(a) At the Closing, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), Buyer shall accept, assume and agree to pay, perform or otherwise discharge on a timely basis, as the case may be, only the Assumed Liabilities. “Assumed Liabilities” means (i) the Assumed Payment Obligations and (ii) all Liabilities under the Assumed Contracts arising after the Closing Date (but excluding any Liabilities related to a breach, non-performance or default by Seller under the Assumed Contracts occurring prior to or on the Closing Date (unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement) and excluding Liabilities of the parties thereto that are not Seller).

(b) If any claim arises or occurs against Buyer with respect to any of the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall have, and Seller hereby assigns to Buyer, any defense, counterclaim or right of setoff that would have been available to Seller or the Business if such claim had been asserted against Seller or the Business. The assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities and the transfer of the Assumed Liabilities by Seller shall in no way expand the rights or remedies of any Person against Buyer or Seller or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, stockholders and advisors as compared to the rights and remedies that such Person would have had against such parties had Buyer not assumed the Assumed Liabilities.

(c) At the Closing, Buyer will assume and fully pay, perform or otherwise discharge, on a timely basis (but in no event more than thirty (30) days following the Closing), the outstanding accounts payable of Seller set forth on, and up to the amounts set forth on, Section 2.3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Assumed Trade Payables”). Seller hereby represents and warrants that (i) each of the Assumed Trade Payables represents a bona bide payment obligation to a Third Party; and (ii) each of the pay-off amounts set forth on Section 2.3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule completely and accurately represents the full amount due and owing by Seller to each such Third Party through the Closing Date (including accrued interest). Seller agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain pay-off confirmation letters from each Third Party holding an Assumed Trade Payable in an aggregate amount greater than $25,000.  Seller further agrees that it will comply with the reasonable requests of Buyer with respect to communication, negotiation and disclosures to such Third Parties in connection with the discharge of such Assumed Trade Payables.  In the event that Buyer seeks to resolve any Assumed Trade Payable for an amount less than the amount reflected on Section 2.3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a release from the third party to whom such Assumed Trade Payable is owed that releases Seller and Buyer from the remaining amount of such Assumed Trade Payable; provided that in the event that such Third Party refuses to execute a release in connection with a partial payment of an Assumed Trade Payable, Buyer agrees to remain solely responsible for the payment, performance and otherwise discharge, on a timely basis, of the full amount owed to such Third Party as set forth on Section 2.3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule and to indemnify and hold harmless Seller in respect of, the balance of such Assumed Trade Payable.  The Parties agree and acknowledge that Seller will remain solely liable for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer in respect of, (i) all outstanding accounts payable of Seller that are not listed on Section 2.3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule; and (ii) any amounts that a Third Party alleges it is owed by Seller that are in excess of the respective Assumed Trade Payable amount set forth on Section 2.3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule for such Third Party (except for such amounts solely attributable to delays caused by Buyer’s attempts to negotiate the pay-off amount of such Assumed Trade Payable, including additional accrued interest on such Assumed Trade Payable).

For all purposes hereof, the term “Competitive Business Activity” shall mean directly or indirectly: (i) engaging in, or managing, advising, instructing or directing persons engaged in, any business that creates, designs, develops, manufactures, markets, licenses, distributes, sells, implements, supports or otherwise exploits any service or product which is substitutable for or includes the same or substantially similar functionality (or intended functionality) as the Covered Products; (ii) acquiring or having an ownership interest in any entity that creates, designs, develops, manufactures, markets, licenses, distributes, sells, implements or supports any product or service which is substitutable for or includes the same or substantially similar functionality (or intended functionality) as the Covered Products (except for passive ownership of (A) Buyer or a Successor Entity, as applicable (B) one percent or less of any entity whose securities have been registered under the Securities Act or Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or whose equity securities are listed on any other major national or international stock exchange (a “Public Company”) or (C) one percent or less of any entity other than a Public Company); (iii) participating in any capacity (whether as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, proprietor, partner, officer, director, joint venturer or otherwise) in the financing, operation, management or control of any firm, partnership, corporation, entity or business that creates, designs, develops, manufactures, licenses, markets, distributes, sells, implements or supports any product or service which is substitutable for or includes the same or substantially similar functionality (or intended functionality) as the Covered Products; or (iv) utilizing their knowledge of the Business or their relationships with customers, suppliers or others to (A) engage or facilitate others to engage in any facet of the Business in the Restricted Territory; or (B) induce or encourage such customers, suppliers or others to cease buying from, supplying to or otherwise working with, the Buyer.

(b) During the Restricted Period, Seller and the Restricted Persons shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit (as an employee or contractor) any individual who is known by Seller or such Restricted Person to be an employee or contractor of Buyer or permitted assignees or induce any such individual who is known by Seller or such Restricted Person to be an employee or contractor of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or permitted assignees to terminate such individual’s employment or independent contractor relationship with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or their permitted assignees or successors.

