(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any asset (including any Contract) or any claim, right or benefit arising under or resulting from any such asset (including any Contract), if the assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a Third Party, would constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such Third Party, would be ineffective with respect to any party to an agreement concerning such asset (including any Contract), claim, right or benefit, or, upon assignment or transfer, would in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates or, upon transfer, Purchaser.

Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (the “Negotiation Notice”) within thirty (30) days thereafter (the “Notice Period”) if Purchaser is interested in acquiring or licensing or sublicensing such intellectual property, and, if so, Purchaser and Seller will enter into good faith negotiation with respect to a mutually acceptable agreement for the sale or license or sublicense of the same to Purchaser.

ARTICLE VIII

COVENANTS OF PURCHASER

Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

Section 8.01. Advise Seller. Purchaser shall promptly advise Seller in writing of any change or event occurring between the date hereof and the Closing Date which Purchaser believes (i) would be reasonably likely to result in the failure of any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in ARTICLE IV to be satisfied as of the Closing Date, or (ii) would be reasonably likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Purchaser to consummate the Acquisition or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

 

22


Section 8.02. Access to Information. Purchaser acknowledges that it and its representatives have received or been afforded the opportunity to review prior to the date hereof all written materials which Seller was required to deliver or make available, as the case may be, to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement on or prior to the date hereof. Purchaser acknowledges that it and its representatives have been permitted full and complete access to the books and records, facilities, equipment, Contracts and other properties and assets of Seller and its Affiliates to the extent relating to the Product, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities in the Territory that it and its representatives have desired or requested to see or review, and that it and its representatives have had a full opportunity to meet with the officers and employees of Seller and its Affiliates to discuss the Product, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 8.03. Records. Purchaser shall, from the date hereof until the date that is two (2) years following the end of the Royalty Period, keep full and accurate books of all accounts and other records in sufficient detail so that the Product Royalties payable hereunder can be properly and fully ascertained. Purchaser shall, at the request of Seller, permit a nationally recognized independent certified public accountant selected by Seller (the “Independent Auditor”) to have access during ordinary business hours, to such books and records as may be necessary to determine the accuracy of any Payment Report or payment made under this Agreement or to obtain information as to Product Royalties payable in case of failure to report or pay pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Independent Auditor shall be bound by a confidentiality agreement to keep all information acquired from Seller confidential, and shall be permitted to disclose to Seller only the amount and accuracy of the Product Royalties reported and actually paid or otherwise payable under this Agreement. The Independent Auditor will send a copy of its written reports to Purchaser at the same time it is sent to Seller. Seller shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor, provided, however, that Purchaser shall reimburse Seller in full for all such documented costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor if the Independent Auditor determines that the Product Royalties paid by Purchaser to Seller are less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the amount actually owed for the relevant period of the audit.

Section 8.04. Efforts.

(a) General Efforts. Purchaser, from the Closing Date until the date that Purchaser pays to Seller the last Sales Milestone payment pursuant to Section 3.02(c), shall, subject to Section 8.04(b), take commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of the Trailing Four Quarter Net Sales targets set forth in Section 3.02(c) to occur as soon as reasonably practicable.

(b) Specific Actions. Without limiting the generality of the matters set forth in Section 8.04(a), unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Purchaser shall satisfy each of the following requirements:

(i) Establishment of Field Force. Purchaser shall, on or before December 31, 2013, establish a field force to promote the Product to physicians and other customers or potential customers (the “Field Force”) in the Territory comprised of at least [***] ([***]) Field Personnel dedicated to Detailing the Product in the first position (i.e., no other product shall be presented to or discussed with the healthcare professional

 

23


before the Product and the predominant portion of time is devoted to the Detailing of such pharmaceutical product, the “First Position”)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the FDA delays unduly the approval of, or refuses to approve, [***] as a manufacturer of the Product as contemplated by Section 3.02(b), the Parties shall agree in good faith on an adjusted timetable for Purchaser’s establishment and maintenance of the Field Force as provided above and in clause (ii) below.

(ii) Maintenance of Commercialization Efforts. Subject to clause (i), above, Purchaser shall, from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015 (the “Marketing Period”) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Field Force at or above [***] ([***]) Field Personnel. During the Marketing Period, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause the Field Force to achieve not less than customary productivity standards in the industry and (b) direct at least [***]% of Field Force efforts towards Detailing the Product.

