LICENSE AND ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS LICENSE AND ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 11, 2022 (the “Execution Date”), by and between JACOBUS PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY, INC., a New Jersey corporation with offices located at IRL Building, 31 Schalks Crossing Road, Plainsboro, NJ (“Jacobus”) and CATALYST PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation with offices located at 355 Alhambra Circle, Suite 801, Coral Gables, FL (“Catalyst”). Jacobus and Catalyst are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

A. Jacobus previously obtained approval from the FDA to market a product containing the Compound (as defined below) under the brand name Ruzurgi^® (“Ruzurgi”) in the United States subject to New Drug Application No. 209321 (the “Ruzurgi NDA”).

B. In a decision of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in that certain litigation between Catalyst and the FDA entitled: Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Xavier Becerra, et. al., No. 20-13922, as to which case Jacobus was an intervenor (the “FDA Litigation”), the Court rejected FDA’s approval of the Ruzurgi NDA, which in effect precluded Jacobus from marketing its Ruzurgi^® product in the United States, following which, on February 1, 2022, the FDA converted the Ruzurgi NDA to a tentative approval thereby removing Ruzurgi from the market in the United States.

C. Jacobus has filed a petition for certiorari seeking review by the United States Supreme Court of the 11th Circuit’s decision in the FDA Litigation (case no. 21-1342) (the “Petition for Certiorari”), which has not yet been determined, although Jacobus acknowledges that it is unlikely that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear its appeal.

D. Catalyst, together with another party, has prosecuted, and Jacobus, together with other parties, has defended, actions for infringement of certain Firdapse Patents (as defined below) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey regarding Ruzurgi (the “Patent Litigations”).

E. Matters related to the Patent Litigations and the FDA Litigation have caused serious financial complications for Jacobus, which will result in the termination of Jacobus’ manufacturing capabilities, and will cause Jacobus to likely fail as a going concern if these disputes are not amicably resolved.

F. In order to settle these disputes, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties (and other parties to the Patent Litigations) are executing a Settlement Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (“Settlement Agreement”), which will settle the Patent Litigations, and the Parties are entering into this Agreement pursuant to which Jacobus will sell, and Catalyst will purchase, the Transferred Assets (as defined below) and Jacobus will grant to Catalyst, and Catalyst will receive, an exclusive license under Licensed IP (as defined below) to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize Products in the Territory (as such capitalized terms are defined below), all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Ancillary Agreements (the “Transactions”).

For clarity, any rights not expressly granted to Catalyst under this Agreement with respect to the Licensed IP and Licensed Products will be retained by Jacobus, including the right under the Licensed IP to develop, manufacture, have manufactured and commercialize the Licensed Product outside the Territory. Furthermore, if a licensee of Jacobus outside the Territory develops a Licensed Product described in clause (b) or (c) of Section 1.49 (definition of “Licensed Product”) for sale outside the Territory and if neither Jacobus nor any of its Affiliates obtains any ownership, license or other ability to grant Catalyst a right or license to Exploit such licensee-developed Licensed Product in the Territory, then Catalyst shall not have the right under this Section 2.12(a) to Exploit such licensee-developed Licensed Product in the Territory; provided that, under no circumstances shall Jacobus, its Affiliates or any of their licensees or sublicensees have the right to Exploit such licensee-developed Licensed Product in the Territory and the restrictions in Section 5.11 shall apply to any such licensee-developed Licensed Product.

(i) Definitions. As used in this Section 2.12(c), the term, “Prosecution” (including, with correlative meaning, to “Prosecute”) means the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Patents including (A) all communication and other interaction with any patent office or patent authority having jurisdiction over a patent application in connection with pre-grant proceedings and (B) post-grant proceedings, including interferences, inter partes review, reexaminations, reissues, oppositions, and the like.

Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Jacobus shall transfer or cause to be transferred to Catalyst or its designee the Prosecution of all Transferred Patents in the United States, including the existing, complete patent files for all patents and patent applications within the Transferred Patents and all other records, filings, documentation and other information related to such Prosecution. Jacobus shall cooperate with Catalyst in the transfer of all Prosecution responsibilities relating to the Transferred Patents at Catalyst’s reasonable request, and Catalyst shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to Prosecute the Transferred Patents on and after the Closing Date at Catalyst’s cost and expense.

(iii) Enforcement of Patent Rights. Each Party will notify the other within 10 days after becoming aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any of the Transferred Patents in the Territory. Catalyst will have the sole right, but not the obligation, to initiate an infringement, misappropriation, or other appropriate suit against such Third Party in the Territory as to any such alleged or threatened infringement (an “Infringement Action”). Jacobus and its Affiliates will provide reasonable cooperation to Catalyst in connection with any such Infringement Action. Catalyst will pay all costs and expenses of such Infringement Action, including attorneys’ fees and court costs and reimbursement of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Jacobus and its Affiliates in rendering assistance requested by Catalyst. If required under applicable Law in order for Catalyst to initiate or maintain such Infringement Action in the Territory, Jacobus will join as a party to such Infringement Action and will execute, and cause its Affiliates to execute, all documents necessary for Catalyst to initiate litigation to prosecute and maintain such Infringement Action. Any recoveries obtained by Catalyst or its Affiliates as a result of any proceeding in connection with an Infringement Action in the Territory will be allocated as follows: (1) first, such recovery will be used to reimburse Catalyst for all out-of-pocket litigation costs in connection with such litigation paid by Catalyst, and then to reimburse out-of-pocket litigation costs paid by Jacobus and its Affiliates (to the extent not previously reimbursed by Catalyst); and (2) second, any remaining portion of such recovery shall be deemed as revenue counting towards Net Sales of the Licensed Products in the Territory and shall be subject to the royalty obligations under this Agreement.

