6.02 PAYMENT TERM.

     (a) Except as otherwise set forth below, terms of payment for PRODUCT,
shall be net thirty (30) days from COPHARMA QA release of PRODUCT and receipt
from COPHARMA of a corresponding invoice by SERAGEN, provided there is then a
valid purchase order from SERAGEN in effect for such released PRODUCT, unless a
Batch is deemed nonconforming within said thirty (30) day period. Payment shall
be net thirty (30) days following resolution of a dispute over nonconforming
PRODUCT. Payment for PRODUCT, however, does not in any way impact SERAGEN's
rights pursuant to Articles 2.11-2.15. The invoice from COPHARMA shall credit
advance payments made by SERAGEN under subpart (b) to cover estimated material
costs for PRODUCT.

     (b) As applies to production of PRODUCT: On *** of each year COPHARMA shall
invoice SERAGEN for *** the raw materials costs for the Batches ordered by PO

day of every month for scheduled work performed during that month.

6.03 ***

6.04 MATTERS AFFECTING PRICE OF PRODUCT AND FDP TESTING. The pricing of PRODUCT
and FDP release and stability testing set forth on Exhibit B is based upon the
current Manufacturing and Release Requirements for first generation PRODUCT, the
anticipated Manufacturing and Release Requirements for second generation
PRODUCT, and the current release and stability testing procedures for FDP, as
well as current regulatory requirements. In the event that any regulatory
requirements change or the manner of producing the PRODUCT or performing release
and stability testing for FDP, as set forth on Exhibit A or as anticipated for
second generation PRODUCT, changes, in such a way to increase or decrease the
cost or burden on COPHARMA to manufacture the PRODUCT or perform such release
and stability testing, the parties agree to negotiate an appropriate price
adjustment.

     Similarly, the pricing of PRODUCT and FDP release and stability testing set
forth on Exhibit B is based upon the number of inquiries, requests for
information and explanation, and similar forms of correspondence which COPHARMA
would expect to have from a customer of its contract manufacturing services. In
the event that the burden of answering and dealing with such inquiries, requests
for information and explanation, and other similar forms of correspondence from
SERAGEN is greater than the burden associated with the provision of similar
services to other customers the parties agree to negotiate appropriate pricing
increases.

6.05 DELIVERY OF PRODUCT. Delivery shall be FOB the COPHARMA Plant located at 97
South Street, Hopkinton, Massachusetts or such other location as agreed to by
the parties. SERAGEN shall, at its cost, ensure that adequate insurance
coverage, for full replacement cost, exists on PRODUCT in transit to SERAGEN or
its designee in the event that such PRODUCT is damaged, destroyed or lost, and
shall bear all costs of such insurance. Title to and risk of loss of PRODUCT
shall pass to SERAGEN or its designee at the time of SERAGEN QA release of
PRODUCT.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                    CONFIDENTIALITY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

provided, however, that this shall not impact COPHARMA'S rights to file patent
applications and prosecute, maintain, enforce and defend such applications and
subsequently issued patents pursuant to the terms of Section 7.05 of this
Agreement covering such Proprietary Information. The obligations of non-use and
nondisclosure shall not apply to Proprietary Information that:

     (a) is known by the receiving Party at the time of its receipt, and not
through a prior disclosure by the disclosing Party, as documented by written
records;

     (b) is at the time of disclosure or thereafter becomes published or
otherwise part of the public domain without breach hereof by the receiving
Party;

     (c) is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party who
has no confidentiality obligation to the disclosing Party with respect to the
information disclosed;

     (d) is developed by the receiving Party independently of Proprietary

on the condition that such third parties agree to be bound by the
confidentiality obligations and use restrictions contained in this Agreement and
that the term of such obligations and restrictions for such third parties shall
be no less than the term of such obligations and restrictions hereunder, but
such disclosure may be only to the extent reasonably necessary for such
purposes; or

     (g) is required to be disclosed by law or court order, PROVIDED that notice
is promptly delivered to the other Party in order to provide it with an
opportunity to seek a protective order or other similar order with respect to
such Proprietary Information, but such disclosure may be only to the extent
reasonably necessary to comply with the required disclosure, whether or not a
protective order or other similar order is obtained by the other Party.

or jointly by SERAGEN, provided that COPHARMA's costs are paid for by SERAGEN.

With respect to Intellectual Property owned solely by COPHARMA, COPHARMA shall
first decide whether, when and where to file a patent application. If COPHARMA
decides to file a patent application to protect Intellectual Property, it shall
be solely responsible for filing, prosecuting, maintaining, enforcing and
defending such application or subsequently issued patent. If COPHARMA decides
not to file a patent application to protect PRODUCT Intellectual Property, or
decides to abandon an existing patent or patent application covering PRODUCT

assign its rights to the PRODUCT Intellectual Property to SERAGEN and shall
provide SERAGEN with reasonable assistance in obtaining patent protection,
provided that COPHARMA's costs are paid for by SERAGEN.

7.06 NO PUBLICITY. No Party shall disclose the terms related to this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the other Party. Nothing in the foregoing,
however, shall prohibit a Party from making such disclosures to the extent
deemed necessary under applicable federal or state securities laws or any rule
or regulation of any nationally recognized securities exchange; in such event,
however, the disclosing Party shall use good faith efforts to consult with the
other Party prior to such disclosure and, where applicable, shall request
confidential treatment to the extent available. In addition, COPHARMA may
disclose the identity of SERAGEN as a customer of COPHARMA to other customers
and potential customers.

7.07 TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that
neither Party has acquired, nor shall it acquire by virtue of this Agreement or
the activities contemplated hereby, any interest in any of the other Party's

out of or results from the breach by COPHARMA of the terms of this Agreement or
failure of COPHARMA to provide PRODUCT that meets or exceeds the Manufacturing
and Release Requirements at the time of release to SERAGEN and was manufactured
in accordance with cGMPs.

provided in this Article 8, the indemnified Party shall promptly notify the

before the effective date of termination; provided, however, that upon any
termination of this Agreement COPHARMA shall cease any further provision of
Technology Services and, except as set forth below, shall cease all other
services under this Agreement as well. Upon a termination of this Agreement, in
addition to payment for the PRODUCT, Technology Services and other services

     In the event that this Agreement is terminated for a breach or default of
SERAGEN or LIGAND then, in addition to the provisions set forth above, SERAGEN
shall pay to COPHARMA, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, (i) the
amount SERAGEN would have had to pay if COPHARMA had manufactured all remaining
PRODUCT called for by the forecasts for PRODUCT in effect at the time of such

such PRODUCT according to article 6.02(b) and (ii) the amount SERAGEN would have
had to pay if COPHARMA had performed the remaining Technology Services called
for through December 31, 2001, less the estimated costs COPHARMA would have
incurred in providing such Technology Services. Such payments shall be made in a
lump sum amount on the date of the termination of this Agreement.

all of which together constitute one and the same instrument.

11.08 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to

11.09 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement (including the Exhibits), the Asset
Purchase Agreement of even date herewith and of its all attachments, and all