(iii) Reporting Obligations. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first full calendar quarter ending after the Closing Date and ending at the expiration of the Marketing Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report with respect to such preceding calendar quarter (the “Compliance Report”) that sets forth each of the following information for each month in such preceding calendar quarter and on an aggregate basis for such calendar quarter: (a) performance versus key performance indicators for areas such as payor contracting, medical affairs and education, clinical development and registries, marketing calendar and promotional materials; (b) the number of Field Personnel comprising the Field Force at the end of each such month and calendar quarter; (c) the Average Field Force; (d) the total number of Details for each such quarter performed by the Field Force; (e) the percentage of Details in such calendar quarter in which the Product was detailed to appropriately targeted primary prescribing physicians; (f) the number of products (including the Product) that were presented to or discussed with the healthcare professional in each Detail in such quarter; (g) the position of the Product in such Detail; (h) the percentage of Details in such calendar quarter in which the Product was detailed in at least the First Position; (i) if, with respect to such calendar quarter either (I) the Average Field Force is less than the Field Force Floor, or (II) the Product is not Detailed in at least the First Position by the Field Force in such calendar quarter, then such Compliance Report shall set forth a reasonably detailed description of the actions Purchaser has taken and intends to take to comply with the requirements of this Section 8.04(b); and (j) a description of any other material actions Purchase has taken to comply with its obligations under Section 8.04(a).

(iv) Breaches. In the event that at any time during the Marketing Period, (a) Purchaser shall fail to deliver a Compliance Report within thirty (30) days following the end of any calendar quarter, or (b) Seller determines in good faith (it being understood that any such determination made solely with reference to the information contained in any one or more Compliance Reports shall be deemed made in good faith) that (I) the Average Field Force during any two consecutive calendar quarters is less than [***] ([***]) Field Personnel (the “Field Force Floor”), or (II) the Product has not been consistently Detailed in the First Position by the Field Force during any two consecutive

 

24


calendar quarters, then Seller shall have an irrevocable right (the “Call Option”) to cause Purchaser to transfer to Seller (or a designee of Seller) each of the Acquired Assets, the Strakan Assets, and any assets acquired or developed by Purchaser following the Closing primarily related to the Business (the “Called Assets”) for no additional consideration, and Purchaser shall have the obligation to transfer all Called Assets to Seller on terms and conditions (other than with respect to any payments) reasonably consistent with the terms of the Transfer Agreement (without giving effect to any amendments thereto following the Closing). Seller shall have the right to exercise the Call Option within thirty (30) days following the earlier of (x) receipt of a Compliance Report, and (y) the thirtieth calendar day following the end of each calendar quarter (such thirty (30) day period the “Option Period”), by giving notice thereof to Purchaser (the “Exercise Notice”) pursuant to Section 12.06 before the end of the Option Period. The Exercise Notice shall (i) identify in reasonable detail the basis of the breach giving rise to Seller’s right to exercise the Call Option, and (ii) identify the party (or parties) to which the Called Assets shall be transferred. Upon receipt by Purchaser of the Exercise Notice from Seller, the License Agreement shall terminate automatically and without further action by either Party hereto in accordance with its terms and the parties shall use their best efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to transfer the Called Assets to Seller or its designees as soon as reasonably practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, if Seller does not deliver an Exercise Notice within the Option Period, Seller shall have no right to exercise the Call Option or deliver an Exercise Notice to Purchaser until the commencement of the next Option Period.

