(d) During the term of this Agreement and after the first sale
of the Product, Versicor shall furnish to Lilly on a quarterly basis a written
report covering each Calendar Quarter (each such Calendar Quarter being
sometimes referred to herein as a "reporting period") showing (1) the Net Sales
of Product in each country by Versicor or its Affiliates or sublicensees, and
(2) the Royalty Payments, which shall have accrued under this Section 3.5 in
respect of such sales and the basis for calculating those royalties. With
respect to sales of the Product invoiced in a currency other than U.S. Dollars,
the Net Sales and amounts due to Lilly hereunder shall be expressed in the U.S.
Dollar equivalent calculated on a monthly basis in the currency of the country
of sale and converted to their dollar equivalent using the official rate of
exchange as determined by the European American Bank (or such other bank as may
be regularly relied upon by Versicor with respect to official exchange rates) in
effect on the last business day of the applicable month of the Calendar Quarter
to which the report relates. Versicor will, at Lilly's reasonable request but
not more frequently than once a year, inform Lilly as to the specific exchange
rate translation methodology used for a particular country or countries. Each
quarterly report shall be due thirty (30) days following the close of each
reporting period. Amounts shown to have accrued by each sales report shall be
due and payable on the date such sales report is due.
(e) Versicor shall keep accurate records in sufficient detail
to enable the Royalty Payments due to be determined and verified by the audit
described in Section 3.6 for at least three years following the period in which
such obligation arose. Additionally, if laws or regulations require the
withholding of taxes, the taxes will be deducted by Versicor from the Royalty
Payments and remitted by Versicor to the proper tax authority. Proof of payment
shall be provided to Lilly within ninety (90) days after payment. Versicor will
cooperate in pursuing the refund of such tax, if such refund is appropriate in
Lilly's determination.
3.6 AUDITS. Versicor and its Affiliates and sublicensees shall keep
full and accurate books and records relating to the performance of its payment
obligations required under this Agreement. During the term plus three (3) years
after termination or expiration of this Agreement, Lilly shall have the right,
during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, no more often
than once every twelve (12) months to have such books and records audited so as
to verify the accuracy of the payments made to Lilly. The scope of such audits
shall be restricted to the review of not more than three (3) prior years. Such
information shall be Versicor Confidential Information and, as such, subject
-22-
to confidentiality pursuant to Section 6.3. The cost of such audit shall be
borne by Lilly; however, in the event such audit reveals that the Royalty
Payments to Lilly deviates by five percent (5%) or more from that revealed by
the audit to be actually owed, the cost of the audit shall be borne by Versicor.
Versicor shall include in all sublicenses granted as permitted under Section 2.6
an audit provision substantially similar to the foregoing requiring the
sublicensee to keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Product
and granting Lilly the right to audit the accuracy of the information reported
by the sublicensee in connection therewith on the same terms as apply to an
audit of Versicor's records hereunder.
3.7 LATE PAYMENTS. Any amounts not paid by Versicor when due under this
Agreement shall be subject to interest from and including the date payment is
due through and including the date upon which Lilly has collected immediately
available funds in an account designated by Lilly at a rate equal five percent

WALL STREET JOURNAL, calculated daily on the basis of a 360-day year, or similar
reputable data source.
3.8 NO EXCUSE. Versicor shall not be excused from or relieved of its
obligations to pay the amounts actually owed as described in this Section 3 by
any claimed or actual event of force majeure, commercial or other
impracticability or impossibility, or frustration of essential purpose, except
to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement.

