(a) During the Initial Research Term, Schering agrees to provide PTC with funding (at the FTE Rate) for the number of FTEs set forth in the Research Plan, as it may be amended from time to time. The JSC shall have the discretion to adjust the number of FTEs to be provided by PTC and supported by Schering during the Initial Research Term consistent with changes in the Research Plan; provided that in the initial phase of the Research Plan (prior to Schering's acceptance of the first Development Candidate), the JSC shall not (i) increase the number of FTEs funded by Schering on an annualized basis to greater than [**], or (ii) decrease the number of FTEs funded by Schering on an annualized basis to fewer than [**]. Following Schering's acceptance of the first Development Candidate, the number of FTEs to be funded by Schering will be decreased by the JSC to reflect the decreased activities, if any, required under the Research Plan to identify a Back-up Development Candidate and support the accepted Development Candidate. It is currently expected that the number of FTEs to be funded by Schering during the second phase of the Research Plan (following Schering's acceptance of the first Development Candidate) will be approximately [**] of the number that is funded by Schering during the initial phase of the Research Plan; provided, however, that in no case will the number of FTEs funded by Schering during this second phase of the Research Plan exceed [**] or be fewer than [**] on an annualized basis. Following designation of a Back-Up Development Candidate by Schering, the number of FTEs to be funded by Schering will be 18 EXECUTION VERSION decreased by the JSC to reflect the decreased activities required under the Research Plan to support the accepted Back-up Development Candidate and accepted Development Candidate. Funding of any PTC FTEs by Schering during the Extended Research Term shall be as provided in Section 2.8. (b) The amounts due to PTC under this Section 2.5 shall be payable in equal installments on a quarterly basis, on the fifteenth (15th) day of each January, April, July and October of each year during the Research Term. (c) Except for the FTE funding to be provided by Schering pursuant to Sections 2.5(a) and 2.8, each Party shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in performing activities assigned to it under the Research Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that PTC agrees to undertake any activities that are not related to the chemical optimization or biological or pharmacological characterization of Collaboration Compounds, Schering shall be responsible for any PTC internal costs (such costs to be calculated by multiplying the number of PTC FTEs by the FTE Rate), as well as any external costs incurred by PTC in performing such activities (but only to the extent such external costs have been approved by Schering in advance). 2.6 Disclosure of Facilitating Research Technology. Each Party will disclose to the other all Research Technology discovered, Invented, or otherwise made by such Party that is necessary to enable the other Party to perform its obligations under the Research Plan or to exercise its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, information regarding Collaboration Compounds, activities of Collaboration Compounds, and results of in vitro and in vivo studies, assay techniques and new assays. Such Research Technology will be promptly disclosed to the other Party, with meaningful discoveries or advances being communicated as promptly as practicable after such information is obtained or its significance is appreciated. 2.7 Information Regarding Collaboration Compounds. PTC shall inform Schering and the JSC in writing on a quarterly basis and otherwise reasonably promptly in response to Schering's written request of its discovery, synthesis, or biological characterization of Collaboration Compounds during the Research Term.

ARTICLE 4 DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS 4.1 Responsibility for Development; Diligence. (a) Selection of Development Candidates and Back-Up Development Candidates. Based upon the criteria set forth in Schedule 1.14 and the criteria it develops under Section 1.3, the JSC shall review all data relating to the Collaboration Compounds and shall identify appropriate Collaboration Compounds for recommendation to Schering for selection as Development Candidates and Back-Up Development Candidates. It is understood and agreed that, subject to the provisions of Section 4.1(d), all decisions regarding the designation of Development Candidates and Back-Up Development Candidates shall be made by Schering in its sole discretion; provided, however, Schering agrees to make such decisions in good faith based upon its then-current internal decision-making standards and processes. Upon the designation of any Collaboration Compound by Schering as a Development Candidate or Back-Up Development Candidate, Schering shall promptly notify PTC in writing. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the first Highly Active Collaboration Compound 26 EXECUTION VERSION (or NV Compound designated as a Schering Field NV Compound pursuant to this Section 4.1(a)) for which Schering commences GLP toxicology studies intended to support submission of an IND shall be deemed to be a Development Candidate, and the second Highly Active Collaboration Compound (or NV Compound designated as a Schering Field NV Compound pursuant to this Section 4.1(a)) for which Schering commences GLP toxicology studies intended to support submission of an IND shall be deemed to be a Back-Up Development Candidate. In addition to selecting Highly Active Collaboration Compounds for Development as Schering Viral Products, it is understood that Schering shall also have the right at any time to designate one or more NV Compounds for Development as Schering Viral Products in the Viral Field; provided that Schering shall not make any such designation unless it (1) has a good faith intention to Develop and Commercialize such NV Compound in the Viral Field, and (2) has provided PTC with data supporting its designation, together with a written research plan describing