                                             ***Confidential Treatment Requested

<PAGE>

     (c)  Amgen hereby grants to InterMune a non-exclusive sublicense under the
          Existing License Patents solely to import, manufacture and have
          manufactured Infergen in the Territory, provided, however, that
          InterMune will not manufacture any Infergen or grant any rights to any
          Third Party to manufacture Infergen for InterMune until and unless
          Amgen has first granted its consent thereto pursuant to Section 3(d)
          below.

     (d)  Prior to manufacturing or engaging any Contract Manufacturer (other
          than [***]) to manufacture any Licensed Product, InterMune shall
          provide to Amgen a written request for such manufacturing along with a
          reasonably detailed description of the manufacturing activities, the
          Contract Manufacturer (if applicable), and upon Amgen's reasonable
          request, any other information that would be helpful to Amgen in
          evaluating the then current capabilities of InterMune or such Contract
          Manufacturer and the extent to which such Contract Manufacturer (if
          applicable) is competitive to Amgen. Within [***] days of receiving
          InterMune's request and such supplemental information as Amgen
          requests pursuant to this Section 3(d), Amgen will review such request
          and provide to InterMune its decision about whether to consent to the
          proposed manufacturing activities, which consent will not be
          unreasonably withheld. Once Amgen has approved a sublicense to a
          particular Contract Manufacturer, Amgen's further consent will not be
          required for such Contract Manufacturer to use its affiliates and
          subcontractors to perform elements of the manufacturing, filling and
          finishing of Licensed Products.

     The licenses set forth in this Section 3 are granted [***] or [***] other
     than as set forth in [***] of the Agreement. Notwithstanding any
     sublicensing of InterMune's rights and obligations hereunder to [***] or
     other Authorized Sublicensees, InterMune will remain responsible for the
     full and complete performance of all of InterMune's obligations and duties
     hereunder and under the Agreement. Nothing herein is intended to alter the
     exclusive rights granted to InterMune by Amgen in Article 2 of the
     Agreement. InterMune's licenses set forth this Section 3 will, upon
     expiration of the Agreement as set forth in Section 13.1 thereof,
     automatically convert to being irrevocable and fully-paid.

4.   Amgen hereby covenants that during the period of InterMune's licenses set
     forth in Section 3 hereof, neither Amgen, nor any Amgen Affiliate or
     assignee (the "Amgen Covenantors") will sue InterMune, its Affiliates, its
     assignees and/or Authorized Sublicensees for infringement of any Patent or
     know-how owned or Controlled by any Amgen Covenantor (but excluding the
     Amgen Manufacturing Technology), or under which any Amgen Covenantor has
     the right to sue infringers, solely to the extent InterMune, its
     Affiliates, its assignees and/or its Authorized Sublicensees are performing
     Allowed Activities. The covenant in this Section 4 is expressly subject to
     InterMune's and its Affiliates', assignees' and/or sublicensees' continuous
     compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment and the
     Agreement.

     For the avoidance of doubt, nothing set forth in the Agreement or this
     Amendment will preclude Amgen from using the Amgen Manufacturing Technology
     or granting a license to the Amgen Manufacturing Technology to a Third
     Party, in each case for: [***].

                                             ***Confidential Treatment Requested

          the Amendment Effective Date, except for relevant manufacturing
          know-how and documentation set forth on Exhibit 5 hereto that relates
          to tasks and processes currently performed at [***] which Amgen will
          complete within [***] days after the Amendment Effective Date;
          provided, however, that in the event that InterMune provides written
          notice to Amgen of specific know-how and documentation that relates to
          tasks and processes currently performed at [***] and the reason that
          the same is needed prior to the end of such [***] day [***] period
          then Amgen shall use reasonable efforts to endeavor to provide the
          requested know-how and documentation sooner) and such other know-how
          and documentation necessary to manufacture Infergen as InterMune
          reasonably requests, provided that such know-how and documentation

