(a) Licenses to Takeda.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, AMAG hereby grants Takeda an exclusive (even as to AMAG except as provided in Section 2.1(b) below), royalty-bearing license, with the right to sublicense directly or through multiple tiers as provided in Section 2.1(c), under the AMAG Technology, to research, Develop, Finish, use, sell, offer for sale, distribute, import, export and otherwise Commercialize the Product in the Field in the Licensed Territory. In addition, for any Development or Commercialization activities permitted under Article 4, AMAG hereby grants Takeda a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license, with the right to sublicense directly or through multiple tiers as provided in Section 2.1(c), under the AMAG Technology, to Develop, use, import and export the Product in the Field outside the Licensed Territory to conduct any such permitted activities solely to the extent for the Development or Commercialization of the Product in the Licensed Territory pursuant to the license granted in the immediately preceding sentence. Takeda’s right to use and access certain AMAG Know-How is subject to Takeda’s payment of certain Development expenses, as described in Section 4.11. For clarity, the foregoing licenses exclude the right to Manufacture or have Manufactured the Product, except for the right to Finish the Product, subject to the following subsection (ii).
(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Supply Agreement, and effective only upon a Transfer Event and for so long thereafter as provided in the Supply Agreement, AMAG hereby grants Takeda a co-exclusive (with AMAG and the Designated Second Source Suppliers) license under the AMAG Technology to have Manufactured the Product by a Designated Second Source Supplier for Development and Commercialization of the Product by Takeda or its Affiliates or sublicensees pursuant to the license granted in Section 2.1(a)(i).
(b) AMAG Retained Rights. Notwithstanding the rights granted to Takeda in Section 2.1(a) and without limiting the generality of Section 2.5, AMAG retains the following: (i) subject to Section 4.5, the right to conduct or have conducted clinical trials and other studies in the Licensed Territory for the generation of data in support of any regulatory submissions to (x) any Regulatory Authority outside the Licensed Territory or (y) the Regulatory Authorities within the Licensed Territory only to the extent as provided in Article 4; and (ii) the right to Manufacture or have Manufactured Product anywhere in the Licensed Territory, in each case together with the right to import and export the Product in such territories for such purposes.

Takeda shall have the right, directly or through multiples tiers, to (i) grant sublicenses of the licenses granted in Section 2.1(a)(i) to one or more of its Affiliates at any time; (ii) upon written notice to the JSC, grant sublicenses of the license granted under Section 2.1(a)(i) to one or more Third Parties; provided, however, that the right to sublicense the right to Develop the Product under this Section 2.1(c)(ii) may be granted only to a sublicensee of the right to Commercialize the Product, and such Development shall be limited to clinical studies required to obtain or maintain Regulatory Approval in a particular country, subject to Section 4.4(c); and (iii) grant sublicenses under its Development rights under Section 2.1(a)(i) (A) in the EU-5 to Third Parties upon the written consent of AMAG, at AMAG’s sole discretion, and (B) in the Licensed Territory outside the EU-5 to Third Parties upon the written
14
consent of AMAG, not to be unreasonably withheld. Takeda shall provide all information reasonably requested by the JSC prior to entering into any such Third Party arrangement and shall, within thirty (30) days after granting a Third Party a sublicense under the licenses granted in Section 2.1(a)(i), notify AMAG of the grant of such sublicense and provide AMAG with a true and complete copy of the sublicense agreement (provided that Takeda may redact any information contained therein that is not necessary to disclose to ensure compliance with this Agreement). Each sublicense agreement shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Takeda shall, in each agreement under which it grants a sublicense under the license set forth in Section 2.1(a)(i) (each, a “Takeda Sublicense Agreement”), require the sublicensee (A) to provide Information to Takeda to the extent necessary for Takeda and AMAG to comply with their obligations under Article 5, and (B) to provide the following to AMAG, if this Agreement terminates, or to Takeda, if only such Takeda Sublicense Agreement terminates: (x) the assignment and transfer of ownership and possession of all Regulatory Materials (including Regulatory Approvals) held or possessed by such sublicensee (which assignment could also be directly to Takeda prior to any such termination), and (y) the assignment of all intellectual property Controlled by such sublicensee that covers a Product or its respective use, manufacture, sale, or importation and was created by or on behalf of such sublicensee during the exercise of its rights or fulfillment of its obligations pursuant to such Takeda Sublicense Agreement. In addition, Takeda will include provisions in each Takeda Sublicense Agreement providing that if the sublicensee or any of its Affiliates undertakes a Patent Challenge, Takeda may terminate all sublicenses under the AMAG Patents granted to such sublicensee. If a sublicensee (or an Affiliate of such sublicensee) undertakes a Patent Challenge, then Takeda, upon receipt of notice thereof from AMAG, will terminate all sublicenses under the AMAG Patents granted to such sublicensee in the applicable sublicense agreement.

In addition, upon AMAG’s written request, Takeda shall, in good faith, negotiate with AMAG the terms and conditions under which Takeda would grant to AMAG (c) a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing, worldwide license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, under the Takeda Technology to research, develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import
15
the Product outside the Field. AMAG’s right to use and access certain Takeda Know-How is subject to AMAG’s payment of certain Development expenses, as described in Section 4.11.

19
or 4.4(c)(iii), AMAG shall provide the JDC with a reasonably detailed budget of the Out-of-Pocket Costs for such clinical trial at the first JDC meeting after the Effective Date, and shall provide updates thereafter on an annual basis or upon material changes to the budget by AMAG. AMAG shall respond to Takeda’s reasonable requests for detailed information supporting any such budget.
3.3 Committee Membership and Procedures.
(a) Membership. AMAG and Takeda shall each designate an equal number of representatives (each of whom shall be in a management position of the applicable Party) to serve on the JSC and JDC (each a “Committee”) by written notices to the other Party. Representatives selected for the JDC shall have appropriate expertise/experience in clinical development of pharmaceutical products. Initially, each Party shall designate three (3) representatives for each Committee. Each Committee may elect to vary the number of representatives from time to time during the Term. Either Party may designate substitutes for its representatives if one (1) or more of such Party’s designated representatives is unable to be present at a meeting. From time to time each Party may replace its representatives by written notice to the other Party specifying the prior representative(s) and their replacement(s). Each Committee will have a chairperson, to be designated as described below. The chairperson shall be responsible for (i) calling meetings, (ii) preparing and issuing minutes of each such meeting within ten (10) business days thereafter, and (iii) preparing and circulating an agenda for the upcoming meeting, but shall have no special authority over the other members of the Committee, and shall have no additional voting rights or powers beyond those held by the other members of the Committee.
(b) Chairperson
(i) The initial chairperson of the JSC shall be appointed by Takeda. On each anniversary of the Effective Date, the Parties shall alternate designation of the chairperson of the JSC for the commencing year.
(ii) The initial chairperson of the JDC shall be appointed by AMAG. On each anniversary of the Effective Date, the Parties shall alternate designation of the chairperson of the JDC for the commencing year.
(c) Meetings. Meetings of a Committee shall be held at least quarterly during the first eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date and twice per year thereafter during the Term, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to a different frequency for such meetings. No later than ten (10) business days prior to any regularly scheduled meeting of a Committee, the chairperson shall prepare and circulate an agenda for such meeting and, as soon as practicable, materials for the meeting; provided, however, that either Party may propose additional topics to be included on such agenda, prior to such meeting. A Committee may meet in person, by videoconference or by teleconference, provided that at least one meeting during each calendar year is in person. With the prior consent of the other Party’s representatives (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), each Party may invite non-members to participate in the discussions and meetings of a Committee, provided that such participants shall have no voting
20
rights or powers and shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Article 12. Each Party will bear the expense of its respective members’ participation in Committee meetings. Meetings of a Committee shall be effective only if at least two (2) representatives of each Party are present or participating in such meeting. The chairperson of a Committee will be responsible for preparing reasonably detailed written minutes of all Committee meetings that include material decisions made at such meetings. The chairperson shall send draft meeting minutes to each member of the Committee for review and approval within ten (10) business days after each Committee meeting. Such minutes will be deemed approved unless one or more members of the Committee objects to the accuracy of such minutes within ten (10) business days of receipt.
(d) Discontinuation of Participation in a Committee. At any time during the Term and for any reason, either Party shall have the right to withdraw from participation in a Committee upon written notice to the other Party, which notice shall be effective immediately upon receipt (“Withdrawal Notice”). Following the issuance of a Withdrawal Notice and subject to this Section 3.3(d), the applicable Committee shall be disbanded and all decisions expressly delegated to such Committee shall be made by a representative of the Parties subject to the escalation procedures in Section 14.2. If, at any time following the issuance of a Withdrawal Notice, such Party wishes to resume participating in the Committee, such Party shall notify the other Party in writing, and after thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, the Committee shall be reinstated and the terms of this Article 3 shall apply to such Committee from and after such date. For clarity, the withdrawal by a Party under this Section 3.2(d) shall only limit such Party’s rights and obligations under this Article 3 with respect to participation and decision-making in the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may not withdraw from or rejoin a Committee more than once during any Fiscal Year.
(e) Authority. The JSC and JDC shall each perform its responsibilities and make decisions under this Agreement based on the principles of prompt and diligent Development and Commercialization of Product in the Licensed Territory with Commercially Reasonable Efforts, consistent with good pharmaceutical practices and commercially reasonable consideration of the optimal balance of maximizing long-term profits derived from the sale of the Product in the Licensed Territory in the context of the estimated costs for Development and Commercialization of the Product in the Licensed Territory. The JSC and the JDC shall each have only the powers assigned expressly to it in this Article 3 and elsewhere in this Agreement, and shall not have any power to amend, modify or waive compliance with this Agreement. The JSC and JDC shall be responsible for setting overall strategic direction relating to and the Development Plan and Commercialization Plan as set forth in this Article 3, but day-to-day, tactical or operational matters with respect to the Development and Commercialization of the Product in the Licensed Territory will be decided, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, by the Party responsible hereunder for the execution of such matters.