and not use, transfer or disclose such Confidential Information to a third party
without the prior written approval of the other Party, except as is contemplated
by this Agreement, or as is required to be disclosed to recover Damages for a
breach of this Agreement, or as is required to comply with any order of a court
or any applicable rule, regulation, or law of any jurisdiction. In the event
that a Party is required by judicial or administrative process to disclose
Confidential Information of the other Party (except with respect to disclosures
to tax authorities), it shall promptly notify the other Party and allow the
other Party a reasonable time to oppose such process. For disclosures to tax
authorities, no prior notification to the other Party shall be required. The

both Lilly and Versicor are entitled to disclose Confidential
Information to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes of this
Agreement, to their respective Affiliates and their consultants,

-27-
6.4 PUBLICITY AND DISCLOSURE OF AGREEMENT. Within ten (10) days of the
Effective Date, the Parties shall agree in good faith on a form of press release
which Versicor may release after June 6, 1999. The Parties agree that no future
publicity release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be issued without the advance written consent of the other Party to
the extent such release or announcement includes statements concerning terms of
this Agreement and/or explicitly includes either Parties' trademark(s) or
name(s), except to the extent such release or announcement may be required by

consent of the affected Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed so long as such use of name is limited to objective statements of fact,
rather than for endorsement purposes. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed as granting either Party any rights or license to use any of the other
Party's trademarks or tradenames without separate, express written permission of
the owner of such trademark or tradename.

obtain Regulatory Approval in the Territory for both the Intravenous and Oral
Formulations of the Product. On or before January 1,2000, Versicor shall
prepare and submit to Lilly a detailed plan for development of the Oral
Formulation, setting forth a description of the efforts Versicor intends to
make in connection with its Reasonable Diligence obligations for the Oral
Formulation, which plan shall include at least one animal study ("Oral
Formulation Development Plan"). Versicor shall provide Lilly with a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Oral Formulation

reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or
cause to be done, all things necessary or proper to make effective the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including such actions as may be
reasonably necessary to obtain approvals and consents of governmental Persons
and other Persons (including, without limitation, all applicable drug listing
and notifications to the relevant regulatory authorities identifying Versicor
as a licensee of the Product); PROVIDED that no Party shall be required in
connection with such activities to (1) make any payments (other than as
expressly required pursuant to this Agreement), or (2) assume any other
material obligation not otherwise required to be assumed by this Agreement.
In the event Versicor or its sublicensees fail to undertake Reasonable
Diligence in developing and/or obtaining Regulatory Approval of the
Intravenous Formulation and/or the Oral Formulation of the Product in a
particular country in the Territory, such failure shall be considered a
material default of this Agreement for which Lilly shall be entitled to
terminate this Agreement under Section 9.1 (b) solely with respect to such
particular country and only as to the affected formulation (I.E., IV or oral)
(but may not terminate the entire Agreement under Section 9.1 (d) for any
such default), PROVIDED THAT Versicor (or its sublicensee) does not cure such
failure within sixty (60) days of written notice from Lilly specifying its
belief that such failure has occurred and the reasons therefor. However,
Lilly shall not be entitled to exercise the foregoing termination rights if
Versicor reasonably disputes Lilly's contention that Versicor has failed in
such Reasonable Diligence until after the Parties have first pursued dispute
resolution discussions and procedures as required under Section 10.14 with
respect to such dispute. In the event of an uncured default by Versicor of
its obligations to use Reasonable Diligence for the Oral Formulation prior to
first human dose on an Oral Formulation, Lilly shall be entitled to terminate
Versicor's license under Section 2.1 (a) in the Territory only with respect
to the Oral Formulation, after first
-29-
pursuing dispute resolution discussions and procedures as required under Section
10.14 (if Versicor disputes Lilly's claim that Versicor defaulted on such
obligation), and Versicor shall, and hereby does, grant to Lilly the license
described in Section 2. l(c) with respect to such Oral Formulation.