Schering's planned initial Research regarding such compound, which research plan is consistent with a commitment by Schering to initiate [**] (or a later downstream Research or Development activity) with respect to such compound (or a Related Compound) within [**] of the date of such designation by Schering. For clarity, Schering may not designate a particular NV Compound for Development as a Schering Viral Product if either (x) PTC has previously designated such compound as a Designated NV Compound pursuant to Section 4A.1, or (y) such NV Compound is a Related Compound for another NV Compound previously designated by PTC as a Designated NV Compound pursuant to Section 4A.1. If, with respect to any NV Compound designated by Schering for Development as a Schering Viral Product, Schering fails to initiate [**] (or later downstream activities) with respect to such compound, or any Related Compound, within the [**] period described above in this Section 4.1(a), then Schering's exclusive license to such NV Compound (and any Related Compounds) shall terminate, PTC shall have the right to designate such compound as a PTC Designated NV Compound in accordance with the provisions of Section 4A.1, and Schering shall have no right to re-designate such NV Compound as a compound for Development as a Schering Viral Product or Schering Non-Viral Product for a period of [**] following the end of the [**] period described above in this Section 4.1(a). (b) Responsibility for Development. Following the Effective Date, [**] Development of Schering Viral Products in the Field, and shall [**] make decisions relating thereto, subject in each case to Schering's obligations under Section 4.1(d) and the provisions of Article 3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, [**] shall be responsible for (a) determining which Highly Active Collaboration Compounds and Schering Field NV Compounds will be Developed as Schering Viral Products in the Field, (b) determining the Development strategy for all Schering Viral Products, (c) preparing the Development Plans and, to the extent set forth in Section 3.3, reviewing the same with the JSC, (d) developing protocols for all pre-clinical and clinical studies to be conducted for Schering Viral Products, and (e) conducting any pre-clinical and clinical studies regarding Highly Active Collaboration Compounds and Schering Viral Products. (c) PTC's Participation in Early Development Activities. Schering may request that PTC perform certain Development activities related to pre-clinical or Phase I clinical studies for any Schering Viral Product following the Effective Date. PTC may agree to perform such services, subject to the provisions of Section 4.2, but is not obligated to do so. (d) Diligence. Schering and its Affiliates shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop at least one Schering Viral Product in each of the Major Markets. It is understood that Schering shall have no obligation to Develop any particular Schering Viral Product, and Schering's failure to Develop any particular Schering Viral Product shall in no way 27 EXECUTION COPY be considered a breach of Schering's obligations under this Section 4.1(d) or provide any basis for PTC to seek termination of this Agreement. (e) Development Benchmarks. In the event that Schering has not (i) [**] following its acceptance of the first Development Candidate, or (ii) has not [**] of acceptance of the applicable Development Candidate, then PTC shall have the right to request that the Parties meet to discuss in good faith any concerns that PTC may have regarding Schering's satisfaction of its diligence obligations set forth in Section 4.1(d). During such discussions, Schering shall provide a reasonable explanation as to why it believes either of the foregoing specified events has not occurred by the applicable date. (i) If (A) after good faith discussions PTC still reasonably believes that Schering's failure to achieve either of the events specified in Section 4.1(e) by the dates specified therein demonstrates that Schering has breached its diligence obligation pursuant to Section 4.1(d), or (B) such good faith discussions have not been initiated within [**] of PTC's request therefor or completed within [**] (or in either case such longer time period as the Parties may mutually agree), then PTC shall have the right to initiate dispute resolution proceedings pursuant to Article 12. In such proceedings, [**]. (ii) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in Section 4.1(d) is intended to limit the ability of PTC to bring claims in good faith against Schering at any time regarding Schering's alleged breaches of Section 4.1(d); provided, however, it is understood that [**] shall apply solely with respect to the specific issue described in such section and only with respect to those proceedings (including litigation) related to such specific issue and not to any other allegations of PTC regarding lack of diligence (whether such allegations are raised in a dispute resolution proceeding initiated pursuant to Section 4.1(e)(i) or otherwise). (iii) The Parties acknowledge that there are numerous reasons that are beyond the control of Schering that might impact Schering's ability to achieve either of the events specified in Section 4.1(e) by the dates specified therein (e.g., safety concerns which arise during testing of the Development Candidate), and it is understood that the failure by Schering to achieve either of such events by such dates shall not, in and of itself, be deemed a breach of Schering's diligence obligations under Section 4.1(d) or create any inference that Schering has breached its obligations under Section 4.1(d). (f) Development Deadlines. In the event that [**] following acceptance of the first Development Candidate, then PTC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Schering. Any termination by PTC pursuant to this Section 4.1(f) shall have the same effect as if Schering terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2. 4.2 Responsibility for Development Costs. Schering shall be responsible for all costs and expenses related to its Development of Schering Viral Products. 4.3 Development Plans.

