Within [***] days of the end of each Fiscal Quarter, (i) ARCHEMIX shall provide a report to the JPT that specifies the actual number of FTEs expended during the period covered therein in the conduct of (A) ARCHEMIX Research Activities and (B) ARCHEMIX Additional Activities, if any, and (ii) ARCHEMIX shall provide TAKEDA with a reconciliation statement (“Quarterly Reconciliation Statement”) that specifies the actual number of FTEs expended during such Fiscal Quarter in the conduct of (A) ARCHEMIX Research Activities and (B) ARCHEMIX Additional Activities, if any. To the extent that any Quarterly Reconciliation Statement indicates that ARCHEMIX expended FTEs on ARCHEMIX Research Activities and ARCHEMIX Additional Activities in excess of the number of FTEs required by the Minimum Funding Commitment that were authorized by TAKEDA under the Annual Research Plan or otherwise authorized in writing by TAKEDA, then within [***] days of receipt of such Quarterly Reconciliation Statement, TAKEDA will compensate ARCHEMIX for such additional FTEs at the FTE Rate. To the extent that any Quarterly Reconciliation Statement indicates that ARCHEMIX expended FTEs on ARCHEMIX Research Activities and ARCHEMIX Additional Activities in excess of what was authorized by TAKEDA under the Annual Research Plan or otherwise authorized in writing by TAKEDA, TAKEDA shall pay ARCHEMIX for the excess FTEs, not to exceed the [***] of [***] of an FTE [***] by the [***] in any given [***].

5.2.2 Credited R&D Funding To the extent that any Quarterly Reconciliation Statement indicates that the Quarterly FTE Payment in any given Fiscal Quarter exceeds the cost of the FTEs actually expended by ARCHEMIX for such Fiscal Quarter through no fault of TAKEDA, then TAKEDA shall have the right to apply such difference towards any amounts due under any [***].

5.2.3 R&D Funding Audit Rights. ARCHEMIX shall keep complete and accurate books and financial records pertaining to the number of FTEs utilized in conducting ARCHEMIX Research Activities and/or ARCHEMIX Additional Activities, if any, which books and financial records shall be kept in accordance with GAAP and shall be retained by ARCHEMIX for [***] years after the end of the Fiscal Year to which they pertain. Upon [***] days written notice, TAKEDA shall have the right to appoint at its expense an independent

certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to ARCHEMIX to audit the financial records of ARCHEMIX relating to the number of FTEs utilized in conducting the Research Program and/or ARCHEMIX Additional Activities during any Fiscal Year; provided, that, TAKEDA shall not have the right to audit any Fiscal Year more than [***] or more than [***] after the end of such Fiscal Year or to conduct more than [***] such audit in any [***] period. All financial records made available for audit shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of ARCHEMIX. The results of each audit, if any, shall be reported in writing to both Parties promptly (but in no event later than [***] days) after the audit and shall be binding on both Parties. In the event that there was an error relating to the reported FTEs utilized in conducting the Research Program and/or ARCHEMIX Additional Activities during any Fiscal Year, (a) if the effect of the error resulted in an overpayment by TAKEDA, ARCHEMIX shall promptly (but in any event no later than [***] days after ARCHEMIX’ receipt of the report so concluding), make payment to TAKEDA of the overpayment and (b) if the effect of the error resulted in an underpayment by TAKEDA, then TAKEDA shall promptly (but in no event later than [***] days after TAKEDA’s receipt of the report so concluding) make payment to ARCHEMIX of the underpayment amount. TAKEDA shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an over reporting by ARCHEMIX of more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the aggregate amount of FTE Costs reportable in any Fiscal Year, in which case ARCHEMIX shall reimburse TAKEDA for all reasonable costs incurred by TAKEDA in connection with such audit.