(c) Neither Seller nor any of its officers or members of its Board of Directors (as currently constituted) shall make, directly or indirectly, any written or oral communications that would reasonably be considered to be disparaging of Buyer in any respect, including, but not limited to, communications with respect to Buyer’s business, technology, products, prospects, executives, officers, directors, former executives, consultants, contractors or agents. Nothing in this Section 5.5(c) shall preclude the giving of truthful testimony in any deposition or judicial or administrative proceeding.  Moreover, nothing in this Section 5.5(c) applies to communications made to immediate family members of Seller’s officers or Board of Directors (provided that such family members do not use such communications for purposes of making disparaging comments or communications about Buyer), or communications by authorized representatives of Seller to Seller’s attorneys, or to pleadings or other documents in any proceeding to enforce this Agreement

(d) Neither Buyer nor any of its officers, members of its Board of Directors or Affiliates shall make, directly or indirectly, any written or oral communications that would reasonably be considered to be disparaging of Seller in any respect, including, but not limited to, communications with respect to Seller’s executives, officers, directors, former executives, consultants, contractors or agents.  Nothing in this Section 5.5(d) shall preclude the giving of truthful testimony in any deposition or judicial or administrative proceeding.  Moreover, nothing in this Section 5.5(d) applies to communications made to immediate family members of Buyer’s officers or Board of Directors (provided that such family members do not use such communications for purposes of making disparaging comments or communications about Seller), or communications by authorized representatives of Buyer to Buyer’s attorneys, or to pleadings or other documents in any proceeding to enforce this Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 5.5(d) will prevent Buyer from making public disclosures which, based on the advice of Buyer’s legal counsel, are required to be made pursuant to applicable securities laws.

(e) Seller and Buyer recognize that the Laws and public policies of various countries, states, cities or other political subdivisions may differ as to the validity and enforceability of covenants similar to those set forth in this Section 5.5. The covenants contained in this Section 5.5 shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each country, province, state, city or other political subdivision. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in this Section 5.5. It is the intention of the Parties that the provisions of this Section 5.5 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement may be sought, and that the unenforceability (or the modification to conform to such Laws or policies) of any provision of this Section 5.5 (or part thereof) shall not render unenforceable, or impair, any other provision of this Section 5.5. Seller, on behalf of itself and its Representatives and the Restricted Persons, expressly authorizes the enforcement of the covenants set forth in this Section 5.5 by Buyer and any Affiliates of Buyer, the permitted assigns of Buyer and any Affiliates of Buyer and any successors of Buyer and any Affiliates of Buyer. If the provisions of this Section 5.5 are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable Law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable Law.

(f) Seller acknowledges that (i) the goodwill associated with the Business prior to the Closing is an integral component of the value of the Business to Buyer and is reflected in the Purchase Consideration, and (ii) each agreement of Seller set forth in this Section 5.5 is necessary to preserve the value of the Business for Buyer following the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller also acknowledges that the limitations of time, geography and scope of activity agreed to in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer, which include the interests of Buyer to protect (A) valuable Confidential Information, (B) substantial relationships with customers, and (C) customer goodwill associated with the ongoing business, because, among other things, (1) Seller and Buyer are engaged in a highly competitive industry, (2) the Competitive Business Activities are substantially similar to the Business and (3) Seller has access to, and is expected to continue to have access to, trade secrets and know-how of the Business.

(g) Seller and Buyer recognize, acknowledge and agree that any remedy at Law for any breach of the provisions of this Section 5.5 would be inadequate. Accordingly, Seller agrees that if Seller breaches, or threatens to breach, any provision of this Section 5.5, Buyer will have available, in addition to any other right or remedy otherwise available, the right to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any such breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any covenant contained in this Section 5.5, in each case without the proof of actual damage or any bond or similar security being posted, in order that the breach or threatened breach of such provisions may be effectively restrained. Seller further agrees that it will not assert as a claim or defense in any Action to enforce any provision hereof that Buyer has or had an adequate remedy at law. No specification in this Section 5.5 of a specific legal or equitable remedy shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition against the pursuit of other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.5.

5.6 Assignment of Rights.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any Acquired Asset, including any Assumed Contract, if such assignment, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach or result in the contravention or cancellation of such Acquired Asset (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until such consent shall have been obtained. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the other party to any such Acquired Asset or any claim, right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to Buyer. In the event consents to the assignment thereof cannot be obtained prior to the Closing, such Nonassignable Assets shall be held, as of and from the Closing Date, by Seller in trust for Buyer and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and in Seller’s name, and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for the account of Buyer. Seller shall take or cause to be taken, at Buyer’s sole cost, such actions in its name or otherwise as Buyer may reasonably request so as to provide Buyer with the benefits of the Nonassignable Assets and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Nonassignable Assets, and Seller shall promptly pay over to Buyer all money or other consideration received by it in respect of all Nonassignable Assets. As of and from the Closing Date, Seller authorizes Buyer, except to the extent prohibited by the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, to perform all the obligations and/or receive all the benefits of Seller under the Nonassignable Assets. Seller shall not modify or amend any Assumed Contract included in the Nonassignable Assets without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(b) The provisions of Section 5.6(a) shall not limit, modify or otherwise affect any representation or warranty of Seller under this Agreement. Accordingly, nothing in Section 5.6(a) shall affect Buyer’s other rights under this Agreement. In the event that it is learned by either Party hereto following the execution and delivery of this Agreement that Section 3.16(a) of the Disclosure Schedule failed to include or describe any additional Intellectual Property, causing the representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 3.16(a) not to be true and correct in all respects as of the date hereof, then (i) such Party shall promptly thereafter notify the other Party, and (ii) Seller shall take such actions as reasonably requested by Buyer in writing to ensure that Buyer is entitled to the same rights with respect to such additional Intellectual Property that Buyer would have enjoyed if such additional Intellectual Property had always been included or described in such applicable Section(s) of the Disclosure Schedule.

