Section 1.11 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares held by a holder who has demanded and perfected such demand for appraisal of such holder’s Company Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and/or, if applicable by virtue of Section 2115 of the CCC, Chapter 1300 et. seq. of the CCC, and as of the Closing has neither effectively withdrawn nor lost such holder’s right to such appraisal (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, in accordance with Section 1.5, but shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by the DGCL or the CCC. Parent shall be entitled to retain any Merger Consideration not paid on account of such Dissenting Shares pending resolution of the claims of such holders, and the holder of any Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to any portion thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.11(a), if any holder of Company Shares who demands appraisal of such holder’s shares under the DGCL or the CCC, as applicable, shall effectively withdraw or lose (through the failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s right to appraisal, then, as of the Closing or the occurrence of such event, whichever later occurs, such holder’s Company Shares shall automatically be converted into the right to receive, promptly following the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such Company Shares, the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, as provided in Section 1.5.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, and that has not been exercised prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto:

(i) a number of Parent Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Company Common Shares subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Underlying Company Shares”) by (ii) the sum of (A) the Per Share Stock Participation less (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the exercise price per Underlying Company Share (the “Option Exercise Price”) by (II) the Parent Stock Price; provided, however, in no event shall such number of Parent Shares be less than zero (0); provided, further, that the Option Exercise Price shall be reduced by application of this Section 1.12(a)(i) by the cash value of the Per Share Stock Participation (as determined based on the Parent Stock Price), with any positive remainder of the Option Exercise Price after such reduction being referred to herein as the “Remaining Exercise Price”;

(iii) an amount of cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Underlying Company Shares by (ii) the sum of (A) the Contingent Per Share Participation Cash plus (B) the Contingent Per Common Share Cash plus (C) the Contingent Per Share Cash, if and when payable (such amount, an “Option Contingent Payment”). The parties agree that any payment of the Option Contingent Payment, if any, payable with respect to Company Options will be treated and reported for all tax purposes as being subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) until such amounts become due and payable under the Agreement and shall be paid to the holders of Company Options entitled to such payments within the short-term deferral period within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).

Section 1.13 Milestone Payments.

(a) Following the occurrence (or deemed occurrence pursuant to the definitions in Annex A) of any of the events set forth in Annex A under “Milestone Event” (each a “Milestone”), whether achieved by or on behalf of Parent or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees or any Milestone Obligor, Parent shall, within thirty (30) Business Days following each such event, deposit or cause to be deposited the amount of cash in U.S. dollars set forth in Annex A under “Milestone Payment” opposite such Milestone (each, a “Milestone Payment”) to an account designated in writing by the Paying Agent. The Equityholders Representative shall cause the Paying Agent to pay such amount to the Equityholders in accordance with Section 1.5 and Section 1.12, in each case subject to any right of set-off pursuant to Section 8.6 and less (i) any withholding on such amount by Parent pursuant to Section 1.8(g) and (ii) the portion of such amount, if any, that would otherwise be paid with respect to Dissenting Shares; provided, however, that the Milestone Payments shall be subject to withholding for the escrow provisions set forth in Section 1.10. Each of the Milestone Payments shall be payable one (1) time only on the initial achievement of the applicable Milestone. The maximum aggregate amount of Milestone Payments that may be payable by Parent is $280,000,000. Once a Milestone Payment has been paid as directed by the Equityholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 1.13(a), Parent shall have no further obligations to any Person, including, without limitation, the Equityholders, with respect to the portion of the Milestone Payment so paid, other than to reasonably cooperate with the Equityholders’ Representative to process and pay, through its or its Affiliate’s payroll system, any portion of such Milestone Payment that constitutes an Option Contingent Payment payable to Company Optionholders who are current or former employees and subject to Tax withholding, and to perform its obligations pursuant to Section 8.6.

(b) Each Milestone Payment as well as each distribution to the Equityholders from the General Escrow Fund and Designated Escrow Fund, and from the Expense Fund, shall be allocated under Section 1.5 (after taking into account any amounts previously made pursuant to Section 1.5(c)(i), Section 1.5(c)(ii), Section 1.5(c)(iii), Section 1.5(c)(iv), Section 1.5(d)(i) and Section 1.5(d)(ii)) among the Equityholders as follows:

(i) first, to the Equityholders allocated on a pro rata basis among the Equityholders based their owned Company Securities as of immediately prior to the Effective Time until each holder of Company Preferred Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time has received pursuant to Section 1.5 (without allocating to the Equityholders any amounts deposited in the General Escrow Fund or the Designated Escrow Fund or the Expense Fund) an amount equal to $2.86 per share of Company Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Cap”);

-13-

(ii) second, once the Preferred Cap has been satisfied, to the holders of Company Common Shares and Company Optionholders outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time allocated on a pro rata basis among such holders based on their owned Company Common Shares and Company Options as of immediately prior to the Effective Time until each holder of Company Common Shares issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time has received pursuant to Section 1.5 (without allocating to the Equityholders any amounts deposited in the General Escrow Fund or the Designated Escrow Fund or the Expense Fund) an amount equal to $2.86 per Company Common Shares (the “Common Catch-Up”); and

(iii) third, once the Common Catch-Up has been satisfied, to the Equityholders allocated on a pro rata basis among the Equityholders based on their owned Company Securities as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

For the avoidance of doubt, if any portion of a Milestone Payment is subject to a setoff pursuant to Section 8.6, then the foregoing shall apply to the portion of the Milestone Payment as they are paid to the Equityholders.