5.2.4 R&D External Costs. In addition to the funding obligations in Section 5.2.1 above, and without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof, TAKEDA shall be [***] for the payment of all Third Party research and Development activity costs (“Third Party Costs”), including, without limitation, contract research organizations, contract personnel and consultant costs and materials cost for large-scale syntheses, incurred by ARCHEMIX to the extent set forth in an Annual Research Plan or otherwise approved in writing by TAKEDA. TAKEDA shall pay such Third Party Costs by the last day of the first full month following receipt of the applicable invoice.

5.3 Milestone Payments.

5.3.1 Milestones.

(a) Development Milestones. Within [***] days of the occurrence of the following milestone events, TAKEDA shall make the corresponding non-refundable, non-creditable payments to ARCHEMIX by wire transfer according to instructions that ARCHEMIX shall provide:


Milestone Event		Milestone Payment
[***]		$[***]
[***]		$[***]
[***]		$[***]
[***]		$[***]


Milestone Event		Milestone Payment
[***]		$[***]
[***]		$[***]

[***]		$[***]
[***]		$[***]
[***]		$[***]
[***]		$[***]

For purposes of clarity, (a) milestones 1 and 2 shall be paid [***] for each [***] that yields an [***] and/or for the [***] and (b) milestones 3 through 17 will be paid [***] for each [***], regardless of the [***] that are [***] under this Agreement.

(b) Sales Milestones. In addition to the milestone payments required by Section 5.3.1(a), within [***] days after the occurrence of the following milestone events, TAKEDA shall make the following [***], non-refundable, non-creditable payments to ARCHEMIX for [***] Product, regardless of the [***] of Products that are Developed and Commercialized under this Agreement:


Milestone Event		Milestone Payment
[***]		$[***]
[***]		$[***]

5.3.2 Determination that Milestone Events have Occurred; Invoice for Milestone Payments. TAKEDA shall provide ARCHEMIX with written notice within [***] days of each occurrence of a milestone event set forth in Section 5.3.1. In the event that, notwithstanding the fact that TAKEDA has not given such a notice, ARCHEMIX believes any such milestone event has occurred, it shall so notify TAKEDA in writing and shall provide to TAKEDA data, documentation or other information that supports its belief. Any dispute under

this Section 5.3.2 that relates to whether or not a milestone event has occurred shall be referred to the JSC to be resolved in accordance with Section 2.1.6 and if after the Research Term, under Section 13.1.

5.4 Payment of Royalties; Royalty Rates; Accounting and Records.

5.4.1 Payment of Royalties.

(a) Royalty Rates in the [***]. TAKEDA shall pay ARCHEMIX the following non-refundable, non-creditable royalties based on Annual Net Sales of each Product in [***] in each Fiscal Year (or partial Fiscal Year) commencing with the First Commercial Sale of such Product in [***] and ending upon the last day of the Royalty Term for such Product in [***], at the following rates:


Annual Net Sales		Royalty Rate (%)
[***]		[***]%
[***]		[***]%
[***]		[***]%
[***]		[***]%
[***]		[***]%

The following hypothetical example illustrates the calculation of royalties under Section 5.4.1(a): If, in any Fiscal Year during the Term, Annual Net Sales of a Product are $[***], the applicable royalty would be $[***], [***]% of Net Sales for Net Sales up to $[***] ($[***]), [***]% of Net Sales for Net Sales over $[***] and up to $[***] ($[***]) and [***]% of Net Sales for Net Sales over $[***] ($[***]).

(b) Royalty Rates in the ROW. TAKEDA shall pay ARCHEMIX a royalty based on Annual Net Sales of each Product in each country or countries in the ROW Territory in each Fiscal Year (or partial Fiscal Year) commencing with the First Commercial Sale of such Product in any country in the ROW Territory and ending upon the last day of the Royalty Term for such Product in such country or countries, at a royalty rate equal to [***] percent ([***]%).

