on or prior to 20 December, 2023 (such payment, the “Early Specified WC/Cash Payment”);

3.Miscellaneous.

(b)Confession of Judgment. Without limiting or modifying the Confessing Parties’ and their respective Affiliates’ (including Biocon’s) obligations under the Transaction Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, including Biocon’s obligations under Section 1.05 of the Transaction Agreement), Biocon UK and Biosimilars Newco hereby severally acknowledge in respect of themselves only that they are obligated, severally (and not jointly and severally), in the case of Biocon UK to cause the payment of the Irish Future Cash Payment and in the case of Biosimilars Newco to cause the payment of the ROW Future Cash Payment, in each case, in the amounts and by the dates set forth in the Transaction Agreement.