(iv) Infringement of Third Party Rights. If Jacobus or its Affiliates and Catalyst become the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent in the Territory that is owned or controlled by such Third Party due to Catalyst’s manufacture, use, sale or importation of Licensed Product in the Territory, then Jacobus will promptly notify Catalyst within two Business Days after receipt of such claim or assertion and will include in such notice a copy of any summons or complaint (or the equivalent thereof) received regarding the foregoing. Catalyst will be solely responsible for the defense of any such infringement claims brought against Jacobus or its Affiliate and Catalyst (as joint defendants) in the Territory, at Catalyst’s cost and expense; provided that Catalyst will not agree to any settlement, consent to judgment, or other voluntary final disposition in connection with such defense action without prior written consent of Jacobus (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement, consent to judgment, or other voluntary final disposition would (A) result in the admission of any liability or fault on behalf of Jacobus, (B) result in or impose any payment obligations upon Jacobus or any of its Affiliates, or (C) subject Jacobus or any of its Affiliates to an injunction outside the Territory, or otherwise limit the ability of Jacobus or any of its Affiliates to take any actions or refrain from taking any actions outside the Territory, with respect to a Licensed Product, the Licensed IP or the Compound. Catalyst will keep Jacobus informed on the status of such defense action, and Jacobus will have the right, but not the obligation, to participate and be separately represented in such defense action at its sole option and at its own expense.

SECTION 5. COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

5.1 Access; Know-How Confidentiality Agreements.

(a) For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, Catalyst shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, afford to Jacobus and its representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance written notice, to review (and, if necessary and at Jacobus’ sole cost and expense, copy) the Transferred Records to the extent related to the development, manufacturing, commercialization or other Exploitation of the Licensed Products by Jacobus and its Affiliates prior to the Closing or necessary in connection with the performance by Jacobus of its agreements, covenants or obligations or enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, including in connection with Jacobus’ preparation or amendment of tax returns or preparation of financial statements.

(b) If there are any contracts between Jacobus or its Affiliate and Third Parties that are related to Licensed Products in the Territory but are not exclusively related to Licensed Products in the Territory (“Related Contracts”), or if there are any other documents or records owned by Jacobus or its Affiliates that are related to Licensed Products in the Territory but are not exclusively related to Licensed Products in the Territory (“Related Records”), then Jacobus shall use commercially reasonable efforts, on or within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (i) to partially transfer and assign such Related Contracts and Related Records to Catalyst (with respect to subject matter related to Licensed Products in the Territory and not to other subject matter), or (ii) if such partial transfer and assignment is not possible with respect to Related Contracts, to provide Catalyst with an introduction to the applicable counterparty to such Related Contracts and facilitate direct negotiations between Catalyst and such counterparty, or (iii) if such partial transfer and assignment is not possible with respect to Related Records, to permit (if such Related Records are in the possession of Jacobus or its Affiliates) Catalyst to have access to and be provided with copies of the portions of such Related Records that are related to the Licensed Products in the Territory. If any Related Records are in the possession of a licensee, contractor or subcontractor of Jacobus or its Affiliate, then Jacobus shall use commercially reasonable efforts, on or within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, to arrange for Catalyst to have access to and be provided with copies of the portions of such Related Records that are related to the Licensed Products in the Territory. In addition, if any documents or records that are related to the Licensed Products in the Territory are not owned by Jacobus or any of its Affiliates but are owned by and in the possession of any licensees, sublicensee, contractors or subcontractors of Jacobus or its Affiliates, then to the extent that such documents or records would constitute Related Records or Transferred Records if such documents were owned by Jacobus or its Affiliates, Jacobus shall use commercially reasonable efforts, on or within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, to arrange for Catalyst to have access to and be provided with copies of such documents or records that are related to the Licensed Products in the Territory (either the portions thereof if such documents or records would constitute Related Records or the full documents or records that would constitute Transferred Records).

