the option granted in this Section 4.1 shall expire.
4.2 PAYMENTS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER GENENTECH LICENSE. If Connetics
exercises such option as set forth in Section 4.1 above:
(i) In the event that Connetics or a Dermatology Sublicensee achieves one of
the milestones set forth in Sections 8.2(a) or (b) of the Genentech
License with respect to its Licensed Protein Product, Connetics or such
Dermatology Sublicensee shall inform InterMune thereof and provide such

(ii) In the event that milestone payments to Genentech as set forth in
Sections 8.1 (c) and (d) of the Genentech License are triggered by the
sale of Licensed Protein Product by both Connetics and InterMune (and/or
their sublicensees) in the Territory, the Parties shall promptly meet and
in good faith determine a fair apportionment between the Parties of the
payment to be made to Genentech for such milestone based upon the
relative Net Sales of each Party for such calendar year or other agreed
upon method of apportionment. Connetics shall then submit to InterMune
its portion of such milestone payment in accordance with the terms of the
Genentech License, and InterMune agrees to render such payment to
Genentech on behalf of Connetics.
(b) ROYALTIES. Connetics shall be responsible for making all payments due (i)
to Genentech under Section 8.3 of the Genentech License, and (ii) to
Genentech or any other Third Party under Section 8.4 of the Genentech

BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
7.
Licensed Protein Product can be used in the other Party's field of use as
provided hereunder. If a Party cannot so formulate a particular Licensed
Protein Product, then such Party agrees to use its Best Efforts to
prevent sales of such Licensed Protein Product for use in the other
Party's field of use, including without limitation instructing its sales
forces, and requiring all sublicensees to instruct their sales forces,
that such Licensed Protein Product is not to be promoted, marketed or
sold for use in the other Party's field of use.
(b) In the event that either Party determines that a Licensed Protein Product
is being used in a field of use other than for which it was intended,
such Party shall immediately inform the other Party. The Parties shall
then promptly meet and diligently and in good faith determine a fair and
reasonable mechanism for equitable allocation of the sales of such
Licensed Protein Product that are used outside the field of use for which
they are intended.
4.4 PATENT COSTS. If Connetics exercises the option set forth in Section 4.1,

(a) One million two hundred thousand dollars ($1,200,000) within thirty (30)
days following the date on which the first NDA or BLA for a
Licensed Protein Product is filed with the FDA by Connetics for an
indication in the Dermatology Field.
(b) Two million dollars ($2,000,000) within thirty (30) days following
the date Connetics receives FDA clearance for each new indication
in the Dermatology Field of a Licensed Protein Product for commercial
sale in the United States.
4.6 DERMATOLOGICAL INDICATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE DERMATOLOGY FIELD.
(a) It is the intention of the Parties that Connetics shall be InterMune's
preferred marketing partner for sales of Licensed Protein Product to
dermatologists in the United States during the term of this Agreement.
Therefore, during the term of this Agreement, if either Party desires to
sell Licensed Protein Product to dermatologists in the United States for
use for indications that are outside of the Dermatology Field but within
the IG Field (an "Outside Indication"), the provisions of this Section
4.6 shall apply.
(b) In the event that either Party desires to sell a Licensed Protein Product
for an Outside Indication to dermatologists in the United States during
the term of this Agreement, such Party shall give the other Party written
notice of such interest, which notice shall specify the indication of
interest. If InterMune notifies Connetics that InterMune itself desires
to sell such Licensed Protein Product for an Outside Indication directly
to dermatologists in the United States, then the procedures of subsection
(d) shall apply. Otherwise, for ninety (90)
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
8.
days following receipt of such notice, the Parties shall exclusively
negotiate in good faith for the reasonable commercial terms under which
Connetics shall exclusively sell such Licensed Protein Product for such
Outside Indication to dermatologists in the United States. In the event
that, at the end of such ninety (90) day period, the Parties have failed
to enter into a written agreement on such commercially reasonable terms,
Connetics' rights with respect to the sale of such Licensed Protein
Product for such Outside Indication shall terminate and InterMune shall
have no further obligations to Connetics under this Section 4.6 with
respect to such Licensed Protein Product for such Outside Indication
except as set forth is subsections (c) and (d) below.
(c) If the Parties have failed to enter into an agreement by the end of such
ninety (90) day period, as described in subsection (b) above, InterMune
shall then have the right during the following one hundred eighty (180)
day period to enter into an agreement with a Third Party for the sale to
dermatologists of such Licensed Protein Product for such Outside
Indication on economic terms that, taken as a whole, are substantially
the same as, or more favorable to InterMune than, those last offered in
writing by Connetics for such rights pursuant to subsection (b) above. If
at the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period InterMune has not
entered into an agreement with a Third Party to sell such Licensed
Protein Product for such Outside Indication to dermatologists in the
United States, then the procedures set forth in subsection (b) above
shall again apply, provided that InterMune may proceed alternatively
under subsection (d) below.
(d) If InterMune itself desires to sell such Licensed Protein Product to
dermatologists in the United States for Outside Indications, then upon
written notice from InterMune, Connetics and InterMune shall enter into
good faith negotiations, for a period of ninety (90) days from Connetics'
receipt of such notice, for the reasonable commercial terms upon which
InterMune shall grant to Connetics the rights to co-promote such Licensed
Protein Product for such Outside Indication to dermatologists in the
United States. InterMune agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold
its agreement to such commercially reasonable terms. In the event that,
at the end of such ninety (90) day period, the Parties have failed to
enter into a written agreement for such co-promotion rights, InterMune
shall have no further obligations to Connetics under this Section 4.6
with respect to such Licensed Protein Product for such Outside
Indication, PROVIDED THAT InterMune may not enter into an agreement with
a Third Party for the rights to co-promote Licensed Protein Product for
such Outside Indication to dermatologists in the United States on
economic terms that, taken as a whole, are less favorable to InterMune
than those last offered in writing by Connetics for such rights. In the
event that InterMune does not enter into such a co-promotion agreement
with a third party and instead solely promotes and sells such Licensed
Protein Product for such Outside Indication to dermatologists in the
United States itself, if at any time following such sole promotion and
sale InterMune determines in its sole discretion that it desires to grant
a license to the rights to promote and sell the rights to co-promote such
Licensed Protein Product for such Outside Indication to dermatologists in
the United States to another party (other than an Affiliate), then the
procedures set forth in subsection (b) above shall apply.