6.8 COOPERATION. If either Party shall become engaged in or participate
in any investigation, claim, litigation, interference or other proceeding with
any third party, including any proceeding before a relevant regulatory
authority, relating in any way to the Product or any of the Licensed Patents the
other Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with such Party in
connection therewith, including, without limitation, using its reasonable
efforts to make available to the other Party such party's employees who may be
helpful with respect to such investigation, claim, litigation, interference or
other proceeding, provided that, for purposes of this provision, reasonable
efforts to make available any employee shall be deemed to mean providing a Party
with reasonable access to any such employee at no cost for a period of time not
to exceed 24 hours (e.g., three 8-hour business days). Thereafter, any such
employee shall be made available for such time and upon such terms and
conditions (including, but not limited to, compensation) as the Parties may
mutually agree.
6.9 CONFLICTING RIGHTS. Lilly shall not grant any right to any third
party relating to the Licensed Patents or Licensed Technology that would violate
the terms of or conflict with the rights granted to Versicor pursuant to this
Agreement.
6.10 MANUFACTURING. After the Effective Date, Versicor shall be solely
responsible for the manufacture of the Product, including without limitation for
clinical trials and commercialization. In the event Lilly exercises the Lilly
Development Option, Lilly shall assume manufacturing responsibilities for the
Oral Formulation.
6.11 DEEMED BREACH OF COVENANT. Neither Lilly nor Versicor shall be
deemed to be in breach of any covenant contained in this Section 6 if such
Party's deemed breach is the result of any action or inaction on the part of the
other Party.

surrender rights, Versicor shall cooperate fully with Lilly, its
attorneys, and agents in assuming such responsibilities and provide
Lilly with complete copies of any and all documents or other materials

and agents in the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance
related to the Selected Patents and, upon request, to provide Lilly
with complete copies of any and all documents or other materials that

Patents for which it elects to resume responsibility under this
subsection (d), including costs associated with transferring patent
prosecution responsibilities to an attorney or agent of Versicor's
choice, as of the date specified by Versicor in its election notice.
7.3 INFRINGEMENT AND MISAPPROPRIATION.
(a) NOTICE. Each Party shall promptly notify the other in
writing of any alleged infringement or misappropriation by third parties of any
Licensed Patent or Licensed Technology and provide any information available to
that Party relating to such alleged infringement or misappropriation.
(b) ENFORCEMENT OF LICENSED PATENTS. Versicor shall have the
primary right, but not the obligation, to take action in its own name to secure
the cessation of any infringement or misappropriation or to enter suit against
the infringer. Any such action will be at Versicor's expense, employing counsel
of its own choosing. If Versicor elects
-33-
not to exercise its right to prosecute or take other appropriate action in
connection with an infringement or misappropriation of the Licensed Patents or
fails to take any such action within sixty (60) days of first receiving of such
infringement or misappropriation, Lilly may do so at its own expense,
controlling such action. In the event of any infringement or misappropriation
suit against a third party brought by either Party pursuant to this Section, the
Party so proceeding shall pay to the other Party all of its costs and expenses
(but not attorney's fees) in connection with such action and such other Party
shall join in and reasonably cooperate with respect to such action to the extent
necessary to initiate and maintain it (e.g., by providing relevant documents,
witnesses and testimony, etc.).
(c) ALLOCATION OF DAMAGES OR OTHER MONETARY AWARDS. If
Versicor brings action, any Damages or other monetary awards recovered by
Versicor shall be applied proportionately first to defray the unreimbursed costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by either or both
Parties in the action. If any balance remains, Versicor shall second pay to
Lilly an amount equal to the royalty that Lilly would otherwise be entitled to
under this Agreement if such remaining balance was treated as Net Sales. If any
balance remains after payment to Lilly, such balance shall be the property of
Versicor. If Versicor fails to bring action and Lilly brings action, any Damages
or other monetary awards recovered by Lilly shall be applied first to defray the
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in the action
by either or both of the Parties. If any balance remains, Lilly shall second
retain as its own property an amount equal to the royalty that Lilly would
otherwise be entitled to under this Agreement if such remaining balance was
treated as Net Sales. If any balance remains, such balance shall be the property
of Versicor.
