ARTICLE II
PURCHASE AND SALE; LICENSE GRANTS

Section 2.01 Purchase and Sale of Purchased Assets.

(a) Purchased Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Seller shall (and shall cause each of its Affiliates to) sell, convey, transfer and assign to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from the Seller and its Affiliates, all of the Seller’s and its Affiliates’ right, title, and interest in the Purchased Assets, free from any Encumbrances except for Permitted Encumbrances.

(b) Excluded Assets. Other than the Purchased Assets, the Purchaser expressly understands and agrees that it is not purchasing or acquiring, and the Seller is not selling, conveying, transferring, or assigning, any other assets or properties of the Seller (or any of the Seller’s Affiliates), and all such other assets and properties shall be excluded from the Purchased Assets (the “Excluded Assets”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Excluded Assets include all books and records of the Seller and its Affiliates (other than books and records that constitute Regulatory Documentation or are otherwise specifically included in the definition of Purchased Assets); provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to make copies of any portions of such retained books and records that expressly relate to any of the Purchased Assets.

(c) Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall, effective upon the Closing, assume (and shall pay, perform and discharge when due) all Assumed Liabilities.

(d) Excluded Liabilities. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, the Purchaser will not acquire any interest in, or obligations in respect of, any Liabilities of the Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates (the “Excluded Liabilities”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all Liabilities arising out of or relating to any breach of an Acquired Contract by Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing, or any unauthorized use or disclosure of Eisai’s confidential information by Seller or any of its Affiliates, shall be Excluded Liabilities and not Assumed Liabilities.

(e) Consents.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement does not constitute an agreement to sell, convey, assign, assume, transfer or deliver any interest in any Acquired Contract that would be a Purchased Asset (other than the Acquired Contracts listed on Schedule 2.01(e), any required Consents with respect to which shall be obtained prior to Closing), or any claim or right of any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted direct or indirect assignment thereof, or agreement to sell, convey, assign, assume, transfer or deliver any such Acquired Contract, without the Consent of any Third Party, (A) would violate applicable Laws or constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such Third Party (including any Governmental Authority), or (B) would be ineffective with respect to any party to such Acquired Contract (each such Acquired Contract, other than those listed on Schedule 2.01(e)), a “Non-Assignable Contract”). If any direct or indirect transfer or assignment or agreement to do so by the Seller (and/or the Seller’s Affiliates, as applicable) of, or any direct or indirect assumption by the Purchaser of, any interest in, or liability, obligation or commitment under, any Non-Assignable Contract requires the Consent of a Third Party, then such transfer, assignment or assumption or agreement to do so shall be made subject to such Consent being obtained.

(ii) The Purchaser acknowledges that certain Consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from counterparties to Non-Assignable Contracts and that such Consents may not be obtained prior to Closing. In the event that such required Consent is not obtained with respect to a Non-Assignable Contract, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees that the Seller shall not have any Liability whatsoever arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain such Consent that may have been or may be required with respect to such Non-Assignable Contract in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that Seller complies with its obligations under in Section 2.01(e)(iii). The Purchaser further agrees that, provided that Seller complies with its obligations under in Section 2.01(e)(iii), no representation, warranty or covenant of the Seller contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition to the Purchaser’s obligations to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed not satisfied, as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any such Consent with respect to a Non-Assignable Contract; or (ii) any Legal Proceeding commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Consent with respect to a Non-Assignable Contract.

(iii) If any Consent referred to in Section 2.01(e)(i) is not obtained prior to the Closing with respect to a Non-Assignable Contract, the Closing shall nonetheless take place without any adjustment of the Purchase Price on account thereof, and thereafter each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts (A) to endeavor to obtain such Consent (provided that neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall be required to expend money, commence, defend or participate in any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party), and (B) to cooperate, upon written request of the Purchaser, in endeavoring to obtain for the Purchaser, at no cost to the Seller, an arrangement to provide to the Purchaser, in compliance with Law, substantially comparable benefits thereof. Upon obtaining the requisite Consent, such Non-Assignable Contract shall be transferred and assigned to the Purchaser hereunder, for no additional consideration.

