Any such written consent granted by Schering shall include the terms under which such development or commercialization may proceed.

(a) Evaluation of LTI. During the [***] period immediately after the Effective Date (the “Evaluation Period”) the Parties shall meet to discuss whether or not ViroPharma should be permitted to proceed with the development and commercialization of the Compound and Products in the Territory for the prevention or treatment of certain life-threatening disease or conditions caused by picornaviruses, which may include, without limitation, the ViroPharma Compassionate Use Indications (the “Life Threatening Indications” or “LTI”).

On or before the expiration of the Evaluation Period, Schering shall determine, based upon the discussions and risk assessment conducted by the Parties, whether or not the continued development and subsequent commercialization of the Compound and/or Products for LTI presents an unacceptable risk to the development and/or commercialization of the Compound and/or Products in the Field. Schering shall notify ViroPharma in writing of such determination on or before the expiration of the Evaluation Period.

(b) Decision on LTI. If Schering notifies ViroPharma that the risk to the Compound and/or the Products in the Field is unacceptable, then effective on the date of such notice to ViroPharma (the “Notice Date”), the Field shall be expanded to mean (i)

If the Field is expanded pursuant to Section 2.4(b), Schering covenants to ViroPharma that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary it shall not at any time during the term of this Agreement undertake any actions to develop or commercialize, or to license any third party to develop or commercialize, the Compound and/or the Products in the Territory for any indications within the Expanded Field other than for the treatment or prevention of the common cold, without the prior written consent of ViroPharma, which consent may withheld by ViroPharma in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the Parties reaching agreement on the terms for development and commercialization of such other indications.

(d) Effecting License. Notwithstanding the exclusive licenses granted to Schering by ViroPharma pursuant to Article 2, Schering grants to ViroPharma a limited license under the Patent Rights, Know-How and Trademarks in the Territory to make, have made, use, import and export, offer for sale and sell the Compound and the Products solely as permitted under Section 3.3. The licenses granted to ViroPharma under this Section 2.4(d) shall include the limited right to grant sublicenses to Third Parties contracted by ViroPharma or its Affiliates to perform services in connection with the development and/or commercialization of the Products in the Field in the Territory as permitted under Section 3.3. Any such sublicenses shall be granted solely for the purpose of, and only to the extent necessary to, enable such contractors to perform the relevant services for ViroPharma, shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the SaSy Agreement, and shall not include any right to grant further sublicenses. The Parties acknowledge that to the extent that any licenses are granted to ViroPharma pursuant to this Section 2.4(d), all such licenses and any sublicenses of such rights granted by ViroPharma to Third Parties shall immediately terminate in the event that that ViroPharma’s compassionate use programs are terminated, or transferred to Schering’s control, pursuant to Section 3.3.

2.5 Non-Compete. Effective as of the Effective Date, Schering and its Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, commercially market in the Territory, or manufacture for commercial marketing in the Territory, any Competing Product.

the breach of a material term of this Agreement by Schering, or if Schering terminates this Agreement pursuant to a unilateral termination right permitted to be exercised without cause (as defined below) and provided that there are Patent Rights in the United States having at least one Valid Claim that is a composition-of matter claim to the Compound, then the non-compete obligations set forth in this Section 2.5 shall survive such termination until the earlier of: (a) the two-year anniversary of the termination of this Agreement, or (b) the expiration of the period described in the preceding sentence. If Schering terminates this Agreement because of the breach of a material term of this Agreement by ViroPharma, then the non-compete obligations set forth in this Section 2.5 shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement.

Each Party shall cooperate with the other Party, to the extent necessary and permitted by applicable law, to assist the other Party in the preparation of its Report and to proceed to obtain necessary approvals under the HSR Act, including but not limited to the expiration or early termination of any and all applicable waiting periods required by the HSR Act. Schering shall be solely responsible for any filing fees required to be paid, or other costs and expenses incurred by Schering, in connection with any filing made by Schering pursuant to the HSR Act.

(a) Assistance by ViroPharma.

Schering’s obligations under Section 4.1 with respect to Products are expressly conditioned upon the continuing absence of any adverse condition or event that reasonably warrants a delay in the development or commercialization of the Compound and/or Product including, but not limited to, an adverse condition or event relating to the safety or efficacy of the Compound and/or Product, or unfavorable labeling, pricing or pricing reimbursement approvals, or lack of Regulatory Approval. Schering’s obligations to develop or market any such Compound and/or Product shall be delayed or suspended so long as in Schering’s reasonable opinion any such condition or event exists.

4.3 Diligence failure. If in ViroPharma’s reasonable opinion, Schering fails to comply with any of its diligence obligations under Section 4.1, then ViroPharma shall have the right to give Schering written notice thereof stating in reasonable detail the particular failure(s). Schering shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the receipt of such notice to correct the failure or, in the event that the failure cannot be reasonably cured within a thirty (30) day period, then Schering shall initiate actions reasonably expected to cure the failure within thirty (30) days of receiving notice and shall thereafter diligently pursue such actions to cure the failure (even if requiring longer than the thirty (30) days specified in this Section 4.3), but in any case within ninety (90) days from the receipt of such notice to correct the failure. In the event of a dispute as to whether or not Schering has failed to exercise due diligence under Section 4.1 or whether Schering is diligently pursuing actions reasonably expected to cure such failure under this Section 4.3, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13.4(a) below and Exhibit C attached hereto. If Schering does not cure such failure, or otherwise discontinues the reasonably diligent development or commercialization of Product in the Territory, this Agreement shall be terminated.

4.4 Use of Data by Sanofi-Synthelabo. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Schering grants to Sanofi-Synthelabo, directly, and through ViroPharma, the

exclusive right to use the R&D Results solely for use in applying for health registrations of Product outside the Territory. The rights granted under this Section 4.4 shall be subject to the payment of royalties to Schering under Section 6.11, and may be terminated by Schering on thirty (30) days notice of any uncured breach of Section 6.11.

4.5 License of Inventions to Sanofi-Synthelabo. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Schering grants to Sanofi-Synthelabo, directly, and through ViroPharma, the exclusive unrestricted right outside the Territory, to make, have made, use, market and sell products containing Product Improvements. The rights granted under this Section 4.5 shall be subject to the payment of royalties to Schering under Section 6.11, and may be terminated on thirty (30) days notice of any uncured breach of Section 6.11.

