(b)If, on the Closing Date, any such consent, authorization or approval is not obtained, or if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery thereof would constitute a breach or other contravention or a violation of Law, subject to Section 7.6, Seller will, on and after the Closing, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to transfer such Non-Transferable Asset to Buyer.  Prior to having the ability to convey a Non-Transferable Asset as provided in this Section 2.4(b), Seller and Buyer will cooperate and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain a mutually acceptable arrangement under which Buyer (and/or its Affiliates) would, in compliance with Law and the terms of the applicable Non-Transferable Asset, obtain the benefits of, and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with, such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Buyer (and/or its

​

18

​

Affiliates), or under which Seller would (i) enforce for the benefit of Buyer (and/or its Affiliates) any and all of its or their rights against a Third Party (including any Governmental Authority) associated with such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit (collectively, “Third Party Rights”), and (ii) promptly pay to Buyer (and/or its Affiliates), when received, all monies received by it or them under any such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit, and Buyer (and/or its Affiliates) would assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated therewith.  If, notwithstanding Seller’s efforts any consent, authorization or approval is not obtained, Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Buyer with entering into its own arrangements with respect to any Non-Transferable Asset(s) by providing contact information for individuals employed by the applicable counterparty with whom Seller has a relationship and facilitating discussions between Representatives of Buyer and such individuals. Buyer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide to Seller whatever is reasonably required for Seller to meet its or its Affiliates’ obligations on a timely basis in relation to any such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit.

(c)The obligations of Seller under Section 2.4(a) and Section 2.4(b) shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) receipt of the requisite consent, authorization or approval (in which event the applicable Transferred Asset shall be sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred or delivered to Buyer (and/or its Affiliates)), (ii) such time as Buyer enters into its own arrangement with respect to a Non-Transferable Asset and (iii) June 30, 2021.

ARTICLE III

​

PURCHASE PRICE

Section 3.1.Purchase Price.  The consideration for the Transferred Assets shall be (i) an aggregate cash amount equal to the sum of (A) Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($12,500,000) (the “Closing Payment), plus (B) the Milestone Payments, plus (C) the Sales-Based Payments, plus (D) the Initial Sales-Based Payments, plus (E) the [***] (such sum, the “Purchase Price”) and (ii) Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 3.2.Milestone Payments and Sales-Based Payments.

(a)Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller each of the payments set forth below (each a “Milestone Payment” and together, the “Milestone Payments”) following the first achievement of the corresponding event (each a “Milestone”) set forth in Table 3.2(a)(i) and Table 3.2(a)(ii) below.  Each Milestone Payment set forth in this Section 3.2 is payable only once (i.e., the first time the Milestone event is achieved) irrespective of the number of Milestone Products and the times such event is achieved and is non-refundable once paid.  Within twenty (20) Business Days after achievement of a Milestone in respect of which a payment is required to be made under this Agreement (the “Milestone Payment Date”), Buyer shall (i) notify Seller in writing of such achievement (the “Milestone Notice”) and (ii) pay the corresponding Milestone Payment that is due and payable to Seller.  The

​

19

​

Milestone Notice shall include (A) with respect to the Milestones in Table 3.2(a)(i), Buyer’s good faith determination of the amount of Net Sales for the applicable measurement period and the corresponding Milestone Payment, with reasonable details and supporting materials in respect of such calculations set forth in the Milestone Notice, and (B) with respect to the Milestones in Table 3.2(a)(ii), whether or not there exists a Loss of Exclusivity as of the relevant date(s) set forth in such table.  In the event that Buyer fails to pay a Milestone Payment on the Milestone Payment Date, such payment shall accrue interest for the period commencing on the Milestone Payment Date at an annual rate equal to the lesser of: (x) [***] or (y) [***], in each case calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent, compounded monthly (the “Interest Rate”).  In addition, if Buyer fails to pay the Milestone Payment when due, Buyer shall pay to Seller all of Seller’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with efforts to collect such Milestone Payment.

​

​

For purposes of determining whether a Milestone set forth in Table 3.2(a)(i) has been achieved, Net Sales of the Product, the Development Product and any other Milestone Product in a given Calendar Year in the Territory shall be aggregated. The Milestones set forth in Table 3.2(a)(i) are intended to be sequential, such that satisfaction of any numbered Milestone other than 1. shall be deemed to have satisfied all lower numbered Milestones (to the extent not previously satisfied), and Buyer shall be obligated to make Milestone Payments for any such lower numbered Milestone that were not previously paid concurrently with the Milestone Payment for such higher numbered Milestone.  Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, satisfaction of a Milestone at any Net Sales threshold would be deemed to satisfy all Milestones at any lower Net Sales threshold(s) (to the extent not previously satisfied). For the sake of clarity, the aggregate maximum amount payable in Milestone Payments to Seller under this Agreement pursuant to Table 3.2(a)(i) is [***]Dollars ($[***]).

