(d) all rights of Seller under the Seller Contracts identified on Schedule 1.1(d) (the Seller Contracts referred to in this Section 1.1(d) being referred to as the Transferred Contracts);
(e) all claims of Seller against other Persons relating to the Transferred Assets and all rights of indemnity, warranty rights, rights of contribution, rights to refunds, rights of reimbursement and other rights of recovery possessed by Seller relating to the Transferred Assets; and
(f) all accounts receivable, notes receivable and other receivables of Seller; and
(g) all deposits, advances, prepaid expenses, accrued rebates and credits.
1.2 Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties agree that Seller is not selling, assigning, transferring, conveying or delivering to Purchaser, and the Transferred Assets shall not include, any of Sellers rights under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any of the assets specifically identified on Schedule 1.2 (the Excluded Assets).
1.3 Purchase Price. As consideration for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Transferred Assets to Purchaser, at the Closing (a) Purchaser shall issue to Seller at the Closing an aggregate of 10,649,904 shares of Series G Preferred Stock (the Closing Shares), of which 2,219,981 shares of Series G Preferred Stock will be held by Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.4 and Section 7 hereof (the Holdback Shares); (b) when and if the Milestone Event is achieved prior to the seventh anniversary of the date hereof, Purchaser shall issue to Seller (or if Seller has been dissolved at such time, to the Stockholders who have executed a Stockholder Package) an aggregate of 14,959,114 shares of Series G Preferred Stock (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations and the like) (as adjusted, the Milestone Shares, and together with the Closing Shares, the Securities), or if an Acquisition of Purchaser has occurred prior to the date the Milestone Event is achieved prior to the seventh anniversary of the date hereof, in lieu of the Milestone Shares, Purchaser (or its successor-in-interest) shall issue to Seller (or if Seller has been dissolved at such time, to the Stockholders who have executed a Stockholder Package) the same consideration received by the other holders of Series G Preferred Stock in such Acquisition equivalent to the number of Milestone Shares otherwise receivable pursuant to this clause (b), (c) Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Liabilities; and (d) Purchaser shall assume all other liabilities of Seller (other than the Assumed Liabilities) up to an amount equal to the amount of Accrued Wages (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.11) (the Additional Liabilities), provided, however, that if the Additional Liabilities assumed by Purchaser are less than the amount of Accrued Wages, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller the difference in cash no later than December 31,
2
2018 ((a), (b), (c) and (d) collectively, the Purchase Price). The Closing Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Holdback Shares except to the extent forfeited pursuant to Section 7.8) shall be reflected on Purchasers books and records as issued at Closing to Seller (and Seller shall have the rights to vote and dividends, if any, paid with respect to such Securities), for which stock certificates will be delivered by Purchaser after Closing (subject to the provisions of this Agreement in the case of the Holdback Shares).
1.4 Holdback Shares. At Closing, Purchaser shall issue the Holdback Shares to the Seller, provided, however, that the Holdback Shares shall be subject to forfeiture to Purchaser in accordance with Section 7.8, for no consideration payable to the applicable holder of such Holdback Shares (the Holdback Forfeiture Condition). On the date [***] days after the Survival Date (the Release Date), the Holdback Forfeiture Condition shall expire with respect to the number of Holdback Shares equal to the then remaining Holdback Shares as of the Release Date and shall be, to the extent such number of shares exceeds the aggregate value of all Unresolved Claims as of the Release Date, issued to Seller (or if Seller has been dissolved at such time, to the Stockholders who have executed a Stockholder Package). Any portion of the Holdback Shares that is retained to satisfy such Unresolved Claims shall be referred to as the Retained Amount. Following the Release Date, once an Unresolved Claim is finally resolved, then, promptly upon the final resolutions of such Unresolved Claim, the Holdback Forfeiture Condition shall expire with respect to the number of Holdback Shares equal to the amount not required to satisfy such claim, if any, to the extent that the portion of the Retained Amount not permanently withheld by Purchaser as of such time exceeds the aggregate of all amounts then subject to Unresolved Claims, issued to Seller (or if Seller has been dissolved at such time, to the Stockholders who have executed a Stockholder Package).
