  .1   trade, quantity and cash discounts allowed;

 


 

 8 
  .2   commissions, discounts, refunds, rebates, chargebacks, retroactive price adjustments, and any other allowances that effectively reduce the net selling price;
 
  .3   actual Product returns and allowances;
 
  .4   that portion of the sales value reasonably associated with the drug delivery system, if any, used for administration of the Product;

      In the event that Product is sold as part of a Combination Product (where “Combination Product” means any pharmaceutical product which comprises Product and other active compound(s) and/or ingredients), the Net Sales of the Product, for the purposes of determining royalty payments, shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction, A / (A+B) where A is the weighted average sale price of the Product when sold separately in finished form, and B is the weighted average sale price of the other product(s) sold separately in finished form.
 
      In the event that the weighted average sale price of Product can be determined but the weighted average sale price of the other product(s)

 


 

 9 
      cannot be determined, Net Sales for purposes of determining royalty payments shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A / C where A is the weighted average sale price of Product when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average selling price of the Combination Product.
 
      In the event that the weighted average sale price of the other product(s) can be determined but the weighted average sale price of the Product cannot be determined, Net Sales for purposes of determining royalty payments shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the following formula: one (1) minus B / C where B is the weighted average sale price of the other product(s) when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average selling price of the Combination Product.
 
      In the event that the weighted average sale price of both the Product and the other product(s) in the Combination Product cannot be determined, the Net Sales of the Product will be negotiated by the Parties in good faith. If the Parties cannot reach agreement on the appropriate allocation, the Net Sales of the Product will be deemed to be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Net Sales of the Combination Product.
 
      The weighted average sale price for a Product, other product(s), or Combination Product shall be calculated once each calendar year and such price shall be used during all applicable royalty reporting periods for the entire following calendar year. When determining the weighted average sale price of a Product, other product(s), or Combination Product, the weighted average sale price shall be calculated by dividing the sales dollars (translated into U.S. dollars) by the units of active ingredient sold during the twelve (12) months (or the number of months sold in a partial calendar year) of the preceding calendar year for the respective Product, other product(s), or Combination Product. In the initial calendar year, a forecasted weighted average sale price will be used for the Product, other product(s), or Combination Product. Any over or under payment due to a difference between forecasted and actual weighted average sale prices will be paid or credited in the first royalty payment of the following calendar year.
 
  1.1.61   Person” means a natural person, a corporation, a partnership, a trust, a joint venture, a limited liability company, any Governmental Authority, or any other entity or organization.
 
  1.1.62   Phase I Clinical Trials” means clinical studies in human beings performed in any country that are intended to initially evaluate the safety and/or pharmacological effect of a product in subjects or that

Upon receipt of notice under Section 17.1 from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty either to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, such matter, except as provided in Section 17.3. The Indemnifying Party will promptly (and in any event not more than twenty (20) days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s original notice) notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to either compromise or defend such matter, and the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise or defense against any such asserted liability, including making available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation will be borne by the Indemnifying Party. In addition, the Indemnifying Party will not cease to defend any claim (except pursuant to a permitted settlement or compromise thereof) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
17.3 Indemnified Party’s Right to Proceed
At its option, the Indemnified Party will have the right to compromise or defend, by its own counsel, a claim that could give rise to its right to indemnification pursuant to Article 16 if:
  17.3.1   the Indemnifying Party elects in writing not to compromise or defend the asserted liability;
 
  17.3.2   the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to compromise or defend as herein provided; or
 
  17.3.3   the Indemnifying Party fails to admit its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement with respect to the claim following a written request of the Indemnified Party.


 

41

In these situations, the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party will be included as part of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party.
In the event the Indemnified Party intends to compromise or settle a claim under this Section, the Indemnified Party will provide at least ten (10) business days prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party describing the proposed compromise or settlement in order that the Indemnifying Party may comment and/or object.
17.4 Settlement
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim under Article 16 over the written objection of the other Party if such settlement or compromise would alter, derogate or diminish such other Party’s rights under the Agreement or otherwise materially adversely affect such other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
17.5 Other Obligations
The Party conducting the defense of a claim under Article 17 will:
  17.5.1   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
 
  17.5.2   conduct the defense of such claim in a prudent manner.
17.6 Insurance
Cardiome shall maintain and have its Sublicensees maintain liability insurance to insure against all of the liability events described in Article 16 and in paragraph 8.1 of the [Redacted — License agreement between Lilly and Licensor]. At Lilly’s request, Cardiome shall provide Lilly with certification of such insurance.
17.7 Survival and Waiver
The provisions of Article 16 and Article 17 will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. Each Indemnified Party’s rights under Article 16 and Article 17 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 to this Agreement, unless such waiver expressly and in writing also waives any or all of the Indemnified Party’s right under Article 16 and Article 17.
Article 18 Term and Termination

