country.
4.2 Royalty Rates.
4.2.1 If Pfizer is the Developing Party, the royalty paid by Pfizer,
to OSI Pharmaceuticals shall be ** percent ** of the Net Sales of each Product.
It is understood that the royalty rate specified in this Section 4.2.1 is
subject to reduction as provided in Sections 4.4 and 4.8 below. Those sections
of this Agreement or any other sections to the contrary notwithstanding, the
royalty paid to OSI Pharmaceuticals with respect to Net Sales of a Product shall
not be reduced to less than ** percent ** of such Net Sales; provided, however,
that if a Product is made and sold, in a country in which there are no Patent
Rights, then the royalty paid by Pfizer to OSI Pharmaceuticals shall be **

4.5 Payment Dates.
Royalties shall be paid on Net Sales within sixty (60) days after
the end of each calendar quarter in which such Net Sales are made. Such payments
shall be accompanied by a statement showing the Net Sales of each Product by the
Developing Party or any sublicensee of such in each country, the applicable
royalty rate for such Product, and a calculation of the amount of royalty due,
including any offsets.
4.6 Accounting.
The Net Sales used for computing the royalties payable to the
Licensor by the Developing Party, shall be computed and paid in US dollars by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to a U.S. account designated by the
receiving party, or by other mutually acceptable means. For purposes of
determining the amount of royalties due, the amount of Net Sales in any foreign
currency shall be computed by (a) converting such amount into U.S. dollars at
the prevailing commercial rate of exchange for purchasing dollars with such
foreign currency as published in the Wall Street Journal for the close of the
last business day of the calendar quarter for which the relevant royalty payment
is to be made by the payor and (b) deducting the amount of any governmental tax,
duty, charge, or other fee actually paid in respect of such conversion into, and
remittance of U.S. dollars.
4.7 Records.
The party that is paying such royalties shall keep for three (3)
years from the date of each payment of royalties complete and accurate records
of sales by such party of each Product in sufficient detail to allow the
accruing royalties to be determined accurately. The receiving party shall have
the right for a period of three (3) years after receiving any report or
statement with respect to royalties due and payable to appoint at its expense an
independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the payor to
inspect the relevant records of the payor to verify such report or statement.
The payor shall make its records available for inspection by such independent
certified public accountant during regular business hours at such place or
places where such records are customarily kept, upon reasonable notice from the
recipient of royalties, to the extent reasonably necessary, to verify the
accuracy of the reports and payments. Such inspection right shall not be
exercised more than once in any calendar year nor more than once with respect to
sales in any given period. Both parties agree to hold in strict confidence all
information concerning royalty payments and reports, and all information learned
6
8
in the course of any audit or inspection, except to the extent necessary for the
payee to reveal such information in order to enforce its rights under this
Agreement or if disclosure is required by law. The failure of the payee to
request verification of any report or statement during said three-year period
shall be considered acceptance of the accuracy of such report, and the payor
shall have no obligation to maintain records pertaining to such report or
statement beyond said three-year period. The results of each inspection, if any,
shall be binding on both parties.
4.8 Milestone Payments. If Pfizer is the Developing Party, then Pfizer
shall pay to OSI Pharmaceuticals, within sixty (60) days of the completion of
each event set forth below ("Event"), the payment listed opposite that Event.
Payments shall be made in US dollars by wire transfer in immediately available
funds to a U.S. bank account designated by OSI Pharmaceuticals, or other
mutually acceptable means. Pfizer shall be obligated to make each payment only
once with respect to each Compound. All payments made by Pfizer pursuant to this
Section 4.8 with respect to a Product are non-refundable but shall be credited
against all sums due to OSI Pharmaceuticals pursuant to Section 4.2.1 of this
Agreement with respect to Net Sales of such Product; provided, however, that the
sums due pursuant to Section 4.2.1 in any calendar year with respect to such
Product shall not be reduced by virtue of this credit by more than ** percent

