EXHIBIT A

REVENUE RIGHTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This REVENUE RIGHTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of April 27, 2014 (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into between Forest Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Forest”), and RPI Finance Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Buyer”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Forest desires to acquire Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Furiex”), and, in furtherance of such desire, intends to cause a newly-formed transaction subsidiary (“Transaction Sub”) to merge with and into Furiex, with Furiex as the surviving corporation (the “Merger” and the surviving entity in such Merger, the “Seller”); the Seller and Furiex’s subsidiaries, Development Partners, GenuPro and APBI, are collectively referred to as the “Transferors”;

WHEREAS, Furiex (as successor to PPD, Inc.) and Development Partners are party to the Takeda License Agreement, GenuPro (as successor to GenuPro, Inc.) is a party to the Priligy® BC License Agreement, and APBI is a party to the Priligy® Xiamen License Contract;

WHEREAS, the Buyer desires to purchase each of the Takeda Purchased Revenue Rights, the Priligy® BC Purchased Revenue Rights and the Priligy® Xiamen Purchased Revenue Rights from the Transferors as promptly as possible following the Merger, and Forest desires to cause the Transferors to sell each of such Purchased Revenue Rights to the Buyer as promptly as possible following the Merger.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Forest and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE, SALE AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE REVENUE RIGHTS

Section 1.1 Purchase, Sale and Assignment. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, (a) Forest shall cause the Seller and Development Partners to, and the Seller and Development Partners shall, sell, transfer, assign and convey to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Seller and Development Partners, free and clear of any liens, all of the Seller’s and Development Partners’ right, title and interest in and to the Takeda Purchased Revenue Rights, (b) Forest shall cause GenuPro to, and GenuPro shall, sell, transfer, assign and convey to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from GenuPro, free and clear of any liens, all of GenuPro’s right, title and interest in and to the Priligy® BC Purchased Revenue Rights, and (c) Forest shall cause APBI to, and APBI shall, sell, transfer, assign and convey to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from APBI, free and clear of any liens, all of APBI’s right, title and interest in and to the Priligy® Xiamen Purchased Revenue Rights.


Section 1.2 Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid to the Transferors for the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Transferors’ right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Revenue Rights to the Buyer is equal to cash in the amount of

(i) $415,000,000;

(ii) less any portion of the Takeda Revenue Stream that has been received by the Seller or Development Partners on or before the Closing Date;

(iii) less any portion of the Priligy® BC Revenue Stream that has been received by GenuPro on or before the Closing Date;

(iv) less any portion of the Priligy® Xiamen Revenue Stream that has been received by APBI on or before the Closing Date;

(such net amount, the “Purchase Price”).

Section 1.3 No Assumed Obligations, Etc. Except for the assumption of liabilities arising out of the ownership of the Takeda Related Assets from and after completion of the Takeda Asset Transfer as provided by Section 5.17(b), the Buyer is purchasing, acquiring and accepting only the Purchased Revenue Rights and is not assuming any liability or obligation of Forest, the Transferors or any of their Affiliates of whatever nature, whether presently in existence or arising or asserted hereafter, under the License Agreements or otherwise. Except for the assumption of liabilities arising out of the ownership of the Takeda Related Assets from and after completion of the Takeda Asset Transfer as provided by Section 5.17(b), the Buyer does not, by the purchase, acquisition and acceptance of the Purchased Revenue Rights purchased, acquired and accepted hereunder, acquire any other contract rights of Forest, the Transferors or any of their Affiliates under the License Agreements or any other assets of the Transferors or any of its Affiliates.

Section 1.4 True Sale. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance contemplated by this Agreement to occur at the Closing constitute a sale of the Purchased Revenue Rights from the Transferors to the Buyer and not a financing transaction, borrowing or loan. Accordingly, the Transferors shall treat the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Purchased Revenue Rights as a sale of an “account” or a “payment intangible” (as appropriate) in accordance with the UCC, and, at each Closing, Forest shall cause the Transferors to, and the Transferors shall, authorize the Buyer to file financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) naming the Transferors as the “Transferors” and the Buyer as the “purchaser” of the Purchased Revenue Rights. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto in this regard, the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance contemplated hereby is held not to be a sale, this Agreement and the Bill of Sale shall constitute a security agreement and, with effect as of the Closing, the Transferors hereby grant a first priority security interest in and to the Purchased Revenue Rights and any “proceeds” thereof (as such term is defined in the UCC), for the benefit of the Buyer to secure payment to the Buyer of amounts equal to the Purchased Revenue Rights as they become due and payable under the License Agreements, and the Transferors hereby authorize the Buyer, from and after the Closing, to file such financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) as may be necessary to perfect such security interest.

Section 5.21 Reimbursement of Lilly Payments. From and after the Closing,

(a) within ten (10) Business Days after receiving a written invoice from Forest setting forth the amount of Lilly Payments owed with respect to the Priligy® Purchased Revenue Rights (accompanied by all supporting documentation (including a copy of the comprehensive royalty report sent to Lilly pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Lilly Agreement) relevant to the calculation of such payment), the Buyer shall reimburse Forest for the amount of such invoiced Lilly Payments.

Any such auditor shall not disclose the Transferors’ confidential information to the Buyer, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the invoices furnished by Forest pursuant to this Section 5.21.

The Buyer shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an overpayment or underpayment to Forest that resulted from a discrepancy in an invoice that Forest provided to the Buyer during the applicable audit period, which underpayment or overpayment was more than five percent (5%) of the amount set forth in such invoice, in which case Forest shall bear the full cost of such audit.