(c) Parent shall (i) on the first (1st) Business Day following the Closing, make an amount of cash available to the Surviving Corporation equal to $3,500,000 and (ii) following the Closing, use its Diligent Efforts to assist the Surviving Corporation in obtaining funding necessary to enable the Surviving Corporation to cause the Milestones to occur. “Diligent Efforts” shall mean the level of efforts required to carry out such obligation in a sustained manner consistent with the efforts a similarly situated biopharmaceutical company typically devotes to products of similar market potential, project potential or strategic value, based on conditions then prevailing.

(d) The right of the Equityholders to receive the Milestone Payments (i) is solely a contractual right and will not be evidenced by a certificate, does not constitute a security, or other instrument, (ii) may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, except by will or intestacy, by operation of law, (iii) does not represent any equity or ownership interest in Parent or in any constituent company to the Merger or any of their respective Affiliates, (iv) does not give the Equityholders any right to receive interest payments and (v) shall (together with any Milestone Payments actually made) be treated by the parties as consideration in respect of Company Shares or Company Options, as applicable, for applicable income tax purposes, except for any amount required by Law to be treated as interest. Without limiting the obligations of Parent under this Section 1.13 (including the obligations to pay the Milestone Payments when due), there is no guaranty or other assurance of any kind that any Milestone Payments will become payable hereunder (regardless of any projections, models forecasts or any other financial data generated by, or provided to, the Company, the Equityholders, Parent or their respective representatives).

(e) Commencing upon the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and their respective Affiliates and each Milestone Obligor to use Diligent Efforts to cause each Milestone to be achieved.

-14-

(f) Following the Closing, for so long as a Milestone Payment may become payable hereunder, Parent shall cause to be delivered a status update to the Equityholders’ Representative within thirty (30) days following each anniversary of the Closing Date (each such report, an “Update Report”). Parent shall cause each Update Report to include a reasonably detailed outline of the status of efforts to cause the occurrence of each outstanding Milestone during the period covered by such Update Report and, commencing upon the first commercial sale of the first Company Product, the cumulative Net Sales of each Company Product.

(i) All information contained in any Update Report, or conveyed to the Equityholders’ Representative in any meeting or other communication regarding an Update Report, shall be subject to a confidentiality agreement to be entered into by Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative in customary form as reasonably agreed to by Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative. The Equityholders’ Representative shall not disclose any information included in any such Update Report except as permitted in such confidentiality agreement and except to Equityholders and any limited partners of such Equityholders who have executed a confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality provisions with respect to any information provided with respect hereto that are no less protective than the provisions contained in the confidentiality agreement referred to in the preceding sentence, and the Equityholders’ Representative shall cause Parent to be named as third-party beneficiaries of such provisions with the right to enforce such provisions.

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of an Update Report, if the Equityholders’ Representative in good faith requests a meeting with representatives of Parent to discuss such report, Parent shall make reasonably available during normal business hours for such a meeting at least one (1) employee with operating responsibility for the activities (whether at Parent or the Surviving Corporation) and related to the development, regulatory and other activities for the Company Product(s). The Equityholders’ Representative may not request more than one (1) such meeting in respect of any Update Report.

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, during the period commencing on the first sale of a Company Product anywhere in the world and continuing until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Equityholders of all Milestone Payments, and (ii) the third anniversary of the cessation of all sales of all Company Products, Parent and its Affiliates (each, an “Audited Party”) shall, once during any fiscal year, permit an accountant appointed by the Equityholders’ Representative, and reasonably acceptable to Parent, at reasonable times during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to examine such books and records as may be necessary for the purpose of verifying the calculation of the Net Sales of Company Products during the period covered by the applicable audit. The accountant shall disclose to the Equityholders’ Representative and to Parent, based on its inspection of the applicable records, whether such Net Sales have been accurately calculated, and if not, the amount and nature of any discrepancy discovered. The accountant shall disclose no other information revealed in such audit, and Parent may require such accountant to enter into a reasonable and customary confidentiality agreement with respect to the records examined by such accountant. The Equityholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Equityholders) shall pay for any such audit pursuant to Section 9.1(d).