5.7 Transferred Worker.

(a) Buyer (or one or more of its permitted assignees) has made an offer to employ the individual listed on Section 5.7 of the Disclosure Schedule as employee of Buyer (or one or more of its permitted assignees) effective upon the Closing. The Seller consents to such individual becoming employed by Buyer (or one or more of its permitted assignees).  Such Individual, if he accepts such offer and commences employment with Buyer (or one or more of its permitted assignees) upon or within 30 days after the Closing, is referred to as the “Transferred Worker” as of the effective day of his employment with Buyer (or its applicable permitted assignees).

(b) Seller shall pay the Transferred Worker any and all compensation and other employment benefits due to such Transferred Worker through the Closing Date, including any payments with respect to paid time off, severance or prior notice of termination.

(c) Buyer shall not assume any Seller Plan or any Liabilities thereunder.

(d) Seller will, at its own expense, give all notices and other information required to be given by Seller or its Affiliates to the Workers, any labor or trade union, works council or any other employee representative body, and any applicable Governmental Entity under the WARN Act, the National Labor Relations Act, the Code and other Laws in connection with the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall require Buyer or its permitted assignees or Affiliates to employ or engage the Transferred Worker on anything other than an at-will basis, terminable at any time with or without cause, except if and to the extent otherwise required by Law.  Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to (1) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any Worker of the Seller or its Affiliates (including any dependent or beneficiary thereof) or any other Person (including any union, works council, or collective bargaining representative or any participant in any Seller Plan (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof)), (2) interfere with the rights of Buyer to amend or terminate any employee benefit plans at any time (to the extent permitted by applicable Law), discharge or discipline the Transferred Worker, or change the terms of employment or engagement of the Transferred Worker (to the extent permitted by applicable Law), or (3) amend any employee benefit plan of Buyer or its permitted assignees or Affiliates.  

5.8 Bulk Sale Filings.  Buyer hereby waives, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, compliance with the “bulk sales” provision of Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code as it is in effect in the states where Seller owns assets to be conveyed to Buyer (or any of its Subsidiaries) hereunder and other similar bulk transfer notice provisions.

5.9 Public Announcements. Seller shall not issue, and Seller shall cause its Affiliates to refrain from issuing, any press release or other public announcement concerning the existence of this Agreement, the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer.

5.10 Distribution.

(a) Before Seller distributes any portion of the Purchase Consideration to any holder of capital stock of Seller, Seller shall either set aside a sufficient amount of the Purchase Consideration or use the proceeds that Seller receives from the Purchase Consideration or otherwise make arrangements to (i) repay all known Liabilities including its Liabilities under Excluded Contracts, but excluding Assumed Liabilities, and (ii) establish adequate reserves for all contingent, conditional or unmatured Liabilities, but excluding Assumed Liabilities, and for Actions that have been made known to Seller or that have not arisen but are reasonably likely to become known or to arise after the date of dissolution, liquidation or wind-up of Seller. Seller further agrees not to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition for at least 90 days following the Closing Date.

(b) Section 5.10 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth (i) an estimated balance sheet of the Seller as of December 31, 2016 (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby) (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) that (A) has been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Financial Statements and (B) represents the Seller’s good faith, best estimate, based on information known to Seller as of December 31, 2016, of the items included therein, (ii) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of Seller that is outstanding as of December 31, 2016, including an itemized list of each component thereof and the Persons to whom such Indebtedness is owed, (iii) a list of all known Liabilities of Seller that are not set forth on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, and (iv) for each Liability referenced on Section 5.10 of the Disclosure Schedule, Seller’s intentions with respect to the discharge of or reservation for such Liability, including the source of funds required for, and the proposed timing of, each such discharge or reservation.

Buyer shall be entitled to retain for its own account any amounts collected pursuant to the foregoing powers, including any amounts payable as interest in respect thereof.

