countries (providing Vanda has not entered into one or more Development and Commercialization Agreements for the Product which when taken together include all of the Major Market Countries prior to the Option Suspension Date for the Product) on the date that (1) Vanda provides BMS with a full written report of the Phase III Clinical Studies, including the results and conclusions thereof, on which Vanda intends to rely for filing for Marketing Authorization for the Product in the first Major Market Country and (2) both Parties agree in writing is the commencement date for the BMS Option Period. The BMS Option Period shall terminate ninety (90) days later ("BMS Option Period"). At any time during the BMS Option Period, BMS may provide Vanda with written notice that either: (a) it does not wish to Develop or Commercialize the Product in the Remaining Countries; or (b) it wishes to reacquire all rights to the Product in the Remaining Countries ((b) shall be referred to as the "BMS Option").

ARTICLE 10 PATENT MAINTENANCE; INFRINGEMENT; CONFIDENTIALITY 10.1 INVENTIONS. Each Party shall own the entire right, title and interest in and to any and all inventions conceived solely by its employees and agents after the Effective Date ("Sole Inventions"), and any patents covering such Sole Inventions. BMS and Vanda shall each own an undivided one-half interest in and to any and all inventions conceived jointly after the Effective Date by (a) employees and agents of BMS and (b) employees and agents of Vanda, and in and to any patents and other intellectual property -25- rights claiming or covering such joint Inventions ("Joint Inventions"). BMS and Vanda as joint owners each shall have the right to exploit and to grant licenses under such Joint Inventions (without an accounting or obligation to, or consent required from, the other Party), unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. 10.2 PATENT MAINTENANCE; ABANDONMENT. 10.2.1 BMS PATENT RIGHTS. BMS shall be responsible for, and shall control, the prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and reexaminations) and maintenance of all BMS Patent Rights. BMS shall provide Vanda with copies of all correspondence from any and all patent offices concerning the BMS Patent Rights and an opportunity to comment on any proposed responses, voluntary amendments and submissions of any kind to be made to any and all such patent offices (other than routine filings and correspondence to maintain the patents). BMS shall have the right to select the in-house or outside counsel who will perform the aforementioned prosecution and maintenance-associated activities, and Vanda shall reimburse BMS for its fully-burdened costs (including any fees payable to the applicable patent office) incurred in connection therewith. In the event that BMS exercises the BMS Option and the Parties are co-Developing or co-promoting the Product, Vanda will only reimburse BMS for fifty percent (50%) of the patent costs incurred from the commencement of the Phase III Clinical Studies (i.e., the date when the first patient in the Phase III Clinical Studies is dosed) or the effective date of the co-promotion agreement, as applicable. If Vanda elects not to pay any expenses with respect to a BMS Patent Right in a given country, Vanda shall inform BMS in writing not less than two months before any relevant deadline (or, in the event of a shorter period in which to respond to a patent office, as soon as reasonably practicable). In the event Vanda makes such election, or if Vanda fails to reimburse BMS for its fully-burdened costs incurred for prosecuting and maintaining a BMS Patent Right in a given country, BMS may retain or abandon such BMS Patent Right at its sole discretion and Vanda's license under such BMS Patent Right shall be extinguished. Except as provided in the previous sentence, BMS may not abandon a BMS Patent Right without the prior written consent of Vanda. 10.2.2 SOLE INVENTIONS. Each Party shall direct and control at its expense the filing, prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and reexaminations) and maintenance of all patents covering its Sole Inventions. 10.2.3 JOINT INVENTIONS. The Parties shall supervise, and shall assign, on a Joint Invention-by-Joint Invention basis, one Party to be responsible for, the filing, prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and reexaminations) and maintenance of all patents covering such Joint Invention consistent with such strategy. The designated controlling Party shall provide the other Party with (a) drafts of any new patent application that covers a Joint Invention prior to filing that application, allowing adequate time for review and comment by the Party if possible; provided, however, the designated controlling Party shall not be obligated to delay the filing of any patent application; and (b) copies of all correspondence from any and all patent offices concerning patent applications covering Joint Inventions and an opportunity to comment on any proposed responses, voluntary amendments and submissions of any kind to be -26- made to any and all such patent offices. The Parties shall mutually agree on the in-house or outside counsel who will perform the filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Inventions and the allocation of out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith. 10.3 ENFORCEMENT OF BMS PATENT RIGHTS AGAINST INFRINGERS. 10.3.1 Enforcement by BMS. In the event that BMS or in-house counsel of Vanda becomes aware of a suspected infringement of any BMS Patent Right, such Party shall notify the other Party promptly, and following such notification, the Parties shall confer. BMS shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring an infringement action at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control. Vanda will reasonably assist BMS (at BMS' expense) in any action or proceeding being prosecuted if so requested, and will lend its name to such actions or proceedings if requested by BMS or required by law, and BMS will indemnify and hold Vanda harmless from any liability incurred by Vanda arising out of any such actions or proceedings. Vanda shall have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel at its own expense. No settlement of any such action or defense which restricts the scope, or adversely affects the enforceability, of a BMS Patent Right may be entered into by BMS without the prior written consent of Vanda, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 10.3.2 Enforcement by Vanda. If BMS elects not to bring any action for infringement described in Section 10.3.1 and so notifies Vanda, then Vanda may bring such action at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control. BMS will reasonably assist Vanda (at Vanda' expense) in any action or proceeding being prosecuted if so requested, and will lend its name to such actions or proceedings if requested by Vanda or required by law, and Vanda will indemnify and hold BMS harmless from any liability incurred by BMS arising out of any such actions or proceedings. BMS shall have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel at its own expense. No settlement of any such action or defense which restricts the scope, or adversely affects the enforceability, of a BMS Patent Right may be entered into by Vanda without the prior written consent of BMS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 10.3.3 Withdrawal. If either Party brings such an action or defends such a proceeding under this Section 10.3 and subsequently ceases to pursue or withdraws from such action or proceeding, it shall promptly notify the other Party and the other Party may substitute itself for the withdrawing Party under the terms of this Section 10.3. 10.3.4 Damages. In the event either Party exercises the rights conferred in this Section 10.3 and recovers any damages or other sums in such action, suit or proceeding or in settlement thereof, such damages or other sums recovered shall first be applied to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection therewith, including attorneys fees. If such recovery is insufficient to cover all such costs and expenses of both Parties, it shall be shared in proportion to the total such costs and expenses incurred by each Party. If after such reimbursement any funds shall remain from such damages or other sums recovered, such funds shall be retained by the Party -27- that controlled the action or proceeding under this Section 10.3; provided, that the Royalty Receiving Party shall receive out of any such remaining recovery received by the Royalty Paying Party an amount equal to the lost royalties or other license payments that would have been paid to it on the Net Sales to which such recovery pertains. 10.4 DEFENSE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. If a claim is brought by a Third Party against either Party that any activity related to the Development, manufacture, Commercialization, use, sale, import or export of a Compound or Product infringes the intellectual property rights of such Third Party, each Party will give prompt written notice to the other Party of such claim. The Royalty Paying Party shall control and bear the expense of its own defense, and shall be solely responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Royalty Receiving Party and its Affiliates from and against, any such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs (including without limitation reasonable legal expenses, costs of litigation, and reasonable attorney's fees) or judgments, whether for money or equitable relief. ARTICLE 11 NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 11.1 NONDISCLOSURE. Each Party agrees that for a period of [*] after receipt of Confidential Information from the other Party, a Party receiving Confidential Information of the other Party will (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in confidence such Confidential Information (but not less than those efforts as such Party uses to maintain in confidence its own proprietary industrial information of similar kind and value) and not to disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party without prior written consent of the other Party, except for disclosures made in confidence to any Third Party under terms consistent with this Agreement and made in furtherance of this Agreement or of rights granted to a Party hereunder, and (b) not use such other Party's Confidential Information for any purpose except those permitted by this Agreement (it being understood that this subsection (b) shall not create or imply any rights or licenses not expressly granted under Article 2 hereof). 11.1.1 EXCEPTIONS.