Section 8.05. DISCLAIMER. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE V OR IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, NEITHER SELLER NOR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE PRODUCT, THE ACQUIRED ASSETS OR THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES, THE MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTION, MARKETING OR SALE OF THE PRODUCT BY SELLER AND ITS AFFILIATES, ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THE RESPECTIVE BUSINESSES OF SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCT, THE ACQUIRED ASSETS OR THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES FURNISHED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES, AND (B) PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY FROM SELLER OR ANY OTHER PERSON WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT, THE ACQUIRED ASSETS OR THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES, ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THE RESPECTIVE BUSINESSES OF SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCT, THE ACQUIRED ASSETS OR THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES FURNISHED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES IN DETERMINING TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE V AND IN THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NONE OF SELLER OR ANY OTHER PERSON SHALL HAVE OR BE SUBJECT TO ANY LIABILITY TO PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER PERSON RESULTING FROM THE DISTRIBUTION TO PURCHASER, OR PURCHASER’S USE OF, ANY SUCH INFORMATION, OR OF ANY INFORMATION, DOCUMENTS OR MATERIAL MADE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER

 

25


AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES IN CERTAIN VIRTUAL OR PHYSICAL “DATA ROOMS”, VISITS TO PHYSICAL PREMISES INCLUDING THOSE OF THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURERS, OR IN ANY OTHER FORM IN EXPECTATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, SHOULD THE CLOSING OCCUR, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, PURCHASER SHALL ACQUIRE THE ACQUIRED ASSETS WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IN AN “AS IS” CONDITION AND ON A “WHERE IS” BASIS AND PURCHASER SHALL BEAR THE ECONOMIC AND LEGAL RISKS THAT ANY CONVEYANCE SHALL PROVE TO BE INSUFFICIENT TO VEST IN PURCHASER GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLE, FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY LIENS, THAT ANY NECESSARY CONSENTS OR GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS ARE NOT OBTAINED AND THAT ANY REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE LAWS OR JUDGMENTS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH.

MUTUAL COVENANTS

Section 9.01. Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, following the date hereof, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Closing to occur as soon as practicable thereafter. Following the date hereof, each of Seller and Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, take any action that would, or that would reasonably be expected to, result in any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE IV not being satisfied. This Section 9.01 shall not, and shall not be deemed to, restrict or prohibit Seller or Purchaser in any way whatsoever from exercising any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Each of Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with the other Party and its employees, legal counsel, accountants and other representatives and advisers in connection with the steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement; and each of them shall, at any time and from time to time after the Closing, upon the reasonable request of the other, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, receipts, acknowledgments, acceptances and assurances as may be reasonably required (without incurring unreimbursed expense) to satisfy and perform the obligations of such party hereunder, and to allow Purchaser to accomplish the Intended Use of the Product in the Territory after the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the FDA does not approve [***] as a manufacturer of the Products as contemplated by Section 3.02(b) or the Parties reasonably determine, in good faith, that any such approval is unlikely to be granted on a timely basis, the Parties shall mutually agree upon a new qualified manufacturer for the Product in the Territory, and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to support such manufacturer in obtaining the requisite FDA approval as a manufacturer with respect to the Product.

 

26


Section 9.02. Transfer Agreement. Following the date hereof and prior to the Closing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in coordinating with Strakan regarding the transfer of the Strakan Assets from Strakan to Purchaser and the transition from Strakan to Purchaser following the Closing.

Section 9.03. Bulk Transfer Laws. Purchaser hereby waives compliance by Seller and its Affiliates with the provisions of any so-called “bulk transfer law” of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Acquired Assets to Purchaser.

Section 9.04. Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, VAT, registration and other such Taxes, applicable to the Acquisition (such Taxes, together with any interest, penalties and additions thereto, collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), shall be paid by Purchaser. Purchaser shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed by it under applicable Law with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in providing each other with any appropriate resale exemption certifications and other similar documentation required to obtain any exemption from (or reduction in) Transfer Taxes, and shall cooperate in taking any commercially reasonable steps to minimize the Parties’ liability for Transfer Taxes.

Section 9.05. Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The Parties agree that the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets sold by Seller and each Selling Affiliate and purchased by Purchaser in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and corresponding provisions of applicable foreign Law) and in accordance with an allocation schedule set forth by Seller and delivered to Purchaser within ninety (90) days after Closing (the “Allocation”), which Allocation shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. In the event of a disagreement, a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller shall settle such dispute with the costs of such firm being borne equally by Seller and Purchaser.

(b) Purchaser and Seller agree to (i) be bound by the Allocation, (ii) act in accordance with the Allocation in the preparation of financial statements and filing of all Tax Returns (including filing Form 8594 with its federal income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date), and (iii) take no position inconsistent with the Allocation for all Tax purposes.

