Promptly after the discovery of any Shared Assets, Auspex will provide Purchaser written notice identifying such Shared Asset(s). To the extent Auspex desires to extend the Licensed Patent Rights beyond the Licensed Patent to include foreign equivalent patents and patent applications to the Licensed Patent published, pending or allowed by the respective patent authorities identified on Schedule 2.2(d), Puretech shall have [***] following the Closing within which to notify Auspex in writing that it desires to have the Licensed Patent Rights extended to any such patents or patent applications. Within [***] of receipt by Auspex of Puretech’s timely written notice, Auspex shall cause to be filed, at Puretech’s expense, divisional applications with respect to such patents and patent applications to create foreign equivalent patents or patent applications to the Licensed Patent, and such divisionals shall be included in the Licensed Patent Rights. Purchaser has the right, but not the obligation, at its sole expense, to prosecute, maintain and enforce the Licensed Patent Rights. Teva hereby covenants to refrain from filing any further claims covering the Compound with respect to the patent family including [***] or any other patent application claiming priority anywhere in the world. Auspex and Purchaser will discuss in good faith general patent strategy, and in furtherance of that obligation, Puretech will provide copies of any submissions planned to be filed with patent authorities to Auspex sufficiently in advance to provide Auspex with reasonable time to review and provide feedback to Puretech, which feedback Puretech take under consideration.

(e) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any such Transferred Contract that is not assignable or transferable without the consent of any Person, other than Auspex, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, to the extent that such consent shall not have been given, or required hereunder, prior to the Closing (each, a “Nonassigned Contract”); provided, however, that Auspex shall use, both prior to and for [***] after the Closing, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with Auspex in connection therewith, all necessary consents to the assignment and transfer of each Nonassigned Contract; provided, further, that none of Auspex, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party in connection with such efforts. With respect to any Nonassigned Contract, for a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the time such requisite consent is obtained and such Nonassigned Contract is transferred and assigned to Purchaser and (ii) the date that is [***] after the Closing Date, Auspex shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Purchaser substantially comparable benefits thereof and shall enforce, at the request of and for the benefit of Purchaser, and at the expense of Auspex, any rights of Auspex arising thereunder against any Person, including the right to seek any available remedies or to elect to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof upon the advice of Purchaser. As a condition to Auspex providing Purchaser with benefits of any Nonassigned Contract, Purchaser shall perform, at the direction of Auspex, the obligations of Auspex thereunder.

(ii) Auspex provides no assurances to Purchaser that any consent, authorization, approval or waiver of a Third Party contemplated by this Section 2.2(e) will be granted. Subject to compliance by Auspex with the provisions of this Section 2.2(e), the Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Auspex nor its Affiliates shall be obligated to obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver hereunder and neither (i) the failure to so actually obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver in connection with the consummation of the Transactions in and of itself nor (ii) any default or termination or any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person to the extent arising out of any such failure to so actually obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver in connection with the consummation of the Transactions in and of itself shall be deemed a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Auspex contained in this Agreement to cause any condition to Purchaser’s obligations to close the Transactions to be deemed not satisfied. Under no circumstances shall the Purchase Price be reduced or Auspex or its Affiliates be subject to any liability on account of the failure to obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver.

2.3. Assumption of Certain Liabilities and Obligations. Purchaser assumes responsibility for and will pay, perform and/or otherwise discharge when due those Liabilities (including any Liabilities arising in respect of Taxes) arising out of or in connection with or related to the Transferred Assets from and after the Closing Date as set forth in Schedule 2.3 (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”), including all liabilities and expenses arising from the assignment of the Transferred IP Rights hereunder, and following the Closing Date, the ownership and use of the Transferred IP Rights and the filing, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of the Licensed

Patent Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any and all current and future Liabilities of Auspex or any of its Affiliates under the [***] Agreement will be Excluded Liabilities, including that Auspex and its Affiliates shall retain the obligation to pay to [***] as provided in [***] of the [***] Agreement with respect to which Auspex shall retain and may apply against such payment obligation [***]. The Periodic Reports furnished to Auspex by Purchaser with respect to sales of Product pursuant to Section 2.6(e) shall be in form and substance sufficient to enable Auspex [***] under the [***] Agreement in a timely manner.