(b) Amendments. From time to time and, on at least an annual basis, the JDC shall update and amend, as appropriate, the then-current Development Plan, including to address any changes to the Initial Studies that the JSC deems necessary to ensure the commercial viability of the Product. If either Party desires to materially change a study then set forth in the Development Plan or to conduct a study or other activity not then set forth in the Development Plan, such Party shall notify the JDC, and the JDC shall discuss such proposed changes and corresponding amendment to the Development Plan. In addition, if a Regulatory Authority in the Licensed Territory communicates to a Party that additional studies or material changes to then-contemplated studies may be required as a condition of approval of the MAA by such Regulatory Authority, or for appropriate reimbursement for the Product, the Parties shall immediately notify the JDC, and the JDC shall promptly meet to discuss a response to such Regulatory Authority decision. Within ninety (90) days after such meeting, the Parties shall prepare an amendment to the Development Plan to reflect the JDC’s discussion and decision, subject to Section 4.9. The JDC shall submit each amendment to the JSC for review and
22
approval. If the JSC fails to agree on any amendment to the Development Plan, the matter shall be submitted to the Designated Executives pursuant to Section 3.1(b) for resolution in accordance with Section 14.2. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party shall have the right to suspend, terminate or modify any Development activities conducted by such Party as reasonably necessary to ensure the health, safety or welfare of a subject in any clinical trial.
4.4 AMAG Development Responsibilities.
(a) Initial Studies.
(i) AMAG shall be responsible for conducting, at its sole cost and expense, subject to Sections 4.9(a)(ii), 4.9(a)(iii) and 4.9(b), the Development activities reasonably necessary to perform the studies set forth on Schedule 4.4(a) (the “Initial Studies”), as described in the Development Plan. AMAG shall have the right to use any and all data and results generated from the Initial Studies for any and all purposes outside the Licensed Territory. For the avoidance of doubt, Takeda shall have the right to use data and all other Information from the Initial Studies included in the AMAG Technology for the purposes of obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval for the Product in the Field in the Licensed Territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. AMAG shall in all material respects timely conduct all Development activities for the Initial Studies as set forth in the then-current Development Plan.
(ii) In the event that AMAG materially fails to perform the Initial Studies consistent with the then-current Development Plan (such failure referred to herein as an “Initial Studies Failure”), Takeda shall have the right to allege an Initial Studies Failure by written notice to AMAG, such notice to set forth the basis for such alleged failure in reasonable detail. AMAG shall have a period of [***] to cure such failure to Takeda’s reasonable satisfaction. If AMAG does not so cure such failure, then Takeda shall have the right to conduct the Initial Studies to which the material failure pertains in accordance with the then-current Development Plan as reasonably amended by Takeda, consistent with its obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts under Section 4.7, to mitigate the consequences of such failure. Takeda shall provide such amended Development Plan to the JDC promptly after preparation thereof. Upon Takeda’s exercise of such right, AMAG shall provide Takeda with its then-current budget for the Out-of-Pockets Costs for the applicable study and any supporting material reasonably requested by Takeda to the extent necessary or useful for Takeda to conduct such studies. If Takeda conducts such studies, AMAG shall, at its expense, take all actions reasonably required to transfer such studies to Takeda in a timely, efficient and effective manner, including procurement of manufacture and supply of the necessary Product for the studies and/or the management of the studies, which AMAG shall facilitate by introducing Takeda to AMAG’s Third Party vendors, including CROs, and, upon Takeda’s request, using reasonable efforts to

23
assign to Takeda or amend as appropriate any Third Party contracts to the extent related to such studies, [***]. Upon the [***] of an Initial Studies Failure, Takeda shall have the right to assume responsibility for and conduct the Initial Studies to which such failure pertains as provided above in this Section 4.4(a)(ii), notwithstanding AMAG’s timely cure of such Initial Studies Failure.
(b) U.S. Studies and Pediatric Studies.
(i) AMAG shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct, at its sole cost and expense, subject to Sections 4.9(a)(ii), 4.9(a)(iii) and 4.9(b), (x) a placebo-controlled Phase 3 Clinical Trial of the Product for iron deficiency anemia and a long-term retreatment study, for the purpose of generating data to submit to the FDA to support Regulatory Approval of the Product in the U.S. (the “U.S. Studies”) and (y) four (4) pediatric Phase 4 Clinical Trials set forth in the pediatric investigation plan approved by the Pediatric Committee of the EMA (the “Pediatric Studies”). A list of the U.S. Studies and Pediatric Studies is set forth on Schedule 4.4(b). For the avoidance of doubt, Takeda shall have the right to use data and all other Information from the U.S. Studies and the Pediatric Studies included in the AMAG Technology for the purposes of obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval for the Product in the Licensed Territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. AMAG shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to timely conduct all Development activities for the U.S. Studies and Pediatric Studies as set forth in the then-current Development Plan.
(ii) In the event that (x) AMAG does not complete the long-term retreatment study for iron deficiency anemia included in the U.S. Studies (“U.S. Retreatment Study”) as described in the Development Plan as of the Effective Date, [***] as set forth in the Development Plan as of the Effective Date, or (y) AMAG discontinues the U.S. Retreatment Study prior to its planned completion date, upon the occurrence of which AMAG shall immediately notify Takeda, then AMAG shall, at its expense, conduct an additional study (“New Retreatment Study”) to generate equivalent data in all material respects for Takeda to submit to the EMA. In such event, AMAG shall initiate (i.e., first dosing of the first patient) the New Retreatment Study [***], and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete the New Retreatment Study on a timely basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Takeda shall have the right to conduct the New Retreatment Study upon written notice to AMAG [***], in accordance with the then-current Development Plan as reasonably amended by the JDC and approved by the JSC to mitigate the consequences of such failure, if AMAG has not then initiated such study. Upon Takeda’s exercise of such right, AMAG shall provide Takeda with its then-current budget for the Out-of-Pockets Costs for the applicable study and any supporting material reasonably requested by Takeda to the extent necessary or useful for Takeda to conduct such studies. If Takeda conducts such study, AMAG shall be relieved of its obligation to conduct such study and shall, at its expense, take all actions reasonably required to transfer the study to Takeda in a timely,

efficient and effective manner, including procurement of manufacture and supply of the necessary Product for such study and/or the management of such study, which AMAG shall facilitate by introducing Takeda to AMAG’s Third Party vendors, including CROs, and, upon Takeda’s request, using reasonable efforts to assign or amend as appropriate any Third Party contracts to the extent related to such study, and [***].
(iii) In the event that (x) AMAG does not complete the Pediatric Studies as described in the Development Plan as of the Effective Date, [***], or (y) AMAG discontinues the Pediatric Studies prior to their planned completion date, upon the occurrence of which AMAG shall immediately notify Takeda, then AMAG shall, at its expense, conduct additional studies (“New Pediatric Studies”) to generate equivalent data in all material respects for Takeda to submit to the EMA. In such event, AMAG shall initiate (i.e., first dosing of the first patient) the New Pediatric Studies [***], and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete the New Pediatric Studies on a timely basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Takeda shall have the right to conduct the New Pediatric Studies upon written notice to AMAG [***], in accordance with the then-current Development Plan as reasonably amended by the JDC and approved by the JSC to mitigate the consequences of such failure, if AMAG has not then initiated such study. Upon Takeda’s exercise of such right, AMAG shall provide Takeda with its then-current budget for the Out-of-Pockets Costs for the applicable study and any supporting material reasonably requested by Takeda to the extent necessary or useful for Takeda to conduct such studies. If Takeda conducts such studies, AMAG shall be relieved of its obligation to conduct such studies and shall, at its expense, take all actions reasonably required to transfer such studies to Takeda in a timely, efficient and effective manner, including procurement of manufacture and supply of the necessary Product for such studies and/or the management of such studies, which AMAG shall facilitate by introducing Takeda to AMAG’s Third Party vendors, including CROs, and, upon Takeda’s request, using reasonable efforts to assign or amend as appropriate any Third Party contracts to the extent related to the clinical trials, and [***].
(iv) For clarity, if AMAG conducts the U.S. Retreatment Study and Pediatric Studies in accordance with the Development Plan, and the EMA or other Regulatory Authority in the Licensed Territory determines that such study is insufficient for approval of the MAA and an additional study is required, then such additional required study shall be a Future Required Study subject to Section 4.4(c) below and shall not be a New Retreatment Study or New Pediatric Study (as the case may be) subject to this Section 4.4(b).
(c) Future Required Studies.
(i) In addition to the Initial Studies, U.S. Studies and Pediatric Studies, AMAG shall be responsible for using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct (1) all studies that are required after the Effective Date by a Regulatory Authority in the Licensed Territory as a condition for approval of the MAA for iron deficiency anemia associated with

For clarity, an MAA for a patient population for which a previous MAA was not filed will be considered to be an MAA for a distinct Indication. AMAG shall have the right to use any and all data and results generated from the Future Required Studies for any and all purposes outside the Licensed Territory. For the avoidance of doubt, Takeda shall have the right to use data from the Future Required Studies included in the AMAG Technology for the purposes of obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval for the Product in the Licensed Territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. AMAG shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to timely conduct all Development activities for the Future Required Studies as set forth in the then-current Development Plan.
(ii) If Takeda desires to conduct any Future Required Studies in a country outside of Europe through its sublicensee of commercial rights in such country, Takeda shall notify AMAG, and the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith the qualifications of such sublicensee to conduct such activities and a budget for such activities, as well as AMAG’s qualifications and budget for such activities. Takeda shall have the right to conduct such activities through such sublicensee if such sublicensee is reasonably qualified (based on local requirements and capabilities) and if such budget is reasonably similar to AMAG’s budget for such activities.
(iii) In the event that AMAG materially fails to perform a Future Required Study consistent with the then-current Development Plan (such failure referred to herein as a “Future Required Study Failure”) Takeda shall have the right to allege a Future Required Study Failure by written notice to AMAG, such notice to set forth the basis for such alleged failure in reasonable detail. AMAG shall have a period of [***] to cure such failure to Takeda’s reasonable satisfaction. If AMAG does not so cure such failure, then Takeda shall have the right to conduct the Future Required Study to which the material failure pertains in accordance with the then-current Development Plan as reasonably amended by Takeda, consistent with its obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts under Section 4.7, to mitigate the consequences of such failure. Takeda shall provide such amended Development Plan to the JDC promptly after preparation thereof. Upon Takeda’s exercise of such right, AMAG shall provide Takeda with its then-current budget for the Out-of-Pockets Costs for the applicable study and any supporting material reasonably requested by Takeda to the extent necessary or useful for Takeda to conduct such studies. If Takeda conducts such studies, AMAG shall, at its expense, take all actions reasonably required to transfer such responsibility to Takeda in a timely, efficient and effective manner, including the responsibility for procuring the

Takeda shall have the right to use data from an Other AMAG Study included in the AMAG Technology only if Takeda bears a share of the costs and expenses for such study as provided in Section 4.9(c). Upon Takeda’s request, AMAG shall provide Takeda with a reasonably detailed plan and budget for the conduct of such Other AMAG Study. At any time between receipt of such plan and budget and completion (i.e., delivery of the final study report) of the Other AMAG Study, Takeda shall have the right to elect to opt in to such Other AMAG Study by providing written notice to AMAG. Upon such election, Takeda shall [***], such Other AMAG Study shall be a “Takeda Opt-In Study”, and such Takeda Opt-In Study shall be included in the Development Plan.