27


Section 9.07. Confidentiality and Confidential Information.

(a) Each Party acknowledges that it may receive Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other Party in the performance of or in furtherance of this Agreement. Each Party shall hold confidential and not, directly or indirectly, disclose or publish to any Third Party or use for the benefit of a Third Party or, except in carrying out its duties hereunder, itself or its Affiliates, any Confidential Information of the other Party, without first having obtained the furnishing Party’s written consent to such disclosure or use. Purchaser acknowledges that it continues to remain bound by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and that Confidential Information received by it under or in connection with this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as, Evaluation Materials under the Confidentiality Agreement. These restrictions shall not apply to any Confidential Information which:

(i) is known to the receiving Party or its Affiliates prior to the time of disclosure to it;

(ii) is independently developed by employees, agents, or independent contractors of the receiving Party or its Affiliates without aid or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (and such independent development can be demonstrated by the receiving Party);

(iii) is disclosed, without restriction as to confidentiality, to the receiving Party or its Affiliates by a Third Party that has a right to make such disclosure; or

(iv) becomes part of the public domain through no breach by the receiving Party of its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Each receiving Party shall disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing Party only to those employees and contractors of such Party and of its Affiliates who have reason to know such information in furtherance of a Party’s duties under this Agreement and who are bound by an obligation of confidentiality to the receiving Party (or its Affiliate) that is no less stringent than the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 9.07.

(b) The receiving Party shall also be entitled to disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed (i) to or by any Governmental or Regulatory Authorities; (ii) to comply with applicable Laws (including, without limitation, to comply with SEC, Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, or stock exchange disclosure requirements), (iii) to comply with judicial process or an order of any Governmental or Regulatory Authority of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) to defend or prosecute litigation; provided, however, that in each case the Party required to disclose such Confidential Information shall use reasonable efforts to notify the other Party in advance of such disclosure and shall provide the disclosing Party with reasonable assistance to obtain a protective order and/or confidential treatment of such Confidential Information, to the extent available, and thereafter only discloses the minimum Confidential Information required to be disclosed in order to ensure legal compliance.

 

28


(c) This obligations set forth in this Section 9.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing for five (5) years. Upon termination of this Agreement, a receiving Party shall return to the disclosing Party or destroy all Confidential Information provided to it by the disclosing Party, including all copies, notes and extracts thereof or other written records containing such Confidential Information, except for (x) one (1) copy that it may keep in counsel’s secure files for the sole purpose of verifying its continuing confidentiality obligations hereunder, and (y) archival copies residing on back-up tapes made by such party in the ordinary course of business; provided, that Purchaser shall not be obligated hereby to return or destroy any Confidential Information that constitutes Acquired Assets actually purchased by it hereunder.

(a) the breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in ARTICLE V, any Ancillary Agreement or any certificate delivered hereunder;

(a) the breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in ARTICLE VII, any Ancillary Agreement or any certificate delivered hereunder;

Section 10.03. Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Procedures Relating to Indemnification for Third Party Claims. In order to receive the benefits of the indemnity under Section 10.01 or Section 10.02, as applicable, in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) against a Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee (either, an “Indemnitee”), such Indemnitee must:

(i) give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) written notice of any claim or potential claim promptly after the Indemnitee receives notice thereof; provided, that failure of the Indemnitee to provide such notice shall not constitute a waiver of, or result in the loss of, such Party’s right to indemnification under this Agreement, except in the event that the Indemnitor’s rights, and/or its ability to defend against or settle such claim or potential claim, are materially prejudiced by such failure to notify;

(ii) allow the Indemnitor to assume the control of the defense and settlement (including all decisions relating to litigation, defense and appeal) of any such claim, provided, that: (A) no such settlement may materially adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Indemnitee under this Agreement without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent; and (B) any settlement reached without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee shall be for monetary damages only (which amount shall be fully indemnified hereunder by the Indemnitor) and not for any equitable relief and shall not include any admission or ongoing obligation or restriction on the part of the Indemnitee; and

(iii) reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor in its defense of the claim (including, without limitation, making documents and records available for review and copying and making persons within the Indemnitee’s control available for pertinent interview and testimony), so long as such cooperation does not vitiate any legal privilege to which such Indemnitee is entitled.