(2) If Parent complies with the terms of this Section 1.13(h) and the Significant Pharmaceutical Company and Parent enter into an Assumption Agreement (and the assignment and assumption contemplated thereby is consummated) that complies with the terms in Section 1.13(h)(i)(1) (including that all of the Total Milestone Rights are assigned and transferred to the Significant Pharmaceutical Company), then Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be fully and forever released with respect to, and the Equityholders shall look solely to such Significant Pharmaceutical Company for the performance of, the obligations of Parent to achieve the Milestones and make the Milestone Payments pursuant to the Milestone Provisions that were not payable at such time; provided, however that (i) Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Equityholders’ Representative to process and pay, through its or its Affiliate’s payroll system, any portion of the Milestone Payments that constitute an Option Contingent Payment payable to the Company Optionholders who are current or former employees and subject to Tax withholding; (ii) Parent shall continue to be responsible for any Milestone Payments owed prior to such transfer; and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be so released if a Significant Pharmaceutical Company fails to be bound by and obligated to perform all of the Milestone Provisions (other than as a result of bankruptcy) due to the invalidity or failure of such Assumption Agreement or the assignment and assumption contemplated thereby (as determined at the time of the applicable assignment and assumption).

-16-

(ii) Other Milestone Obligors. If Parent wishes to transfer any Milestone Rights to a Milestone Obligor in a manner that does not comply with all of the terms of Section 1.13(h)(i)(1), Parent shall remain responsible for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Section 1.13, including any obligation assigned to and assumed by such Milestone Obligor, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Equityholders’ Representative on behalf of the Equityholders.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, the only obligations of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their Affiliates, and the only rights of the Equityholders’ Representative for the benefit of Equityholders, and any other Persons, in each case, with respect to the funding of the Surviving Corporation and the efforts required to cause the Milestones to be achieved, are as expressly provided solely in the Milestone Provisions and no other provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable thereto unless referenced in the Milestone Provisions.

If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and any agreement entered into in connection herewith or to vest the Surviving Corporation or Parent with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such lawful and necessary action.

Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request, cost and expense) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees or agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Section 4.1(d).

(e) Tax Contests. After the Closing, Parent and the Company shall promptly inform the Equityholders Representative in writing of the commencement of any claim, audit, investigation, examination, or other proceeding relating in whole or in part to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which any Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification from the Equityholders under this Agreement (“Tax Contest”). After the Closing Date, Parent shall have the exclusive right to represent the interests of Company in any and all Tax Contests; provided, however, that the Equityholders Representative shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest and to employ counsel (at the expense of the Equityholders) of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent) for purposes of such participation. In the event that Parent proposes to compromise or settle any Tax Contest, or consent or agree to any Tax liability in connection with a Tax Contest, relating to the Company that would result in an indemnification obligation by the Equityholders, the Equityholders Representative shall have the right to review such proposed compromise, settlement, consent or agreement. Parent shall not agree or consent to compromise or settle any Tax Contest on a basis that would result in a Tax liability of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or liability of the Equityholders for indemnification under this Agreement unless the Equityholders Representative consents to such settlement, compromise or concession, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(f) Transfer Taxes. Any Taxes or recording fees payable as a result of the purchase and sale of the Company Common Shares or any other action contemplated by this Agreement (other than any federal, state, local or foreign Taxes measured by or based upon income or gains imposed upon Parent) shall be borne equally by (i) the Stockholders on the one hand, and (ii) Parent, on the other. The parties shall reasonably cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications and other documents regarding Taxes and all transfer, recording, registration and other fees that become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are required or permitted to be filed at or prior to the Closing.

(g) Termination of Tax Allocation, Indemnity or Sharing Agreements. Before or in connection with the Closing, any Tax allocation, indemnity or sharing agreement between the Company and any other Person shall be terminated as to the Company on or prior to the Closing Date, and after the Closing Date neither the Company nor Parent shall have any liability thereunder.

(h) Taxes for a Straddle Tax Period. In the case of any Taxes that are imposed for a Straddle Tax Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the number of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended at the end of the Closing Date.

(i) Closing of the Company Tax Year. The parties acknowledge that the taxable year of the Company will end for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the end of the day on the Closing Date pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b) by reason of Parent including the Company on Parent’s U.S. federal consolidated income Tax Return beginning on the day after the Closing Date.

(j) Closing of the Company Tax Year. The parties acknowledge that the taxable year of the Company will end for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the end of the day on the Closing Date pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b) by reason of Parent including the Company on Parent’s U.S. federal consolidated income Tax Return beginning on the day after the Closing Date.

(k) Tax Treatment. The parties intend that the Merger will be in connection with, and pursuant to the same plan as, the contribution of shares of capital stock of Scilex to Parent such that one hundred percent (100%) of such shares of Scilex have been contributed to Parent (the “Contribution”) by the stockholders of Scilex. Parent, Merger Sub, Sorrento and the Company intend that the Contribution, together with the Merger contemplated herein, will qualify as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code.

Section 4.2 Legends. Each book-entry security entitlement representing any Parent Shares (or any other securities issued in respect of such shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event) issued to or held by any Equityholder in accordance with the terms hereof or the Escrow Agreement shall bear the following legends (in addition to any other legends required by law, Parent’s certificate of incorporation, Parent’s bylaws or any other agreement to which such Equityholder is a party):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

-57-

This legend shall be removed by Parent from any book-entry security entitlement evidencing Parent Shares upon delivery by the holder thereof to Parent of a written request to that effect if at the time of such written request (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legended security or (b) the legended security can be transferred in a transaction in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and, in the case of (b), upon the request of Parent, the holder of such Parent Shares (x) executes and delivers a representation letter that includes customary representations regarding the holding requirements and whether such holder is an “affiliate” for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and/or (y) secures the delivery to Parent of an opinion by counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, that such security can be freely transferred in a public sale without registration pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which Parent issued the Parent Shares.

