SUPPLY OF LICENSED PRODUCTS; FORECASTS AND PURCHASE ORDERS

2.1 Licensed Products to be Supplied. Medicis shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, purchase from Q-Med or any manufacturer designated by Q-Med as permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and Q-Med shall sell, and shall cause to have sold, to Medicis and its Affiliates, except as otherwise provided herein, all of Medicis' and its Affiliates' requirements for the Licensed Products during the Term as provided herein for marketing, use, import, offer for sale, commercializing or otherwise disposing of and sale for Commercial Distribution and Investigational Distribution in the Territory in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreements. Medicis shall, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to, solely and exclusively purchase the Licensed Products from Q-Med or any manufacturer designated by Q-Med, and neither Medicis nor any of its Affiliates shall have the right to purchase any Licensed Product or any generic version thereof from, directly or indirectly, any other Person.

2.2 Forecasts. (a) With respect to all Licensed Products to be supplied for Commercial Distribution and Investigational Distribution in the Territory, including any

9

portion thereof, Medicis shall provide Q-Med with a forecast of Medicis' and its Affiliate's estimated monthly requirements of the applicable Licensed Products (with Licensed Products required for Commercial Distribution and Licensed Products required for Investigational Distribution being reported as separate line items) for the twelve (12) month period commencing on the date hereof in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule C, which forecast shall be delivered by Medicis to Q-Med within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date hereof. Medicis shall update such forecast on a monthly basis until such time as Medicis is providing forecasts and placing Firm Orders pursuant to Section
2.2(b). Such updates shall be delivered to Q-Med on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the commencement of the subsequent month. In addition, until such time as Medicis is providing forecasts and placing Firm Orders pursuant to Section 2.2(b), Medicis may provide Q-Med with three (3) separate initial Firm Orders for Licensed Products (one for Investigational Distribution in the Territory, one for Commercial Distribution in Canada and one for Commercial Distribution in the United States) at any time; provided that (i) Q-Med shall not be obligated to supply Licensed Products in accordance with each such initial Firm Order prior to the later of ten (10) weeks after (A) the date on which Medicis provides Q-Med with such initial Firm Order or (B) the date that Medicis provides the approved Labeling with respect to such initial Firm Order, provided, that Q-Med shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply such Licensed Products in less than ten (10) weeks; (ii) Q-Med shall not be obligated to supply Licensed Products in accordance with each such initial Firm Order unless Medicis has made all applicable One Time Payments and Milestone Payments then due under the terms of the License Agreement, including Section 8.5 thereof; (iii) if Medicis, by placing an initial Firm Order prior to receipt of the applicable Regulatory Approval for such Licensed Products, requests that Q-Med commence the Manufacture of any Licensed Products prior to the receipt of the applicable Regulatory Approval for such Licensed Products, Medicis shall bear any risks, including without limitation additional direct (which shall be deemed to include labor) costs and expenses, of any changes required, including, without limitation, any changes in Labeling, to comply with such Regulatory Approvals subsequently received and in such event, Q-Med shall then commence such Manufacture as so requested; (iv) with respect to SubQ, Q-Med shall not be obligated to supply, in excess of * * * pursuant to each such initial Firm Order; and (v) with respect to all other Licensed Products, Q-Med shall advise Medicis of the maximum number of syringes that it may be obligated to deliver pursuant to the applicable initial Firm Order within five (5) Business Days of the date of such Initial Firm Order.

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.2(a), on or before the fifth
(5th) Business Day prior to the first day of each calendar month, Medicis shall give to Q-Med a forecast of Medicis' and its Affiliates' estimated monthly requirements of the Licensed Products for the twelve (12) month period commencing with the next succeeding calendar month (for example, a forecast delivered on May 25 shall estimate the monthly requirements of Licensed Products for the twelve (12) month period commencing July 1). The twelve (12) month forecast delivered to Q-Med pursuant to the preceding sentence shall represent Medicis' reasonable estimates of the quantity of the Licensed Products that Medicis and its Affiliates will require during such twelve (12) month period to which such forecast applies, and the forecast of its monthly requirements of the Licensed Products during the first three (3) months of such twelve (12) month period shall be reflected in a Firm Order accompanying such forecast.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Firm Order for any Licensed Product placed for a one (1) month period in accordance with Section 2.2(b) shall be between 80% and

10

120% of the most recent forecast estimated quantity for such Licensed Product for such one (1) month period provided by Medicis to Q-Med in accordance with this Section 2.2 prior to the Firm Order being placed by Medicis. In the event that Medicis shall submit a Firm Order that is below 80% of the applicable forecast estimated quantity, Q-Med shall deliver to Medicis and Medicis shall be required to purchase an amount equal to 80% of such applicable forecast estimated quantity. To the extent that the Firm Order is for more than 120% of the most recent forecast estimated quantity for a Licensed Product, Q-Med shall not be obligated with respect to the excess over 120% to supply a greater quantity than it is able to supply using its commercially reasonable efforts.

(d) In addition to the foregoing forecast requirements, commencing on the date hereof, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the first day of each calendar quarter, Medicis shall give to Q-Med a forecast of Medicis' and its Affiliate's estimated quarterly requirements of the Licensed Products for an additional thirty-six (36) month period beyond the twelve (12) month periods in Section 2.2(a) and (b). The thirty-six (36) month forecast delivered to Q-Med pursuant to this clause (d) shall represent Medicis' reasonable estimates of the quantity of the Licensed Products that Medicis and its Affiliates will require during such period to which such forecast applies, provided that such forecast shall be for planning purposes of Q-Med only and shall not constitute a Firm Order.

(e) All forecasts to be provided or delivered by Medicis to Q-Med pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be in writing, which may be electronic.

2.3 Capacity. (a) Q-Med shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain capacity or inventory sufficient to meet Medicis' requirements as indicated in the combined forty-eight (48) month forecast provided to Q-Med in accordance with Section 2.2(b) and (d). If at any time Q-Med reasonably believes that Q-Med may not have sufficient capacity or inventory to fulfill the requirements so forecasted by Medicis (a "CAPACITY SHORTAGE"), whether due to insufficient manufacturing capacity or otherwise, then Q-Med shall request written confirmation from Medicis' Chief Executive Officer of Medicis' forecasted requirements for such forty-eight (48) month period that give rise to such possible Capacity Shortage (the "CERTIFIED MEDICIS REQUIREMENTS").

(b) (i) If Q-Med reasonably determines after further consideration in light of such Certified Medicis Requirements that there will be a Capacity Shortage within the first twenty-four (24) month period covered by such Certified Medicis Requirements, Q-Med shall provide Medicis with notice thereof within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Certified Medicis Requirements. If Q-Med has a plan of action with respect to such Capacity Shortage when it delivers such notice, Q-Med shall provide Medicis with a written outline of such plan and its reasonably supported conclusions relating thereto. Q-Med may take prompt action with respect to such plan or, if Q-Med desires, Q-Med may promptly convene a meeting between Medicis and Q-Med to discuss such plan. If Q-Med has not developed a plan of action at the time of its notice to Medicis of the Capacity Shortage, Q-Med shall promptly convene a meeting between Medicis and Q-Med to develop in mutual consultation a course of action with respect to such Capacity Shortage, such course of action to be reasonable. As soon as practicable after such meeting, Q-Med shall take commercially reasonable steps to carry out such mutually

11

determined plan of action. Q-Med shall be entitled to call a meeting at any time to discuss the amendment or revision of such mutually agreed plan of action. If Q-Med has not taken reasonably sufficient steps towards implementing the plan within one (1) month of the meeting, then Q-Med shall promptly furnish to an alternate manufacturer identified by Medicis with capacity sufficient to fulfill that portion of the Certified Medicis Requirements that Q-Med is unable to fulfill or, if the Certified Medicis Requirements are no longer applicable, the then current forecast provided under Section 2.2(b), all information and assistance necessary to qualify and operate such alternate manufacturer so proposed by Medicis, the selection of which shall be subject to Q-Med's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly upon notice by Q-Med that such Capacity Shortage has been remedied such that Q-Med has capacity sufficient to meet that portion of the Certified Medicis Requirements that Q-Med was unable to fulfill or if the Certified Medicis Requirements are no longer applicable, the then current forecast provided under Section 2.2(b), Medicis shall resume, as promptly as is commercially reasonable, the use of Q-Med as the exclusive supplier of Medicis and its Affiliates.