If the Indemnitor defends the claim, the Indemnitee may at its expense and using attorneys of its choice, participate in, but shall not have any control of, the defense of such claim. The Indemnitor shall have no liability under this ARTICLE X as to any claim for which settlement or compromise of such claim, or an offer of settlement or compromise of such claim, is made by an Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor.

 

30


Section 10.04. Procedures Related to Indemnification for Other Claims. An Indemnitee seeking indemnification under Section 10.01 or Section 10.02, as applicable, that does not involve a Third Party Claim shall, within as soon as reasonably practicable deliver to the Indemnitor, written notice (a “Direct Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the indemnification claim, provided, however, that the failure by any Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability which it may have to such Indemnitee under Section 10.01 or Section 10.02, as applicable, except to the extent that the Indemnitor has been materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of a Direct Claim Notice to (i) agree to the amount set forth in the Direct Claim Notice and pay such amount to such Indemnified Party in immediately available funds or (ii) provide such Indemnitee with written notice that it disputes its obligation to provide the indemnification sought in the Direct Claim Notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”). If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice that Indemnitor disputes its liability to the Indemnitee with respect to such claim, such claim specified in the Direct Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the matter. In the event that the controversy is not resolved within twenty (20) Business Days after the giving of the Claim Dispute Notice, the parties thereafter may pursue any and all available remedies at law (subject to the limitations and conditions provided in this Agreement).

Section 10.05. Losses Net of Insurance, Tax Benefits. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE X shall be net of any amounts recovered or recoverable with commercially reasonable efforts by the Indemnitee under insurance policies or in respect of any indemnity or contribution with respect to such Loss (including under the Transfer Agreement) and shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit (including as a result of any basis adjustment) actually realized by the Indemnitee arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss. In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss.

Section 10.06. Limitation on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Seller shall not have any liability under Section 10.01(a) unless the aggregate of all Losses for which Seller would be liable under Section 10.01(a), but for this clause (i), exceeds on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to $50,000, and then only to the extent of any such excess, (ii) Seller’s aggregate liability under Section 10.01(a) shall in no event exceed, on a cumulative basis, the Seller Liability Cap and (iii) Sellers aggregate liability under this ARTICLE X shall in no event exceed, on a cumulative basis, the Closing Consideration.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser shall only have liability under Section 10.02(e) or Section 10.02(g) only to the extent that Purchaser is entitled to seek indemnification for such liability from Strakan (or its successors or assigns) under Section 11.1 of the Strakan Agreement (without giving effect to any amendments thereto following the Closing).

 

31


(c) Following the Closing, the Parties’ rights to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE X shall, except for equitable relief and specific performance of covenants that survive Closing, be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the parties with respect to any matter arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than for claims of fraud. Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it or any of its Affiliates may have against Seller and its Affiliates arising under or based upon this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, the Product, the Acquisition, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, or any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE X).

(d) Notwithstanding any provision herein, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall in any event be liable to the other Party or any Indemnitee on account of any indemnity obligation set forth in Section 10.01 or Section 10.02 for any indirect, consequential, special, incidental or punitive damages (except punitive damages payable to a Third Party ), including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple.

Section 10.07. Termination of Indemnification.

(a) The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnitee pursuant to (i) Section 10.01(a) and Section 10.02(a), shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 10.07(b) below, and (ii) the other clauses of Section 10.01 and Section 10.02, shall not terminate; provided, however, that as to foregoing clause (i) such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the Indemnitee or the related Party thereto shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the indemnifying Party.

(b) The representations and warranties of Seller contained in ARTICLE V shall survive the Closing solely for purposes of Section 10.01(a) and shall terminate at the close of business on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (other than with respect to those representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 5.01, Section 5.02, and Section 5.08, which shall survive indefinitely), and the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in ARTICLE VII shall survive the Closing solely for purposes of Section 10.02(a), and shall terminate at the close of business on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (other than with respect to those representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 7.05, which shall survive indefinitely).

Section 10.08. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. For all Tax purposes, each of Purchaser, Seller and their respective Affiliates agrees to treat any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price received by Seller for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless a final determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code) provides otherwise.