5.2 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

5.3 Cooperation; Transfer. After the Closing Date, Jacobus and Catalyst shall each cooperate with the other Party and its employees, legal counsel, accountants and other representatives and advisers in connection with the steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement; and each of them shall, from time to time after the Closing Date, upon the reasonable request of the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, receipts, acknowledgments, acceptances and assurances as may be reasonably required (without incurring unreimbursed expense) in order to complete the Transactions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

(a) Without limiting the foregoing, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Jacobus shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the winding down of Jacobus’ business operations for the Licensed Product in the United States to transfer to Catalyst all Licensed Know-How that is necessary or reasonably useful and sufficient for Catalyst to manufacture or have manufactured Licensed Product in or for the Territory, including supporting a technical transfer of the CMC components of the United States NDA for Ruzurgi^®, in the possession or control of Jacobus or its Affiliates (including in the possession of Jacobus’ or its Affiliates’ licensees, contractors or subcontractors, including CMOs, and CDMOs, but only to the extent that Jacobus or its Affiliates have title to and the right to transfer such CMC Components), including drug substance, drug product, analytical methods and reference standards. As reasonably requested by Catalyst, Jacobus will provide commercially reasonable technical assistance and support in connection with such Licensed Know-How transfer, including by making its personnel reasonably available to Catalyst (by teleconference, videoconference or in-person) during normal business hours and by responding to Catalyst’s reasonable inquiries with respect thereto.

(b) Without limiting the above, Jacobus shall transfer to Catalyst those Transferred Records and Transferred Contracts that Jacobus is able to deliver or make available electronically within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date and Jacobus shall transfer to Catalyst (i) those Transferred Records and Transferred Contracts that are not available electronically, in hard copy format and (ii) all Transferred Materials, in each case ((i) and (ii)), within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jacobus shall provide copies to Catalyst of all portions of Invention-Related Records that contain information relating or referring to inventions described in the Transferred Patents, including information relating to inventorship thereof (i.e., the portions of Invention-Related Records that constitute Transferred Records), and may take reasonable additional time (beyond 60 days after the Closing Date) to scan, copy and deliver such copies to Catalyst; provided that Jacobus shall (A) retain the originals of all Invention-Related Records in their entirety, and shall not transfer, destroy or otherwise dispose of such original Invention-Related Records without the prior written consent of Catalyst, (B) store all original Invention-Related Records in their entirety in a secure location and in a manner that such records can be quickly and accurately reproduced or delivered to Catalyst when requested by Catalyst, and (C) employ reasonable measures and processes to safeguard the original Invention-Related Records in their entirety against loss, damage and destruction arising from any cause, including theft, fire, flood and electrical disruption. The Parties shall cooperate to mutually agree on an arrangement to transfer all tangible Transferred Assets, including the transportation method and schedule for the tangible Transferred Assets or storage of the tangible Transferred Assets. Jacobus shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses of delivery of all tangible Transferred Assets to Catalyst. For clarity, all electronic Regulatory Filings and databases within the Transferred Assets must be transferred to Catalyst in native format.

(c) If, as of the Closing Date, any Transferred Contract requires consent of the counterparty thereto in order to assign such Transferred Contract to Catalyst (“Consent Agreement”), then Jacobus shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent for a period of sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, provided, that Jacobus shall have no obligation to make any payments to any such counterparty or incur any obligations in respect of any such consent unless such payments are subject to prompt reimbursement by Catalyst or such obligations are assumed by Catalyst hereunder. If Jacobus is unable to obtain the necessary consent to assign any Consent Agreement within such 60-day period, Jacobus shall continue to enforce such Consent Agreement for the benefit of Catalyst for up to six (6) months following Closing Date or if longer, for so long as any ongoing obligations of the counterparty under such Consent Agreement (such as confidentiality obligations) remain in effect and, for clarity, such Consent Agreement will not be transferred and assigned to Catalyst.

5.4 Governmental Filings. After the Execution Date, Jacobus and Catalyst each agree to prepare and file whatever filings, requests or applications are required to be filed with any Governmental Authority in order to consummate the Transactions and to cooperate with one another as reasonably necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Each Party shall bear its own costs of such filings, requests, or applications. Without limiting the foregoing, no later than three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, Jacobus shall: (a) (i) deliver letters (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Catalyst) to the FDA and other applicable Regulatory Authorities in the Territory indicating that the applicable Regulatory Filings (including (1) any INDs owned by Jacobus or its Affiliates for compassionate use of Licensed Product in the Territory, (2) the Ruzurgi NDA, (3) the Orphan Drug Designation for Ruzurgi, and any other Regulatory Filings that require such letters) have been transferred and assigned to Catalyst and that Catalyst is the new owner of such Regulatory Filings, and (ii) deliver to the FDA all other documents required to be delivered by Jacobus by 21 C.F.R. Part 314.72 in connection with such transfer, and (b) provide copies of said letters and documents to Catalyst.

5.5 Regulatory Filings. Catalyst acknowledges and agrees that after transfer to Catalyst of all Regulatory Filings included in the Transferred Assets, it will have sole responsibility for all regulatory reporting and Regulatory Filing maintenance obligations, including for Licensed Product adverse event reporting. Until the transfer of such Regulatory Filings from Jacobus to Catalyst is completed, Catalyst and Jacobus shall give prompt notice to the other Party upon becoming aware of any action by, or notification or other information which it receives (directly or indirectly) from, any Governmental Authority (together with copies of correspondence related thereto), which raises any material concerns regarding the safety or efficacy of the Licensed Product, or indicates or suggests a potential material liability for either Party to Third Parties arising in connection with the Licensed Product in the Territory.