(a) (i) Buyer will, or (ii) if Buyer or its successors sells, assigns or otherwise transfers the rights to a Covered Product to an Affiliate or Third Party, or such Affiliate or Third Party sells, assigns or otherwise transfers the rights to a Covered Product to another Third Party (in each case, a “Successor Entity”), the Successor Entity will, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop and commercialize each of the Covered Products.  Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer or Successor Entity, as applicable, shall, on a semi-annual basis, provide Seller a written report (each, a “Progress Report”), with the first Progress Report being provided to Seller on the last day of the month in which the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date occurs and each subsequent Progress Report to follow every six months thereafter, describing in reasonable detail: (i) Buyer’s, Successor Entity’s, or Third Party (Sub)Licensee’s, as applicable, progress in the development or commercialization of the Covered Products during the preceding six (6) month period (including a summary of total investments, both expense and capital expenditures, in developing and commercializing each Covered Product during such period), all clinical studies completed or then in progress, any material regulatory activities, pre-launch activities and commercial launch of each Covered Product, and (ii) Buyer’s, Successor Entity’s, Third Party (Sub)Licensee’s, as applicable, then-current schedule of forecasted development and commercialization plans for each Covered Product for the following six (6) month period.  All contents of all Progress Reports shall constitute Confidential Information of Buyer or Successor Entity, as applicable, and shall be subject to the confidentiality and non-use provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Buyer agrees and covenants that in the event that Buyer or its successors or any Successor Entity sells, assigns or otherwise transfers the rights to a Covered Product to a Third Party, as a condition to any such sale, assignment or transfer, such Third Party shall enter into a written agreement whereby it assumes all of the obligations of Buyer, Buyer’s successors, or Successor Entity, as applicable, set forth in this Section 5.12 (including the obligations to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop and commercialize each of the Covered Products and to provide the Progress Reports to Seller with respect to the Covered Products) and in Sections 5.16 and 5.17, and shall provide Seller with a written acknowledgment of such written agreement.

For clarity, if more than one Commercialization Milestone Event is achieved in a particular year, all corresponding Commercialization Milestone Payments for each such Commercialization Milestone Event so achieved in such year shall be due and paid as described in Section 5.13(a); however, it is understood that each Commercialization Milestone Payment shall be payable only once upon the first achievement of the applicable Commercialization Milestone Event.

(c) Buyer agrees and covenants that in the event that Buyer or its successors or any Successor Entity sells, assigns or otherwise transfers the rights to the Generic Product to a Third Party, as a condition to any such sale, assignment or transfer, such Third Party shall enter into a written agreement whereby it assumes all of the obligations of Buyer, Buyer’s successors, or Successor Entity, as applicable, set forth in this Sections 5.13 (including the obligations to make the Commercialization Milestone Payments and the reporting obligations set forth in the last sentence of Section 5.13(b)) and in Sections 5.16 and 5.17, and shall provide Seller with written acknowledgment of such written agreement. Buyer shall give Seller written notice promptly after the consummation of such sale assignment or other transfer.  

5.14 Earn-Out Payments.  

(a) During the Generic Earn-Out Period, Buyer or Successor Entity, as applicable, shall pay to Seller in United States dollars earn-out payments (the “Generic Earn-Out Payments”) equal to *** percent (***%) (the “Initial Earn-Out Factor”) of global Net Sales of the Generic Product, provided, however, the Initial Earn-Out Factor shall be reduced from *** percent (***%) to *** percent (***%) for global Net Sales in the European Union if the Generic Product is not the First EMA Generic.  For avoidance of doubt, regardless if the Generic Product is the First EMA Generic or a Following EMA Generic, the Initial Earn-Out Factor shall be *** percent (***%) for any and all Net Sales of the Generic Product anywhere in the ROW.  “Generic Earn-Out Period” means the period commencing upon the date that Buyer or Successor Entity, as applicable, has achieved aggregate global Net Sales of the Generic Product of at least $*** (the “Earn-Out Commencement Date”) and ending upon the earlier of (i) the date that is ten (10) years after the Earn-Out Commencement Date or (ii) the date on which Seller has received an aggregate of $100,000,000 in total Earn-Out Payments from global Net Sales of the Covered Products (the “Earn-Out Cap”). Buyer, Buyer’s successors, or any Successor Entity, as applicable, shall not take or omit to take any action with the intention (or primary purpose) of reducing, delaying or avoiding payment of a Generic Earn-Out Payment.

(b) During the Patented Earn-Out Period, Buyer or Successor Entity, as applicable, shall pay to Seller in United States dollars earn-out payments (the “Patented Earn-Out Payments” and, together with the Generic Earn-Out Payments, collectively, the “Earn-Out Payments”) equal to *** percent (***%) of global Net Sales of the Patented Product.  “Patented Earn-Out Period” means, on a country-by-country basis, a period commencing upon the date that Buyer or Successor Entity, as applicable, has achieved aggregate global Net Sales of the Patented Product of at least $***, and ending, on a country-by-country basis, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the last Valid Claim relating to the Patented Product in such country or (ii) the date on which Seller has received aggregate Earn-Out Payments equal to the Earn-Out Cap.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Buyer or Successor Entity, as applicable, in its discretion, combines the Patented Product with radiotherapy, Earn-Out Payments will be due under this Section 5.14(b) from the global Net Sales of such product.  Buyer, Buyer’s successors, or any Successor Entity, as applicable, shall not take or omit to take any action with the intention (or primary purpose) of reducing, delaying or avoiding payment of a Patented Earn-Out Payment.