(ii) If Q-Med determines after further consideration in light of such Certified Medicis Requirements that there will be a Capacity Shortage between the twenty-fifth (25th) and thirty-sixth (36th) months of the period covered by such Certified Medicis Requirements, Q-Med shall provide Medicis with notice thereof within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of the Certified Medicis Requirements and shall further consider such Capacity Shortage and shall develop a plan of action with respect thereto. If, within three (3) months after delivery of such Certified Medicis Requirements, Q-Med believes that there is no Capacity Shortage, Q-Med shall so inform Medicis in writing. If, within three (3) months after delivery of such Certified Medicis Requirements, Q-Med believes that there is a Capacity Shortage and Q-Med has developed a plan of action with respect thereto, Q-Med shall inform Medicis in writing of such plan of action. If, within three (3) months after delivery of such Certified Medicis Requirements, Q-Med has not developed a plan of action and/or taken action with respect to such Capacity Shortage, Q-Med shall convene a meeting between representatives of Q-Med and Medicis to consider the Capacity Shortage and to develop in mutual consultation an appropriate plan of action with respect thereto, such course of action to be reasonable. As soon as practicable after Q-Med and Medicis have developed a plan of action with respect to the Capacity Shortage, Q-Med shall take commercially reasonable steps to carry out such mutually determined plan of action. Q-Med shall be entitled to call a meeting at any time to discuss the amendment or revision of such mutually agreed plan of action. If Q-Med has not taken reasonably sufficient steps in accordance with such mutually determined plan of action, Medicis shall deliver a written notice thereof. Within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such notice, Q-Med shall provide reasonably sufficient evidence demonstrating its reasonable compliance with such plan. If Q-Med does not provide reasonably sufficient evidence within such period, then Q-Med shall promptly furnish to an alternate manufacturer identified by Medicis with capacity sufficient to fulfill that portion of the Certified Medicis Requirements that Q-Med is unable to fulfill or, if the Certified Medicis Requirements are no longer applicable, the then current forecast provided under Section 2.2(b), all information and assistance necessary to qualify and operate such alternate manufacturer so proposed by Medicis, the selection of which shall

12

be subject to Q-Med's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly upon notice by Q-Med that such Capacity Shortage has been remedied such that Q-Med has capacity sufficient to meet that portion of the Certified Medicis Requirements that Q-Med was unable to fulfill or, if the Certified Medicis Requirements are no longer applicable, the then current forecast provided under Section 2.2(b), Medicis shall resume, as promptly as is commercially reasonable, the use of Q-Med as the exclusive supplier of Medicis and its Affiliates.

(iii) If Q-Med determines after further consideration in light of such Certified Medicis Requirements that there will be a Capacity Shortage after the thirty-seventh (37th) month of the period covered by such Certified Medicis Requirements, Q-Med shall provide Medicis with notice thereof within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of the Certified Medicis Requirements and shall further consider such Capacity Shortage and shall develop a plan of action with respect thereto. If, within six (6) months after delivery of such Certified Medicis Requirements, Q-Med believes that there is no Capacity Shortage, Q-Med shall so inform Medicis in writing. If, within six (6) months after delivery of such Certified Medicis Requirements, Q-Med believes that there is a Capacity Shortage and Q-Med has developed a plan of action with respect thereto during such period, Q-Med shall inform Medicis in writing of such plan of action. If, within six (6) months after delivery of such Certified Medicis Requirements, Q-Med has not developed a plan of action and/or taken action with respect to such Capacity Shortage, Q-Med shall convene a meeting between representatives of Q-Med and Medicis to consider the Capacity Shortage and to develop in mutual consultation an appropriate plan of action with respect thereto, such course of action to be reasonable. As soon as practicable after Q-Med and Medicis have developed a plan of action with respect to the Capacity Shortage, Q-Med shall take commercially reasonable steps to carry out such mutually determined plan of action. Q-Med shall be entitled to call a meeting at any time to discuss the amendment or revision of such mutually agreed plan of action. If Q-Med has not taken reasonably sufficient steps in accordance with such mutually determined plan of action, Medicis shall deliver a written notice thereof. Within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such notice, Q-Med shall provide reasonably sufficient evidence demonstrating its reasonable compliance with such plan. If Q-Med does not provide reasonably sufficient evidence within such period, then Q-Med shall promptly furnish to an alternate manufacturer identified by Medicis with capacity sufficient to fulfill that portion of the Certified Medicis Requirements that Q-Med is unable to fulfill or, if the Certified Medicis Requirements are no longer applicable, the then current forecast provided under Section 2.2(b), all information and assistance necessary to qualify and operate such alternate manufacturer so proposed by Medicis, the selection of which shall be subject to Q-Med's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly upon notice by Q-Med that such Capacity Shortage has been remedied such that Q-Med has capacity sufficient to meet that portion of the Certified Medicis Requirements that Q-Med was unable to fulfill or, if the Certified Medicis Requirements are no longer applicable, the then current forecast provided under Section 2.2(b), Medicis shall resume, as promptly as is commercially reasonable, the use of Q-Med as the exclusive supplier of Medicis and its Affiliates.

(c) In addition to the requirements set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above, in the event of a Capacity Shortage, Q-Med shall allocate to Medicis capacity for each stock keeping unit ("SKU") of each Licensed Product based on the forty-eight (48) month forecast referenced in the first sentence of clause
(a) above based on a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Certified Medicis Requirements for such SKU of Licensed Product for the period in question and the denominator of which shall be the total forecasted requirements for Q-Med's manufacturing facilities for all SKUs of such Licensed Product for the period in question.

(d) If Medicis receives a shipment of Licensed Products that contains less than 90% of the monthly requirement of Licensed Product to be delivered pursuant to the applicable Firm Order and Q-Med does not deliver such missing Licensed Product within one (1) month of Q-Med's receipt of a written notice from Medicis of such shortage, then Medicis shall be entitled to deliver written notice to Q-Med of a Capacity Shortage. Upon deliver of such notice of a Capacity Shortage, Section 2.3(b)(i) shall govern.

2.4 Acceptance of Firm Order. Q-Med shall accept all Firm Orders submitted in accordance with and on the terms set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Medicis shall be entitled to reject all or any portion of a shipment of Licensed Products within ten (10) Business Days of Medicis' receipt in the Territory of such shipment of Licensed Products based solely on obvious physical, packaging or Labeling damage or defect that is evident upon visual inspection of the packaged Licensed Products as shipped by Q-Med (unless such obvious physical, packaging or Labeling damage or defect was attributable to an act or omission of Medicis or any of its Affiliates or the carrier once the shipment was received by such carrier). Without in any way limiting Q-Med's replacement obligation as set forth in clause (d) below, if no notice is provided by Medicis within such time period, then Medicis shall be deemed to have accepted the entire shipment.