ARTICLE 4A DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF DESIGNATED NV COMPOUNDS BY EITHER PARTY 4A.1 Designation of Designated NV Compounds. (a) At any time following the Research Term, either Party shall have the right to designate one or more NV Compounds as candidates for Development and Commercialization in the Non-Viral Field according to the provisions set forth in this Section 4A.1. In order to designate an NV Compound as a Designated NV Compound (as defined below) for Development and Commercialization in the Non-Viral Field, the designating Party must provide a written notice to the other Party which identifies the specific structure of the NV Compound, and either (x) provides data which demonstrates that the NV Compound has [**] against a given target in the Non-Viral Field, and includes a commitment [**] (or later downstream Research or Development activity) with respect to the NV Compound (or a Related Compound) within [**] of the Designation Date (as defined below) for such NV Compound, or (y) in cases where [**] provides a description of the assay or methods used to measure activity in the Non-Viral Field and a description of the activity observed, and includes a commitment [**] with respect to the NV Compound (or a Related Compound) within [**] of the Designation Date for such NV Compound. As used in this Agreement, "Designation Date" means the date on which a written notice is received by the non-designating Party complying with the foregoing requirements. For purposes of designating an NV Compound, activity against a given target must be measured using either (x) a published assay that is generally accepted in the scientific community as a valid measure of activity against such target, or (y) an assay that is proprietary to the designating Party and that would be considered by one of ordinary skill in the art as a valid measure of activity against the given target. Each Party agrees that it shall not designate an NV Compound under this Section 4A.1(a) unless it has a good faith intention to Develop and Commercialize the NV Compound (or a Related Compound) for at least one indication in the Non-Viral Field. An NV Compound designated pursuant to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4A.1(a) shall be referred to as a "Designated NV Compound." 32 EXECUTION VERSION (b) If a Party validly designates an NV Compound as a Designated NV Compound pursuant to the provisions of Section 4A.1(a), then it shall receive those licenses with respect to such Designated NV Compound and any Related Compounds specified in Section 5.4. (c) If a Party fails [**], as applicable under Section 4A.1(a) above (or later downstream Development or Commercialization activity) with respect to a Designated NV Compound (or Related Compound) designated by it within [**] of the Designation Date for such Designated NV Compound, then the following provisions shall be applicable: (i) The designating Party's designation of such NV Compound as a Designated NV Compound shall be null and void, and the license granted to it pursuant to Section 5.4 with respect to such Designated NV Compound and Related Compounds shall automatically terminate; (ii) The designating Party shall thereafter be precluded from designating such Designated NV Compound and Related Compounds as a Designated NV Compound for a period of [**] from the end of the applicable [**] period under Section 4A.1(a); and (iii) The other Party shall have the right to designate such NV Compound and Related Compounds as a Designated NV Compound, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions of Section 4A.1(a) and without use of any Confidential Information of the other Party with respect to such NV Compound, provided, however, that it is understood that the mere fact that an NV Compound has been designated without reference to any data provided by the other Party in connection with such designation shall not constitute Confidential Information of the other Party solely for the purposes of this Subsection 4A.1(c)(iii). (d) The Parties further agree that, in the event a Party designates an NV Compound pursuant to this Section 4A.1, the non-designating Party shall not be required to remove such Designated NV Compound (or compound known by it to be a Related Compound) from its screening library, so long as the non-designating Party does not utilize any data it has generated, or may in the future generate, with respect to the screening of such Designated NV Compound (or compound known by it to be a Related Compound) unless such designation has lapsed pursuant to Section 4A.1(c). (e) For clarity, (x) PTC may not designate any Schering Compound, any Schering Field NV Compound or any Designated NV Compound (or any Related Compound thereof) previously designated by Schering (unless such designation has lapsed pursuant to Section 4A.1(c)), and (y) Schering may not designate as a Designated NV Compound any Designated NV Compound (or any Related Compound thereof) previously designated by PTC (unless such designation has lapsed pursuant to Section 4A.1(c)). 4A.2 Development of NV Compounds by Schering. Following the expiration or termination of the Research Term, Schering and its Affiliates shall not conduct any clinical development work, or license any Third Party to conduct any clinical development work, on any 33 EXECUTION VERSION NV Compound until either (x) such NV Compound has been designated by Schering as a Designated NV Compound as provided in Section 4A.1, or (y) such NV Compound has been designated by Schering for Development for use in the Viral Field in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1(a). 4A.3 Development of NV Compounds by PTC. PTC and its Affiliates shall not conduct any clinical development work, or license any Third Party to conduct any clinical development work, on any NV Compound until such NV Compound has been designated by PTC as a Designated NV Compound as provided in Section 4A.1. 4A.4 No Development or Commercialization of Collaboration Compounds in the Viral Field by PTC. PTC agrees that during the Term neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall (A) conduct, cause any Third Party to conduct, or authorize any licensee of PTC (excluding Schering) to conduct, a human clinical trial or an animal study within the Viral Field with respect to any Collaboration Compound or PTC Product, or knowingly provide financial support to, or furnish a Collaboration Compound or PTC Product to, any Third Party for any such purpose, (B) publish or authorize any licensee to publish any data from any human clinical trial or animal study which would promote a Collaboration Compound or PTC Product for use in the Viral Field, or (C) market or promote, or authorize a Third Party to market or promote, a Collaboration Compound or PTC Product for use in the Viral Field through advertising, promotion or the like. PTC shall impose the restrictions set forth in this Section 4A.4 on all its licensees/sublicensees and distributors of PTC Products. 4A.5 No Development or Commercialization of NV Compounds in the Viral Field by Schering. Schering agrees that, except to the extent Schering has designated a particular NV Compound for Development in the Viral Field pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.1(a), during the Term neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall (A) conduct, cause any Third Party to conduct, or authorize any licensee of Schering to conduct, a human clinical trial or an animal study within the Viral Field with respect to any NV Compound or Schering Non-Viral Product, or knowingly provide financial support to, or furnish a NV Compound or Schering Non-Viral Product to, any Third Party for any such purpose, (B) publish or authorize any licensee to publish any data from any human clinical trial or animal study which would promote a NV Compound or Schering Non-Viral Product for use in the Viral Field, or (C) market or promote, or authorize a Third Party to market or promote, a NV Compound or Schering Non-Viral Product for use in the Viral Field through advertising, promotion or the like. Schering shall impose the restrictions set forth in this Section 4A.5 on all its licensees/sublicensees and distributors of Schering Non-Viral Products. 4A.6 Applicability of Restrictions. Each Party acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in Sections 4A.2 through 4A.5 that are applicable to it shall apply regardless of whether any license under the other Party's Patents or Know-How is required in order to enable it to Develop or Commercialize the applicable compound or the applicable Licensed Product containing such compound. 34 EXECUTION VERSION ARTICLE 5 LICENSES 5.1 Research Licenses.