(f) Transfer of Purchased Assets. As soon as practicable following the Closing (and in no event later than [***] ([***]) Business Days after the Closing), the Seller shall make available to the Purchaser electronically all Purchased Assets held electronically. Within [***] ([***]) Business Days after the Closing, the Seller shall make available to the Purchaser all tangible Purchased Assets for pick-up at the Seller’s facilities, at the Purchaser’s sole cost, expense and risk; provided, that if the Seller finds, locates, discovers or otherwise becomes aware that it possesses any Purchased Assets after the Closing, the Seller shall reasonably promptly notify the Purchaser in writing and make such Purchased Assets available for pick-up at the Seller’s facilities, at the Purchaser’s sole cost, expense and risk.

(g) Proration Schedule. Schedule 2.01(g) (the “Proration Schedule”) sets forth certain deposits and other prepaid items, which includes certain expenses that Seller or its respective Affiliates have paid or that are required to be paid by the Seller (or their applicable Affiliates) by Law or contractual obligation, and which shall be prorated as of the Effective Date. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the Purchaser’s Prorated Portion, which amount is set forth on the Proration Schedule. Any amounts set forth in the Proration Schedule that are owed to a Third Party that have not been paid by the Seller prior to the Closing Date will be paid by the Seller following the Closing Date and shall remain the Liability of the Seller.

Section 2.02 Further Expenses and Studies; Other Commitments. After the Closing, the Purchaser shall be responsible for any and all of its further developmental activities relating to Products and the Compound, including the Proof of Concept Plan and all expenses relating thereto.

ARTICLE III

PURCHASE PRICE

Section 3.01 Purchase Price.

(a) Amount. The aggregate consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Assets to be paid by the Purchaser (the “Purchase Price”) shall be:

(i) A non-refundable, non-creditable amount equal to Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000.00) in respect of the Purchased Assets (the “Upfront Payment”) and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities;

(ii) the Milestone Payments, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.01(b); and

(iii) the Quarterly Earn-Out Payment(s), as and to the extent provided in Section 3.01(c) (including as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(iv)(A));

(iv) any Licensee Consideration Payments, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.01(c)(iv)(B); and

(v) the Purchaser’s Prorated Portion.

(b) Milestone Payments. As consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Assets, in addition to the Cash Consideration, the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, the Quarterly Earn-Out Payments and the Licensee Consideration Payments, and subject to this Section 3.01(b), the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the following non-refundable, non-creditable amounts (each, a “Milestone Payment”) upon the achievement by or on behalf of the Purchaser or its Affiliates, Licensees or Transferees, if any, of the following events (each, a “Milestone Event”):

	Table 3.01(b)
No.	Milestone Event	Milestone Payment
1.	Upon Regulatory Approval of the first Product by the FDA in a CTCL Indication	$[***]
2.	Upon a European Approval of the first Product in a CTCL Indication	$[***]
3.	Upon Regulatory Approval of the first Product by the Health Canada in a CTCL Indication	$[***]
4.	Upon Regulatory Approval of the first Product by the FDA in a PTCL Indication	$[***]
5.	Upon a European Approval of the first Product in a PTCL Indication	$[***]
6.	Upon Successful Proof of Concept	$[***]
7.	Upon Regulatory Approval by the FDA of the first Product in an I/O Indication	$[***]
8.	Upon the achievement of $[***] in cumulative Net Sales.	$[***]
9.	Upon the achievement of $[***] in cumulative Net Sales.	$[***]

Each Milestone Payment set forth in this Section 3.01(b) is payable only once (i.e., the first time the Milestone Event is achieved) and is non-refundable once paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for the purposes of calculating Milestone No. 8 and Milestones No. 9 above, Licensee Net Sales shall not be included in such calculation (other than in cases where Purchaser has granted a Licensee generating such Licensee Net Sales a license to all rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and all Products throughout (A) [***] or (B) [***] (an “Entire Rights License”)).

(c) Quarterly Earn-Out Payments; Licensee Consideration Payments.

(i) As consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Assets, in addition to the Cash Consideration, the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, the Milestone Payments and the Licensee Consideration Payments, and subject to this Section 3.01(c), commencing on the Effective Date, each Quarter for the duration of the Earn-Out Term for a given Product in a given country of the Territory, Purchaser shall pay to the Seller non-refundable, non-creditable amounts with respect to such Product in such country, based upon the cumulative Net Sales of each Product in the applicable countries of the Territory in the applicable Calendar Year to which such Quarter relates (each payment a “Quarterly Earn-Out Payment”). Such Quarterly Earn-Out Payment shall be calculated: (A) in the case of Licensee Net Sales, in accordance with Section 3.01(c)(iv)(A) below; and (B) in the case of any Net Sales of Products other than Licensee Net Sales, by multiplying the applicable rate set forth in Table 3.01(c) below (the “Quarterly Earn-Out Rate”) by the aggregate Net Sales (other than Licensee Net Sales) of Product in the applicable countries of the Territory in an applicable Quarter; and, in each case (for both of the preceding clauses (A) and (B)), applying any applicable reductions under Section 3.01(c)(v) below:

Table 3.01(c)
No.	Aggregate Annual Net Sales (other than Licensee Net Sales)	Quarterly Earn-Out Rate
1.	For that portion of Net Sales (other than Licensee Net Sales) of Products in a Calendar Year up to and including [*] Dollars ($[*])	[*] Percent ([*]%)
2.	For that portion of Net Sales (other than Licensee Net Sales) of Products in a Calendar Year that is greater than [*] Dollars ($[*])	[*] Percent ([*]%)

(ii) Quarterly Earn-Out Payments and Licensee Consideration Payments shall be paid pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(i) as from the Effective Date and until the earlier to occur of (as determined on a Product-by-Product, country-by-country basis): (a) the fifteen (15) year anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of the latest to be received Regulatory Approval of an Indication of such Product in the applicable country, and (b) the date on which Biosimilar Entry with respect to a Product (for any Indication) occurs in such country (the “Earn-Out Term”). For clarity, each time a Product is approved for a new Indication in a given country, the fifteen (15) year period described in clause (a) of the definition of Earn-Out Term for such Product and country shall reset based on the date of the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country following the Regulatory Approval for such new Indication. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall be liable to make a Quarterly Earn-Out Payment pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(i), for the Quarter during which such event terminating the obligation to make such Quarterly Earn-Out Payment occurs as long as the Product is sold in such Quarter. Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary, no amounts shall be counted more than once in the calculation of the Quarterly Earn-Out Payments or the Licensee Consideration Payments.

(iii) Blended Rate. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, the Quarterly Earn-Out Rates agreed upon by the Parties for the Product(s) have been blended to take into consideration, the Purchased Know-How, the Quarterly Earn-Out Rate that could be applied to Products prior to the expiration of any Valid Claims, the Quarterly Earn-Out Rate that could be applied after the expiration of any Valid Claims and the Quarterly Earn-Out Rate that could be applied if no Valid Claims Cover the Product. The Parties recognize that the differing Quarterly Earn-Out Rates that could apply to such periods could last for differing time periods. Therefore the Parties have determined to use the blended Quarterly Earn-Out Rate in this Agreement for reasons of convenience, and the use of such blended Quarterly Earn-Out Rate is advantageous to both Parties.

(iv) Sales of Product by Licensees; Licensee Net Sales; Licensee Consideration.

(A) Licensee Sales. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Quarterly Earn-Out Payment with respect to any sales of Product(s) by or on behalf of a Licensee in an applicable Quarter during the Earn-Out Term for such Product in such country shall be an amount equal to the greater of (1) [***] ([***]%) of all Licensee Sales-Based Royalties that are paid to Purchaser and/or its Affiliates with respect to such sales of Product(s) by or on behalf of a Licensee and (2) [***] percent ([***]%) of such Licensee Net Sales. In the event that Purchaser or its Affiliates enters into any agreement pursuant to which Licensee Net Sales may occur, Purchaser shall provide notice to Seller that it has entered into such arrangement, and provide a copy of such agreement to the Seller (which agreement shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of Purchaser in accordance with Section 7.01).

(B) Licensee Consideration Payments. As consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Assets, in addition to the Cash Consideration, the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, the Milestone Payments and the Quarterly Earn-Out Payments, Purchaser shall pay to the Seller [***] percent ([***]%) of any Licensee Consideration received with respect to a given Product in a given country of the Territory during the Earn-Out Term for such Product in such country (such [***]% portion of such Licensee Consideration, the “Licensee Consideration Payments”). Such Licensee Consideration Payments shall be paid to the Seller within [***] ([***]) days that such Licensee Consideration is received by the Purchaser, and are non-creditable and non-refundable once paid. The Purchaser shall provide a notice to the Seller of the occurrence of an event giving rise to a Licensee Consideration Payment prior to, or no later than on, the date of the payment of the corresponding Licensee Consideration Payment.