5.8 Regulatory Safety Reporting. Each Party shall be permitted, and have the right, to perform pharmacovigilance activities and/or make such safety reports to applicable Regulatory Authorities, to comply with applicable Laws, international best practices for pharmacovigilance activities and/or other activities that the Party, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, believes necessary for the health, safety and protection of patients and/or clinical trial subjects. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to agree to one opinion with respect to safety issues and to report said opinion to safety boards of any nature, investigators, and to applicable
35
Regulatory Authorities; provided, however, nothing in this Section 5.8 shall limit either Party’s right to report safety matters to Regulatory Authorities in its applicable territory.
5.9 Audit. If a Regulatory Authority desires to conduct an inspection or audit of a Party’s facility or a facility under contract with such Party with regard to the Product, then the audited Party shall notify the other Party within [***] days, or if not possible within such time period, then as soon as practicably possible, after receipt of such notification of such audit or inspection and provide copies of any materials provided to it by the applicable Regulatory Authority; provided, that the audited Party shall not be required to notify the other Party of audits or inspections that are of a routine nature or that do not relate to the Product or the Field, except where such audits result in communications or actions of such Regulatory Authority which have an impact upon the Product. The audited Party shall cooperate, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause the contract facility, if any, to cooperate, with such Regulatory Authority and the other Party during such inspection or audit. Following receipt of the inspection or audit observations of such Regulatory Authority (a copy of which the audited Party will immediately provide to the other Party), the audited Party will also provide the other Party with copies of any written communications received from Regulatory Authorities with respect to such facilities in a timely manner after receipt, to the extent such written communications relate to the Product or the Manufacture thereof, and will prepare the response to any such observations; provided that AMAG may redact CMC Information from any such written communications provided to Takeda. The audited Party will provide the other Party with a copy of any proposed response to such communications and will implement such other Party’s reasonable comments with respect to such proposed response; provided that AMAG may redact CMC Information from any such proposed response provided to Takeda. The audited Party agrees to conform its activities under this Agreement to any commitments made in such a response. In the event a Product Complaint relating to CMC Information occurs, the Parties shall cooperate to adequately and appropriately resolve the Product Complaint and, if and only to the extent necessary, AMAG shall disclose the subject CMC information to the CMC Recipients, who shall not disclose it to any other Takeda personnel.

(a) Measurement; Payment. The Parties recognize the possibility that customers or other Third Parties may purchase a Product sold by AMAG or a Third Party that has received Regulatory Approval in the Licensed Territory for use outside the Field and is sold for use outside the Field (a “Non-Field Product”) and use such Non-Field Product off-label in the Field in the Licensed Territory (such use being the “Off-label Use of Non-Field Product”). If Takeda believes that Off-label Use of Non-Field Product is occurring in any country in the Licensed Territory, Takeda may notify the JSC, providing reasonable evidence for such belief (such as data from a commercially available prescription claims database). The JSC shall promptly thereafter meet to discuss such evidence and establish a mechanism to track sales of such Non-Field Product in the Licensed Territory [***].
(b) Dispute Resolution. If the JSC cannot agree on: (i) the process and methodology to be implemented by the Parties in tracking sales of Non-Field Products in the Licensed Territory, (ii) the extent of Off-label Use of Non-Field Product, or [***], then in each such case, at the election of either Party, the Parties shall resolve such dispute in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit F.

38
under this Agreement after the Effective Date for use in connection with Commercializing the Product in the Licensed Territory (the “New Product Marks”). Takeda shall be solely responsible, at its expense, for filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing the New Product Marks, provided, however, that Takeda shall provide AMAG reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of the New Product Marks. AMAG shall be solely responsible, at its expense, for filing, prosecuting, and maintaining the AMAG Product Marks, provided, however, that AMAG shall provide Takeda reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of the AMAG Product Marks with respect to the Licensed Territory.
(b) House Marks. To the extent allowable by applicable Laws, Product packaging, promotional materials and Product labeling for use in the Licensed Territory shall carry, (i) one or more of the AMAG House Marks, subject to Takeda’s reasonable approval of the size, position, and location thereof, and (ii) at Takeda’s sole discretion, one or more of Takeda’s trademarks or trade names (the “Takeda Marks”). The Parties agree that the Takeda Marks and the AMAG House Marks shall be displayed under a general principle of co-prominence. AMAG shall own all right, title and interest in the AMAG House Marks and shall be solely responsible, at its expense, for filing, prosecuting, and maintaining the AMAG House Marks. Takeda shall own all right, title and interest in the Takeda Marks and shall be solely responsible, at its expense, for filing, prosecuting, and maintaining the Takeda Marks. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, AMAG hereby grants to Takeda a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use and display the AMAG House Marks solely in connection with the Commercialization of the Product in the Field in the Licensed Territory. If pursuant to Section 6.7(a) AMAG Product Marks are selected by Takeda to be used in connection with Commercializing the Product in the Licensed Territory, AMAG hereby grants to Takeda a royalty-free, exclusive license to use and display such AMAG Product Marks solely in connection with the Commercialization of the Product in the Field in the Licensed Territory, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Such licenses may be sublicensed by Takeda to an Affiliate or a Third Party sublicensee of Takeda’s right to Commercialize the Product granted in Section 2.1(a)(i).
(c) Inspection. From time to time during the Term, upon AMAG’s reasonable request, Takeda shall provide AMAG with samples of the final finished Product sold by Takeda or its Affiliates or sublicensees in the Licensed Territory. AMAG shall use such Product samples solely to inspect the quality of such Products and use of the AMAG Product Marks and AMAG House Marks.
(d) No Inconsistent Acts. Takeda acknowledges AMAG’s exclusive ownership of the AMAG Product Marks and AMAG House Marks and agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such ownership. Takeda shall not use any AMAG Product Mark or AMAG House Mark in a way that would adversely affect its value. Takeda covenants that it shall not use any trademark confusingly similar to any AMAG Product Mark or AMAG House Mark in connection with any products (including the Product). Takeda shall comply with reasonable policies provided by AMAG from time to time to maintain the goodwill and value of the AMAG Product Marks and AMAG House Marks. AMAG acknowledges Takeda’s exclusive ownership of the New Product Marks and agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such
39
ownership and covenants that it shall not use in the Licensed Territory any trademark confusingly similar to any AMAG Product Mark and/or the New Product Mark used in connection with the Commercialization of the Product in or outside the Field in the Licensed Territory.
ARTICLE 7
MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY
7.1 General Supply Terms. AMAG shall, itself or through one or more Third Party contract manufacturers, Manufacture the Product in finished form in unlabeled vials in accordance with the terms of Section 7.2, including the performance of all manufacturing process development and scale-up for the Product (and associated regulatory activities), and shall supply to Takeda, and Takeda shall purchase from AMAG, all of all of Takeda and its Affiliates’ and its/their sublicensees’ requirements of the Product for Development and Commercial activities as and to the extent set forth in this Agreement and the Supply Agreement. Takeda shall be responsible for labelling and packaging all Product supplied by AMAG to Takeda under the Supply Agreement.
7.2 Supply Agreement. On or before a date to be established by the JSC, the Parties shall enter into a supply agreement and quality agreement governing the supply of Product to Takeda in unlabeled finished form for clinical and commercial use, as well as the quality control and quality assurance procedures thereon (collectively the “Supply Agreement”) and any other operational agreements and procedures as deemed necessary by the Parties for such supply of the Product. The terms of such Supply Agreement shall be negotiated in good faith by the Parties in accordance with the terms of Schedule 7.2.
7.3 Second Source. As of the Effective Date, the Parties have agreed to a summary plan for sourcing Product attached hereto as Schedule 7.3 (the “Second Source Plan”) for clinical and commercial use in the Licensed Territory from a Designated Second Source Supplier. AMAG shall perform its activities under the Second Source Plan on a timely basis. The Parties may amend the Second Source Plan from time to time upon mutual written agreement, with such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld. Takeda shall have the right under the Supply Agreement to obtain Product for use in the Licensed Territory in accordance with Schedule 7.2.
7.4 Recalls and Voluntary Withdrawals. The Parties shall exchange their internal standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) for conducting product recalls reasonably in advance of the First Commercial Sale of Product in the Licensed Territory, and shall discuss and resolve any conflicts between such SOPs and issues relating thereto promptly after such exchange. If either Party becomes aware of information relating to any released Product that indicates that a unit or batch of Product may not conform to the specifications thereof, or that potential adulteration, misbranding, and/or other issues have arisen that relate to the safety or efficacy of such released Product, it shall promptly so notify the other Party. To the extent Takeda requires such information to comply with applicable Laws or to determine whether to conduct a recall, AMAG shall promptly disclose to the CMC Recipients any CMC Information related to such
40
nonconformance, adulteration, misbranding or other related issue. Takeda shall have the right, at its expense (except as provided herein), to control any Product recall, field correction, or withdrawal of any released Product in the applicable jurisdiction in the Licensed Territory; provided that prior to Takeda’s becoming Regulatory Lead with respect to EMA, Swissmedic and Health Canada, and for each country that the Parties agree that AMAG shall be the Regulatory Lead, in each case pursuant to Section 5.2, AMAG shall have the right to control any Product recall, field correction, or withdrawal of any released Product in the applicable jurisdiction and AMAG shall have the right to notify Takeda and request that such action be taken as a result of the manufacture of the Product. AMAG shall have the right, at its expense, to control any Product recall, field correction, or withdrawal of any released Product outside the Licensed Territory. AMAG shall be responsible for all costs incurred for any recall, field correction, or withdrawal of any released Product for the Licensed Territory to the extent such event of recall, field correction, or withdrawal is due to the breach by AMAG of this Agreement or the Supply Agreement. Takeda shall be responsible for all other costs incurred for any recall, field correction, or withdrawal of any released Product for the Licensed Territory. The procedures and consequences of such recalls shall be defined in the Supply Agreement. The Party having the right to control such recall pursuant to this Section 7.4 may, at its sole discretion, take appropriate courses of action, which shall be consistent with the internal SOPs of such Party; provided, however, that such controlling Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any recall action being considered and where practicable, consider the views of the non-controlling Party prior to taking any recall action. Takeda shall maintain complete and accurate records of any recall according to its then current SOPs in the Licensed Territory for such periods as may be required by applicable Laws, but in no event for less than three (3) years.