​

​

​

20

​

​

The Milestones set forth in Table 3.2(a)(ii) shall be deemed achieved if, as of the relevant dates set forth in table above, at least one (1) Milestone Product is being sold by or on behalf of Buyer in the U.S. and there is no Loss of Exclusivity for all Milestone Products being sold by or on behalf of Buyer in the U.S. as of such dates. For clarity, as of the date of the first Loss of Exclusivity for a Milestone Product in the U.S., there shall be no further Milestone Payments due in connection with the Milestones listed in Table 3.2(a)(ii) for any Milestone Product.  For the sake of clarity, the aggregate maximum amount payable in Milestone Payments to Seller under this Agreement pursuant to Table 3.2(a)(ii) is [***]Dollars ($[***]).

(b)Sales-Based Payments are payable as follows:

(i)Subject to Section 3.2(b)(iv)-(v), from and after (A) the first day after the Closing Date until the date that is the last day of the month that includes the date that is the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “First Initial Sales-Based Payment Term”), Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to [***]percent ([***]%) of Net Sales of the Milestone Products in the Territory for such twelve-month (12) period, and (B) the first day after the last day of the First Initial Sales-Based Payment Term until the first anniversary of the last day of the First Initial Sales-Based Payment Term (such period, together with the First Initial Sales-Based Payment Term, the “Initial Sales-Based Payment Term”), Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to [***]percent ([***]%) of Net Sales of the Milestone Products in the Territory for such twelve-month (12) period. Each payment described in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 3.2(b)(i) shall be deemed an “Initial Sales-Based Payment”.

(ii)Subject to Section 3.2(b)(iv)-(v), for each twelve (12) month period (or with respect to the last period, such shorter period) commencing with the first day after the date that is the end of the Initial Sales-Based Payment Term until the date that is the later of (x) the last day of the month that includes the date that is eight (8) years from the Closing Date and (y) the date that is the last day of the month that includes the first date on which all Milestone Products have suffered a Loss of Exclusivity in each country in which all Milestone Products are marketed or sold (“Sales-Based Payment Term”), Buyer shall pay to Seller a sales-based payment (each of (A)-(C) below, a “Sales-Based Payment” and collectively, “Sales Based Payments”) set forth in Table 3.2(b)(ii) below, as calculated by multiplying the applicable percentage rate by the corresponding amount of incremental Net Sales of all Milestone Products in the Territory during the first and each successive twelve (12)-month period (or for the last period, such shorter period).

​

​

​

21

​

​

For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall only be required to pay the Initial Sales-Based Payments or the Sales-Based Payments as set forth in this Agreement.

(iii)All Initial Sales-Based Payments and Sales-Based Payments payable to Seller shall be paid by Buyer on a quarterly basis within thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter in which the applicable Net Sales were recorded (each a “Sales-Based Payment Date”).  In the event that Buyer fails to pay an Initial Sales-Based Payments or Sales-Based Payment on the applicable Sales-Based Payment Date, such payment shall accrue interest for the period commencing on the Sales-Based Payment Date at a rate equal to the Interest Rate.

(iv)Loss of Exclusivity.

(1)In the event of a Loss of Exclusivity with respect to a particular Milestone Product (each, an “LOE Milestone Product”) in a particular country in which such LOE Milestone Product is marketed or sold (such country, an “LOE Country”), any Initial Sales-Based Payment and/or Sales-Based Payment allocable to such LOE Milestone Product (and only such LOE Milestone Product) sold in such LOE Country (and only such LOE Country) shall be reduced by Fifty Percent (50%) of the amounts otherwise payable under Section 3.2(b)(i) and Section 3.2(b)(ii), effective as of the first date of the month following the date of such Loss of Exclusivity for such LOE Milestone Product in such LOE Country. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any instance of Loss of Exclusivity for a particular LOE Milestone Product in a particular LOE Country, there shall be no reduction in any Initial Sales-Based Payments and/or Sales-Based Payments for any other Milestone Products in such LOE Country nor shall there be any reduction in any Initial Sales-Based Payments and/or Sales-Based Payments for such LOE Milestone Product in any country other than the applicable LOE Country.