(c) The following adjustments shall be made, with respect to the Generic Product, on a country-by-country basis, to the payment obligations described in Section 5.14(a) above.  If, on a county-by-country basis, it is in Buyer’s good faith opinion necessary for Buyer to license one or more patents (“IP Rights”) from one or more Third Parties to research, develop, have developed, make, have made, use, have used, offer for sale, have offered for sale, sell, have sold, import, have imported or otherwise exploit or commercialize the Generic Product in such country, then Buyer may, in its sole discretion, negotiate and obtain a license under such IP Right(s) (each such Third Party license referred to herein as an “Additional Third Party Generic License”).  The portion of any Generic Earn-Out Payment associated with Net Sales in a country whereby the Buyer obtained an Additional Third Party Generic License in such country shall be reduced by the amount of royalties (the “ATPGL Royalties”) Buyer paid for such Additional Third Party Generic License.  For the avoidance of doubt, any ATPGL Royalties Buyer pays for an Additional Third Party Generic License may only be deducted from a Generic Earn-Out Payment once.  Subject to the foregoing, Buyer or Successor Entity, as applicable, may carry over and apply any ATPGL Royalties that are paid for in a calendar quarter, but are not applied against a Generic Earn-Out Payment in such calendar quarter, to any subsequent calendar quarter(s), provided that Buyer shall apply any available ATPGL Royalties at the first opportunity to do so (i.e., the Buyer will not hold ATPGL Royalties in reserve and carry them over to subsequent calendar quarters when they could otherwise have been applied to reduce Generic Earn-Out Payments then due).

(e) After the first commercial sale of a Covered Product and through the later of the expiration of the Patented Earn-Out Period or Generic Earn-Out Period, Buyer or Successor Entity, as applicable, shall furnish to Seller a written report, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter (or portion thereof if the Earn-Out Period terminates during a calendar quarter), reporting (i) the amount of gross sales of the Covered Products (on a Covered Product-by-Covered Product, country-by-country and sales region-by-sales region basis), (ii) the amount of global Net Sales of the Covered Products (on a Covered Product-by-Covered Product, country-by-country and sales region-by-sales region basis), (iii) the amount of royalties that Buyer paid for any Additional Third Party Generic License and Additional Third Party License (on a Covered Product-by-Covered Product, country-by-country and sales region-by-sales region basis) and (iv) Earn-Out Payments due to Seller for such calendar quarter (or portion thereof).

(f) Buyer agrees and covenants that in the event that Buyer or its successors or any Successor Entity sells assigns or otherwise transfers the rights to a Covered Product to a Third Party, a condition to any such sale assignment or transfer will be that Buyer, Buyer’s successors, or Successor Entity, as applicable, shall enter into a written agreement whereby it assumes all of the obligations of Buyer, Buyer’s successors, or Successor Entity, as applicable, set forth in this Sections 5.14 (including the obligations to make the Earn-Out Payments and the reporting obligations set forth in Section 5.14(e)) and in Sections 5.16 and 5.17, and shall provide Seller with written acknowledgment of such written agreement.

6.6 Recourse to Escrow Shares / Set Off.  

(a) Subject to Section 6.6(b), for so long as the Escrow Agreement is in full force and effect and to the extent that sufficient funds are held in the escrow account governed by the Escrow Agreement, a Buyer Indemnitee shall make a claim first against the Escrowed Shares (with the Escrow Shares to be valued at the volume weighted average closing price of Buyer’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market over the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date that Buyer notifies Seller of the claim for indemnification) or Converted Property (with the Converted Property to be valued as provided in Section 6.6(b)), as applicable, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement for reimbursement of any amount that a Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 6.5(d), and only to the extent that such entitlement is not satisfied from the Escrow Shares or Converted Property, as applicable, will such Buyer Indemnitee be entitled to reduce cash payments otherwise owed by Buyer to Seller under this Agreement or a direct payment as provided in Section 6.5(e).  Escrow Shares and Converted Property will only be available for the satisfaction of claims that are made by a Buyer Indemnitee prior to the expiration of the Initial Survival Period.  Once all such claims made by a Buyer Indemnitee prior to the expiration of the Initial Survival Period have been satisfied or otherwise resolved, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver all remaining Escrow Shares or Converted Property, if any, to Seller.

(b) In the event that the Escrow Shares are converted or exchanged into (i) some other form of property following the Closing Date by virtue of a merger, acquisition or other transaction involving Buyer (e.g., into cash or the equity of a Third Party) or (ii) into cash pursuant to Section 5.22 (such other form of property or cash the “Converted Property”), Seller authorizes the Escrow Agent to hold the Converted Property in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.  For purposes of satisfying an obligation to indemnify a Buyer Indemnitee following the conversion or exchange of Escrow Shares into Converted Property, the Converted Property will be valued as follows: (1) any cash held in escrow will be valued at its face value; (2) if the Converted Property in escrow is not traded on a nationally recognized market or exchange in the United States, such Converted Property will be valued at the corresponding value of the Escrow Shares (determined as of their date of conversion) which were converted or exchanged into such Converted Property (for example, if the value on the date of conversion of one Escrow Share was $2.00, and such Escrow Share was converted into two shares of a Third Party, then, for purposes of satisfying Seller’s indemnification obligations in this ARTICLE 6 the value of each share of the Third Party will be deemed to be $1.00; or (iii) if the Converted Property in escrow is traded on a nationally recognized market or exchange in the United States, such Converted Property will be valued at the volume weighted average closing price of such security on such exchange over the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date that Buyer Indemnitee notifies Seller of the claim for indemnification.  With respect to Converted Property which is utilized to satisfy Seller’s obligations to indemnify a claim brought by a Buyer Indemnitee, such Converted Property will be transferred to Buyer or its assignee, designee or transferee, and Seller agrees to execute all documents, and take all other actions, reasonably necessary to facilitate such transfer.