1.5 Assumption of Certain Liabilities. Purchaser will not assume any Liabilities of Seller (whether or not related to the Transferred Assets), including any Liabilities (including costs and expenses) incurred as a result of Legal Proceedings relating to any such Liabilities. As the sole exception to the foregoing, effective as of the close of business on the Closing Date, Purchaser will assume, discharge and perform as and when due all of the obligations of Seller (a) under the Transferred Contracts, but in any case only to the extent that such obligations: (i) arise after the Closing Date; (ii) do not arise from or relate to any breach by Seller of any provision of any of such Transferred Contracts prior to the Closing; (iii) do not arise from or relate to any event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing on or prior to the Closing Date that, with notice or lapse of time, would constitute or result in a breach of any of such Transferred Contracts; and (iv) are ascertainable solely by reference to the express terms of such Transferred Contracts; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be obligated to assume, discharge or perform any Liability under any Transferred Contract, if Seller shall not have obtained any Consent required to be obtained from any Person with respect to the assignment or delegation to Purchaser of any rights or obligations under such Transferred Contract; and (b) those Liabilities expressly set forth on Schedule 1.5 (collectively, the Assumed Liabilities).
1.6 Closing. The closing of the sale of the Transferred Assets to Purchaser and the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the Closing) shall take place concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The date on which the Closing is held is herein referred to as the Closing Date.

1.7 Transaction Taxes.
(a) Seller shall be liable for any stamp, documentary, sales, use, value added, registration, property, excise, transfer or similar Taxes, charges or fees (Transfer Taxes) that may become payable in connection with the conveyance and transfer of the Transferred Assets to Purchaser or otherwise in connection with the Transactions, and Seller will make all filings, returns, reports and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of all applicable Legal Requirements relating to Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Seller will cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary to prepare and file all necessary documents relating to Transfer Taxes as may be required.
(b) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to reasonably cooperate, with each other to lawfully minimize any Transfer Taxes. At Purchasers discretion, any such Transfer Taxes incurred by Purchaser may be withheld from payments otherwise due pursuant to this Agreement.
1.8 Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from all amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement all amounts that Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold under any provision of applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent such amounts are withheld or deducted and paid over to the applicable Governmental Body, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
1.9 Seller Put Option.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.9, if the Milestone Event is achieved prior to the seventh anniversary of the date hereof, Seller shall have the option (the Put Option) to cause Purchaser to redeem the Milestone Shares from Seller and the Stockholders at a price equal to [***] per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations, conversions and the like) (as adjusted, the Redemption Price) after receipt by Purchaser of Sellers election to exercise the Put Option (the Redemption Request). The Put Option shall expire six months after the date the Milestone Event is achieved. Upon receipt of a Redemption Request, Purchaser shall redeem the Put Option over up to eight calendar quarters in equal quarterly installments, plus interest as described below, with redemption payments commencing in the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter when Purchaser receives the Redemption Request. The date of each such installment shall be referred to as a Redemption Date. On each Redemption Date, Purchaser shall redeem, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Milestone Shares owned by Seller or a Stockholder, that number of outstanding Milestone Shares determined by dividing (i) the total number of Milestone Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Redemption Date by (ii) the number of remaining Redemption Dates (including the Redemption Date to which such calculation applies). This Section 1.9 shall be interpreted to conform, to the greatest extent possible, with the provisions of Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. If
4
on any Redemption Date Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders prevents Purchaser from redeeming all Milestone Shares to be redeemed, Purchaser shall ratably redeem the maximum number of Milestone Shares that it may redeem consistent with such law, and shall redeem the remaining Milestone Shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under such law. Following a Redemption Request, Purchaser may elect to redeem all remaining Milestone Shares outstanding at any time.
(b) Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each holder of Milestone Shares to be redeemed on such Redemption Date shall, if a holder of shares in certificated form, surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser to indemnify Purchaser against any claim that may be made against Purchaser on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to Purchaser, in the manner and at the place designated by Purchaser, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event less than all of the Milestone Shares represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the unredeemed Milestone Shares shall promptly be issued to such holder.
