The Buyer shall expedite the filing of all required notifications to any competition authorities. To this end the Parties and their legal advisers shall work together and shall without undue delay share all information relevant for the notification procedures, including any and all filings and correspondence with the competition authorities, unless the sharing of such information is contrary to applicable Law, in which case such information shall only be shared on an external counsel-to-counsel basis, to the extent legally permissible.

For the purpose of calculating such liquidated damages each two-week period during which a violation continues to exist shall be considered one separate violation. The payment of liquidated damages shall not cure the breach by the Seller of any of Clauses 13.3, 13.4, 13.5 or 13.6, nor shall it prevent the Buyer from initiating, or limit its right to initiate, legal action in respect of any Losses incurred by the Buyer in excess of the liquidated damages paid or to seek an injunction against the Seller’s infringement of its obligations.


JKM/JKM/1037031		26		MAY 2016

13.8	Further assurances

Each of the Parties shall execute such documents and take such actions as may reasonably be required by the other Party in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and to consummate and implement the transaction contemplated hereby.

13.9	Termination of joint taxation

The Subsidiaries are parties to a mandatory Danish joint taxation with certain other Danish companies forming part of the same tax group as the Seller. As the said joint taxation will terminate as a result of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties have agreed the terms and procedures relating to such joint taxation and the termination thereof as are set forth in Schedule 13.9.

14.	INDEMNIFICATION AND REMEDIES

14.1	General

14.1.1

Subject to the terms, including procedures and limitations, of this Agreement each of the Parties hereby undertakes to indemnify the other Party from and against all Losses suffered directly or indirectly by the other Party as a result of any breach of this Agreement (a “Claim”).

14.1.2

Each Party shall in accordance with Danish law use reasonable endeavours to avoid and to mitigate any Loss arising from a breach of this Agreement by the other Party. If and to the extent that a Party fails to avoid and/or mitigate a Loss, the other Party shall be relieved from its obligation to indemnify the other Party from such Loss.

14.1.3

For a period of twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of a Claim Notice, a Party is entitled to remedy the breach. If—and to the extent—the Party remedies the breach, the Party’s obligation to indemnify the other Party will cease.

14.1.4

A Party has no obligation to indemnify the other Party with respect to any information of a forward-looking nature relating to the Business or Savara Inc. (as the case may be), including any business plans, budgets or forecasts.

14.2	Notice of Claims

14.2.1

In the event that a Party (the “Claiming Party”) wishes to make a Claim against the other Party or in the event that a Claiming Party acquires knowledge of a matter which may give rise to a Claim against the other Party (in a way which is sufficiently clear to enable the Claiming Party to conclude with a reasonable degree of certainty that there is a basis for a Claim against the other Party), the Claiming Party shall give notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the other Party within thirty (30) Business Days after acquiring knowledge of the matter giving rise to such Claim or possible Claim.

14.2.2

In the event that the Claiming Party fails to give a Claim Notice in due time, cf. Clause 14.2.1, the other Party’s obligation (if any) to indemnify the Claiming Party will cease in respect of the relevant matter.


JKM/JKM/1037031		27		MAY 2016

14.2.3

A Claim Notice must contain a detailed description of the Claim and the factual and legal basis of the Claim and complete documentation as well as detailed calculation of the amount of the Claim (reasonably estimated if necessary).

14.2.4

In the event that a Party rejects (in part or in full) any obligation to indemnify the Claiming Party in respect of a Claim, the Party shall notify the Claiming Party thereof in writing. In such case, the Claiming Party must commence arbitration proceedings in respect of the Claim (or such part thereof which the other Party has rejected) within three (3) months of the Claiming Party’s receipt of the other Party’s rejection notice, failing which the other Party’s obligation to indemnify the Claiming Party in respect of the Claim (or the relevant part thereof) will automatically cease.