6.9 Character of Indemnity Payments.  The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any indemnification payments made in accordance with ARTICLE 6 shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Consideration, unless otherwise required by Law (including by a determination of a Tax Authority that, under applicable Law, is not subject to further review or appeal).

Exhibit B

ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT  (“Escrow Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 14, 2017, by and among Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), Azaya Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and Texas Capital Bank, a national banking association (the “Escrow Agent”).

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

a. Purchaser is purchasing certain assets of Seller pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement between the parties dated January 16, 2017 (the “APA”).

B. Pursuant to the terms of the APA, a portion of the purchase consideration to be paid by Purchaser is to be held in escrow for the satisfaction of claims which could potentially arise under the APA, and the parties wish for Escrow Agent to manage the escrowed property.

PROVISIONS

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Appointment.  Purchaser and Seller hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2. Escrow Shares/Escrow Fund.  Upon execution of this Escrow Agreement, Purchaser will deliver to the Escrow Agent Two Hundred Ninety-three Thousand Three hundred Ten (293,310) shares of common stock of Purchaser, which shares will be certificated in Seller’s name (the “Escrow Shares”).  The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Shares and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall release the Escrow Shares to Purchaser or Seller, as appropriate.   To the extent the Escrow Shares are converted into cash in accordance with joint written instructions signed by both Seller and Purchaser, the Escrow Agent shall hold such cash (the “Escrow Deposit”), and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall invest and reinvest the Escrow Deposit and the proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Escrow Fund”) as directed in Section 3.

3. Investment of Fund.  The Escrow Agent is authorized to invest any otherwise uninvested cash in either bank deposits with the Escrow Agent or in any publicly registered money market funds it generally makes available to its escrow customers.  For the purpose of investing cash funds held in escrow, the Escrow Agent may accept and act upon in the case of the Escrow Fund the joint written instructions of the designated representatives of Purchaser and Seller (the “Authorized Representatives”).  The initial Authorized Representatives are set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto.  The parties shall indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from any and all liability for acting on a written investment instruction purported to be given by the Authorized Representatives, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the authenticity of any signatures or instructions or be in any way liable for any unauthorized instruction or for acting on an instruction, whether or not the persons giving the instructions were in fact the Authorized Representatives.  In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable to the parties for any consequential, special or exemplary damages, including but not limited to lost profits, from any case whatsoever arising out of, or in any way connected with acting upon instructions believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to distribution plan payments, shareholder services fees, administrative service fees, "12b-1" fees or similar fees paid by such money market mutual fund companies, distributors or agents.  The parties hereby consent to the Escrow Agent's receipt of such fees and that the interest paid on the Escrow Fund shall be net of such fees.

The Escrow Agent will act upon investment instructions the day that such instructions are received, provided the requests are communicated by 10:00 a.m. Dallas, Texas time.  Instructions received after an applicable investment cutoff deadline will be treated as being received by the Escrow Agent on the next business day, and the Escrow Agent

1

---

 

shall not be liable for any loss arising, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from the inability to invest cash funds on the day the instructions are received.  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss incurred by the actions of third parties or for any loss arising from error, failure, or delay in the making of an investment which is caused by circumstances beyond the Escrow Agent’s reasonable control.  

4. Disposition and Termination.

(a) Disposition.  The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make disbursements of the Escrow Shares or Escrow Fund, as applicable, only as follows:

(ii) as specified in a Final Determination as follows: if there is any question as to any party’s entitlement to the Escrow Shares or Escrow Fund, as applicable, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Escrow Shares or Escrow Fund, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement until (A) receipt of a Joint Notice or (B) the question of such party’s entitlement to the Escrow Shares or Escrow Fund, as applicable, shall have been determined by a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Final Determination”); or

(iii) into the registry of a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 6 or 13, as applicable.

(b) Earnings. All amounts earned with respect to the Escrow Fund (whether interest or otherwise) shall become a part of the Escrow Fund and shall be held under the same terms as the Escrow Deposit initially delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder.  Amounts earned with respect to the Escrow Fund shall be paid at the time of any disbursement hereunder to the party receiving such disbursement in accordance with the applicable provision of Section 4(a).

(c) Termination.  Upon delivery of the Escrow Shares or Escrow Fund, as applicable, by the Escrow Agent, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 which shall survive such termination.  Upon termination of this Escrow Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall execute and deliver the receipt in the form of Schedule 3 attached hereto.

(d) Directions and Instructions.  Where directions or instructions from more than one of the undersigned are required, such directions or instructions may be given by separate instruments of similar tenor.  Any of the undersigned may act hereunder through an agent or attorney-in-fact, provided satisfactory written evidence of authority is first furnished to the Escrow Agent.

5. Escrow Agent.  Purchaser and Seller agree that the following provisions shall control with respect to the rights, duties, liabilities, privileges, and immunities of the Escrow Agent:

(a) The Escrow Agent is not a party to, and is not bound by, or charged with notice of, any agreement out of which this escrow may arise.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE ESCROW AGENT'S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS BE ALTERED BY THE TERMS OF ANY AGREEMENT TO WHICH THE ESCROW AGENT IS NOT A PARTY.  The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification, amendment or revision of this Agreement unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all of the parties hereto.