(v) License Stacking. If Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (A) determines it is required to obtain a license or other right to a Third Party’s Intellectual Property (in the event such license or other right is not otherwise granted to Purchaser under the Eisai Agreement upon the transfer of the Eisai Agreement to Purchaser at Closing) in order to Exploit a Product in the Territory and (B) enters into an agreement with a Third Party in order to obtain a license or other right under such Third Party’s Intellectual Property in order to Exploit a Product (a “Third Party License”), the Quarterly Earn-Out Payments with respect to such Product (on a Product-by-Product Basis) shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) of any amounts actually paid to such Third Party with respect to such Third Party License; provided, however, that in no event will such reduction reduce a Quarterly Earn-Out Payment for a given Calendar Quarter for such Product by more than [***] percent ([***]%). [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall only be permitted to reduce the amounts payable hereunder to the extent such payments to a Third Party for a Third Party License relate to a Product or any component thereof, which are necessary for making, using, selling or otherwise Exploiting the Product in the Territory, and not to other components or products that are not necessary for making, using, selling or otherwise Exploiting a Product in the Territory.

Section 3.02 Payment Terms; Transfer Taxes.

(a) Payment of the Purchase Price.

(i) The Purchaser shall pay the Cash Consideration to the Seller at Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Seller.

(ii) Each Milestone Payment due and payable under Section 3.01(b) shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller within [***] ([***]) days following the occurrence of the corresponding Milestone Event; provided, however, that [***]. The Purchaser shall provide a notice to the Seller of the occurrence of the Milestone Event set forth in Section 3.01(b) prior to, or no later than on, the date of the payment of the corresponding Milestone Payment.

(iii) Each of the Quarterly Earn-Out Payments due and payable under Section 3.01(c) shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller promptly (but no more than [***] ([***]) days) following the end of the Quarter to which they relate to; provided, that (x) notwithstanding the foregoing, Quarterly Earn-Out Payments payable under Section 3.01(c)(iv)(A) with respect to sales of Product by or on behalf of Licensees) shall be payable by Purchaser to Seller on [***] of (1) [***] and (2) the [***] ([***]) day following the end of the applicable Quarter to such Quarterly Earn-Out Payment relates and (y) Purchaser shall [***]. The Purchaser shall provide a notice to the Seller prior to, or no later than on, the date such of payment, which notice shall provide sufficient details to permit confirmation by the Seller of the accuracy of the payments made.

(iv) Any payments to be made to the Seller under this Agreement shall be made to the Seller without deduction, setoff or counterclaim by the Purchaser for any taxes, fees, duties (except for any withholding required by applicable Tax Laws). Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to provide the other Party with such reasonable assistance as the other Party may request from time to time to minimize any such taxes, fees or duties arising at any time in connection with the Exploitation of the Products, Compound or Purchased Assets in the Territory. Upon written request, Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a properly completed W-8BEN-E Internal Revenue Service Form which may be required by Purchaser in order for Purchaser not to withhold tax under the Double Tax Avoidance Treaty. The Parties agree that as of the Effective Date, no payments under this Agreement are subject to deduction or withholding tax, including the Upfront Payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in Tax Law applicable to the payment of any amounts from the Purchaser or its Affiliates to the Seller hereunder, either Party reasonably believes that actual or proposed change in Tax Law may result in the Purchaser withholding any amounts hereunder due to any Tax Law, at the time amounts become due under this Agreement, the Parties shall confer and discuss in good faith any amendments of changes to this Agreement that might reduce the impact of such change in Tax Law.

(b) Mode of Payment. All payments to the Seller under this Agreement shall be made by way of direct wire transfer of immediately available funds, in Dollars, in the requisite amount to such bank account as the Seller may from time to time designate by notice to the Purchaser.

(c) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, valued-added, gross receipts, stamp, registration or other similar transfer Taxes (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, including all recording or filing fees and other similar costs of the Closing, that may be imposed, payable, collectible or incurred, shall be borne by the Purchaser. The Parties hereto agree to reasonably cooperate with each other to claim any applicable exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable Transfer Taxes.

Section 3.03 Additional Covenants relating to the Milestone Payments and Quarterly Earn-Out Payments.

(a) The Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, and any Licensees and Transferees of rights to Exploit any Product, to keep reasonable, correct and complete books, records and documents (whether in hardcopy, electronic or other form) substantiating the achievement (or non-achievement) of the Milestone Event set forth in Section 3.01(b) and the Net Sales amounts recognized in each Calendar Year for each Product in each country of the Territory, as related to the Quarterly Earn-Out Payments (the “Milestone and Earn-Out Information”) and shall maintain such Milestone and Earn-Out Information until the [***] ([***]) year following the end of the Calendar Year to which such Milestone and Earn-Out Information relates.