5.1 Actual or Threatened Disclosure or Infringement.
When information comes to the attention of the Developing Party to
the effect that any Patent Rights relating to a Product have been or are
threatened to be unlawfully infringed, the Developing Party shall have the right
at its expense to take such action as it may deem necessary to prosecute or
prevent such unlawful infringement, including the right to bring or defend any
suit, action or proceeding involving any such infringement. The Developing Party
shall notify the Licensor promptly of the receipt of any such information and of
the commencement of any such suit, action or proceeding. If the Developing Party
determines that it is necessary or desirable for the Licensor to join any such
suit, action or proceeding, the Licensor shall, at the Developing Party's
expense, execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably
required to permit the Developing Party to commence such action, suit or
proceeding in which case the Developing Party shall hold Licensor free,
8
10
clear and harmless from any and all costs and expenses of litigation, including
attorneys fees. If the Developing Party brings a suit, it shall have the right
first to reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such suit or in its
settlement for all costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, related to
such suit or settlement, and twenty-five percent (25%) of any funds that shall
remain from said recovery shall be paid to Licensor and the balance of such
funds shall be retained by the Developing Party. If the Developing Party does
not, within one hundred twenty (120) days after giving notice to the Licensor of
the above-described information, notify the Licensor of the Developing Party's
intent to bring suit against any infringer, the Licensor shall have the right to
bring suit for such alleged infringement, but it shall not be obligated to do
so, and may join the Developing Party as party plaintiff, if appropriate, in
which event the Licensor shall hold the Developing Party free, clear and
harmless from any and all costs and expenses of such litigation, including
attorney's fees, and any sums recovered in any such suit or in its settlement
shall belong to the Licensor. However, twenty-five percent (25%) of any such
sums received by the Licensor, after deduction of all costs and expenses related
to such suit or settlement, including attorney's fees paid, shall be paid to the
Developing Party. Each party shall always have the right to be represented by
counsel of its own selection and at its own expense in any suit instituted by
the other for infringement under the terms of this Section. If the Developing
Party lacks standing and the Licensor has standing to bring any such suit,
action or proceeding, then the Licensor shall do so at the request of the
Developing Party and at the Developing Party's expense.
5.2 Defense of Infringement Claims.
The Licensor will cooperate with the Developing Party at the
Developing Party's expense in the defense of any suit, action or proceeding
against the Developing Party or any sublicensee of the Developing Party alleging
the infringement of the intellectual property rights of a third party by reason
of the use of Patent Rights in the manufacture, use or sale of a Product. The
Developing Party shall give the Licensor prompt written notice of the
commencement of any such suit, action or proceeding or claim of infringement and
will furnish the Licensor a copy of each communication relating to the alleged
infringement. The Licensor shall give to the Developing Party all authority
(including the right to exclusive control of the defense of any such suit,
action or proceeding and the exclusive right after consultation with the
Licensor, to compromise, litigate, settle or otherwise dispose of any such suit,
action or proceeding), at the Developing Party's expense, and shall provide all
information and assistance necessary to defend or settle any such suit, action
or proceeding; provided, however, the Developing Party shall obtain the
Licensor's prior consent to such part of any settlement which contemplates
payment or other action by the Licensor or has a material adverse effect on the
Licensor's business. If the parties agree that the Licensor should institute or
join any suit, action or proceeding pursuant to this Section, the Developing
Party may, at the Developing Party's expense, join the Licensor as a defendant
if necessary or desirable, and the Licensor shall execute all documents and take
all other actions, including giving testimony, which may reasonably be required
in connection with the prosecution of such suit, action or proceeding.
9
11
5.3 Hold Harmless.
The Licensor agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless
the Developing Party and any sublicensee of the Developing Party, from and
against any loss or expense arising from any proven claim of a third party that
it has been granted rights by the Licensor that the Developing Party or any
sublicensee of the Developing Party in exercising their rights granted to the
Developing Party by the Licensor pursuant to this Agreement, has infringed upon
such rights granted to such third party by the Licensor.
5.4 Third Party Licenses.
If the manufacture, use or sale by the Developing Party of a Product
in any country would, in the opinion of both the Developing Party and the
Licensor, infringe a patent owned by a third party, the Developing Party and the
Licensor, upon mutual consent, shall attempt to obtain a license under such
patent at the Developing Party's expense. If such license is obtained under such
patent, fifty percent (50%) of any payments made by the Developing Party to such
third party shall be deductible from royalty payments due from the Developing
Party to the Licensor pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that in no
event shall royalties payable to the Licensor be lower than ** percent ** of Net
Sales as a result of all such deductions. All such computations, payments, and
adjustments shall be on a country by country and patent by patent basis.
6. Representation and Warranty. The Developing Party and the Licensor represent
and warrant to each other that it has the right to grant the licenses granted
pursuant to this Agreement, and that the licenses so granted do not conflict
with or violate the terms of any other agreements between the Licensor, or the
