exercising the rights granted in Section 2.1(a).

(b) Spectrum retains the right under the Licensed Intellectual Property to develop and commercialize any formulation including Apaziquone that is not a Licensed Product in the Allergan Territory.

(c) If the Parties cannot agree on the royalty rate and scope of the license grant terms of such commercially reasonable royalty-bearing licenses (in Section 2.4 (a) or (b), or in Section 2.5(b)(iii)(A) or Section 13.2(c)(i)) within a reasonable period of time, either Party may initiate, and the Parties shall jointly submit to, binding arbitration in California, and the sole issues to be submitted to arbitration shall be the royalty rate and scope of the license grant. Upon conclusion of such arbitration, the Parties agree to effect the arbitrator’s order which shall be binding.
2.5 Spectrum Additional Limitations.
(a) Spectrum will not conduct clinical trials in the Field of Use with any formulation including Apaziquone in the Allergan Territory, other than for the Licensed Product in the Field of Use under this Agreement.
(b) If Spectrum desires to develop or commercialize any Licensed Product for use outside the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory the following shall apply:
(i) prior to Spectrum initiating any clinical trial using a Licensed Product for use outside the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory (such as ****), Spectrum will notify Allergan in writing (the “Option Notice”) detailing such proposed use and will provide Allergan with any data (including Spectrum’s then current development plan and budget) then possessed by Spectrum on such Licensed Product for such use in such indication (such Licensed Product for such use in such indication is the “Option Product”);
(ii) Allergan may, at its option, choose to co-develop and co-promote such Option Product with Spectrum by delivering to Spectrum written notice within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Option Notice. If Allergan elects to co-develop and/or co-promote such Option Product with Spectrum, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a written agreement (the “Option Product Agreement”) covering the following:
(A) the terms for development and/or commercialization of such Option Product;
(B) a committee structure for the oversight of the development, marketing and commercialization of the Option Product, with similar decision-making rules as those in effect under this Agreement; and
**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
4
(C) cross licenses under the Allergan Solely Developed Know How, Licensed Intellectual Property and Allergan’s rights in the Joint Intellectual Property to develop and commercialize such Option Product under similar terms to those set forth in this Agreement.
(iii) If Allergan chooses not to co-develop and co-promote such Option Product with Spectrum (as indicated by Allergan’s delivery of written notice to Spectrum rejecting such rights, or failure to make an affirmative election within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Option Notice), or the Parties fail to enter into an Option Product Agreement, then Spectrum will have the right to pursue the development and commercialization of such Option Product for the scope described to Allergan in the Option Notice on its own and at its own expense (by itself or with a Third Party, subject to Section 2.5(b)(iv)), and the following will apply:
(A) Allergan agrees to negotiate in good faith for a reasonable period the terms of a commercially reasonable royalty-bearing license under the Allergan Solely Developed Know How and Allergan’s rights under the Joint Intellectual Property for Spectrum to develop and commercialize the Option Product for use outside the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory (any disagreement shall be subject to binding arbitration pursuant to the terms of Section 2.4(c));
(B) Spectrum shall not use any Trademark that is the same as, or similar to (so as to cause confusion in consumers), the Acquired Trademarks or any other Trademark used by Allergan or its Affiliates in Spectrum’s development or commercialization of the Option Product;
(C) Spectrum will package the Option Product in a manner that will not be confused with the Licensed Product in the Field of Use, and will label such Option Product as “not for bladder cancer treatment”; and
(D) Spectrum will not promote, market, sell or distribute such Option Product for use in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, and will use diligent efforts to prevent and curb any use of such Option Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, including meeting the requirements set forth in Sections 2.7(a) and (d).
(iv) If Allergan opts out of developing and/or commercializing an Option Product under subsection (iii) or the Parties fail to enter into an Option Product Agreement, and Spectrum or any of its Affiliates desires to commence development or commercialization of such Option Product with a Third Party (excluding any Affiliate of Spectrum) (“Proposed Transaction”), then the following shall apply:
(A) the terms of the Proposed Transaction under which Spectrum (or its Affiliate) contracts with such Third Party may not be more favorable to such
**** | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
5
Third Party, taken as a whole, than the terms applicable to Allergan last offered to Spectrum by Allergan; and
(B) if Spectrum (or its Affiliate) does not execute a definitive agreement for the Proposed Transaction with a Third Party within nine (9) months following the date that Allergan opts out under subsection (iii) or the Parties’ terminated negotiation of an Option Product Agreement, then Spectrum (or its Affiliate) shall be obligated to comply with this Section 2.5(b) again prior to entering into a Proposed Transaction with a Third Party (i.e., Spectrum (or its Affiliate) shall deliver a new Option Notice under Section 2.5(b)(i) and update its data delivery, and recommence the option process with Allergan).
For clarity, if Allergan opts out of developing and/or commercializing an Option Product under subsection (iii) or fails to make an affirmative election within ninety (90) days after the receipt of an Option Notice, or the Parties fail to enter into an Option Product Agreement, then Spectrum may then commence a clinical trial of the Option Product for use outside the Field of Use. Spectrum acknowledges and agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will use this process to circumvent the intent of this Section 2.5(b).
2.6 Additional Restrictions.
(a) For the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending **** after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, Allergan will not develop or commercialize any formulation including Apaziquone, except as a Licensed Product in the Field of Use, without Spectrum’s written consent. It shall not be a breach of this subsection to the extent that: (A) there is a Change in Control of Allergan and the acquirer of Allergan’s stock or other securities or all or substantially all of the assets or any integral part of any Allergan, at the time of acquisition, is developing or commercializing itself or through its Affiliates any formulation that includes Apaziquone outside the Field of Use; or (B) Allergan directly or indirectly, including through an Affiliate, acquires or purchases the stock or other securities or all or substantially all of the assets or any integral part of any Third Party which at the time of acquisition is developing or commercializing itself or through its Affiliates any formulation that includes Apaziquone outside the Field of Use.
(b) Except for Spectrum’s performance obligations hereunder, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (i) an Allergan Trigger Date (hereinafter defined), or (ii) **** after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, Spectrum and its Affiliates shall not, by license or otherwise, research, develop, make, use, market, sell, distribute or otherwise commercialize any Antineoplastic (hereinafter defined) in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory.