(2)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3.2(b)(ii), for purposes of Section 3.2(b)(ii), the Net Sales of any given Milestone Product in any given country from and after the date that is the later of (x) the last day of the month that includes the date that is eight (8) years from the Closing Date and (y) the date that is the last day of the month that includes the first date on which such Milestone Product has suffered a Loss of Exclusivity in such country, shall be deemed to be reduced to zero (0), and for the avoidance of doubt, no further Initial Sales-Based Payments or Sales-Based Payments will be due on the sales of such Milestone Product in such country as of such date.

(v)Third Party Intellectual Property.

(1)If Buyer believes, in its reasonable discretion, that it is necessary for Buyer to obtain a license from a Third Party to a patent or patent

​

22

​

application in connection with the manufacture, use, sale or other exploitation of a Development Product, and Buyer is required to pay to such Third Party a royalty, milestone payments or other monetary compensation in consideration for the grant or maintenance of such license (“Third Party Compensation”), then for the period during which Buyer owes any Initial Sales-Based Payments or Sales-Based Payments to Seller hereunder with respect to such Development Product, the amounts that would otherwise have been payable as Initial Sales-Based Payments or Sales-Based Payments to Seller under this Agreement shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) of all Third Party Compensation payable by or on behalf of Buyer to such Third Party; provided that, the foregoing royalty reduction shall not act to reduce the Initial Sales-Based Payments or Sales-Based Payments payable by Buyer to less than fifty percent (50%) of the amounts payable by Buyer for a given Calendar Quarter pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

(c)Reporting Obligations.

(i)Buyer shall provide Seller with a quarterly report, within thirty (30) days of the end of each Calendar Quarter beginning with the first full Calendar Quarter after the Closing Date and until the payment of all Milestone Payments and Initial Sales-Based Payments and Sales-Based Payments in full pursuant to this Agreement (each such report, an “Update Report”).  Each Update Report shall (A) describe in reasonable detail the Milestone Product Parties’ commercial progress towards achievement of the Milestone events resulting in each Milestone Payment (including, for the first Calendar Quarter of each Calendar Year until 2031, whether or not there exists a Loss of Exclusivity with respect to the Product), (B) the total amount of Net Sales during the applicable quarter, (C) the calculation of Initial Sales-Based Payments or Sales-Based Payments due for such quarter, including the exchange rates used, if any, (D) if any Loss of Exclusivity has occurred with respect to any Milestone Product in that Calendar Quarter, documents providing the basis for such claim of Loss of Exclusivity, and (E) for each Update Report delivered with respect to the fourth quarter of any applicable Calendar Year, such Update Report shall also include an annual report, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the annual Net Sales for such applicable Calendar Year and an annual forecast for the following Calendar Year that details the Net Sales estimates per quarter, including gross to net sales calculations and assumptions, together with reasonable information and documentation supporting Buyer’s calculations therefor (but excluding, for clarity, any related budget).  In addition, from time to time, but no more than once per Calendar Year, upon Seller’s reasonable request, Buyer shall provide Seller with a reasonable update setting forth a high-level overview of Buyer’s development activities, if any, with respect to the Product and/or the Development Product and/or any other Milestone Product, as applicable, including related regulatory activities.

(ii)If after delivery of an Update Report, Seller requests in writing a meeting with representatives of Buyer to discuss such Update Report, Buyer shall make available in person or by phone for such a meeting appropriate representative(s) involved (including employees of Buyer or its Affiliates who are responsible for managing the business related to the Milestone Products and knowledgeable about its operations) with representatives of Seller.  Unless otherwise agreed by Seller, any such meeting shall occur with fifteen (15) days of the applicable request by Seller.

​

23

​

(iii)Buyer shall permit Seller, by an independent qualified public accounting firm of international reputation engaged by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer (such accounting firm, the “Auditors”), to examine the books and records relating to the Milestone Products at any reasonable time at Buyer’s principal place of business to assess the accuracy of the reports, accountings and payments made by Buyer hereunder.  Such Auditors may be required by Buyer to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement.  The opinion of the Auditors regarding such reports, accountings and payments shall be furnished to Buyer and Seller and shall be Confidential Information of Buyer and binding on the Parties other than in the case of clear error.  If it is determined by the Auditors that additional Milestone Payments, Initial Sales-Based Payments or Sales-Based Payments are owed by Buyer to Seller in respect of any period, Buyer will pay Seller the additional payments, including interest calculated at the Interest Rate in accordance with Section 3.2(a), owed to Seller within thirty (30) days of the date the written report of the Auditors is received by Buyer.  If it is determined by the Auditors that Milestone Payments, Initial Sales-Based Payments or Sales-Based Payments were overpaid during any period, Buyer will credit such overpayments to future Milestone Payments, Initial Sales-Based Payments or Sales-Based Payments, as applicable, owed to Seller.  The fees charged by the Auditors in connection with this Section 3.2(c) will be paid by Seller, unless any additional Milestone Payments, Initial Sales-Based Payments or Sales-Based Payments owed by Buyer to Seller exceed $50,000 of the amounts paid for the period subject to such audit, in which case Buyer will pay the fees charged by the Auditors.  No period, once audited, may be re-audited by or on behalf of Seller.

