or to any Third Party administrator or contractor, including managed health organizations, pharmacy benefit management companies and group purchasing organizations.
All of the foregoing deductions from the gross invoiced sales prices of a Product will be determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP (or, if used by the Selling Party, International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)) as consistently applied by such Selling Party with respect to external reporting. It is understood and agreed that any accruals of amounts reflected in Net Sales shall be periodically (at least on a Calendar Quarter basis) trued up in a manner consistent with the applicable Selling Party’s customary practices and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or IFRS, as applicable, and Net Sales for the quarter in which such adjustment occurs shall be adjusted to reflect such trued-up amounts. For clarification, sale of a Product by a Selling Party to another Selling Party for resale by such entity to a Third Party shall not be deemed a sale for purposes of this definition of “Net Sales” unless such entity is the end customer of such Product.
Further, use, supply or donation of the Product by a Selling Party [***] shall not, in each case, be deemed sales of the Product for purposes of this definition of “Net Sales.”
In the event that a Combination Product is sold in any country in the Territory, Net Sales of the Combination Product will be calculated by multiplying the total Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the weighted average per unit selling price in the applicable country in the Territory of the Compound or Product in such Combination Product sold separately (without any Additional Active) in the same formulation and dosage in a comparable indication, and B is the sum of the weighted average per unit selling price in the applicable country in the Territory of all Additional Actives (in the same formulation and dosage in a comparable indication as in the Combination Product) in the Combination Product, as applicable, in each case sold separately during the applicable Calendar Quarter.
If, in a particular country, A can be determined, but B cannot be determined because the Additional Active(s) are not sold separately in such country, then Net Sales will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/C, where A is as defined above, and C is the total weighted average per unit selling price of the Combination Product.
If, in a particular country, B can be determined, but A cannot be determined because such Product or Compound component is not sold separately in such country, Net Sales will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction 1-B/C, where B is defined as provided above, and C is defined as provided immediately above.
If, however, in a particular country, neither A nor B can be determined, [***].
Note Purchase Agreement” means the note purchase agreement to be executed and delivered at Closing, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2.
Ongoing Clinical Trials Data” means all data from the Ongoing Clinical Trial set forth on Schedule 1.1(d).
Order” means any judgment, order, writ, injunction, ruling, stipulation, determination, award or decree of or by, or any settlement under the jurisdiction of, any Court or Governmental Entity.
Other Compound” means any compound that is (a) further developed or commercialized by or on behalf of Buyer or its Affiliate as a back-up to the Ento Compound or the Lanra Compound and (b) Covered by the Transferred Patent Rights; provided, that Other Compound does not include the Ento Compound or the Lanra Compound.

Person” means any natural person, corporation, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, proprietorship, joint venture, other business organization, trust, entity, union, association or Governmental Entity.

Subject to Section 9.4.4, no Claim may be made by any Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2.1 or Section 9.3.1, until the aggregate amount of Losses for which an Indemnified Party seeks to be indemnified pursuant to Section 9.2.1 or Section 9.3.1, as the case may be, exceeds $[***] (the “Deductible”), at which time the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Losses in excess of the Deductible.