Section 4.3 Stockholder Approvals; Notice to Stockholders.

(a) Within two (2) hours after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Parent duly executed Stockholder Written Consents from Stockholders pursuant to such solicitation that are sufficient to fully and irrevocably deliver the Required Company Stockholder Vote. The Company shall ensure that the Stockholder Written Consents are obtained in compliance with, and are valid and effective under, Section 228 of the DGCL and the Organizational Documents of the Company.

(b) Contemporaneously with the Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Stockholder that did not execute and deliver a Stockholder Written Consent the notice required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL, which notice shall include the notice to stockholders required by Section 262 of the DGCL (and under any other applicable Law regarding appraisal rights of stockholders) of the approval of the Merger and that appraisal rights are available.

Section 4.4 Director and Officer Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, and until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company to Persons who on or prior to the Effective Time are or were directors and/or officers of the Company (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) pursuant to any indemnification, exculpation and advancement provisions under the Organizational Documents of the Company as in effect on the date hereof and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and such Company Indemnified Parties existing as of the date hereof, in each case, to the extent true and complete copies of which have been made available to Parent prior to the date hereof, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, the foregoing obligations shall be subject to any limitation imposed by applicable Law. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) cause the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the Organizational Documents of the Company as of the date hereof, and during such six (6)-year period, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable Law.

-58-

(b) The Company has purchased a six (6)-year “tail” fully prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy which covers only those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof and only for matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (a “D&O Tail Policy”). The Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such D&O Tail Policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder. To the extent doing so would not conflict with the D&O Tail Policy, the Company Indemnified Parties shall seek recovery from the D&O Tail Policy (if and to the extent such recovery is available at such time) prior to seeking recourse from Parent or the Surviving Corporation.

(c) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 4.4.

(d) Each of the Company Indemnified Parties (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 4.4, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Company Indemnified Parties (and their heirs and representatives) under this Section 4.4 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificates of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

(e) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the obligations provided for in this Section 4.4 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims.

-64-

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, other than as provided for in clause (ii) of the proviso in Section 8.2(d), (i) the Indemnifying Parties’ aggregate liability and obligations under Section 8.1(a)(i), other than with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation or the Specified IP Representations (such matters described in this clause (i) are referred to collectively as the “General Indemnification Matters”), shall be limited to recovery by the Indemnified Parties against the amount then available in the General Escrow Fund plus, to the extent claims for Fundamental Indemnification Matters that have been satisfied in accordance with this Agreement by reducing the General Escrow Fund on or prior to the Final Escrow Release Date (such reduction in the aggregate, the “Fundamental Matter Escrow Amount”), an additional amount equal to the Fundamental Matter Escrow Amount (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that (x) all indemnification claims for General Indemnification Matters that are satisfied outside the General Escrow Fund (whether directly by the Equityholders or pursuant to the setoff rights in Section 8.6) shall be counted towards and reduce the Fundamental Matter Escrow Amount, and (y) claims for General Indemnification Matters shall still be subject, when viewed in the aggregate, to a cap equal to the aggregate amount of General Escrow Property placed in the General Escrow Fund prior to the expiration of the Final Escrow Period and prior to any reduction thereof, valuing the Parent Shares at the Parent Stock Price) and (ii) each Indemnifying Party’s aggregate liability and obligations under this Article VIII shall not exceed the portion of the Merger Consideration actually received by such Indemnifying Party (in addition to the forfeiture of the portion of the Merger Consideration paid to the Indemnified Parties from the General Escrow Fund, the Designated Escrow Fund or through the exercise of the setoff rights set forth in Section 8.6) (with the Parent Shares being valued at the Parent Stock Price). All indemnification obligations under Section 8.1(a) that are not General Indemnification Matters or Specified IP Matters are referred to herein as “Fundamental Indemnification Matters”. The Specified IP Matters and the Fundamental Indemnification Matters are collectively referred to herein as the “Designated Indemnification Matters.”

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, other than as provided for in clause (ii) of the proviso in Section 8.2(d), the Indemnifying Parties’ aggregate liability and obligations under Section 8.1(a)(i) with respect to the Specified IP Matters, shall be limited to the setoff rights of the Indemnified Parties set forth in Section 8.6 and recovery from amounts held in the Designated Escrow Fund.