(c) Interest. If any Milestone Shares are not redeemed for any reason on any Redemption Date, all such unredeemed shares shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein, and Purchaser shall pay interest on the Redemption Price applicable to such unredeemed shares at an aggregate per annum rate equal to [***] (increased to [***] if Purchaser is more than [***] business days late in making a payment on a Redemption Date beginning on the date such payment was due and lasting until the late redemption payment and any interest thereon has been paid in full), with such interest to accrue daily in arrears beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which Purchaser receives the Redemption Request; provided, however, that in no event shall such interest exceed the maximum permitted rate of interest under applicable law (the Maximum Permitted Rate), provided, however, that Purchaser shall take all such actions as may be necessary, including without limitation, making any applicable governmental filings, to cause the Maximum Permitted Rate to be the highest possible rate. In the event any provision hereof would result in the rate of interest payable hereunder being in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate, the amount of interest required to be paid hereunder shall automatically be reduced to eliminate such excess; provided, however, that any subsequent increase in the Maximum Permitted Rate shall be retroactively effective to the applicable Redemption Date to the extent permitted by law. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no prepayment penalty (and no interest shall be due) if any redemption payments or Redemption Prices are paid prior to a required Redemption Date.
(d) Nature of Redemption Payments. The redemption payments set forth in this Section 1.9 shall be general, unsecured obligations of Purchaser.
5
1.10 Purchaser Call Option.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.10, if the Milestone Event is achieved prior to the seventh anniversary of the date hereof, Purchaser shall have the option (the Call Option) to repurchase the Milestone Shares from Seller and the Stockholders at a price equal to [***] per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations, conversions and the like) (as adjusted, the Repurchase Price). The Call Option shall be exercisable during the twelve month period starting thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Put Option as described in Section 1.9.
(b) Exercise of Call Option. Purchaser, or any assignee or assignees of Purchaser, may exercise the Call Option with respect to all or a portion of the Milestone Shares by giving notice to the holder of the Milestone Shares during the period of the Call Option in writing. Upon exercise of the Call Option, Purchaser will pay to the holder of the Milestone Shares the Repurchase Price for the Milestone Shares being repurchased. Purchaser may pay the Repurchase Price in two equal quarterly installments, plus interest at an aggregate per annum rate equal to [***], with such interest to accrue daily in arrears beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which Purchaser exercises the Call Option; provided, however, that in no event shall such interest exceed the Maximum Permitted Rate, provided, however, that Purchaser shall take all such actions as may be necessary, including without limitation, making any applicable governmental filings, to cause the Maximum Permitted Rate to be the highest possible rate. In the event any provision hereof would result in the rate of interest payable hereunder being in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate, the amount of interest required to be paid hereunder shall automatically be reduced to eliminate such excess provided, however, that any subsequent increase in the Maximum Permitted Rate shall be retroactively effective to the applicable Redemption Date to the extent permitted by law. Purchaser is entitled to pay for any Milestone Shares purchased pursuant to its Repurchase Option at Purchasers option in cash or by offset against any indebtedness owing to Purchaser, or by a combination of both. Upon exercise of the Repurchase Option and payment of the purchase price in any of the ways described above, Purchaser will become the legal and beneficial owner of the Milestone Shares being repurchased and all rights and interest in or related to the Milestone Shares, and Purchaser will have the right to transfer to its own name the Milestone Shares being repurchased by Purchaser, without further action by Purchaser. The certificate(s) representing the Milestone Shares that have been repurchased by Purchaser will be delivered to Purchaser. It is expressly agreed between the parties that money damages are inadequate to compensate Purchaser for the Milestone Shares and that Purchaser will, upon proper exercise of the Repurchase Option, be entitled to specific enforcement of its rights to purchase and receive said Milestone Shares.
(c) Nature of Repurchase Payments. The repurchase payments set forth in this Section 1.10 shall be general, unsecured obligations of Purchaser.
1.11 Block of Payments. Notwithstanding anything in Section 1.9 and Section 1.10 to the contrary, no payments to Seller in connection with the Put Option or the Call Option may be made until the [***] day after the payment in full in cash of all obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or other obligations that specifically survive termination) under that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February 23, 2018 (as amended, restated or modified from time to time) between Purchaser, the other parties
6
thereto from time to time, and Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and its permitted successors and assigns (the Senior Lender). For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts owed but not paid under Section 1.9 or 1.10 shall be considered owed and accruing until paid in full, but shall not be permitted to be paid until the conditions specified in the immediately preceding sentence are satisfied. Sections 1.9, 1.10 and 1.11 cannot be amended or modified without the written consent of the Senior Lender. The Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that (x) the Senior Lender is an express third party beneficiary of this Section 1.11 and can enforce its rights as such express third-party beneficiary to the fullest extent of the law and (y) this Section 1.11 may not be amended without the Senior Lenders prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion.