ARTICLE 6 CONSIDERATION 6.1 Up-front Payment. In partial consideration of the rights granted to it by PTC under the Schering Licenses, Schering shall pay to PTC an upfront fee of twelve million Dollars ($12,000,000) within ten (10) Business Days from the Effective Date. The upfront payment will be unconditional and as such shall not be subject to any offset, credit, reduction or repayment for any reason whatsoever. 6.2 Development Milestone Payments for Schering Viral Products. As further consideration for the rights granted to it by PTC under the Schering Licenses, within [**] following the first occurrence of the relevant events specified below, Schering shall pay to PTC the following amounts:
MILESTONE AMOUNT --------- ------ (a) [**] [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (b) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (c) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (d) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (e) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**])
38 EXECUTION VERSION (f) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (g) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (h) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (i) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (j) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (k) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (l) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (m) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) (n) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**])
It is understood that each of the above milestone payments shall be payable only once (upon the first achievement of such milestone event by any Schering Viral Product), regardless of the number of Schering Viral Products that achieve such milestones. For purposes of clarity, if the Development of a Schering Viral Product is terminated for any reason prior to the first Regulatory Approval of such Schering Viral Product, and Schering subsequently continues to Develop one or more other Schering Viral Products, the above milestones will be paid only when a Schering Viral Product reaches a milestone beyond the last milestone achieved by any previous Schering Viral Product. Furthermore, for the milestones payable under Sections 6.2(a), (c), (e), and (f) (the "Development Milestones Group"), payment of a milestone within the Development Milestone Group with respect to a Schering Viral Product shall trigger payment of any earlier unpaid milestones within the Development Milestone Group for such Schering Viral Product, and payment of any milestone with respect to such Schering Viral Product under Sections 6.2(g), (h), and (i) shall trigger payment of all earlier unpaid milestones within the Development Milestone Group for such Schering Viral Products. Similar principles shall apply to payment of milestones for an indication in the Field other than for HCV under Sections 6.2(j)-(n). For the purposes of Section 6.2(a), a Collaboration Compound will be considered to have been [**] at such time as PTC has (i) completed all biological characterization activities for such compound that are required to be performed by PTC under the Research Plan, (ii) presented the specific chemical structure of such Collaboration Compound to Schering, and (iii) provided Schering with sufficient quantities (as determined by the JSC) of such Collaboration Compound for Schering to commence its evaluation pursuant to the Research Plan. For purposes of Section 6.2(d), the potential for [**] shall be deemed to have been demonstrated if either (x) the clinical study results indicate [**], or (y) Schering or its Affiliates or Sublicensees commence a Pivotal Trial for a Schering Viral Product that includes a [**] for such product. 39 EXECUTION VERSION For purposes of this Section 6.2, (xx) a clinical trial will be deemed to have commenced upon administration of the first dose to the first patient enrolled in the trial, and (yy) in the United States, an NDA shall be deemed to have been "filed" on the earlier of (i) receipt by Schering of written notice from the FDA of acceptance for filing of the applicable NDA, or (ii) [**] following the filing of such NDA submission without the receipt by Schering during such [**] period of a "Notice of Refusal to File" from the FDA with respect to such NDA. Milestone payments pursuant to this Section 6.2 will not be subject to any offset, credit, reduction or repayment for any reason whatsoever. 6.3 Approval Milestone Payments for a Second Schering Viral Product. As further consideration for the rights granted to it by PTC under the Schering Licenses, within [**] following the first occurrence of the relevant events specified below, Schering shall pay to PTC the following amounts:
MILESTONE AMOUNT --------- ------ [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**])
For purposes of this Section 6.3, a "Second Schering Viral Product" means a Schering Viral Product that contains a different Collaboration Compound from the first Schering Viral Product to achieve Regulatory Approval for the treatment of HCV in the relevant market. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the milestone payments set forth in this Section 6.3 shall be payable only once, regardless of the number of Schering Viral Products that achieve Regulatory Approval for the treatment of HCV and shall not be payable with respect to Regulatory Approvals for any indication other than the treatment of HCV. Furthermore, [**] percent ([**]%) of any milestone payments that are paid by Schering pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be fully creditable against any future royalties that are payable by it pursuant to Section 6.5 with respect to the Second Schering Viral Product. Except as explicitly provided in the foregoing paragraph, milestone payments pursuant to this Section 6.3 will not be subject to any offset, credit, reduction or repayment for any reason whatsoever. 6.4 Sales Milestones. As further consideration for the rights granted to Schering under the Schering Licenses, Schering shall pay PTC each of the amounts specified below within [**] after the end of the calendar quarter in which any of the following thresholds are achieved: 40 EXECUTION VERSION