(c) Royalty Offsets; Requested Chemistry. In the event that TAKEDA, in order to practice the license granted to it under Section 7.2 of this Agreement in any country in the Territory, is required to and actually makes milestone and/or royalty payments to any Third Party (“Third Party Payments”) in order to obtain (i) a license to an issued patent or patents in the absence of which the oligonucleotide portion of the Product could not legally be imported, sold, exported, or otherwise exploited in such country and/or (ii) a license to an issued patent or patents, in the absence of which the Licensed Patent Rights cannot legally be practiced in such country for using, importing, offering for sale, selling, exporting or otherwise exploiting such Product, then the royalties payable to ARCHEMIX for such Product under Section 5.4.1(a) and/or (b) with respect to such country may be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) of the amount of such Third Party Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TAKEDA shall be solely responsible for the

payment of any Third Party Payments relating to a license that is specific to a particular Program Target and/or the use of a particular Program Target and, accordingly, the royalties payable to ARCHEMIX pursuant to Section 5.4.1(a) and/or (b) shall not be reduced by such Third Party Payments. In the event TAKEDA requests ARCHEMIX to use in the Research Program molecules, methods and/or processes other than Program Chemistry (“Requested Chemistry”), which TAKEDA has the right to request in its sole discretion, thereby giving rise to the obligation to pay milestone and/or royalty payments to a Third Party (“Third Party Chemistry Payments”), then TAKEDA shall be solely responsible for the payment of such Third Party Chemistry Payments and the royalties payable to ARCHEMIX pursuant to Section 5.4.1(a) and/or (b) shall not be reduced by such Third Party Chemistry Payments. For purposes of clarity, any license payments and/or damages relating to the use of the SELEX Process or the SELEX Technology shall be treated under Section 9.2.2(c).

(d) Generic Products. Prior to the expiration of the Royalty Term as to a given Product, in the event that Third Party(ies) sells Generic Product(s) in a country in which such Product(s) is then being sold and such [***] is not [***] by a [***]under the [***] in such country, then, during the period in which unit sales of the Generic Product(s) by such Third Party(ies) are equal to at least [***] ([***]%) of TAKEDA’s volume-based market share of the Product(s) in such country (as measured by prescriptions or other similar information available in such country), the royalties payable with respect to such Product(s) in such country as specified in Section 5.4.1 shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, TAKEDA’s obligation to pay the full amount of royalties payable under Section 5.4.1(a) shall be reinstated on the first day of the Calendar Quarter immediately following the Calendar Quarter in which sales of such Generic Product(s) account for less than [***] percent ([***]%) of TAKEDA’s volume-based market share in such country.

(e) Maximum Adjustment of Royalty Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall the royalty rates in Section 5.4.1 be cumulatively reduced below [***] percent ([***]%) of the rates set forth therein.

(f) Know-How Payments. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any royalties that are payable for a Product during the Royalty Term for such Product for which no Patent Rights exist shall be in consideration of (i) the performance by ARCHEMIX of the Research Program including ARCHEMIX’s expertise in and use of the SELEXProcess to identify the Products; (ii) the disclosure by ARCHEMIX to TAKEDA of results obtained in the Research Program; (iii) the licenses granted to TAKEDA hereunder with respect to Licensed Technology and Joint Technology that are not within the claims of any Patent Rights Controlled by ARCHEMIX; (iv) the restrictions on ARCHEMIX in Section 7.6.1; and (v) the “head start” afforded to TAKEDA by each of the foregoing.

(g) Payment Dates and Reports. Royalty payments shall be made by TAKEDA within [***] days after the end of each [***] commencing with the [***] in which the First Commercial Sale of a Product occurs. TAKEDA shall also provide, at the same time each such payment is made, a report showing: (a) the Net Sales of each Product by type of Product and country in the Territory; (b) the basis for any deductions from gross amounts billed or invoiced to determine Net Sales; (c) the applicable royalty rates for such Product; (d) the exchange rates used

in calculating any of the foregoing; and (e) a calculation of the amount of royalty due to ARCHEMIX.