(d)Buyer Obligations.  Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and the other Milestone Product Parties, to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (A) achieve each Milestone set forth in Table 3.2(a)(i) with respect to the Product in a prompt and expeditious manner,  (B) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commercialize the Product in countries where Buyer has obtained Regulatory Approval for such Product, and (C) evaluate the Development Product, in its sole discretion, in accordance with Section 3.2(e). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall not, and shall not authorize or permit its Affiliates or other Milestone Product Parties to, take any action, or omit to take any action, with the intent of avoiding, delaying or reducing the payment of any Milestone Payment(s), Sales-Based Payments or Initial Sales-Based Payments.  In the event that a Milestone Product Party determines that a Milestone will not be achieved, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing of such determination (a “Milestone Abandonment Notice”) and shall provide Seller with access to any information, data, books, records, work papers or personnel that could be reasonably expected to assist in evaluating such determination.  The Milestone Abandonment Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons the applicable determination was made.

(e)Buyer will at a time that Buyer deems suitable, in its sole discretion, after the Closing use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to evaluate further development of the Development Product.  If Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, through such analysis, that further development of the Development Product is warranted, Buyer will employ Commercially Reasonable Efforts with respect to the development of such Development Product; provided, however, that if at any time

​

24

​

Buyer reasonably determines, in its sole discretion, that continued development of the Development Product is no longer warranted, Buyer may discontinue such development.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any such discontinuance or determination not to develop the Development Product will not result in a breach by Buyer of any obligation, warranty, representation, or covenant under this Agreement, provided that Buyer used Commercially Reasonable Efforts in its initial evaluation of the development potential of the Development Product, and Buyer has and will have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Development Product other than those specifically described herein.

(f)Transition Services.  The Parties shall enter into that certain Transition Services Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Transition Services Agreement”).

(g)Acceleration of Milestone Payments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any of the following events occur, the maximum amount of each Milestone Payment and/or [***] that have not yet been satisfied or deemed to have been satisfied shall be immediately due and payable: (i) Buyer commences any Proceeding in bankruptcy or for dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up; (ii) any such Proceeding is commenced against Buyer or a receiver or trustee is appointed for Buyer or a substantial part of its respective property, and such Proceeding or appointment is not dismissed or discharged within thirty (30) days after its commencement; or (iii) Buyer (x) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (y) petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of its assets or (z) has a receiver, custodian or trustee appointed for all or substantially all of its assets and such receiver, custodian or trustee is not discharged within thirty (30) days thereafter.

(h)For clarity, the achievement of a Milestone, Initial Sales-Based Payment and/or Sales-Based Payment by or under authority of any Milestone Product Party shall be deemed the achievement of such Milestone, Initial Sales-Based Payment and/or Sales-Based Payment by Buyer, and Buyer (not the Milestone Product Party) shall be obligated to pay or cause to be paid the corresponding Milestone Payment, Initial Sales-Based Payment and/or Sales-Based Payment as set forth in this Section 3.2.

(i)For purposes of this Section 3.2 and where otherwise used in this Agreement:

(i)“Net Sales” means the gross amounts invoiced for sales of Milestone Products by any Milestone Product Party to any unrelated third parties less the following deductions: (a) normal and customary trade, quantity and cash discounts allowed; (b) discounts, refunds, rebates, chargebacks, retroactive price adjustments, and any other allowances which effectively reduce the net selling price; (c) sales, excise taxes, duties, and other government charges on the sales of Milestone Products; (d) freight, postage, shipping, insurance, and other transportation costs but only up to an amount equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the gross amounts invoiced for sales for the applicable period, in the aggregate;

​

25

​

(e) Milestone Product returns and allowances and related allowances or credits, billing corrections, and bad debt; and (f) any other customary adjustments in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(ii)Combination Products.