SALES THRESHOLDS AMOUNT ---------------- ------ [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**]) [**] [**] Dollars ($ [**])
It is understood that each of the above sales milestones shall be payable only once, regardless of the number of Schering Viral Products that achieve the applicable sales thresholds. Milestone payments pursuant to this Section 6.4 will not be subject to any offset, credit, reduction or repayment for any reason whatsoever. 6.5 Royalties Payable by Schering on Sales of Schering Viral Products. (a) Royalty on Net Sales. As further consideration for the rights granted to Schering under the Schering Licenses, Schering shall pay to PTC, on a Schering Viral Product-by-Schering Viral Product basis, the following incremental royalties based on Net Sales of such Schering Viral Product:
Net Sales Rate --------- ---- On the first [**] Dollars ($ [**]) in worldwide Net Sales of such Schering Viral Product [**] percent in a calendar year ([**]%) On worldwide Net Sales of the Schering Viral Product in excess of [**] Dollars ($ [**]) [**] percent but less than [**] Dollars ($ [**]) in a calendar year ([**]%) On worldwide Net Sales of the Schering Viral Product in excess of [**] Dollars ($ [**]) [**] percent but less than [**] Dollars ($ [**]) in a calendar year ([**]%) On worldwide Net Sales of the Schering Viral Product in excess of [**] Dollars ($ [**]) [**] percent but less than [**] Dollars ($ [**]) in a calendar year ([**]%) On worldwide Net Sales of the Schering Viral Product in excess of [**] Dollars ($ [**]) in [**] percent a calendar year ([**]%)
The royalty rates set forth in this Section 6.5(a) are subject to adjustment as set forth in Sections 6.5(b), 6.5(e) and 6.6, and are subject to any credit offset to which Schering is entitled pursuant to Section 6.3, 6.7 and 9.7(a), subject to the overall limits on certain adjustments and credits set forth in Section 6.8. (b) Know-How Royalty. In a country where (x) the sale of a Schering Viral Product would not infringe a Valid Claim of a PTC Patent or Joint Patent, Schering shall pay royalties at a rate that is [**]percent ([**]%) of the applicable royalty rate determined in accordance with Section 6.5(a); provided, however, the foregoing reduction shall not apply so long as the Schering Viral Product is entitled to Marketing Exclusivity in such country, and there 41 EXECUTION VERSION are no other products on the market in such country that contains, as one of its active ingredients, the same Active Ingredient that is contained in the Schering Viral Product. (c) Duration of Obligation to Pay Royalties. (i) Schering's obligation to pay royalties for any Schering Viral Product pursuant to Section 6.5(a) shall remain in effect on a country-by-country basis until the later of (A) the expiration of the last to expire PTC Patent (including any Joint Patent) in such country which contains a Valid Claim which claims such Schering Viral Product or its use in the Viral Field or for the approved indication, or (B) the expiration of any Marketing Exclusivity for such Schering Viral Product in such country (or, if earlier, the date of the First Commercial Sale of a Third Party product in such country that contains, as one of its active ingredients, the same Active Ingredient that is contained in the Schering Viral Product).[**] (ii) Schering's obligation to pay royalties for any Schering Viral Product pursuant to Section 6.5(b) shall remain in effect until [**] after the First Commercial Sale of any Schering Viral Product in such country which contains the same Collaboration Compound as that which is contained in the Schering Viral Product. (iii) The obligation to pay royalties pursuant to Section 6.5 is imposed only once with respect to the same unit of a Schering Viral Product, and there are no circumstances under which royalties are payable pursuant to both Sections 6.5(a) and 6.5(b) with respect to the sale of the same unit. (d) Paid-up License. Upon expiration of the royalty term for a Schering Viral Product in a country as described in Section 6.5(c)(i) or 6.5(c)(ii), whichever is later, Schering shall thereafter have a fully paid-up, non-exclusive license to PTC Know-How to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, and import such Schering Viral Product in that country in the Field. (e) Adjustment to Royalty Rates. With respect to each country in the Territory, on a country-by-country basis, the royalty payable pursuant to Section 6.5(a) (but not Section 6.5(b)) with respect to any Schering Viral Product shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%) the first time that Third Party total unit sales of any products having the same Collaboration Compound as that which is contained in such Schering Viral Product in such country exceed [**] percent ([**]%) of the total unit sales of such Schering Viral Product by Schering, its Affiliates and Sublicensees in that country during two consecutive calendar quarters (calculated on an equivalent per kilogram of Collaboration Compound basis). Thereafter, such royalties would be further reduced by an additional [**] percent ([**]%) for each additional [**] percent ([**]%) increase in the unit sales of such products by Third Parties in such country compared to the unit sales of Schering, its Affiliates and Sublicensees, so that upon such Third Party products reaching [**]% of total unit sales such royalty will reach (and be subject to) the [**]% limit set forth in Section 6.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.5(e) shall not apply with respect to any country in which royalties on Net Sales of a Schering Viral Product are determined under Section 6.6. 