Breach no later than ninety (90)&nbsp;days from when a Section&nbsp;16 officer of PDL first becomes actually aware of such Breach (or it will no longer have a right to claim that Alexion has Breached the No Contest Covenant with regard to such
alleged Breach). Alexion will have ten (10)&nbsp;days after receipt of such notice to cure such Breach (the &#147;<B>Cure Period</B>&#148;) (although the presence of this cure provision is not an admission by PDL that any such Breach of the No
Contest Covenant is curable). If Alexion fails to cure such Breach during the Cure Period or the Breach is not curable, then PDL must submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section&nbsp;5 to determine whether Alexion has Breached the No

such dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section&nbsp;5 to determine whether Alexion has Breached the No Contest Covenant (or if applicable, failed to cure such Breach during the Cure Period), PDL will no longer have any right to claim that Alexion
has Breached the No Contest Covenant with regard to such alleged Breach. Only if an arbitrator panel has issued a decision pursuant to a proceeding conducted in accordance with Section&nbsp;5 that PDL has proved in that arbitration, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that Alexion has Breached the No Contest Provision prior to December&nbsp;2, 2014, shall PDL be immediately entitled to the following relief upon written notice to Alexion that is delivered within ten (10)&nbsp;days

disputes between them relating to Alexion&#146;s humanized antibody, Soliris<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> (eculizumab) and PDL&#146;s patents known as the Queen et al. patents. </FONT></P> <P

portfolio, and provided Alexion a covenant not to sue in respect of other claims in the Queen patent portfolio, thus permitting Alexion to commercialize Soliris<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> for all indications under
the Queen patents. In consideration of this license, Alexion will pay PDL $25 million. No additional payments will be owed by Alexion to PDL under the Queen patents in respect of Soliris<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT>
sales for any indication. As part of the settlement, Alexion has confirmed that the Queen patent claims are valid and that Soliris<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> employs technology covered under the Queen patents.
Further, Alexion has agreed not to challenge or assist other parties in challenging the validity of the Queen patents in the future. </FONT></P> <P