2.4. Purchase Price for Transferred Assets. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, in consideration for the sale and transfer of the Transferred Assets to Purchaser, in addition to the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall pay to an account designated by Auspex, (i) on the Closing Date, an aggregate one-time, non-refundable payment in the amount of [***] (the “Upfront Payment”), (ii) the Milestone Payments as and when due and payable pursuant to Section 2.5; and (iii) the Royalties as and when due and payable pursuant to Section 2.6 (collectively, the “Purchase Price”), in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by Auspex in writing, which designation shall be made for the Upfront Payment not less than [***] prior to the Closing Date.

2.5. Milestones. As a part of the consideration for Auspex’s sale of the Transferred Assets to Purchaser hereunder, Purchaser shall pay to Auspex the following one-time milestone payments (the “Milestone Payments”) upon the first achievement of each of the events set forth on the table below (the “Milestone Events”) by the Product. Purchaser shall pay the relevant Milestone Payment within [***] of such achievement by Purchaser, its Affiliates or licensees. Such payments shall be non-refundable and non-creditable.

2.6. Royalties.

(a) As a part of the consideration for Auspex’s sale of Transferred Assets to Purchaser hereunder, Purchaser shall pay to Auspex royalties (“Royalties”) at the graduated royalty rates specified in the table below with respect to the aggregate annual worldwide Net Sales of all Products by Purchaser and its Affiliates and licensees in the Territory in a Calendar Year during the Royalty Term:


Royalties	Royalty Rate
For that portion of Calendar Year Net Sales less than or equal to $[***]:		[***]% of Net Sales
For that portion of Calendar Year Net Sales > $[*] and < $[*]:		[***]% of Net Sales
For that portion of Calendar Year Net Sales > $[***]:		[***]% of Net Sales

(b) Upon sale by a Third Party of a Generic Product in a country, the Royalty due to Auspex will be reduced by [***] for sales of Product made in that country, for as long as the Generic Product is sold in such country. If for any reason the sale of Generic Product in the country ceases, Purchaser shall resume paying Auspex the full Royalty without the offset set forth herein.

(c) If it is necessary for Purchaser to obtain a license under intellectual property rights of a Third Party in a particular country in order to research, develop, manufacture, have manufactured, market, make use, offer for sale, sell, export and import for sale, or otherwise commercialize the Product in that country respecting which a Royalty is payable to Auspex hereunder, then, in that event, the Royalty payments payable to Auspex under this Section 2.6 respecting the sale of the Product in such country to which the Third Party intellectual property rights apply shall be reduced by an amount equal to [***] of any royalties paid to such Third Party in consideration for such rights relating to such Product.

(d) In no event shall the cumulative reductions under Sections 2.6(b) and 2.6(c) reduce the royalties otherwise due to Auspex by more than [***] in any Calendar Year.

(e) No later than [***] of the Calendar Quarter in which Purchaser plans to conduct the First Commercial Sale of a Product in any country in the Territory, Purchaser shall deliver to Auspex, for the purposes of informing Auspex’ financial planning, a non-binding, good-faith rolling sales forecast of the Product for the next [***] (the “Sales Projections”). With respect to the Sales Projections, Purchaser shall have the right to provide pan-European Union sales forecasts rather than country-by-country forecasts. Within [***] after the end of each Calendar Quarter commencing from the First Commercial Sale of a Product, Purchaser shall furnish Auspex with a quarterly report (“Periodic Report”) detailing, at a minimum, the following information for the applicable Calendar Quarter, each listed by Product and by country of sale: (i) gross amounts invoiced for all sales of Products for which Royalties are owed Auspex hereunder for such Calendar Quarter, (ii) deductions by type taken from Net Sales as specified in Section 1.1, (iii) Net Sales, (iv) Royalties and Milestone Payments owed to Auspex, listed by category, (v) the currency in which the sales were made, including the computations for any applicable currency conversions pursuant to Section 2.6(g), (vi) all other data enabling the Royalties payable to be calculated accurately, and (vii) a detailed summary of progress against each development and commercial Milestone, an estimate of the timing of the achievement of the next development and commercial Milestone and applicable Sales Projections on a country-by-country basis. Once the First Commercial Sale of a Product has occurred, Periodic Reports shall be provided to Auspex whether or not Royalties or Milestone Payments are payable for a particular Calendar Quarter. In addition to the foregoing, upon Auspex’s reasonable request, Purchaser shall provide to Auspex such other information as may be reasonably requested by Auspex, and shall otherwise cooperate with Auspex as reasonably necessary, to enable Auspex to verify Purchaser’s compliance with the payment and related obligations under this Agreement, including verification of the calculation of amounts due to Auspex under this Agreement and of all financial information provided or required to be provided in the reports.