5.6 Audit. [***]

5.7 Transfer Taxes. All sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, conveyance, recording, or other taxes required to consummate the Transactions (other than franchise or income taxes) (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by Jacobus, and Jacobus will be responsible for bearing and paying any and all Transfer Taxes that may become payable in connection with the sale and purchase of, payment for, delivery of, or transfer of title to the Transferred Assets to Catalyst pursuant to this Agreement. Jacobus shall file all necessary tax returns and other documentation required to be filed by it under applicable Law with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, Catalyst will join in the execution of any such tax returns and other documentation. Catalyst and Jacobus shall cooperate in providing each other with any appropriate resale exemption certifications and other similar documentation required to obtain any exemption from (or reduction in) Transfer Taxes, and shall cooperate in taking any commercially reasonable efforts to minimize liability for Transfer Taxes.

5.8 Patent Challenge. After the Execution Date and until expiration of the Royalty Term, Jacobus shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, directly or indirectly, challenge or contest, or assist any other Person to challenge or contest, the validity, patentability or enforceability of any of the Firdapse Patents or Transferred Patents in the Territory.

5.9 Right of Reference. Effective as of the Closing Date, Catalyst hereby grants to Jacobus a right of reference (as defined in 21 C.F.R. §314.3(b) or foreign equivalents thereto in the Territory), with the right to grant further rights of reference solely to Jacobus’ Affiliates or licensees, in and to any and all Regulatory Filings related to Licensed Product that are transferred to Catalyst under this Agreement and maintained by Catalyst, to the extent necessary to obtain or maintain any Marketing Approval of Licensed Product outside the Territory. For clarity, Catalyst shall have no obligation to maintain any of the Licensed Product Regulatory Filings transferred to Catalyst hereunder. Jacobus shall be entitled to retain a copy of the Licensed Product Regulatory Filings transferred to Catalyst hereunder and if Catalyst does not maintain such Regulatory Filings, Catalyst will provide Jacobus a copy of any sequences Catalyst files after the Closing Date for the Firdapse NDA and any INDs for Firdapse.

5.10 Sales or Distribution for Compassionate Use. Upon the Closing, Jacobus shall cease, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective licensees, sublicensees and distributors to cease, all sales and distribution of the Licensed Product for compassionate use in the Territory, including distribution of Licensed Product in the Territory for compassionate use under any IND held by Jacobus or its Affiliate or any investigator-held or physician-held IND. At the request of Jacobus and subject to applicable Law, Catalyst will consider granting permission to continue distribution of Licensed Product for compassionate use in the Territory after the Closing pursuant to investigator-held or physician-held INDs solely for patients who are determined to be intolerant to Firdapse (based on the advice of their physicians after using all reasonable efforts to transition such patients to Firdapse); provided that, Catalyst shall have no obligation to permit such continuing distribution after Closing.

5.11 Non-Competition; Petition for Certiorari. From the Closing Date until the later of (a) the expiration of the Royalty Term or (b) December 31, 2034 (the “Non-Competition Term”), Jacobus and its Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, either on its or their own or with or through any other Person, (i) research, develop, manufacture, commercialize, distribute, use or otherwise Exploit any Competing Product in the Field in the Territory, (ii) participate in the profits from Exploiting any Competing Product in the Field in the Territory, or (iii) indemnify others with respect to any Exploitation of any Competing Product in the Field in the Territory, in each case, without the prior written consent of Catalyst, which consent may be granted or withheld in Catalyst’s discretion. This Section 5.11 shall not prevent Jacobus or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective licensees or sublicensees, directly or indirectly, either on its or their own or with or through any other Person, from researching, developing (excluding clinical development and excluding filing of any Patents) or manufacturing any Competing Product in the Territory solely for Exploitation outside the Territory or from researching, developing or manufacturing any Competing Product outside the Territory for Exploitation outside the Territory; provided that, Jacobus and its Affiliates shall not, and shall ensure that their licensees and sublicensees shall not (through contractual covenants and enforcement of such covenants), directly or indirectly, either on its or their own or with or through any other Person, to conduct any clinical trials of any Competing Product anywhere in the Territory. Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, Jacobus shall withdraw the Petition of Certiorari.

5.12 Patents. After the Closing Date, Jacobus shall not, itself or through an Affiliate or Third Party, file any Patent in the Territory that claims or covers, or is otherwise reasonably necessary or useful for the development, use, manufacture, commercialization or other Exploitation of, any Licensed Product in the Territory without first discussing such proposed Patent with Catalyst and obtaining Catalyst’s prior written consent to file such Patent in the Territory.

