(c)    Stock Consideration Adjustments.
(i)    The aggregate number of shares issued to the Owners in respect of the First Milestone or the Second Milestone, as applicable, shall in each case, be increased or decreased, as applicable, if, and only if: (x) the Average Closing Price of one share of Buyer Common Stock (1) with respect to a Change of Control, on the day of the first public announcement or public filing relating to such Change of Control, or (2) with respect to any other event resulting in the corresponding Milestone Payment becoming due and payable, the day on which the applicable Milestone is achieved, is less than $4.84 per share (as appropriately adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3(c)(ii) below), then Buyer shall issue to the Owners the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to, in the aggregate, Nine Million Six Hundred and Eighty Thousand Dollars ($9,680,000) divided by such Average Closing Price (rounded to the nearest whole share); or (y) the Average Closing Price of one share of Buyer Common Stock (1) with respect to a Change of Control, on the day of the first public announcement or public filing relating to such Change of Control, or (2) with respect to any other event resulting in the corresponding Milestone Payment

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate number of shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable with respect to each of the First Milestone or Second Milestone exceed 3,000,000 shares of Buyer Common Stock.

None of the rights of any Owner to receive the First Milestone Payment or the Second Milestone Payment shall be assignable or transferable except through a testamentary disposition, by the laws of descent and distribution upon the death of such Owner, as applicable, or as otherwise permitted in the Registration Rights Agreement. Any attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition (other than as aforesaid) of any interest in the rights of any Owner to receive the First Milestone Payment or the Second Milestone Payment shall be void.

Upon the FDA’s written approval of a New Drug Application in respect of the Product Candidate submitted by or on behalf of Buyer or an Affiliate or licensee or development partner thereof, Buyer shall pay to the Owners an aggregate amount equal to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in cash by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts or addresses designated by the Representative (the “Third Milestone”).

(h)    Withholding. Buyer will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the final Purchase Price including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Milestone Payment, any withholding taxes or other amounts required under the Code or any applicable Law to be deducted and withheld. To the extent that any such amounts are so properly deducted or withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
1.4    Post-Closing Cooperation. Each Owner agrees from time to time after the Closing Date, at Buyer’s reasonable request, to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Buyer such other instruments of conveyance and transfer and will take such other actions and execute and deliver such other documents, certifications, and further assurances as Buyer may reasonably require in order to vest more effectively in Buyer, or to put Buyer more fully in possession of, all membership or other equity interests of the Company and any of the Company’s rights or assets used in the Business.

(b)    Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, each Owner will not, directly or indirectly:
(i)    solicit the business of any Person who is a customer of Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to a Competing Business;
(ii)    cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of Buyer or its Affiliates (A) to cease doing business with such parties, (B) to deal with any competitor of Buyer or its Affiliates, or (C) in any way interfere with its relationship with such parties, in the case of (B) and (C), in connection with a Competing Business;

This Section 3.4 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. Each Owner acknowledges this Section 3.4 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ legitimate business interests and that such party will not challenge the enforceability of such restrictions.
3.5    Confidentiality by Owners. Each Owner will (i) for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, keep confidential and not disclose to others, all proprietary, non-public information of Buyer and the Company (collectively, the “Protected Information”) and (ii) not use any of the Protected Information for such Owner’s own direct or indirect benefit, or the direct or indirect benefit of any third party, except that such Owner may use such information to the extent necessary to perform its duties and obligations, or to enforce such Owner’s rights, under this Agreement or any other agreement between an Owner and Buyer, as applicable. The foregoing shall not prohibit disclosures compelled to be made by any requirement of Law or pursuant to any legal, regulatory or investigative proceeding before any court, or governmental or regulatory authority, agency or

11
- .



commission so long as such Owner provides prior written notice to Buyer so that Buyer may seek a protective order or other remedy to protect the confidentiality of the Protected Information and/or waive such Owner’s compliance with this Section 3.5, provided that all such information so disclosed (other than in a way which makes it generally available to the public) shall remain Protected Information for all other purposes. If such protective order, other remedy or waiver is not obtained by the time such Owner is required to comply, such Owner may furnish only that portion of the Protected Information that it is legally compelled, in the opinion of counsel, to disclose and shall request, at Buyer’s expense, that such Protected Information be accorded confidential treatment (if such procedure is available), including redaction of any payment terms specified herein. Each Owner further agrees to take appropriate measures to prevent any such prohibited disclosure of Protected Information by his, her or its present and future employees, officers, agents, subsidiaries, or consultants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no data or information constitutes “Protected Information” if such data or information is publicly known and in the public domain through means that do not involve a breach by an Owner of any covenant or obligation set forth in this Agreement or any other agreement between an Owner and the Buyer, as applicable.
3.6    Confidentiality by Buyer. Except as required pursuant to any applicable Laws, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall not intentionally disclose, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to disclose intentionally, any documents or other information related to a Third-Party Claim, the defense of which has been assumed by an Owner pursuant to Section 7.3(a).
3.7    Enforcement of Covenants. The Parties agree that the remedy of damages at law for the breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 3.4 and Section 3.5 is an inadequate remedy and that each Owner will not challenge the enforceability or reasonableness of the covenants set forth in Section 3.4 or Section 3.5 hereof. In recognition of the irreparable harm that a violation by the Owner of any of the covenants, agreements or obligations arising under Section 3.4 or Section 3.5 would cause Buyer or its Affiliates, each Owner agrees that in addition to any other remedies or relief afforded by law, an injunction against a violation or violations may be issued against the Owner without posting a bond or other security. In the event of an action to enforce the covenants in Sections 3.4 and 3.5, the prevailing party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction will be entitled to be reimbursed for actual attorney’s fees incurred by such party with respect to such action. Should any Owner violate any of the terms of the restrictive covenant obligations set forth in Section 3.4 or Section 3.5 hereof, the period of the obligation at issue will be extended by the period of time that such Owner (as applicable) was in violation of such obligation.