(f) On the date prescribed for the submission of each Periodic Report, Purchaser shall pay the Royalties due to Auspex for the reported period. All payments under this Agreement shall be computed and paid in United States Dollars.

(g) With respect to Net Sales invoiced in United States Dollars, the Net Sales and the amounts due to Auspex hereunder shall be expressed in United States Dollars. With respect to Net Sales invoiced in a currency other than United States Dollars, the Net Sales shall be expressed in the domestic currency of the entity making the sale, together with the United States Dollars equivalent, calculated based on the average conversion rate existing in the United States (as reported in The Wall Street Journal) for the Calendar Quarter for which remittance is made for Royalties. For purposes of calculating the Net Sales thresholds set forth in Section 2.6, the aggregate Net Sales with respect to each Calendar Quarter within a Calendar Year shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rates for the Calendar Quarter in which such Net Sales occurred, in a manner consistent with the exchange rate procedures set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

2.7. VAT; Withholding and Similar Taxes. All amounts to be paid to Auspex pursuant to this Agreement are exclusive of any applicable taxes, including value added tax. Purchaser shall add taxes if and as required by law, to all such amounts. If applicable Laws require that taxes be withheld from any amounts due to Auspex under this Agreement, Purchaser shall gross up its payments to Auspex by any such amount. Auspex shall cooperate with Purchaser in claiming exemptions from such deductions or a reduced withholding tax rate as allowable under any agreement or treaty from time to time in effect.

2.8. Records. Purchaser shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and licensees to keep, books of account that are complete and correct in all material respects and in accordance with GAAP enabling the Royalties and Milestone Payments, and all corresponding deductions, to be calculated accurately. Purchaser shall, and shall require and cause its Affiliates and licensees to, retain the such books of account for [***] after the end of each Calendar Year during the Royalty Term and, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, for [***] after the end of the calendar year in which such termination becomes effective, and shall be kept at each of their principal place of business and shall be open for inspection and audit in accordance with Section 2.9 below.

2.9. Audit. Auspex shall be entitled to appoint, at its sole expense, a certified public accountant or other professional as appropriate and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (the “CPA Representatives”) to inspect, not more than once a Calendar Year, during normal business hours Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ books and records contemplated by Section 2.8 above, including all books of account, records and other relevant documentation to the extent relevant or necessary for the sole purpose of verifying compliance with the payment and related obligations under this Agreement, the calculation of amounts due to Auspex under this Agreement and of all financial information required to be provided in the Periodic Reports, provided that Auspex shall coordinate such inspection with Purchaser or its Affiliate (as the case may be) reasonably in advance. In addition, Auspex may require that Purchaser, through the CPA Representatives, inspect, at Auspex’s expense, during normal business hours the books and records contemplated by Section 2.8 above, including all applicable books of account, records and other relevant documentation of any licensees, not more than once a Calendar Year, to the extent relevant or necessary for the sole purpose of verifying the compliance with the payment obligations under this Agreement, the calculation of amounts due to Auspex under this Agreement and of all financial information provided in the Periodic Reports, and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such inspection to be performed. Prior to making any inspection or audit pursuant to this Section 2.9, the CPA Representatives shall sign a confidential agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. The Parties shall reconcile any underpayment or overpayment within [***] after the CPA Representatives deliver the results of the audit to Auspex and Purchaser. The results of such inspection, if any, shall be binding on both Parties. Any underpayment shall be subject to interest in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11, below. Any overpayments shall be fully creditable against amounts payable in subsequent payment periods during the Royalty Term, or if such overpayments are identified following the Royalty Term, then such overpayments shall be refunded within [***] of receipt of the corresponding audit results. In the event that any inspection of Purchaser aforesaid reveals any underpayment by Purchaser to Auspex in respect of any Calendar Quarter of this Agreement in an amount exceeding [***] of the amount actually paid by Purchaser to Auspex in respect of such Calendar Quarter, then Purchaser shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of such inspection. Any underpayments or overpayments under this Section 2.9 shall be subject to the currency exchange provisions set forth in Section 2.6(g) as applied to the Calendar Quarter during which the payment obligations giving rise to such underpayment or overpayment were incurred by Purchaser.