     InterMune acknowledges that Amgen has already expended, but not yet
     invoiced InterMune for, approximately [***] hours of technical support
     expended in [***], which will be deemed deducted from such [***] hours of
     technical support described above. In its sole discretion, Amgen may
     provide additional support beyond the hour limits stated above upon
     InterMune's reasonable request. InterMune and Amgen will each endeavor to
     manage blocks of time for coordinating technical transfer discussions,
     issues and manufacturing site interactions with Amgen and [***] so as to
     minimize [***], in accordance with the preliminary transfer plan attached
     as Exhibit 4 hereto. During the first [***] months and [***] days from the
     Amendment Effective Date, the Parties will hold [***] meetings with the
     appropriate technical personnel from InterMune and Amgen, and at
     InterMune's request, [***], no less than [***] as described in more detail
     in the Communications Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 8. Where practicable,
     such meeting will be held at [***]. Amgen's technical support obligations
     under Sections 6(a), (b) and (c) above with respect to transfer of the
     Manufacturing Process will not extend beyond [***]

     months from the execution of the CDA (the "Initial Support Term"), subject
     to subsection (i) below, and provided that Amgen's obligation to provide up
     to [***] hours of regulatory support will continue until such time as [***]
     receives FDA approval to manufacture bulk and finished Infergen for
     commercial supply.

     Amgen will [***], and InterMune will [***] Amgen under this Section 6 in
     accordance with the Additional Work provision in Exhibit F of the Agreement
     as well as [***] Amgen's [***] including, without limitation, [***]. All
     such [***] will be [***] in accordance with Amgen's then-current [***]
     policy.

     Solely in the event that, prior to InterMune providing a notice to Amgen
     pursuant to Section 14(b) below and prior to InterMune obtaining regulatory
     approval for the production of any Licensed Product at [***], the
     Manufacturing Process transfer is [***] by Process-Related Technical Issues
     that [***] Amgen will:

     (i)  use such efforts as [***] (if any) to render the Manufacturing Process
          transferable, which will be at its own expense once the
          above-mentioned [***] hours of technical support have been utilized;
          and

     (ii) notwithstanding Section 14(a), continue to manufacture and supply

     Each Party will designate in writing to the other Party a project leader,
     which individual will be a person of appropriate experience, skill and
     knowledge to oversee such Party's activities under this Section 6. If any
     dispute between the Parties arises relating to Amgen's provision of support
     under this Section 6, then either Party may give written notice thereof to
     the other Party. Within [***] days of receipt of such notice, the project
     leaders will meet and attempt in good faith to resolve such disputed issue.
     If such project leaders are unable to resolve any such issue within [***]
     days after receipt of such notice, then such issue will be dealt with as
     set forth in Section 14.1 of the Agreement.

7.   (a)  InterMune will obtain a covenant from [***] (and any other Contract
          Manufacturer [***]) that provides that such Contract Manufacturer

               behalf of a Third Party, enter into any agreement, render
               services or otherwise supply any Licensed Product to any Third
               Party other than InterMune and its Affiliates, assignees and/or
               sublicensees whereby such agreement, service or supply would

               Amgen, either before or after it becomes known to such Contract
               Manufacturer; (2) was known to such Contract Manufacturer,
               without obligation to keep it confidential, prior to when it was
               received from InterMune or Amgen, as demonstrated by competent
               written proof; (3) is subsequently disclosed to such Contract
               Manufacturer by a Third Party lawfully in possession thereof
               without obligation to keep it confidential; (4) has been publicly

               Securities Dealers or of the FDA or its Canadian equivalents or
               any successor thereto.

          InterMune's obligations under this subsection (a) will expire
          simultaneously with Amgen's obligation to [***] that the above
          covenants be maintained; provided that no such expiration will relieve
          InterMune of its confidentiality obligations under the Agreement.