(d) If the foregoing restrictions in subsections (b) and (c) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the restriction shall be automatically converted into a covenant under which the applicable Party shall have the right of first negotiation to license the rights covered by the restrictions in subsection (b) and (c) prior to their use or disposal of such rights by the Party that would otherwise be in breach of subsection (b) or (c), upon commercially reasonable terms.
(e) The following terms have the meanings set forth next to them when used in this Section 2.6:

2.7 Diversion.
(a) Except pursuant to Section 2.5(b), Spectrum shall not sell the Licensed Product, including via the Internet or mail order, to any Third Party, address or Internet Protocol (“IP”) address in the Allergan Territory. If any of Spectrum’s product is diverted for use in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, the following shall apply: (i) if such product were diverted by an identifiable customer, distributor, employee, consultant or agent of Spectrum then, upon the request of Allergan, Spectrum shall not sell such category of product to, or allow the sale of such category of product by, any such customer, distributor, employee, consultant or agent for the remaining Term and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to buy back all such product from such customer, distributor, employee, consultant or agent within ten (10) business days of such request from Allergan; or (ii) Spectrum shall use commercially reasonable efforts to investigate the location of such diverted product and buy it back; but, if and to the extent that, Spectrum elects not to, or is unable to, buy back the applicable diverted product, then Allergan may, in its sole discretion, buy back the applicable diverted product and Spectrum shall reimburse Allergan for all reasonable costs incurred by Allergan in connection with the buy-back of any such diverted product.

8
(c) The Parties acknowledge that, during the term of the Co-Promotion Agreement, the Parties have different financial arrangements in the Co-Promotion Region than in the Royalty Territory. During the term of the Co-Promotion Agreement, Allergan shall use substantially similar efforts to the efforts Allergan uses with other Allergan prescription products to monitor the sales of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Royalty Territory in order to minimize the quantity of Licensed Product in the Field of Use that is sold in the Royalty Territory with a view to diversion for final sale in the Co-Promotion Region. The failure to stop such diversion shall not be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. During the term of the Co-Promotion Agreement, if there is any change in government policies in the Allergan Territory that materially affects the ability to move Licensed Product in the Field of Use from the Royalty Territory into the Co-Promotion Region, the Parties will meet to discuss in good faith the effect of such changes on diversion.
(d) If any formulation containing Apaziquone sold by Spectrum, its Affiliates or sublicensees (the “Spectrum Product”) is used in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, Spectrum shall pay to Allergan royalties on the actual sales of such Spectrum Product resulting in such use at the rate of ****;provided,however, that, if, in any country in the Allergan Territory, the use of such Spectrum Product in the Field of Use accounts for **** or more of the use of any of Allergan’s Licensed Product in the Field of Use in such country, then Spectrum will pay to Allergan royalties on Spectrum’s Royalty-Bearing Net Sales of all such Spectrum Product sold in such country (regardless of the indication in which it is used) at the rate of ****.
2.8 Delivery Obligations of Spectrum. Spectrum shall promptly disclose, in writing, to Allergan all material Licensed Intellectual Property relevant to the license grants set forth herein that is developed, conceived or reduced to practice during the Term of this Agreement by Spectrum and its Affiliates, whether solely or jointly with Allergan, and shall make available to Allergan all Spectrum employees involved in the development of such Licensed Intellectual Property, during normal business hours, as may be reasonably requested by Allergan to assist Allergan in understanding such deliveries.