8.4 Royalties.
(a) Royalty Rates during Royalty Term. Subject to Sections 8.4(b) and 8.4(d) below, and during the applicable Royalty Term, Takeda shall pay to AMAG a running royalty at the following incremental royalty rates on aggregate Net Sales of the Product during a Fiscal Year in the Licensed Territory.
Net Sales in the Licensed Territory | | Tier Royalty Rate |
For that portion of Net Sales in a Fiscal Year less than or equal to [***] (Tier 1) | | [***] |

(c) Clarification. Takeda acknowledges that it will continue to benefit from its license under, and the transfer to Takeda of certain elements of, the AMAG Technology and AMAG Product Marks pursuant to this Agreement (including the AMAG Know-How licensed to Takeda, and the regulatory data to be provided to Takeda pursuant to this Agreement) as well as from Takeda’s own development of Takeda Know-How derived from the practice of such license and Takeda’s use of such AMAG Technology, even after the expiration of all AMAG Patents claiming the Product in a particular country of the Licensed Territory. In addition, Takeda acknowledges that the application of a uniform royalty structure for the Licensed Territory throughout the Royalty Term, followed by a reduced royalty after the expiration of the Royalty Term pursuant to Section 8.4(e), is more convenient to the Parties, facilitates the payment of royalties, and reduces accounting burdens on the Parties, as compared with a royalty structure dependent on the expiration of AMAG Patents and use of AMAG Product Marks during and after the Royalty Term. Accordingly, the Parties have agreed to apply the same
[***] INDICATES MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
43
royalty rate in the Licensed Territory throughout the Royalty Term, subject to Sections 8.4(b) and 8.4(d), and a reduced royalty following the Royalty Term. For the avoidance of doubt, the Net Sales of the Product in a country after the Royalty Term expires in such country shall not be included in the aggregate annual Net Sales for the calculation of a royalty pursuant to Section 8.4(a) or 8.4(b) and shall be used only to determine the royalty set forth in Section 8.4(e).
(d) Reduction of Royalty Following Entry of Generic Product. During the applicable Royalty Term, the royalty rates set forth in Section 8.4(a) for Net Sales in such country for a particular Product shall be reduced by [***] at the end of the first to occur [***] during which one or more Third Parties sells a number of equivalent units of a Generic Product of the applicable Product in such country of the Licensed Territory comprising, [***] of the aggregate combined number of equivalent units of such Product and such Generic Product(s) sold in such month in such country (“Generic Entry”). If in any month thereafter the number of equivalent units of Generic Product(s) sold decreases to [***] of the aggregate combined number of equivalent units of such Product and such Generic Product(s) sold in such month in such country, the royalty rate reduction set forth in this Section 8.4(d) shall no longer apply (unless and until the criteria set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.4(d) again applies). All such determinations of unit volume shall be based upon a mutually acceptable calculation method and using market share (on unit number basis) data provided by a reputable and mutually agreed upon provider, such as IMS Health. By way of example, if [***], then the above mentioned royalty reduction shall apply.
(e) After Royalty Term. Following the expiration of the Royalty Term in any country of the Licensed Territory, Takeda shall pay to AMAG a royalty of [***] of Net Sales of such Product in such country.
8.5 Third Party Royalties.
(a) AMAG Obligations. AMAG will be responsible for all amounts owed to Third Parties after the Effective Date pursuant to agreements with Third Parties regarding the Product entered into prior to the Effective Date. AMAG also will be solely responsible for all amounts owed to Third Parties after the Effective Date (A) pursuant to any future license or technology acquisition agreement under which AMAG obtains rights to Third Party Patents or Information (i) claiming the composition of matter, use or manufacture of the Product as in existence as of the Effective Date; or (ii) covering AMAG’s Manufacture of the Product and (B) paid in settlement or final judgement of a claim that the composition of matter, use or manufacture of the Product as in existence as of the Effective Date or AMAG’s Manufacture of the Product infringes the Patent of such Third Party.
(b) Takeda Obligations. Except as provided in Section 8.5(a), Takeda will be solely responsible for all amounts owed to Third Parties after the Effective Date pursuant to
[***] INDICATES MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
44
any future license or technology acquisition agreement under which Takeda obtains rights to Third Party Patents or Information related to the Development and Commercialization of the Product by Takeda, its Affiliates and their respective sublicensees in the Licensed Territory under this Agreement.
8.6 Royalty Reports and Payment. Within [***], Takeda shall provide AMAG with a report containing the following information for the applicable calendar month: the amount of gross sales of Product in the Licensed Territory, an itemized calculation of Net Sales in the Licensed Territory showing deductions, to the extent practicable, provided for in the definition of “Net Sales,” a calculation of the royalty payment due on such sales, an accounting of the number of units and prices for Product sold, the exchange rate for each country in which Product was sold, and [***] made in accordance with the terms of Section 8.4(b). Within [***], AMAG shall review and record such information as it determines necessary under its internal financial reporting procedures. Within [***], Takeda shall provide AMAG with a report containing the information described above in respect of such calendar quarter for AMAG’s review. In the event that either Party determines that the calculation of Net Sales for a calendar quarter deviates from the amounts previously reported to AMAG for any reason (such as, on account of additional amounts collected or Product returns), Takeda shall reasonably cooperate with AMAG to reconcile any such deviations to the extent necessary under applicable legal or financial reporting requirements. Within [***], Takeda shall pay all amounts due to AMAG pursuant to Section 8.4 with respect to Net Sales by Takeda, its Affiliates and their respective sublicensees for such calendar quarter. AMAG understands that some of the reductions may need annual review, so at the end of the each Fiscal Year, necessary reconciliation, if any, for true-up shall be made.
8.7 Foreign Exchange. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in Dollars owed to a Party under this Agreement shall be the quarterly average exchange rate between each currency of origin and Dollars as reported by Bloomberg on the last business day of the calendar quarter for which the relevant royalty payment applies.
8.8 Payment Method; Late Payments. All payments due to a Party hereunder shall be made in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by such Party. If such Party does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to such Party until the date of payment at the per annum rate of [***].
8.9 Records; Audits. Each Party will maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit (a) AMAG to confirm the accuracy of the calculation of royalty payments, and (b) with respect to any Increase in Scope, Takeda Opt-In Studies and AMAG Opt-In Studies, Takeda and AMAG to confirm the accuracy of the calculation of Out-of-Pocket Costs under this Agreement. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be available during

regular business hours for a period of three (3) years from the end of the Fiscal Year to which they pertain for examination at the expense of the auditing Party, and not more often than once each calendar year, by an independent certified public accountant selected by the auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the audited Party, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the financial reports and/or invoices furnished by the audited Party pursuant to this Agreement. Any such auditor shall not disclose the audited Party’s Confidential Information, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by such Party or the amount of payments due by or to such Party under this Agreement. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 8.8) from the original due date. Any amounts shown to have been overpaid shall be refunded within thirty (30) days from the accountant’s report. The auditing Party shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by the audited Party of more than five percent (5%) of the amount due, in which case the audited Party shall bear the full cost of such audit.
8.10 Taxes.
(a) Cooperation and Coordination. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual objective and intent to appropriately calculate, to the extent feasible and legal, taxes payable with respect to their collaborative efforts under this Agreement and that they shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate with each other to achieve such objective.
(b) Payment of Tax. A Party receiving a payment pursuant to this Article 8 shall pay any and all taxes levied on such payment. If applicable Laws require that taxes be deducted and withheld from a payment made pursuant to this Article 8, the remitting Party shall (i) deduct those taxes from the payment; (ii) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority; and (iii) send evidence of the obligation together with proof of payment to the other Party within ninety (90) days following that payment.
(c) Tax Residence Certificate. A Party (including any entity to which this Agreement may be assigned, as permitted under Section 16.5) receiving a payment pursuant to this Article 8 shall provide the remitting Party appropriate certification from relevant revenue authorities that such Party is a tax resident of that jurisdiction, if such receiving Party wishes to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which that jurisdiction is a party. Upon the receipt thereof, any deduction and withholding of taxes shall be made at the appropriate treaty tax rate.
(d) Assessment. Either Party may, at its own expense, protest any assessment, proposed assessment, or other claim by any Governmental Authority for any additional amount of taxes, interest or penalties or seek a refund of such amounts paid if permitted to do so by applicable Laws. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in any protest by providing records and such additional information as may reasonably be necessary for a Party to pursue such protest.

