Documents. Each of the Buyer and the Seller agrees to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to vest in Buyer good, valid and marketable rights and interests in and to the Revenue Participation Right, which is, as of the Closing, free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens created in favor of Buyer on or after the Closing pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (ii) liens for taxes or other government charges arising by operation of law in the ordinary course of business for sums which are not yet due and payable.

(b)    Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate and provide assistance as reasonably requested by the other party, at the expense of such other Party (other than expenses that are Losses subject to indemnification in accordance with Article 7), in connection with any Third Party litigation, arbitration or other Third Party proceeding with respect to the Revenue Participation Right, or the Product Collateral (whether threatened, existing, initiated, or contemplated prior to, on or after the date hereof) to which any party hereto or any of its officers, directors, shareholders, agents or employees is or may become a party or is or may become otherwise directly or indirectly affected or as to which any such Persons have a direct or indirect interests, in each case relating to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Revenue Participation Right or any other Product Collateral, or the transactions described herein or therein.

Section 6.12    Non-Impairment; Back-Up Security Interest(a)    . Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller shall not, and the Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reasonably ensure that any Licensee or Permitted Purchaser, as may be applicable, shall not (i) enter into any contracts or arrangement or otherwise knowingly take any action or knowingly fail to act in a manner that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Buyer’s interest in the Revenue Participation Right or the Back-Up Security Interest, and (ii) take any action or engage in any transaction (or series of actions or transactions), whether by reorganization, transfer of assets, merger, dissolution, amendment of organizational documents or otherwise, the primary purpose of which is to evade, avoid or seek to avoid the performance or observance of the covenants, agreements or obligations of the Seller under the Transaction

Documents (or of a Licensee in any Permitted Out-License or Permitted Purchaser in any definitive agreements for a Permitted Sale, in each case in respect of the Revenue Participation Right, Royalty Payments or of the Product Collateral). During the term of the Agreement, the Seller shall, at all times until its obligations under the Transaction Documents are paid and performed in full, grant in favor of Buyer, and take such additional actions as reasonably requested by Buyer to ensure that Buyer has a valid, continuing, first priority security interest in and to all right, title and interest in, to and under the Revenue Participation Right and the Royalty Payments and a security interest in and to all right, title and interest in, to and under the Product Collateral in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 2.1; provided, the parties agree that the entry into the Loan Documents and any agreement evidencing any secured Indebtedness, which shall be subject to and in compliance with the Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement, shall be deemed to not materially and adversely affect the Buyer’s interest in the Revenue Participation Right or the Back-Up Security Interest.

Section 6.13    Certain Tax Matters(a)    .

(a)    The Seller and the Buyer agree that for Tax purposes, (a) the Seller and the Buyer shall treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale of the Revenue Participation Right and (b) any and all amounts remitted by the Seller to the Buyer after the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as received by the Seller as agent for the Buyer. The Seller shall not, by reason of its duties and functions hereunder, be deemed to be acting as a partner of or to be engaged in a joint venture, association or syndication with, the Buyer for tax purposes. The parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 6.13(a) on any tax return or in any audit or other tax-related administrative or judicial proceeding unless the other party hereto has consented in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such actions. If there is an inquiry by any Governmental Entity of the Buyer or the Seller related to the treatment described in this Section 6.13(a), the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in responding to such inquiry in a reasonable manner which is consistent with this Section 6.13(a).