5.13 Insurance. Each Party shall maintain, at its own expense, commercial general liability insurance, product liability insurance and other appropriate insurance against liability and other risks associated with its activities relating to the Licensed Products in the Territory, including its indemnification obligations hereunder, with a reputable and financially secure insurance carrier in an amount consistent with sound business practice. Each Party shall maintain such insurance for the period commencing on the Execution Date and ending three (3) years after expiration of the Royalty Term; provided that in the case of Jacobus, in lieu of maintaining such insurance, Jacobus may purchase from a reputable and financially secure insurance carrier a “tail” policy providing coverage for the risks associated with its activities relating to the Licensed Products in the Territory prior to the Closing Date, including its indemnification obligations hereunder, for the period commencing on the Execution Date and ending three (3) years after expiration of the Royalty Term. Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage to the other Party upon request. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create any limit of either Party’s obligations or liabilities with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

5.14 Reasonableness of Covenants. Jacobus acknowledges that Catalyst will invest substantial time and money to acquire and Exploit the Transferred Assets, and the covenants set forth in Sections 5.8, 5.11 and 8.4 are a material part of the agreement between the Parties, are an integral part of the obligations of Jacobus hereunder, are supported by good and adequate consideration, and are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Catalyst, and Catalyst would not consummate the Transactions unless the covenants set forth in such Sections were in full force and effect and constituted a binding and enforceable contract of Jacobus. Jacobus further acknowledges that the duration and geographic territory contained in Section 5.11 are reasonable in all respects and necessary to protect the value of the Transferred Assets and that, without such protection, Catalyst’s or any of its Affiliates’ competitive advantage would be adversely affected. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties agree that: (a) the covenants in Sections 5.8, 5.11 and 8.4 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant will not affect the continuing validity and enforceability of any other covenant; and (b) if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth in Sections 5.8, 5.11 or 8.4 are unreasonable and therefore unenforceable, then the Parties agree that such provision will be enforced to the fullest extent that the court deems reasonable and this Agreement will thereby be reformed.

5.15 Affiliates. For clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) neither Laura R. Jacobus or Richard W. Pursell nor any other shareholder, officer, director or employee of Jacobus or former shareholder, officer, director or employee of Jacobus shall be personally liable, directly or indirectly, for any liability or other obligation of Jacobus under this Agreement, including the indemnification obligations of Jacobus for Damages under Section 7, and (b) no shareholder, officer, director or employee of Catalyst or former shareholder, officer, director or employee of Catalyst shall be personally liable, directly or indirectly, for any liability or other obligation of Catalyst under this Agreement, including the indemnification obligations of Catalyst for Damages under Section 7. For clarity, the foregoing shall not modify or otherwise affect the obligations of the Key Officers to execute and deliver at Closing, and thereafter to be bound by, Non-Competition Agreements in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.

5.16 Quality Agreement. [***]

SECTION 7. INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification by Jacobus. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7, following the Closing, Jacobus shall indemnify, defend (as provided in Section 7.3), and hold harmless Catalyst, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (each a “Catalyst Indemnified Party”) from and against and in respect of any and all Damages to the extent caused by, related to, or arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with any of the following:

(a) any Excluded Liabilities or Excluded Assets;

(b) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Jacobus in this Agreement; or

(c) any breach or nonfulfillment by Jacobus of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement;

provided that Jacobus shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Catalyst Indemnified Party (i) to the extent any Damages are indemnifiable by Catalyst pursuant to Section 7.2 or (ii) for any Damages to the extent caused by, related to, or arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection any Catalyst and SERB Released Claim (as defined in the Settlement Agreement).

7.2 Indemnification by Catalyst. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7, following the Closing, Catalyst shall indemnify, defend (as provided in Section 7.3), and hold harmless Jacobus, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (each a “Jacobus Indemnified Party”) from and against and in respect of any and all Damages to the extent caused by, related to, or arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with any of the following:

(a) any Assumed Liabilities;

(b) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Catalyst in this Agreement; or

provided that Catalyst shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Jacobus Indemnified Party (i) to the extent any Damages are indemnifiable by Jacobus pursuant to Section 7.1 or (ii) for any Damages to the extent caused by, related to, or arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection any Jacobus and PantheRx Released Claim (as defined in the Settlement Agreement).

7.3 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If any Indemnified Party becomes aware of a Third Party claim (including any action or proceeding commenced or threatened to be commenced by any Third Party) that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes may give rise to the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section 7 (any such claim, a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third-Party Claim (such notice, the “Claim Notice”). The Claim Notice shall be accompanied by copies of any relevant and material documentation submitted by the Third Party making such Third-Party Claim and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third-Party Claim and the amount of the claimed Damages; provided that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in delivering a Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability hereunder except and only to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such delay or failure.

(b) Within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of any Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of the Third-Party Claim referred to therein at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or control the investigation, defense or prosecution of such Third-Party Claim if (i) a material portion of the Damages associated with such Third-Party Claim are not reasonably expected to be indemnifiable hereunder, (ii) at the time of assumption or thereafter, the Indemnifying Party fails to conduct the investigation, defense or prosecution actively and diligently, or (iii) such Third-Party Claim seeks non-monetary, equitable or injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party or alleges any violation of Law by the Indemnified Party; and in each such case ((i), (ii) or (iii)), the Indemnified Party may assume control of its defense.