14.3	Disclosed information

14.3.1

Neither Party shall be entitled to make any Claim against the other Party with respect to any breach of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties or the Buyer’s Representations and Warranties (as the case may be) if, and to the extent, the basis or potential for such Claim was (i) in respect to a Claim made by the Buyer: within Buyer’s Knowledge or has been disclosed fairly in the Due Diligence Documentation, or (ii) in respect to a Claim made by the Seller: within Seller’s Knowledge or has been disclosed fairly in the Savara Due Diligence Documentation. For the purposes of this Clause, “fairly disclosed” shall mean disclosures in the Due Diligence Documentation or the Savara Due Diligence Documentation (as the case may be) which on a stand-alone basis include the information necessary and appropriate for the Buyer or the Seller (as the case may be) to assess the situation accurately and completely. Thus, limited, fragmented hints, or misleading information, and more generally such information which does not by itself allow the Buyer or the Seller (as the case may be) to assess a situation accurately and completely, shall not limit the Buyer’s or the Seller’s (as the case may be) rights to make any Claims against the Seller or the Buyer (as the case may be). For the avoidance of doubt, references contained in or referred to in the Due Diligence Documentation or the Savara Due Diligence Documentation (as the case may be) to information not in the Due Diligence Documentation or the Savara Due Diligence Documentation (as the case may be) shall not be deemed to include such information in the Due Diligence Documentation or the Savara Due Diligence Documentation (as the case may be).

14.3.2

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that the limitation of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties set forth in Clause 14.3.1 shall not apply, and no disclosure is intended by the Seller or accepted by the Buyer, with respect to the Seller’s Representations and Warranties in the following clauses of Schedule 10:

Clause 1 (Title);

Clause 24 (Subsidiaries);


JKM/JKM/1037031		28		MAY 2016

Clause 25 (Securities law);

Clause 26 (No pre-arranged plan of dissolution); and

Clause 27 (Broker’s fees).

14.3.3

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that the limitation of the Buyer’s Representations and Warranties set forth in Clause 14.3.1 shall not apply, and no disclosure is intended by the Buyer or accepted by the Seller, with respect to the Buyer’s Representations and Warranties in the following clauses of Schedule 11: A. Authorization.

14.4	Deadline for submission of Claims

14.4.1

The Seller shall have no liability under this Agreement in respect of any Claim pertaining to any breach of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties notified to the Seller subsequent to the expiry of twelve (12) months from (but not including) the Closing Date, provided, however, that this deadline does not apply to any Claim resulting from any breach of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties mentioned in Clause 14.3.2.

14.4.2

In case of any breach of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties mentioned in Clause 14.3.2 the deadline for the Buyer to notify the Seller shall be three (3) years from (but not including) the Closing Date.

The Buyer shall have no liability under this Agreement in respect of any Claim pertaining to any breach of the Buyer’s Representations and Warranties notified to the Buyer subsequent to the expiry of twelve (12) months from (but not including) the Closing Date.

14.5	Third Party Claims

14.5.1

In the event any third party asserts any claim against the Business or any of its assets, based on which a Claim is notified to the Seller (a “Third Party Claim”), the Buyer shall:

as soon as reasonably practicable give notice thereof to the Seller and keep the Seller informed in reasonable detail of all matters pertaining to such claim, including all material written communication and discussions substantive in nature with the relevant third party;

give the Seller and its advisors reasonable access during normal working hours to such books, records and other documents and material pertaining to such claim, and to the extent legally permitted allow the Seller accompanied by the Buyer to consult with employees of the Buyer (to the extent such employees are Transferred Employees) relevant in the context of such claim; and


JKM/JKM/1037031		29		MAY 2016

have the right to control the defence of such Third Party Claim. To the extent relevant, the Seller shall co-operate with the Buyer and with any counsel appointed by the Buyer.

14.6	Losses

14.6.1

Any Loss for which a Claim is notified to the Seller shall be calculated in DKK subject to the following principles and otherwise in accordance with Danish Law:

the net present value of any Tax benefit or saving by the Buyer which may be calculated as a result of the Loss for which a Claim is made shall be deducted when calculating the Loss;

the amount of any compensation or other recovery (including without limitation insurance proceeds) actually paid to or otherwise credited the Buyer (less the amount of any related costs and expenses, including the aggregate costs of pursuing any related insurance claims and any correspondent increases in insurance premiums) shall be deducted when calculating the Loss. If a Claim has been settled by the Seller, and the Buyer subsequently recovers any payment or compensation with respect to such Claim, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the amount so recovered, up to the amount that was settled by the Seller to the Buyer;

the Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or other restitution more than once in respect of the same Loss;

under no circumstances may multiples or similar methods of calculation be applied in the calculation of a Loss; and

when calculating a Loss sustained in foreign currencies such Losses shall be converted into DKK at the time when the Claim is notified to the Seller.

