If, the other active ingredient or ingredients in the Combination Product are not sold separately by the applicable Related Party in the applicable Calendar Quarter, Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalties of the Combination Product shall be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction C/D, where C is the average invoice price of the Revenue Interest Product if sold separately by the applicable Related Party in the applicable Calendar Quarter, and D is the invoice price of the Combination Product. In the event that no separate sales of the Revenue Interest Product or any other active ingredient or ingredients in the Combination Product are made by the applicable Related Party in the applicable Calendar Quarter in which such Combination Product is sold, the average invoice price per unit sold in the above described A/(A+B) equation will be replaced with the fair market value of the Revenue Interest Product and any other active ingredient or ingredients included in such Combination Product as reasonably determined in good faith by Seller.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any sales by an Out-Licensee, Net Sales will be calculated based on the corresponding definition of net sales in the applicable license agreement permitting such sales, provided that such definition is commercially reasonable.

(l)[Reserved].
(m)Books and Records, Etc. Seller agrees to maintain all books and records relevant to the calculation of Net Sales of the Revenue Interest Product and the Purchased Revenue Interest.
(n)Quarterly Meetings. Company and Lender shall have the right, from time to time, not more than once per Calendar Quarter, during normal business hours and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Seller (provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Seller Event of Default, Company and Lender shall have the right, as often, at such times and with such prior notice, as Lender determines in its reasonable discretion), to visit the offices and properties of Seller where books and records relating or pertaining to the Revenue Interest Product, the Tufts License Agreement, any Out-Licenses, and Net Sales of the Revenue Interest Product are kept and maintained (or, at Lender’s option, to conduct a meeting by telecommunications), to discuss, with officers of Seller, the business, operations, properties and financial and other condition of Seller, the Revenue Interest Product, any Out-Licenses, and Net Sales of the Revenue Interest Product and any topics related thereto, to verify compliance with this Agreement and the calculation of Net Sales of the Revenue Interest Product and the Purchased Revenue Interest, and, upon physical visits, to inspect and make extracts from and copies of the books and records of Borrower and Parent relating or pertaining to the Revenue Interest Product, any Out-Licenses, and Net Sales of the Revenue Interest Product.

Prior to each Cut-Off Date, Seller shall (i) deliver to Company the Quarterly Report for the Calendar Quarter most recently ended prior to such Cut-Off Date and (ii) pay, by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the Collection Account, the Purchased Revenue Interest Amount in respect of such Calendar Quarter, which payments shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes. Seller shall prepare and maintain and cause its Affiliates and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Out-Licensees to prepare and maintain reasonably complete and accurate records of the information to be disclosed in each Quarterly Report. The parties understand and agree that if Seller is unable to obtain any of the foregoing information from any Out-Licensee, Seller will not be obligated to provide such information unless and until Seller is in possession and control of such information and any payment in respect of Net Sales for such Out-Licensee for the
-15-
applicable Quarterly Period shall be based on Sellers’ good faith estimate of such Net Sales with any underpayment or overpayment to be credited or debited to the Purchased Revenue Interest Amount for the subsequent Calendar Quarter.
(p)Certain Company Covenants and Organizational Documents. Seller shall, so long as it is the sole shareholder of Company and prior to the Revenue Interest Termination Date, cause Company to be managed and operated in a manner consistent with the negative covenants contained in Section 9.01 of the Loan Agreement and the Organizational Documents of Company.
(q)Audit Rights.
(i)Subject to reasonable advance written notice from Company and agreement by Lender to the reimbursement of costs and expenses as provided in Section 4.01(q)(ii), Seller shall permit an independent public accounting firm chosen by Lender to have access during normal business hours to the books and records of Seller as may be reasonably necessary to audit the calculation of Net Sales of the Revenue Interest Product and the Purchased Revenue Interest (or reasons for the lack of any calculation therefor). In the event that any such audit reveals an underpayment of the Purchased Revenue Interest Amount to Company (excluding any underpayment as a result of Seller’s good faith estimate of Net Sales by an Out-Licensee, solely to the extent permitted under Section 4.01(o), and solely to the extent such underpaid amount is credited to the payments due for the subsequent Calendar Quarter and such credited payment is not yet due), then the underpayment amount shall be paid within five (5) Business Days by Seller, plus interest thereon, calculated from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is actually paid, at the rate equal to the prime rate of interest as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition (or, if such publication is no longer available or relevant, a publication reasonably selected in good faith by Company), in effect on the date such amount was due. In the event that any such audit reveals an overpayment of the Purchased Revenue Interest Amount to Company, then the overpayment amount shall be deducted from the Purchased Revenue Interest Amount on the next Quarterly Payment Date, but solely to the extent such Purchased Revenue Interest Amount is greater than zero.
(ii)In the event any audit of the books and records of Seller relating to the Revenue Interest Product reveals that the amounts paid to the Company hereunder for the period of such audit have been underpaid by more than ten percent (10%) of the amounts determined to be due for the period subject to such audit (excluding any underpayment as a result of Seller’s good faith estimate of Net Sales by an Out-Licensee, solely to the extent permitted under Section 4.01(o), and solely to the extent such underpaid amount is credited to the payments due for the subsequent Calendar Quarter and such credited payment is not yet due), then the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in respect of such audit shall be borne by Seller which shall reimburse Lender for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such audit; and in all other cases, such costs and expenses shall be borne by Lender.