InterMune Net Sales in the United States for the twelve (12) month period

[ * ], then:
(i) InterMune may, at its election, pay fifty percent (50%) of the Remaining
Payment either in cash or in Preferred Shares of InterMune stock at the
fair market value of such shares, determined as the average closing price
of such shares over the previous thirty (30) day period; and
(ii) With respect to the other fifty percent (50%) of the Remaining Payment,
Connetics may, at its election, receive such fifty percent either in
cash or in Preferred Shares of InterMune stock at the fair market value

Connetics, all payments owed by Connetics to Genentech under Sections 8.2

reasonable additional actions as may be reasonably required to achieve

9. CONFIDENTIALITY
9.1 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OBLIGATIONS. As used herein, "Confidential
Information" means all information that a Party discloses to the other
Party under this Agreement or had disclosed to the other Party under the
Original Agreement, provided that Confidential Information shall not
include such information excluded under Section 9.2. Except to the extent
expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by
the Parties, each Party agrees that, during the term of this Agreement
and for five (5) years after the expiration or termination of this
Agreement, it shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise
disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as provided for in
this Agreement any Confidential Information furnished to it by the other
Party pursuant to this Agreement.
9.2 EXCEPTIONS. The obligations set forth in Section 9.1 shall not apply to
any Information that the receiving Party can demonstrate by competent
evidence:
(a) was already known to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation
of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the other Party;
(b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public
domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving Party by the other
Party;
(c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public
domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of
the receiving Party in breach of this Agreement;
(d) was disclosed to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation of

to the disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others; or
(e) is independently developed by the receiving Party without using any of
the other Party's Confidential Information.
9.3 TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT. The Parties agree that the terms of the Agreement
will be considered Confidential Information of both Parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall have the right to disclose

party receiving such Confidential Information to keep such information
confidential.
9.4 PERMITTED DISCLOSURE. Notwithstanding the limitations in this Article 9,
each Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the other
Party (or otherwise subject to this Article 9), to the extent such

COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

disclosure and endeavor in good faith to secure confidential treatment of such
information. In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to

redacted in any filings made by a Party with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission or as otherwise required by law.
10. TERMINATION
10.1 TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term of this Agreement shall expire, unless
earlier terminated as provided by Section 10.2 below, upon expiration or
termination of the Genentech License.
10.2 TERMINATION FOR MATERIAL BREACH. If either Party shall default in a
material manner with respect to any material provision of this Agreement
and the other Party shall have given the defaulting Party written notice
of such default, the defaulting Party shall have thirty (30) days to cure
such default. If such default is not cured within such thirty (30) day
period, the non-defaulting Party shall have the right, upon notice to the
defaulting Party and without prejudice to any other rights the
non-defaulting Party may have, to terminate this Agreement unless the
defaulting Party is in the process of attempting in good faith to remedy
such default, in which case, the thirty (30) day cure period shall be
extended by an additional thirty (30) days. Any material default by
InterMune in the performance of any material obligation under the
Genentech License assumed by InterMune pursuant to Section 3.7 of this

assume all obligations and be entitled to all rights of InterMune under
such agreement.