4.6 Reporting. Beginning on the Effective Date, Schering shall provide ViroPharma with semi-annual reports summarizing the status and progress of the research and development activities (including the status of any applications for Regulatory Approval) for the Product.

V.	MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY OF PRODUCTS

5.1 Technology Transfer. On or promptly after the Effective Date, ViroPharma shall arrange for a complete technology transfer to Schering or its designated Affiliate (a) such data and information in ViroPharma’s possession reasonably requested by Schering related to the processes and procedures for the manufacture, testing, handling, storage, formulation and packaging of the bulk active Compound and the finished Products, (b) the specifications and release testing for the Compound and Products, (c) complete copies of the CMC sections for all of ViroPharma’s INDs for the Compound and/or Products, and (d) samples of all available reference standards for the Compound and Products, including any known impurities and/or metabolites (the “Transfer Materials”). Within seven (7) business days after delivery of the Transfer Materials by ViroPharma to Schering, Schering shall inform ViroPharma of whether additional Transfer Materials are required, and if so, shall describe with particularity such additionally required Transfer Materials. The terms of the immediately preceding sentence shall also apply to any later deliveries of Transfer Materials delivered to Schering at their request. If Schering does not provide such notice to ViroPharma within such seven (7) business day period, then Schering shall be deemed to have such received such Transfer Materials required for it to make the determination regarding the Specifications described in Section 5.2 below. During the [***] period immediately following the Effective Date, ViroPharma shall, upon request, transfer to Schering any additional information described in Section 5.1(a) above not previously provided to Schering, and ViroPharma shall also, upon request by Schering, make reasonably available ViroPharma’s employees to Schering to discuss matters relating to the processes and procedures for the manufacture, testing, handling, storage, formulation and packaging of the bulk active Compound and the finished Products, and shall assist Schering in contacting ViroPharma’s Third Party manufacturing contractors involved with the manufacture of the Compound and/or Product, all as reasonably necessary to

[***]

advise and assist Schering or its designated Affiliate in the technology transfer, and the start-up and validation of the manufacturing process for the Compound and/or Products. Such access to personnel shall be during normal business hours and Schering shall pay ViroPharma for the reasonable travel costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such personnel, as well as a reasonable hourly rate to be agreed to by the Parties for the time of such personnel in excess of two hundred (200) hours during such [***] period, at Schering’s request in providing such advice and assistance. Following the successful completion of the technology transfer provided for under this Section 5.1, Schering (or its designated Affiliate or Third Party contractor) shall be responsible for the manufacture of all of Schering’s requirements for supplies of the Compound and the Product for the Territory in excess of the initial supplies to be provided by ViroPharma under Section 5.2

5.2 Initial Supplies of Compound. On or promptly after the Effective Date ViroPharma shall provide to Schering Corp [***] of bulk active Compound. ViroPharma shall ship the Compound FCA (Incoterms 2000) to a facility to be designated in writing by Schering Corp. ViroPharma shall include with such shipment a certificate of analysis for each batch of the Compound certifying that it meets the Specifications and a letter from each facility that manufactured the Compound stating that it was manufactured in accordance with cGMP Requirements. Upon receipt, Schering Corp shall inspect the Compound and shall notify ViroPharma in writing of any batch(es) of the Compound that Schering Corp determines do not meet the Specifications within ten (10) business days after the later of Schering’s receipt of: (a) the batch(es), or (b) Schering Corp’s receipt such Transfer Materials that are reasonably necessary for Schering Corp to make such determination (the “Specifications Notice”).

5.3 Cost of Initial Supplies. In consideration for the supply of bulk active Compound to be provided by ViroPharma pursuant to Section 5.2, Schering Corp shall pay to ViroPharma six million US dollars (US$6,000,000) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the bulk active Compound pursuant to Section 5.1. To the extent that any batch(es) of such Compound are determined by the Parties not to meet Specifications and/or cGMP Requirements, the amount payable to ViroPharma under this Section 5.3 shall be reduced by the pro-rata percentage of such amount attributable to the non-conforming batch(es). Schering Corp shall be deemed to have accepted (the “Accepted Batches”): (a) all batch(es) delivered by ViroPharma if Schering Corp does not deliver to ViroPharma the Specifications Notice as described in Section 5.2, or (b) such batch(es) of the Compound that Schering Corp does not identify and reject in the Specifications Notice as described in Section 5.2 as having failed to meet the Specifications, and ViroPharma shall have no further liability or obligation to Schering with respect to the Accepted Batches.

5.4 Compliant Manufacture. Schering, or its designated Affiliate, shall have the right to manufacture the Compound and the Product for distribution, use and/or sale in the Field in the Territory and may contract with one or more Third Party manufacturers to manufacture the Compound and/or Product for and on behalf of Schering; provided that the use of Third Party manufacturers to manufacture the Compound and/or Product shall be subject to the prior consent of Sanofi-Synthelabo as set forth in Section 2.3 above. Schering covenants that Product will be manufactured in compliance with the then current specifications for the Product and with current laws, rules and regulations

[***]

applicable to drug substances in the Territory, including, but not limited to cGMP Requirements. Schering shall identify to Sanofi-Synthelabo and ViroPharma each manufacturing facility used for the production or packaging of Compound and Product. Schering shall provide (and shall ensure that its Third Party manufacturing contractors provide) Sanofi-Synthelabo with reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written request, to have an observer inspect any manufacturing facility used for the production or packaging of Compound and Product, and to examine all technical records related to the manufacture of Compound and/or Product, and shall provide Sanofi-Synthelabo with reasonable samples of Compound and Product upon request. Sanofi-Synthelabo’s rights to inspect facilities and examine records under this Section 5.4 shall be limited to one time per calendar year. Schering shall promptly notify Sanofi-Synthelabo and ViroPharma of any inspections related to the Compound or Products by the relevant government agencies having competent jurisdiction, and shall promptly inform Sanofi-Synthelabo and ViroPharma about any material observations related to the Compound or Product. Schering shall notify Sanofi-Synthelabo and ViroPharma of any remarks which may have been made by government inspectors during their visit to any facilities involved in the manufacture of Product, and on any appropriate actions taken in response thereto; provided, however, that such obligation to notify shall be limited to only those remarks and responses that are specifically and directly related to the manufacture of the Compound and/or Product. Prior to conducting any inspection of facilities and examination of records pursuant to this Section 5.4, Sanofi-Synthelabo shall enter into a confidentiality agreement with Schering to protect any of Schering’s confidential information disclosed or made available to Sanofi-Synthelabo in connection therewith.