(b) Commencing with First Commercial Sale of the first Product, and until the first Calendar Year following the Calendar Year in which the Seller has received all Milestone Payments and Quarterly Earn-Out Payments, the Purchaser shall provide the Seller, (i) on a quarterly basis, not later than [***] ([***]) days after the end of each Quarter other than the Quarter ended December 31, the quarterly Sales Reports; and (ii) on an annual basis, not later than [***] ([***]) days after the end of each Calendar Year, the annual Sales Report. “Sales Reports” shall mean reasonably detailed quarterly and annual reports of the aggregate gross sales and Net Sales of the Product in each applicable country of the Territory, for such Quarter or Calendar Year, as applicable. All Sales Reports shall also include separate line items for the gross sales and the Net Sales of the Product, in each case per applicable country of the Territory.

(c) From the Closing until the Seller has received all Milestone Payments and Quarterly Earn-Out Payments, an independent, national or global third party auditing firm that is reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (and who is subject to the obligations of confidentiality as set forth herein) shall have reasonable access to, and shall be able to review and audit, once every [***] ([***]) months upon no less than [***] ([***]) days written notice and during normal business hours, the books, records, documents (whether in hardcopy, electronic or other form), personnel, work papers and operations) of the Purchaser to the extent necessary to permit the auditor to verify compliance of Purchaser with its obligations under Section 3.01(b), Section 3.01(c) and Section 3.03(a) and the Sales Reports. The Purchaser agrees to reasonably assist such auditing firm in connection with the exercise of the audit rights granted by this Section 3.03(c). All expenses and costs associated with the review and audit in this Section 3.03(c) shall be borne solely by the Seller; provided that in the event that such review and audit results in a finding and determination that a Milestone Payment or Quarterly Earn-Out Payment payable was not otherwise paid or that the amount paid was lower by more than [***] percent ([***]%) than the amount that should have been paid, then the reasonable expenses and costs charged by such audit firm for such review and audit (including reasonable attorney’s fees) shall be borne and paid by the Purchaser. The results of such audit will be binding on the Parties, absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall launch each Product in a jurisdiction within the Territory on or before the six (6) month anniversary of the date such Product receives Regulatory Approval for such jurisdiction.

(b) With respect to the CTCL Approval Milestones, the PTCL Approval Milestones, the I/O Approval Milestones (collectively, the “Approval Milestones”) commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until such time as all Approval Milestones have been achieved, Purchaser and its Affiliates or Licensees or Transferees, as applicable, shall use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve each of the Approval Milestones (the “Approval Efforts”).

(d) The Parties acknowledge that Purchaser may suspend or discontinue development of the Product for a particular Indication and/or a particular jurisdiction within the Territory, to the extent such suspension or discontinuation would be consistent with the exercise of Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser may suspend or discontinue development of the Product for the I/O Indication if, based on the results of the Proof of Concept Plan, such suspension or discontinuation would be consistent with the exercise of Commercially Reasonable Efforts. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Purchaser, its Affiliates or Licensees or Transferees, as applicable, suspends or abandons any of the Approval Efforts, but later continues or revives the program with respect to the Approval Milestones, the Purchaser’s obligation to pay the applicable Milestone Payment with respect to each then applicable Approval Milestone shall remain in the event such Milestone Payment had not been earlier paid hereunder to Seller and remains outstanding under Section 3.01(b).

(d) The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge that the confidentiality obligations set forth herein shall not extend to information, knowledge and data that is publicly available or becomes publicly available through no act or omission of the Party owing a duty of confidentiality, or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Party owing a duty of confidentiality so long as such source is not known by such Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the other Party.

(e) In the event of a breach of the obligations hereunder by the Purchaser or the Seller, the non-breaching Party(ies), in addition to all other available remedies, will be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 7.01 in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of posting a bond and the burden of proving actual damages.

Section 7.02 Preservation of Books and Records.

(a) The Seller shall have the right to retain copies of all books and records relating to the Purchased Assets relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, provided that such books and records are kept confidential in accordance with the Seller’s normal confidentiality procedures and the provisions of Section 7.01.

(b) Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 3.03, the Purchaser shall preserve and keep, or cause to be preserved and kept, the books and records included in the Purchased Assets in the possession of the Purchaser or its Affiliates for the longer of: (i) any applicable statute of limitations; and (ii) a period of [***] ([***]) years from the Closing.