(c) The Party not controlling the defense of such Third-Party Claim (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have materially conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third-Party Claim which cause the Indemnified Party to hire its own separate counsel with respect to such proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement. The Party controlling the defense of such Third-Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised, in writing, of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third-Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such Party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party, as reasonably requested by the Controlling Party, in the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required with respect to any such settlement or judgment if (i) such settlement or judgment (A) involves no admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary Damages, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay or cause to be paid any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives from further liability. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit liability with respect to, or agree to any settlement of or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the consent of the Indemnifying Party shall not be required with respect to any such settlement or judgment if the Indemnified Party agrees in writing to pay or cause to be paid any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and that no Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement in respect of such settlement or judgment. Furthermore, a Party’s consent to any settlement of a Third-Party Claim shall not be used as evidence of the truth of the allegations in any Third-Party Claim or the merits of such Third-Party Claim and the existence of any Third-Party Claim shall not create a presumption of any breach by a Party to this Agreement of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

7.4 Indemnification Not Involving Third-Party Claims.

(a) In order to seek indemnification under this Section 7 for a claim that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Demand”) to the Indemnifying Party which contains (i) a summary, in reasonable detail, of the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim and the amount of Damages actually incurred and, to the extent the Damages have not yet been incurred, a good faith, non-binding estimate of the amount of Damages that are reasonably expected to be incurred (to the extent then known), and (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 (as the case may be) for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor (to the extent then known).

(b) Upon reasonable request, the Indemnified Party shall furnish the Indemnifying Party with any information to the extent that such information is reasonably necessary in order to evaluate the Indemnification Demand. If the Indemnifying Party in good faith objects to any claim made by the Indemnified Party in the Indemnification Demand, then the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Party within forty-five (45) days following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of an Indemnification Demand from such Indemnified Party. The Indemnification Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by the Indemnified Party in the Indemnification Demand. If the Indemnifying Party fails to deliver an Indemnification Dispute Notice prior to the expiration of such 45-day period, then the indemnity claim set forth in the Indemnification Demand shall be conclusively determined in the Indemnified Party’s favor for purposes of this Section 7, and, subject to the limitations in Section 7.5, the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for the amount of the Damages stated in such Indemnification Demand (or, in the case of any notice in which the Damages (or any portion thereof) are estimated, the amount of such Damages (or such portion thereof) as finally determined) on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the Damages (or any portion thereof) are estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Damages (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party timely delivers an Indemnification Dispute Notice, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by the Indemnifying Party in such Indemnification Dispute Notice. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth such resolution shall be prepared and signed by both Parties, and shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties hereto.

(d) If no such resolution can be reached during the 45-day period following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of a given Indemnification Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45-day period (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed by the Parties in writing), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available to it under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity with respect to such claims (in each case subject to the terms and limitations set forth in this Agreement).

7.5 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) Except for Damages based on fraud or willful breach, Jacobus’ aggregate liability for Damages from indemnification claims under this Section 7 shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(b) In calculating the amount of indemnification payable to an Indemnified Party, the amount of the Damages claimed by the Indemnified Party (i) shall not be duplicative of any other Damage for which an indemnification claim has been made, and (ii) shall be computed net of any amounts actually recovered by such Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Damage.

(c) Each Indemnified Party shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate to the fullest extent practicable the amount of any Damage for which it is entitled to seek indemnification hereunder.

(d) In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from a Third Party any amount in respect of any Damages with respect to which an Indemnifying Party has indemnified it pursuant to this Section 7, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such Damages and (ii) any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such Damages.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any Knowledge Party of a Party has, as of the Closing Date, any actual knowledge (without any duty of inquiry) of any fact, event or circumstance which constitutes a breach by the other Party of any of such other Party’s representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement, then such fact, event or circumstance cannot be asserted by the Party whose Knowledge Party has such knowledge as a basis for any indemnification claim against the other Party under this Section 7.

(f) NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES, LOSSES BASED UPON LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS, DIMINUTION OF VALUE, MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS, PROFITS OR CASH FLOW OR SIMILAR MEASURES, HOWEVER CAUSED OR ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OR THEREOF OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED BY AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT ANY PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 7.5 SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT (A) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS SECTION 7 WITH RESPECT TO THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS, (B) EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR BREACHES OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 8, OR (C) JACOBUS’ LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF SECTION 5.11.

7.6 Survival and Expiration of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a) The representations and warranties made by each of Jacobus and Catalyst in Section 3 and Section 4, respectively, shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, except that, the representations and warranties of Jacobus set forth in Sections 3.1 (Organization and Standing), 3.2 (Ownership; Liens; Sufficiency of Assets; Right to License), 3.3 (Power and Authority; Consents), 3.4 (Corporate Action; Binding Effect), 3.5 (Intellectual Property), and 3.9 (Brokers and Finders) shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date (the date of expiration of such 12-month period or 24-month period, as applicable, an “Expiration Date”). If Catalyst or Jacobus delivers to the other Party, before the applicable Expiration Date, either a Claim Notice or an Indemnification Demand based upon a breach of a representation or warranty in Section 3 or Section 4, then such claim and associated representation and warranty and right to indemnification (including any right to pursue such indemnification hereunder) will not terminate, and shall survive until (but only for purposes of) the resolution and final determination of such claim covered by such Claim Notice or Indemnification Demand.