ARTICLE 9
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS
9.1 Ownership of Inventions; Assignment. Each Party shall own all right, title, and interest in and to any inventions made solely by such Party’s employees, agents, independent contractors and sublicensees in the course of conducting its activities under this Agreement during the Term, together with all intellectual property rights therein, including any rights to applications or other protections for any of the foregoing. The Parties shall jointly own all inventions made jointly by the employees, agents, independent contractors or sublicensees of each Party, in accordance with joint ownership interests of co-inventors under U.S. patent laws (that is, each Party shall have full rights to license, assign and exploit such joint inventions (and any patents arising therefrom) anywhere in the world, without any requirement of gaining the consent of, or accounting to, the other Party), subject to the licenses granted herein and subject to any other intellectual property held by such other Party; provided, however, that Takeda shall not have the right to practice any jointly owned invention in any activities related to a product that competes with the Product. The Parties shall determine which Party will file, prosecute and maintain the Patents claiming or covering such jointly owned inventions. Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with U.S. patent laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Takeda agrees to assign and hereby assigns and transfers to AMAG all of its right, title and interest in and to any such solely owned or jointly owned inventions that relate to the composition of matter, manufacture or use of the Product (“Product Inventions”), and agrees to take, and to cause its employees, agents, consultants and sublicensees to take, all further acts reasonably required to evidence such assignment and transfer to AMAG, at AMAG’s reasonable expense. Takeda hereby appoints AMAG as its attorney-in-fact to sign such documents as AMAG deems necessary for AMAG to obtain ownership and to apply for, secure, and maintain patent or other proprietary protection of such Product Inventions if AMAG is unable, after reasonable inquiry, to obtain Takeda’s (or its employee’s or agent’s) signature on such a document. Takeda hereby waives, on behalf of itself, its parent, subsidiaries, Affiliates and partners as well as all of its employees and independent contractors, any rights of first refusal it, he, or she may have with respect to any contemplated technology transfer, in whole or in part, of the Product Inventions or any related patent, patent application, copyright or copyright application related thereto as well as any right accorded to it, him, or her, by statute or otherwise, to use any Product Invention or any Patent or copyright related thereto. All Patents claiming or covering any Product Invention shall be referred to herein as “Product Patents.”
9.2 Disclosure of Inventions. Takeda shall, and shall cause its sublicensees to, promptly disclose to AMAG any invention disclosures, or other similar documents, submitted to it by its employees, agents or independent contractors describing inventions that may be Product Inventions, and all Information relating to such inventions to the extent necessary for the preparation, filing and maintenance of any Patent with respect to such invention.

In the event Takeda provides written notice expressing its interest in obtaining such AMAG Patent(s), AMAG shall assign and transfer to Takeda the ownership of, and interest in, such AMAG Patent(s) in the Licensed Territory, such transfer to be at Takeda’s reasonable expense (but without payment to AMAG). Thereafter, Takeda shall bear [***], and AMAG shall bear [***] of the costs of preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such assigned and transferred Patents, which shall not be treated as AMAG Patents and shall be treated as Takeda Patents, and Takeda may prosecute such Takeda Patents at its sole discretion; provided, however, in the event that Takeda decides to abandon or not maintain any such Patent(s), Takeda shall promptly provide AMAG with written notice of such decision.
(b) Takeda Patents. Takeda shall be solely responsible to file, prosecute and maintain Takeda Patents. With respect to Takeda Patents under which AMAG receives a royalty-bearing license pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, Takeda shall provide AMAG reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding such Takeda Patents, including by providing AMAG with a copy of material communications from any patent authority in the Licensed Territory regarding such Takeda Patent(s), and by providing drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities in advance of submitting such filings or responses.

(b) Infringement of AMAG Patents.
(i) If a Third Party infringes any AMAG Patent in the Licensed Territory by making, using, importing, offering for sale or selling the Product or a competitive product in the Field (a “Product Infringement”), each Party shall share with the other Party all Information available to it regarding such alleged infringement. Takeda shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such Product Infringement in the Licensed Territory, subject to Sections 9.5(b)(ii) through 9.5(b)(v), below.
(ii) Takeda shall have a period of ninety (90) days after the first notice under Section 9.5(a) to elect to enforce such AMAG Patent against such Product Infringement.

(c) Infringement of Takeda Patents. For any and all infringement of any Takeda Patent anywhere in the Licensed Territory, Takeda shall have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring, at Takeda’s expense and in its sole control, an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement of the Takeda Patent.
(d) Settlement. Each Party shall not settle any claim, suit or action that it brought under this Section 9.5 involving AMAG Patents without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that AMAG shall have the sole discretion to withhold consent in the event it determines that such settlement would restrict in any material respect the scope of the AMAG Patents or its rights or interests therein.
(e) Allocation of Proceeds. If either Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party in a suit or action brought under Section 9.5(b), 9.5(c), or 9.8(b) with respect to AMAG Patents or Takeda Patents, including in a settlement, such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Parties in such litigation (including, for this purpose, a reasonable allocation of expenses of internal counsel), and any remaining amounts shall be split as follows: (i) the portion of such amounts that represents recovery for lost sales in the Licensed Territory shall be retained by Takeda and treated as Net Sales, on which Takeda shall make a royalty payment pursuant to Section 8.4 (without applying any reduction under Section 8.4(d) to such portion), and (ii) any remaining amounts shall be allocated [***].
9.6 Infringement of Third Party Rights in the Licensed Territory.

If a Party desires to take a license under any applicable Third Party intellectual property rights for the purpose of Developing or Commercializing the Product in the Field, then such Party shall submit the terms of such license to the JSC for review and approval. Any such license agreement will require the applicable Third Party to grant licenses to both Takeda and AMAG for performing their respective obligations and exercising their respective rights in the Licensed Territory under this Agreement, will contain a release of any liabilities accrued prior to the effective date of such license agreement, and will be subject to the mutual agreement of the Parties.
9.7 Patent Marking. Takeda (or its Affiliate or sublicensee) shall mark Product marketed and sold by Takeda (or its Affiliate or sublicensee) hereunder with appropriate patent numbers or indicia; provided, however, that Takeda shall only be required to so mark such Product to the extent such markings or such notices (i) would affect recoveries of damages or equitable remedies available under applicable Laws with respect to infringements of patents in the Licensed Territory and (ii) would not incur unreasonable cost considering the market, patent or other circumstances of the Product in such Licensed Territory, subject to consultation with AMAG.

If Takeda does not bring such an action in the Licensed Territory, within ninety (90) days of notification thereof pursuant to this Section 9.8(a) (or earlier, if required by the nature of the proceeding), then AMAG shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring, at AMAG’s sole expense, such action. The Party not bringing an action under this Section 9.8(a) shall be entitled to separate representation in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and shall cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action. Any awards or amounts received in bringing any such action shall be retained by the Party initiating such action.
(b) Parties’ Patent Rights. If any AMAG Patent or Takeda Patent or Patent Term Extension related thereto becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party within the Licensed Territory in connection with an opposition, reexamination request, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, an action for infringement against a Third Party under Section 9.5, in which case the provisions of Section 9.5 shall govern), then the Party responsible for filing, preparing, prosecuting and maintaining such Patent or Patent Term Extension as set forth in Sections 9.3 or 9.4 hereof shall control such defense at its own cost and expense. The controlling Party shall permit the non-controlling Party to participate in the proceeding to the extent permissible under applicable Laws, and to be represented by its own counsel in such proceeding, at the non-controlling Party’s expense. If either Party decides that it does not wish to defend against such action, then the other Party shall have the right to assume defense of such Third-Party action at its own expense. Any awards or amounts received in defending any such Third-Party action shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 9.5(e).
(c) Compendial Listing and Register of Exclusive License.

In relation to the other Party’s review of such an announcement, such other Party may make specific, reasonable comments on such proposed press release within the prescribed time for commentary, but shall not withhold its consent to disclosure of the information that the relevant milestone has been achieved and triggered a payment hereunder. Neither Party shall be required to seek the permission of the other Party to repeat any information regarding the terms of this Agreement
59
that has already been publicly disclosed by such Party, or by the other Party, in accordance with this Section 12.3.
ARTICLE 13
TERM AND TERMINATION
13.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 13, shall remain in effect on a Product-by-Product and on a country-by-country basis until the cessation of all commercial sales of the Product in the Licensed Territory.
13.2 Unilateral Termination by Takeda.
(a) Termination Notice. Takeda may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, following: (i) [***] consultation with AMAG followed by [***] prior written notice, if such termination is effective prior to the First Commercial Sale of the Product anywhere in the Licensed Territory, or (ii) [***] consultation with AMAG followed by [***] prior written notice if such termination is effective after the First Commercial Sale of the Product anywhere in the Licensed Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Takeda may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, following [***] consultation with AMAG followed by [***] prior written notice, if Takeda has determined in good faith that the continued Development or Commercialization of the Product would not be in the best interest of patient welfare. In addition, Takeda may terminate this Agreement on a country-by-country basis at any time after expiration of the Royalty Term in a country by giving [***] prior written notice.
(b) Effect of Unilateral Termination. If Takeda terminates this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 13.2(a), then:
(i) Takeda shall not, during such applicable notice period, take any action that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the further Development and Commercialization of the Product in or outside the Licensed Territory; provided, however, that Takeda shall have the right to take any actions it deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to avoid any human health or safety problems;
(ii) Takeda shall be required to perform (and bear all costs and expenses of) any outstanding obligations of Takeda that accrued prior to the effective date of termination, but Takeda shall be released from any other obligations after the effective date of termination, unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Section 13.2;

60
(iii) Takeda shall be responsible for any reasonable and non-cancelable costs incurred by AMAG prior to the effective date of termination in connection with its supply of Product to Takeda under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement, provided, however, that upon receipt of notice from Takeda, AMAG shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize such non-cancelable costs; and
(iv) the JSC shall coordinate the wind-down of Takeda’s efforts under this Agreement, and the provisions of Section 13.6 shall apply.
13.3 Termination for Breach. AMAG shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Takeda for material breach by Takeda of its obligations under this Agreement if, after receiving written notice identifying such material breach, Takeda fails to cure such material breach within [***] from the date of such notice (or within [***] in the event such breach is solely based upon Takeda’s failure to pay any undisputed amounts due AMAG hereunder); provided, however, that AMAG shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement for Takeda’s breach of its obligations under Section 4.7 to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct any Development activities that Takeda assumes pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(ii), 4.4(b)(ii), 4.4(b)(iii) or 4.4(c)(iii). Takeda shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to AMAG for material breach by AMAG of its obligations under this Agreement if, after receiving written notice identifying such material breach, AMAG fails to cure such breach within [***] from the date of such notice (or within [***] in the event such breach is solely based upon AMAG’s failure to pay any undisputed amounts due Takeda hereunder). If a material breach affects and relates only to one or more of [***], then such termination right (a) shall be only with respect to the Region(s) affected by such material breach or to which such material breach relates, [***], and (b) shall be subject to any other express provisions of this Agreement providing for notice and cure of a Party’s alleged breach hereunder. No payment or agreement to pay under this Agreement (including those referred to as nonrefundable or non-creditable) shall in any way preclude or limit the rights of either Party to seek the full recovery of its damages or to seek equitable relief for breach of this Agreement by the other Party.
13.4 Termination for Patent Challenge. AMAG shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Takeda, effective upon receipt, if (a) Takeda or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly: (i) initiates or requests an interference, opposition proceeding or request for ex parte or inter parties reexamination with respect to any AMAG Patent, or (ii) makes, files or maintains any claim, demand, lawsuit or cause of action to challenge the validity or enforceability of any an AMAG Patent (each, a “Patent Challenge”), or (b) a sublicensee of Takeda (or an Affiliate of such sublicensee) undertakes a Patent Challenge and Takeda fails to terminate the applicable sublicenses in accordance with Section 2.1(c), provided that for any such proceeding that can be terminated by Takeda after initiation, AMAG provides Takeda with