The Indemnifying Party under this Article IX shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, any Action for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article IX with respect to a Third Party claim (a "THIRD PARTY INDEMNIFIABLE CLAIM"), and if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Party or Parties seeking indemnification hereunder for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Party or Parties in connection with the defense thereof; provided that, if the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by outside counsel that there is a potential conflict between the interests of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party and such separate counsel shall be selected by the Indemnified Party in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Party in its sole discretion in connection with a Third Party Indemnifiable Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense or is not entitled to assume the defense shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Article IX. The Indemnifying Party may compromise or settle such Action; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party advance notice of any proposed compromise or settlement; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle any Third Party Indemnifiable Claim without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless all relief provided is paid or satisfied in full by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnified Party may compromise or settle any Third Party Indemnifiable Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control or conduct the defense or prosecution of a Third Party Indemnifiable Claim, the Indemnifying Party nevertheless shall have the right to participate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Indemnifiable Claim and, at its own expense, to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose. The Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and their respective counsel in the defense, settlement, negotiation or prosecution of a Third Party Indemnifiable Claim.

9.5 Indemnification Calculations. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be computed net of any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Losses. If an Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds in connection with Losses for which it has received indemnification, such Party shall refund to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such insurance proceeds when received, up to the amount of indemnification received. An Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue insurance claims with respect to any Losses.

9.6 Exclusive Remedies. Except as otherwise set forth herein and for any available equitable remedies, the remedies set forth in this Article IX will be the exclusive remedies available to the Parties hereto with respect to any Losses or any other damages, costs or expenses of any kind or nature or any other claim or remedy directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of or relating to any of this Agreement (including alleged breaches of representation,

29

warranty, covenant or any other term or provision or for any alleged misrepresentation), and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that nothing herein shall limit in any way any Party's remedies in respect of fraud by the other Party in connection herewith or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree that any and all Actions resulting from, arising out of or based upon the provisions of this Agreement may be asserted or brought solely under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

9.7 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of termination or expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 and the covenants to be performed hereunder shall survive until the date that is six (6) months after the end of the applicable period for performance thereof.

ARTICLE X

CERTAIN COVENANTS

10.1 Manufacturing Option.

(a) Q-Med hereby grants to Medicis an option (the "OPTION") to obtain a license commencing on the date that is * * * from the expiration date of the Term without giving effect to any extensions thereof, to make and have made, develop and improve by itself or on its behalf in the Territory, the Licensed Products. Such license (the "MANUFACTURING LICENSE") shall be granted by Q-Med within * * * of the date of Q-Med's receipt from Medicis of an exercise notice (the "EXERCISE NOTICE"), and shall include the terms set forth on Schedule D hereto and any other terms and conditions negotiated in good faith and agreed to by the Parties during such * * * period. The Parties hereby agree that this Section 10.1 imposes an enforceable obligation to grant the Manufacturing License based on the terms set forth in Schedule D and to negotiate in good faith such additional terms as may be agreed to by the Parties. Medicis shall deliver the Exercise Notice no less than * * * prior to the date on which Medicis intends to commence to make or to have made, develop and improve the Licensed Products pursuant to the Option; provided that Medicis shall not deliver the Exercise Notice earlier than the later to occur of * * *. Medicis may deliver the Exercise Notice at any time from and after the date referred to in the immediately preceding sentence and before the expiration of the Term without giving effect to any extensions thereof. Medicis and Q-Med will fully cooperate in obtaining all required Regulatory Approvals in connection with Medicis' lawful manufacture of the Licensed Products for Commercial Distribution and Investigational Distribution; provided that Medicis will pay the cost and expenses of obtaining such approvals.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Medicis shall have * * * the Exercise Notice and Q-Med shall grant the Manufacturing License on the terms set forth in Schedule D within ninety (90) days of receipt of such notice in the event of (i) a final arbitral award pursuant to Section 12.6 determining that Q-Med has intentionally and willfully breached a material obligation related to the Manufacture or supply of Licensed Products under this Agreement; provided that Medicis shall bear the burden of proof with respect to the determination that any such breach was intentional, willful and material or (ii) upon Q-Med entering into a liquidation

30

process due to bankruptcy. In the event that Medicis has the right to immediately deliver the Exercise Notice in accordance with clause (i) of this
Section 10.1(b), Medicis shall also concurrently have the right to deliver a notice to Q-Med and/or its Affiliates which shall immediately terminate any and all licenses granted by Medicis to Q-Med and/or its Affiliates pursuant to the terms hereof or of the License Agreement.

10.2 Back-up Facility. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Q-Med's efforts to date to construct a back-up facility to Manufacture Licensed Products (the "NEW FACILITY") and to obtain the necessary Regulatory Approvals from the FDA and the TPD for such New Facility are satisfactory for purposes of this Agreement as of the date hereof. * * *

10.3 Third Party Contractors. Q-Med shall have the right in connection with its obligations hereunder to contract with its Affiliates and/or one or more Third Parties for the Manufacture and supply of the Licensed Products in finished form to Medicis; provided, however, that: (i) Q-Med shall cause such contractor to comply fully with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Manufacture and supply of such Licensed Products; (ii) Q-Med shall remain fully responsible for the Manufacture and supply of such Licensed Products to Medicis; and (iii) the use of such contractor shall not increase the cost of the Licensed Products to Medicis in excess of a cost increase otherwise permitted by this Agreement. Q-Med shall bear the costs and expense of any required Regulatory Approvals due to the contracting with any Affiliate and/or Third Party for the Manufacture and supply of the Licensed Products. Prior to supplying Medicis with Licensed Products Manufactured by a non-Affiliate Third Party, Q-Med must submit the contractor's name to Medicis for reasonable approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Medicis reasonably objects to Q-Med's use of any non-Affiliate Third Party for the Manufacture and supply of Licensed Products, Medicis shall have no obligation to accept any Licensed Products Manufactured by such non-Affiliated Third Party. The foregoing shall not affect, apply to, prevent or otherwise limit Q-Med's right to select and employ Third Party suppliers and subcontractors to provide ingredients, components, parts, and processing activities to aid Q-Med's manufacturing process.

11.3 Manufacturing Data and other Information. In addition to any of the foregoing confidentiality obligations, Medicis agrees that it shall keep confidential and shall not use or disclose, and shall cause its officers, employees, directors and counsel to keep confidential and to not use or disclose, any information or data (and all tangible and intangible embodiments thereof) of a confidential and proprietary nature relating to the Manufacture of the Licensed Products, or any other information or data related to the manufacture of any other products by Q-Med and/or its Affiliates of a confidential and proprietary nature, including any such information to which Medicis has access by virtue of the Regulatory Approvals for the Licensed Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Medicis shall have the right to use, and, to the extent required to have Licensed Products made in accordance with the Manufacturing License, disclose (provided that the Person to whom such disclosure is made is informed of the confidential and proprietary nature of such information and agrees in writing to be bound by the conditions set forth in this Section 11.3; provided, further, that Medicis agrees in writing to be responsible for any breach of these provisions by such Person) such information or data related to the Manufacture of Licensed Products that it may have access to by virtue of the Regulatory Approvals related to the Licensed Products (i) in the event that Q-Med has failed to comply with its obligation to provide an alternate manufacturer with the information required pursuant to Section 9.1(b) within the time period set forth in Section 9.1(b) or (ii) Medicis has exercised the Option in accordance with Section 10.1(b) herein.

33

shall be entitled to use such information to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements.

35

instruments reasonably satisfactory to Medicis confirming that the Third Party shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement to the same extent applicable to Q-Med or its Permitted Transferee as if such Third Party was originally a Party hereto and that such Third Party has, or as of the date of the proposed Transfer will have, the know-how and patents necessary to fulfill its obligations under and in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) in the event of a Change in Control (other than a Volitional Change in Control) such Transfer shall give rise to a right of termination pursuant to Section 8.3(c) herein unless such Transfer was effected in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties agree that Medicis may only withhold its consent in the event that Medicis reasonably determines (such determination to be made without unreasonable delay, and such consent, or the withholding thereof, to be promptly communicated once determined) that (i) the proposed Third Party transferee does not have the financial condition to perform Q-Med's obligations under this Agreement, (ii) if Q-Med is not to be the surviving entity upon the consummation of such proposed Transfer, upon the consummation of such proposed Transfer the successor entity will not have a manufacturing capacity at least comparable to Q-Med's and its Affiliates' manufacturing capacity immediately prior to such proposed Transfer, (iii) such Transfer has not received all required Regulatory Approvals, or, if Q-Med and/or one of its Affiliates is not to be the surviving entity upon the consummation of such proposed Transfer, upon the consummation of such proposed Transfer, the proposed Third Party transferee will not have all Regulatory Approvals required for its performance of this Agreement or (iv) such proposed Third Party transferee has been or is currently debarred under the authority of the FDCA or under Canada's FDA and/or regulations thereunder.