5.5 Recall. Schering shall immediately notify Sanofi-Synthelabo and ViroPharma in writing as soon as it becomes aware of any defect or condition that may render a Compound or Product subject to recall or product correction pursuant to any country’s law, rules and regulations. Schering shall be solely responsible for the handling of any and all recalls or withdrawals of the Product distributed and/or sold by or on behalf of Schering or its Affiliates in the Territory. Schering shall be solely responsible for the costs and expenses of any such recall or withdrawal in the Territory.

5.6 Adverse Events and Product Complaints.

(a) Adverse Event Reporting. Schering will be responsible for reporting all Adverse Events to the appropriate regulatory authorities in the countries in the Field and in the Territory in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of the relevant authorities. Schering will ensure that its Affiliates comply, and its applicable sublicense agreements with its sublicencees require such sublicenses to comply, with all such reporting obligations. Each Party will designate a safety liaison to be responsible for communicating with the other Party regarding the reporting of Adverse Events.

(b) AE Exchange Agreement. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, ViroPharma and Schering work together to negotiate and enter into safety data exchange agreement governing the coordination of collection, investigation, reporting, and exchange of information concerning Adverse Events sufficient to permit each Party to comply with its legal obligations. The safety data exchange procedures will include provisions for the timely

transfer of information regarding Adverse Events between Sanofi-Synthelabo and the Parties and the Parties shall work together to negotiate such provisions with Sanofi-Synthelabo. The safety data exchange procedures will be promptly updated if required by changes in legal requirements or by agreement between the Parties. Until such time as such an agreement has been completed, the Parties will in good faith cooperate to exchange such information on a timely basis in order to ensure that each of Schering, ViroPharma and Sanofi-Synthelabo can fulfill its regulatory reporting obligations with respect to Products (whether in or outside the Territory). Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, each of Schering and ViroPharma sending to the other Party within three (3) business days a completed CIOMS/MEDWATCH report for all Serious AEs related to Products of which it becomes aware. All AEs which are not Serious AEs shall be sent to the other Party on a monthly basis in the form of a line-listing. Any reports of Adverse Events pursuant to this Section 5.6(b) shall be sent to the parties representatives identified in Exhibit D, attached hereto.

(c) Product Complaints. Schering shall be responsible for handling all Product complaints arising in the Territory with respect to Product manufactured, distributed and/or sold by Schering or its Affiliates in the Territory. Schering shall share with Sanofi-Synthelabo and ViroPharma all data on Product complaints.

5.7 Notification of Manufacturing Changes. Schering shall notify Sanofi-Synthelabo and ViroPharma of any steps taken by Schering with the regulatory authorities in the Territory in order to change, alter or modify the manufacturing process and/or the formulation of the Product. ViroPharma shall use its diligent efforts to have Sanofi-Synthelabo similarly notify Schering of any analogous activities undertaken by Sanofi-Synthelabo with respect to the pleconaril products outside the Territory.

5.8 Request for Contract Manufacture of Product. At the request of Sanofi-Synthelabo, Schering shall enter into good-faith negotiations with respect to an agreement to manufacture and supply Compound and/or Product to Sanofi-Synthelabo for use outside the Territory. However, nothing in this Section 5.8 shall be construed as creating any obligation for either Schering or Sanofi-Synthelabo to enter into to such an agreement, or as otherwise obligating Schering or its Affiliates to manufacture or supply any quantities of Compound and/or Products to ViroPharma or any Third Party, including without limitation Sanofi-Synthelabo.

5.9 Trademark Usage. Each package of Product distributed and/or sold by or on behalf of Schering or its Affiliates in the Territory shall include the wording “Under license from SANOFI-SYNTHELABO”, or such other similar statement that Sanofi-Synthelabo may reasonably request, including without limitation references to patent numbers; provided, however, that any such wording complies with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements in the Territory for such labeling. To the extent that Schering uses the Trademarks in connection with the development, manufacture or sale of the Compound and/or Products in the Territory, Schering shall conform to any Trademark usage guidelines provided by Sanofi-Synthelabo, and shall submit at Sanofi-Synthelabo’s request, to be made no more than two times each year, samples of packaging and promotional material bearing Trademarks, in each case to the extent such Trademarks are owned by Sanofi-Synthelabo. In addition, Schering shall have the right to register, maintain, defend and use its own trademarks for the development, manufacture and

commercialization of the Compound and/or Products in the Field in the Territory (the “Schering Trademarks”). The Schering Trademarks shall be owned by Schering and shall not be subject to or within the scope of any rights granted under Sections 4.4 or 4.5.

VI.	PAYMENTS AND ROYALTIES

6.1 License Fee. In partial consideration for the licenses and other rights to be granted to Schering and its Affiliates under this Agreement, Schering Corp shall pay a one-time license fee to ViroPharma of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) within [***] after the Effective Date.

6.2 Milestone Payments. Schering Corp shall pay to ViroPharma the following milestone payments:

(i)

[***] upon filing and acceptance by the FDA of an NDA to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Product in the United States;

(ii)

[***] upon approval by the FDA of an NDA for marketing and sale of the Product in the United States;

(iii)

[***] upon the first achievement of [***] in cumulative Net Sales of the Products in the Territory; and

(iv)

[***] upon the first achievement of [***] in cumulative Net Sales of the Products in the Territory.

Each of the foregoing milestone payments shall be payable once upon the first occurrence of the relevant milestone event, and no additional payments shall be due upon any repeated occurrence of such event with respect to the same Product or a different Product. Schering Corp shall notify ViroPharma in writing within [***] after the first occurrence of each of the foregoing milestone events and payment of the relevant milestone payment shall be due within [***] after such notice.