(h) Combination Products. The earned royalty due on a Combination Product shall be determined pro rata on a Combination Product-by-Combination Product and country-by-country basis, by multiplying Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the invoice price of the Product when sold separately and B is the invoice price of the Supplemental Product when sold separately by TAKEDA, its Affiliate or its Sublicensee or, if not sold by them, then the average invoice price when sold separately by Third Parties. If the Supplemental Product in the Combination Product is not sold separately by any Person, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying actual net revenues derived from sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/C, where A is as previously defined and C is the invoice price of the Combination Product sold by TAKEDA, its Affiliate or its Sublicensee. For purposes of clarity, the average invoice price and the actual net revenues for any Supplemental Product shall be for a quantity comparable to that contained in the Combination Product and shall be of the same class, purity and potency as that contained in the Combination Product. If neither the Product nor the Supplemental Product included in the Combination Product are sold separately, Net Sales shall be calculated based on the mutual written agreement of the Parties as to a reasonable allocation between the Product and the Supplemental Product, taking into account total manufacturing costs, proprietary protection and relative contribution thereof. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on an appropriate method of determining royalties for a Combination Product, (“Disputed Royalty Matter”), such Disputed Royalty Matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13.1.

5.4.2 Records; Audit Rights. TAKEDA and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall keep and maintain for [***] years from the date of each payment of royalties hereunder complete and accurate records of gross sales and Net Sales by TAKEDA and its Affiliates and Sublicensees of each Product, in sufficient detail to allow royalties to be determined accurately. ARCHEMIX shall have the right for a period of [***] years after receiving any such royalty payment to appoint at its expense an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to TAKEDA to audit the relevant records of TAKEDA and its Affiliates and Sublicensees to verify that the amount of such payment was correctly determined. TAKEDA and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall each make its records available for audit by such independent certified public accountant during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon [***] days written notice from ARCHEMIX, solely to verify that royalty payments hereunder were correctly determined. Such audit right shall not be exercised by ARCHEMIX more than once in any Fiscal Year. All records made available for audit shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of TAKEDA. The results of each audit, if any, shall be binding on both Parties. In the event there was an underpayment by TAKEDA hereunder, TAKEDA shall promptly (but in any event no later than [***] days after TAKEDA’s receipt of the report so concluding) make payment to ARCHEMIX of any shortfall. ARCHEMIX shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underreporting by TAKEDA of more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the aggregate amount of royalties payable in any Fiscal Year, in which case TAKEDA shall reimburse ARCHEMIX for all costs incurred by ARCHEMIX in connection with such audit.

5.4.3 Overdue Royalties and Milestones. All royalty payments not made within the time period set forth in Section 5.4.1(g), including underpayments discovered during an audit, and all milestone payments not made within the time period specified in Section 5.4.1(a) or (b), shall bear interest at a rate of [***] percent ([***]%) per month from the due date until paid in full or, if less, the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Laws. Any such overdue royalty or milestone payment shall, when made, be accompanied by, and credited first to, all interest so accrued.

5.4.4 Payments. All payments made by TAKEDA hereunder shall be made by wire transfer from a banking institution in the United States in United States Dollars in accordance with instructions given in writing from time to time by ARCHEMIX and shall be free and clear of any taxes, duties, levies, fees or charges including any withholding taxes.