7.3    Indemnification Procedures.
(o)    Third Party Claims.
(i)    If the facts that give rise to any indemnification hereunder will involve any actual or threatened claim or demand (hereinafter referred to as a “Third-Party Claim”) by a party other than a Party hereto, its affiliates, or their respective successors or assigns, the Party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) will give the Party obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim (the “Third-Party Notice”), including the nature and basis of such Third-Party Claim and the amount of Losses thereof to the extent known, promptly after the Indemnified Party will have received notice thereof from the third-party making such claim. Such Third-Party Notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, including any summons, complaint or other pleading that may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument. The Indemnified Party’s failure or delay in providing the Third-Party Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VII (provided that such Third-Party Notice is received by the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the Survival Period applicable to the underlying claims) except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result thereof.
(ii)    The Indemnifying Party will have twenty (20) business days from receipt of the Third-Party Notice to provide the Indemnified Party with notice that it wishes to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, in which event the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in the defense at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give the Indemnified Party timely notice, the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend against the Third-Party Claim.

28
- .



(iii)    If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of the Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), unless such settlement, compromise or discharge includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may make any settlement, compromise or discharge of the Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent and seek indemnification pursuant to this Article VII for Losses resulting from such Third-Party Claim in accordance with the provisions, and subject to the limitations, of this Article VII.
(iv)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume or continue the defense or handling of such Third-Party Claim unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party will unconditionally agree in writing that it is liable for indemnifying the Indemnified Party for all Losses arising out of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with the provisions, and subject to the limitations, of this Article VII, (ii) the claim does not relate to taxes, criminal or regulatory action, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense actively and diligently.
(v)    The parties shall, in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, make available to each other and their counsel and accountants all books and records and information reasonably related to such Third-Party Claim, keep each other fully apprised as to the details and progress of all proceedings relating thereto and render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required for the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim; provided, that the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 7.3(a) shall in no event be, or be deemed to be, a waiver by any party of any right to assert the attorney-client or other applicable privilege.
(p)    Direct Claims
(i)    Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Claimant”) (other than for a Third-Party Claim which is governed by Section 7.3(a) above) must give the Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification is claimed prompt written notice of the claim for Losses (a “Demand”) stating the aggregate amount of the Losses or a good faith estimate thereof, in each case to the extent known or determinable at such time. The Indemnified Party’s failure or delay in providing the Demand will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VII (provided that such Demand is received by the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the Survival Period applicable to the underlying claims) except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result thereof.

29
- .



(ii)    Upon receipt of a Demand by an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) business days (the “Indemnity Notice Period”), to review and respond by written notice to such Demand (the “Return Notice”) to the Claimant. If the Return Notice does not contest the Demand, or if no Return Notice is delivered to the Claimant by the expiration of the Indemnity Notice Period, then, the Demand shall be conclusively determined in the Indemnified Party’s favor for purposes of this Article VII, and the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party for the amount of the Losses stated in such Demand on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the Losses (or any portion thereof) are estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Losses (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.
(iii)    If the Return Notice given by the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim or claims asserted in a Demand or the amount of Losses thereof (a “Disputed Claim”), then the Claimant and the Indemnifying Parties shall make a reasonable good faith effort to resolve their differences for a period of twenty (20) business days following the receipt by the Claimant of the Return Notice asserting a Disputed Claim. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both such parties. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation within twenty (20) business days after delivery of a Return Notice, the matter set forth in the applicable Demand will be resolved in accordance with Section 9.7 hereof.
7.4    Offset. Buyer will have the right to set off the indemnification obligations of the Owners pursuant to, and subject to the limitations of, this Article VII against the Milestone Payments; provided, that in the event that Buyer proposes to offset any such amount or right against the Milestone Payments, (a) Buyer shall provide prior written notice of the proposed offset to the Representative specifying in reasonable detail the actual amount of Losses, or Buyer’s good faith, reasonable estimate of such Losses, and the proposed offset and basis thereof and (b) Buyer shall be obligated to pay to the Owners any such amount that is not subject to a pending, or finally determined, offset claim pursuant to this Section 7.4. Upon final determination of the actual amount of Losses and corresponding offset permitted pursuant to this Article VII, Buyer promptly, but in any event within five (5) business days, shall pay to the Owners the excess of the value of any amounts previously withheld pursuant to this Section 7.4 over the actual amount of Losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The maximum number of shares subject to offset pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be equal to 50% of the aggregate number of shares issuable to the Owners upon achievement of the applicable Milestone then subject to offset as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 hereof. For purposes of determining the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock required to satisfy any indemnifiable Losses of Indemnified Parties, each share of Buyer Common Stock shall be valued at the Fair Market Value of one share of Buyer Common Stock with respect to the business day on which Buyer makes such offset following final determination of the actual amount of Losses (or the next succeeding business day, if such offset is to be made other than on a business day). The Owner’s indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article VII shall be satisfied exclusively by set off against the Milestone Payments pursuant to this Section 7.4. Unless and until

30
- .



any shares of Buyer Common Stock subject to offset pursuant to this Section 7.4 actually are issued to the Owners and no longer subject to offset, such shares shall remain the property of Buyer.
7.5    Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation and the right of a Party to seek specific performance for a breach or threatened breach of covenant, the indemnification rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties with respect to claims resulting from or relating to this Agreement.
7.6    Characterization of Indemnification Payments. The Parties agree to treat any payment made under this Article VII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