     (b)  Prior to Amgen commencing the delivery of any Amgen Materials or Amgen
          Manufacturing Technology to or on behalf of InterMune under this
          Amendment, and for so long as subsection (a) remains in effect,

     (c)  If [***] to [***] by the obligations set forth in Sections 7(a), 7(c)
          and 9 of this Amendment, and InterMune is [***] a suitable [***] then
          InterMune will give Amgen written notice thereof. In such event,
          InterMune will reimburse Amgen for all of its costs incurred in
          performing its obligations under this Amendment, and InterMune may
          thereafter terminate this Amendment upon providing written notice of
          such termination to Amgen.

8.   Amgen retains all rights, title and interest in and to the Amgen Technology
     and Amgen Manufacturing Technology and will have the right to use the
     Manufacturing Process and/or transfer the Manufacturing Process (and/or the
     right to access and reference the Infergen BLA as it exists as of the
     Amendment Effective Date) to one or more Third Parties solely to enable
     such Third Parties to manufacture products that are not Licensed Products
     for any reason and to manufacture products comprising Licensed Products for

     Improvements, with respect to any product containing [***] by any Amgen
     Covenantor thereof for use and/or sale outside the Territory during the
     Term. InterMune will automatically be deemed to have extended the foregoing
     covenant to any licensee of any Amgen Covenantor [***] any product
     containing [***], which licensee has provided to InterMune, in writing, a
     covenant identical to that set forth in Section 11, for so long as such
     licensee's covenant remains in effect.

10.  Amgen will have a complete and unrestricted right to reference the Infergen
     BLA held by InterMune, its Affiliates, assignees and/or sublicensees,
     including all updates and supplements thereto, for the sole purpose of
     manufacturing Infergen for InterMune, its Affiliates, assignees and/or
     sublicensees until the expiration or termination of all of Amgen's
     obligations to manufacture Infergen for InterMune and/or its Affiliates,
     assigns and/or sublicensees, but thereafter Amgen will have no right of
     reference to any updates or supplements to the Infergen BLA filed by
     InterMune or its Affiliates or sublicensees after the Amendment Effective
     Date.

     (a)  Upon termination of the Agreement (except InterMune's termination for
          Amgen's material breach), InterMune will be deemed to have hereby
          granted to Amgen a [***] non-exclusive license, with the right to
          grant sublicenses, under the InterMune Manufacturing Improvements
          (including, without limitation, InterMune Manufacturing Improvements
          conceived, created or discovered by [***] (or any other Contract
          Manufacturer)), solely to the extent necessary to update the
          Manufacturing Process and to use for any filings with Regulatory
          Authorities relating to the Manufacturing Process and for the
          operation of the Manufacturing Process as improved.

     (b)  Nothing in subsection (a) above will require InterMune to provide
          Amgen with access to: (i) [***] developed by or for InterMune or its
          Affiliates or sublicensees,

                                             ***Confidential Treatment Requested

<PAGE>

          or (ii) any confidential or proprietary information of any Third
          Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Third Party
          claim against Amgen arising from InterMune's use of the Manufacturing
          Process (as improved by any InterMune Manufacturing Improvements),
          InterMune will provide Amgen, at Amgen's expense, access to the
          InterMune Manufacturing Improvements (including but not limited to any
          [***] developed by or for InterMune or its Affiliates or sublicensees)
          solely in order for Amgen to defend against such Third Party claim.

     Nothing in this Section 10 is intended to prevent the Parties from entering
     into one or more separate agreements or arrangements to provide Amgen
     access to any InterMune Manufacturing Improvements on such terms as the
     Parties may agree in their respective sole and absolute discretion.

11.  All Amgen Manufacturing Improvements will be owned solely and exclusively
     by Amgen. Subject to Section 4 above, InterMune will have no right or
     license to any Amgen Manufacturing Improvement. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, Amgen hereby covenants that no Amgen Covenantor will sue any
     InterMune Covenantor for infringement of any Patent owned or Controlled by
     any Amgen Covenantor, or under which any Amgen Covenantor has the right to
     sue infringers, in each case claiming any Amgen Manufacturing Improvements,
     with respect to any Licensed Product manufactured by any InterMune
     Covenantor thereof for use and/or sale within the Territory during the
     period of InterMune's licenses set forth in Section 3 hereof.