(b)    Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Buyer and the Seller shall be entitled to withhold and deduct (or cause to be withheld and deducted) from any amount payable under this Agreement to the other party any Tax that the Buyer or the Seller, as applicable, determines that it is required to withhold and deduct under applicable law (as determined by the Buyer and the Seller after consultation with each other), and any such amount withheld and deducted shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as being paid to the other party; provided that each of the Buyer and the Seller shall give the other party prior notice and the opportunity, in good faith, to contest and prevent such withholding and deduction. The Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts and the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give or cause to be given to the other party hereto such assistance and such information concerning the reasons for withholding or deduction (including, in reasonable detail, the method of calculation for the deduction or withholding thereof) as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Buyer or the Seller, as applicable, to claim

exemption therefrom, or credit therefor, or relief (whether at source or by reclaim) therefrom, and, in each case, shall furnish the Buyer or the Seller, as applicable, with proper evidence of the taxes withheld and deducted and remitted to the relevant taxing authority. The Buyer agrees (i) to notify the Seller in writing if (A) the beneficial owner of Royalty Payments becomes ineligible to use or deliver the Form W-8BEN-E delivered to the Seller under Section 5.2(f), or (B) the Form W-8BEN-E delivered to the Seller under Section 5.2(f) ceases to be accurate or complete, and (ii) to provide (to the extent it is legally eligible to do so) any additional Tax forms that the Seller may reasonably request.

Section 6.14    Use of Proceeds. The Seller shall use proceeds received from Buyer pursuant to this Agreement in support of the development of the Intellectual Property Rights and development and Commercialization of all Products.

Section 6.15    Milestone Payments to S*BIO. Pursuant the Asset Purchase Agreement dated April 18, 2012 between S*BIO Pte Ltd. (“S*BIO”) and Seller (the “S*BIO Agreement”), Seller shall elect, in accordance with Seller’s rights under the S*BIO Agreement, to pay [***] of all milestone payments due to S*BIO in the form of Seller’s equity in lieu of any cash payment otherwise owed in respect of all regulatory-based milestones set forth in the S*BIO Agreement as such milestones are constituted as of even date herewith (the aggregate amount of all such obligations subject to payment in equity, the “Equity Amount”). Seller shall not amend the S*BIO Agreement with respect to its ability to make such milestone payments in equity without the prior written consent of Buyer. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, after the date hereof, in the event Seller receives cash in consideration for the sale and issuance of its common stock to a Third Party (the cash raised from the sale of such equity, the “Equity Proceeds”), Seller may apply such cash in lieu of equity to the extent of such Equity Proceeds to pay any Equity Amount owed under the S*BIO Agreement.

Section 7.1    General Indemnity. From and after the Closing:

(a)    the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates and its and their directors, managers, trustees, officers, agents and employees (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of all Losses suffered or incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Seller in this Agreement, and (ii) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements of the Seller in this Agreement; and

(b)    the Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, agents and employees (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of all Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller

Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Buyer in this Agreement, and (ii) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements of the Buyer in this Agreement.

Section 7.2    Notice of Claims. If either a Buyer Indemnified Party, on the one hand, or a Seller Indemnified Party, on the other hand (such Buyer Indemnified Party on the one hand and such Seller Indemnified Party on the other hand being hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnified Party”), has suffered or incurred any Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this ARTICLE 7, the Indemnified Party shall so notify the other party from whom indemnification is sought under this ARTICLE 7 (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly in writing describing such Loss, the amount or estimated amount thereof, if known or reasonably capable of estimation, and the method of computation of such Loss, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. If any claim, action, suit or proceeding is asserted or instituted by or against a Third Party with respect to which an Indemnified Party intends to claim any Loss under this ARTICLE 7, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and tender to the Indemnifying Party the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. A failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice and to tender the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE 7, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.

Section 7.3    Claim Procedures. In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 7.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of such counsel. It is agreed that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its

written consent. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

Section 7.4    Limitations on Liability. Except for claims arising from a breach of confidentiality obligations under ARTICLE 8 or in cases of fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, no party hereto shall be liable for any consequential, punitive, special or incidental damages under this ARTICLE 7 (and no claim for indemnification hereunder shall be asserted) as a result of any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of such party (including under this ARTICLE 7) in or pursuant to this Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) the Buyer’s damages, if any, for any such action or claim will include Losses for Royalty Payments that the Buyer was entitled to receive in respect of its ownership of the Royalty Payments but did not receive timely or at all due to such indemnifiable event and (b) the Buyer shall be entitled to make claims for all such missing or delayed Royalty Payments as Losses hereunder, and such missing or Royalty Payments shall not be deemed consequential, punitive, special, indirect or incidental damages.