2.5 Website Content and URLs.

(a) Cross License. To the extent a Party or an Affiliate of a Party has the right to grant licenses to the content for its website that describes a Licensed Product ("WEBSITE CONTENT"), such Party grants the other Party, effective as of the Closing Date, a fully paid-up, non-exclusive, nonsublicensable (except as permitted in Section 12.1) and nonassignable (except as permitted in Section 12.1) license to use such Website Content in connection with the marketing, offering for sale, and distribution of the Licensed Products, which license shall include the right to copy, prepare derivative works and publicly display such Website Content.

ARTICLE III
OBLIGATIONS

3.1 Diligence Efforts.

(a) Diligence Obligations of the Parties. Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Regulatory Approvals for the Licensed Products in the Territory, to bring Licensed Products to market, and to maximize sales of Licensed Products in the Territory. At a minimum, it is Licensee's obligation under this Section 3.1(a) to adopt and implement efforts to bring Licensed Products to market and to maximize sales for each Licensed Product hereunder that are reasonably equivalent to the sales and other efforts and sales strategies adopted and implemented by Licensee's Affiliate pursuant to the Previous License Agreement with regard to the launch and ongoing sales efforts for Restylane;(TM) provided, however, that Licensee may adjust its efforts under this Agreement to account for the differences in the products and the market opportunities therefor. In the event the product currently marketed in Europe under the trademark Restylane SubQ does not meet the requirements of * * *, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop at least one Licensed Product having * * *.

(b) Diligence Default. In the event that Licensor believes that Licensee has committed a material breach of its obligations under Section 3.1(a) for a particular Licensed Product and Licensor provides Licensee with written notice of such alleged material breach, and Licensee thereafter fails to effect a cure of such alleged material breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of the written notice from Licensor, Licensor may invoke the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article XI. If, in a final arbitral decision, the arbitral tribunal determines that Licensee has committed a material breach of its obligations in Section 3.1(a) with respect to a particular Licensed Product (a "DILIGENCE DEFAULT"), Licensor shall have the exclusive remedies specified in Sections 3.1(c) and 3.1(d).

(c) Termination of Exclusive Rights. In the event a Diligence Default has occurred, Licensor may (i) terminate the exclusive rights granted in Section 2.1 hereof for that particular Licensed Product by sending written notice of such termination to Licensee, and (ii) obtain a duplicate PMA Approval with respect to such Licensed Product in accordance with Section 3.1(d) only for purposes of obtaining and maintaining approval to market and distribute such Licensed Product in the Territory. If Licensor terminates the exclusive rights granted in
Section 2.1 hereof for a particular Licensed Product, such license with respect to such Licensed Product shall continue in effect but shall become nonexclusive with regard to such Licensed Product only.

14

(d) Duplicate PMA Approvals.

(i) For purposes of this Section 3.1(d), "Licensor" shall refer to "Licensor or its licensee." The procedure for obtaining duplicate PMA Approvals in the event of a Diligence Default shall be as follows:

(A) Pursuant to the FDA's existing procedure, Licensor shall prepare and file a complete original PMA Application based upon a right of reference to the information in Licensee's Regulatory Approvals for the nonexclusive Licensed Product. Licensee shall cooperate fully to ensure that such PMA Application is complete, accurate and acceptable for filing under 21 C.F.R. ss. 814.12. Licensee shall promptly provide all necessary letters of authorization granting rights of reference, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Third Parties to provide letters of authorization granting necessary rights of reference (e.g., to their Master Files) and otherwise shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable Licensor to fully comply with and pursue the FDA requirements for obtaining duplicates of the original PMA Approvals in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Licensee shall promptly cooperate with Licensor's efforts and the FDA procedures as reasonably requested by Licensor and as necessary to obtain such duplicate PMA Approvals.

(B) The FDA generally refers to the foregoing procedure as licensing of a PMA Approval, with the owner of the original Regulatory Approval as the licensor and the owner of the newly issued PMA Approval as the licensee. These terms are not used in this Section 3.1(d) in order to avoid confusion with this Agreement and terms related hereto.

(ii) Upon the completion of the procedures referenced in Section 3.1(d)(i), above: (A) Licensor shall have irrevocable ownership of its duplicate Regulatory Approvals for the sole purpose of marketing and distributing the nonexclusive Licensed Product and (B) Licensor's distribution (or distribution by its other licensees and/or agents) of such nonexclusive Licensed Products in the United States shall be conducted under the Regulatory Approvals that Licensor owns.

(iii) As applicable, both Parties shall provide all necessary letters of authorization granting rights of reference, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Third Parties to provide letters of authorization granting necessary rights of reference (e.g., to their Master Files) and otherwise shall cooperate fully in complying with the FDA requirements for obtaining duplicate PMA Approvals in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Exclusive Remedies. The remedies specified in Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c) and 3.1(d), shall be the exclusive remedy in the event of a Diligence Default notwithstanding any other rights, powers, remedies and privileges that may be available to Licensor under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article X hereof), the Transaction Agreements or Laws of any Governmental Authority. If, following a Diligence Default, the exclusive license rights granted in Section 2.1 hereof for a particular Licensed Product become nonexclusive in accordance with

15

Section 3.1(c), Licensee shall have no further obligations under Section 3.1(a) for that Licensed Product.

3.2 Markings and Trade Dress.

(a) Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to substantially comply with all patent marking and placement of corporate identifiers and identifiers of NASHA technology on the packaging and package inserts of the Licensed Products as required by applicable Law in the U.S. and Canada. Licensee shall use and display on all packaging and package inserts of the Licensed Products Licensor corporate identifiers and identifiers of NASHA technology that are reasonably requested by Licensor and are of a size, format and location appropriate for said packaging as reasonably determined by Licensee, provided that such identifiers shall be displayed in a reasonably prominent manner. Licensee shall not use or display Licensor's corporate identifiers or identifiers of NASHA technology other than on promotional literature, packaging and package inserts, without Licensor's express written consent, and in any event shall not use or display Licensor's corporate identifiers or identifiers of NASHA technology in a manner inconsistent with Licensor's use and display thereof. It shall not be considered a breach by Licensee of this Section 3.2 if, through inadvertence or Third Party error, such identifiers are not, or are incorrectly, displayed on a small number of promotional literature, packages or package inserts of the Licensed Products.

(b) Licensee shall have the right to adopt, own for registration and use for Licensed Products, in each case solely in the Territory, (i) trademarks owned or controlled by Licensor and used to brand the Licensed Products outside the Territory or trademarks substantially similar thereto (the "LICENSOR MARKS) and/or the trade dress owned or controlled by Licensor and used in connection with the Licensed Products outside the Territory, or trade dress substantially similar thereto (the "LICENSOR TRADE DRESS"); or (ii) trademarks distinctive to Licensee, provided such trademarks are not confusingly similar to the Licensor Marks existing and publicly known (the "LICENSEE MARKS) and/or trade dress distinctive to Licensee, provided such trade dress is not confusingly similar to the Licensor Trade Dress existing and publicly known (the "LICENSEE TRADE DRESS") and provided further that Licensee (x) shall bear its own expenses with regard to adoption or modification of Licensee Marks and Licensee Trade Dress, and (y) shall not adopt a Licensee Trade Dress which is incompatible with or unduly burdensome on Licensor's packaging or other equipment. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee may adopt any combination of the foregoing (e.g., the Licensee Marks with the Licensor Trade Dress or the Licensor Marks with the Licensee Trade Dress).