     THE AMGEN MANUFACTURING IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," AND AMGEN MAKES
     NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY AMGEN MANUFACTURING
     IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE, FITNESS
     FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MARKETABILITY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD
     PARTY PROPRIETARY RIGHT. NO AMGEN COVENANTOR WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY
     INTERMUNE COVENANTOR RELATING TO SUCH INTERMUNE COVENANTOR'S USE OF ANY
     AMGEN MANUFACTURING IMPROVEMENT.

12.  InterMune will have no right of reference to any updates or supplements to
     any BLA for a product comprising [***] filed by Amgen or its Affiliates,
     licensees or sublicensees after the successful completion of the transfer
     of the Manufacturing Process to [***] (or another Contract Manufacturer, as
     the case may be) as contemplated in this Amendment.

     (a)  Upon termination of the Agreement (except Amgen's termination for
          InterMune's material breach), Amgen will be deemed to have hereby
          granted to InterMune a [***], non-exclusive license, with the right to
          grant sublicenses, under the Amgen Manufacturing Improvements, solely
          to the extent necessary to update the Manufacturing Process and to use
          for any filings with Regulatory Authorities relating to the
          Manufacturing Process and for the operation of the Manufacturing
          Process as improved.

     (b)  Nothing in subsection (a) above will require Amgen to provide
          InterMune with access: to (i) any [***] developed by or for Amgen or
          its Affiliates or sublicensees, or (ii) any confidential or
          proprietary information of any Third Party. Notwithstanding the
          foregoing, in the event of a Third Party claim against InterMune
          arising from Amgen's use of the Manufacturing Process (as improved by
          any Amgen Manufacturing Improvements), Amgen will provide InterMune,
          at InterMune's expense, access to the Amgen Manufacturing Improvements
          (including but not limited to any [***] developed by or for Amgen or
          its Affiliates or sublicensees) solely in order for InterMune to
          defend against such Third Party claim.

     Nothing in this Section 12 is intended to prevent the Parties from entering
     into one or more separate agreements or arrangements to provide InterMune
     access to any Amgen Manufacturing Improvements on such terms as the Parties
     may agree in their respective sole and absolute discretion.

13.  InterMune will be [***] for [***] associated with all work Amgen performs
     pursuant to Sections 6 and 14 of this Amendment in accordance with the
     "Additional Work" provisions of Exhibit F of the Agreement. Amgen will
     [***] InterMune no more frequently than [***] for all such work. InterMune
     will [***] within [***] days of receipt.

14.  (a)  In accordance with InterMune's expected Regulatory Approval by [***]
          and subject to Amgen's obligations under Sections 5 and 6 of this
          Amendment, Amgen's commitment to manufacture Infergen pursuant to
          Exhibit F of the Agreement will be changed to the schedule provided
          below, unless InterMune notifies Amgen in writing pursuant to Exhibit
          F, Rolling Forecast section of the Agreement:

          (i)  [***]

          (ii) [***]

          Amgen will provide InterMune with its production schedules and
          inventory reports for Infergen at least [***] for so long as Amgen
          manufactures Infergen for InterMune.

     (b)  If, prior to the dates set forth in subsection (a) above, the Rolling
          Forecast provides for no Infergen to be manufactured, InterMune
          reserves the right to provide written notice to Amgen that Amgen will
          no longer be required to produce [***] Infergen following a specified
          date (an "End Date"). In any event, InterMune shall also have the
          right to provide [***] month written notice to Amgen that Amgen will
          no longer be required to produce [***] Infergen following a specified
          date (also, an "End Date"). Upon the earlier of Amgen's receipt of
          either type of written notice described in this Section 14(b) or
          InterMune's receipt of Regulatory Approval for [***] or other Contract
          Manufacturer to manufacture Infergen for commercial use in the
          Territory, Amgen shall automatically and irrevocably be released of
          all obligations to manufacture, supply and/or provide