1.12 No Distributions. Purchaser hereby covenants to Seller that until all amounts owed and owing to Seller under Section 1.9 and 1.10 (which include, for the avoidance of doubt, all amounts that are owed and accruing but not payable due to the effect of Section 1.11) have been paid in full in cash, Purchaser, either directly or indirectly, will not pay any dividends or make any distribution or payment on account of, or redeem, retire or purchase any capital stock, except that (i) Purchaser may convert any of its convertible securities into other securities pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities or otherwise in exchange thereof, and (ii) Purchaser may pay dividends or distributions solely in its common stock, in each case of (i) and (ii) of this paragraph, as long as no payments in cash are made in connection thereto.

(a) Products and Services. Part 2.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedule accurately identifies and describes each Seller Product being designed, developed, manufactured, marketed, distributed, provided, licensed or sold by Seller.
(b) Registered IP; Other Seller IP. Part 2.7(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule accurately identifies: (i) each item of Registered IP in which Seller has or purports to have an ownership interest of any nature (whether exclusively, jointly with another Person, or otherwise); (ii) the jurisdiction in which such item of Registered IP has
11
been registered or filed and the applicable registration or serial number; (iii) any other Person that has an ownership interest in such item of Registered IP and the nature of such ownership interest and (iv) to the extent applicable, all inventors of such item of Registered IP. Seller has provided to Purchaser complete and accurate copies of all applications and approvals to or from any Governmental Body. Each item of Registered IP described in Part 2.7(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule is and at all times has been in compliance with all Legal Requirements and all filings, payments, and other actions required to be made or taken to maintain such item of Registered IP in full force and effect have been made by the applicable deadline. No application for a patent or a copyright, mask work, or trademark registration or any other type of Registered IP filed by or on behalf of Seller that is material to the Sellers business, including the Registered IP listed in Part 2.7(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, has been abandoned, allowed to lapse, withdrawn, disclaimed, cancelled, forfeited, relinquished or rejected, except in the ordinary course of prosecution. Part 2.7(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule accurately identifies and describes each formal action, filing, and payment that must be taken or made on or before the date that is [***] days after the date of this Agreement to maintain such item of Registered IP in full force and effect. No interference, opposition, reissue, reexamination, or other Legal Proceeding is or has been pending or, to Sellers Knowledge, threatened, in which the scope, validity, or enforceability of any Seller IP is being or has been contested or challenged. To Sellers Knowledge, there is no basis for a claim that any Registered IP described in Part 2.7(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule is invalid or unenforceable and no Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights of any third party are dominating, interfering or potentially dominating or interfering with the Registered IP described in Part 2.7(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule. Seller has taken reasonable measures to record and maintain any and all inventions and discoveries that are, in the reasonable discretion and judgment of the Seller, both material to the Business and reasonably likely to be patentable. To Sellers Knowledge, Seller has not engaged in any inequitable or unlawful conduct, patent or copyright misuse, or fraud, or failed to disclose material prior art, in connection with the prosecution of any Registered IP described in Part 2.7(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule or the enforcement or licensing of any such Registered IP, in a manner that would result in the lapse, abandonment, disclaimer, cancellation, forfeiture, relinquishment, invalidity or unenforceability of such Registered IP, and to Sellers Knowledge, no third party has engaged in such activity with respect to such Registered IP. Part 2.7(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule accurately identifies all Seller IP specifically including patents and pending patent applications that is material to Sellers business as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted.
(c) Inbound Licenses. Schedule 1.1(d) accurately identifies: each Contract entered into by Seller pursuant to which any Intellectual Property Right or Intellectual Property, or any contingent right thereto, is or has been licensed, sold, assigned, optioned or otherwise conveyed, granted or provided to Seller (other than (i) agreements between Seller and its employees in Sellers standard form thereof, which form has been provided to Purchaser, and (ii) non¬exclusive licenses to commercially available, off-the-shelf third-party software, on general commercial terms which continue to be widely available on such commercial terms, that are not incorporated into, or distributed with any Seller Product and that are not otherwise material to Sellers business or constitute a Material Contract) (this clause (ii), the OTS Agreements). Complete and correct copies
12
of each such Contract listed in Schedule 1.1(d) (including all amendments, supplements, liens and waivers thereto) have been made available to Purchaser and each such Contract represents the complete agreement and understanding in all material respects between the parties thereto relating to the Seller IP that is the subject of such Contract.

