              (e)   Each of ERS and the Company may propose to include a new study as an Approved Study or a Contingent Approved Study in a subsequent Clinical Development Plan or to amend any then-current Clinical Developmental Plan to include a new study as an Approved Study or Contingent Approved Study (any such proposed new study, a "Proposed Study") by providing written notice to the other Party, together with the information required by Exhibit 1.20 with respect to such Proposed Study, including a proposed Clinical Budget (with the Parties to so approach Merck KGaA to co-fund such Proposed Study if either Party believes it appropriate to do so, provided that such approach to Merck KGaA shall not delay such submission of such Proposed Study to the PDC for its review and recommendation in accordance with Section 4.3(f) by more than 60 calendar days). The Party seeking to add such Proposed Study also shall promptly provide the other Party such additional information with respect to the Proposed Study as the other Party shall reasonably request. The provisions of this Section 4.3(e) shall not apply to any Emergency Study (which is the subject of Section 4.3(i)). Such Proposed Study shall not be included in a subsequent Clinical Development Plan as an Approved Study or Contingent Approved Study or added to the then-current Clinical Development Plan as an Approved Study or Contingent Approved Study unless and until it is approved in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3(f).

              (f)    In order for a proposed Clinical Development Plan developed pursuant to Section 4.3(c) to be approved as a Clinical Development Plan or for a Proposed Study to be approved as an Approved Study or a Contingent Approved Study and added to the then-current Clinical Development Plan, (i) the PDC must review and unanimously recommend such proposed Clinical Development Plan or Proposed Study, as applicable, including all protocols developed for each Approved Study or Contingent Approved Study to be included in a Clinical Development Plan, to the JEC for approval, and (ii) the JEC must unanimously approve such proposed Clinical Development Plan or Proposed Study, as applicable, including all protocols developed for each Approved Study or Contingent Approved Study to be included in a Clinical Development Plan, all in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.1(b)(ii) and (iii) and 2.3(b)(i) and (ii). Each Party can withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion to the inclusion of any Proposed Study in a proposed Clinical Development Plan or the approval of any Proposed Study to be added to the then-current Clinical Development Plan.

              (g)   (i) If any of the Contingent Approved Studies set forth on Schedule 4.3(g)(i) (each a "Specified Phase III Study") shall not become an Approved Study pursuant to Section 4.3(h) but the corresponding Approved Study set forth on Schedule 4.3(g)(i) (each, a "Specified Signal Finding Study") produced positive results (e.g., it demonstrated a sufficient signal in prolongation of Progression Free Survival ("PFS") or time to progression versus standard of

20



      care) such that it would be reasonable in the opinion of a Party (the "Proposing Party") to continue to the corresponding Specified Phase III Study (with any dispute between the Parties as to whether such specified Signal Finding Study did produce such positive results to be referred to a scientific advisory board with three members, one appointed by each of ERS and the Company and the third appointed by such appointees, for a non-binding recommendation), and, after proposing such Specified Phase III Study as a Proposed Study in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3(e) and, if such Proposed Study is not approved as an Approved Study and the Proposing Party wishes to fund individually such Proposed Study as a "Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study", the Proposing Party shall give written notice to the other Party (the "Non-Proposing Party") of its intent to conduct such Proposed Study as a Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study, and shall provide to the Non-Proposing Party an updated Clinical Budget for such Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study including all the budget information that would be required by Exhibit 1.20 if such Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study were an Approved Study and any information with respect to proposed amendments or modifications that the Proposing Party proposes to make with respect to such Proposed Study that were not previously provided to the Non-Proposing Party and considered when such Specified Phase III Study was proposed as a Proposed Study but not approved as an Approved Study pursuant to Section 4.3(f). If the Non-Proposing Party again decides not to approve such Specified Phase III Study as an Approved Study, then the Proposing Party shall have the right to conduct such Specified Phase III Study as a Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study on the same basis as it had initially proposed to conduct such Proposed Study as amended or modified by any proposed amendments or modifications disclosed to the Non-Proposing Party pursuant to the preceding sentence, and subject to the following terms:

                  (A)  The Proposing Party shall pay 100% of the Development Costs related to such Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study;

                  (B)  Such Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study shall not be conducted if in the opinion of the Non-Proposing Party the Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study presents a medical risk/benefit that is so unfavorable as to be incompatible with the welfare or safety of patients.