6.3 Royalty Payments. In partial consideration for the licenses and other rights granted to Schering under this Agreement, Schering Corp, SPL or SPL’s Affiliate, as applicable in the manner determined in Section 6.6 below, shall pay to ViroPharma the following royalties on Net Sales of Products in the Territory:

(i)

a royalty of [***] of Net Sales for the licenses granted under the Patent Rights (the “Patent Royalty”); and

(ii)

a royalty of [***] of Net Sales for the licenses granted to Know-How and Trademarks (the “Trademark Royalty”). For the sake of clarity, the Trademark Royalty is payable in part for the right to exclude others from using the Trademarks in the Territory and for the right to use the Know-How in support

[***]

regulatory approvals for the Product in the Territory. Consequently, the Trademark Royalty shall be payable without regard to whether Schering itself uses the Trademarks, for example, if Schering uses the Schering Trademarks, or sells a generic form of the Product.

For purposes of clarity and avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that during any period of time where both Patent Royalties and Trademark Royalties are payable on sales of a given Product in a country in the Territory, both such royalties shall be due on Net Sales of the Product in such country during such period such that Schering’s total royalty obligation with respect to such sales during such period shall be [***] of Net Sales. None of the foregoing royalties shall be due upon the sale or other transfer among Schering, its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees, but in such cases the royalty shall be due and calculated upon Schering’s or its Affiliates’ Net Sales to the first independent Third Party. No royalties shall accrue on the disposition of Product by Schering, its Affiliates or sublicensees (1) as samples (promotion or otherwise), (2) as donations (for example, to non-profit institutions or government agencies for a non-commercial purpose, or distribution under compassionate use or indigent care programs where Schering receives no net proceeds as a result of such distribution), or (3) for clinical studies, and in each case such dispositions of Product shall not be included in the determination of Net Sales. The Parties acknowledge that Schering Corp will be responsible for royalty payments due on sales of Products in the United States and SPL shall be responsible for royalty payments due on sales of Products in Canada.

6.4 Duration of Royalty Obligations. Schering’s obligation to pay Patent Royalties under Section 6.3 shall begin with the First Commercial Sale of a Product in the Territory and shall expire on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis upon expiration of the last to expire of the Patent Rights in the relevant country having at least one Valid Claim. Schering’s obligation to pay Trademark Royalties under Section 6.3 shall begin with the First Commercial Sale of a Product in the Territory, shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, and shall endure for so long as Schering or its Affiliates sell Products in the Territory to unaffiliated Third Parties, without regard to under which trademark or trademarks, if any, Schering sells such Products. It is further acknowledged and agreed that Schering’s obligation to pay the Trademark Royalty to ViroPharma pursuant to Section 6.3(ii) shall not be affected or reduced in the event of any expiration, lapse or invalidation of the Trademarks in the Territory. Schering agrees that it shall not directly or indirectly initiate or undertake any legal action to seek the termination, invalidation, revocation or any reduction of its obligation to pay the Trademark Royalty to ViroPharma pursuant to Section 6.3(ii) with respect to any sales of Product in the Territory; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply in the event of any termination of this Agreement by Schering due to the breach of a material term of this Agreement by ViroPharma.

6.5 Royalty Reporting/Payments. Following the First Commercial Sale of a Product in the Territory, Schering shall furnish to ViroPharma written reports for each calendar quarter showing the Net Sales of Product(s) sold by Schering and/or its Affiliates in the Territory during such calendar quarter and the royalties payable under this Agreement for such calendar quarter. Schering shall provide such quarterly reports to ViroPharma (i) with respect to sales in the United States within [***] following the close of each calendar quarter, and (ii) with respect to

any sales in the Canada within [***] following the close of each calendar quarter. Within [***] following the close of each calendar quarter, Schering shall pay to ViroPharma, for the account of Schering or the applicable Affiliate, as the case may be, a sum equal to the aggregate royalty due for such calendar quarter calculated in accordance with this Agreement (and reconciled for

[***]

any previous overpayments or underpayments). Following the First Commercial Sale of Product, Schering shall provide ViroPharma with semi-annual reports on Schering’s marketing activities for Product.

6.6 Manner of Payment. The license fee, milestone payments and royalty payments to be made to ViroPharma under this Agreement shall be paid by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as is designated in writing by ViroPharma from time to time. Royalties shall be deemed payable by the entity making the Net Sales from the country in which earned in local currency and subject to foreign exchange regulations then prevailing. The license fee, milestone payments and all royalty payments based upon sales in the United States shall be paid by Schering Corp. All royalty payments based upon sales in Canada shall be paid by SPL or its designated Affiliate. Royalty payments shall be made in United States dollars to the extent that free conversions to United States dollars is permitted. The rate of exchange to be used in any such conversion from the currency in the country where such Net Sales are made shall be the rate of exchange used by Schering Corporation for reporting such sales for United States financial statement purposes. If, due to restrictions or prohibitions imposed by national or international authority, payments cannot be made as aforesaid, the Parties shall consult with a view to finding a prompt and acceptable solution, and Schering will deal with such monies as ViroPharma may lawfully direct at no additional out-of-pocket expense to Schering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if royalties in any country cannot be remitted to ViroPharma for any reason within six (6) months after the end of the calendar quarter during which they are earned, then Schering shall be obligated to deposit the royalties in a bank account in such country in the name of ViroPharma.

6.7 Recordkeeping. Schering and its Affiliates shall keep complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the royalties payable hereunder to be determined. Upon [***] prior written notice from ViroPharma, Schering shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by ViroPharma, at ViroPharma’s expense, to have access during normal business hours to examine pertinent books and records of Schering and/or its Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports hereunder. The examination shall be limited to pertinent books and records for any year ending not more than [***] prior to the date of such request. An examination under this Section 6.7 shall not occur more than once in any calendar year. Schering may designate competitively sensitive information, which such auditor may not disclose to ViroPharma; provided, however, that such designation shall not encompass the auditor’s conclusions. The accounting firm shall disclose to ViroPharma only whether the royalty reports are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to ViroPharma. All such accounting firms shall sign a confidentiality agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Schering) as to any of Schering’s or its Affiliate’s confidential information which they are provided, or to which they have access, while conducting any audit pursuant to this Section 6.7. ViroPharma shall be permitted to share the results of any audit under this Section 6.7 with Sanofi-Synthelabo provided such results are subject to appropriate confidential treatment by Sanofi-Synthelabo.