Seller is not bound by, and no Seller IP is subject to, any Contract entered into by Seller containing any covenant or other provision that in any way limits or restricts the ability of Seller to use, exploit, assert, register, prosecute, maintain or enforce any Seller IP anywhere in the world, other than those Contracts to be listed in Schedule 1.1(d). Complete and correct copies of each such Contract listed in Schedule 1.1(d) (including all amendments, supplements, liens and waivers thereto) have been made available to Purchaser and each such Contract represents the complete agreement and understanding in all material respects between the parties thereto relating to the Seller IP that is the subject of such Contract.

To Sellers Knowledge, all Seller IP is valid, subsisting, and enforceable and is currently in compliance with all Legal Requirements (other than any requirement that, if not satisfied, would not result in a revocation, cancellation or lapse, or otherwise adversely affect the enforceability, use or priority of such Seller IP). Seller is not and has never been a member or promoter of, or a contributor to, any industry standards body or similar organization that requires or obligates Seller to grant or offer to any other Person any license or right to any Seller IP. No Governmental Body has any right to (including any step-in or march-in rights with respect to), ownership of, or right to royalties for, or to impose any requirement on the manufacture or commercialization of any Seller Product or any other product incorporating any Seller IP. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except to the extent listed in Part 2.7(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, no invention claimed or covered by any patent application, patent or other patent right within the Seller IP (i) was conceived or reduced to practice in connection with any research activities funded, in whole or in part, by the federal government of the United States or any agency thereof, (ii) is a subject invention as that term is described in 35 U.S.C. § 201(e) or (iii) is otherwise subject to the provisions of the Bayh-Dole Act or any similar Legal Requirement of any other jurisdiction.

To Sellers Knowledge, no material trade secret, proprietary know-how, or other proprietary, non-public information of Seller has been disclosed or authorized to be disclosed to any third party not subject to confidentiality obligations to Seller, and no third party to such a nondisclosure agreement with Seller is in breach or default thereof.
(h) Sufficiency. Except as listed in Part 2.7(h) of the Disclosure Schedule, to the actual knowledge (without any obligation to conduct additional inquiry) of Seller, Seller owns or otherwise has all Intellectual Property Rights needed to conduct Sellers business as currently conducted.
(i) Third-Party Infringement of Seller IP. To Sellers Knowledge, no Person has interfered upon, infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated, and no Person is currently interfering upon, infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating, any Seller IP. Part 2.7(i) of the Disclosure Schedule accurately identifies (and Seller has provided to Purchaser a complete and accurate copy of) each letter or other written or electronic communication or correspondence that has been sent or otherwise delivered by or to Seller or any representative of Seller regarding any actual, alleged, or suspected infringement or misappropriation of any Seller IP.

(a) Quarterly Financial Statements. Prior to the seventh anniversary of this Agreement (the Milestone Period), Seller shall be entitled to the following quarterly information/audit rights:
(i) Within [***] days after the end of each fiscal quarter, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller an unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related statement of income and cash flows of Purchaser (the Performance Milestone Financial Statements), setting forth Purchasers calculation of Xpresys Lung Gross Profit for each calendar month during such quarter, together with reasonable data supporting such calculation, and Purchasers determination of whether the Milestone Event
35
was achieved by the end of such period (the Purchaser Determination). The Performance Milestone Financial Statements and the calculation of gross profit shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied as reflected on Purchasers regularly prepared financial statements.
(ii) Seller shall have [***] days following the delivery of the Performance Milestone Financial Statements (the Review Period), to review and object to the Performance Milestone Financial Statements and Purchasers calculations of Xpresys Lung Gross Profit or the Purchaser Determination. In the event Seller does not object to the contents of the Performance Milestone Financial Statements, Purchasers calculations of Xpresys Lung Gross Profit or the Purchaser Determination prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Purchaser Determination shall be deemed to become the final determination of whether the Performance Milestone was satisfied during such fiscal quarter, subject to any contrary finding in the Annual Milestone Audit (as defined below). In the event Seller objects to the contents of the Performance Milestone Financial Statements or Purchasers calculation of Xpresys Lung Gross Profit or the Purchaser Determination, Seller shall send written notice to Purchaser specifying its objections and the basis therefor, prior to the expiration of the Review Period (an Objection Notice). During the [***] day period following Purchasers receipt of an Objection Notice (the Resolution Period), Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to resolve the differences specified in the Objection Notice.