                  (C)  Following commencement of the Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study, the Proposing Party shall provide written notice to the Non-Proposing Party of any proposed amendment or modification to the Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study not less than 20 business days prior to making such modification or amendment. The Proposing Party shall have the right to make such modifications or amendments to the Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study, provided that the Proposing Party first shall have provided the Non-Proposing Party with such additional information with respect to such proposed amendment or modification as the Non-Proposing Party shall reasonably request and a reasonable period of time to review and comment on such proposed amendments or modifications, and provided further that such proposed amendment or modification shall not be made if in the opinion of the Non-Proposing Party it presents a medical risk/benefit that is so unfavorable as to be incompatible with the welfare or safety of patients.

                 (ii)  All Parties shall benefit from any Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study to the same extent as if such Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study had been jointly funded by the Parties, provided that if such Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study results in regulatory approval in the U.S. or Canada of a line of therapy in a new tumor type for which regulatory approval has not previously been granted with respect to the Product not later than the date that is two years prior to the expiration of the Term (the satisfaction of such conditions resulting in a "Successful Indication" or "SFI"), then, at the

21


        Non-Proposing Party's election (such election to be made by such Non-Proposing Party within 30 calendar days after the Proposing Party has delivered written notice to such Non-Proposing Party that such regulatory approval has been received), either (A) the Proposing Party shall be solely entitled to, and shall solely bear, the Incremental SFI Profit Or Loss attributable to such Successful Indication or (B) the Non-Proposing Party shall pay to the Proposing Party an amount equal to [*] of the lesser of (1) the amount of Development Costs attributable to such Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study that the Non-Proposing Party would have been responsible to fund if such Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study had been an Approved Study funded in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6 (i.e., based on the Clinical Budget that was presented to the Non-Proposing Party when it made the final decision not to fund such Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study pursuant to Section 4.3(g)(i)) and (2) the amount of Development Costs attributable to such Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study that it would have been responsible to fund in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6 based on the Development Costs actually incurred. If the Non-Proposing Party elects clause (A) with respect to any SFI, the Parties shall work together in good faith to finalize and implement a process for determining Incremental SFI Profit Or Loss attributable to such Successful Indication, including a methodology for determining the amount of adjustments to net sales and costs incurred by each Party and its Affiliates that are attributable to, or reasonably allocable to, such SFI and a methodology for such allocation and the mechanics for payments related to Incremental SFI Profit Or Loss and adjustments to Distribution Fees payable as a result of such election. If such Non-Proposing Party elects to make the payments in clause (B) above with respect to any SFI, such payments shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds in equal quarterly installments in advance over a three-year period, the first payment to made on the first day of the first calendar quarter following receipt of the applicable FDA approval. For clarity, if such Non-Proposing Party elects to make the payment referred to in clause (B) with respect to any SFI, then the Parties shall jointly co-promote such SFI and shall benefit from such SFI in each case to the same extent as if the Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study that resulted in such SFI had been jointly funded by the Parties.

                (iii)  If the Non-Proposing Party shall have elected to allow the Proposing Party to receive/bear the Incremental SFI Profit Or Loss under Section 4.3(g)(ii)(A), then the Proposing Party, but not the Non-Proposing Party, shall:

                  (A)  be solely responsible for the sales force detailing, marketing and medical education activities for such SFI, provided that ERS shall retain the right to book all sales and determine the terms and conditions of sale (including pricing and managed care contracting strategies) and amount and terms of any adjustments to net sales;

                  (B)  be solely responsible for all Marketing Costs, medical education activity costs, regulatory costs, Sales Costs and other costs incurred by either Party or any of its respective Affiliates that are attributable to or reasonably allocable to such SFI;

                  (C)  be solely entitled to develop the Marketing Plan and Marketing Budget for such SFI, provided that such Marketing Plan for such SFI be reviewed by the JCC and the JCC shall have determined it to be consistent in all key respects (including product positioning) with the Marketing Plan approved by the JCC for all other indications for the Product that ERS and the Company are co-promoting;

22


                  (D)  be solely entitled to, and shall solely bear, the entire Incremental SFI Profit Or Loss that is attributable to such SFI.