61
a notice of termination at least [***] prior to such termination and Takeda does not within such [***] period withdraw and terminate such Patent Challenge. If Takeda or its Affiliates or sublicensees withdraw such Patent Challenge and such proceeding is terminated within such [***] period, then AMAG shall have no right to terminate under this Section 13.4.
13.5 Termination for Bankruptcy. A Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to the other Party upon or after the time that such other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files an insolvency petition in bankruptcy, petitions for or acquiesces in the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar officer to liquidate or conserve its business or any substantial part of its assets, commences under the laws of any jurisdiction any proceeding involving its insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, adjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any other similar proceeding for the release of financially distressed debtors or becomes a party to any proceeding or action of the type described above and such proceeding or action remains un-dismissed or un-stayed for a period of more than [***].
13.6 AMAG Rights upon Termination of the Agreement. Upon the early termination of this Agreement by Takeda under Section 13.2(a), by either Party under Section 13.3 due to the other Party’s material uncured breach, or by AMAG under Section 13.4 for Patent Challenge, the following shall apply (in addition to any other rights and obligations under Section 13.2, 13.3 or 13.4 or otherwise under this Agreement with respect to such termination). For the avoidance of doubt, in case of termination for a particular Region(s), the following provisions shall apply solely for such Region(s):
(a) Regulatory Materials; Data; Trademarks. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, Takeda shall transfer and assign to AMAG all Regulatory Materials, Regulatory Approvals, and related data relating to the Product existing as of the date of such termination throughout the Licensed Territory as and to the extent owned or Controlled by Takeda, and shall assign to AMAG all of its right, title and interest in the New Product Marks.
(b) Takeda License. Takeda hereby grants to AMAG, effective only in event of such termination, an exclusive, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to grant multiple tiers of sublicenses, under the Takeda Technology existing and actually used and applied as of the date of such termination to Develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, have sold, import and otherwise Commercialize the Product in the Licensed Territory, which license shall be effective as of the date of such termination.
(c) Transition Assistance. For one (1) year following the effective date of such termination, Takeda shall provide such assistance, [***] as may be reasonably necessary or useful for AMAG to commence or continue Developing, Manufacturing or Commercializing Product in the Licensed Territory, to the extent Takeda is then performing or having performed

62
such activities, including transferring or amending as appropriate, upon request of AMAG, any agreements or arrangements with Third Party vendors to Develop, Manufacture, distribute or sell Product in the terminated Regions of the Licensed Territory. To the extent that any such contract between Takeda and a Third Party is not assignable to AMAG, then Takeda shall reasonably cooperate with AMAG to arrange to continue to provide such services from such entity for so long as may be reasonably necessary to transition such services, provided, however, this cooperation shall not be construed as an obligation and/or promise of Takeda to ensure that any new arrangement between AMAG and a Third Party vendor is established. In addition, upon any termination of this Agreement under Section 13.2(a), Takeda shall pay its share (if any) of costs for (i) the completion of any ongoing clinical trial of the Product to the extent such costs are incurred for those patients already enrolled in the trial at the time of giving the termination notice and (ii) uncancellable obligations incurred to Third Parties as a direct result of cancellation of such trial.
13.7 Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by AMAG are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that Takeda, as the licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against AMAG under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Takeda shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in Takeda’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon Takeda’s written request therefor, unless AMAG elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under clause (a), following the rejection of this Agreement by AMAG upon written request therefor by Takeda.
13.8 Survival. The following provisions shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for the period of time specified: Sections 2.2(b), 2.6, 5.1(b), 8.9, 9.1, 9.2, 10.5, 13.2(b), 13.6, 13.8, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5, 14.6 and 14.7 and Articles 11, 12, 15 and 16. For clarity and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, termination of this Agreement shall be in addition to, and shall not prejudice, the Parties’ remedies at law or in equity, including the Parties’ ability to receive legal damages and/or equitable relief with regard to any breach of this Agreement, regardless of whether or not such breach was the reason for the termination.
ARTICLE 14

ARTICLE 15

During the [***] (the “Standstill Period”), none of Takeda, Takeda’s Affiliates, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives (provided such person is acting on behalf of Takeda or is in possession of Confidential Information of AMAG) will, in any manner, directly or indirectly, without the prior express written consent of AMAG:
(a) acquire, offer to acquire or agree to acquire, alone or in concert with any other Person, by purchase, tender offer, exchange offer, agreement or business combination or any other manner: (i) more than [***] of the beneficial ownership of any securities of AMAG or any securities of any Affiliate of AMAG; or (ii) any assets of AMAG or any assets of any Affiliate of AMAG other than non-material acquisitions in the ordinary course of business;

66
15.2 Exceptions to Standstill.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, the provisions of Section 15.1 shall not apply to:
(i) the exercise by Takeda of any of its rights under this Agreement;
(ii) the exercise by Takeda as an AMAG stockholder, if applicable, of any voting rights available to AMAG stockholders generally pursuant to any transaction described Section 15.1(a)(ii) or (b) above, provided that Takeda has not then either directly, indirectly, or as a member of a Group made, effected, initiated or caused such transaction to occur;
(iii) any activity by Takeda after AMAG has made any public announcement of its intent to solicit or engage in any transaction which would result in a Change of Control of AMAG, or after any such Change of Control of AMAG shall have occurred;
(iv) making any communication to AMAG executive management on a confidential basis that Takeda would be interested in engaging in discussions with AMAG that could result in a negotiated transaction described in Section 15.1(a) or (b) so long as Takeda does not propose any such transaction without AMAG’s prior consent.
(v) any investment by Takeda or an Affiliate of Takeda in third-party mutual funds or other similar passive investment vehicles that hold interests in securities of AMAG or any of its Affiliates (and any such interests in securities shall not be taken into account for the purpose of Section 15.1(a)), provided that the provisions of this clause (v) shall apply with respect to any such fund or vehicle only for so long as such fund or vehicle satisfies the requirements of paragraphs (i) and (ii) of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to any AMAG securities held by such fund or vehicle; or
(vi) Takeda’s engagement and/or discussions with legal, accounting, or financial advisors for the limited purposes of evaluating any of the transactions contemplated in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of Section 15.1.
(b) Except as provided in Section 15.3 below, the restrictions of Section 15.1 no longer shall be applicable in the event of the occurrence of any of the following:
(i) AMAG enters into a definitive written merger, sale or other business combination agreement pursuant to which fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding common stock of AMAG would be converted into cash or securities of another Person or Group or, immediately after the consummation of such transaction, fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding common stock of AMAG would be owned by Persons other than the holders of common stock of AMAG immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or which would result in all or substantially all of AMAG’s assets being sold to any Person or Group;
67
(ii) AMAG becomes the subject of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding (except for an involuntary proceeding that is dismissed within sixty (60) days);
(iii) AMAG engages in the public solicitation of one (1) or more Third Party bids for any transaction which would result in a Change of Control of AMAG.
AMAG shall inform Takeda in writing within 48 hours after the occurrence of any of the foregoing events listed in this Section 15.2(b).
15.3 Reinstatement of Standstill. The provisions of Section 15.1 shall again be applicable if: (a) AMAG or such Third Party, Person or Group, as applicable, terminates or announces its intent not to proceed with any transaction referred to in Sections 15.2(a)(iii) and 15.2(b)(i) or (iii) above, as applicable, or, in the case of Section 15.2(b)(ii) above, AMAG shall cease to be the subject of any such bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, as applicable; and (b) either (1) Takeda has not made any public announcement of its intent to acquire AMAG, or (2) in the event such a public announcement has been made by Takeda, Takeda has terminated or announced its intent to terminate such transaction.
15.4 Most Favored Nations Treatment. If, during the Standstill Period, AMAG enters into any development and commercialization agreement with a Third Party that is similar in size and scope to this Agreement (the “Third Party Agreement”), which does not contain provisions restricting the activities of such Third Party that, taken as a whole (the “Third Party Standstill Provisions”), are at least as onerous to the Third Party as the provisions of Section 15.1, then, upon the effective date of the Third Party Agreement, the provisions of Section 15.1 shall automatically be deemed modified without further action so as to conform to the Third Party Standstill Provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that if the Third Party Agreement contains no standstill provision, Article 15 shall terminate in its entirety upon the effective date of the Third Party Agreement.
The expiration of the Standstill Period will not terminate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 16
MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, that the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement between the Parties dated May 19, 2009 (the “CDA”) shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as are set forth
68
herein and in the CDA. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party.
16.2 Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall include conditions beyond the control of the Parties, including an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, and failure of plant or machinery (provided that such failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill, diligence, and prudence that would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and experienced person engaged in the same type of undertaking under the same or similar circumstances). If a force majeure persists for more than [***], then the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such force majeure.
16.3 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement, and shall be addressed to the appropriate Party at the address specified below or such other address as may be specified by such Party in writing in accordance with this Section 16.3, and shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes (a) when received, if hand-delivered or sent by a reputable courier service, or (b) five (5) business days after mailing, if mailed by first class certified or registered airmail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.