9.4.3Calculation. Any Losses as to which indemnification provided for in Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 may apply shall be determined net of any cash recovery actually received by an Indemnified Party with respect to insurance or other Third-Party recovery proceeds specifically with respect to the specific matter for which indemnification is sought, less any current costs associated with obtaining such recovery. If an Indemnified Party receives an indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement and later receives insurance proceeds or other Third-Party recovery proceeds in respect of the related Losses, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party, amounts equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such insurance proceeds or other Third-Party recovery proceeds, if any, and (b) the amount of the indemnification payment previously paid by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to pay such insurance proceeds or other Third-Party recovery proceeds in the event that the Indemnified Party has additional Losses which would have been recovered had such amounts been available from the Indemnifying Party. This Section 9.4.3 shall not imply and shall not be construed to imply any obligation on the part of any Person to seek or pursue any such recovery and the failure to seek or pursue any such recovery shall not be defense to any indemnification obligation hereunder.
9.4.4Certain Exceptions to Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the limitations and thresholds and other provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 9 shall not apply to Claims: (a) involving fraud, (b) involving or related to any Commercial Milestone Payments, Regulatory Milestone Payments, royalty payments or other payments payable by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (c) in the case of indemnification by Buyer, involving or related to (i) any of the [***] not attributable to any failure, whether by act or omission, by Seller to comply with its obligations under the [***] Merger Agreement or (ii) any Assumed Liabilities, or (d) in the case of indemnification by Seller, involving or related to (i) any of the rights and obligations under the [***] Merger Agreement not attributable to any failure, whether by act or omission, by Buyer to comply with the [***] or (ii) any Excluded Liabilities, and any Losses arising from or indemnification payments made on account of such Claims pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 shall not be taken into account in determining the applicability of such limitations and thresholds and other provisions to other Losses or Claims.
9.5Procedures.
9.5.1General. Promptly after the discovery by any Indemnified Party of any Loss or Losses, Claim or breach, including any Claim by a Third-Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to Seller or Buyer, whichever is the appropriate indemnifying party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”), a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) that:
9.5.1.1states that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses, or reasonably anticipates that it may or will incur liability for Losses, for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and
9.5.1.2specifies in reasonable detail, to the extent practicable and available, each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or Claim to which each such item is related and, to the extent computable, an estimation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder;

9.5.2Cure Period for Post-Closing Obligations. With respect to any breach of any post-Closing covenants and obligations that are reasonably curable, the Indemnifying Party shall have a period of [***] days following an Indemnified Party’s delivery of a Claim Certificate to cure any such breach specified in such Claim Certificate. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to cure (or attempt to cure) any claimed breach, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party delivering the Claim Certificate within [***] days of receiving the Claim Certificate of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to cure; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party’s election to cure any breach shall not constitute an admission of any breach or agreement by the Indemnifying Party to indemnify such Indemnified Party with respect thereto and shall not be used against the Indemnifying Party in any subsequent indemnification Claim. In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to cure such alleged breach within such [***] day period, the Indemnifying Party shall still be entitled to object to such Claim or Claims pursuant to Section 9.5.3 by delivering a notice of objection to the applicable Indemnified Party prior to the end of such period.

If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree with respect to any of such Claims, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party together shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party fail to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts within such [***] day period, then either party shall be entitled to pursue its available remedies for resolving its Claim for indemnification.
Defense of Third-Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own legal counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim that (a) involves or relates to[***] (b) seeks an injunction or other non-monetary equitable relief [***] or (c) involves [***]; provided, further, that if a Third-Party Claim involves or relates to a dispute over whether [***]. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with the preceding sentence, [***]. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 9.5.5, it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

The fees and disbursements of such legal counsel shall be at the expense of [***], provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of outside legal counsel to [***], (A) [***]; or (B) there exists [***]. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.5.5 defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim (subject to the limitations set forth herein). Seller and Buyer shall

33


cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, [***].
9.5.4Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if all of the following conditions are met: (a) the terms of the judgment or proposed settlement [***], (b) there is no finding or admission of [***] and (c) the sole form of relief is monetary damages which are paid in full by [***]. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.5.4, it shall not [***]. Any settlement or compromise of a Third-Party Claim effected by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnifying Party shall not [***].
9.5.5Agreed Claims. Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which the Indemnifying Party did not object in writing within [***] days of receipt of such Claim Certificate, Claims covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Section 9.5.2 and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of resolution by arbitration or of a final non-appealable judicial determination are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to payment for any Agreed Claim within [***] Business Days of the determination of the amount of any such Agreed Claims.
9.6Sole Remedy. Other than rights and remedies provided in Section 9.4.4 and Section 10.13, the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement shall be indemnification in accordance with this ARTICLE 9.

If such policies are written on a claims made basis, they shall remain in effect for a minimum period of [***] years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall not be cancelled or subject to a material reduction of coverage without the prior written authorization of Seller. Upon Seller’s written request, Buyer shall provide Seller certified copies of Buyer’s insurance policies to evidence the purchase and/or maintenance of such policies. Maintenance of such insurance coverage shall not relieve Buyer of any responsibility under this Agreement for damages in excess of insurance limits or otherwise.
9.8LIMITATION OF DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE HEREUNDER TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR (A) ANY PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR (B) ANY RELIANCE, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, OR LOST SAVINGS) HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY.