(d) SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES. No settlement, consent judgment or
other voluntary final disposition of a suit being prosecuted by a Party under
this Section 7.3 may be entered into without the consent of the other Party if
such settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition would
alter, derogate or diminish such other Party's rights under the Agreement or
otherwise materially adversely affect such other Party, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
SECTION 8
INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 INDEMNIFICATION.
-34-
(a) Lilly shall indemnify, defend and hold Versicor (and its
directors, officers, employees, and Affiliates) harmless from and against any
and all Damages incurred or suffered by Versicor (and its directors,
officers, employees, and Affiliates) (excluding incidental or consequential
Damages suffered or incurred by Versicor directly (as opposed to incidental
or consequential Damages suffered or incurred by third parties who are, in
turn, seeking the same from Versicor, which shall be covered by the indemnity
set forth herein)) as a consequence of third party claims or actions based
upon:
(1) any breach of any representation or warranty made by
Lilly in this Agreement;
(2) any failure to perform duly and punctually any covenant,
agreement or undertaking on the part of Lilly contained in this Agreement;
(3) any Excluded Liabilities.
(b) Versicor shall indemnify, defend and hold Lilly (and its
directors, officers, employees, and Affiliates) harmless from and against any
and all Damages incurred or suffered by Lilly (and its directors, officers,
employees, and Affiliates) (excluding incidental or consequential Damages
suffered or incurred by Lilly directly (as opposed to incidental or
consequential Damages suffered or incurred by third parties who are, in turn,
seeking the same from Lilly, which shall be covered by the indemnity set
forth herein)) as a consequence of third party claims or actions based on:
(1) any breach of any representation or warranty made by
Versicor in this Agreement;
(2) any failure to perform duly and punctually any covenant,
agreement or undertaking on the part of Versicor contained in this Agreement;
(3) and the Versicor Responsibilities, including; any action
or inaction by Versicor (and its agents, directors, officers, employees,
Affiliates and sublicensees) related to the making, using, selling, offering to
sell, or importing of the Product or Transferred Assets after the Effective
Date, except to the extent such action or inaction is caused by the misconduct
or negligence of Lilly.
-35-
8.2 NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND. Promptly after receipt by a Party
hereto of notice of any claim which could give rise to a right to
indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, such Party (the "Indemnified Party")
shall give the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") written notice describing
the claim in reasonable detail. The failure of an Indemnified Party to give
notice in the manner provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
its obligations under this Section, except to the extent that such failure to
give notice materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend
such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option, either
to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such
matter involving the asserted liability of the Party seeking such
indemnification, except as provided below. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly
(and in any event not less than twenty (20) days after receipt of the
Indemnified Party's original notice) notify the Indemnified Party in writing of
its intention to either compromise or defend such matter, and the Indemnified
Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in
the compromise or defense against any such asserted liability. All reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation shall be borne
by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects in writing not to
compromise or defend the asserted liability, fails to notify the Indemnified
Party of its election to compromise or defend as herein provided, fails to admit
its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement with respect to the claim
following a written request of the Indemnified Party (except in the case where
the Indemnifying Party denies, on reasonable grounds, that it has such an
obligation (which dispute shall be resolved under Section 10.14)), or, if in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, the claim could result
in the Indemnified Party becoming subject to injunctive relief or relief other
than the payment of money Damages that could materially adversely affect the
ongoing business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right, at its option, to pay, compromise or defend such asserted
liability by its own counsel and its reasonable costs and expenses shall be
included as part of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party
hereunder; provided, however, in the event the Indemnifying Party intends to
compromise or settle a claim under this Section 8.2, the Indemnifying Party
shall provide at least ten (10) business days prior written notice to the
Indemnified Party describing the proposed compromise or settlement in order that
the Indemnified Party may comment and/or object. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party may settle or
compromise any claim under this Section 8.2 over the written objection of the
other Party if such settlement or compromise could reasonably result in a
material adverse effect on the other Party or otherwise alter, diminish or
derogate the other Party's
-36-
rights under this Agreement. In any event, the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party may participate, at their own expense, in the defense of such
asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party defends any claim, the Indemnified
Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other
documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.2, (1) the Party
conducting the defense of a claim shall (A) keep the other Party informed on a
reasonable and timely basis as to the status of the defense of such claim (but
only to the extent such other Party is not participating jointly in the defense
of such claim), and (B) conduct the defense of such claim in a prudent manner,
and (2) the Indemnifying Party shall not cease to defend any claim (except
pursuant to a permitted settlement or compromise thereof) without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld).