(d) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification for Losses pursuant to this Article VIII (subject to the limitations set forth herein) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties from and after the Effective Time for any claims or Losses arising under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including claims of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) this Section 8.2(d) shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall limit any Indemnifying Party’s liability for fraud committed by such Indemnifying Party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

-65-

(e) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the Effective Time, the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to double recovery pursuant to this Article VIII for any adjustments to the Merger Consideration provided for hereunder or for any prior indemnifiable matter pursuant to this Article VIII to the extent they have been previously satisfied.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company is not making and shall not be construed to have made, and the Equityholders shall not have any liability or obligation (i) with respect to, any representation or warranty as to the amount of, or any Indemnified Party’s ability to use after the Closing Date, any net operating losses, Tax credits, Tax basis or other Tax attribute, (ii) for any Taxes resulting from any election made under Section 338 of the Code (or any similar or analogous provision of Tax law) with respect to the Merger, or (iii) for any Taxes resulting from any action outside the ordinary course of business and not specifically contemplated by this Agreement taken by the Company or Parent after the Closing on the Closing Date.

(g) All Losses for which any Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be reduced by the net amount of insurance proceeds or other third party recoveries to which any Indemnified Party actually recovers in respect of any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party (net of any costs of recovery and any increased premiums resulting therefrom). In the event that any such insurance proceeds or other third party recoveries are actually recovered by an Indemnified Party subsequent to receipt by such Indemnified Party of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds or other third-party recoveries relate, then such amounts recovered (net of any costs of recovery and any increased premiums resulting therefrom and up to the amount first recovered by the Indemnified Parties) shall be paid promptly by the relevant Indemnified Parties to the Indemnifying Parties (or, if such indemnification payments were paid from the General Escrow Fund or the Designated Escrow Fund and such refund becomes payable pursuant to this Section 8.2(g) prior to the release of such fund, to the General Escrow Fund or the Designated Escrow Fund).

(h) Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification or set-off pursuant to this Article VIII, and “Losses” shall not include, any special, punitive, exemplary, consequential, or similar damages, unless such special, punitive, exemplary, consequential or similar damages are owed to a non-Affiliated third party.

(i) To the extent required by applicable Law, Parent shall (and shall cause each Indemnified Party to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses after becoming aware of any event which may give rise to any Losses in respect of which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII.

-66-

Section 8.3 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Promptly following receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice by a third party that is not an Indemnified Party (including any Governmental Body) of any complaint, dispute or claim or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall provide written notice thereof to the Equityholders’ Representative (a “Notice of Third-Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such complaint, dispute, claim, audit, investigation action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so provide a Notice of Third-Party Claim to the Equityholders’ Representative shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under this Article VIII with respect to such Third-Party Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to so provide a Notice of Third-Party Claim to the Equityholders’ Representative materially prejudices the rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable cooperation with the Equityholders’ Representative in connection with such the Third-Party Claim, including, in cases in which Parent or the Surviving Corporation is the Indemnified Party, by providing the Equityholders’ Representative with reasonable access to books, records, employees and officers (including as witnesses) of Parent or the Surviving Corporation.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice from the Equityholders’ Representative delivered to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of the applicable Notice of Third-Party Claim acknowledging and agreeing to the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII in respect of such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim that (i) affects any Intellectual Property Rights that the Company owns or has a right to use in the conduct of its business as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted by the Company as of the Closing and by Parent after the Closing, (ii) is asserted directly by or on behalf of any Person that is a supplier or a customer of the Company, the Indemnified Party or their Affiliates, (iii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, (iv) involves a finding of any violation of Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, the Company or their Affiliates, (v) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, or (vi) does not seek only monetary damages and, in the case of this clause (vi), the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third-Party Claim would be detrimental to or materially injure the reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnified Party. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim on the terms of this Section 8.3(b) or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such thirty (30) day period, or thereafter defaults in continuing to defend the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall thereafter have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) In any Third-Party Claim for which indemnification is being sought under this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such party’s own expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim and there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to the subject matter of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Equityholders’ Representative or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter, the defense of which it is maintaining, and to cooperate in good faith with the other party with respect to the defense of any such matter.

-67-

(d) Subject to the limitations set forth in Schedule 8.3(d), any settlement or compromise of any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought under this Article VIII by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Equityholders’ Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Equityholder, such Equityholder), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall not be determinative of whether the Indemnified Party has the right to be indemnified pursuant to this Article VIII, or the amount of Losses recoverable in respect of such matter. An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought under this Article VIII unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of, or related to, such Third-Party Claim, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.

(e) In the event an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant to this Article VIII with respect to any Loss not involving a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the Equityholders’ Representative (and in the event that recourse is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) (a “Notice of Direct Claim”). Such Notice of Direct Claim shall specify the basis for such Direct Claim. In the event the Equityholders’ Representative does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such Notice of Direct Claim that the Equityholders’ Representative disputes the Indemnifying Parties’ liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII and, if stated in such Notice of Direct Claim, the amount thereof, the Equityholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have consented to the Direct Claim solely to the extent that such claim is made against the amounts held in the General Escrow Fund, the Designated Escrow Fund or satisfied through the exercise of the setoff rights set forth in Section 8.6. In the event the Equityholders’ Representative (or in the event that recourse is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) has disputed its liability with respect to such Direct Claim as provided in this Section 8.3(e), as promptly as reasonably practicable, such Indemnified Party and the Equityholders’ Representative or Indemnifying Party, as applicable shall establish the merits and amount of such Direct Claim (by mutual agreement, litigation or otherwise) and, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the merits and amount of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, pay to the Indemnified Party in immediately available funds an amount equal to such Direct Claim as determined pursuant to this Section 8.3(e); provided that any such foregoing payments (i) if settled (or deemed consented to) by the Equityholders’ Representative, shall be made exclusively from, and shall not exceed the amount then available in, the General Escrow Fund, the Designated Escrow Fund or otherwise satisfied through the exercise of the setoff rights set forth in Section 8.6 and (ii) if settled by an Indemnifying Parties, any such foregoing payments shall be paid exclusively by such consenting Indemnifying Parties. If any such dispute cannot be resolved within thirty (30) days of the date the Indemnifying Party disputes or is deemed to have disputed such Direct Claim, then any Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party may commence an arbitration proceeding for the purposes of resolving such dispute pursuant to Section 10.5. If a dispute exists as to the amount of any Direct Claim, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable legal and other fees paid in asserting or defending such Direct Claim, as the case may be. This Section 8.3 shall not apply to any claim with respect to Taxes.