(iii) In the event after the conclusion of a Resolution Period, the determination of whether the Performance Milestone has been satisfied remains in dispute, the dispute shall be submitted to an independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon, in good faith, in writing by Seller and Purchaser (the Settlement Accountant), within [***] Business Days after expiration of the Resolution Period, as well as any information and documentation reasonably requested by the Settlement Accountant; provided, however, that if the parties cannot mutually agree on the selection of a Settlement Accountant, each of Purchaser and Seller shall select an independent accounting firm who, in turn, shall select a third independent accounting firm to act in as the Settlement Accountant. The conclusions of the Settlement Accountant, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the parties hereto, subject to any contrary determination in an Annual Milestone Audit. All fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountant shall be shared equally between Purchaser and Seller.
(b) Annual Milestone Audit Rights. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller written notice of the issuance of Purchasers annual audit for each fiscal year during the Milestone Period (the Annual Audit Notice) within [***] days of the completion of each such annual audit. During the [***] day period following Sellers receipt of each Annual Audit Notice, upon the written request of Seller, Seller shall have the right to have an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Purchaser be provided access during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior written notice, to such books and records of Purchaser as may be required to verify the accuracy of Purchaser Determinations made during such fiscal year (an Annual Milestone Audit). Any and all records of Purchaser examined by such independent certified public accounting firm shall be deemed to be confidential information of Purchaser. In the event of a dispute with
36
respect to any audit conducted under this Section 5.13, such dispute shall be submitted to a Settlement Accountant and resolved in a manner consistent with the process described in Section 5.13(a)(iii) above.

(d) For purposes of calculating the amount of Damages in connection with any indemnifiable matter, all qualifications and limitations as to materiality and words of similar import set forth in this Agreement will be disregarded.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights or remedies of any Indemnitee against any party, or the liability of any party, for a breach by such party of any provision of any agreement (other than this Agreement) executed and delivered by such party in connection with the Transactions.
7.5 Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding with respect to which any Indemnitee may be entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed pursuant to this Section 7, (a) the Indemnitee shall notify Purchaser or Seller, as applicable (as applicable, the Indemnifying Party), in writing, promptly after the Indemnitee receives written notice of such claim or Legal Proceeding (it being understood that any failure by the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall have no effect on an Indemnitees ability to recover Damages pursuant to this Section 7 to the extent such failure is not prejudicial), (b) the Indemnitee shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding on its own; and (c) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in any defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding. The notice sent to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee shall describe in reasonable detail, to the extent known by the indemnitee, the facts and circumstances with respect to the alleged claim or Legal Proceeding, and include an estimate of the prospective Damages. If the Indemnitee so proceeds as described in this Section 7 with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding: (i) all reasonable fees and expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding shall constitute Damages, subject to the limitations and other provisions in Section 7; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnitee any documents and materials that the Indemnitee determines in good faith may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding; and (iii) the Indemnitee shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Legal Proceeding in good faith; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee settles, adjusts or compromises any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such claim or Legal
41
Proceeding (it being understood that if the Indemnitee requests that the Indemnifying Party consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent).
7.6 Indemnification Claims.
(a) If any Indemnitee has incurred or suffered or claims to have incurred or suffered, or believes that it may incur or suffer, Damages for which it is or may be entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed under this Section 7, such Indemnitee may deliver a notice to the Indemnifying Party (any such notice being referred to as a Notice of Indemnification Claim, and the claim for indemnification, compensation and reimbursement described in such Notice of Indemnification Claim being referred to as an indemnification claim), which shall (i) state that such Indemnitee believes that that there is or has been an inaccuracy in or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or that such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed under this Section 7, (ii) contain a description of the circumstances supporting such Indemnitees belief that there is or has been such an inaccuracy or breach or that such Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed and (iii) contain a good faith, non-binding, preliminary estimate of the aggregate dollar amount of actual and potential Damages that have arisen and may arise as a result of the inaccuracy, breach or other matter referred to in such notice (the aggregate amount of such estimate, as it may be modified by such Indemnitee in good faith from time to time, being referred to as the Claimed Amount).