2.10. Blocked Payments. In the event that, by reason of Applicable Law in any country, it becomes impossible or illegal for Purchaser to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, payments owed Auspex hereunder, Purchaser shall promptly notify Auspex of the conditions preventing such transfer and such payments shall be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of Auspex in a recognized banking institution designated by Auspex or, if none is designated by Auspex within a period of [***], in a recognized banking institution selected by Purchaser, as the case may be, and identified in a written notice given to Auspex.

2.11. Interest Due. Any sum of money due to Auspex which is not duly paid on time shall bear interest from the due date of payment until the actual date of payment at the rate of [***], or the maximum applicable legal rate, if less, computed for the actual number of days the payment was past due. If the LIBOR rate is no longer published, the Parties will agree upon another internationally recognized rate which has historically been substantially equivalent to the one (1) month LIBOR rate and utilize such rate retroactively to such time as the rate was no longer available.

2.12. Diligence. Purchaser shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, at Purchaser’s sole expense and in its sole discretion, to develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize the Product in at least one of (i) the U.S., (ii) one or more countries of the EU or (iii) Japan. Purchaser shall deliver to Auspex no later than the end of the first calendar quarter of each calendar year until FDA approval for the first Product a summary of its development efforts for the prior twelve (12) months (each such report, an “Annual Report”).

2.13. Certain Costs.

(a) All costs and fees associated with transferring to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates the Transferred IP Rights conveyed to Purchaser hereunder shall be borne by Purchaser.

(b) All costs and expenses associated with removing and moving any Transferred Asset to a location designated by Purchaser shall be borne and paid solely by Purchaser when due.

Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2(d), the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by Purchaser, and the consummation of the Transactions by Purchaser, do not require any consent or approval of, or any notice to or other filing with, any Governmental Authority, except for consents, approvals, notices and filings the failure of which to obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material and adverse effect on the ability of Purchaser to consummate the Transactions.

(e) Legal and Binding Nature. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws and equitable principles related to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

(f) Litigation. There is no suit, claim, action, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates which if adversely determined would materially interfere with the ability of Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder.

(g) Debarred Entities. Purchaser has not, is not currently and will not in the future use, in any capacity, in connection with the performance of its duties or obligations hereunder, the services of any Debarred Entity. Purchaser further represents that neither Purchaser nor any of its officers, employees or Affiliates have been (i) threatened to be debarred, or (ii) convicted of a crime for which a person can be debarred under 21 U.S.C. § 335(a) or (b). Purchaser shall immediately notify Auspex in writing if either Purchaser or any Person who is performing services on its behalf hereunder is or becomes a Debarred Entity or if any action, claim, investigation, or other legal or administrative proceeding is pending or, to the best of Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened, that would make Purchaser or any Person performing services hereunder a Debarred Entity.

(h) No Brokers. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has any liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or other agent with respect to this Agreement for which Auspex could become liable or obligated or which could result in an Encumbrance being filed against any Transferred Asset.

(i) Inspection; No Other Representations. Purchaser has undertaken such investigation and has been provided with and has evaluated such documents and information as it has deemed necessary to enable it to make an informed and intelligent decision with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is relying exclusively on the representations set forth in Section 4.1 and its own examination and investigation of the Compound and the Products and that it is not relying on any other statements or documents.

ARTICLE V

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

5.1. Condition of the Transferred Assets.

(a) As of the Closing, Purchaser and its Representatives will have made all inspections and investigations relating to the Compound, the Products and the Transferred Assets deemed necessary or desirable by Purchaser. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) it is purchasing the Transferred Assets based on the results of such inspections and investigations, and not on any representation or warranty of Auspex or any of its Affiliates not expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and (b) the Transferred Assets are sold “as is, where is” and Purchaser accepts the Transferred Assets

in the condition that they are in and at the place where they are located on the Closing Date. In light of such inspections and investigations, and the representations and warranties expressly made to Purchaser by Auspex in this Agreement and the certificates and other documents delivered pursuant hereto, PURCHASER AGREES THAT THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES GIVEN HEREIN BY AUSPEX ARE IN LIEU OF, AND PURCHASER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY OTHERWISE BE APPLICABLE BECAUSE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OR ANY OTHER LAWS, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

(b) Any claims Purchaser may have for breach of representation or warranty shall be based solely on the representations and warranties of Auspex expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the certificates and other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto.