Section 7.5    Exclusive Remedy. Except as set forth in Section 10.10, from and after Closing, the rights of the parties hereto pursuant to (and subject to the conditions of) this ARTICLE 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates with respect to any Losses (whether based in contract, tort or otherwise) resulting from or relating to any breach of the representations, warranties covenants and agreements made under this Agreement or any certificate, document or instrument delivered hereunder, and each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, and agrees not to assert after Closing, any other claim or action in respect of any such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct shall not be waived or limited in any way by this ARTICLE 7.

Section 7.6    Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. For all purposes hereunder, any indemnification payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for U.S. federal income tax to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 7.7    Survival. All representations and warranties made herein and in any other Transaction Document, any certificates or in any other writing delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall continue to survive until the expiration or termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE 9.

Section 8.1    Confidentiality. Except as provided in this ARTICLE 8, Section 10.4 or otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, the parties hereto agree that, during the term of this Agreement and for [***] years thereafter, each party (the “Receiving Party”) shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement (which includes the exercise of any rights or the performance of any obligations hereunder) any information furnished to it by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) pursuant to this Agreement (such information, “Confidential Information” of the Disclosing Party), except for that portion of such information that:

(vi)    disclosure to its Affiliates and Representatives on a need-to-know basis, provided that each such recipient of Confidential Information must be bound by contractual or professional obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those imposed upon the parties hereunder prior to any such disclosure;

(vii)    upon the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party;

(viii)    disclosure to its potential investors, and other sources of funding, including debt financing, or potential partners, collaborators or acquirers, and their respective accountants, financial advisors and other professional representatives, provided, that such disclosure shall be made only to the extent customarily required to consummate such investment, financing transaction partnership, collaboration or acquisition and that each recipient of Confidential Information must be bound by customary obligations of confidentiality and non-use prior to any such disclosure;

(ix)    as is necessary in connection with a permitted assignment pursuant to Section 10.3.

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Receiving Party is required to make a disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), it will, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure and use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information. In any event, the Buyer shall not file any patent application based upon or using the Confidential Information of Seller provided hereunder.

(c)    Notwithstanding any provision in in this Agreement to the contrary, materials and documentation relating to the Seller’s Intellectual Property Rights may be only disclosed to or accessed by the Buyer and its attorneys and auditors, without further disclosure to any other Representative of the Buyer.

deemed an assignee of Seller under this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.3 shall restrict the Seller from engaging in a Permitted Sale or from licensing any Product Rights pursuant to a Permitted Out-License. Following the Closing, the Buyer may only assign its obligations or rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate and shall not be entitled to assign any of its obligations and rights under this Agreement to a Third Party without prior written consent of the Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, following the earlier of the date (i) Buyer has made all required Milestone Payments to Seller, or (ii) the obligation of Buyer to make all Milestone Payments has terminated, each, as may be applicable, in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, Buyer may assign, without the consent of Seller, its obligations and rights under this Agreement to any Person, including to any Third Party or to one or more of its Affiliates; provided that the Buyer shall cause such Person to become a party to the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof or enter into an intercreditor agreement with the administrative agent, trustee or representative under the Credit Agreement in form and substance substantially the same as the Intercreditor Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.3 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Lender or the administrative agent, trustee or representative under the Credit Agreement at such time from taking any action permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement or an Other Intercreditor Agreement, including but not limited to commencing or maintaining any Enforcement Action (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or such similar term (as defined in an Other Intercreditor Agreement) or exercising any rights with respect to its collateral under the Bankruptcy Laws.

(b)    No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No course of dealing between the parties hereto shall be effective to amend, modify, supplement or waive any provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.5    Entire Agreement.