5.3, 6.1, and Articles 8, 9, 10 and 11 shall survive termination or
expiration of the Agreement.
10.5 ACCRUED RIGHTS AND SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. The termination or expiration
of the Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights,
which shall have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to such
termination or expiration, including any damages arising from any breach
hereunder. Such termination or expiration shall not relieve either Party
from obligations which are expressly indicated to survive termination or
expiration of the Agreement.
10.6 BANKRUPTCY RIGHTS. In the event that this Agreement is terminated or
rejected by a Party or its receiver or trustee under applicable
bankruptcy laws due to such Party's bankruptcy, then all rights and
licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by such Party to the
other Party are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of
Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code and any similar law or regulation
in any other country, licenses of rights to "intellectual property" as
defined under Section 101(52) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree
that all intellectual property rights licensed hereunder, including
without limitation any patents or patent applications in any country of a
Party covered by the license grants under this Agreement, are part of the
"intellectual property" as defined under Section 101(52) of the

Party under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, and any similar law or
regulation in any other country.

of the covenants or agreements herein set forth shall be deemed a waiver
as to any subsequent or similar breach or default.
11.2 ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns;
provided, however, that neither Party shall assign any of its rights and
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
Party, except as incident to the merger, consolidation, reorganization or
acquisition of stock or assets affecting substantially all of the assets
or actual voting control of the assigning Party. Any assignment or
attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this
Section 10.2 shall be null and void and of no legal effect.
11.3 NOTICES. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be
given to either Party hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been properly given and to be effective on the date of delivery if
delivered in person or by facsimile or five (5) days after mailing by
registered or certified mail, postage paid, to the other Party at the

Either Party may change its address for communications by a notice to the other
Party in accordance with this Section.
11.4 HEADINGS. The headings of the several sections are inserted for
convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to
affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
11.5 AMENDMENT. No amendment or modification hereof shall be valid or binding
upon the Parties unless made in writing and signed by both Parties.
11.6 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by the laws
of the State of California, U.S.A., as such law applies to contracts
entered into between and to be performed by California residents entirely
in the State of California.
11.7 DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
(a) In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or
in connection with any provision of this Agreement, or the rights or
obligations of the Parties hereunder, the Parties shall try to settle
their differences amicably between themselves by referring the disputed
matter to the President of InterMune and the Chief Executive Officer of
Connetics for discussion and resolution. Either Party may initiate such
informal dispute resolution by sending written notice of the dispute to
the other Party, and within ten (10) days after such notice such
representatives of the Parties shall meet for attempted resolution by
good faith negotiations. If such personnel are unable to resolve such
dispute within thirty (30) days of initiating such negotiations, either
Party may seek to have such dispute resolved by binding arbitration under
this Section 11.7. The arbitration shall be held in Palo Alto, California
according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association (the
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
18.
"Rules"). The arbitration will be conducted by a panel of three (3)
arbitrators who are knowledgeable in the subject matter that is at issue
in the dispute, are not affiliated directly or indirectly with either
Party, and are selected by mutual agreement of the Parties. Failing such
agreement, the arbitrators shall be selected appointed as provided in the
Rules. During the arbitration, the Parties shall have such discovery
rights as the arbitrators may allow, consistent with the discovery
permitted by the Federal Code of Civil Procedure. In conducting the
arbitration, the arbitrators shall apply the rules of evidence applicable
in California, and shall be able to decree any and all relief of an
equitable nature, including but not limited to such relief as a temporary
restraining order, a preliminary injunction, a permanent injunction, or
replevin of property, as well as specific performance. The arbitrators
shall also be able to award direct and indirect damages, but shall not
award any other form of damage (e.g., punitive or exemplary damages). The
reasonable fees and expenses, of the arbitrators, along with the
reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing Party (including all
expert witness fees and expenses), the fees and expenses of a court
reporter, and any expenses for a hearing room, shall be paid as follows:
If the arbitrators rule in favor of one Party on all disputed issues in
the arbitration, the losing Party shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of
such fees and expenses; if the arbitrators rule in favor of one Party on
some issues and the other Party on other issues, the arbitrators shall
issue with the rulings a written determination as to how such fees and
expenses shall be allocated between the Parties. The arbitrators shall
allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship
to the outcome of the arbitration, with the Party prevailing on more
issues, or on issues of greater value or gravity, recovering a relatively
larger share of its legal fees and expenses. The decision of the
arbitrators shall be final and may be entered, sued on or enforced by the
Party in whose favor it runs in any court of competent jurisdiction at
the option of such Party. Whether a claim, dispute or other matter in
question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations, which
statute of limitations also shall apply to any claim or disputes subject
to arbitration under this Section, shall be determined by binding
arbitration pursuant to this Section.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, either Party
may seek immediate injunctive or other interim relief without resort to
arbitration from any court of competent jurisdiction with respect to any
breach of Article 9 hereof, or as necessary to enforce and prevent
infringement of the patent rights, copyright rights, trademarks, trade
secrets, or other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by a
Party or its Affiliates.
11.8 FORCE MAJEURE. Any delays in performance by any Party under this
Agreement shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement if and to
the extent caused by occurrences beyond the reasonable control of the
Party affected, including but not limited to acts of God, embargoes,
governmental restrictions, fire, flood, explosion, riots, wars, civil
disorder, rebellion or sabotage. The Party suffering such occurrence
shall immediately notify the other Party as soon as practicable, and any
time for performance hereunder shall be extended by the actual time of
delay caused by the occurrence.
11.9 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. In making and performing this Agreement,
InterMune and Connetics act and shall act at all times as independent
contractors and nothing contained in