The aggregate escrow fee is $7,500, payable at the time the parties execute this Escrow Agreement.  In the event the Escrow Funds are held by the Escrow Agent past May __, 2018, the Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to pay the Escrow Agent additional consideration in an amount that the parties mutually agree upon at that time.

Reasonable additional compensation may be charged for time and expenses where services provided are not covered under this fee schedule or where standard fees do not adequately compensate for services provided or costs incurred.

Services include deposit of the Escrow Fund into a publicly registered, “AAA” rated money market fund, safekeeping of securities, monthly statements of all transactions, buy, sell or exchange of securities per written instructions, record keeping of executed trades, income received, disbursements made and monitoring of maturity dates.

Additional Information

Certain mutual funds including money market funds may entitle the bank to distribution plan payments, shareholder service fees, 12 (b)(1) fees, administrative service fees or similar fees paid by such mutual fund companies, distributors or agents. The fee is deducted monthly from the Escrow Fund at an annual rate of .4 of 1% or 40 basis points. Additional information and prospectus are available upon request.

Whenever Texas Capital Bank receives less than 48 hours notice (as defined by receipt of proposed documents) that it is being considered as Escrow agent, an additional set up fee will be charged.

To comply with the government regulations to fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.  For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a Trust or other legal entity we will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity.  We may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

WHEREAS, Individual is a director of Seller and a holder of capital stock and other securities of Seller and has been closely involved in the Business since its inception and, as such, acknowledges and agrees that Individual has obtained, had access to and developed extensive and valuable expertise and proprietary information associated with the Business.  In addition, the reputation and goodwill of Seller associated with the Business and the Acquired Assets are an integral part of Seller’s business success throughout the areas where they conduct the Business.  If Individual deprives Buyer or its Affiliates of any of the goodwill associated with the Business or in any manner uses the proprietary information or reputation and goodwill associated with the Business in competition with Buyer, its Affiliates or the Business, Buyer and its Affiliates will be deprived of the benefits Buyer has bargained for pursuant to this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.  Since Individual has the ability to compete with Buyer and its Affiliates in the operation of the Business, Buyer therefore desires that Individual enter into this Agreement.  

WHEREAS, but for Individual’s entry into this Agreement, Buyer will not effect the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or pay the purchase price contemplated thereby for the Acquired Assets.  

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, as a material inducement to Buyer to execute the Purchase Agreement and to agree to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

2. Term; Effectiveness.  The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Term”).  The effectiveness of this Agreement shall be conditioned upon the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and Individual’s execution of this Agreement is a condition to the Closing.  

3. Covenant Not To Compete.  Individual shall not, at any time during the Term, directly or indirectly, knowingly or intentionally engage in a Competitive Business Activity (as defined below) anywhere in the world (the “Restricted Territory”).  “Competitive Business Activity” shall mean directly or indirectly: (i) engaging in, or managing, advising, instructing or directing persons engaged in, any business that creates, designs, develops, manufactures, markets, licenses, distributes, sells, implements, supports or otherwise exploits any liposomal encapsulation of doxorubicin or Docetaxel; (ii) acquiring or having an ownership interest in any entity that creates, designs, develops, manufactures, markets, licenses, distributes, sells, implements or supports any liposomal encapsulation of doxorubicin or Docetaxel (except for passive ownership of (A) Buyer or its successors or (B) five percent (5%) or less of any other entity); (iii) participating in any capacity (whether as an employee, agent, consultant,

advisor, independent contractor, proprietor, partner, officer, director, joint venturer or otherwise) in the financing, operation, management or control of any firm, partnership, corporation, entity or business that creates, designs, develops, manufactures, licenses, markets, distributes, sells, implements or supports any liposomal encapsulation of doxorubicin or Docetaxel; or (iv) utilizing his knowledge of the Business or his relationships with customers, suppliers or othersto (A) engage or cause others to engage in any facet of the Business in the Restricted Territory; or (B) induce such customers, suppliers or others to cease buying from, supplying to or otherwise working with, the Buyer.  Individual expressly acknowledges that the limitation with respect to the Restricted Territory is reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer, especially given the special information and knowledge held by Individual.  Further, Individual acknowledges that Buyer would not proceed with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement without receiving the full scope of the protections provided for hereunder; and that any lesser geographic restriction would not adequately protect Buyer, its Affiliates and the Business.

4.   Nonsolicitation.  Individual shall not, at any time during the Term, directly or indirectly, either for Individual or for any other person or entity, recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any customer, subscriber, service provider, supplier or other business partner of Buyer or its Affiliates relating to the Business or the Acquired Assets to (a) terminate its arrangement or cease to do business with Buyer as it relates to the Business or the Acquired Assets, or (b) to otherwise materially and adversely change its relationship with Buyer or its Affiliates as it relates to the Business or the Acquired Assets.  Individual shall not, at any time during the Term, directly or indirectly, either for Individual or for any other person or entity, solicit any employee, consultant or independent contractor of Buyer or its Affiliates engaged in the Business to terminate his or her employment or service with Buyer or its Affiliates.  