        If the Proposing Party is the Company, then ERS shall pay to the Company such Incremental Profit, and the Company shall pay to ERS for any Incremental Loss, attributable to such SFI, in each case on a quarterly basis. If the Proposing Party is ERS, then ERS shall be entitled to such Incremental SFI Profit, and shall bear any Incremental SFI Loss, attributable to such SFI, but shall reimburse the Company for any costs incurred by the Company or any of its Affiliates that are included in the determination of Incremental SFI Profit Or Loss on a quarterly basis. All payments pursuant to this Section 4.3(g)(iii) shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds not later than seventy-five days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter in which there is any amount of Incremental SFI Profit Or Loss for such SFI. If the Proposing Party and the Non-Proposing Party cannot agree on the determination of any matter pertaining to the calculation of Incremental SFI Profit Or Loss attributable to such SFI for a given accounting period, including the determination of any amounts to be taken into account in the determination of such Incremental SFI Profit Or Loss for such SFI, then either Party may submit such dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section 16.13.

                (iv)  Each Proposing Party shall be solely responsible for, and hereby assumes, any and all risks of personal injury or property damage attributable to the acts or omissions of such Proposing Party and/or any of its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and independent contractors (e.g., CROs) for each Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study conducted by such Proposing Party. Each Proposing Party shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Non-Proposing Party and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and independent contractors (e.g., CROs) from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees of attorneys and other professionals) to the extent arising out of claims, actions, suits or proceedings that may be brought, in each case that are attributable to or arise out of the (A) acts or omissions of such Proposing Party or its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and independent contractors (e.g. CROs), in connection with each Sole-Funded SFI Registrational Study conducted by such Proposing Party or (B) with respect to each SFI for which such Party is the Proposing Party and the Non-Proposing Party shall have elected to allow the Proposing Party to receive/bear the Incremental SFI Profit Or Loss under Section 4.3(g)(ii)(A) for such SFI, the development, marketing, sale, use or commercialization of the Product for such SFI. Nothing in this Section 4.3(g)(iv) shall limit the indemnification obligations of any Party in Section 12.2 and 12.3. The provisions of Sections 12.4 and 12.5 with respect to claims for indemnification shall be applicable to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.3(g)(iv).

              (h)   (i) In order for a Contingent Approved Study to become an Approved Study, (A) the PDC must review and unanimously recommend to the JEC whether a Contingent Approved Study has satisfied each of the Contingencies related to such Contingent Approved Study and shall become an Approved Study and (B) the JEC must review and unanimously approve that such Contingencies related to the Contingent Approved Study have been satisfied, all in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.1(b)(iv) and 2.3(b)(iii). The Party designated as the Responsible Party for such Contingent Approved Study shall provide to the other Party written evidence of the satisfaction of such Contingencies. Any increase in the Clinical Budget or other proposed change in the Contingent Approved Study shall be subject to agreement by the parties pursuant to Sections 2.3(b)(v) and, if applicable, 2.1(b)(v). When it has been unanimously determined by the JEC that each of the Contingencies applicable to a Contingent

23


      Approved Study has been satisfied, such Contingent Approved Study shall be designated as an Approved Study in the then-current Clinical Development Plan. If upon the unanimous recommendation of the PDC, the JEC unanimously determines that one or more of the Contingencies for a particular Contingent Approved Study has failed to be satisfied, such Contingent Approved Study shall be removed from the Clinical Development Plan. If it is determined that one or more of the Contingencies applicable to any Contingent Approved Study has failed to be satisfied, either Party may propose that further work should be supported in the tumor type that was the subject of such Contingent Approved Study and that such study should be continued with or without modification, in which event such further work would be proposed as a Proposed Study and be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.3(e) and 4.3(g). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Contingent Approved Study shall not become an Approved Study nor shall any such further work be conducted if in the opinion of either Party the Contingent Approved Study presented a medical risk/benefit that is so unfavorable as to be incompatible with the welfare and safety of patients.