5.2. Regulatory Commitments.

From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser will assume control of, and responsibility for, all costs and liabilities arising from or related to any commitments or obligations to any Governmental Authority involving the Compound and/or Products (“Regulatory Commitments”) only to the extent arising from or relating to events occurring after the Closing Date.

5.3. Further Action; Consents; Filings.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each of Purchaser and Auspex will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain from the requisite Governmental Authorities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained or made in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other advisable submissions, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement required under any Applicable Laws.

5.4. Bulk Transfer Laws. Purchaser hereby waives compliance by Auspex with the provisions of any so called “bulk transfer law” of any jurisdiction in connection with the transfer of the Transferred Assets to Purchaser, it being understood that any Liabilities arising out of the failure of Auspex to comply with the requirements of any provisions of any so-called “bulk transfer law” of any jurisdiction shall be treated as Excluded Liabilities.

5.5. Insurance. As of the Closing Date, the coverage under all insurance policies of Auspex and its Affiliates shall continue in force only for the benefit of Auspex and its Affiliates, and not for the benefit of Purchaser or any of its Representatives. As of the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees to arrange for its own insurance policies with respect to the Transferred Assets covering all periods and agrees not to seek, through any means, to benefit from any of Auspex’s or its Affiliates’ insurance policies which may provide coverage for claims relating in any way to the Transferred Assets.

5.6. Support. Following the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Auspex, on the other hand, shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the defense or settlement of any Liabilities or lawsuits involving the Transferred Assets, the Compound, the Products, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, in each case for which the other Party has responsibility under this Agreement, by providing the other Party and such other Party’s legal counsel reasonable access to employees, records, documents, data, equipment, facilities, products, parts, prototypes and other information relating primarily to the Transferred Assets, the Compound or the Products, as such other Party may reasonably request, to the extent maintained or under the possession or control of the requested Party; provided, however, that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the business of Purchaser or Auspex, or any of their respective Affiliates; provided, further, that either Party may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that (a) such restriction is required by Applicable Law, (b) such access or provision of information would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of confidentiality obligations to a third party or (c) disclosure of any such information would result in the loss or waiver of the attorney-client privilege. The requesting Party shall reimburse the other Party for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid by the other Party to Third Parties in performing its obligations under this Section 5.6.

5.7. Payments from Third Parties. In the event that, on or after the Closing Date, either Party shall receive any payments or other funds that are rightly due and payable to the other pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, then the Party receiving such funds shall promptly forward such funds to the proper Party. The Parties acknowledge and agree that there is no right of offset regarding such payments and a Party may not withhold funds received from Third Parties for the account of the other Party in the event there is a dispute regarding any other issue under any of the Transaction Documents.

5.8. Resale Exemption Certificates and Transfer Taxes. At the Closing (or within such reasonable time thereafter as may be necessary to perfect the resale or other exemption certificates), Purchaser shall deliver to Auspex fully completed and executed resale exemption certificates or other applicable exemption certificates for all jurisdictions identified by Auspex prior to Closing as jurisdictions in which inventory is to be transferred and for which resale exemption certificates are necessary to comply with Applicable Laws; provided that if any such exemption certificates are not available in a jurisdiction or not sufficient to avoid the imposition of sales or use Taxes, such Taxes shall be equally shared between the Parties. Auspex and Purchaser further agree that any Transfer Taxes (and related interest and penalty) other than those described in the preceding sentence assessed by any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be shared equally between the Parties.

5.9. Payments Under Transferred Contracts.

(a) If Auspex or its Affiliates receives any deposit or payment prior to the Closing that relates to obligations under any Transferred Contract to be performed or satisfied after the Closing by Purchaser, then Auspex shall pay to Purchaser, within [***] following the Closing Date, an amount equal to the portion of such deposit or payment in advance that relates to such obligations to be performed after the Closing.

(b) If Auspex or its Affiliates receives any good or service prior to the Closing under any Transferred Contract that is billed to Purchaser after the Closing, upon request and presentation of reasonable supporting documentation, Auspex shall reimburse Purchaser for the amount of such payment within [***] following the date of such request.

(c) If Auspex or its Affiliates makes any deposit or payment prior to the Closing in respect of supplies of goods not received prior to the Closing under any Transferred Contract, Purchaser shall reimburse to Auspex or its Affiliate, within [***] following the Closing Date, an amount equal to the portion of such deposit or payment that relates to the goods to be received after the Closing by Purchaser.