(c) In the event that Licensee adopts the Licensor Marks to brand and market the Licensed Products in the Territory, the Parties agree that Licensor shall, and shall cause its Third Party licensees to, refrain from adopting new trademarks, or changing or modifying the existing trademarks, for any product of Licensor that is distributed inside the Territory (either inside or outside the Field) in a way as to make it confusingly similar to the marks adopted by Licensee, provided that Licensor shall be free to change, modify or adapt its trademarks used in connection with its products outside the Territory, even if such changes, modifications or adaptations result in trademarks that are confusingly similar to the trademarks used by Licensee in connection with Licensed Products within the Territory.

16

(d) In the event that Licensee elects to adopt the Licensor Trade Dress for use in connection with the Licensed Products in the Territory, the Parties agree that each Party shall be free to change, modify or adapt its trade dress used in connection with its products, even if such changes, modifications or adaptations result in trade dress that is confusingly similar to the trade dress used by the other Party in connection with its products; provided however Licensor shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Third Party licensees to, refrain from modifying the Licensor Trade Dress in a way identical to Licensee's modifications of Licensor Trade Dress adopted by the Licensee.

(e) In the event that Licensee adopts the Licensee Marks or Licensee Trade Dress to brand and market the Licensed Products in the Territory, the Parties agree that Licensor shall, and shall cause its Third Party licensees to, refrain from adopting new trademarks or trade dress or changing or modifying the existing trademarks or trade dress, for any product of Licensor that is distributed either in or outside the Territory in a way as to make it identical or confusingly similar to the Licensee Marks or Licensee Trade Dress.

3.3 Protection of Intellectual Property. Licensee shall take such action as Licensor reasonably requests in writing, at Licensor's expense except as otherwise determined by the Steering Committee in accordance with the Supply Agreement, to assist Licensor in obtaining, registering and perfecting the Licensed Rights and disclosing pertinent information and executing documents in connection therewith.

3.4 Compliance With Relevant Law. Licensor and Licensee shall each comply in all material respects with all applicable Laws that pertain to the activities for which Licensor and Licensee are each responsible under this Agreement.

3.5 Prosecution and Maintenance of Licensed Patents. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor shall use reasonable best efforts to prosecute and maintain all Licensed Patents in the Territory in Licensor's name in accordance with the applicable terms set forth herein. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.2 herein with respect to Actions for the infringement, misappropriation or impairment of or damage to the Licensed Rights, Licensor shall be responsible for all actions and costs associated with maintaining the enforceability and validity of the Licensed Patents, and paying maintenance fees and/or annuities, and all other costs required to maintain the Licensed Patents. Licensor shall use reasonable best efforts to prosecute each of the Licensed Patents either to issuance or until administrative appeals to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences or its Canadian equivalent are exhausted. Except as provided in Section 3.7 herein with regard to patent applications requested by Licensee, the preparation and filing of any new patent applications shall be entirely and solely at Licensor's discretion.

3.6 Correspondence Relating to Patent Prosecution. Licensor shall deliver to Licensee, or counsel designated by Licensee, copies of all non-privileged correspondence to and from the USPTO and CIPO relating to the Licensed Patents in the Territory, as well as all non-privileged correspondence with the World Intellectual Property Organization relating to any International Application designating the United States or Canada, and all non-privileged correspondence with any national or regional patent office containing any information that may reasonably be material to the validity, scope or enforceability of the Licensed Patents, relating to

17

applications corresponding to or claiming priority with or from the Licensed Patents. Such correspondence shall be delivered promptly after the origination or receipt of such correspondence. With respect to the Licensed Patents, Licensee or counsel designated by Licensee shall have the right to submit comments on such correspondence to Licensor within fifteen (15) Business Days after Licensor sends such correspondence to Licensee or counsel designated by Licensee. If Licensee or counsel designated by Licensee timely submits comments to Licensor, and subject always to the best judgment of Licensor and its counsel, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate all reasonable comments in its further correspondence with the USPTO or CIPO, provided incorporation of the comments would not unreasonably delay, burden or increase the expense of the prosecution of pending patent applications.

3.7 Divisional, Continuation and New Patent Applications. From time to time Licensee may desire that Licensor file a divisional, continuation or new application for patent in the Territory embodying an invention conceived by Licensee and in whole or in part based on, utilizing or otherwise incorporating the Licensed Rights. In such circumstances, Licensee shall submit to the Steering Committee, in accordance with the Supply Agreement, a request for patent filing detailing the invention, the effect of the invention on the commercialization of the Licensed Products in the Territory (if any) and any information known to Licensee regarding the novelty, non-obviousness and general patentability of the invention (a "PATENT REQUEST"). Licensee and Licensor shall cause their respective designees on the Steering Committee, in accordance with the Supply Agreement, to decide whether or not to approve the Patent Request, taking into consideration both any effect on the commercialization of the Licensed Products in the Territory and the patentability of the invention proposed for patenting. If the Steering Committee in accordance with the Supply Agreement approves a Patent Request, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file a patent application based on the invention detailed therein and to diligently prosecute such application to issuance, provided that Licensee shall pay all reasonable costs related to any patent application filed pursuant to a Patent Request and any patent that issues therefrom to the extent the application and patent relate exclusively to the Territory. To the extent the application and any patent that issues therefrom are relevant to the worldwide market, Licensee and Licensor shall cause their respective designees on the Steering Committee to determine the appropriate allocation of cost as between Licensee and Licensor. Notwithstanding Licensee's payment of prosecution and maintenance fees, any patent application embodying an invention in whole or in part based on, utilizing or otherwise incorporating the Licensed Rights, filed pursuant to a Patent Request, or otherwise, and any patent that issues therefrom shall be owned in its entirety by Licensor unless the Parties' designees on the Steering Committee mutually agree that such application or patent shall be jointly owned for the purpose of avoiding prior art status, such as under 35 U.S.C. ss. 102(e). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties intend that Licensee has the right, on its own and at its sole expense, to prosecute patents based on its own inventions to the extent, and only to the extent, such inventions are not in whole or in part based on, do not utilize, and do not otherwise incorporate the Licensed Rights.

3.8 March In Rights. If and only if Licensor is unwilling or unable due to Licensor's bankruptcy, insolvency, appointment of receiver or similar proceeding to maintain the Licensed Patents to the extent relevant to the Licensed Products in the Territory, Licensee shall have the

18

right to prosecute and maintain such Licensed Patents in the Territory, provided that in all events, ownership of all rights in and to such Licensed Patents shall remain with Licensor.

3.9 Provision of Licensor Information and Access to Licensor Employees.

(a) Licensor shall, promptly after the Closing Date and at Licensee's sole expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Licensee documentation of (1) the Licensed Know-How and Licensed Regulatory Data to the extent such documentation (i) exists and (ii) is not subject to confidentiality restrictions preventing its disclosure to Licensee and (2) any material published by Licensor related to the Licensed Products, including but not limited to marketing and sales materials, to the extent such documentation (i) exists and (ii) is reasonably requested by Licensee for its use in the marketing, use, distribution, importation, offering for sale, sale, commercialization or other disposition of the Licensed Products in the Territory. Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement such documentation when new documentation reflecting the Licensed Know-How or Licensed Regulatory Data becomes available to Licensor. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor shall have no obligation to author, create or produce initial or supplemental documentation to the extent such documentation does not otherwise exist, but Licensor agrees to share with Licensee such documentation related to the marketing, use, distribution, importation, offering for sale, sale, commercialization or other disposition of the Licensed Products in the Territory as now exists or is hereafter created, other than documentation that Licensor is under an obligation to unrelated Third Parties not to disclose, such as patient data. All such documentation shall be provided by Licensor to the Licensee in the form of one copy only in the English language or in another language if no English copy exists.