19.
this Agreement shall be construed or implied to create an agency,
partnership or employer and employee relationship between InterMune and
Connetics. At no time shall one Party make commitments or incur any
charges or expenses for or in the name of the other Party.
11.10 SEVERABILITY. If any part of this Agreement is declared invalid by any
legally governing authority having jurisdiction over either Party, then
such declaration shall not affect the remainder of the Agreement and the
Parties shall revise the invalidated part in a manner that will render
such provision valid without impairing the Parties' original interest.
11.11 CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. The rights, powers and remedies hereunder shall be in
addition to, and not in limitation of, all rights, powers and remedies
provided at law or in equity, or under any other agreement between the
Parties. All of such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative, and
may be exercised successively or cumulatively.
11.12 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute
together the same document.
11.13 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and any and all Exhibits referred to
herein, in conjunction with the other "Intercompany Agreements" (as that
term is described in the Collaboration Agreement), embodies the entire
understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of the
Intercompany Agreements, and supersedes and terminates all previous
communications, representations or understandings, either oral or
written, between the Parties relating to the subject matter of the
Intercompany Agreements.

Agreement, such sublicensee shall not have the right to perform the rights and
obligations of Connetics or InterMune under the Sections and Articles enumerated
above, and Genentech shall not have any obligation to deal directly with such
sublicensee. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 2.3(c), with
respect to any dispute concerning InterMune's performance, or alleged breach by
InterMune, of any applicable term of this Agreement, Genentech shall have the
right to deal directly with Connetics, and to proceed either against InterMune

transfer of technology or materials, including the supply of Interferon
Gamma-1B), Connetics shall give prompt notice to Genentech of such inability and
shall specify the amount of delay Connetics believes resulted from such event
within Genentech's control. Unless Genentech disagrees in writing on reasonable
grounds with the amount of such delay specified by Connetics, such Date of
Completion will automatically be extended by the length of time of the delay. In
the event Genentech disagrees in writing on reasonable grounds with the amount
of delay specified by Connetics, the Parties shall negotiate a new Date of
Completion in good faith.
(d) In the event that Connetics determines that it will
be unable to meet any Date of Completion for a Clinical Development Milestone
due to an event which would be considered a force majeure (as described in

(i) was known to the receiving Party at the time of
disclosure;
(ii) was generally available to the public or was
otherwise part of the public domain at the time of
disclosure or became generally available to the