-68-

Section 8.4 Satisfaction of Losses. In the event any Indemnified Party shall suffer any Losses for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII (subject to the limitations set forth herein), such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover such Losses (a) first, by the reduction of the number of Parent Shares (with each such Initial Escrow Share being valued at the Parent Stock Price) and amount of cash being held as General Escrow Property pursuant to Section 1.10 and the Escrow Agreement until no General Escrow Property remains, (b) second, with respect to (i) Designated Indemnification Matters, and (ii) the General Indemnification Matters (to the extent permitted pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.2(b) (if and to the extent applicable)), by the reduction of Retained Milestone Amounts in accordance with Section 8.6 and (c) third, with respect to the Designated Indemnification Matters, recovery against the amounts then held in the Designated Escrow Fund and (d) fourth, with respect to (i) Fundamental Indemnification Matters and (ii) General Indemnification Matters, to the extent permitted pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.2(b) (if and to the extent applicable), directly from each Indemnifying Party in accordance with such Indemnifying Party’s Indemnification Pro Rata Share.

Section 8.5 Survival and Claims Periods. The representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company in this Agreement shall not be extinguished by the Closing, but shall survive the Closing for, and all claims for indemnification in connection therewith may not be asserted later than, twelve (12) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1(a) (Organization and Good Standing), Section 2.2 (Capitalization), Section 2.3(a) (Subsidiaries), Section 2.4(a) (Authority) and Section 2.19 (Brokerage and Finders), shall survive the Closing without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall be indefinite; (b) each of the representations contained in Section 2.8 (Taxes) shall survive the closing for, and all claims for indemnification in connection therewith shall be asserted not later than the 90th day following the end of the period, if any, during which an assessment, reassessment or other form of document assessing liability for Taxes in respect of any taxation year to which these representations and warranties extend could be issued to the Company (together with the representations and warranties in the preceding clause (a), the “Fundamental Representations”) and (c) each of the Specified IP Representations shall survive the Closing for, and all claims for indemnification in connection therewith shall be asserted not later than, five (5) years following the Closing Date (such date, the “Designated Survival Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day a claim for indemnification may be asserted under this Article VIII the Equityholders’ Representative and the Indemnifying Parties (with respect to direct claims against the Indemnifying Parties, if applicable) shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity pursuant to Section 8.3 that is an Unresolved Claim, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity under this Article VIII until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All representations and warranties made by Parent and Merger Sub shall terminate and expire as of the Closing, and any liability of Parent and Merger Sub with respect to cease.

-69-

Section 8.6 Set-Off.

(a) If at the time a Milestone Payment becomes due and payable (but has not been paid) (i) an Indemnified Party has duly delivered pursuant to Section 8.3 a Notice of Direct Claim or Notice of Third-Party Claim with respect to any Fundamental Indemnification Matter or a Specified IP Matter, in each case, that constitutes an Unresolved Claim and (ii) the amount of Losses that the Indemnified Parties reasonably anticipates to be entitled to in satisfaction of the claims set forth therein (subject to the limitations in this Article VIII) with respect to such Fundamental Indemnification Matter or Specified IP Matters (the “Anticipated Fundamental Losses”) exceeds the amount then available to satisfy indemnification claims in the General Escrow Fund and the Designated Escrow Fund (after taking into account all other Unresolved Claims for indemnification from the General Escrow Fund and/or the Designated Escrow Fund made by Indemnified Parties delivered pursuant to Section 8.3), then (A) the amount of the Milestone Payment to be paid at such time shall be reduced by the amount such Anticipated Fundamental Losses are greater than the amount then available to satisfy indemnification claims in the General Escrow Fund and the Designated Escrow Fund (the aggregate amount of all Anticipated Fundamental Losses withheld from a Milestone Payment, the “Retained Milestone Amount”)) pending the resolution of such Unresolved Claim in accordance with this Agreement, (B) Parent shall, subject to the deposit of the applicable Milestone General Escrow Property or Designated Escrow Property with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 1.10, distribute the remaining portion of such Milestone Payment in accordance with Section 1.13 and (C) Parent shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) provide the Equityholders’ Representative with written notice of the reduction of any Milestone Payments pursuant to this Section 8.6(a).