 

32


Section 10.09. No Setoff. Purchaser shall not, and shall have no right to, setoff any Losses suffered by Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnitee against the Deferred Consideration, any Sales Milestone, any Product Royalties, or any payments to be made by Purchaser to Seller under this Agreement or any of the Other Acquisition Documents.

Section 10.10. No Double Recovery. Neither Party shall be entitled to recover the same or duplicative damages with respect to the same breach from the other Party under more than one of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. For the purposes of this Section 10.10, each Party shall be deemed to have made and received all payments made and received by its Affiliates.

ARTICLE XI

In the event that Strakan subsequently receives payment in respect of a bad debt previously deducted under (v) above, Strakan shall pay Orexo any royalty which would have been due on such sum. The transfer of Product by Strakan to an Affiliate will not be deemed a sale.

 

2.2

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Rapinyl North America Licence Agreement, Strakan shall make payment of all royalties, sales milestones and other sales based payments (if any) set forth in the Rapinyl North America Licence Agreement, that accrue on Net Sales of Product made by Strakan, its Affiliates or Sub-Licensees (i) in the case of the Orexo Territory, prior to the date on which Orexo begins to book the sales of the Product in accordance with the Transition Plan and, (ii) in the case of Mexico and Canada, prior to the Signature

2.4 Subject to Section 2.5, each Party hereby releases and discharges the other from all claims or demands under or in connection with the Rapinyl North America Licence Agreement and the Abstral Trade Mark Agreement including without limitation claims for negligence, whether arising before or on the Signature Date, in each case whether known or unknown to the releasing Party.

4.1 Following the Signature Date, the Parties shall cooperate to secure the transfer of the Regulatory Approvals from Strakan to Orexo in accordance with the Transition Plan. Strakan and Orexo shall use reasonable endeavours to complete such transfer as soon as possible after the Signature Date and in accordance with the Transition Plan.

 

4.2 Strakan will sign any notices, applications or other documents presented to it by Orexo that are necessary to transfer the Regulatory Approvals to Orexo unless Strakan reasonably believes that any document presented is misleading.

Orexo shall provide Strakan with any assistance it reasonably requires to comply with its obligations under this Section 4.3. Upon Orexo’s request, Strakan shall provide reasonable supporting documentation of Third Party Costs. Strakan shall not incur Third Party Costs without Orexo prior written approval if exceeding $1,000 per item or $5,000 in the aggregate, unless identified in a budget approved by Orexo in writing in advance. For clarity the budgeted items identified in the Transition Plan shall be deemed approved. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Transition Plan, the annual establishment and product user fees payable in 2012 shall be proportioned between the Parties such that Strakan bears the cost of such fees to the extent such fees relate to the period when Strakan books the sales and Orexo bears the remaining part of said user fees.

4.10 From the Transition Date or, if earlier, the date on which the applicable Regulatory Approval is assigned to Orexo pursuant to the Transition Plan and subject to Strakan’s obligations under this Section 4, Orexo shall be responsible for fulfilling all legal and regulatory obligations under the Regulatory Approvals, including maintaining the Regulatory Approvals.

 

4.11 Product Returns. Returns shall be the responsibility of the Party who shipped the lot with respect to which a return has occurred. During the Transition Period, Strakan shall be responsible for all Product returns.

If such corrective action or market action is necessitated by the breach by one of the Parties of any of its warranties, representations, obligations, covenants or agreements contained herein, then such Party shall be liable, and shall reimburse the other Party, for all reasonable costs incurred by the non-breaching Party in connection with such action (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses). If each of the Parties is partly responsible for such corrective action or market action, then each Party shall be responsible for its proportionate

 

15


  share of such costs. If neither Party is responsible for such corrective action or market action, then Orexo shall be responsible for such costs. Strakan shall appropriately cooperate with Orexo, including the completion of an investigation and the preparation and submission of a complaint report to Orexo or its designees. The preceding shall not be in lieu or limitation of any obligation of indemnity of a Party pursuant to Section 11.