42 EXECUTION VERSION 6.6 Compulsory License. Schering and PTC shall use reasonable efforts to prevent any Third Party from obtaining or being granted a Compulsory License, and to the extent that a Third Party obtains or is granted such a Compulsory License, Schering and PTC will use reasonable efforts to limit or reduce the scope or applicability of such Compulsory License. If, notwithstanding Schering's and PTC's use of reasonable efforts, any Third Party obtains a Compulsory License, then PTC or Schering (whoever has first notice) shall promptly notify the other Party. If the royalty rate payable by the grantee of the Compulsory License is less than the effective royalty rates payable to PTC pursuant to Section 6.5 with respect to the applicable country (as such rates are adjusted by the other provisions of this Agreement), then the royalty rate payable by Schering with respect to such country shall automatically be reduced to [**]. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the royalties due PTC under Section 6.5 with respect to sales of a product by any compulsory licensee, Schering's Net Sales from such sales shall be calculated based solely on the actual royalty payments, if any, paid by the compulsory licensee to Schering under the Compulsory License. 6.7 Responsibility for Third Party Royalties. (a) In the event that, following the Effective Date, Schering believes that it is necessary or appropriate to obtain a license to one or more Specified Third Party Patents, it shall notify PTC and the Parties shall meet to discuss in good faith the basis for Schering's conclusion. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree on whether to enter into a Third Party License Agreement related to a Specified Third Party Patent, the Parties shall confer [**]. If, following such consultation, the Parties are still unable to agree upon whether to enter into such Third Party License Agreement, Schering shall [**] provided, that, if, within [**] of Schering notifying PTC in writing of such decision, PTC notifies Schering in writing [**], then Schering shall not enter into such Third Party License Agreement until the earlier of (i) [**] from the date of PTC's notice, or (b) the date PTC informs Schering [**]. If [**] within such [**] period, and Schering enters into such Third Party License Agreement, then any royalties, fees or other payments owing under such Third Party License Agreement that are in consideration for a Patent [**] and which claims the composition of matter of the relevant Highly Active Collaboration Compound or Schering Field NV Compound shall be credited at the rate set forth in Subsection 6.7(b)(y) of this Agreement rather than the rate that is set forth in Subsection 6.7(b)(x) of this Agreement; provided, however, that [**] pursuant to this Section 6.7(a), if as a result of any judgment in favor of, or settlement with, a Third Party pursuant to Section 9.7(a), Schering is required to pay to such Third Party royalties or other consideration related to such Third Party's Patents which claim the composition of matter of a Highly Active Collaboration Compound or Schering Field NV Compound, Schering shall be entitled to treat such payments pursuant to Section 6.7(b)(x). For the purposes of this Agreement, [**] pursuant to this Agreement with respect to a Highly Active Collaboration Compound (or, for the purposes of this Section 6.7(a) only, a Schering Field NV Compound) [**].

Any failure by a Party to make a payment within ten (10) Business Days after the date when due shall obligate such Party to pay interest, the interest period commencing on the due date and ending on the payment date. The applicable interest rate shall be two percent (2%) above the average rate of the one (1) month London Inter-Bank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") for Dollars, as quoted on the British Banker's Association's website currently located at www.bba.org.uk (or such other source as may be mutually agreed by the Parties) from time to time, effective for the applicable days of the period of default. For clarity, it is understood that the calculation of Net Sales will require an ongoing reconciliation process, and no interest shall be payable under this Section 6.12 with respect to any adjustments that are made from the initial statement of Net Sales, as applicable, for a particular calendar quarter so long as the calculation of Net Sales that was reflected in the initial royalty statement for such calendar quarter was made in good faith, and such adjustment is made on or before the later of (x) twelve (12) months from the date of the initial statement, and (y) three (3) months from the date that the applicable invoice or statement underlying the adjustment is received by Schering or PTC or each of their respective Affiliates or Sublicensees from the relevant Third Party (e.g., a Third Party payor in the case of a rebate). 6.13 Taxes.

Each Party shall file any applicable national, regional, and local tax returns on a basis consistent with this Agreement, and shall not take any action inconsistent with the other Party's entitlement to such tax benefits. In the event that a Party, in its reasonable judgment, determines that it must obtain information and verification regarding the use or application of such expenditures in order to prepare its tax returns or to respond to any inquiry during a tax audit or any other inquiry relating to such treatment of its tax return, or to defend its tax position in any proceeding including litigation, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with the requesting Party and furnish it with such information as it may reasonably require at the requesting Party's request and expense. 46 EXECUTION VERSION 6.15 Payment Currency. Except as otherwise noted, or as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties from time to time, all payments due hereunder will be paid in Dollars.