(1)In the event that any Milestone Product is sold as part of a Combination Product, the Net Sales of the Milestone Product, for the purposes of determining Milestone Payments, Initial Sales-Based Payments and Sales-Based Payments, as the case may be, shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction, A / (A+B) where A is the weighted average sale price of the applicable Milestone Product when sold separately in finished form, and B is the weighted average sale price of the other product(s) sold separately in finished form.  “Combination Product” means any pharmaceutical product which comprises any Milestone Product and other active compound(s) and/or ingredients).

(2)In the event that the weighted average sale price of the applicable Milestone Product can be determined but the weighted average sale price of the other product(s) cannot be determined, Net Sales for purposes of determining Milestone Payments, Initial Sales-Based Payments and Sales-Based Payments, as the case may be, shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A / C where A is the weighted average sale price of the applicable Milestone Product when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average sale price of the Combination Product.

(3)In the event that the weighted average sale price of the other product(s) can be determined but the weighted average sale price of the applicable Milestone Product cannot be determined, Net Sales for purposes of determining Milestone Payments, Initial Sales-Based Payments and Sales-Based Payments, as the case may be, shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the following formula:  one (1) minus (B / C) where B is the weighted average sale price of the other product(s) when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average sale price of the Combination Product.

(4)In the event that the weighted average sale price of both the applicable Milestone Product and the other product(s) in the Combination Product cannot be determined, the parties will negotiate in good faith the appropriate allocation percentage of Net Sales of the Combination Product to the applicable Milestone Product.

(5)The weighted average sale price for a Milestone Product, other product(s), or Combination Product shall be calculated once each Calendar Year and such price shall be used during all applicable royalty reporting periods for the entire following Calendar Year.  When determining the weighted average sale price of a Milestone Product, other product(s), or Combination Product, the

​

26

​

weighted average sale price shall be calculated by dividing the sales dollars (translated into U.S. dollars) by the units of active ingredient sold during the twelve (12) months (or the number of months sold in a partial calendar year) of the preceding Calendar Year for the respective Milestone Product, other product(s), or Combination Product.  In the initial Calendar Year, a forecasted weighted average sale price will be used for the Milestone Product, other product(s), or Combination Product. Any over or under payment due to a difference between forecasted and actual weighted average sale prices will be paid or credited in the first Milestone Payments, Initial Sales-Based Payments and Sales-Based Payments, as the case may be, of the following Calendar Year or Calendar Quarter, as applicable.

(iii)Such amounts shall be determined from the books and records of the Milestone Product Parties maintained in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied.  Buyer further agrees in determining such amounts, it will use Buyer’s then current standard procedures and methodology, including Buyer's then current standard exchange rate methodology for the translation of foreign currency sales into U.S. Dollars.

(iv)Sales or commercial dispositions of Milestone Products between or among Milestone Product Parties and their Affiliates shall be excluded from the computation of Net Sales (except where such Milestone Product Parties or Affiliates are end users of the Product), but Net Sales shall include the subsequent final sales to third parties by such Milestone Product Parties or their Affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Milestone Product is sold or otherwise commercially disposed of for consideration other than cash or in a transaction that is not at arm’s length between buyer and seller, then the gross amount to be included in the calculation of Net Sales shall be the amount that would have been invoiced had the transaction been conducted at arm’s length and for cash.  Such amount that would have been invoiced shall be determined, wherever possible, by reference to the average selling price of such Milestone Product in arm’s length transactions in the relevant country.

Section 3.3.Intended Tax Treatment.  The Parties will treat the Milestone Payments, Initial Sales-Based Payments, Sales-Based Payments and the [***] as an adjustment to the Purchase Price and such payments will be recognized by Seller (as proceeds of the sale of the Transferred Assets) and Buyer (as an adjustment to the tax basis of the Transferred Assets) at such time and in such amounts as finally determined hereunder, in each case, for U.S. federal, state, and local income and foreign tax purposes.

Section 3.4.Allocation of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price will be allocated among the relevant classes of Transferred Assets in accordance with Exhibit J (the “Allocation Statement”). From time to time, Seller shall send to Buyer an updated Allocation Statement to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price (including as a result of any Initial Sales-Based Payments and Sales-Based Payments, [***] or Milestone Payments made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement).  The Parties (a) shall allocate the Purchase Price in accordance with the Allocation Statement, (b) shall, unless otherwise required a final “determination” as defined under Section 1313(a) of the Code, prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594 and any amendments thereto) and reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Statement and (c) shall not take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation. If the values set forth on the

​

27

​

Allocation Statement are disputed by any tax authority, the Party hereto receiving notice of such dispute shall make reasonable efforts to notify the other Party hereto concerning the existence of such dispute and the Parties shall, where and when practicable, consult with each other with respect to all issues related to the Allocation Statement in connection with such dispute.  Any adjustments to the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Statement.