[***]

6.8 Underpayments/Overpayments. If upon completion of an audit pursuant to Section 6.7 the accounting firm concludes that additional royalties were owed during the period audited, Schering shall pay the additional royalties within thirty (30) days of the date ViroPharma delivers to Schering such accounting firm’s written report so correctly concluding. If such underpayment exceeds [***] of the royalty correctly due ViroPharma then the fees charged by such accounting firm for the work associated with the underpayment audit shall be paid by Schering. Any overpayments by Schering will be credited against future royalty obligations. In the event that Schering disagrees with the audit report and the chief financial officers of Schering and ViroPharma (or their designees) fail to resolve such disagreement, the dispute will be resolved through the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Section 13.4(a) and Exhibit C. Upon the expiration of [***] months following the end of any calendar year, the calculation of royalties payable under this Agreement with respect to such year shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties, and the Parties shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect to royalties for such calendar year.

6.9 Withholding. If at any time, any jurisdiction in the Territory requires the withholding of income taxes or other taxes imposed upon payments set forth in this Article 6, Schering shall make such withholding payments as required and subtract such withholding payments from the relevant payments, or if applicable, ViroPharma will promptly reimburse Schering or its designee(s) of the amount of such payments, it being understood that such withholding taxes are the obligation of ViroPharma. Schering shall provide ViroPharma with documentation of such withholding and payment in a manner that is satisfactory for purposes of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Any withholdings paid when due hereunder shall be for the account of ViroPharma and shall not be included in the calculation of Net Sales. To the extent that payments of withholding taxes made by Schering pursuant to this Section 6.9 are based upon financial information provided to Schering by ViroPharma and, to the extent that such information is incorrect or incomplete, ViroPharma shall be liable for any fine, assessment or penalty, or any deficiency, imposed by any taxing authority for any deficiency in the amount of any such withholding or the failure to make such withholding payment. If Schering is required to pay any such deficiency, or any such fine, assessment or penalty for any such deficiency, ViroPharma shall promptly reimburse Schering for such payments, which shall not be included in the calculation of Net Sales. The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent that the withholding of income taxes or other taxes is imposed upon any royalty payment to ViroPharma based on sales in Canada pursuant to this Article 6 solely due to the fact that such payments are made by SPL or another Affiliate of Schering located outside of Canada, SPL shall “gross up” such payment to ViroPharma such that ViroPharma receives the full amount of such payment which is otherwise due to ViroPharma hereunder (i.e., net of such taxes).

6.10 Third Party Royalties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that ViroPharma shall be solely responsible at its expense for any licensee fee, milestone payments, royalties or other compensation due and owing under any contracts between ViroPharma and Third Parties that are existing as of the Effective Date and that grant

[***]

intellectual property licenses that are necessary for the manufacture, distribution, use and/or sale of the Compound or Formulation by Schering or its Affiliates in the Field in the Territory, including without limitation, any payments due to Sanofi-Synthelabo under the SaSy Agreement. Responsibility for any Product Improvement Licenses or New Licenses (each as defined below) shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Sections 6.10(a), 6.10(b) and 6.10(c), as applicable.

(a) Product Improvement Licenses. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Schering shall be solely responsible for negotiation of any intellectual property licenses entered into by Schering or its Affiliates after the Effective Date that Schering believes are necessary or useful due to the use of one or more Product Improvements in connection with the manufacture, distribution, use and/or sale of the Product by Schering or its Affiliates in the Field in the Territory (“Product Improvement Licenses”). Schering and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for the payment of any licensee fee, milestone payments, royalties or other compensation due and owing to any Third Party in connection with any Product Improvement Licenses.

(b) New Licenses. In the event that either Party believes that any new licenses under Third Party patents or other intellectual property rights covering Pleconaril, the Formulation, or the manufacture or use thereof (excluding any Product Improvement Licenses), are required for the manufacture, distribution, use and/or sale of Products containing Pleconaril or the Formulation by Schering or its Affiliates in the Field in the Territory (“New Licenses”) it shall promptly notify the other Party to that effect. As soon as possible following such notice, the Parties shall meet to agree on the need for such New Licenses and the appropriate scope of such New Licenses. If the Parties agree that any such New License is required to avoid liability for infringement of such Third Party patents or other intellectual property rights (other than any such infringement related to Product Improvements), then the Parties shall cooperate in the negotiation of such New License with Schering having primary responsible for the negotiation of such New Licenses. Schering shall keep ViroPharma fully informed during the negotiation of any New Licenses agreed to by the Parties, and shall reasonably consider any comments provided by ViroPharma regarding the terms and conditions of such New License. Except as provided in Section 6.10(c), Schering and its Affiliates shall not enter into any New License without ViroPharma’s prior written approval of the financial terms of such New License (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). Schering and ViroPharma shall [***] responsibility for the payment of any licensee fee, milestone payments, royalties or other compensation due and owing to any Third Party in connection with any New Licenses agreed to by the Parties and approved by ViroPharma pursuant to this Section 6.10(b).

(c) Disagreements Regarding New Licenses. In the event that ViroPharma does not agree with Schering that a New License is required to avoid liability for infringement of such Third Party patents or other intellectual property rights (other than any such infringement related to Product Improvements), Schering shall have the right to negotiate and enter into such New License without ViroPharma’s prior review or approval. In addition, either Party shall have the right to

[***]

submit such disagreement to binding arbitration pursuant to Section 13.4(b). If the arbitrator decides that the New License was required to avoid liability for infringement of such Third Party patents or other intellectual property rights (other than any such infringement related to Product Improvements) then ViroPharma shall be solely responsible for the payment of any licensee fee, milestone payments, royalties or other compensation due and owing to the Third Party in connection with the New License. Alternatively, if the arbitrator decides that the New License was not required to avoid liability for infringement of such Third Party patents or other intellectual property rights (other than any such infringement related to Product Improvements) then Schering and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for the payment of any licensee fee, milestone payments, royalties or other compensation due and owing to the Third Party in connection with the New License.

6.11 Sanofi-Synthelabo Royalties. In consideration for the phase III clinical studies and other development activities related to the Compound and/or the Products to be performed by Schering pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement and the rights to be granted by Schering under Sections 4.4 and 4.5, Schering shall be entitled to receive, and ViroPharma shall promptly pay to Schering an amount equal to [***] of all royalties or other compensation due from Sanofi-Synthelabo to ViroPharma in consideration for “Development Work” (as defined in the SaSy Agreement), as provided in Sections 3.3 and Section 5.1(c) of the SaSy Agreement. The Parties may elect to offset any payments due from ViroPharma under this Section 6.11 against Schering’s payment obligations under Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 of this Agreement.