5.10. No Patent Challenge; Covenant Not to ▇▇▇. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, Auspex on behalf of itself and its Affiliates covenants and agrees (i) not to challenge or contest the validity or enforceability of any of the intellectual property rights (including the Patents) included in the Transferred Assets and (ii) not to assert any claim or initiate any legal or other action against Purchaser or its Affiliates based on any intellectual property rights or other technology now owned or hereafter acquired by Auspex or its Affiliates to prohibit or otherwise adversely affect the continued development or commercialization of any Products.

5.11. Further Assurances. Each Party agrees, from and after the Closing, upon the reasonable request of the other Party, and at the expense of the requesting Party, to make, execute and deliver any or all documents or instruments of any kind or character, and to perform all such other actions, that may be necessary or proper and reasonable to effectuate, confirm, perform or carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

6.1. Indemnification by Auspex. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, including Sections 6.4 and 6.5, Auspex shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Purchaser and its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, stockholders, employees and agents of such entities and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”), from and against any and all losses, Liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) from any claims, Actions, suits or proceedings (“Claims”), including those brought by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee, arising from, or occurring as a result of (i) any breach by Auspex of any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement other than Fundamental Reps; (ii) any breach by Auspex of any Fundamental Reps; (iii) any breach by Auspex of its covenants set forth this Agreement; or (iv) any and all Excluded Liabilities.

6.2. Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, including Sections 6.4 and 6.5, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Auspex and its Affiliates and the directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents of such entities and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Auspex Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses (including Losses arising from Claims, including Third Party Claims) incurred by any Auspex Indemnitee, arising from, or occurring as a result of: (i) any breach by Purchaser of its representations and warranties other than Fundamental Reps set forth in this Agreement; (ii) any breach by Purchaser of any Fundamental Reps; (iii) any breach by Purchaser of its covenants set forth this Agreement; or (iv) any and all Assumed Liabilities.

6.3. Procedure. All Claims for indemnification under this Article VI shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) In the event that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) has a Claim against any Party obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 (the “Indemnitor”) arising from a Third Party Claim, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) The Indemnitee shall with reasonable promptness notify the Indemnitor of such Third Party Claim, specifying the nature of such Third Party Claim and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim) (the “Claim Notice”). The Indemnitee’s failure to give reasonably prompt notice as required by this Section 6.3 of any Third Party Claim which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability which the Indemnitor may have to the Indemnitee, except to the extent the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnitor.

(ii) If any Indemnitee asserts a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall, within [***] from delivery of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”), notify the Indemnitee (A) whether or not such Indemnitor disputes the liability to the Indemnitee hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim and (B) if such Indemnitor does not dispute such liability, whether or not the Indemnitor desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor, to defend against such Third Party Claim, provided that, upon prior written notice to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee is hereby authorized (but not obligated) prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading and to take any other action which the Indemnitee reasonably shall deem necessary to protect the Indemnitee’s interests. If, and for so long as, (w) the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee within the Notice Period that the Indemnitor does not dispute the Indemnitor’s obligation to indemnify hereunder and desires to defend the Indemnitee against such Third Party Claim, (x) the Third Party Claim does not (1) seek equitable relief or any other non-monetary remedy against the Indemnitee or (2) involve any Governmental Authority as a party thereto and (y) an adverse resolution of the Third Party Claim would not have a material adverse effect on the goodwill or reputation of any Indemnitee or the business, operations or future conduct of any Indemnitee, then except as hereinafter provided, such Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against such Third Party Claim by appropriate proceedings with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or diligently prosecuted by such Party to a final conclusion; provided that, unless the Indemnitee otherwise agrees in writing, the Indemnitor may not settle any matter (in whole or in part) unless such settlement (I) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee and its Affiliates in respect of the Third Party Claim, (II) involves no admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates and (III) excludes any injunctive or non-monetary relief applicable to the Indemnitee or its Affiliates. If the Indemnitee desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement the Indemnitee may do so at its sole cost and expense.