(b) From time to time Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Licensee reasonable access, at Licensee's sole expense, to relevant employees designated by Licensor as having knowledge of Licensed Know-How or Licensed Regulatory Data that are not reduced to writing and is reasonably requested by Licensee for its use in the marketing, use, distribution, importation, offering for sale, sale, commercialization or other disposition of the Licensed Products in the Territory, to allow Licensee to meet and interview such employees to enable Licensee to better practice the Licenses granted under
Section 2.1, provided that, if not otherwise agreed between the Parties, (i) the total of such meetings shall be limited to no more than five (5) days per annum or, in any year in which Licensee shall Launch a Licensed Product, no more than ten (10) days per annum, of which no more than two (2) days at a time shall be consecutive; (ii) such meetings shall occur upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior notice to Licensor; (iii) such meeting shall only be conducted during normal business hours; and (iv) such meetings shall not unreasonably disrupt or interfere with Licensor's normal operations. For the avoidance of doubt, meeting of the Steering Committee shall not be counted in the calculations set forth in this Section 3.9(b).

3.10 Policing of Products.

(a) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to police the Licensed Products and their channels of trade to ensure that (i) Licensor and its Affiliates, licensees or designees do not sell, offer for sale, import, market, distribute or have distributed, or otherwise dispose of Licensed Products within the Territory; and (ii) Licensee and its Affiliates, licensees

19

or designees do not sell, offer for sale, import, market, distribute or have distributed, or otherwise dispose of Licensed Products outside the Territory.

(b) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to police their products to ensure that (i) products sold by Licensor and its Affiliates, licensees or designees, other than Licensed Products sold by Licensee and its Affiliates, licensees or designees, are not used in the Field in the Territory; and (ii) Licensed Products sold by Licensee and its Affiliates, licensees or designees are not used outside the Field in the Territory (in either case an "OUT-OF-FIELD USE"). In the event that either Party (the "COMPLAINING PARTY") believes that products sold by the other Party (the "RESPONSIBLE PARTY") or its Affiliates, licensees or designees in the Territory have been or are being used for an Out-of-Field Use, the Complaining Party shall present the Responsible Party with the full, complete and most probative evidence of such Out-of-Field Use available to the Complaining Party. If, after review of the proof presented by the Complaining Party, the Responsible Party agrees that products sold by itself or its Affiliates, licensees or designees in the Territory have been or are being used for an Out-of-Field Use, such Responsible Party shall compensate the Complaining Party for the lost profits suffered by the Complaining Party due to the Out-of-Field Use of products sold directly by such Responsible Party or its Affiliates, licensees or designees in the Territory. If, after review of the proof presented by the Complaining Party, the Responsible Party refuses to compensate the Complaining Party for its lost profits in accordance with this
Section 3.10(b), the Parties shall submit their claims to arbitration in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of Article XI herein.

3.11 Tax Certificate. Licensor shall provide Licensee with a properly executed and valid Form W-8BEN and shall continue to update such Form W-8BEN throughout the Term of this Agreement in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulation 1.1441-1(e)(4)(ii).

3.12 Other Agreements. Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, Licensor shall deliver to Licensee a draft trademark license agreement pursuant to which Licensee will receive a fully paid license to use the "NASHA" mark. Following the Closing Date and prior to the date that the first Milestone Payment is due in accordance with Article VIII hereof, the Parties shall execute and deliver all documents, instruments and certificates required in connection with establishing the Account contemplated by Section 8.2(a).

3.13 Non-Compete Undertaking of Licensee.

(a) During the Non-Compete Period (as defined below), Licensee agrees that it will not sell, or enter into definitive agreements to sell, a Competing Product. As used in this Section 3.13, the term "COMPETING PRODUCT" shall mean a product for * * *.

(b) As used in this Section 3.13, the term "NON-COMPETE PERIOD" shall mean * * *.

ARTICLE IV
INFRINGEMENT OF LICENSED RIGHTS

20

4.1 Obligations. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any actual or potential infringement, misappropriation or impairment of or damage to the Licensed Rights, or threatened Action against a Party that the Party's acts under or related to the Licensed Rights infringe, misappropriate, impair or otherwise damage the intellectual property rights of a Third Party, of which the Party is or becomes aware.

4.2 Actions. Licensor shall have the exclusive right to bring an Action for the infringement or misappropriation or impairment of or damage to the Licensed Rights and shall use all reasonable, diligent efforts to pursue parties who have infringed, misappropriated, impaired or otherwise damaged the Licensed Rights known to Licensor or identified in writing to Licensor by Licensee. Licensor shall bear all expenses, have complete control over, and recover all proceeds, settlements and damages with respect to any such Action, provided that, if such infringement, misappropriation, impairment or damage is due in whole or in part to the actions or inactions of Licensee, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for such expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses, in proportion to the degree to which Licensee's actions or inactions contributed to such infringement, misappropriation, impairment or damage. Licensee agrees to cooperate fully with Licensor at Licensor's expense in any such Action, and to be joined as a party in such Action where required by Law. If Licensor fails to provide Licensee with evidence reasonably sufficient to Licensee that Licensor has undertaken demonstrable and reasonable efforts to abate and investigate an infringement, misappropriation, impairment or damage reported by Licensee in writing to Licensor within sixty (60) days after it receives a written request from Licensee to do so, or if Licensor fails to bring an Action in the Field in the Territory to abate an infringement, misappropriation, impairment or damage within ninety (90) days after it receives a written request from Licensee to do so, or if Licensor discontinues the prosecution of any such Action after filing, Licensee may, in its discretion, undertake such Action as it deems necessary to enforce the Licensed Rights. In such case, Licensee shall bear all expenses and recover all proceeds, settlements and damages with respect to any such Action, and Licensor shall assist Licensee, upon Licensee's request, at Licensee's sole expense in taking any action to enforce the Licensed Rights and shall consent to be joined as a party in such Action where required by Law. In any Licensee-brought Action, Licensee shall promptly send to Licensor a true copy of any and all notices or communications between Licensee and the Third Party infringer as well as a true copy of any and all pleadings, motions or other filings in or related to the Action. To the extent that there are communications not in writing, Licensee shall periodically, but at least monthly, provide to Licensor a report of all material communications bearing upon the current status of the dispute as between Licensee and the Third Party infringer, and any steps bearing upon resolution of that dispute. In no event shall either Party settle any Action referred to in this Section 4.2 with any Third Party, which settlement would materially affect any of the rights of the other Party (as determined by that Party in its reasonable discretion) under this Agreement, without the prior approval of the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

22

Licensed Rights or Licensed Regulatory Data in any respect are an infringement, misappropriation or impairment or have otherwise caused damage to any Third Party or any Third Party's intellectual property rights, or that challenge Licensor's ownership of, or the enforceability or validity of the Licensed Rights or Licensed Regulatory Data. To the best of Licensor's or its Affiliates' knowledge after due inquiry, the Licensed Rights and Licensed Regulatory Data do not and will not infringe, constitute a misappropriation or impairment of or otherwise cause damage to or interfere with any patent, copyright, trademark, design right or other intellectual property rights of any other Person in the Territory. Licensor has complied and will, during the Term, comply in all material respects with all provisions of the patent acts, regulations, and statutes regarding the procurement and maintenance of, all Licensed Rights and Licensed Regulatory Data in the Territory. Licensor is in compliance and will, during the Term, remain in compliance with that certain settlement agreement dated September 28, 1999, between Licensor and Biomatrix, Inc. in settlement of Civil Case #99-CV-2021 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (Newark), Biomatrix, Inc. v. Bengt Agerup, et al., Filed May 3, 1999. Licensor has not specifically admitted that any claim of an unexpired patent or pending patent application included within the Licensed Patents is invalid or unenforceable through reissue, disclaimer (other than that in U.S. Patent No. 5,827,937 and Canadian Patent Application No. 2,226,488, wherein a disclaimer has been filed with respect to claim 4) or otherwise. Licensor has adopted and will use measures reasonable under the circumstances to enforce non-disclosure and confidentiality policies and has obtained agreements from employees, consultants and others relating to such matters that are reasonable under the circumstances to protect its rights in and to the Licensed Rights and Licensed Regulatory Data.