Section 3.5.Withholding Taxes.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.5(b), Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.  Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller a notice of its intention to make such deduction or withholding five (5) Business Days prior to making such deduction or withholding on amounts paid on the Closing.

(b)In the event that Buyer assigns its rights under this Agreement and, solely by reason of such assignment, Buyer is required to deduct or withhold in respect of payments made hereunder to Seller under applicable Law, then Section 3.5(a) shall not apply and all payments to Seller shall be made in full, without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding, regardless of any requirement under applicable Law or otherwise.

Section 3.6.[***].  All capitalized terms used or referenced in this Section 3.6 shall have the meaning set forth in the [***], other than the terms [***] and [***].

​

Section 8.6.Further Assurances.

(a)From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all reasonable further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and instruments, and shall take such reasonable actions as may be necessary or appropriate, to make effective the transactions contemplated hereby as may be reasonably requested by the other party hereto (including (i) transferring back to Seller or its designated Affiliates (and having Seller or its Affiliate assume) any asset or liability not contemplated by this Agreement to be a Transferred Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, which asset or liability was transferred to Buyer or its Affiliates at or after the Closing, and (ii) transferring to Buyer or its designated Affiliates (and having Buyer or its Affiliate assume) any asset or liability contemplated by this Agreement to be a Transferred Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, which was not transferred to or assumed by Buyer or its Affiliates at the Closing.

Section 8.8.No Setoff.  Unless otherwise provided herein to the contrary, all payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made at the time and in the amounts provided for in this Agreement without set-off or deduction.

(b)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to Section 11.1(a) if notice of the breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnification shall have been given in accordance with Section 11.5 at or prior to the time at which such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement would have otherwise expired pursuant to Section 11.1(a).

Section 11.2.Indemnification by Seller.  Subject to Section 11.4, Seller hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold them harmless from, and pay and reimburse such parties for, any Losses to the extent such Losses arise from or in connection with the following:

54

​

Section 11.4.Limitations.

(a)The amount of any Losses for which either Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, is liable under this ARTICLE XI shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually paid to the Indemnified Party (as defined herein) and (ii) the amount of any cash Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Loss and any of the circumstances giving rise thereto prior to the indemnification payment.

(b)Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Person for any Losses pursuant to Section 11.2(a) (other than with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations) until the aggregate amount of an Indemnified Party’s Losses exceed $[***] (the “Deductible”), after which Seller shall only be obligated for such aggregate Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(c)Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Person under Section 11.2(a) for an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding $[***] (other than for breaches of the Seller Fundamental Representations and Seller Special Representations). Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Person under Section 11.2(a) for an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding (i) $[***] for breaches of the Seller Special Representations and (ii) the Purchase Price actually paid to Seller under this Agreement at the time the claim is finally adjudicated or settled for breaches of the Seller Fundamental Representations.

(d)Subject to Section 11.4(g), the right of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties under this ARTICLE XI shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, with respect to matters covered hereunder, including claims relating to the Product, the Transferred Assets, Assumed Liabilities or Excluded Liabilities.

(e)Notwithstanding anything contained herein or elsewhere to the contrary, all “material” or similar materiality type qualifications contained in the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be ignored and not given any effect for the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE XI, solely for purposes of determining the amount of any Losses incurred with respect to the indemnification provisions hereof.

(f)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, a Party shall not be liable pursuant to this ARTICLE XI for any Loss incurred by the other Party hereto:

(i)relating to any Liability which is contingent only, unless and until such contingent Liability gives rise (within the time periods contemplated by Section 11.1) to an actual obligation to make payment;

​

55

​

(ii)to the extent that mitigation by the other party and its Affiliates (or its or their respective Representatives) as required by applicable Law would have eliminated or reduced such Loss; or

(iii)to the extent the Liability giving rise to the Loss is attributable to, or the amount of such Loss is increased as a result of, any: (A) applicable Law not in force at the date of this Agreement; or (B) any change of applicable Law (or any change in interpretation on the basis of applicable Law) or in applicable accounting standards, principles or interpretations.

(g)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing shall limit any remedy that a Buyer Indemnified Party may have against any Person for Fraud.

(h)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any and all due diligence conducted with respect to the transaction, the Assets or the Business shall not in any way limit the rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to make a claim for indemnification hereunder.