8.0 Up-front Payment, Milestone Payments and Royalties
In consideration for the licenses granted to Connetics by Genentech
pursuant to Section 2.0 above, Connetics shall make the following payments to
Genentech:
8.1 Up-front Payment. Connetics shall issue to Genentech upon the
Original Closing Date (as defined in the Stock Agreement) shares of Connetics
Common Stock ("Original Issuance Shares" as defined in the Stock Agreement) with
a fair market value equal to two million dollars ($2,000,000), on the terms and
conditions set forth in the Stock Agreement. If, on the Second Closing Date (as
defined in the Stock Agreement), the aggregate market value of the Original
Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price (as defined in the Stock
Agreement)) is less than four million dollars ($4,000,000), Connetics shall
issue to Genentech upon the Second Closing Date the number of additional shares
of Connetics Common Stock (the ASecond Issuance Shares," as defined in the Stock
Agreement) equal to the lesser of: (i) the number of shares necessary to
increase the aggregate market value of the Original Issuance Shares (based on
the Second Issuance Price) plus the Second Issuance Shares (based on the Second
Issuance Price) to four million dollars ($4,000,000) or (ii) the number of
shares necessary to increase the aggregate number of the Company's shares of
Common Stock held by Genentech
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
38
(exclusive of any shares that Genentech has purchased from parties other than
the Company) to 9.9% of the Company's total outstanding shares of Common Stock
as of the close of business on the third trading day before the Second Closing
Date, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Agreement. In lieu of
all or any portion of the Second Issuance Shares that the Company is obligated
to issue to Genentech on the Second Closing Date, the Company may elect to pay
Genentech the cash value of such Second Issuance Shares (based on the Second
Issuance Price). The Original Closing and the Second Closing of the stock
issuances shall take place as described in the Stock Agreement. In the event
that Connetics does not issue to Genentech all of the Second Issuance Shares or
the cash value of the Second Issuance Shares, Genentech may, in addition to
other remedies available to it by law or in equity, immediately terminate this
Agreement and the licenses granted to Connetics hereunder. Such termination by
Genentech of the Agreement and the licenses hereunder does not discharge
Connetics' obligation to issue all of the Second Issuance Shares or to pay to
Genentech the cash value of the Second Issuance Shares. The up-front payment
shall not be creditable against any royalty payments owed by Connetics under
Sections 8.3 and 8.4 below.
8.2 Milestone Payments for Licensed Products. Connetics shall make
the following cash milestone payments to Genentech:
(a) [ * ] within thirty (30) days following the dates on
which each of the first three (3) NDA's or BLA's for a Licensed Product is filed
with the FDA by Connetics for a new indication in the Field of Use; provided
however, that such milestone payments shall not be paid
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
39
upon the filing of a NDA or BLA for an osteopetrosis or atypical mycobacterial
infection indication.
(b) [ * ] within thirty (30) days following the date
Connetics receives FDA clearance of each new indication for a Licensed Product
for commercial sale in the United States; provided however, that such milestone
payment shall not be paid upon receipt of FDA clearance for an osteopetrosis or
atypical mycobacterial infection indication.
(c) [ * ] within thirty (30) days following the first
date Connetics' aggregate Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the Territory
exceed [ * ] in any calendar year.
(d) [ * ] within thirty (30) days following the first
date Connetics' aggregate Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the Territory
exceed [ * ] in any calendar year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the expiration or revocation of the
last remaining issued patent within the Genentech Patent Rights during the term
of this Agreement, each of the milestones payments set forth in (a)-(d) above
thereafter shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%). Milestone payments shall not
be creditable against any royalty payments owed under Sections 8.3 and 8.4
below.
8.3 Royalties. Connetics shall pay Genentech the following
royalties on Net Sales of Licensed Products by Connetics and its sublicensees:
(a) For annual aggregate Net Sales of all Licensed
Products in the Territory of up to three million seven hundred thousand dollars
($3,700,000), a royalty rate equal to [ * ] of such Net Sales.
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
40
(b) In addition to the payment of the royalty rate
specified in (a) above, for annual aggregate Net Sales of all Licensed Products
in the Territory exceeding three million seven hundred thousand dollars
($3,700,000), a royalty rate equal to [ * ] of such Net Sales exceeding
$3,700,000.
(c) The above royalties shall be payable until the later
of: (i) the expiration or revocation of the last remaining issued patent within
the Genentech Patent Rights or (ii) twenty (20) years from the Effective Date of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the expiration of the last
to expire issued patent within the Genentech Patent Rights during the term of
this Agreement, thereafter each of the royalty rates set forth in (a) and (b)
above shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%).
8.4 Third-Party Royalties. If Genentech or Connetics is required
to pay any third party a royalty due to the manufacture, use, sale, offer for
sale or importation of a Licensed Product in the Territory for or by Connetics
or its sublicensees, Connetics shall be responsible for the payment of [ * ] of
such third-party royalty, provided however, that Connetics may deduct from the
royalties payable to Genentech under Section 8.3 above [ * ] of such third party
royalties incurred only due to use patents in the Field of Use in the Territory,
up to a maximum total deduction of [ * ] percentage points from the royalties
payable by Connetics to Genentech under Section 8.3. For purposes of
clarification, such deductions shall not apply to any benchmark payment under
the [ * ] License made by Connetics pursuant to Section 5.2(c) above. Attached
hereto as Exhibit G is a list of all such royalty obligations to third parties
known to Genentech as

41
of the Effective Date without diligent search. No later than thirty (30) days
from the Effective Date, Genentech shall complete a reasonable internal
investigation of its records and update Exhibit G, as necessary, to accurately
reflect all such royalty obligations to third parties to the best of Genentech's
knowledge; provided however, Connetics acknowledges that Genentech has no
obligation to conduct due diligence or any investigation with respect to third
party patent rights related to Licensed Products. Genentech shall notify
Connetics in writing during the term of this Agreement if it becomes aware of
any additional Genentech third party royalty obligations.
8.5 Royalty Payments. Royalty payments shall be made to Genentech
quarterly within ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar quarter for
which royalties are due. Each royalty payment shall be accompanied by a report
summarizing the total Net Sales during the relevant three-month period, and the
calculation of royalties, if any, due thereon pursuant to Section 8.3.
8.6 Taxes. Genentech shall pay any and all taxes levied on account
of, or measured by, any payment, including, without limitation, royalties, it
receives under this Agreement.
8.7 Termination. If the license granted to Connetics herein is
terminated by the Parties, Connetics shall have no obligation to make any
milestone or royalty payments to Genentech that has not accrued prior to the
effective date of such termination, but shall remain liable for all such
payments accruing prior to termination.