(iii) If (A) the Indemnitor elects not to defend the Indemnitee against such Third Party Claim, or fails to promptly settle or diligently defend such Third Party Claim, or (B) the terms of this Agreement do not permit the Indemnitor to defend the Indemnitee against such Third Party Claim, or (C) the Indemnitee reasonably believes upon the advice of counsel that there are issues that raise actual or potential conflicts of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee, or (D) the Indemnitee has different or additional defenses available to it, then the Indemnitee, without waiving any rights against the Indemnitor, may settle or defend against any such Third Party Claim in the Indemnitee’s sole and absolute discretion and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnitor the amount of any settlement or judgment and, on an ongoing basis, all Losses of the Indemnitee with respect thereto, including interest from the date such Losses were incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any Losses incurred as a result of a settlement of such Third Party Claim if the Indemnitee did not obtain the Indemnitor’s written consent to such settlement (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied).

(b) With respect to any Claim for indemnification not involving a Third Party Claim, within [***] after receipt of a Claim Notice that does not involve a Third Party, the Indemnitor shall by written notice (the “Response Notice”) to the Indemnitee either (i) concede liability in whole as to the claimed amount, (ii) deny liability in whole as to such claimed amount or (iii) concede liability in part and deny liability in part as to such claimed amount. If the Parties are not able to resolve any dispute over such a claim within [***] after the receipt of a Response Notice denying liability in whole or in part, such Dispute shall be subject to the decision of a neutral arbiter agreeable to both Parties.

6.4. Survival. If the Closing shall have occurred, all covenants, agreements, warranties and representations made herein or in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein or in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto, and all indemnification obligations under Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, with respect to any such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, shall (a) in the case of any such representations or warranties other than Fundamental Reps, terminate and expire on, and no action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any thereof or for any misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect thereto, shall be commenced after, the date that is [***] after the Closing Date; provided, however, that such an action or proceeding may be commenced after such date if prior to such date a claim for indemnification with respect thereto shall have been made, with reasonable specificity, by written notice given in accordance with Section 6.3; (b) in the case of Fundamental Reps, survive until [***] after the latest date such representation or warranty is allowed to survive by the applicable statute of limitations; and (c) in the case of any such covenants or agreements, terminate and expire on, and no action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any thereof shall be commenced after, the date that is [***] after the last date on which such covenant or agreement is to be performed; provided, however, that such an action or proceeding may be commenced after such date if prior to such date a claim for indemnification with respect thereto shall have been made, with reasonable specificity, by written notice given in accordance with Section 6.3.

6.5. Certain Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VI, neither Party shall have—except for Losses arising from Third Party Claims, which are excluded from the limitations contained in this paragraph—indemnification obligations for Losses under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, as applicable, in excess of the aggregate amount of Purchase Price paid or payable by Purchaser to Auspex under this Agreement.

(b) The amount which the Indemnitor is required to pay to, for or on behalf of the Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VI shall be reduced by any foreign, federal, state, provincial or local income Tax benefit actually realized to the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates applicable to the indemnifiable damages in the Tax year the damages are incurred or in the immediately following Tax year.

(c) In the event any Losses by any Indemnitee are covered by insurance or any indemnity, contribution or other similar right against a Third Party, such Indemnitee agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under such insurance or indemnity, contribution or similar right; provided, however, such Indemnitee shall have no obligations to commence any litigation to seek any such recovery. If the Indemnitee receives any insurance proceeds or other amounts in respect of the matter giving rise to any Claim of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor’s indemnification obligation with respect to the Claim shall be reduced by the amount of any such insurance proceeds and other amounts actually received by the Indemnitee.

6.6. Exclusive Remedy.

(a) This Article VI provides the exclusive means by which a Party may assert and remedy Claims under or with respect to this Agreement except for equitable relief as may be necessary for specific performance of this Agreement. Each Party hereby waives and releases any other remedies or claims that it may have against the other Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to the matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or relating to the Compound, the Products or the Transferred Assets, except that nothing herein shall limit the remedy of any Party hereto for fraud. With respect to any Losses arising under this Agreement, Purchaser agrees that it shall only seek such Losses from Auspex, and Purchaser hereby waives the right to seek Losses from or equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief, against any Affiliate of Auspex or any director, officer or employee of Auspex (or any of its Affiliates).

(b) Any payment made by Purchaser as the Indemnitor pursuant to this Article VI will constitute a dollar-for-dollar decrease of the Purchase Price and any payment made by Auspex as the Indemnitor pursuant to this Article VI will constitute a dollar-for-dollar increase of the Purchase Price. Each Party shall within a reasonable time, if necessary, request all amendments to its current or past Tax Returns to reflect such increase or decrease.