VII.	CONSISTENCY AND COMPLIANCE WITH SASY AGREEMENT

7.1 General. If any provision of this Agreement would be inconsistent with, or result in a breach of the SaSy Agreement, the Parties will negotiate in good faith and shall replace such provision with another provision that is consistent with, and does not result in a breach of, the SaSy Agreement.

7.2 Combination Products. Schering and its Affiliates may not market a Combination Product in the Territory except as set forth in Section 5.2 of the SaSy Agreement. In the event that Schering and its Affiliates undertake to develop and commercialize a Combination Product in the Territory, then ViroPharma and Schering shall collaborate to negotiate (pursuant to Section 5.2(d) of the SaSy Agreement) a reduction in the royalties payable by ViroPharma to Sanofi-Synthelabo with respect to sales of such Combination Product. If the royalties payable by ViroPharma to Sanofi-Synthelabo with respect to net sales of such Combination Product are reduced, then Schering and ViroPharma shall amend this Agreement to ensure that the royalty rates used herein are reduced by the same amount (as an example, for the sake of clarity, if the aggregate royalty rate in the SaSy Agreement is reduced from [***], then the Parties shall amend this Agreement to reduce the aggregate royalty rate in this Agreement from [***]).

[***]

7.3 Disclosure of Agreement. Notwithstanding any confidentiality provisions in this Agreement, Schering agrees to permit the disclosure of this Agreement to Sanofi-Synthelabo.

7.4 Regularization of License Agreement and SaSy Agreement. The Parties shall use their diligent efforts to work together in good faith to establish mutually acceptable practices and arrangements with Sanofi-Synthelabo concerning:

(a)

adverse event reporting, and specifically the use of forms and systems consistent with those used by Schering;

(b)

the maintenance of a global safety database for pleconaril;

(c)

the ability of Schering to use contract manufacturers meeting pre-determined standards to manufacture Product, without further approval of Sanofi-Synthelabo; and

(d)

the reciprocal disclosure between Sanofi-Synthelabo and Schering of issues concerning the manufacture by either of them or their sublicensees of Product.

VIII.

(i)

the breach by ViroPharma of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement;

(iii)

any and all claims made, or that could be made, in the case Purdue Research Foundation v. Sanofi-Synthelabo, S.A., No. 03CV01924 (D.D.C. filed Sept. 16, 2003), but only to the extent that Sanofi-Synthelabo indemnifies ViroPharma against such liability, loss, damage, cost, and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees); or

(iv)

any and all claims resulting from the distribution of any quantities of Product in the Territory by or on behalf of ViroPharma in connection with the ViroPharma Compassionate Use Indications; provided, however, that if Schering takes control of such compassionate use programs pursuant to Section 3.3, ViroPharma shall not have any indemnification obligations under this Section 9.1(iv) with respect to any such claims arising from distribution of Product for the ViroPharma Compassionate Use Indications after Schering takes control of such programs.

(iii)

any claims of any nature to the effect that any Schering Trademark used by Schering, its Affiliates, or its sublicensees in connection with the promotion, marketing or sale of any Product pursuant to this Agreement infringes the rights of any Third Party; or

The foregoing notwithstanding, failure of the indemnified Party to provide such notice shall not constitute a waiver of, or result in the loss of, such Party’s right to indemnification under Section 9.1 or 9.2, as appropriate, except to the extent that the indemnifying Party’s rights, and/or its ability to defend against such liability or claim, are materially prejudiced by such failure to notify.

The indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any suit or claim related to the liability if it has assumed responsibility for the suit or claim in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified Party, such suit or claim involves an issue or matter which could have a materially adverse effect on the business operations or assets of the indemnified Party, the indemnified Party may waive its rights to indemnity under this Agreement and control the defense or settlement thereof, but in no event shall any such waiver be construed as a waiver of any indemnification rights such Party may have at law or in equity. If the indemnifying Party defends the suit or claim, the indemnified Party may participate in (but not control) the defense thereof at its sole cost and expense.

9.4 Settlements. Neither Party may settle a claim or action related to a liability or claim which is subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, if such settlement would impose any monetary obligation on the other Party or require the other Party to submit to an injunction or otherwise limit the other Party’s rights under this Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any payment made by a Party to settle any such claim or action shall be at its own cost and expense.

9.5 Limitation of Liability. With respect to any claim by one Party against the other arising out of the performance or failure of performance of the other Party under this Agreement, the Parties expressly agree that the liability of such Party to the other Party for such breach shall be limited under this Agreement or otherwise at law or equity to direct damages only (subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.5) and in no event shall a Party be liable for any punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits.

(a) Liability with Respect to Accepted Batches. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that ViroPharma’s (including its directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates) aggregate total liability to Schering, whether based upon one or more claims or actions of contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability or other tort, or otherwise, with respect to any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses or other amounts, arising in connection with, out of, or in any way relating to the Accepted Batches, shall under no circumstances exceed [***], and even then only to the extent that:

[***]

(i)

such liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses or other amounts reflect amounts actually paid by Schering to a Third Party in respect of damages and/or liabilities that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by the fact that the Accepted Batches were not, at the time of their original manufacture, manufactured in accordance with cGMP Requirements then in effect; or

(ii)

it is determined by a governmental or regulatory authority in the Territory that the Accepted Batches were not, at the time of their original manufacture, manufactured in accordance with cGMP Requirements then in effect.

for other Party’s business, or (iv) if all or substantially all of the other Party’s business is subject to attachment or similar process; provided, however, in the case of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding or any attachment or similar process, such right to terminate shall only become effective if such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof (each event described in this Section 12.4, an “Insolvency Event”).

(a) Schering’s Rights to Intellectual Property. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all of the rights and licenses granted to Schering under this Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes (including without limitation for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and any analogous laws in any other country in the Territory) to be licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(52) of the Bankruptcy Code, and that Schering shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation Section 365(n).