(i) the Seller, its Affiliates and their respective representatives shall, upon reasonable notice and for any reasonable business purpose, have access during normal business hours to examine, inspect and copy such books and records; and

(ii) the Purchaser shall provide, or cause to be provided to, the Seller, its Affiliates and their respective representatives, access to such books and records relating to the Purchased Assets as they shall reasonably request in connection with any Legal Proceeding to which any of them are parties or in connection with the requirements of any Law applicable to them.

(d) No Party shall be obligated to provide the other Party with access to any books or records pursuant to this Section 7.02 where such access would violate any Law.

Section 7.03 Public Announcements. Neither the Seller, the Purchaser nor any of their respective Affiliates shall issue any press release or make any public announcement with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party, except as may be required by Law, including any federal, state or local securities law (or stock exchange rules and regulations), upon the advice of counsel and only if the disclosing Party (x) provides the non-disclosing Party with an opportunity to first review the release or other public announcement, (y) consults with the non-disclosing Party (whether such Party is named in such publicity, news release or public announcement or not) at a reasonable time prior to its release to allow the non-disclosing Party to comment thereon (provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the disclosing Party from proceeding with such release or other public announcement by any applicable deadline required under applicable Law or stock exchange rules or regulations if the non-disclosing Party fails to timely respond to such requests) and (z) after its release, shall provide the non-disclosing Party with a copy thereof. If a Party, based on the advice of its counsel, determines that this Agreement or exhibits thereto must be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or similar Governmental Authority, then such Party, prior to making any such filing, shall provide the other Party and its counsel with a redacted version of this Agreement which it intends to file and any draft correspondence with the SEC (or similar Governmental Authority) requesting the confidential treatment by the SEC (or similar Governmental Authority) of those redacted sections of the Agreement, and will give due consideration to any comments provided by such other Party or its counsel and use good faith efforts to obtain confidential treatment by the SEC of those sections specified by such other Party or its counsel; provided, however, that the Party filing this Agreement or its exhibits will not be required to seek confidential treatment of any information that it determines it is required to publicly disclose based on advice of counsel. Following the Closing, the Purchaser shall be entitled to make such public announcements as it deems appropriate related to the Compound or Products; provided however that except as otherwise provided above, without the Seller’s prior written consent, no such announcement shall contain any reference to the Agreement or the terms set forth therein or the Seller, its Affiliates or actions taken with respect to the Compound or Products prior to the Effective Date other than references consistent with those previously approved by the Seller.

Section 7.04 Further Assurances. Except as otherwise set forth herein, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and to applicable legal requirements, each of the Parties hereto shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with the other Party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

Section 7.05 Certain Intellectual Property Matters. Any recovery realized because of litigation of the Purchased Patents or Purchased Intellectual Property (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be first allocated to reimburse Purchaser for their direct and out of pocket costs and expenses in making such recovery (which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality of such expenses). Any remainder after such reimbursement is made shall be retained by Purchaser provided, however, that to the extent that any award or settlement (whether by judgment or otherwise) with respect to Purchased Intellectual Property is attributable to loss of sales or profits with respect to the Product, that has impacted a Milestone Payment based on Net Sales or other Quarterly Earn-Out Payments to Seller, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an appropriate allocation of such remainder to reflect the economic interests as a whole of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to the Product, including the adjustment of Net Sales.

Section 7.06 License to Licensed Know-How. Effective as of the Closing, Seller (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby grants to Purchaser a perpetual, irrevocable, paid-up, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide, exclusive (even as to Seller and its Affiliates) license under the Licensed Know-How solely in order to Exploit the Compound and any Product (including any companion diagnostic related to a Product). For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensed Know-How shall not be used for products of the Purchaser, its Affiliates, Licensees or Transferees, other than Products.

Section 9.02 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE IX, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify and defend the Purchaser, its Affiliates, and each of their respective employees, directors, officers, stockholders, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Group”), against, and shall hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by the Purchaser Group based upon or arising out of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Seller contained in this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement, or obligation to be performed by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (which shall not include the Transition Services Agreement); or

(c) any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability.

The foregoing indemnity obligations will not apply to (i) the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from the fraud, gross negligence, and/or willful misconduct of Purchaser or its Affiliates, and/or any related breach by Purchaser of its representations, warranties, and/or covenants hereunder, or (ii) Losses for which Purchaser has an obligation to indemnify the Seller Group pursuant to Section 9.03, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of its respective liability for such Losses.