(b) Each covenant and agreement in this Agreement, and all associated rights to indemnification (including any right to pursue such indemnification hereunder), will survive the Closing and will continue in full force thereafter, without limitation as to time, until fully performed in accordance with its terms or until the date that is ninety (90) days past the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period relating to such covenant or agreement. Any claims based on fraud will survive the Closing indefinitely.

7.7 Right of Set off. If a Third Party makes a Third-Party Claim against any Catalyst Indemnified Party, then, at any time that Catalyst incurs or otherwise suffers Damages (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other professionals and experts if Jacobus (as the Indemnifying Party) fails to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim for any reason or if Catalyst (as the Indemnified Party) assumes control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 7.3(b)), Catalyst may set off the amount of the Damages incurred or otherwise suffered by Catalyst in connection with such Third-Party Claim against Royalty Payments and any portion of the Purchase Price which has not been paid to Jacobus in accordance with this Agreement. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure to exercise, such right of set off shall constitute an election of remedies or limit Catalyst in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to Catalyst.

7.8 Construction. For purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred in connection with a claim for indemnification under this Section 7, each of the representations and warranties that contains any qualifications as to “materiality” shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualifications.

SECTION 8. CONFIDENTIALITY

8.1 Confidential Information. Except as expressly provided herein, the Parties agree that the receiving Party of Confidential Information shall not, directly or indirectly, publish or otherwise disclose to any Third Party and shall not use for any purpose at any time any Confidential Information (whether or not such information is or was developed by any of them), except to the extent permitted under this Section 8. The receiving Party shall take commercially reasonable steps to maintain the Confidential Information as strictly confidential and to safeguard such Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. The Parties agree that Confidential Information is not deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of the information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components or combinations are now, or become, known to the public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that, in each case as demonstrated by written documentation:

(a) was already known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure, other than under an obligation of confidentiality;

(b) was available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving Party;

(c) became available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; or

(d) was disclosed to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a Third Party who had no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party or any other Third Party.

8.2 Permitted Use and Disclosures. Notwithstanding Section 8.1, each receiving Party may use or disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing Party only to the extent such use or disclosure is reasonably necessary (a) in the exercise of its rights or performance of its obligations hereunder, or (b) in prosecuting or defending litigation, prosecuting Patents, complying with applicable Laws or otherwise submitting information to Tax or other Governmental Authorities. The receiving Party may disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only to the receiving Party’s and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, subcontractors, consultants or contractors (collectively, “Representatives”), who have a need-to-know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, provided that the receiving Party shall hold all Representatives to written obligations of confidentiality with terms and conditions at least as protective of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as those set forth in this Agreement. Catalyst shall have the right to disclose the Confidential Information of Jacobus and both Parties shall have the right to disclose the terms of this Agreement to its actual or prospective collaborators, licensees, sublicensees, underwriters, investors, advisors, lenders, or other financing sources or to strategic partners, and who in each case have a need to know such Confidential Information or terms of this Agreement and who are bound by reasonable obligations of confidentiality and restrictions on non-use. In addition, Jacobus shall have the right to disclose Transferred Assets-related Confidential Information that is transferred by Jacobus to Catalyst hereunder to Jacobus’ actual or prospective collaborators, licensees, sublicensees or strategic partners, who in each case have a need to know such Confidential Information in connection with Exploitation of Licensed Product, Compound or Licensed IP outside the Territory and who are bound by reasonable obligations of confidentiality and restrictions on non-use. Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall prevent or restrict the use or disclosure by Jacobus and its Affiliates of any Confidential Information of Jacobus or the Licensed IP to develop, manufacture, have manufactured, commercialize or otherwise Exploit Products outside the Territory.

8.3 Required Disclosure.

(a) If the receiving Party is required to disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing Party under applicable Law or a court order, the receiving Party shall: (i) provide the disclosing Party with prompt notice of such disclosure requirement if legally permitted, (ii) afford the disclosing Party an opportunity to oppose or limit, or use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment for, such required disclosure and (iii) if the disclosing Party is unsuccessful in its efforts pursuant to subsection (ii), disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that the receiving Party is legally required to disclose. The confidentiality and non-use obligations of the receiving Party applicable to such Confidential Information shall continue to apply in all other respects.

(b) Each Party may disclose this Agreement and its terms, in securities filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any equivalent Governmental Authority to the extent required by applicable Law after complying with the procedure set forth in this Section 8.3(b). The Party seeking such disclosure shall prepare and provide to the other Party a proposed redacted version of this Agreement to request confidential treatment for the redacted portions of this Agreement, and the other Party shall promptly (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such proposed redactions) give its input in a reasonable manner in order to allow the Party seeking disclosure to file its request within the time lines prescribed by applicable Law. The Party seeking such disclosure shall consider any reasonable comments thereto provided by the other Party within such three (3)-Business Day period.