For the purposes of this Agreement, specific information disclosed as part of the Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain or in the prior possession of the receiving Party merely because it is embraced by more general information in the public domain or by more general information in the prior possession of the receiving Party. 7.3 Legal Disclosure. If the receiving Party becomes legally required to disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party (whether in response to a valid order of a court 48 EXECUTION VERSION or any governmental or regulatory body or otherwise required by Law), the receiving Party will give the disclosing Party prompt notice of such fact so that the disclosing Party may have an opportunity to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy concerning such disclosure. The receiving Party will reasonably cooperate with the disclosing Party in connection with the disclosing Party's efforts to obtain any such order or other remedy, at the expense of the disclosing Party. If any such order or other remedy does not fully preclude disclosure, the receiving Party will make such disclosure only to the extent that such disclosure is legally required and will use reasonable efforts to have confidential treatment accorded to the disclosed Confidential Information. 7.4 Permitted Use and Disclosures. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1, each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to its Affiliates, Sublicensees, consultants and outside contractors, on a need-to-know basis and on the condition that such entities or persons agree to confidentiality and non-use obligations with respect to the Confidential Information that are substantially the same as those undertaken by the receiving Party under this Article 7. In addition, either Party may disclose to Third Parties Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other Party to the extent such disclosure is (x) reasonably necessary in complying with applicable governmental regulations, including submitting information to tax or other governmental authorities, (y) reasonably necessary or useful in conducting Development or Commercialization of Collaboration Compounds or Licensed Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (z) reasonably necessary in otherwise exercising its rights hereunder. 7.5 Public Disclosure.

Except as otherwise required by Law, neither Party shall issue any additional press release or make any other public disclosure concerning this Agreement or the subject matter hereof without first providing the other Party with a copy of the proposed release or public disclosure for review and comment, provided that such right of review and comment shall only apply for the first time that specific information is to be disclosed, and shall not apply to the subsequent disclosure of substantially similar information that has previously been disclosed. The Party proposing to make the press release or other public disclosure shall give due consideration to any reasonable comments by the other Party relating to such proposed press release or other public disclosure. The principles to be observed by Schering and PTC in press releases or other public disclosures with respect to this Agreement shall be: accuracy, compliance with applicable legal requirements, the requirements of confidentiality under this Article 7 and normal business practice in the pharmaceutical industry for disclosures by companies comparable to Schering and PTC. For the avoidance of doubt, either Party may issue such press releases as it determines, based on advice of counsel, are reasonably necessary to comply with Law or for appropriate market disclosure. It is understood, however, that unless required by Law, the Parties shall not disclose the specific financial terms and conditions of this Agreement in any press release or other public disclosure. In addition, if a public disclosure is required by Law, including without limitation in a filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the disclosing Party shall provide copies of the proposed disclosure reasonably in advance of such filing or other disclosure for the non-disclosing Party's prior review and comment and shall give due 49 EXECUTION VERSION consideration to any reasonable comments by the non-filing Party relating to such filing, including without limitation the provisions of this Agreement for which confidential treatment should be sought. 7.6 Termination of Prior Agreement.

Upon the expiration of forty-five (45) days from transmission of such proposed disclosures to the Reviewing Party, the Publishing Party shall be free to proceed with the written publication or the oral presentation unless the Reviewing Party has requested the delay described above. If a trade secret that is the subject of a request made 50 EXECUTION VERSION under Section 7.7 cannot be otherwise protected without unreasonable expense to the Reviewing Party, such information shall be omitted from the publication. 7.9 Confidential Terms. Except as otherwise required by Law, the terms of this Agreement shall be considered Confidential Information of each Party. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1, each Party shall be entitled to disclose the terms of this Agreement to a Party's or its Affiliates' accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors, and any existing or potential bona fide investors, lenders, or acquirors, on the condition that such entities or persons agree to keep such terms confidential for the same time periods and to the same extent as such Party is required to keep such terms confidential.