16
Product. If at any time more than ninety (90) days after the commencement of negotiation of such agreement, either Party believes such negotiations have reached an impasse, such Party may by written notice to the other Party cause a meeting of the Vice President of Global Technical Operations of Allergan and the Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum to seek to resolve such impasse. Such meeting shall be held within twenty (20) days following such written notice. If, following such meeting of senior executives, either Party believes an impasse still exists, then such Party may by written notice cause the Parties to engage in a non-binding mediation of their differences over the proposed agreement. Unless the Parties otherwise agree at the time, such mediation, including the selection of the mediator, shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The fees and costs of the mediator shall be borne equally by the Parties, regardless of the outcome of the mediation. If the Parties cannot agree through mediation to the terms of the supply agreement, then Spectrum will enable Allergan by assigning the Spectrum Manufacturing Agreements to Allergan in addition to transferring to Allergan the validated process for manufacturing and the other items set forth in subsection (f) below.
(f) Right to Terminate. Allergan may terminate Spectrum’s responsibility to have manufactured and supplied Licensed Product to Allergan for sale in the Allergan Territory under this Agreement at any time with prior written notice. Such termination shall be effective thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice, or such later date, at Allergan’s sole discretion, as necessary to complete transition to another manufacturer or to Allergan. Termination of Spectrum’s manufacture and supply obligation shall not relieve the Parties of any amounts owing between them. On termination of Spectrum’s manufacture and supply obligation, Spectrum shall provide to Allergan a copy of all of the then-current Know How Controlled by Spectrum necessary or useful for the manufacture of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use, shall make its manufacturing personnel available for reasonable consultation with Allergan regarding the processes for Licensed Product manufacture, and shall provide all other technical transfers of all parts of the validated process for the Licensed Product in the Field of Use, including Documents and other regulatory items. Subject to the terms of the Spectrum Manufacturing Agreements, Spectrum shall assign to Allergan, and Allergan shall assume responsibility under, all of Spectrum’s supply subcontracts for the Licensed Product applicable to the Field of Use. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith the transition of Spectrum’s sourcing of Licensed Product from such Third Party (for example, bifurcating the supply agreement). After termination of Spectrum’s manufacturing and supply obligations as set forth herein, Allergan shall be responsible for all supply and manufacture of Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, including fulfilling such subcontract agreements from the applicable date of assignment. After Allergan terminates Spectrum’s manufacturing rights and responsibilities under this Section 3.3(f), to the extent that such rights and responsibilities are transferred to Allergan, Spectrum shall have no further performance obligation under this Section 3.3, and Allergan shall thereafter be responsible for compliance with the product quality representations set forth in Section 11.11 for Licensed Product manufactured for sale in the Co-Promotion Region, with any costs of non-compliance with such representations to be borne by Allergan and not included within allowable expenses.

Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any Claim which could give rise to the rights set forth in this Section 12.4. Failure to promptly notify the other Party of any such claim shall not relieve the other Party of any such duty to so indemnify except to the extent that the other Party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.
(a) Allergan shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of any such Third Party Claim, utilizing counsel chosen in Allergan’s sole discretion (with the costs and expenses incurred by Allergan included in the calculation of the Losses subject to the ratio above);provided,however, that Spectrum may participate in any such defense, at its own expense (outside the ratios set forth above), by separate counsel of its choice; provided further, that any such participation shall not limit Allergan’s right to control such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Allergan shall obtain the prior written approval of Spectrum before: (i) ceasing to defend against any such Third Party Claim (if Allergan elects to defend an action and, then, after commencement of the defense decides to no longer defend); and (ii) entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim or demand involving injunctive or similar equitable relief being asserted against Spectrum or its Affiliates or an admission of liability by Spectrum or its Affiliates. Spectrum shall cooperate with Allergan in the provision of any such defense by providing to Allergan all such information, assistance and authority as may reasonably be requested by Allergan.
(b) If Allergan does not initiate the defense of such Third Party Claim within sixty (60) days receiving such Claim, then Spectrum shall have the right to control such defense utilizing counsel chosen in Spectrum’s sole discretion (with the costs and expenses incurred by Spectrum included in the calculation of the Losses subject to the ratio above). In such event,

Allergan may participate in any such defense, at its own expense (outside the ratios set forth above), by separate counsel of its choice; provided further, that any such participation shall not limit Spectrum’s right to control such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Spectrum shall obtain the prior written approval of Allergan before: (i) ceasing to defend against any such Third Party Claim (if Spectrum elects to defend an action and, then, after commencement of the defense decides to no longer defend); and (ii) entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim or demand involving injunctive or similar equitable relief being asserted against Allergan or its Affiliates or an admission of liability by Allergan or its Affiliates. Allergan shall cooperate with Spectrum in the provision of any such defense by providing to Spectrum all such information, assistance and authority as may reasonably be requested by Spectrum.