                                             ***Confidential Treatment Requested

<PAGE>

          assistance relating thereto following an applicable End Date or the
          date of InterMune's receipt of Regulatory Approval; provided, however:

          (i)  at InterMune's written request, Amgen shall complete any
               then-current work-in-progress and InterMune shall promptly take
               all necessary actions, with Amgen's reasonable cooperation, to
               remove Amgen's name from the Infergen BLA; and

          (ii) unless otherwise requested in writing by InterMune, Amgen will
               remain responsible for continuing to perform all on-going
               regulatory obligations required of pharmaceutical manufacturers
               by the FDA for all Infergen manufactured by Amgen for InterMune,
               including without limitation stability testing. Such work will be
               [***] in accordance with the "Additional Work" provisions of
               Exhibit F of the Agreement.

          Nothing in this subsection (b) is intended to release Amgen from its
          obligations under Section 4.7 of the Agreement or under Sections 5(e),
          6, 11, 12 and 13 of the [***].

     (c)  The work described in subsections (b)(i) and (ii) above will be [***]
          in accordance with the "Additional Work" provisions of Exhibit F of
          the Agreement.

     (d)  Notwithstanding InterMune obtaining Regulatory Approval for [***] or
          other Contract Manufacturer to manufacture Infergen, InterMune shall
          remain obligated to purchase remaining [***] Infergen manufactured, or
          in the process of being manufactured, by Amgen, based on the Rolling
          Forecast. Concurrently with Amgen's final invoice for such Infergen,
          Amgen shall deliver to InterMune an invoice for a [***] (or [***] as
          applicable) representing the [***] between the [***] for [***]
          Infergen and [***] Infergen charged to InterMune based on the
          then-established [***] for the last applicable fiscal year (based on
          Amgen's fiscal year), or portion thereof and Amgen's actual [***] for
          manufacturing Infergen for the same period. Such [***] (or [***] as
          applicable) will not include the [***] for any work for which Amgen
          [***] InterMune under the "Additional Work" provisions of Exhibit F of
          the Agreement.

15.  The forecast for [***] Infergen and [***] for the next [***] quarters
     attached hereto as Exhibit 6 (the "New Forecast") will have the effect of
     replacing the previous Rolling Forecast provided by InterMune under the
     Agreement for each quarter so forecasted.

16.  Each Party hereby confirms to the other Party that the indemnity and
     insurance obligations set forth in Sections 10.2 and 10.3 of the Agreement
     remain in full force and effect and will apply to all of the
     responsibilities under the Agreement, including the manufacture,
     distribution, marketing and sale of Licensed Products. InterMune further
     agrees that beginning on the date InterMune (or its Affiliates, assignees,
     sublicensees, subcontractors, co-promoters/co-marketers and distributors)
     first offers for sale a Licensed Product not manufactured by Amgen,
     InterMune will maintain product liability insurance with reasonable
     deductibles and aggregate coverage limits for the Licensed

                                             ***Confidential Treatment Requested

<PAGE>

     Products no lower than [***] U.S. dollars [***] which limits are not
     intended to be construed as (x) a limit to the obligations set forth in
     Section 10.3 of the Agreement, (y) a measure of adequate insurance to cover
     InterMune's obligations under the Agreement, nor (z) a limit to the
     InterMune's liability with respect to indemnification obligations under the
     Agreement.

17.  Amgen hereby represents and warrants that Amgen has sufficient rights in
     and to the Amgen Manufacturing Technology and the Amgen Technology to grant
     the rights set forth in this Amendment.

Except as expressly stated herein, all terms and conditions of the Agreement
will remain in full force and effect.

If you are in agreement with the terms of this Amendment, please have an
authorized representative of your company sign the two (2) enclosed originals,
and return them to the attention of [***] at InterMune. We will return one fully
executed original for your records.

Sincerely,