If during the Research Term, the Parties mutually determine, in good faith, that the pursuit of Viral IRES Inhibitors for use in the Viral Field is impracticable for scientific or commercial reasons, or that the Research Program is not likely to lead to a Development Candidate, then upon such determination the Parties shall terminate this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.5(a), each Party shall as promptly as practicable provide to the other Party all copies of all data, reports, records and materials in its possession or control which relate to Collaboration Compounds or the Research Program and which have not previously been disclosed to the other Party (provided that the provision to a Party of the foregoing copies shall not be deemed to create any additional rights or licenses in any such copies or the intellectual property embodied therein, and such Party's rights to use or exploit such information and rights shall be solely as expressly granted by the disclosing Party to the other Party elsewhere in the Agreement and, with respect to Joint Know-How or Joint Patents, those rights of the receiving Party as a joint owner). In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 11.5(a), (i) Schering's rights under the licenses granted to it pursuant to Sections 5.1(a), 5.1(b) and 5.2 shall terminate, (ii) all Highly Active Collaboration Compounds shall thereafter be deemed to be NV Compounds, (iii) the Parties' licenses under the rights granted to each of them pursuant to Article 4A and Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5(c) and 5.5(d) shall survive termination, and (iv) in addition to the provisions set forth in Section 11.10, the provisions of Sections 6.7(d), 6.7(e), 6.7(f), and 6.9 through and including 6.17 shall continue to apply with respect to Schering's Development and Commercialization of Schering NV Products and PTC's Development and Commercialization of PTC Products. (b) Termination due to Publication of Third Party Patent Rights. In the event that, during the Research Term, a Patent (including without limitation a patent application) owned by a Third Party is either granted or published in a Major Market and such Patent claims (A) the composition of matter of, or pharmaceutical preparations containing, a substantial portion of the Highly Active Collaboration Compounds, or (B) the use of Highly Active Collaboration Compounds or pharmaceutical preparations containing Highly Active Collaboration Compounds in the Viral Field (a "Blocking Patent"), then the Parties shall confer in good faith and endeavor to agree upon an appropriate course of action. As part of such activities, the Parties shall, upon the request of either Party, seek the advice of an independent Third Party patent counsel mutually acceptable to the Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an appropriate course of action within ninety (90) days of conferring regarding the same, then Schering shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to PTC; provided, that, if, within ten (10) days of receiving such written notice PTC notifies Schering in writing that it intends to obtain an Unqualified Blocking Opinion with respect to such Blocking Patent, then such written notice of termination by Schering shall not be effective until the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days from the date of PTC's notice, or (ii) the date PTC informs Schering it is unable to obtain such Unqualified Blocking Opinion; and provided, further, if PTC obtains an Unqualified Blocking Opinion within such ninety (90) day period, then Schering shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.5(b). In the event of a termination under this Section 11.5(b), the provisions of Section 11.7 shall be applicable. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Unqualified Blocking Opinion" means an opinion concluding that there is not [**] would find that the activities of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement with respect to a Highly Active Collaboration Compound would infringe [**], and such opinion [**]. 62 EXECUTION VERSION 11.6 Early Termination of Research Program.

In the event that Schering exercises its right to terminate the provisions of Article 3, then the following additional provisions shall also terminate: Sections 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 4.8, 4.10(c), PTC's participation rights under Sections 4.10(b) and Section 4.13. In addition, should the PTC Triggering Event occur at any time prior to the expiration of the Research Term, Schering shall also have the right to terminate the Research Program upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to PTC. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.6(a) to the contrary, a PTC Triggering Event shall not include any internal PTC Research efforts not undertaken through, or as part of, a collaboration or licensing arrangement with a Third Party. For the avoidance of doubt, subcontracting to perform aspects of PTC's internal Research efforts on behalf of PTC shall not be deemed to be a collaboration or licensing arrangement with a Third Party. (b) Effect of Terminating the Research Program. Upon termination of the Research Program by Schering pursuant to Section 11.6(a), PTC shall promptly provide to Schering copies of all data, reports, records and materials in PTC's or its Affiliates possession or Control that relate to Collaboration Compounds or the Research Program to the extent not previously provided to Schering. The provision to Schering of the foregoing copies shall not be deemed to create any additional rights or licenses in any such copies or the intellectual property embodied therein, and Schering's rights to use or exploit such information and rights shall be solely as expressly granted by PTC to Schering in Article 5 and, with respect to Joint Know-How or Joint Patents, those rights of Schering as a joint owner. Upon such termination, (x) all of PTC's obligations under Article 2 (excluding Sections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.10) shall immediately terminate, (y) the following provisions shall terminate: Article 3, and Sections 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 4.8, 4.10(c), and PTC's participation rights under Sections 4.10(b), and (z) the Research Term shall terminate. For clarity, Schering's exercise of its rights under this Section 11.6 shall not terminate any other rights (including without limitation the licenses granted to Schering or PTC or their respective Affiliates pursuant to Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 hereof) or obligations of the Parties (including without limitation either Party's obligations pursuant to Article 6 hereof) under this Agreement. 11.7 Consequences of Certain Terminations by the Parties.

In the event PTC wishes Schering to attempt to obtain such an assignment or sublicense, then Schering shall use reasonable and diligent efforts to effect the same (it being understood that Schering shall have no obligation to pay any compensation to the Third Party, or to incur any unreimbursed expense, in order to obtain such assignment or sublicense and shall have no liability to PTC in the event such assignment or sublicense is not obtained despite such efforts) and PTC shall thereafter be responsible for paying any royalties, fees or other consideration due to the Third Party following the Termination Date under the applicable Third Party License Agreements. In the event PTC does not so notify Schering within the applicable [**] period, then Schering shall have no further obligations to PTC with respect to such Third Party License Agreements. (e) In partial consideration for the licenses granted to PTC pursuant to Section 11.7(b) and 11.7(c), PTC shall pay to Schering on a country-by-country and Schering Viral Product-by-Schering Viral Product basis, royalties on the Net Sales of any Schering Viral Product by PTC, its Affiliates or any Sublicensee.