(ii)Seller may assign or otherwise transfer regulatory approvals constituting Product Assets in connection with any Out-License or to a Subsidiary of Seller in connection with the Commercialization of the Revenue Interest Product;
(iii)Seller may sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Product Assets in connection with a Qualified Change of Control provided that the acquiring entity in such Qualified Change of Control assumes all of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement;
(iv)Seller may abandon, cancel, fail to renew or discontinue use or maintenance of Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of business so long as such abandonment, cancellation, non-renewal or discontinuance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and
(v)Seller may assign or pledge as collateral its right, title and interest in, to or under, any Product Assets to one or more providers of senior secured debt financing to Seller so long as one or more of the following conditions are met:
(A)such provider(s) (or its or their agents or representatives) expressly acknowledges and agrees that such assignment and/or pledge is made subject to Company’s rights with respect to the Purchased Revenue Interests (including, without limitation, Company’s ownership rights, backup security interests and related claims and liens);
-17-
(B)such provider(s) (or its or their agents or representatives) enters into an intercreditor agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Company that provides that (i) Company has a first-priority lien on the Purchased Revenue Interest; (ii) such provider shall not, directly or indirectly, contest or challenge, or support any party in contesting or challenging, the Company’s rights with respect to the Purchased Revenue Interest (including, without limitation, Company’s ownership rights, backup security interests and related claims and liens); (iii) such provider shall have the first right of enforcement in any liens on the Product Assets and Company’s right to enforce in respect of the Purchased Revenue Interests shall be subject to a customary standstill pending such provider’s enforcement of its rights, (iv) Company shall not oppose any disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code) of the Product Assets so long as either (I) the Product Assets so disposed remain subject to the Purchased Revenue Interest or (II) the Company is entitled to a percentage of the proceeds from such disposition equal to the Applicable Rate, plus, if any True-Up Payment is then due and payable, the True-Up Percentage, subject to a cap equal to the Cap Amount; and (v) Company shall not interfere with such provider enforcing its rights and remedies as a secured creditor under the UCC, any Bankruptcy Law and any other applicable law (to the extent such enforcement is not inconsistent with clauses (i)-(v) of this Section 4.01(r)(v)(B)); or
(C)such provider(s) (or its or their agents or representatives) enters into an intercreditor agreement otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Company and Lender.
Section 4.02Consequences of Seller Event of Default
. If a Seller Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in addition to any other action that Lender may be entitled to take in connection with a Seller Event of Default, the parties acknowledge that damages may be difficult to establish and accordingly Lender, at any time prior to the Revenue Interest Termination Date, shall be entitled to take such legal action and exercise such legal or equitable remedies, including seeking injunctive or other equitable relief without being required to prove actual damages or post any bond, as Lender may determine in its sole discretion in order to correct or prevent the continuation of such Seller Event of Default.

INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENTS
Section 7.01Indemnification
.
(a)Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Company, Lender and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person whether or not any such Indemnified Party shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and whether or not such Indemnified Party is required by Applicable Law to be involved therein, and any fees or expenses actually incurred by Indemnified Parties in enforcing the indemnity provided herein), whether direct, indirect or consequential, whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, which may be incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Party (except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party) awarded against, or incurred or suffered by, such Indemnified Party, whether or not involving a third party claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, arising out of (i) the failure of any representation, warranty or certification of Seller in the Transaction Documents or any certificate given by Seller pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents, to be true when made; (ii) a breach of any covenant by Seller set forth in, or failure by Seller to perform its duties under or otherwise comply with, the Transaction Documents (whether or not a Seller Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event, as defined in the Contribution Agreement), or Seller’s engaging in intentional misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such duties; or (iii) other than as permitted under Section 4.01(g), the transfer by Seller of any interest in the Purchased Revenue Interest to any Person other than Company, or any attempt by any Person to void the transfer of the Purchased Revenue Interest to Company. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the above indemnities shall not be interpreted to provide indemnification for any damages, losses or costs that have the effect of recourse for non-payment or insufficient payment under the Purchased Revenue Interest and factors affecting the performance of the Purchased Revenue Interest and payments generated thereby that are not specifically represented, warranted or agreed to in the Transaction Documents which may include but are not limited to product obsolescence, competition, changes in government healthcare policies or other healthcare provider reimbursement, patent invalidity (other than to the extent that Seller had Knowledge of such patent invalidity as of the date of any related representation or warranty), and withholding taxes related to the Purchased Revenue Interest. This Section 7.01(a) shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(b)The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to, and be enforceable by, an injured party and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or Section 8.13 hereof, Company’s rights under this Section 7.01(b) shall be assignable by Company to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement.
-19-
(c)If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority) shall be brought or alleged against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought pursuant to this Section, the Indemnified Party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding, notify Seller in writing of the commencement of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any; provided that the omission to so notify Seller will not relieve Seller from any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party under this Section unless, and only to the extent that, Seller is actually materially prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party and it notifies Seller of the commencement thereof, Seller will be entitled, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to Seller), and, after notice from Seller to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, Seller will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (a) Seller and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (b) Seller has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel or (c) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both Seller and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them. It is agreed that Seller shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such Indemnified Parties. Seller shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Seller agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Indemnified Liabilities by reason of such settlement or judgment. Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement, compromise or discharge of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge, as the case may be, (i) includes an unconditional written release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding, (ii) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party and (iii) does not impose any continuing material obligation or restrictions on any Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Indemnified Liabilities shall not include any consequential, punitive, special or incidental damages, provided that Seller and Company
-20-
acknowledge and agree that (a) Company’s losses, if any, for any indemnifiable events under this Agreement will typically include losses for the Purchased Revenue Interest that Company was entitled to receive but did not receive timely or at all due to such indemnifiable event and (b) Company shall be entitled to make indemnification claims for all such missing or delayed payments in respect of the Purchased Revenue Interest Amount that Company was entitled to receive in respect of its ownership of the Purchased Revenue Interest as losses hereunder, and such missing or delayed payments in respect of the Purchased Revenue Interest Amount shall not be deemed consequential, punitive, special or incidental damages for any purpose of this Agreement.