8.3 INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENT OBLIGATION. No Indemnifying Party will have
any obligations under Sections 8.1(a) or 8.1(b) until the cumulative aggregate
amount of Damages incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party (or which likely
would be incurred or suffered if the relevant claim were successful) which the
Indemnifying Party is otherwise subject to under this Agreement exceeds
$100,000, at which time the entire cumulative aggregate amount of such Damages
shall be covered. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall not limit or
otherwise affect the obligations of any Indemnifying Party under any other
Section of this Agreement.
8.4 INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS. The amount of any Damages for
which indemnification is provided under this Section 8 shall be reduced to take
account of any net tax benefit and shall be increased to take account of any net
tax detriment arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages or from
the receipt of any such indemnification payment and shall be reduced by the
insurance proceeds received and any other amount recovered, if any, by the
Indemnified Party with respect to any Damages; provided, however, that an
Indemnified Party shall not be subject to an obligation to pursue an insurance
claim relating to any Damages for which indemnification is sought hereunder. If
any Indemnified Party shall have received any payment pursuant to this Section 8
with respect to any Damages and shall subsequently have received insurance
proceeds or other amounts with respect to such Damages, then such Indemnified
Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the difference (if
any) between (1) the sum of the amount of those insurance proceeds or other
amounts received and the amount of the payment by such Indemnifying Party
pursuant to this Section 8 with respect
-37-
to such Damages and (2) the amount necessary to fully and completely indemnify
and hold harmless such Indemnified Party from and against such Damages;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in no event will such Indemnified Party have any obligation
pursuant to this sentence to pay to such Indemnifying Party an amount greater
than the amount of the payment by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this
Section 8 with respect to such Damages.
8.5 INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENT. Upon the final determination of liability
and the amount of the indemnification payment under this Section 8, the
appropriate Party shall pay to the other in immediately available funds, within
thirty (30) business days after such determination, the amount of any claim for
indemnification made hereunder.
8.6 SURVIVAL. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement with respect to actions of the Parties during the
term of this Agreement. Each Indemnified Party's rights under this Section 8
shall not be deemed to have been waived or otherwise affected by such
Indemnified Party's waiver of the breach of any representation, warranty,
agreement or covenant contained in or made pursuant this Agreement, unless such
waiver expressly and in writing also waives any or all of the Indemnified
Party's right under this Section 8.
SECTION 9
TERMINATION
9.1 TERMINATION. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this
Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(a) VERSICOR VOLUNTARY TERMINATION. Versicor may terminate
this Agreement at any time by giving ninety (90) days written notice of its
intention to terminate.
(b) LILLY TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Lilly may terminate this
Agreement solely with respect to a particular country and as to the applicable
formulation (I.E., IV or oral) for Versicor's uncured breach of its obligations
of Reasonable Diligence in such country with respect to such formulation of the
Product as provided in Section 6.7.
-38-
(c) TERMINATION FOR BANKRUPTCY. If either Versicor or
Lilly (1) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (2) files
an insolvency petition in bankruptcy; (3) 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; (4) 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 (5) becomes a Party to any proceeding or action of the type
described above in (3) or (4) and such proceeding or action remains
undismissed or unstayed for a period of more than sixty (60) days, then the
other Party may by written notice terminate this Agreement in its entirety
with immediate effect.