(b) Subject to Section 8.4, following the final resolution pursuant to this Agreement of such claim for indemnification with respect to the applicable Fundamental Indemnification Matter or Specified IP Matters for which a Retained Milestone Amount was retained, (A) if Parent has been finally determined pursuant to such resolution to have suffered aggregate indemnifiable Losses under this Article VIII with respect to such claim (subject to the limitations set forth herein) in an amount less than such Retained Milestone Amount after taking into account the amount of such Losses to be satisfied from the General Escrow Fund or the Designated Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 8.4, then Parent shall, within ten (10) days after such final resolution, pay (or shall cause to be paid) the portion of the Retained Milestone Amount not used to satisfy such indemnifiable Losses to the Paying Agent, for further distribution to the Equityholders in accordance with Section 1.13 in the respective amounts they would have been entitled to receive had such amount not been so retained.

Section 8.7 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. Parent and the Equityholders agree to treat any payment made under this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

Article IX
EquityHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIVE

Section 9.1 Equityholders’ Representative.

(a) The Equityholders, by the approval and adoption of this Agreement and without any further action of any of the Equityholders or the Company, hereby appoint the Equityholders’ Representative as agent and attorney in fact for the Company and each Equityholder, and authorize the Equityholders’ Representative (i) to take all action necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, or the defense and/or settlement of any claims for which the Equityholders may be required to indemnify Parent or any other Indemnified Party pursuant to Article VIII, (ii) to give and receive all notices required to be given to the Equityholders’ Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Stockholder Related Agreements, (iii) to review, negotiate and authorize delivery to Parent of the General Escrow Property and the Designated Escrow Property in satisfaction of claims by Parent and set off of Milestone Payments pursuant to Section 8.6, (iv) object to such claims pursuant to this Agreement, (v) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, contest, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with Orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, such claims, resolve any such claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Equityholder or necessary in the judgment of the Equityholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, (vi) consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Equityholders and (vii) to make decisions on behalf of the Equityholders and take any and all additional action as is contemplated to be taken by or on behalf of the Equityholders by the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including, without limitation regarding (A) indemnification claims, Direct Claims, Third-Party Claims, Notices of Third-Party Claims and Notices of Direct Claims and (B) amendments to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Stockholder Related Agreements (other than the Non-Competition Agreements), provided that the Equityholders’ Representative shall not be authorized to (1) receive notice of, or take action on behalf of the applicable Indemnifying Party in the event that recourse is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party, (2) agree to make any Indemnifying Party directly liable for any Losses in respect of a claim for indemnification that is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party or (3) treat any of the Equityholders in a manner that is different or disproportionate from one another (the “Limits on Authority”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Equityholders’ Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Equityholders, except as expressly provided herein and in the Escrow Agreement, the Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Equityholders’ Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule. The Person serving as the Equityholders’ Representative may be removed or replaced from time to time, or if such Person resigns from its position as the Equityholders’ Representative, then a successor may be appointed, by the holders of a majority in interest of the aggregate value of property then held in the General Escrow Fund upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Parent. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Equityholders’ Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

-71-

(b) Subject to the Limits on Authority, all decisions and actions taken by the Equityholders’ Representative in accordance with this Article IX, including without limitation (i) agreements between the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent relating to the defense or settlement of claims for which the Equityholders may be required to indemnify Parent pursuant to Article VIII and (ii) agreements between the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent relating to the Escrow Agreement or the determination of Parent’s payment obligations under Section 1.5 or Section 1.13 or any other matter relating to Article I, shall be binding upon all of the Equityholders and each such Equityholder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Equityholder, and no Equityholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(c) Certain Equityholders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with the Equityholders’ Representative to provide direction to the Equityholders’ Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Engagement Agreement (such Equityholders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Equityholders’ Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Equityholders’ Representative Group”) shall have any liability or obligation to any of the parties to this Agreement or to the Equityholders for any act done or omitted pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Engagement Agreement as the Equityholders’ Representative while acting in good faith, without gross negligence or willful misconduct, and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Equityholders shall severally and not jointly indemnify and defend the Equityholders’ Representative Group and hold the Equityholders’ Representative Group harmless against any damage, loss, cost, liability, fees or expenses (including fees, disbursements and costs of counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement) incurred by the Equityholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Equityholders’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Engagement Agreement (collectively, the “Representative Losses”), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred, provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Equityholders’ Representative, the Equityholders’ Representative will reimburse the Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. If not paid directly to the Equityholders’ Representative by the Equityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Equityholders’ Representative first from the Expense Fund, and second, from any distribution of the General Escrow Fund, Designated Escrow Fund or Milestone Payment otherwise distributable to the Equityholders at the time of distribution; provided, that while this section allows the Equityholders’ Representative to be paid from the Expense Fund, General Escrow Fund, Designated Escrow Fund or Milestone Payment, as the case may be, this does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Equityholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. The Equityholders acknowledge that the Equityholders’ Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Equityholders’ Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Equityholders’ Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Equityholders’ Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Equityholders’ Representative in performing such actions.