Section 9.03 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE IX, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify and defend the Seller, its Affiliates, and each of their respective employees, directors, officers, stockholders, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Group”), against, and shall hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by the Seller Group based upon or arising out of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement, or obligation to be performed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (which shall not include the Transition Services Agreement);

Section 9.04 Notice of Direct Claims.

(a) If any of the Persons to be indemnified under this ARTICLE IX (the “Indemnified Party”) has suffered or incurred any Loss subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE IX that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall so notify the Party responsible for providing indemnification therefor under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly in a writing describing such Loss, the basis for indemnification hereunder, the amount or estimated amount of such Loss, if known or reasonably capable of estimation, and the method of computation of such Loss, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 9.04(a) (so long as a notice pursuant to this Section 9.04(a) is given before the expiration of the applicable period set forth in Section 9.01) shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE IX, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by failure to give such notice in a timely manner.

(b) Except when a notice, report or other filing must be filed immediately pursuant to applicable Law, the Purchaser shall provide notice and an opportunity to comment to the Seller before the Purchaser files any report, notification or filing with any Governmental Authority or Third Party in connection with an event that would be reasonably likely to result in a Loss subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 9.02. In the event the Purchaser is required to file such a report, notification or filing immediately, the Purchaser shall provide notice to the Seller promptly after it submits such report, notification or filing to the applicable Governmental Authority.

Section 9.05 Third Party Claims.

(a) If any Legal Proceeding is instituted by or against a Third Party with respect to which the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity under this ARTICLE IX (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim (such notice describing, to the extent practicable, such matter in reasonable detail and such being accompanied by a copy of any written notice of the Third Party claimant to the Indemnified Party asserting the Third Party Claim) and tender to the Indemnifying Party the conduct or defense of such Third Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 9.05(a) (so long as a notice pursuant to this Section 9.05(a) that includes any written notice of the Third Party claimant is given before the expiration of the applicable period set forth in Section 9.01) and to tender the conduct or defense of the Third Party Claim in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 9.05(a) shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE IX, except (i) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby, and (ii) to the extent expenses are incurred during the period in which notice was not provided.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim (such election to be without prejudice to the right of the Indemnifying Party to dispute whether such claim is an indemnifiable Loss under this ARTICLE IX), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, in all appropriate proceedings, to a final conclusion or settlement at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 9.05(b). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement agreement without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent shall not be required if (i) the settlement agreement contains a complete and unconditional general release by the Third Party asserting the Third Party Claim to all Indemnified Parties affected by the claim and (ii) the settlement agreement does not impose any obligation on, or contain any sanction or restriction upon the conduct or operation of any business by, the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.05(b), and the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.05(b) within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Claim Notice, then the Indemnified Party shall defend, and be reimbursed for its reasonable cost and expense (but only if the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder) in regard to the Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, in all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnified Party. In such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall defend any such Third Party Claim in good faith and have full control of such defense and proceedings; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.05(c), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation; provided, however, if at any time the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing that such Third Party Claim is an indemnifiable Loss under this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.05(b).

(d) If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder), to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including providing access to documents, records and information. In addition, the Indemnified Party will make its personnel available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, for conferences, discovery, proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may be reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party also agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the making of any related counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim or any cross complaint against any Person and executing powers of attorney to the extent necessary.

Section 9.06 Limitations on Indemnification; Limitations on Liability.

(a) Thresholds. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE IX, other than claims for Losses arising out of, or caused by or relating to fraud or for any breach of a Fundamental Representation, the Seller shall not be liable to provide indemnification for any Losses arising from or in connection with matters described under Section 9.02 suffered by any Indemnified Party unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses suffered by the Indemnified Parties exceeds, on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to $[***] ([***] Dollars) (the “Indemnity Threshold”), and then the Seller shall only be liable to provide indemnification to the extent exceeding the Indemnity Threshold. No Losses shall be included in determining whether the Indemnity Threshold has been reached unless a notice seeking indemnification for such Losses has been given by the Purchaser Group to the Seller in accordance with Section 9.04(a) or Section 9.05(a), as applicable.

(b) Caps. Other than claims for Losses arising out of, or caused by or relating to fraud, in no event shall the Seller be liable to provide indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE IX for Losses arising from or in connection with matters described under Section 9.02(a) in the aggregate in excess of an amount equal to $[***] ([***] Dollars (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to breaches of Fundamental Representations, the Cap shall be an amount equal to [***].