Section 11.5.Procedure.

(a)Any Person to seeking indemnification provided for under this ARTICLE XI (an “Indemnified Party”) in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person (other than a party hereto) against an Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim stating the amount of the Loss claimed, if known, and method of computation thereof, the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim in reasonable detail, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed to arise within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim (or sooner, to the extent the nature of the Third Party Claim requires a response in a shorter period of time); provided, that failure to give such notice shall not affect the right to indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.  Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the indemnifying Party, as promptly as reasonably practicable following such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all written notices and documents (including any court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b)If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the indemnifying Party shall be entitled at its election and its cost to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the indemnifying Party; provided, that, should, following any such election, the indemnifying Party determine that it will contest its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party, it may do so only if the cessation of its control of the defense can be effected in a manner that does not materially prejudice the Indemnified Party’s ability to conduct a defense of such matter.  If the indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall

​

56

​

nonetheless have the right to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying Party; provided, that the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any fees of such separate counsel with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim, unless the employment and reimbursement of such separate counsel is authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing.  If the indemnifying Party does not assume such defense, and for any period during which the indemnifying Party has not assumed such defense, the indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) single counsel (in addition to reasonable fees and expenses of local counsel required in jurisdictions not central to the Third Party Claim) employed (and reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying Party) by such Indemnified Party (which reasonable fees and expenses shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement).  If the indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third Party Claim or prosecute a claim in connection therewith, each Indemnified Party shall provide all cooperation as is reasonably requested by the indemnifying Party in such defense or prosecution.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.5, no party may settle, compromise or discharge (and in doing so, make any reasonable admission of liability with respect to) such Third Party Claim other than for money damages only without the prior written consent of the other party, subject to such party paying or causing to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or obtaining and delivering to such other party, prior to the execution of such settlement, a general release prepared and executed by all Persons bringing such Third Party Claim.

(d)An indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if the Third Party Claim (A) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, (B) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, or (C) if unsuccessful, would reasonably be expected to exceed the cap applicable to such a claim in Section 11.4(c) of this Agreement.

(e)In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim against an indemnifying Party under Sections 11.2 or 11.3 that does not involve a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the indemnifying Party stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim in reasonable detail and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed to arise, within ten (10) Business Days of becoming aware of the facts or circumstances giving rise to such claim; provided, that failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.  The Indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party shall, for a period of not less than twenty (20) Business Days following receipt by the indemnifying Party of the notice of such claim, negotiate, in good faith, to resolve the claim, and such Indemnified Party shall not commence Proceedings with respect to such claim prior to the end of such period.

​

57

​

Section 11.6.Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  Seller and Buyer agree to treat any indemnification payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE XI as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes.

ARTICLE XII

Section 12.3.Public Announcements.  The press release regarding this Agreement shall be a press release mutually acceptable to each of Seller and Buyer.  Following the release of such aforementioned press release, neither Seller nor Buyer (nor any of their respective Affiliates) shall issue any other press release or make any other public announcement with respect to any of the Transaction Agreements without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by Law (including any disclosure obligations under the federal securities Laws or applicable accounting principles) or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange upon which the securities of Seller, Buyer or their respective Affiliates are listed, in which case the Party proposing or required to issue such press release or make such public announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other Party before making any such public announcements; provided, that neither Seller nor Buyer will be required to obtain the prior approval of or consult with the other Party in connection with any such press release or public announcement if such press release or public announcement consists solely of information previously disclosed in all material respects in a previously distributed press release or public announcement.

Section 12.4.Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any applicable Law or as a matter of public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  If the final judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority declares that any term or other provision hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Seller and Buyer agree that the court making such determination will have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, legal and

​

59

​

enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision.