5. Confidentiality.

(a) Individual recognizes that he has had access to and knowledge of certain information concerning the Business and the Acquired Assets (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), including (i) confidential or proprietary matters including, but not limited to, financial, business, marketing, operations, scientific, technical, economic and engineering information, whether tangible or intangible, including without limitation, patterns, plans, compilations, devices, formulas, designs, prototypes, methods, techniques, processes, procedures, programs, codes, know-how, computer software, databases, product names or marks, marketing materials or programs, plans, specifications, shop-practices, customer lists, supplier lists, engineering and manufacturing information, price lists, costing information, employee and consulting relationship information, accounting and financial data, profit margin, marketing and sales data, strategic plans, trade secrets and all other proprietary information, irrespective of the medium in which such Confidential Information is memorialized or communicated, (ii) confidential or proprietary information concerning other parties to this Agreement or their respective Affiliates furnished or made available in connection with this Agreement or any of the documents and agreements contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (iii) the terms of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  Individual acknowledges that the Confidential Information is valuable, proprietary and confidential and that such parties have paid substantial consideration and incurred substantial costs to acquire or develop such Confidential Information.  Individual agrees that he will treat the Confidential Information as valuable, proprietary and confidential and will not knowingly or intentionally disclose, and will take reasonable measures to prevent the inadvertent or accidental disclosure of, the Confidential Information.  Individual agrees that he will not, at any time, directly or indirectly, knowingly or intentionally disclose, divulge, or make known to any person, use, or otherwise appropriate for his own benefit or the benefit of others any of the Confidential Information, or knowingly or intentionally permit any person to examine or make copies of any documents that contain or are derived from the Confidential Information, without the prior written consent of Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall restrict Individual from disclosing any Confidential Information to the extent that (i) such Confidential Information is or becomes (through no improper action or inaction by Individual) generally available to the public after the Closing, (ii) such disclosure is required by Law, by any Governmental Authority, or by litigation discovery requests, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar processes, or (iii) as necessary to defend or exercise any rights or remedies under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) In the event Individual is requested or required by Law, by any Governmental Authority, or by litigation discovery requests, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar processes, to disclose any of the Confidential Information, Individual agrees to provide Buyer with prompt written notice of such request or requirements so that Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance

with the provisions of this Section 5.  If, in the absence of a protective order or a receipt of a waiver by Buyer under this Agreement, Individual is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information, Individual may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required, without liability to Buyer under this Agreement.

(c) Individual hereby acknowledges and agrees that the prohibitions against disclosure of Confidential Information recited herein are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights or remedies that Buyer may have available pursuant to the Laws of any jurisdiction or at common law to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information, and the enforcement by Buyer of its rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights or available remedies that Buyer may possess at law or equity.

6. Severability of Provisions.  If any covenant set forth in this Agreement is determined by any court to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographic area, or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, such covenant shall be interpreted to extend only for the longest period of time and over the greatest geographic area, and to otherwise have the broadest application as shall be enforceable.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, which shall continue in full force and effect.  Without limiting the foregoing, the covenants contained herein shall be construed as separate covenants, covering their respective subject matters, with respect to each of the separate cities, counties and states of the United States, and each other country, and political subdivision thereof, in which any of the Seller, Buyer or their respective successors now transacts any business.  

7. Injunctive Relief.  Individual acknowledges that (a) the provisions of Section 3, Section 4 and Section 5 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and its Affiliates and the Business, and (b) any violation of Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5 may result in irreparable injury to Buyer, its Affiliates and the Business, the exact amount of which may be difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such violation may not be reasonable or adequate compensation to Buyer for such a violation.  Accordingly, Individual agrees that if Individual violates the provisions of Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual damages.

8. Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications which are required or may be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if given when delivered in person or upon confirmation of receipt when transmitted by facsimile transmission (but only if followed by transmittal by national overnight courier or hand for delivery on the next business day) or on receipt after dispatch by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed, or on the next business day if transmitted by national overnight courier, in each case as follows:

9. Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement constitute the complete, final and exclusive statement of the agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties.  No amendment, supplement, modification, rescission or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.  The parties expressly acknowledge that they have not relied upon any prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, in deciding to enter into this Agreement.

10. Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Buyer may, without such consent, assign all such rights and obligations to an Affiliate of Buyer or to a successor in interest to Buyer, which shall assume all obligations and liabilities hereunder.

11. Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event Individual shall fail to perform any of his obligations under this Agreement, Individual and Buyer hereby agree that all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by the prevailing party in any action at law or suit in equity to enforce this Agreement shall be paid by the non-prevailing party in such action or suit to the extent allowed by applicable law.

12. Choice of Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and the rights of the parties determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas (without reference to any choice of law rules that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction). Buyer and Individual intend to and do hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce this Agreement upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of the covenants contained herein.  If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the provisions of this Agreement wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of Buyer and Individual that such determination not bar or in any way affect the right of Buyer and its Affiliates to the relief provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such covenants, as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, such covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

13. Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each party certifies and acknowledges that (a) such party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, and (b) such party makes this waiver voluntarily.