ARTICLE 12 INDEMNITY 12.1 VANDA INDEMNITY. Vanda shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BMS and its Affiliates and the officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors (including without limitation MGH and its officers, medical and professional staff, employees, trustees, and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns) and representatives of BMS and its Affiliates from and against any and all claims, threatened claims, damages, losses, suits, proceedings, liabilities, costs (including without limitation reasonable legal expenses, costs of litigation, and reasonable attorney's fees) or judgments, whether for money or equitable relief, of any kind ("Losses and Claims") arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly, (i) the research, Development, manufacture, use, sale or other disposition, promotion, advertising, Commercialization, offering for sale, importation, handling, storage, transfer, or exportation of any Compound or Product by Vanda and its Affiliates, sublicensees and contractors or to Vanda's (or its Affiliates' and sublicensees') use and practice otherwise of the BMS Patent Rights and BMS Compound Know-How, including without limitation, Claims based on (a) product liability, bodily injury, death or property damage, and (b) infringement or misappropriation of Third Party patents, copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights, or the failure to comply with applicable Laws related to the research, development, Commercialization, promotion, distribution and sale of the Products and/or to the manufacture and labeling of the Products; except for Losses and Claims to the extent reasonably attributable to (i) breach by BMS of Article 11, or (ii) BMS having committed an act or acts of gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct.

If BMS is obligated to Commercialize a Product and fails to effect a commercial launch within twelve (12) months of achieving the first Approval for such Product in a given Major Market Country; provided however, if the failure to launch in such Major Market Country is a consequence of lack of commercial feasibility due to the pricing/reimbursement received for the Product in such Country or safety issues, then this Section 13.3 shall not apply to such failure to launch. 13.3.3 TERMINATION FOR BMS' CESSATION OF DEVELOPMENT. If BMS elects to cease development of a Product in its discretion with respect to a given Major Market Country for a period exceeding six (6) months (other than for safety reasons or regulatory reasons). 13.3.4 SCOPE OF TERMINATION.