-72-

(d) Subject to the Limits on Authority, the Equityholders’ Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Equityholder to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Equityholders under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Stockholder Related Agreements (other than the Non-Competition Agreements).

(e) The Equityholders, by approval and adoption of this Agreement, agree, in addition to the foregoing, and solely to the extent consistent with Section 9.1(a), that:

(i) Parent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Equityholders’ Representative as to (A) the settlement of any claims for indemnification by Parent pursuant to Article VIII, (B) actions taken in respect of indemnification claims, Direct Claims, Third-Party Claims and Notices of Claims, and (C) any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Equityholders’ Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any Stockholder Related Agreement (other than the Non-Competition Agreements), and no Equityholder shall have any cause of action against Parent for any action taken by Parent in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Equityholders’ Representative;

(ii) all actions, decisions and instructions of the Equityholders’ Representative taken in accordance with this Article IX shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and all of the Equityholders and no Equityholder shall have any cause of action against the Equityholders’ Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Equityholders’ Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement except for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by the Equityholders’ Representative in connection with the matters described in this Article IX;

(iii) the provisions of this Article IX are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Equityholder may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Stockholder Related Agreements; and

-73-

(iv) the provisions of this Article IX and all actions taken by the Equityholders’ Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Engagement Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal Representatives, personal Representatives, successor trustees and successors of each Equityholder as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Equityholder, and any reference in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to an Equityholder or the Equityholders shall mean and include the successors to the rights of the Equityholders under this Agreement, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

(f) The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Equityholders’ Representative Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Equityholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Equityholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the General Escrow Fund.

(g) The Equityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Closing Spreadsheet, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Equityholder or other party.

(h) The Expense Fund will be used for the purposes of (i) paying directly or reimbursing the Equityholders’ Representative for any third-party expenses pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Engagement Agreement and any agreement ancillary hereto and (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group. The Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Equityholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Equityholders’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Equityholders’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Equityholders’ Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) following the reasonable determination by the Equityholders’ Representative that the Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the amount remaining in the Expense Fund to the Paying Agent, for further distribution to the Equityholders in accordance with the allocations provided in Section 1.13(b), provided, that Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Equityholders’ Representative to facilitate the payment of any portion of such payment that is payable to Company Optionholders who are current or former employees and subject to Tax withholding through Parent’s or its Affiliate’s payroll system.

The place of arbitration shall be San Diego, California. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

“Marketing Approval” means all approvals, licenses, registrations or authorizations of the Competent Authorities in a country, necessary for the marketing and sale of the Company Product in such country, including the approval of an MAA or an NDA, and excluding pricing and reimbursement approvals.

“NDA” means a new drug application for the approval of a Company Product as a new drug by the FDA.

“Net Sales” shall not include any consideration received with respect to a sale, use or other disposition of any Company Product in a country for Development purposes or as samples or for Compassionate Use, at a price no greater than the manufacturing costs of the quantities so sold, used or disposed of. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amounts invoiced for the sale of Company Products by (a) Parent, its Affiliates, or their Sublicensees among Parent, its Affiliates or their respective Sublicensees or (b) any Milestone Obligor or its Affiliates among such Milestone Obligor or its Affiliates, as applicable, for resale shall not be included in the computation of Net Sales hereunder and Net Sales shall be the gross invoice or contract price charged to the Third Party customer for that Company Product in an arms’ length transaction, less the Permitted Deductions. With respect to any sale of a Company Product in a given country other than in an arm’s length transaction, for purposes of calculating Net Sales under this Agreement, such Company Product will be deemed to have been sold at the average Net Sales price charged to Third Parties for sales in such country in arms’ length transactions during the applicable calendar quarter (or if there were no such sales in such country during such calendar quarter, at the fair market value as determined by comparable markets). All of the foregoing elements of Net Sales calculations shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the calculation. In the event that a Company Product is sold as a fixed dose or co-packaged combination with other therapeutically active pharmaceutical compound(s) at a single price (a “Combination Product”), Net Sales from the sale of such Combination Product will be calculated for each applicable calendar quarter by multiplying the Net Sales (as determined without reference to this paragraph) of such Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B), where (i) A is the average gross selling price in the applicable country of the Company Product and (ii) B is the average gross selling price in the applicable country of the other therapeutically active pharmaceutical compound(s) included in such Combination Product, each when sold separately in finished form, during the applicable calendar quarter or, if sales of the Combination Product and the separate product(s) did not occur during such calendar quarter, the most recent calendar quarter in which sales of such products occurred. In the event that the average gross selling price(s) cannot be determined for A or B, the Net Sales attributable to the Company Product shall be reasonably allocated between A and B based on their relative fair market values.

-3-

“Sublicensees” means a Third Party which is a licensee or sublicensee of some or all of the rights with respect to a Company Product; provided that, for sake of clarity, Sublicensees do not include (a) wholesalers, distributors or similar entities performing similar functions, in each case who do not promote the Company Product sold to it and (b) Parent’s or Sorrento’s Affiliates.

“Third Party” means any person or entity other than Sorrento, Parent and their respective Affiliates.