5.4.5 Taxes. Any income taxes or other taxes which TAKEDA is required by law to pay or withhold on behalf of ARCHEMIX with respect to milestones, royalties and any other monies or other transfer for value payable or provided to ARCHEMIX under this Agreement shall be deducted from such milestones, royalties and any other monies due to ARCHEMIX under this Agreement. TAKEDA shall provide ARCHEMIX with documentation of such withholding in a manner that is satisfactory for purposes of reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Payments made by either Party for goods and services provided by the other Party under this Agreement are exclusive of value added tax, sales tax or any other similar or substitute tax which will be additionally payable by the Party receiving the goods or services in the event that value added tax, sales tax or any other similar or substitute tax applies to any of these payments; provided, that, the Party providing the goods or services will issue to the other Party an appropriate invoice to support any such charge. TAKEDA shall submit to ARCHEMIX reasonable proof of payment of the withholding taxes contemplated by this Section 5.4.5, together with an accounting of the calculations of such taxes, within [***] days after which such withholding taxes are remitted to the proper authority. The Parties will cooperate reasonably in completing and filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable tax laws or under any other Applicable Law, in connection with the making of any required tax payment or withholding payment, or in connection with any claim to a refund of or credit for any such payment. The Parties will cooperate to minimize such taxes in accordance with Applicable Laws.

5.4.6 Foreign Currency Exchange. All royalties shall be payable in full in the United States in United States Dollars, regardless of the countries in which sales are made. Any conversion from a non-U.S. currency to United States Dollars shall be converted as follows:

(A/B), where

A = foreign “Net Sales” (as defined above) in such Fiscal Quarter expressed in such foreign currency; and

B = foreign exchange conversion rate, expressed in local currency of the foreign country per United States Dollar (using, as the applicable foreign exchange rate, the average of the daily closing rates published in the New York edition of The Wall Street Journal under the heading “Money Rates” or any other mutually agreed upon source, for such Fiscal Quarter).

7.6 Exclusivity.

7.6.1 ARCHEMIX.

(a) Exclusivity Obligations. Except as provided in this Section 7.6.1(a) and Section 7.6.1(b), during the Exclusivity Term, ARCHEMIX shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to not, either on its own, or with, or for the benefit of, any Third Party, research, develop or commercialize (i) with respect to each Program Target, any aptamer directed and binding to such Program Target or the [***] therefor identified on Schedule 7 attached hereto, and (ii) with respect to each Pre-approved Replacement Target, any aptamer directed and binding to such Pre-approved Replacement Target or the [***] therefor identified on Schedule 7 attached hereto, except, in each case, for the conduct by ARCHEMIX of Permitted Activities. For purposes of clarity, the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.6.1(a) shall not apply to (A) Permitted Activities or (B) the exercise by ARCHEMIX of its rights to develop and commercialize any Waived Compound, Failed Compound or Terminated Product pursuant to Section 7.1.2(c) or Section 7.1.2(d). Also for purposes of clarity, if a Pre-approved Replacement Target becomes a Program Target pursuant to Section 3.5.1(d), the Exclusivity Term applicable to such Pre-approved Replacement Target shall be the Exclusivity Term applicable to Program Targets.

(b) Effect of Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.6.1(a) above, if at any time during the Exclusivity Term, ARCHEMIX consummates a transaction that results in a Change of Control of ARCHEMIX and that involves a Third Party that has a Competitive Program, the existence and continuation of such Competitive Program following the Change of Control shall not be deemed to be in conflict with, or a breach of, Section 7.6.1(a). In the event that ARCHEMIX consummates a transaction during the Exclusivity Term that (i) results in a Change of Control of ARCHEMIX and (ii) involves a Third Party that has a Competitive Program, ARCHEMIX shall notify TAKEDA in writing within [***] days of the closing of such transaction, which notice shall (A) identify the Competitive Program and (B) indicate whether or not the Third Party has determined to discontinue and/or divest itself of such Competitive Program. If ARCHEMIX indicates the intention of the Third Party to discontinue or divest itself of such Competitive Program, it shall have a period of up to [***] months of the closing of the transaction to do so. To the extent that ARCHEMIX indicated in its notice that (i) the Third Party has not made a commitment to discontinue and/or divest itself of such Competitive Program within [***] months of the closing, (ii) ARCHEMIX fails to provide such notice or (iii) the Third Party fails to discontinue or divest itself of the Competitive Program within [***] months as provided above, TAKEDA will thereafter have the option to (A) designate such Program Target as a Discontinued Competitive Target and direct ARCHEMIX to discontinue all further work on such designated Discontinued Competitive Target; or (B) to the extent that TAKEDA is either Developing or Commercializing a Product against a Program Target for which a Competitive Program exists, limit the scope and content of the reports to ARCHEMIX otherwise called for under Section 4.6 solely with respect to that Product. For purposes of clarity, a Discontinued Competitive Target shall never be deemed to be a Failed Target or a Waived Target and the license grants associated with such Failed Target or Waived Target under Section 7.1.2(c) shall not apply to such Discontinued Competitive Target.