(b) Reports. Connetics shall within ninety (90) days
after the end of each calendar quarter beginning with the quarter of the first
commercial sale of Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Territory by
Connetics or its sublicensee, deliver to Genentech a true and accurate report,
setting forth such particulars of the business conducted by Connetics and its
sublicensees during the preceding quarter as are pertinent to an accounting for
Net Sales and deductible expenses under this Agreement. Such reports shall
include at least the following: (i) the total gross sales of Licensed Products
occurring during that calendar quarter, (ii) the allowable deductions therefrom,
(iii) the total Net Sales of Licensed Products occurring during that calendar

sublicensees hereunder in the research and development of Licensed Products, to
make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale or import Licensed Products and shall
be automatically granted a right to use all of Connetics' regulatory submissions
made by or on behalf of Connetics for Interferon Gamma and Licensed Products. If

utilizes such Connetics Knowhow, Genentech shall pay Connetics a royalty, under
terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, such royalty to
be commensurate with the value contributed by such Connetics Patent Rights and
Connetics Knowhow to such commercial product, but in no event shall such royalty
exceed two percent (2%) of Genentech's net sales of such commercial product. As
used herein, "net sales" shall have the equivalent definition given to Net Sales
in Section 1.25 above.
(b) Upon the effective date of termination by Genentech pursuant
to Section 11.2 above, Connetics shall promptly provide Genentech with copies of

the form existing as of the effective date of such termination, reasonably
necessary for Genentech to exercise its license rights under Section 11.3(a)
above. Such transfer shall be made in a timely and orderly fashion and in a
manner such that the value of what is being transferred is preserved in all
material respects. Connetics shall promptly take all appropriate and necessary
actions, including action before the involved regulatory agency, to effect
transfer to Genentech of, and shall also permit Genentech to reference, any FDA
submissions, including, without limitation, any PLA or BLA filed with the FDA
with respect to Licensed Products. Within ninety (90) days of such assignment

AMENDMENT NO. ONE
TO
LICENSE AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR INTERFERON GAMMA
("Amendment") is entered into effective December 28, 1998, between Genentech,
Inc. ("Genentech") and Connetics Corporation ("Connetics"). Terms not otherwise
defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings as defined in the License
Agreement.
R E C I T A L S
A. The parties have previously entered into a License Agreement effective
May 5, 1998, relating to interferon gamma (the "License Agreement"),
together with a Stock Purchase Agreement of even date (the "Stock
Agreement").
B. Pursuant to Section 2.3(c) of the License Agreement, Connetics had the
right to sublicense the Agreement to InterMune, and has in fact entered
into a sublicense to that effect dated August 21, 1998.
C. Pursuant to Section 8.1 of the License Agreement, and the terms of the
Stock Agreement, Connetics agreed to issue additional stock to
Genentech if certain conditions were not met by December 28, 1998, and
the parties anticipate that those conditions will not be met by that
date.
D. The parties desire to amend the License Agreement effective as of the
date first written above, on the terms forth in this Amendment, and
simultaneously with a corresponding Amendment Number One to the Stock
Purchase Agreement ("Stock Agreement Amendment").
NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Section 8.1 of the License Agreement is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

8.1 Up-front Payment. Connetics shall issue to Genentech upon the
Original Closing Date (as defined in the Stock Agreement) shares of
Connetics Common Stock ("Original Issuance Shares" as defined in the
Stock Agreement) with a fair market value equal to two million dollars
($2,000,000), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock
Agreement. If on the Notification Date or, if later, the Second Closing
Date (each as defined in the Stock Agreement Amendment), the aggregate
market value of the Original Issuance Shares (based on the Second
Issuance Price, as defined in the Stock Agreement Amendment) is less
than $4,000,000, then Connetics shall issue to Genentech on the Second
Closing Date that number of additional shares of its Common Stock (the
"Second Issuance Shares") equal to the lesser of: (i) the number of
shares necessary to increase the aggregate market value of the Original
Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price) and the Second
Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price) to $4,000,000; or
(ii) the number of shares (rounded to the nearest whole number )
necessary to increase the aggregate number of shares of Connetics
Common Stock held by Genentech (exclusive of any shares that Genentech
has purchased from parties other than Connetics) to 9.9% of Connetics'
total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on
the Notification Date or the Second Closing Date, if later. In lieu of
all or any portion of the Second Issuance Shares that Connetics is
obligated to issue to Genentech on the Second Closing Date, Connetics
may elect to pay Genentech the cash value of such Second Issuance
Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price). The Original Closing of
the stock issuances shall take place as described in the Stock
Agreement and the Second Closing of the stock issuances shall take
place as described in the Stock Agreement Amendment. In the event that
Connetics does not issue to Genentech all of the Second Issuance Shares
or the cash value of the Second Issuance Shares, Genentech may, in
addition to other remedies available to it by law or in equity,
immediately terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted to
Connetics under this Agreement. Such termination by Genentech of the
Agreement and the licenses hereunder does not discharge Connetics'
obligation to issue all of the Second Issuance Shares or to pay to
Genentech the case value of the Second Issuance Shares. The up-front
payment shall not be creditable against any royalty payments owed by
Connetics under Section 8.3 and 8.4 of this Agreement.
2. To the extent necessary, the remaining provisions of the License
Agreement are amended to reflect the revised definitions of Second
Closing Date and Second Issuance Shares, as modified by the Stock
Agreement Amendment.