Whenever ViroPharma or any of its successors or assigns provides to Schering any of the intellectual property licensed hereunder (or any embodiment thereof) pursuant to this Section 12.4(a), Schering shall have the right to perform the obligations of ViroPharma hereunder with respect to such intellectual property, but neither such provision nor such performance by Schering shall release ViroPharma from any such obligation or liability for failing to perform such obligations.

(b) Extent of Schering’s Rights. All rights, powers and remedies of Schering provided for in Section 12.4 are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including, without limitation, under the Bankruptcy Code). Upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event by ViroPharma, Schering, in addition to the rights, power and remedies expressly provided herein, shall be entitled to exercise all other such rights and powers and resort to all other such remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity (including, without limitation, under the Bankruptcy Code) in such event. The parties agree that they intend the foregoing Schering rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by law, including, without limitation, for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code: (i) the right of access to any intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) of ViroPharma, or any Third Party with whom ViroPharma contracts to perform an obligation of ViroPharma under this Agreement which is necessary for the development, registration, manufacture and/or marketing of Compounds and/or Products in the Field in the Territory; and (ii) the right to contract directly with any Third Party described in (i) to complete the contracted work.

12.5 Effect of Breach or Termination of the SaSy Agreement.

(a) Breach of the SaSy Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon termination (but not expiration) of the SaSy Agreement. In the event that ViroPharma becomes aware (whether through receipt of notice of termination from Sanofi-Synthelabo or otherwise) of any breach or anticipated breach by ViroPharma of any of its material obligations under the SaSy Agreement (including without limitation any failure to make royalty payments to Sanofi-Synthelabo for any reason including an Insolvency Event involving ViroPharma), ViroPharma shall notify Schering within two (2) business days of the nature of such breach and the steps to be initiated by ViroPharma to cure the breach and provide Schering with a copy of the termination notice, if applicable. In addition, if ViroPharma reasonably believes that any notice of breach and/or termination of the SaSy Agreement received from Sanofi-Synthelabo is not factually and/or legally justified, it shall promptly notify Schering if ViroPharma intends to contest the alleged breach and/or Sanofi-Synthelabo’s right to terminate the SaSy Agreement (a “Contested Breach”), which notice shall include a description of the factual and legal arguments supporting ViroPharma’s position.

(b) Schering’s Right to Cure. Following ViroPharma’s receipt of a written notice from SaSy of ViroPharma breach’s of the SaSy Agreement (other than a Contested Breach which shall be subject to the terms of Section 12.5(c)), if ViroPharma fails to cure any such breach of the SaSy Agreement at least five (5) business days prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period for the breach as provided under the SaSy Agreement, then Schering shall have the right to immediately undertake any actions, in its name or in the name of ViroPharma, that Schering considers reasonably necessary to cure the breach on behalf of ViroPharma in order to avoid termination of the SaSy Agreement. Schering’s rights under this Section 12.5(b) shall include, without limitation, the right to make on ViroPharma’s behalf any royalty payments or other payments to Sanofi-Synthelabo that are due under the SaSy Agreement. ViroPharma shall fully cooperate with Schering in connection with the performance of any activities undertaken by Schering pursuant to this Section 12.5(b). Nothing in this Section 12.5(b), or any actions undertaken by Schering pursuant hereto, shall be construed as a waiver, or as otherwise releasing, ViroPharma from any liability under this Agreement, or otherwise at law or equity, resulting from any breach of its obligations under this Agreement. In addition, to the extent that Schering makes any royalty payments or other payments to Sanofi-Synthelabo under the SaSy Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.5(b) in order to avoid termination of the SaSy Agreement and retain Schering’s rights and licenses under this Agreement, (1) Schering shall have the right to deduct any such payments to Sanofi-Synthelabo from any of its payment obligations to ViroPharma under Article VI of this Agreement, and (2) Schering and its Affiliates shall have no further obligations to ViroPharma, and ViroPharma shall have no right to receive any further payments from Schering, with respect to any such deducted amounts. In addition, ViroPharma shall, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of detailed invoices to be provided by Schering, pay to Schering an amount equal to the total of: (x) any royalty payments or other payments to Sanofi-Synthelabo that are due under the SaSy Agreement and that are made by Schering to Sanofi-Synthelabo pursuant to this Section 12.5(b); and (y) any other documented reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Schering or its Affiliates in curing a breach of

the SaSy Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.5(b), other than any payment made by Schering to Sanofi-Synthelabo in excess of the amount described in the foregoing clause (x) of this Section 12.5(b).

(c) Contested Breach. With respect to any Contested Breach of the SaSy Agreement, Schering rights under Section 12.5(b) to undertake actions necessary to cure the alleged breach shall not apply during the pendency of any ongoing arbitration or other dispute resolution proceedings between ViroPharma and Sanofi-Synthelabo with respect to such alleged breach. ViroPharma shall keep Schering reasonably informed as to the status of such dispute resolution proceedings and shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement to resolve such dispute without Schering’s prior written consent if such settlement or resolution would result in: (i) the termination of the SaSy Agreement; (ii) the loss of all or any portion of the license rights granted to Schering under this Agreement; (iii) the imposition of any injunction or other restrictions that could adversely affect the development or commercialization of the Products by Schering in the Field in the Territory; or (iv) the imposition of any additional payment obligations of other financial obligations upon Schering or its Affiliates. In the event that any such dispute resolution proceedings result in a decision that ViroPharma is in breach of the SaSy Agreement, then ViroPharma shall promptly notify Schering to that effect and Schering’s rights under Section 12.5(b) shall become fully effective with respect to the Contested Breach as of the date of such decision.

(d) Exception for Insolvency Events. The provisions of Section 12.5(c) shall not apply with respect to any Contested Breach to the extent that (1) ViroPharma is subject to an Insolvency Event and (2) the Contested Breach relates to a failure by ViroPharma to make payments to Sanofi-Synthelabo under the SaSy Agreement. In such event, Schering’s rights under Section 12.5(b) to make payments to Sanofi-Synthelabo on behalf ViroPharma to avoid termination of the SaSy Agreement and to deduct those payments from Schering’s obligations to ViroPharma under this Agreement shall be fully exercisable at any time whether or not ViroPharma is contesting the alleged breach.