(g) Third Party Rights. Neither Licensor nor its Affiliates have granted to any Third Party or Affiliate any rights or licenses or have otherwise taken any action that conflicts with or materially adversely affects the rights and Licenses granted to Licensee under this Agreement and will not grant any such rights or licenses to any Third Party during the Term.

(h) Schedules. All schedules in this Agreement are complete and correct. Schedule A contains a complete and correct list of all U.S. and Canadian patents and patent applications owned by Licensor or any of its Affiliates that cover the marketing, manufacture, use, distribution, importation, offering for sale, sale, commercialization or other disposition of the Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory.

(i) Government Authority. Neither Licensor nor any of its Affiliates is aware of any Action or pending or threatened Action by any Governmental Authority, including, but not limited to, the TPD (as defined in the Supply Agreement) or FDA, that would prohibit or disapprove of the sale of the Licensed Products in the Territory. Licensor is not aware that any Governmental Authority, including, but not limited to, the TPD and FDA, would have a basis for prohibiting or not approving the sale of the Licensed Products in the Territory.

(j) Trademarks. Neither Licensor nor any of its Affiliates has, directly or indirectly, registered, or filed applications for the registration of, the mark "SUBQ" or any mark containing the term "SUBQ" with any Governmental Authority in the Territory.

8.4 Audit Rights.

28

(a) Upon the written request of Licensor and not more than once in each Contract Year, Licensee shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm or, as applicable, regulatory consulting firm of nationally recognized standing, selected by Licensor and reasonably acceptable to Licensee, at Licensor's expense, to have access during normal business hours to such of the books and records and regulatory files of Licensee as may be reasonably necessary to (i) verify the accuracy of the Net Revenues achieved in any Contract Year ending not more than thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of such request, and (ii) verify receipt of the notice from the FDA specified in
Section 8.1(a)(iii) hereof and for no other purpose. The accounting firm or regulatory consulting firm, as applicable shall disclose to Licensor only (x) whether the Net Revenues achieved are equal to the Net Revenues reported by Licensee to Licensor and the specific details concerning discrepancies, if any, and (y) whether Licensee has received the notice specified in Section 8.1(a)(iii) hereof. No other information shall be shared.

(b) If such accounting firm concludes that the Net Revenues reported by Licensee to Licensor during the audited period was incorrect or such regulatory consulting firm concludes that the notice from the FDA specified in Section 8.1(a)(iii) hereof was actually received by Licensee, Licensee shall pay such additional Milestone Payments as applicable to the audited Net Revenues (or, in the case of receipt of the notice from the FDA specified in Section 8.1(a)(iii), the applicable One Time Payment) within thirty (30) days of the date Licensor delivers to Licensee such accounting firm's or, as applicable, such regulatory consulting firm's written report so concluding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon such accounting firm's conclusion that the Net Revenues reported by Licensee to Licensor during the audited period was incorrect or such regulatory consulting firm's conclusion that the notice from the FDA specified in Section 8.1(a)(iii) hereof was actually received by Licensee, Licensor may immediately commence Dispute Resolution under Section 8.5 herein.

(c) Licensor shall treat all financial or regulatory information subject to review under this Section 8.4 as Licensee Confidential Information, and shall cause its accounting firm to retain all such financial information in confidence.

8.5 Dispute Resolution.

(a) In the event of a dispute between the Parties as to whether any One Time Payment or Milestone Payment (a "DISPUTED LICENSE PAYMENT") is then due and owing from either Licensee or Licensor (with respect to a Return Payment), as the case may be, the Party claiming the Disputed License Payment is then due (the "CLAIMING PARTY") shall, send a notice with respect thereto to the other Party (the "OTHER PARTY").

(b) If the Parties have not resolved the matters in dispute within five
(5) Business Days of the Other Party's receipt of such notice, then on such fifth (5th) Business Day the matter or matters in dispute shall be submitted to an independent certified public accounting firm of

29

recognized international standing mutually agreeable to the Parties (or, if the Parties cannot agree, then one selected mutually by the Parties' auditors) (the "ACCOUNTING FIRM"). The Parties will cooperate with each other and each other's authorized representatives and with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement and each of the Parties may make a written submission. Each Party may provide the Accounting Firm all relevant books and records, any work papers, supporting documentation and any other documentation used in determining whether a Disputed License Payment is due. The Accounting Firm shall make a final and binding determination as to the matter or matters in dispute within 30 days of its appointment and shall send written notice thereof to the Parties within such 30-day period (subject to the right of either Party to appeal the Accounting Firm's determination pursuant to the arbitration procedures set forth in Article XI hereof).

(c) In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that the Disputed License Payment is then due to the Claiming Party, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of written notice of such determination from the Accounting Firm (the "PAYMENT DATE"), the Other Party shall pay to the Claiming Party the Disputed License Payment (together with any interest accrued thereon at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank as its prime rate in effect on the date such payment is due at its principal office in New York City plus one percent (1%) from the date such Disputed License Payment should have been paid pursuant to Sections 8.1 or 8.2 up to the date such Disputed License Payment is actually paid, but excluding the date such payment is made) and the Other Party shall promptly pay the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm. Notwithstanding any other remedy available to Licensor under this Section, in the event that the Accounting Firm determines that a Disputed License Payment is due to Licensor and Licensee does not pay such Disputed License Payment to Licensor within three
(3) Business Days of receipt of written notice from the Accounting Firm of such determination, Licensor, in its sole discretion may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.2(a) herein without the need to give the notice required by Section 6.2(a) or provide the opportunity to cure required by
Section 6.2(a). In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that the Disputed License Payment is not then due and owing to the Claiming Party, the Other Party shall be entitled to keep such Disputed License Payment and the Claiming Party shall promptly pay the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Licensor

(a) Licensor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents and representatives (the "LICENSEE INDEMNIFIED PERSONS") from and against any Losses that they may incur resulting from any Action to the extent arising out of or due to (i) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement under this Agreement by Licensor or any of its Affiliates to the extent such Affiliate is bound under this Agreement (provided, that for purposes of this Section 10.1(a)(i), Section 5.1(d)(ii) shall be read without regard to qualification with respect to knowledge); or (ii) the infringement, misappropriation or impairment of or damage to any Third Party's intellectual property rights arising out of the Licensee's exercise of the Licensed Rights, use of the Licensed Regulatory Data or the Licensee's marketing, use, distribution, importation, offer for sale, sale, commercialization, or disposition of Licensed Products, or the Licensee's use of the Confidential Licensor Information.

(b) Licensor shall not have any liability under Section 10.1(a) unless the aggregate of all Losses relating thereto for which Licensor would, but for
Section 10.1(b), be liable exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to U.S.$159,000, and then only to the extent of any such excess, after which the entire amount of such Losses which is payable pursuant to the provisions of
Section 10.1 shall be paid by Licensor subject to the Cap (as such term is defined below); provided that Licensor shall not have any liability under
Section 10.1(a) for any individual item where the Loss relating to such item is less than U.S.$10,000; provided, further, however, that Licensor's aggregate liability under Section 10.1(a) shall in no event exceed the greater of (i) U.S.$ 100 million, or (ii) as of the date which is the third anniversary of the date of receipt of Regulatory Approval in the United States for the first Licensed Product (the "THIRD ANNIVERSARY"), the amount actually paid out to Licensor under Article VIII of this Agreement, plus the amounts described in the next sentence (the "CAP"). In the event that amounts which were deposited as of the Third Anniversary into the Account in accordance with Article VIII are actually paid out to Licensor under Article VIII of this Agreement from the Account after the Third Anniversary (a "SUBSEQUENT ACCOUNT DISTRIBUTION"), the Cap shall include the amount of such Subsequent Account Distribution, if applicable under the terms of the definition of Cap. If

33

prior to any such Subsequent Account Distribution, if applicable, Licensee suffered Losses for indemnifiable claims which in the aggregate exceeded the Cap as calculated on the Third Anniversary, Licensor shall pay to Licensee from such Subsequent Account Distribution, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt thereof, an amount equal to such excess.