Section 12.5.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and signature pages may be delivered by facsimile, portable document format (PDF), DocuSign or any other electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or the Electronic Signatures and Records Act of the State of New York, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 12.6.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the Schedules) and the other Transaction Agreements (and all exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement collectively constitute and contain the entire agreement and understanding of Seller and Buyer with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior negotiations, correspondence, understandings, agreements and contracts, whether written or oral, among the Parties and thereto respecting the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 12.7.Assignment.  This Agreement shall not be assigned by (a) Buyer without the prior written consent of Seller, and (b) Seller, without the prior written consent of Buyer, except that each of Buyer and Seller may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, upon prior written notice to the other party; provided, that no such assignment shall release Buyer or Seller, as applicable, from any Liability or obligation under this Agreement.  Following the Closing, neither Buyer nor its Affiliates shall transfer, sell or assign to any Person who is not an Affiliate of Buyer, all or substantially all of Buyer’s rights related to the Product or Development Product or the Transferred Assets or its rights and obligations under this Agreement, except as provided in the next sentence.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing Buyer may transfer, sell or assign this Agreement together with Buyer’s rights related to the Product, the Development Product and the Transferred Assets (a “Sale Transaction”) as follows: either (x) in connection with any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Buyer (whether pursuant to sale of assets, stock, merger or reorganization of Buyer) to any Third Party successor, assignee or transferee or (y) in connection with a Sale Transaction that is not a transaction contemplated by clause (x), to any Third Party that is a publicly listed pharmaceutical company with a market capitalization at the time of such sale of at least $[***], provided, that in each case of clauses (x) and (y), the successor, assignee, or transferee expressly assumes in writing the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement, including Buyer’s diligence obligations under this Agreement, payment of the Milestone Payments, Initial Sales-Based Payments, Sales-Based Payments and [***] (except to the extent previously paid). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.7 shall not restrict or prevent in any way Buyer from entering into a license or sublicense agreement, distribution agreement or other development, research, commercial or similar agreement with any Third Party in connection with the Product, Development Product or other Milestone Product, or in connection with any of the Transferred Assets. Buyer shall deliver a copy of the written definitive agreements related to any Sale Transaction to Seller within five (5) Business Days following the consummation of such transaction, including such agreements pursuant to which the successor, assignee, or transferee expressly assumes Buyer’s obligations as set forth in

​

60

​

the preceding sentence.  Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 12.7 shall be void ab initio.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

Section 12.8.No Third-Party Beneficiaries and Affiliates.  Except as provided for herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Persons specifically named in the preamble to this Agreement as Parties and their permitted successors and assigns, no Party hereto is acting as an agent for any other Person not named herein as a Party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 12.9.Amendment; Waiver.  No provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified, including any Exhibits or Schedules thereto, except by a written instrument making specific reference hereto or thereto signed by all the parties to such agreement.  No consent from any Indemnified Party under Section 11.5 (in each case other than the Parties) shall be required to amend this Agreement.  At any time before the Closing, either Seller or Buyer may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other acts of the other Person, (b) waive any breaches or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Person contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement, but such waiver of compliance with any such covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.  Any such waiver shall be in a written instrument duly executed by the waiving Party.  No failure on the part of either Person to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under any Transaction Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Person preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 12.10.Schedules.  Any disclosure with respect to a Section of this Agreement, including any Section of the Schedules, shall be deemed to be disclosed for purposes of other Sections of this Agreement, including any Section of the Schedules, to the extent that the relevance of such disclosure would be reasonably apparent to a reader of this Agreement and such disclosure.  Matters reflected in any Section of the Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be so reflected and such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature.  No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in any Section of this Agreement, including any Section of the Schedules, shall be construed as an admission of Liability or an indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, no such reference to or disclosure of a possible breach or violation of any contract, Law or Governmental Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

Section 12.11.Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a)This Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement and all Proceedings (whether at Law, in contract, tort or otherwise, or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or the inducement of any party to enter into any Transaction Agreement, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise, and whether now existing or hereafter arising (each, a “Transaction Dispute”), shall be governed by and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such State without giving effect to any Law or rule that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York to be applied.

(b)The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (where federal jurisdiction exists) or the Commercial Division of the Courts of the State of New York sitting in the County of New York (where federal jurisdiction does not exist), and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts, in each case, over any Transaction Dispute and each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of any Transaction Dispute shall be heard and determined in such courts.  The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Transaction Dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such Transaction Dispute.  Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(c)Each of the Parties hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any Proceeding by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2.

(d)The foregoing consent to jurisdiction will not constitute submission to jurisdiction or general consent to service of process in the State of New York for any purpose except with respect to any Transaction Dispute.

Section 12.12.Specific Performance.  Each Party hereto acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage would occur, damages would be difficult to determine and would be an insufficient remedy and no adequate remedy other than specific performance would exist at law or in equity in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached (or any party hereto threatens such a breach).  Therefore, it is agreed that each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at Law or in equity.  Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative with and not exclusive of and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement, or at Law or in equity or otherwise, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy shall not preclude the

​

62

​

exercise of any other remedy.  The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach or that Seller or Buyer otherwise have an adequate remedy at Law.  If any Party hereto brings any claim to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by the period of time between the commencement of such claim and the date on which such claim is fully and finally resolved.