Product in order to reduce or exhaust such existing inventory.
Under no circumstances, however, will Genentech be required to

shall pay Genentech's costs of correcting its reports to
federal agencies and will also pay any penalties or fees

Product to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Canada Limited ("Roche Canada") for distribution
to patients to whom there is a contractural or regulatory obligation to
supply Interferon Gamma-1B. Connetics also agrees that it or its
sublicensee will supply Genentech Finished Product free of charge to those
[ * ] oncology study patients (including [ * ] National Cancer Institute
oncology clinical trial patients) who are continuing to receive Interferon
Gamma-1B. Genentech shall supply a list of all such patients, and
information regarding the amount and destination of such Interferon
Gamma-1B, as soon as reasonably possible. After the end of the Distribution
Period, Connetics or its sublicensee shall supply Connetics Product, or
other Finished Product, to such patients and to Roche Canada in the same
quantities. No other right or license is implied or granted to Connetics or
its sublicensees to distribute Genentech Finished Product, or any other

program, Connetics (or its sublicensee) shall supply, at its
own cost, Genentech Finished Product and Finished Product to
such patients free of charge for a period of time ending not
later than December 31, 1999. Connetics (or its sublicensee)
shall notify such patients that such drug shall not continue
to be supplied free of charge by Genentech, Connetics or its
sublicensee, and Connetics or its sublicensee shall use its
best efforts to terminate such supply of drug before December

negotiated and executed by Roche Canada and Connetics.
(iv) Connetics, or its sublicensee, will supply Genentech
Finished Product and Finished Product to the [ * ] oncology
patients without charge to Genentech or to such patients. If,
however, Genentech has not extended the Field of Use of this
Agreement to the field of oncology within six (6) months of
the Effective Date of this Amendment No. 2, then Genentech
will reimburse Connetics, or its sublicensee, for the cost of
such Genentech Finished Product and Finished Product during
such six month period. If Genentech thereafter extends the
Field of Use to oncology, then as of the effective date of
such extension Connetics or its sublicensee will provide
Finished Product to such patients without charge to Genentech
or to such patients. If Genentech does not extend the Field of
Use to oncology, Connetics or its sublicensee will continue to
supply such oncology patients, but Genentech will reimburse
Connetics, or its sublicensee, for such drug in an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the price paid to
Genentech for such Genentech Finished Product and Finished
Product and the direct administrative and distribution costs
of providing such drug to such patient.
12. A new Section 4.3 is added to the License Agreement to read in its entirety
as follows:
4.3 (a) Genentech shall sell to Connetics, or its sublicensee,
Genentech's existing inventory of Genentech Product for commercial sale
solely for the treatment of infections associated with CGD. Connetics shall
pay a price for such Genentech Product equal to [ * ] percent [ * ] of
Genentech's Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost, plus [ * ] of Third Party
Manufacturing Royalties attributable to the manufacture or sale of such
Genentech Product.
(b) Genentech shall deliver Genentech Finished Product to
Connetics to a single destination in the United States chosen by Connetics,
by carrier identified by Connetics. Title and risk of loss as to all