6.1

The Stock shall transfer to Orexo as follows. Orexo shall have the right but not the obligation to purchase at its election all or part of Strakan’s Stock existing on the date on which Orexo starts to book the sales of Product in the Orexo Territory that is in Good Marketable Condition at the Landed Cost. Upon Orexo’s written request to purchase selected part of the Stock (which request shall be made no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which Orexo begins to book sales of Product in the Orexo Territory) Strakan shall provide in writing within five (5) days after such request information specifying in detail the inventory of Stock and the remaining shelf-life of the Stock to the extent such information has not previously been provided by Strakan to Orexo. Orexo may inspect the inventory of Stock, at its option within five (5) days of receiving such written information from Strakan. Orexo shall inform Strakan in writing within ten (10) days after receiving such written information (or after any inspection by Orexo whichever is later) what Stock it shall purchase. Strakan shall promptly ship the purchased Stock to Orexo or its designated Third Party at Orexo’s cost and risk. Payment for Stock so purchased by Orexo shall be made as provided in Section 6.3. Each delivery of Stock shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis for each Product batch delivered.

Any quantities of the Stock purchased by Orexo that is not in Good Marketable Condition may be returned by Orexo for a full refund of the Landed Cost paid for such Stock and reimbursement of direct costs incurred by Orexo in connection with transport of such Stock to Strakan or its destruction. Orexo shall notify Strakan in writing of any such defective Stock within (i) 30 days from delivery in the case of a defect that is apparent on normal visual inspection; or (ii) 30 days from the date on which Orexo became aware of the defect in the case of a defect that is not apparent on normal visual inspection. If Strakan does not acknowledge a defect claimed by Orexo, the parties shall endeavour to settle such disagreement in an amicable and constructive manner. In the event that the Parties fail to agree within four (4) weeks after receipt of the notice of defects, the Parties agree to nominate an independent, reputable laboratory, acceptable to both Parties, which shall examine representative examples taken from such consignment, using the methods of analysis agreed upon by both Parties, and the result shall be binding on both

 

17


  Parties. The Party whose opinion is not supported by the laboratory, shall pay the fees to the laboratory. It shall be Strakan’s responsibility at its cost to destroy any Stock that is not in Good Marketable Condition and shall provide Orexo with appropriate documentation evidencing that such destruction has taken place.

 

6.2 From the date on which the Stock is shipped to Orexo pursuant to Section 6.1 above, Orexo shall be responsible for all costs associated with storing, marketing and distributing the Stock including warehousing, insurance and transportation costs.

6.6 Orexo shall have a non-exclusive licence to use any Strakan trade marks which are present on the packaging of the Stock purchased by Orexo and to use such marks to the extent required by applicable law or regulation in the Orexo Territory to promote and sell the Stock so purchased. Such trade marks shall be used in accordance with Strakan’s reasonable instructions and Orexo shall not do or cause to be done anything which might damage, tarnish or jeopardise such trade marks and the goodwill associated with them.

If such Third Party manufacturer could, in the reasonable opinion of Strakan, be considered to be a potential generic supplier of the Product in any part of the world Strakan shall be entitled to object to such appointment provided such objection is notified to Orexo within fourteen (14) days of the date of Orexo’s notice containing the identity of the proposed Third Party manufacturer. If Strakan provides such a notice of objection Orexo will not and will procure that its Affiliates, licensees and distributors will not appoint the proposed Third Party manufacturer to manufacture the Product.

 

8.2 Licence Grant: Strakan hereby grants to Orexo, and Orexo hereby accepts, an exclusive (even as to Strakan) perpetual non-terminable paid-up sublicensable licence to develop, make or have made, use, sell, offer for sale, market and promote the Product for all uses in the United States of America under the Strakan Technology.

Note 2: 2 batches of 100ug strength were made at Pii. The second batch will be made because the first batch had assay results in specification but towards the bottom end of specification. As all these Pii batches will go on stability, it is considered prudent to have a batch of 100ug that is at least middle of specification at stability set down.
Note 3: Aliquots of Pii produced batches will be packaged at Sharp. Packaged quantities will be quantity sufficient for stability set down at Pii and not more, the balance of each batch will be maintained as bulk tablets.

Further, Orexo’s written request to purchase selected part of the Stock shall be made no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Excel Logistics Agreement (April 3, 2013), rather than ten (10) days prior to the date on which Orexo begins to book sales of Product.