For purposes of illustration only, if (A) Licensee's Losses in respect of an indemnifiable claim prior to the Third Anniversary are * * * and (B) as of the Third Anniversary, (1) Licensee has paid to Licensor under this Agreement *
* * and (2) an additional * * * is held in the Account, then Licensor would bear
* * * of such Losses and Licensee would bear * * * of such Losses. If, subsequent to the Third Anniversary, the * * * previously deposited into the Account is actually paid out by Licensee to Licensor under Article VIII of this Agreement, then (I) the Cap would include the * * * and would be * * *, (II) Licensor would be entitled to keep * * * of such amount and would be required to pay to Licensee with respect to Licensee's prior indemnifiable claim * * * thereby meeting the Cap.

(c) All amounts paid by Licensor to Licensee Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Agreement shall be aggregated for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the Cap. The limitations of Section 10.1(b) shall not apply to any claim for indemnification made under Section 3.10(b) herein. Licensor and its Affiliates shall have no liability under Section 10.1(a) to the extent a Licensee Indemnified Person has been paid pursuant to the Supply Agreement for an indemnifiable claim involving the identical substantive issue.

10.2 Licensee

(a) Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensor, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents and representative (the "LICENSOR INDEMNIFIED PERSONS") from and against any Losses that they may incur resulting from any Action to the extent arising out of or due to (i) any breach, from and after the Closing, of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement under this Agreement by the Licensee or any of its Affiliates to the extent such Affiliate is bound under this Agreement or (ii) any FDA or TPD action related to Licensee's Website Content arising out of an act or omission by the Licensee.

(b) Licensee shall not have any liability under Section 10.2(a) unless the aggregate of all Losses relating thereto for which Licensee would, but for this
Section 10.2(b), be liable exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to U.S.$159,000, and then only to the extent of any such excess; provided that Licensee shall not have any liability under Section 10.2(a) for any individual item where the Loss relating to such item is less than U.S.$10,000; provided, further, however, that the Licensee's aggregate liability under Section 10.2(a) shall in no event exceed the Cap. All amounts paid by Licensee to Licensor Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 10.2 of this Agreement shall be aggregated for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the Cap. The limitations of this Section 10.2(b) shall not apply to any claim for indemnification made under Section 3.10(b) herein. Licensee and its Affiliates shall have no liability under Section 10.2(a) to the extent a Licensor Indemnified Person has been paid pursuant to the Supply Agreement for an indemnifiable claim involving the identical substantive issue.

10.3 Notice of Claims. If there occurs an event which any of the Persons to be indemnified under this Article X asserts is indemnifiable pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.2 (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), the Party or Parties seeking indemnification shall so notify the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") promptly in writing describing such Loss, the amount or estimated amount thereof, if known or reasonably capable of estimation, and the method of computation of such Loss, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. If any Action is instituted by or against a Third Party with respect to which the Indemnified Party intends to claim any liability as a Loss under this Article X, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Action and tender to the Indemnifying Party the defense of such Action. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice and to tender the defense of the Action in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article X, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

10.4 Control of Claims.

The Indemnifying Party under this Article X shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, any Action for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article X with respect to a Third Party claim (a "THIRD PARTY INDEMNIFIABLE CLAIM"), and if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Party or Parties seeking indemnification hereunder for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Party or Parties in connection with the defense thereof; provided that if the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by outside counsel that there is a potential conflict between the interests of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party and such separate counsel shall be selected by the Indemnified Party in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Party in its sole discretion in connection with a Third Party Indemnifiable Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense or is not entitled to assume the defense shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Article X. The Indemnifying Party may compromise or settle such Action, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party advance notice of any proposed compromise or settlement, provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle any Third Party Indemnifiable Claim without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless all relief provided is paid or satisfied in full by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnified Party may compromise or settle any Third Party Indemnifiable Claim without the prior written approval of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control or conduct the defense or prosecution of a Third Party Indemnifiable Claim, the Indemnifying Party nevertheless shall have the right to participate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Indemnifiable Claim and, at its own expense, to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose. The Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and their respective counsel in the defense, negotiation, settlement or prosecution of any Third Party Indemnifiable Claim.

35

10.5 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the termination or expiration of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 6.1 and the covenants to be performed following the date hereof shall survive until the date that is six (6) months after the end of the applicable period for performance thereof.

10.6 Indemnification Calculations. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be computed net of any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Losses. If an Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds in connection with Losses for which it has received indemnification, such Party shall refund to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such insurance proceeds when received, up to the amount of indemnification received. An Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue insurance claims with respect to any Losses.

10.7 Exclusive Remedies

Except as otherwise set forth herein and for any available equitable remedies, the remedies set forth in this Article X will be the exclusive remedies available to the Parties hereto with respect to any Losses or any other damages, costs or expenses of any kind or nature or any other claim or remedy directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of or relating to any of this Agreement (including alleged breaches of representation, warranty, covenant or any other term or provision or for any alleged misrepresentation), the Licensed Rights, Licensed Regulatory Data, Licensee Licensed Rights and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that nothing herein shall limit in any way either Party's remedies in respect of fraud by the other Party in connection herewith or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree that any and all Actions resulting from, arising out of or based upon the provisions of this Agreement may be asserted or brought solely under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1 Purpose. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article XI if and when a dispute arises under this Agreement.

11.2 Arbitration. The Parties agree that any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or invalidity hereof, shall be resolved as follows. In the event of a dispute between the Parties, either Party may initiate the dispute resolution procedures of this
Section 11.2 by providing written notice (the "NOTICE OF CLAIM") to the other Party identifying the dispute and stating the desire to resolve the dispute. After receiving the Notice of Claim, respondent will respond in writing by stating its position and setting forth a proposed resolution of the dispute. If claimant and respondent are not able to

36

resolve the dispute within twenty (20) days thereafter, the matter in dispute shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC"). The arbitral tribunal shall be comprised of three arbitrators; the Party-nominated arbitrators shall be appointed in accordance with the Rules of the ICC. The Party-nominated arbitrators will have thirty (30) days to appoint a chair who shall have relevant expertise in the subject matter of the dispute and the applicable laws of the Territory. If they are unable to make such appointment within that time, then the chair shall be appointed in accordance with the Rules of the ICC, provided that the chair appointed by the ICC shall have relevant expertise in the subject matter of the dispute and the applicable laws of the Territory. The place of arbitration shall be Stockholm, Sweden. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The Parties agree that the losing Party shall bear the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, the cost of the arbitrators and the ICC administrative expenses and the attorney's fees and reasonable associated costs and expenses of each Party. The Parties agree to reasonable document discovery provided the requesting Party makes a showing of relevance and need to the tribunal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may seek an immediate injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction (i) to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Licensor Information or Confidential Licensee Information, as applicable, in violation of Article IX herein or (ii) to prevent an assignment of this Agreement in violation of Section 12.1 herein.

Upon such Permitted Transferee ceasing to be a Permitted Transferee hereunder, any Transfer of rights and obligations hereunder shall be null and void from inception and of no further force or effect. A transferring Party shall remain directly liable for the performance by its Permitted Transferee of all obligations of such transferring Party under this Agreement.