Genentech Finished Product hereunder. As soon as reasonably possible after
each shipment of Genentech Finished Product, Genentech shall forward to
Connetics all customary documents concerning the shipment, including
Genentech's invoice relating to such shipment. To the extent possible, a
certificate of analysis will be included in each shipment. Where it is not
possible to include a certificate of analysis with a shipment, Genentech
shall furnish the same to Connetics as soon as reasonably possible.
(c) Payment by Connetics shall be made within sixty (60) days
after Connetics' receipt of Genentech's invoice for the supply of
Genentech Finished Product. All payments to Genentech by Connetics
under this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars by wire
transfer (or such other reasonable means as Genentech may direct) to
such United States bank account as Genentech may direct. If a wire
transfer is to be made, Connetics shall provide notice at least five
(5) days prior to the date of transfer of the amount of payment and the
date good funds will be received. Such notice shall be given to the
Treasurer of Genentech at the address set forth at the beginning of
this Agreement or such other address as Genentech may subsequently
direct.
(d) Genentech shall use its best efforts to maintain its Fully
Burdened Manufacturing Cost for Genentech Finished Product at or below
the benchmark costs of [ * ] dollars [ * ] per vial of Genentech
Finished Product (the "Benchmark Costs"). All the provisions of Section
2.6(e) of that certain Supply Agreement, dated May 5, 1998, between
Genentech and Connetics, shall apply to such Benchmark Costs herein.
(e) All transfer of Genentech Finished Product to Connetics or
its sublicensee hereunder shall be subject to the provisions hereof and
shall not be subject to the terms and conditions contained on any
purchase order or confirmation by Genentech, except insofar as any such
purchase order or confirmation establishes: (i) the quantity and form
of Genentech Product, (ii) the shipment date; (iii) the shipment routes
and destinations; or (iv) the carrier.
13. This Amendment supersedes in its entirety the Letter Agreement dated
December 3, 1998.

14. All other terms and provisions of the License Agreement, including all
exhibits to that Agreement, will continue in full force and effect as though
fully set forth in this Amendment. Nothing in this Amendment shall be construed
as affecting Connetics' obligations to be liable and responsible for the
performance of all of the obligations of Connetics and its sublicensees under

THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER THREE TO LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR INTERFERON GAMMA
("Amendment") is entered into effective April 27, 1999 (the "Amendment Effective
Date"), by and between Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech") and Connetics Corporation
("Connetics"). Genentech and Connetics may each be referred to herein as a

A. The Parties have previously entered into that certain License Agreement
for Interferon Gamma, dated May 5, 1998, as amended on December 23,
1998 and on January 15, 1999 (the "License Agreement").
B. Pursuant to Section 2.3(c) of the License Agreement, Connetics has the
right to sublicense certain of its rights under the Agreement to
InterMune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("InterMune"), and has in fact entered
into such sublicense to that effect dated August 21, 1998.
C. The Parties have entered into that certain letter agreement dated
January 5, 1999 and revised on March 1, 1999 (the "Letter Agreement"),
documenting the intent and agreement of Connetics and Genentech with
respect to certain additional rights to be granted to Connetics and its
sublicensees under the Genentech License, pending the preparation of an
amendment to the License Agreement.

COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
E. The Parties now desire to enter into a definitive amendment to the
License Agreement, as of the Amendment Effective Date, through which
Genentech shall grant, and Connetics and InterMune shall accept, such
certain additional rights under the License Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants
and conditions herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
Parties mutually agree as follows:
1. Terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings
defined in the License Agreement.
2. A new Section 1.7.1 is hereby added to read in its entirety as follows:
1.7.1 "Combination Product Adjustment" shall mean the
following: in the event that a Licensed Product is sold in the form of
a combination product containing one or more active ingredients or
components in addition to such Licensed Product, Net Sales for such
combination product will be adjusted by multiplying actual Net Sales of
such combination product by the fraction A/(A + B) where A is the
invoice price of the Licensed Product, if sold separately, and B is the
invoice price of any other active ingredient(s) or component(s) in the
combination, if sold separately. If, on a country-by-country basis, the
other active ingredient(s) or component(s) in the combination are not
sold separately in said country, Net Sales shall be calculated by
multiplying actual Net Sales of such combination product by the
fraction A/C where A is the invoice price of the Licensed Product if
sold separately, and C is the invoice price of the combination product.
If, on a country-by-country basis, neither the Licensed Product nor the
other active ingredient(s) or component(s) of the combination product
is sold separately in said country, Net Sales allocable to the Licensed
Product shall be determined by mutual agreement reached in good faith
by the Parties based on an equitable method of determining such Net
Sales that, among other considerations, takes into account, on a
country-by-country basis, variations in potency, the relative
contribution of each active ingredient or component in the combination
product and the relative value to the end-user of each active
ingredient or component.
3. Section 1.12 of the License Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in
its entirety as follows:
1.12 "Field of Use" shall mean the administration to humans of

however, that "Field of Use" shall not include: (i) the administration
to humans of Licensed Protein Product for the treatment or prevention
of any type of arthritis or cardiac or cardiovascular disease or
condition or (ii) use of Licensed Protein Product for Gene Therapy.
Each "indication" listed on Exhibit E attached hereto shall be referred
to herein individually as an "Area of the Field of Use" and
collectively as "Areas of the Field of Use."
4. A new Section 1.15.1 is hereby added to the Agreement to read in its
entirety as follows:
1.15.1 "Gene Therapy Field of Use" shall mean the
administration to humans of Licensed Gene Product for Gene Therapy for
the treatment or prevention of any human disease or condition, provided
however, that "Gene Therapy Field of Use" shall not include any