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT FOR (I) LIABILITY FOR ANY PARTY’S FRAUD AND (II) THE OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY TO INDEMNIFY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY UNDER ARTICLE IX FROM AND AGAINST THIRD PARTY CLAIMS PURSUANT TO WHICH A THIRD PARTY HAS BEEN AWARDED SUCH DAMAGES, NO INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, TREBLE, REMOTE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OPPORTUNITY COST, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR DAMAGES FOR, MEASURED BY OR BASED ON LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE OR INCOME, DIMINUTION IN VALUE, MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS, PROFITS OR CASH FLOWS, OR OTHER SIMILAR MEASURES OR FOR ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY THAT ARISES OUT OF OR RELATES TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OF ANY LIABILITY RETAINED OR ASSUMED HEREUNDER.

Section 9.08 Purchaser’s Opportunity to Review. The Purchaser acknowledges that it and its representatives have received or been afforded the opportunity to review prior to the date of this Agreement all written materials furnished or made available, as the case may be, to the Purchaser on or prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser acknowledges that it and its Affiliates and representatives have been permitted full and complete access to the books and records, and other assets related to the Purchased Assets that it and its representatives have desired or requested to see or review and that it and its representatives have had a full opportunity to meet with the officers and employees of the Seller to discuss the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities. The Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that (i) other than the representations and warranties of the Seller specifically contained in ARTICLE V of this Agreement, neither the Seller nor any other Person has made any representation or warranty either expressed or implied (A) with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the transactions contemplated hereby or (B) as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other agreements related hereto furnished or made available to the Purchaser and its representatives, (ii) the Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty from the Seller or any other Person in determining to enter into this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in ARTICLE V of this Agreement and (iii) no Person who is part of the Purchaser Group shall have any claim or right to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX and neither the Seller nor any other Person shall have or be subject to any Liability to the Purchaser Group (or any Person who is part of such group) or any other Person with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished by the Seller or any of their representatives or agents to the Purchaser (it being understood that this clause (iii) does not supersede or otherwise affect the representations and warranties of the Seller specifically contained in ARTICLE V of this Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in Article 5, (i) the Seller does not make any representations or warranties relating to the maintenance, repair, condition, design, performance or marketability of any Purchased Asset, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, (ii) Purchaser shall obtain rights in the Purchased Asset in their present condition and state of repair, “as is” and “where is”.

Section 9.09 Adjustment to Purchase Price. The Seller and the Purchaser agree to treat all payments made either to or for the benefit of the other Party under this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price for tax purposes to the extent permitted under applicable tax Law.

Section 9.10 Reimbursement. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a Third Party in respect of a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the amount received from the Third Party in respect thereof.

Section 9.11 Losses Net of Insurance. In determining the amount of Losses in respect of a claim under this ARTICLE IX, there shall be deducted an amount equal to the amount of any Third Party insurance proceeds actually received (net of direct collection expenses) by an Indemnified Party making such claim with respect to such Losses, provided that the foregoing shall not (i) require an Indemnified Party to proceed or seek action or recovery from any such Third Party as a requirement hereunder or as a condition to seeking or recovering indemnification from any Indemnifying Party hereunder (but the Indemnified Party shall use its good faith efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses and promptly notify in reasonable detail any such recovery to the Indemnifying Party and reimburse it in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.09 hereof, if applicable), or (ii) be construed or interpreted as a guaranty of any level or amount of insurance recovery with the provisions of Section 9.09 hereof, if applicable with respect to any Losses hereunder or as a requirement to maintain any insurance or to make any claim for insurance as a condition to any indemnification hereunder.

Section 9.12 Subrogation. To the extent that the Indemnifying Party makes or is required to make any indemnification payment to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates may have against any other Person with respect to any Losses to which such indemnification payment is directly related.

Section 9.13 Sole Remedy/Waiver. Should the Closing occur, the remedies provided for in this ARTICLE IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of any Indemnified Party in respect of this Agreement, the Purchased Assets, the Product, the Excluded Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than (i) for actions for specific performance or other equitable remedies, (ii) for claims arising out or related to ARTICLE III, or (iii) for claims against a Party directly arising out of the knowing and intentional fraud of such Party in respect of a provision of this Agreement.

Any assignment in breach of the provisions of this Section 10.05 shall be null and void ab initio.