14.2 Force Majeure Event.
(a) Neither Allergan nor Spectrum shall be considered in default in performance of their obligations hereunder to the extent that performance is delayed, hindered or prevented by a Force Majeure Event, but only to the extent and only for the period that its performance of such obligations is prevented by the Force Majeure Event. “Force Majeure Event” means any event or condition, not existing as of the date of this Agreement, not reasonably foreseeable as of such date and not reasonably within the control of the affected Party, which prevents in whole or in material part the performance by the affected Party of its obligations hereunder or which renders the performance of such obligations so difficult or costly as to make such performance commercially unreasonable, including without limitation riots, civil or military disturbances, war, strikes, lockouts, labor slowdowns or stoppages, prolonged shortage of energy supplies, epidemics, fire, flood, hurricane, typhoon, earthquake, lightning, and explosion. The Party claiming relief under this Section 14.2 shall promptly notify the other Party in writing, but in no event later than ten (10) calendar days of the occurrence, should any such cause arise and shall promptly take steps to remedy any delay or failure in performance upon removal of the circumstances causing such delay or failure.

This Agreement, including the Schedules (including the Co-Promotion Agreement) attached hereto and incorporated as an integral part of this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any way.

No course of dealing between or among any Persons having any interest in this Agreement shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Person under or by reason of this Agreement. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the failure to require at any time performance by the other Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the validity of either Party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by the written agreement of the Parties.
14.5 Partial Invalidity. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision

61
of this Agreement is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisions shall remain, nevertheless, in full force and effect.

Allergan may freely assign its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of Allergan; provided, however, that Allergan guarantees the performance of such Affiliate. Allergan may also freely assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder as part of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Allergan, or sale of the business of Allergan or the business relating to activities under this Agreement, without Spectrum’s consent. All other assignments of this Agreement by Allergan shall be subject to Spectrum’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Exhibit A
Profit Split and PSMM Share Process
Prior to the launch of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region, each Party will share equally in the PSMM incurred by the Parties. During this time, each Party will be responsible for their share of the PSMM and by the third day of each Fiscal Quarter, each Party will deliver to the other Party a report itemizing the total PSMM incurred by such Party in the prior Fiscal Quarter. Each Party shall then deliver a check, within thirty (30) days, to the other Party reimbursing the other Party for 50% of the PSMM incurred by the other Party in the prior Fiscal Quarter.
After the launch of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Co-Promotion Region, Spectrum will deliver to Allergan an invoice by the third day of each Fiscal Quarter itemizing its aggregate PSMM for the Licensed Product for the prior Fiscal Quarter. Allergan shall then deliver a check, within thirty (30) days, to Spectrum reimbursing Spectrum for the PSMM incurred by Spectrum in the prior Fiscal Quarter. Allergan shall aggregate the amounts specified on Spectrum’s invoice with Allergan’s aggregate PSMM for the Licensed Product for the prior Fiscal Quarter, and will deduct the total from the Licensed Product’s Gross Margin from the prior Fiscal Quarter to yield a product profit or loss. Each Party will share equally in this profit or loss, when there is a profit Allergan will pay Spectrum 50% of the profit and when there is a loss Spectrum will reimburse Allergan 50% of the loss (except as set forth in Sections 2.2(g), (h), and (i)). Allergan will complete and distribute the analysis within thirty (30) days after the end of the prior Fiscal Quarter. The Party responsible to make payment based on such analysis will do so within thirty (30) days of issuance of such analysis.

Example of Royalties
If, in Fiscal Year One, Allergan earns **** in Royalty-Bearing Net Sales from Royalty-Bearing Product sales in the Royalty Territory, Spectrum would be due royalties as follows:
(i) **** x **** = ****.
So, the total royalties due Spectrum for Fiscal Year One would be ****.
If, in Fiscal Year Two, Allergan earns **** in Royalty-Bearing Net Sales from Royalty-Bearing Product sales in the Royalty Territory, Spectrum would be due royalties as follows:
(i) on the first **** of the ****, Spectrum would be due **** x **** = ****; and
(ii) on the next **** of the ****, Spectrum would be due **** x **** = ****.
So, the total royalties due Spectrum for Fiscal Year Two would be **** + **** = ****.
If, in Fiscal Year Three, Allergan earns **** in Royalty-Bearing Net Sales from Royalty-Bearing Product sales in the Royalty Territory, Spectrum would be due royalties as follows:
(i) on the first **** of the ****, Spectrum would be due **** x **** = ****;
(ii) on the next **** of the ****, Spectrum would be due **** x **** = ****; and
(iii) on the next **** of the ****, Spectrum would be due **** x **** = ****.