16.4 No Strict Construction; Headings. This Agreement has been prepared jointly by the Parties and shall not be strictly construed against either Party. Ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement shall not be construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision. The headings of each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section. Except where the context otherwise requires, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders, and the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or). The term “including” as used herein means including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term.
16.5 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except that a Party may make such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to its Affiliates or to a Third Party successor to substantially all of the business of such Party in connection with a Change of Control of such Party (such Third Party, an “Acquiror”). Any successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations permitted hereunder shall, in writing to the other Party, expressly
70
assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 16.5 shall be null, void and of no legal effect. A “Change of Control” of a Party shall occur if: (i) any Third Party acquires directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of any voting security of such Party, or if the percentage ownership of such person or entity in the voting securities of such Party is increased through stock redemption, cancellation or other recapitalization, and immediately after such acquisition or increase such Third Party is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of voting securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of all of the then-outstanding voting securities of such Party; (ii) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, or reorganization of such Party is consummated, other than any such transaction which would result in stockholders or equity holders of such Party or an Affiliate of such Party immediately prior to such transaction owning at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding securities of the surviving entity (or its parent entity) immediately following such transaction; or (iii) the stockholders or equity holders of such Party approve a plan of complete liquidation of such Party, or an agreement for the sale or disposition by such Party of all or a substantial portion of such Party’s assets, other than to an Affiliate.
16.6 Performance by Affiliates. Each Party may discharge any obligations and exercise any right hereunder through any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.
16.7 Further Actions. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
16.8 Severability.

JOINT PRESS RELEASE
AMAG Pharmaceuticals and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Announce Strategic Collaboration for Feraheme® in All Therapeutic Indications in Select Ex-US Territories, Including Europe
LEXINGTON, MA and Osaka, Japan (April 1, 2010) — AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAG) and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TSE: 4502) today jointly announced that the companies have entered into a license, development and commercialization agreement related to Feraheme® (ferumoxytol) Injection for intravenous (IV) use in all therapeutic indications.
Agreement Highlights
· Takeda receives an exclusive license to Feraheme for all therapeutic applications in 5 regions, including Europe, Canada, Turkey, the Commonwealth of Independent States and Asia Pacific countries, excluding Japan, China and Taiwan.
· AMAG receives a $60 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to $220 million in development and commercial milestones. Additionally, AMAG will receive tiered, double-digit royalties based on net sales of Feraheme in the licensed territories.
· AMAG will execute and fund the global clinical development of Feraheme in all potential therapeutic indications. AMAG will also be initially responsible for the filing of regulatory applications for Feraheme in Europe and Canada, with Takeda responsible for the regulatory filings in all other regions covered by the agreement. Takeda will eventually hold all marketing authorizations in the licensed territories.
· Takeda will be responsible for commercializing Feraheme in all regions included in the licensed territories.
“One of our primary goals is to expand the reach of Feraheme to patients around the world with iron deficiency anemia,” said Brian J.G. Pereira, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. “Takeda’s global presence, their pipeline that includes complementary products to Feraheme and their strength in the marketing and commercialization of therapeutics across many specialties where iron deficiency anemia is present makes them the ideal partner for Feraheme.”
“This partnership provides an exciting opportunity to combine AMAG’s unique development abilities with Takeda’s global commercialization capabilities,” said Alan MacKenzie, Executive Vice President, International Operations & CEO, Takeda Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. “Takeda is poised to maximize Feraheme’s entry into the selected countries following approval.”
Currently, Feraheme is approved in the United States for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adult patients with chronic kidney disease. AMAG plans to submit a marketing authorization application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for Feraheme for the treatment of IDA in adult patients with chronic kidney disease in Europe in mid-2010. Additionally, AMAG plans to initiate a broad global registrational program for Feraheme for the treatment of IDA regardless of the underlying cause in mid-2010.

Important Safety Information about Feraheme
Feraheme is indicated for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adult patients with chronic kidney disease. Feraheme is contraindicated in patients with evidence of iron overload, known hypersensitivity to Feraheme or any of its components, and patients with anemia not caused by iron deficiency.
In clinical studies, serious hypersensitivity reactions were reported in 0.2% (3/1,726) of subjects receiving Feraheme. Other adverse reactions potentially associated with hypersensitivity (e.g., pruritus, rash, urticaria or wheezing) were reported in 3.7% (63/1,726) of subjects. Patients should be observed for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity for at least 30 minutes following Feraheme injection and the drug should only be administered when personnel and therapies are
readily available for the treatment of hypersensitivity reactions. 1.9% (33/1,726) of Feraheme-treated subjects experienced hypotension. Please monitor for signs and symptoms of hypotension following each Feraheme injection. Excessive therapy with parenteral iron can lead to excess storage of iron with the possibility of iatrogenic hemosiderosis. Patients should be regularly monitored for hematologic response during parenteral iron therapy, noting that lab assays may overestimate iron and transferrin bound iron values in the 24 hours after administration of Feraheme. As a superparamagnetic iron oxide, Feraheme may transiently affect magnetic resonance diagnostic imaging studies for up to 3 months following the last Feraheme dose. Feraheme will not affect X-ray, (CT, PET, SPECT, ultrasound, or nuclear imaging.
In clinical trials, the most commonly occurring adverse reactions in Feraheme treated patients versus oral iron treated patients reported in > 2% of chronic kidney disease patients were diarrhea (4.0% vs. 8.2%), nausea (3.1% vs. 7.5%), dizziness (2.6% vs. 1.8%), hypotension (2.5% vs. 0.4%), constipation (2.1% vs. 5.7%) and peripheral edema (2.0% vs. 3.2%). In clinical trials, adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation and occurring in 2 or more Feraheme-treated patients included hypotension, infusion site swelling, increased serum ferritin level, chest pain, diarrhea, dizziness, ecchymosis, pruritus, chronic renal failure, and urticaria.

2. Within twenty-one (21) days following receipt of the original ADR notice, the Parties shall select a mutually acceptable panel of three (3) neutrals to preside in the resolution of any disputes in this ADR proceeding. If the Parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable panel of three (3) neutrals within such period, either Party may request the President of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”), 575 Lexington Avenue, 21st floor New York, New York 10022, to select a panel of three (3) neutrals pursuant to the following procedures:

(c) Each Party shall number the candidates in order of preference (with the number one (1) signifying the greatest preference) and shall deliver the list to the CPR within [***] following receipt of the list of candidates. If a Party believes a conflict of interest exists regarding any of the candidates, that Party shall provide a written explanation of the conflict to the CPR along with its list showing its order of preference for the candidates. Any Party failing to return a list of preferences on time shall be deemed to have no order of preference.
(d) If the Parties collectively have identified fewer than four (4) candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR immediately shall designate as the panel of three (3) neutrals the three candidates for whom the Parties collectively have indicated the greatest preference.

(b) If the panel rules in favor of one Party on some issues and the other Party on other issues, the panel shall issue with the rulings a written determination as to how such fees and expenses shall be allocated between the Parties. The panel shall allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship to the outcome of the ADR, 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.
9. The rulings of a majority of the panel and the allocation of fees and expenses shall be binding, non-reviewable, and non-appealable, and may be entered as a final judgment in any court having jurisdiction.

This Schedule 7.2 describes the basic scope and principles to be included in the Supply Agreement, which will govern supply of Takeda’s requirements of both clinical and commercial quantities of the Product pursuant to the terms of Article 7 of the License, Development and Commercialization Agreement (the “Agreement”).
Scope
1) Each Party shall appoint appropriate representatives to negotiate the Supply Agreement.
2) This Schedule 7.2 is not intended to include all terms and conditions anticipated to be included in the Supply Agreement. The Supply Agreement will describe and define the procedures, terms and conditions for forecasting, manufacture, quality assurance, delivery, price, payment and appropriate other activities relating to the supply of the Product in the Field and in the Licensed Territory consistent with the terms described below and will contain such other terms and conditions customarily contained in supply agreements in the pharmaceutical industry, including without limitation warranties and indemnities.
General
1) Takeda shall purchase exclusively from AMAG, and AMAG shall supply, all of Takeda’s and its Affiliates’ and its/their sublicensees’ requirements of the Product, except as otherwise provided in this Schedule 7.2 and the Agreement. AMAG shall supply Takeda (either by itself or through its Designated Second Source Suppliers (each, a “DSS”)) with the Product in unlabeled finished form for use under the Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement.
2) The term of the Supply Agreement shall be coextensive with the Term of the Agreement.
3) AMAG shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to manage Takeda’s supply needs (e.g., volumes and unit costs) for the Licensed Territory in a manner proportionate to AMAG’s supply needs outside the Licensed Territory.
23
Price/ Payment
1) The purchase price for commercial and clinical supply shall be [***].
[***]
2) The Supply Agreement will include a mechanism for applying annual volume-based pricing, which may include an annual true-up or other adjustment mechanism agreed by the Parties.
3) “Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost” means the consolidated fully burdened cost incurred by AMAG in the Manufacture of Product (calculated in accordance with GAAP) of the following items: (i) direct and indirect cost of any materials; (ii) direct labor costs (including benefits); (iii) factory overhead (fixed and variable); (iv) operating costs of facilities and equipment (including idle plant capacity); (v) a charge for depreciation and repairs and maintenance costs of facilities and equipment; (vi) quality and in-process control costs; and (vii) charges for spoilage and scrap. Each such cost described in items (i) through (vii) above shall be determined in accordance with AMAG’s accounting practices applied on a normal and customary basis by AMAG consistent with its practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost shall not include any costs for unusable batches resulting from AMAG’s failure to conduct its manufacturing activities in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement or any profit related to inter-company transfer pricing. To the extent that a Product, or any component thereof, is Manufactured for AMAG by a Third Party, amounts paid by AMAG to such Third Party directly for Manufacture will be added, without mark up, to the aggregate amount of the foregoing items.