ARTICLE VII

7.3. Permitted Use. Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party shall be kept strictly confidential by the Receiving Party and, except as expressly permitted herein, shall not be disclosed to any third Person by the Receiving Party in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without first obtaining the other Party’s prior written consent to such disclosure. The standard of care required of each Party in protecting the confidentiality of the other Party’s Confidential Information shall be at least the same as the standard of care that the Receiving Party uses in protecting its own confidential and trade secret information, but in no event shall either Party use less than a reasonable standard of care. Except as expressly provided herein, Confidential Information may be used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of performing this Agreement.

7.4. Authorized Disclosure. Each Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information (a) to its Representatives who reasonably need to know such information for the purposes of advising or assisting in connection with the performance of this Agreement; provided that, prior to disclosure of any Confidential Information hereunder to any Representative, the Receiving Party shall inform such Representative of the proprietary nature of the Confidential Information and its obligations to protect such information hereunder; (b) to any Person required by a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental body of a country or any political subdivision thereof of competent jurisdiction; provided that the Receiving Party shall first have given notice to the Disclosing Party of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek, with the reasonable cooperation of the Receiving Party, a reasonable opportunity to quash such order or to obtain a protective order requiring that the Confidential Information and/or documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court or governmental body or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued; and (c) as otherwise required by law or regulation, in the opinion of counsel to the Receiving Party.

7.5. Excluded Information. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the requirements of this Article VII shall not apply to any information of either Party which (a) at the time of disclosure hereunder is available to the public; (b) after the date of disclosure hereunder becomes generally available to the public, except through a breach of this Article VII by the Receiving Party or its Representatives; (c) is independently developed by the employees or agents of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates without use of or reference to the Confidential Information as demonstrated by written evidence; or (d) is received from a third Person without restriction and without breach of any agreement between such third Person and the Disclosing Party.

7.6. Obligations Upon Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, each Party shall immediately discontinue use of any Confidential Information of the other Party and cause all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession to be returned to the Disclosing Party or destroyed; provided, however, that each Party shall be entitled to (a) use such Confidential Information for the performance of any of its outstanding obligations hereunder and (b) retain one copy of such Confidential Information for its record keeping purposes; provided, further, that such Party shall continue to be subject to its obligations hereunder with respect to such Confidential Information.

7.7. Rights Upon Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. Each Party agrees that the unauthorized use or disclosure of any information by the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement will cause severe and irreparable damage to the Disclosing Party. In the event of any violation of this Article VII, the Disclosing Party is authorized and entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or monetary damages, as well as any other relief permitted by Applicable Law. The Receiving Party agrees to waive any requirement that the Disclosing Party post a material bond as a condition for obtaining any such relief.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

8.1. Successors and Assigns. Neither Party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including by sale of stock, operation of law in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all of the assets, without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that (a) Auspex may, without such consent, assign its rights or obligations to an Affiliate and (b) Purchaser may, without such consent, assign its rights to acquire the Transferred Assets hereunder, in whole or in part, to one or more of its Affiliates; provided, however, that no such assignment by Purchaser or Auspex, as applicable, shall relieve Purchaser or Auspex of any of their obligations hereunder. Any permitted assignee shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 8.1 shall be null and void.

8.2. Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge that the failure to comply with a covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement may give rise to irreparable injury to a Party inadequately compensable in damages.

8.3. Press Releases; Disclosures.

The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule to this Agreement shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by any Party, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material and adverse effect on the ability of Purchaser to consummate the Transactions, as applicable, or is required to be disclosed under this Agreement.

8.6. Severability. Should any part or provision of this Agreement be held unenforceable or in conflict with Applicable Law, the invalid or unenforceable part or provision shall, provided that it does not go to the essence of this Agreement, be replaced with a revision which accomplishes, to the extent possible, the original commercial purpose of such part or provision in a valid and enforceable manner, and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and binding upon the Parties hereto.

8.7. Waiver. No waiver of a breach or default hereunder shall be considered valid unless in writing and signed by the Party giving such waiver and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the same or similar nature.

8.8. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing except in writing executed by duly authorized representative of the Parties. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar). No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

8.9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any litigation arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the federal and state courts located in the City and County of New York, NY and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