(e) Breach Caused by Schering. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 12.5(a), 12.5(b), 12.5(c) and 12.5(d), to the extent that a breach or anticipated breach of the SaSy Agreement is caused by a breach by Schering of one or more of its obligations under this Agreement, Schering’s rights under the aforementioned Sections shall not apply and the provisions of Sections 12.3 shall govern. In addition, in the event that Schering becomes aware of any breach or anticipated breach by Schering of any of its material obligations under this Agreement that causes or may cause a breach of the SaSy Agreement, Schering shall notify ViroPharma within two (2) business days of the nature of such breach and the steps to be initiated by Schering to cure such breach.

(f) Failure to Notify. The Parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will ViroPharma have any liability to Schering or its Affiliates as a result of any failure by ViroPharma to notify Schering hereunder of a breach or anticipated breach of the SaSy Agreement to the extent that such breach is due, in whole or in part, to the acts or omissions Schering. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will Schering have any liability to ViroPharma or its Affiliates as a result of any failure by

Schering to notify ViroPharma hereunder of a breach or anticipated breach of this Agreement that causes or may cause a breach of the SaSy Agreement to the extent that such breach is due, in whole or in part, to the acts or omissions ViroPharma.

12.6 Effects of Termination. The terms of this Section 12.6 shall govern the rights and obligations of the Parties following the termination (but not expiration) of this Agreement.

The following additional provisions shall only apply in the event of: (1) any termination of this Agreement under Section 12.2; (2) termination of this Agreement by ViroPharma under Section 12.3 as a result of breach by Schering; or (3) termination of this Agreement by ViroPharma under Section 12.4 as a result of an Insolvency Event involving Schering. The provisions of this Section 12.6(a) shall not apply in the event of expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1 or upon any termination of this Agreement by Schering under Section 12.3 (as a result of breach by ViroPharma) or Section 12.4 (as a result of an Insolvency Event involving ViroPharma).

Upon written request by ViroPharma, and to the extent permissible under applicable law, Schering shall transfer and deliver the Remaining Inventory to ViroPharma, or its designee. ViroPharma shall reimburse Schering for all such materials at an amount equal to [***] of Schering’s fully burdened cost of goods for such materials, such payment to be made within thirty (30) days after ViroPharma’s receipt of such materials; provided that, if ViroPharma terminates this Agreement under Section 12.3 as a result of breach by Schering, then ViroPharma shall reimburse Schering for all such materials at an amount equal to [***] of Schering’s fully burdened cost of goods.

(iv)

If a Third Party is manufacturing Product for Schering, then upon ViroPharma’s request, Schering will assign to ViroPharma Schering’s rights and obligations in any agreement that Schering enters into with a Third Party manufacturer of Product. If Schering is itself manufacturing

Product for Commercial Sale, and:

(A)

if Schering terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2 above, or if ViroPharma terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.4 above due to a Schering

[***]

Insolvency Event, then Schering and ViroPharma shall enter into good-faith negotiations with respect to an agreement to manufacture and supply Compound and/or Product to ViroPharma; provided, however that nothing in this Section 12.(vi)(a)(iv) shall be construed as creating any obligation for either Schering or ViroPharma to enter into to such an agreement, or as otherwise obligating Schering or its Affiliates to manufacture or supply any quantities of Compound and/or Products to ViroPharma; or

(B)

if ViroPharma terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.3 then upon ViroPharma’s request, Schering shall supply Product to ViroPharma for [***] from the date of such notice of termination under commercially reasonable terms and conditions to be negotiated by the Parties in good faith.

(v)

Schering shall reasonably cooperate with ViroPharma with respect to the prompt transfer of the manufacturing process and related know-how to ViroPharma or its designated Third Party manufacturing contractor.

(vi)

In the event such termination occurs after the First Commercial Sale of the Product in the Territory, then Schering shall, upon request, provide ViroPharma with the then current promotional materials developed by or for Schering for use in connection with the marketing, advertising and promotion of the Product in the Territory.

(vii)

In the event such termination occurs before the First Commercial Sale of the Product in the Territory, then effective upon ViroPharma’s request following such termination, Schering hereby grants ViroPharma, or its designee, an exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license, with the right to sublicense, under all of Schering’s applicable intellectual property rights to (1) all Product Improvements and (2) the R&D Results, in connection with the development of the Product in the Territory, for the sole and exclusive purpose of enabling ViroPharma (or its Affiliates) to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import or export such Products in the Field in the Territory. Nothing in Article X above shall limit or restrict ViroPharma’s use of the Product Improvements or the R&D Results upon the grant of the license to ViroPharma described in this Section 12(a)(vii), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article X.

[***]

(viii)

In the event such termination occurs after the First Commercial Sale of the Product in the Territory, then effective upon ViroPharma’s request following such termination, Schering hereby grants ViroPharma, or its designee, a perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive license, with the right to sublicense, under all of Schering’s applicable intellectual property rights to (1) all Product Improvements, (2) the R&D Results and (3) any Schering Trademarks then being used in connection with the development, marketing and sale of the Product in the Territory, for the sole and exclusive purpose of enabling ViroPharma (or its Affiliates) to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import or export such Products in the Field in the Territory. Solely in the case of a termination by Schering under Section 12.2 above or a termination by ViroPharma under Section 12.4 due to a Schering Insolvency Event, any such licenses shall be subject to the payment to Schering (or its designated Affiliate) of a royalty on all Net Sales of the Product in the Field in the Territory determined with reference to the royalty rates set forth below:

Schering shall have audit rights on terms and conditions analogous to those set forth in Sections 6.7 and 6.8. Nothing in Article X above shall limit or restrict ViroPharma’s use of the Product Improvements or the R&D Results upon the grant of the license to ViroPharma described in this Section 12(a)(viii), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article X. For purposes of clarity, any royalties payable under this Section 12.6(a)(viii) are separate and distinct from, and shall have no affect upon, any royalties payable to Schering under Section 6.11.

(ix)

In the event that termination occurs after the First Commercial Sale of the Product in the Territory, then Schering shall, upon request, grant to ViroPharma the limited, royalty-free right to use Schering’s or its Affiliates’ name and/or logos to the extent the

[***]

such name and logos are incorporated in any existing promotional materials, labeling or packaging for the Product in the Territory. Any such rights of use shall be granted solely to the extent reasonably necessary to enable ViroPharma to continue to distribute, market and sell the Product in the Field in the Territory following such termination.