                 (ii)  If the Contingent Approved Study did not specify the Responsible Party when such Contingent Approved Study was initially included in a Clinical Development Plan, the Parties shall determine the Responsible Party within sixty days after the determination that a Contingent Study has become an Approved Study, and no Party shall unreasonably withhold its consent to such determination. If the Contingent Approved Study did not specify whether a CRO would be used to conduct such Contingent Approved Study when it was initially included in the Clinical Development Plan, such determination shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5(a). Following the later to occur of determination that a Contingent Approved Study shall have become an Approved Study and the determination of the Responsible Party for such Approved Study, the Responsible Party will be responsible for and prepare the protocol for such Approved Study and an updated Clinical Budget for such Approved Study. In order for the proposed protocol for such Approved Study and the related updated Clinical Budget to be finalized, (1) the PDC must review and unanimously recommend such proposed protocol and related updated Clinical Budget to the JEC for approval, and (2) the JEC must unanimously approve such proposed protocols and related updated Clinical Budgets, all in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.1(b)(iv) and 2.3(b)(iii).

              (i)    At any time prior to the expiration of the Agreement, each of ERS and the Company may propose to add an Emergency Study to the then-current Clinical Development Plan by providing written notice to the other Party, including a reasonably detailed description of the reasons why the proposing Party believes such Emergency Study needs to be conducted together with the information required by Exhibit 1.20 related to such Emergency Study, including a Clinical Budget. The Party seeking to add such Emergency Study also shall promptly provide the other Party such additional information with respect to the Emergency Study as the other Party shall reasonably request. In order for an Emergency Study to become an Approved Study, (1) the PDC must review and unanimously recommend such Emergency Study to the JEC for approval, and (2) the JEC must unanimously approve such Emergency Study, all in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(iii) and 2.3(b)(ii) and subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(d)(v)(B).

              (j)    Prior to Registration in any country in the Territory, the Parties intend that the Company will be primarily responsible for implementing the regulatory strategy for the Products in such country developed by the PDC. The Parties intend that ERS will be primarily responsible for regulatory activities in a country in the Territory after Registration in such country, comprising regulatory compliance, worldwide safety surveillance, adverse event reporting and all other necessary support services."

                 (ii)  If either the Responsible Party or the other Party desires to solicit bids to have such Approved Study or Contingent Study or a Proposed Study conducted by a CRO, the Parties shall solicit bids from CROs that are reasonably satisfactory to both Parties and that have sufficient capabilities and resources. In the case of any Approved Study included in Exhibit A of the 2007-2009 Clinical Development Plan as of the date of this Amendment No. 2 for which the determination of whether to use a CRO is marked "TBD", the Parties shall solicit such bids within 60 days after the date of this Amendment No. 2. In the case of each Proposed Study that would be an Approved Study, such solicitation and receipt of any final bids shall be completed prior to completion of the approval process for such Proposed Study contemplated by Section 4.3(f). In the case of any Contingent Approved Study, the Parties shall solicit such bids not later than sixty days after such Contingent Approved Study becomes an Approved Study. [*]"

              "(b) Each of ERS and the Company shall be responsible for preparing all Regulatory Applications necessary or desirable to register the Products in all countries in the Territory for which such Party is the Responsible Party. The Company shall be responsible for filing all Regulatory Applications (whether prepared by the Company or ERS) and, thereafter, to conduct all communications with the Regulatory Authorities during the registration process (provided that, if ERS is the Responsible Party for the preparation of such Regulatory Application, it will work with the Company with respect to all such regulatory activities). Each such Party shall submit all proposed filings to the PDC for its approval. The other such Party shall provide all technical data and support necessary to assist the Responsible Party to prepare such Regulatory Applications. The Responsible Party shall keep the PDC informed as to the status of such efforts, permit the PDC to review any revisions to any filings or communications with Regulatory Authorities during their preparation, and shall confer with the PDC regarding the preparation of such filings and communications and the registration process. During such process, such Parties shall collaborate and cooperate in the preparation and filing of all documents necessary therefor and all regulatory interactions and compliance with Regulatory Authorities in the Territory. All regulatory activities (including without limitation adverse event reporting) to be performed by ERS in accordance with this Agreement and the Clinical Development Plan shall be conducted on behalf of the Company. The Company shall appoint ERS as its agent for regulatory compliance and all other regulatory activities for which ERS is responsible."