7.6.2 TAKEDA. During the Exclusivity Term, TAKEDA shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to not, either on its own, or with, or for the benefit of, any Third Party, research, develop or commercialize any aptamer binding to a Program Target, except as provided under this Agreement.

FORM OF PRESS RELEASE

Archemix and Takeda to Enter into Collaboration for Discovery and Development of Aptamer Therapeutics

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and OSAKA, Japan – June 11, 2007 – Archemix Corp. (“Archemix”) and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”) announced today that both parties have signed a multi-year, three target agreement that focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialization of first-in-class aptamer-based therapeutics.

Under the agreement, Archemix will receive an upfront payment of $6 million from Takeda to discover and generate product candidates to three disease-associated targets identified by Takeda, and Takeda will be granted an exclusive, worldwide right for research, development, manufacturing and commercialization for any resulting aptamer-based products. Archemix will also receive committed research funding and research and clinical development milestone payments for each target selected for therapeutic development. In addition, Archemix will earn royalties and milestones on worldwide sales of the developed aptamers commercialized by Takeda. Detailed financial terms were not disclosed.

“Our alliance with Takeda is the sixth major partnership we have formed over within the past year and is a major step in the continued validation of aptamer therapeutics,” said Errol De Souza, Ph.D., President and CEO, Archemix. “Takeda is an excellent partner for Archemix and this collaboration is a key component of successfully implementing our strategy of forming collaborations with multi national pharmaceutical companies to rapidly advance aptamer programs into clinical development.”

“We are very impressed with Archemix’ track record of success in creating therapeutic aptamers,” said Dr. Shigenori Ohkawa, General manager of Pharmaceutical Research Division, Takeda. “Archemix is the leader in the discovery of aptamer therapeutics and we believe that, as a class, aptamers have the potential to create a new paradigm of treatments in a broad spectrum of diseases, and we believe this collaboration will surely contribute to enhancing our R&D pipeline as source for future growth of Takeda.”

About Aptamers

Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids that form well-defined three dimensional shapes, allowing them to bind target molecules in a manner that is conceptually similar to antibodies. Aptamers combine the optimal characteristics of small molecules and antibodies, including high specificity and affinity, chemical stability, low immunogenicity and the ability to target protein-

protein interactions. In contrast to monoclonal antibodies, aptamers are chemically synthesized rather than biologically expressed.

About Archemix

Archemix Corp. is a privately-held biopharmaceutical company developing aptamers as a class of directed therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of human disease. The company is leveraging its proprietary drug discovery technology to fuel the growth of its development portfolio, which is primarily focused on acute cardiovascular and hematology diseases and cancer. Archemix’s broad product pipeline, being developed both by the company as well as its licensees, includes multiple investigational compounds at various stages of development, several of which are moving into Phase 2 clinical trials. Archemix’s lead proprietary product, ARC1779, a selective platelet inhibitor, is anticipated to start a Phase 2a and Phase 1b clinical trial before the end of 2007. Archemix’ leadership position in intellectual property, technology and expertise relating to aptamers has enabled it to form numerous collaborations with biotechnology and pharmaceutical collaborators, including Merck Serono, Pfizer Inc., Elan Pharma, Nuvelo, Inc., Antisoma plc., and Regado Biosciences.