(d) TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT.
(1) Versicor and Lilly each shall have the right (except as
otherwise provided in Section 6.7) to terminate this Agreement with respect
to the Product for default upon the other Party's uncured failure to comply
in any material respect with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. At
least sixty (60) days prior to any such termination for default, the Party
seeking to so terminate shall give the other written notice of its intention
to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section
9.1(d), which notice shall set forth the default(s) which form the basis for
such termination. If the defaulting Party fails to correct such default(s)
within sixty (60) days after receipt of notification, or if the same cannot
reasonably be corrected or remedied within sixty (60) days, then if the
defaulting Party has not commenced curing said default(s) within said sixty
(60) days and is not diligently pursuing completion of same, then such Party
immediately may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Product.
(2) This Section 9.1 (d) shall not be an exclusive remedy
and shall not be in lieu of any other remedies available to a Party hereto for
any default hereunder on the part of the other Party.
(e) RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION.
(1) LILLY RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION. In the event of
termination of the entire Agreement by Lilly under Sections 9.1(b) or 9.1(d)
or termination by
-39-
Versicor under Section 9.1(a), payment by Versicor to Lilly of all amounts
actually earned and accrued by Lilly but remaining unpaid as of the effective
date of such termination shall be immediately accelerated and all such amounts
shall be immediately due and payable by Versicor to Lilly on the date of
termination. Additionally, the license granted by Lilly to Versicor shall
immediately terminate and the ownership of the Product Data Package shall
immediately revert back to Lilly with no further notice required on Lilly's
behalf. Consequently, notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement
to the contrary, (A) Lilly shall have the right, directly or indirectly, to
make, use, sell, offer to sell and import the Product in the Territory and (B)
Versicor shall have no further rights in the Product whatsoever.
(2) VERSICOR RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION UPON DEFAULT BY LILLY.
In the event of termination of this Agreement by Versicor under Section 9.1(d),
Versicor shall (A) have no further obligation to make any payments under
Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of the Agreement as of the effective date of the
termination, and (B) retain all of the rights under the licenses granted by
Lilly to Versicor hereunder with respect to the Product.
(3) ASSISTANCE FOLLOWING TERMINATION. In the event of
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b), 9.1(c) or 9.1(d)
and if Lilly so requests, Versicor shall provide reasonable assistance to
Lilly for a period of ninety (90) days following the date of notice of
termination. Additionally, Versicor shall (and shall cause any subcontractors
under contract with Versicor) grant to Lilly an exclusive license (but solely
in the country or countries where such termination occurred) to all Versicor
Improvements related to Product, including but not limited to, all applicable
regulatory files and filings related to the Product and any patents or patent
applications encompassing Versicor Improvements, solely to develop, make,
have made, use, sell, offer to sell and import the Product in such countries.
(f) CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS. Except as otherwise provided
above, termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not relieve the
Parties of any obligation accruing prior thereto and shall be without
prejudice to the rights and remedies of either Party with respect to any
antecedent breach of the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement, whether by
lapse of time or otherwise, shall serve to terminate the obligations of the
Parties hereto under Sections 2.1(b), 3.4, 3.5 (only in the event Versicor
terminates under Section 9.1(d)), 3.6, 3.7, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 7.1 (only in the
event Versicor terminates under Section
-40-
9.1(d), 7.2 (only in the event Versicor terminates under Section 9.1(d)), all
of Section 8, subsections 9.1, 9.2, all of Section 10 and such other Sections
as by their nature should survive, and such obligations shall survive any
such termination.
9.2 BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL. Upon termination of this Agreement, whether by
Lilly or Versicor, Versicor shall cease all use of any Biological Materials and
shall, upon request, return or destroy (at Lilly's option) all Biological
Materials under its control or in its possession within sixty (60) days and
provide a written warranty by an Officer of Versicor that the Biological
Materials have been returned or destroyed.