4) Payment terms are [***] from receipt of invoice (invoice will not be issued prior to shipment).
5) [***]
6) AMAG shall consult with Takeda regarding any capital equipment proposed to be acquired for use in supplying Product to Takeda and for which Takeda would bear all or some portion of the costs. Takeda will be responsible to AMAG for any capital equipment expenditures made after the Effective Date to the extent attributable to AMAG’s supply of Product to Takeda for the Licensed Territory where Takeda agrees to such expenditures or to the extent that such capital equipment purchase is reasonably necessary to the manufacture of the Product for
[***] INDICATES MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
the Licensed Territory. If any such equipment is attributable to both the Licensed Territory and outside the Licensed Territory, the Parties will use good faith efforts to agree on a reasonable allocation of such expenditures to the Licensed Territory and outside the Licensed Territory, based on the volumes supplied for each such territory. The Supply Agreement will include a mechanism for resolving any disagreement between the Parties as to the acquisition of any such equipment and/or the allocation between the Parties of the expenditure.
Forecasting and Ordering
1) Commencing twelve (12) months prior to the anticipated First Commercial Sale of the Product in the Licensed Territory, and at the beginning of each calendar quarter thereafter, Takeda shall provide AMAG with twelve (12) month rolling forecasts of its requirements of the Product for the Licensed Territory, [***] of which shall be binding. Each such forecast shall be consistent with Takeda’s projected commercial sales of the Product in the Licensed Territory on a quarterly basis. If the First Commercial Sale of the Product is delayed, upon Takeda’s request, AMAG will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to utilize outside of the Licensed Territory those quantities of Product representing the binding portion of such forecasts.
2) If Takeda places an order exceeding its forecast for the period to which the purchase order applies, AMAG shall supply up to [***] of Takeda’s forecasted quantities for such period. AMAG shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply Takeda with any quantities of Product over [***] of the relevant forecast for such period. For clarity, any capital expenditure required for such increased amounts shall be addressed through the mechanism above in Price/Payment (item 6).
3) The Supply Agreement will contain mutually agreed information sharing and planning procedures with respect to the forecasting, supply and quality of the Product, including a mechanism for addressing increases and decreases to the non-binding portion of Takeda’s forecast.
Delivery
Delivery requirements, location and Incoterms shall be defined in the Supply Agreement.
[***] INDICATES MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
Manufacture and Quality Control
1) Product shall be manufactured in compliance with cGMP, as defined by Regulatory Authorities within the Licensed Territory. The Product shall be manufactured according to specifications for the Product set forth in the Supply Agreement (“Specifications”), which initially shall be the specifications for Product supplied by AMAG for the U.S. as of the Effective Date.
2) The Supply Agreement will contain change control procedures for the Specifications and other related matters. Change requests will be made pursuant to a written change request process agreed by both parties. The change request process will also document any changes to estimated timelines and costs. The parties must mutually agree to any changes to the Specifications, including any changes that require prior approval by a Regulatory Authority. Takeda will bear the cost of any approved changes to the extent requested by it or implemented in connection with any change to comply with regulatory requirements or any Regulatory Approval in the Licensed Territory; provided that AMAG shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement such changes in a cost-effective manner.
3) The Supply Agreement shall define a procedure for notification of each party in the event of a product complaint from the field or product recall.
4) The Supply Agreement shall define a procedure for resolution of any disputes regarding product quality.
5) The Supply Agreement shall define safety and waste handling procedures relating to the Product and its Manufacture.
6) Some or all of items (1)-(5) may be included in the quality agreement (as described below).
7) Each Party will have a reciprocal audit right allowing, during regular business hours, reasonable access by the other Party’s quality assurance, quality control, compliance and other relevant personnel (including the other Party’s consultants who are under the same confidentiality and limited use obligations under this Agreement), upon reasonable notice, to audit its facilities and/or its contract manufacturing/laboratory sites where the Product is manufactured, packaged, labeled and/or tested, and shall allow reasonable access to related documentation; provided that AMAG shall have the right to redact CMC Information from any documentation provided to Takeda. The purpose of such audit shall be to assess compliance with the cGMP and applicable Laws in the country of manufacture.
Transfer of Analytical Methods (QA)
The Supply Agreement will contain mutually acceptable provisions regarding release testing of the Product and, if applicable, the transfer of information necessary for Takeda to perform required quality testing, as applicable.
Quality Agreement
The parties will work in good faith to complete a quality agreement on a mutually agreed time frame prior to First Commercial Sale of the Product, or as soon as practicable following the Effective Date if the Parties determine a quality agreement is necessary with respect to clinical supply of Product.
Second Source / Safety Stock
1) The Supply Agreement will contain detailed procedures for implementing the Second Source Plan in accordance with Section 7.3 of the Agreement and this Schedule 7.2.
2) AMAG shall pay all costs associated with qualifying, initiating and maintaining each DSS as set forth in the Second Source Plan as of the Effective Date. Costs for additional qualification, initiation and maintenance of such DSSs or additional designated second source suppliers will be allocated between AMAG and Takeda to the extent attributable to outside the Licensed Territory and the Licensed Territory, respectively. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to agree on a reasonable allocation, based on the volumes supplied for each such territory.
3) AMAG and/or its DSS shall manufacture and maintain at a designated facility at AMAG’s expense a safety stock of Product inventory exclusive to Takeda in an amount equal to [***] in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement. On a quarterly basis, AMAG shall inform Takeda of the then-current inventory and other relevant information for the safety stock. AMAG shall have the right to supply Takeda Product from the safety stock. AMAG shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to restore safety stock as soon as reasonably practicable. The Supply Agreement will include a mechanism to address the situation where AMAG is unable to restore safety stock to the required level within a mutually agreed time period.
4) AMAG shall have the right to use a DSS for the supply of Product to Takeda for the Licensed Territory (e.g., to supplement existing capacity, to purchase safety stock, or to obtain more favorable pricing for AMAG and Takeda). AMAG shall notify and consult with Takeda regarding any such decision and keep Takeda reasonably informed of its use of the DSS. AMAG will consider Takeda’s comments to such arrangement in good faith and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that Takeda’s current and anticipated demand of the Product, consistent with amounts forecasted by Takeda, will be met in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement, and that any incremental cost for supply of
[***] INDICATES MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
Product from the DSS is reasonably allocated to the Licensed Territory and outside the Licensed Territory, based on the volume demands of each such territory. In the event AMAG sources Product to supply to Takeda from a DSS, AMAG shall provide such Product to Takeda [***].
5) If Takeda anticipates specific Product sourcing needs in a Product configuration not in existence as of the Effective Date (e.g., package size or dosage form specific to the Licensed Territory), Takeda shall notify AMAG, and the Parties shall meet to discuss such needs in good faith and a reasonable means for satisfying Takeda’s request for Product. The Parties anticipate that AMAG shall be the supplier of such Product. AMAG shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to satisfy Takeda’s new Product supply needs itself or through one or more DSS, subject to the Parties’ mutual written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. [***] If any such expenses are attributable to both the Licensed Territory and outside the Licensed Territory, the Parties will use good faith efforts to agree on a reasonable allocation of such expenses to the Licensed Territory and outside the Licensed Territory, based on the volumes supplied for each such territory.
6) As to be further detailed in the Supply Agreement, Takeda shall have the right to obtain Product for use in the Licensed Territory from a DSS through a contract to which AMAG is a party upon the following events: (A) an Insolvency Event of AMAG, (B) a failure by AMAG, in any calendar quarter, to supply in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement at least [***] (C) a failure by AMAG, in each of two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, to supply in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement [***] (each of (A) through (C), a “Transfer Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Transfer Event, Takeda shall notify AMAG of its intent to source from the DSS and shall have the right to purchase from the DSS that amount of Product that AMAG failed to supply based upon Takeda’s binding purchase orders, plus any additional amount that takes into consideration the current deficit (if any) in safety stock, Takeda’s customer’s orders for the applicable calendar quarter, and minimum batch sizes or other minimum supply requirements imposed by a DSS. For clarity, Takeda’s rights under this item (6) (and the licenses granted in Section 2.1(a) of the Agreement) are limited solely to obtaining Product from a DSS, and Takeda shall have no right to receive (or provide to any Third Party) any AMAG Know-How related to Manufacturing of the Product except for the CMC Information expressly provided in the Agreement or to the extent that disclosure of AMAG Know-How is reasonably required for Takeda to Finish the Product. The Supply Agreement shall detail AMAG’s obligations to make all reasonably necessary arrangements with its DSS, which
[***] INDICATES MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
may include, but is not limited to, amendment of its supply agreement with a DSS, to ensure that Takeda has the right and ability to fully exercise its rights under the Supply Agreement, to purchase its requirements of Product (including drug substance) from a DSS upon the occurrence of a Transfer Event.
7) If Takeda purchases Product from a DSS following a Transfer Event as provided above, [***]. So long as AMAG uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to meet Takeda’s forecasted purchase of Product under the Supply Agreement and uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to work with the DSS to supply Product to Takeda in accordance with the Second Source Plan (including using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to manage demand and supply of the Product, taking into consideration the demand for Product for the Licensed Territory and outside the Licensed Territory), such right to purchase Product from a DSS [***] shall not be applicable if such failure to supply is caused by AMAG’s or its DSS’s (i) failure to comply with applicable Laws relating to the Manufacture of the Product or (ii) gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
8) Following a Transfer Event, Takeda shall resume purchasing all of its requirements for the Product from AMAG (and cease purchasing from a DSS), exercising Commercially Reasonable Efforts, within a reasonable time frame after AMAG’s: (A) reasonably demonstrating that it is able to supply Product in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement and Takeda’s forecast and (B) manufacturing and maintaining a [***] of safety stock of drug substance for the Product exclusive to Takeda (in addition to its safety stock of Product), taking into account any residual Product purchase and other obligations to the DSS.
9) If, after [***], AMAG is unable to meet Takeda’s forecasted demand for the Product, then Takeda shall obtain, at its expense, the Product from the DSS [***]. In such event, AMAG shall no longer be obligated to supply Product directly to Takeda (and Takeda shall no longer be obligated to purchase Product directly from AMAG), and Takeda will have the right to purchase all of its requirements of the Product directly from a DSS as Takeda’s primary source of supply of the Product. AMAG will reasonably cooperate with Takeda in the transition to the DSS. In addition, AMAG shall undertake promptly, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, to identify, qualify and maintain a new Designated Second Source Supplier reasonably acceptable to the Parties for drug substance and Product. The Supply Agreement will include a mechanism for allocating costs for such activities with respect to such new Designated Second Source Supplier between the Parties.

10) Notwithstanding anything in this Schedule 7.2 to the contrary, [***], if the Acquiror is conducting human clinical studies with or commercializing in the Licensed Territory any pharmaceutical product containing or comprising iron as the primary active pharmaceutical ingredient formulated for delivery by parenteral means at the closing of the acquisition of AMAG, then:
(a) the conditions under clauses (B) and (C) in item (6) above shall be modified as follows: (i) [***]
(b) AMAG’s requirement to maintain safety stock of Product inventory shall [***].
Product Warranty
AMAG will provide standard warranties applicable in the pharmaceutical industry, including warranties that all Product Manufactured by or on behalf of AMAG:
i) shall be manufactured and tested in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations or guidelines of any relevant Regulatory Authority, and GMPs applicable to, without limitation, the manufacturing, storage, and shipment of Product,