8.4 Transferred Assets Confidential Information. At all times from and after the Closing, Jacobus shall safeguard and hold all Confidential Information related to the Transferred Assets and Licensed Products in the Territory, including the Licensed Know-How, in strict confidence, and shall not, directly or indirectly in any capacity communicate, reveal, report, publish, disclose or transfer any such Confidential Information to any Person (other than Catalyst or its Affiliates) or use any such Confidential Information in any manner or for the benefit of any Person (other than Catalyst or its Affiliates); provided that Jacobus may disclose such Confidential Information: (a) with Catalyst’s prior written consent or following Catalyst’s public disclosure of such Confidential Information; (b) to a financial advisor or accountant who is subject to an obligation of confidence, solely for the purpose of obtaining advice or services from such Person pertaining to Jacobus’s Tax returns or other Tax obligations; or (c) to the extent the disclosure is permitted under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3.

8.5 Public Announcements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC or other stock exchange upon which the securities of a Party is listed, from and after the Execution Date, no press release or similar public announcement or communication shall be made or caused to be made by either Party or any of its Affiliates relating to this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Parties will issue press releases, in each case that are approved by mutual agreement of the Parties, announcing (a) the execution of this Agreement and (b) the Closing of the Transactions. For clarity, Catalyst may issue such press releases, public announcements or communications or make such SEC filings as it determines are reasonably necessary to comply with disclosure requirements of the SEC.

8.6 Prior Confidentiality Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that Catalyst and Jacobus previously entered into the Confidentiality Agreement. The Parties agree this Agreement supersedes the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to information disclosed thereunder. All information exchanged between the Parties under the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information and shall be subject to the terms of this Section 8.

8.7 Survival. The receiving Party’s obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to any Confidential Information set forth in this Section 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of seven (7) years thereafter; provided that such obligations with respect to any Confidential Information comprising a Trade Secret of the disclosing Party shall survive and continue for as long as such Confidential Information qualifies as a Trade Secret of the disclosing Party under applicable Law.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

9.1 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any nonperformance or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent such failure is attributable to acts or events (including acts of God, war, terrorist activities, conditions or events of nature, industry wide supply shortages, civil disturbances, embargo, work stoppage, power failures, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemic, pandemic (other than COVID-19), unavailability of supplies, materials or transportation, or any applicable Law or decision, order or judgment of any Governmental Authority), and in general any other cause or condition beyond its reasonable control which impair or prevent in whole or in part performance by such Party hereunder; provided that the payment of amounts due and owing hereunder shall not be excused or delayed as a result of any force majeure act or event. In the event that a Party is unable to perform its duties and obligations hereunder as a result of an event of force majeure, as described in the first sentence of this Section 9.1, the affected Party shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, give notice of the occurrence of such event to the other Party and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resume the performance at the earliest reasonably practicable date.

9.2 Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by an authorized representative of each Party.

9.3 Expenses. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses.

9.4 Waiver.

(a) No failure on the part of a Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of a Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.

(b) No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, Updated Disclosure Schedule, Ancillary Agreements and the Settlement Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to such subject matter, including the Confidentiality Agreement which is superseded hereby.

9.6 Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. In the event of any dispute or controversy arising under or related to this Agreement that is not resolved amicably through good faith discussion, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (a) arising under this Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or the Transactions, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. Each Party hereby further agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the Parties may file a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

9.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by Jacobus or Catalyst without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any such rights or obligations without such consent shall be void and of no effect; provided that (a) either Party may assign this Agreement or any such rights or obligations to an Affiliate without the prior written consent of the other Party, and (b) either Party may assign this Agreement as a whole without the consent of the other Party, to a successor in connection with the acquisition (whether by merger, consolidation, sale or otherwise) of such Party or of that part of such Party’s business to which this Agreement relates. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

9.8 Third Party Beneficiaries.

9.10 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement, or remaining portion thereof, shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party hereto. Upon such determination that any such term or other provision, or any portion thereof, is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are consummated to the fullest extent possible.

9.11 Specific Performance; Non-Exclusive Remedies. Each Party agrees that this Agreement is intended to be legally binding and specifically enforceable pursuant to its terms and that Catalyst and Jacobus would be irreparably harmed if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that monetary damages would not provide adequate remedy in such event. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy to which a non-breaching Party may be entitled at Law, a non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, in each case without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by applicable Law or otherwise available.

9.12 Construction.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders.

(b) The Parties agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

(c) As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(d) the term “or” will be interpreted in the inclusive sense commonly associated with the term “and/or.”

(e) Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections,” “Exhibits” and “Schedules” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement.

(f) The bold-faced headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement and shall not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

(g) As used in this Agreement, the word “day” will mean calendar day unless Business Day is specified.

9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each of the signatories to this Agreement may execute this Agreement in Adobe^™ Portable Document Format (PDF) sent by electronic mail or by other electronic means.