(b) During the 20-day period commencing upon the delivery by an Indemnitee to the Representative of a Notice of Indemnification Claim (the Dispute Period), the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnitee a written response (the Response Notice) in which the Indemnifying Party: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee; (ii) agrees that part (but not all) of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee; or (iii) asserts that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed by the Indemnifying Party to be owed to the Indemnitee pursuant to the Response Notice (or the entire Claimed Amount, if the Indemnifying Party asserts in the Response Notice that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee) shall be referred to as the Contested Amount (it being understood that the Contested Amount shall be modified from time to time to reflect any good faith and reasonable modifications by the Indemnitee to the Claimed Amount). If a Response Notice is not sent to the Indemnitee prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then, absent any material prejudice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be conclusively and irrevocably deemed to have asserted that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee. If there is a Contested Amount, the Indemnifying Party (on behalf of the Stockholders) and the Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party resolve such dispute in writing, then their resolution of such dispute shall be binding on the Indemnifying Party, Seller, Purchaser, the Stockholders and the other Indemnitees and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to the Indemnitee (the Stipulated Amount) shall be signed by the Indemnitee and the
42
Indemnifying Party. Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller and the Stockholders, on the other hand, in each case as applicable, shall, within 10 days following execution of such settlement agreement, pay the Stipulated Amount to the Indemnitee (which, in the case of Seller or a Stockholder, may be through reduction of the Holdback Shares and/or setoff pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.9).
(c) If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee are unable to resolve the dispute relating to any Contested Amount during the 30-day period commencing upon the delivery of the Response Notice, then either the Indemnitee or the Indemnifying Party may submit the contested portion of the indemnification claim to the court in accordance with Section 7. The final award setting forth the aggregate amount owed to the Indemnitee shall be referred to as the Award Amount. Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller and the Stockholders, on the other hand, in each case as applicable, shall, within 10 days following the entry by the court of the Award Amount, pay the Award Amount to the Indemnitee; provided, that any payments required to be made by the Seller or the Stockholders in satisfaction of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (other than any inaccuracy in or breach of any Specified Representation) shall first be satisfied by the Purchasers cancellation of Holdback Shares with an aggregate Deemed Value equal to the Award Amount; provided further, that any payments required to be made by the Seller or the Stockholders in satisfaction of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7 may, upon Purchasers election, be satisfied by the Purchasers cancellation of Holdback Shares with an aggregate Deemed Value equal to the Award Amount.
7.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by Seller and Purchaser as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.
7.8 Recovery of Securities. For purposes of this Section 7, including with respect to any Securities redeemed from the Holdback Shares, the deemed value of each share of Purchaser Shares shall be equal to the Deemed Value. Upon determination in accordance with this Agreement that a Purchaser Indemnitee shall recover Securities issued hereunder, such Stockholder shall take all reasonable action requested by Purchaser to effect the transfer or such shares to the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee or the forfeiture of such shares to the Purchaser, at Purchasers discretion, including returning the stock certificate evidencing such shares to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon determination in accordance with this Agreement that a Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to recover Securities issued hereunder, Purchaser shall be entitled to cancel on its books any stock certificate evidencing such shares and, upon such cancellation, such shares shall cease to be outstanding.
7.9 Setoff. In addition to any rights of setoff or other similar rights that Purchaser or any of the Purchaser Indemnitees may have at common law or otherwise, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall have the right to withhold and deduct any sum that is or may be owed to any Purchaser Indemnitee under this Section 7 from the Holdback Shares, Securities and any payments due under Section 1.9 or Section 1.10. Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to Seller, to set-off against the Holdback
43
Shares, Milestone Shares and Securities issuable by Parent or Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and any payments due under Section 1.9 or Section 1.10, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Damages relating to Unresolved Claims for indemnification made by the Purchaser Indemnitees; provided, however, that if the amount of any Damages relating to claims for indemnification made by the Purchaser Indemnitees that is setoff against the Holdback Shares, Securities or any payments due under Section 1.9 or Section 1.10 exceeds the amount by which the payments were reduced for such claim, then, subject to the provisions of this Section 7, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall continue to be entitled to indemnification for the amount of such excess.
SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
8.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees, accounting fees and investment banking fees) that have been incurred or that are incurred by or on behalf of such party in connection with the Transactions.