Exhibit 19.14: Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NASDAQ: CRME TSX: COM
Cardiome Announces In-Licensing Agreement With Eli Lilly and Company
Vancouver, Canada, April 30, 2007 — Cardiome Pharma Corp. (NASDAQ: CRME / TSX: COM) today announced that it has signed an exclusive in-licensing agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”) for LY458202 (“GED-aPC”), a clinical-stage drug candidate, whereby Cardiome has been granted exclusive worldwide rights to GED-aPC for all indications.
GED-aPC is an engineered analog of recombinant human activated Protein C (aPC) with enhanced anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic and strong binding to endothelial protein C receptor properties, and has broad potential across multiple indications. Cardiome intends to initially develop GED-aPC in cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening form of acute circulatory failure due to cardiac dysfunction, which is a leading cause of death for patients hospitalized following a heart attack.
“The scientific community is increasingly recognizing the role of inflammation in cardiovascular disease, and we have been searching for a drug candidate with the capacity to address cardiovascular disease through anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic mechanisms,” said Dr. Charles Fisher, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Cardiome. “GED-aPC is a pluripotent molecule with multiple mechanisms of action targeting key counter-regulatory pathways, and we believe that these engineered characteristics make it a highly desirable drug candidate for cardiovascular indications.”
Lilly has successfully completed a 46-person Phase 1 single-dose placebo-controlled safety study in healthy volunteers for GED-aPC. Cardiome intends to meet with the FDA in the near future regarding plans to conduct multi-dose Phase 1 studies commencing in the second half of 2007. Pending successful completion of these studies, Cardiome intends to initiate one or more Phase 2 studies in the first half of 2008.
Under terms of the agreement, Lilly will also provide Cardiome with access to intellectual property related to manufacturing of GED-aPC, and facilitate access to clinical and commercial production capacity at an established third party manufacturing facility for a defined period of time. Included in the transaction is an initial supply of GED-aPC, which is expected to be sufficient for completion of the contemplated Phase 1 program.
Financial terms of the agreement include an upfront payment of US$20 million payable to Lilly and development milestones not to exceed US$40 million contingent on achievement of certain pre-defined late-stage clinical milestones. Lilly will also be entitled to royalty payments if the molecule is ultimately commercialized. Cardiome estimates that clinical expenditures on the GED-aPC program will be approximately US$5 million in 2007.
“We believe strongly that the unique profile of this drug will be effective in treating several forms of cardiovascular disease,” stated Bob Rieder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cardiome. “Success in our industry arises from bringing benefit to patients. This drug, with its excellent mechanistic and clinical pedigree, offers great promise to patients suffering from various forms of cardiovascular disease for which few effective treatments are available.”
Cardiome will hold a teleconference and webcast on Monday, April 30, 2007 at 1:00pm ET (10:00am PT) to discuss the transaction. Please dial 800-814-4859 or 416-644-3433 to access the call. There will be a separate dial-in line for analysts on which we will respond to questions at the end of the presentation. The webcast can be accessed through Cardiome’s website at www.cardiome.com. Webcast and telephone replays of the conference call will be available approximately two hours after the completion of the call

About Cardiogenic Shock (CS)
Cardiogenic shock is a state of inadequate bloodflow to the body’s tissue caused by the failure of the heart to pump effectively, most commonly following acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). In 2006, more than 870,000 people suffered a heart attack in the U.S., with approximately 6% of them developing cardiogenic shock. Mortality rates for patients with cardiogenic shock remain high, ranging from 40% to 70%. There are currently no approved drugs to treat this indication.
About Cardiome Pharma Corp.
Cardiome Pharma Corp. is a product-focused cardiovascular drug development company with two clinical drug programs focused on atrial arrhythmia (intravenous and oral dosing), and a pre-clinical program directed at improving cardiovascular function.
Vernakalant (iv) is the intravenous formulation of an investigational drug being evaluated for the acute conversion of atrial fibrillation (AF). Positive top-line results from two pivotal Phase 3 trials for vernakalant (iv), called ACT 1 and ACT 3, were released in December 2004 and September 2005. An additional Phase 3 study evaluating patients with post-operative atrial arrhythmia, called ACT 2, and an open-label safety study evaluating recent-onset AF patients, called ACT 4, are ongoing. Cardiome’s co-development partner Astellas Pharma US, Inc. submitted a New Drug Application for vernakalant (iv) in December 2006.
Vernakalant (oral) is being investigated as a chronic-use oral drug for the maintenance of normal heart rhythm following termination of AF. Cardiome announced positive results from a Phase 2a pilot study for vernakalant (oral) in September 2006. A Phase 2b study for vernakalant (oral) is ongoing.
In April 2007 Cardiome acquired exclusive worldwide rights for GED-aPC, an engineered analog of recombinant human activated Protein C (aPC), for all indications. Cardiome intends to initially develop GED-aPC in cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening form of acute circulatory failure due to cardiac dysfunction, which is a leading cause of death for patients hospitalized following a heart attack.
Cardiome is traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (COM) and the NASDAQ National Market (CRME).