14.6.2

Any payment by the Seller to the Buyer as a result of a Claim for a breach of any of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties and/or under the Specific Indemnities shall be regarded as a reduction of the purchase price for the Business (a ‘DKK for DKK reduction’ in respect to the amount of Purchase Consideration Shares payable by the Buyer to the Seller under this Agreement).

14.6.3

Any Loss for which a Claim is notified to the Buyer shall be calculated in USD subject to the following principles and otherwise in accordance with Danish Law:

a Loss incurred by Savara Inc. as a result of a breach of a Buyer’s Representations and Warranties shall for the purpose of calculating the indirect Loss suffered by the Seller be multiplied by the Seller’s ownership percentage of Savara Inc. at the Closing Date;

the net present value of any Tax benefit or saving by Savara Inc. which may be calculated as a result of the Loss for which a Claim is made shall be deducted when calculating the Loss;


JKM/JKM/1037031		30		MAY 2016

the amount of any compensation or other recovery (including without limitation insurance proceeds) actually paid to or otherwise credited Savara Inc. (less the amount of any related costs and expenses, including the aggregate costs of pursuing any related insurance claims and any correspondent increases in insurance premiums) shall be deducted when calculating the Loss;

the Seller shall not be entitled to indemnification or other restitution more than once in respect of the same Loss;

under no circumstances may multiples or similar methods of calculation be applied in the calculation of a Loss; and

when calculating a Loss sustained in foreign currencies such Losses shall be converted into USD at the time when the Claim is notified to the Seller.

14.6.4

A Party has no obligation to indemnify the other Party for any Loss caused by:

any change in applicable Laws after the Closing Date; or

the other Party’s actions or omissions after the signing of this Agreement.

14.7	Principles for determining the indemnification of Representations and Warranties

14.7.1

A Party shall only be liable for indemnification for any breach of such Party’s Representations and Warranties (i.e., Seller’s Representations and Warranties or Buyer’s Representations and Warranties, as the case may be) provided that:

each individual Loss as finally determined caused by such breach exceeds DKK 200,000 (“De Minimis”) (meaning that if the Loss has been incurred by Savara Inc. the Loss shall amount to DKK 200,000 divided by the Seller’s ownership percentage of Savara Inc. according to the Common Stock Price in order to reach the De Minimis); and

the Claiming Party’s aggregate Loss pertaining to any such breaches as finally determined exceed DKK 2,000,000 (“Basket”) (meaning that if the Losses have been incurred by Savara Inc. the aggregate Loss shall amount to DKK 2,000,000 divided by the Seller’s ownership percentage of Savara Inc. according to the Common Stock Price in order to reach the Basket), and then the Claiming Party shall be entitled to claim indemnity for the full amount of Losses, as well as to credit and set off Losses against Contingent Milestone Payments and / or Retained Consideration Shares (if and to the extent applicable).

14.7.2

The maximum aggregate indemnification claimable against either Party for any and all breaches of such Party’s Representations and Warranties shall in no event exceed twenty per cent (20%) the value of the Total Purchase Consideration at Closing (“Cap”).


JKM/JKM/1037031		31		MAY 2016

14.7.3

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the De Minimis, the Basket and the Cap shall not apply to any breach of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties specified in Clause 14.3.2, and Losses caused by, based upon, arising out of, or resulting from a breach of such Seller’s Representation and Warranty or any retained liabilities of Seller shall not be taken into consideration when deciding whether the De Minimis, the Basket or the Cap is exceeded or not.

14.7.4

For purposes of this Clause 14, neither Seller’s Representations and Warranties nor Buyer’s Representations and Warranties shall be deemed to be qualified by any references to materiality or to material adverse effect.

14.8	Exclusive Remedies

The remedies provided for in this Clause 14 shall be the exclusive remedies of a Party with respect to any and all breaches of the other Party’s Representations and Warranties (i.e., Seller’s Representations and Warranties or Buyer’s Representations and Warranties, as the case may be).

14.9	Specific Indemnities or a Party’s wilful misconduct

With the exception of Clause 14.6, none of the limitations contained in this Clause 14 shall apply with respect to the Specific Indemnities, or in case of a Party’s intentional breach, wilful misconduct or fraud. In such case, such Party shall be obliged to indemnify the other Party in accordance with generally applicable Danish law and the other Party shall have any and all remedies available to it in any court of competent jurisdiction under generally applicable Danish law.
