Section 9.03 Successors and Assigns.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Seller shall not be entitled to assign any of its obligations and rights under the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of Buyer; provided, however, such consent shall not be required in connection with the merger or other consolidation of Seller or the assignment of Seller’s obligations and rights by operation of law, so long as, the Person into which Seller has been merged or consolidated or which has acquired such assets of Seller has delivered evidence to Buyer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, that such Person has assumed all of Seller’s obligations under the Transaction Documents. Buyer may assign without consent of Seller any of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents without restriction. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 9.03 shall be null and void.

Section 9.04 Indemnification.

(a)Seller hereby indemnifies and holds each Buyer Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by Seller in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by Seller pursuant to any Transaction Document or the License Agreement, including any failure by Seller to satisfy any of the Excluded Liabilities and Obligations, or (iii) any claims asserted by any Third Party to the extent based on action taken by Buyer at the direction of Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise at the direction of Seller other than actions which Buyer would have been obligated to take even if Buyer had not been so directed by Seller.

(b)XOMA hereby indemnifies and holds each Buyer Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by XOMA in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by XOMA pursuant to any Transaction Document or the License Agreement, or (iii) any claims asserted by any Third Party to the extent based on action taken by Buyer at the direction of XOMA pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise at the direction of XOMA other than actions which Buyer would have been obligated to take even if Buyer had not been so directed by XOMA.

(c)Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds Seller Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by a Seller Indemnified Party arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by Buyer in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by Buyer pursuant to any Transaction Document or (iii) any claims asserted by any Third Party to the extent based on action taken by Seller at the direction of Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise at the direction of Buyer other than actions which Seller would have been obligated to take even if Seller had not been so directed by Buyer.

(d)If any Claim shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such Claim, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such Claim, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any; provided that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.04 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of, or has a material adverse effect on the exercise or prosecution of, substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. In case any such Claim is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9.04 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both such parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of such counsel. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(e)Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party may take any action against Seller to enforce or recover Losses pursuant to the indemnification obligations of Seller under this Section 9.04 without any requirement to take any action or exhaust any right or remedy against any other Person; provided that Buyer agrees that Seller shall then be subrogated to any and all other rights of Buyer to recovery to the extent of such indemnification paid by Seller (but excluding interest amounts and withholding tax gross-up payments). If any proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by or on behalf of a Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to Losses after Seller has made an indemnification payment to a Buyer Indemnified Party with respect thereto and receipt of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries prior to such payment would have reduced the amount of such indemnification payment if received prior to such payment, then such Buyer Indemnified Party shall hold such amounts in trust for the benefit of Seller and, within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof, deliver such amounts (net of any applicable withholding tax) to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds as directed by Seller.

(f)No XOMA Entity shall be liable to indemnify Buyer for any Losses arising from a breach of a representation or warranty unless and until the aggregate amount of those Losses exceeds $200,000 at which point Seller shall be liable to indemnify Buyer for all Losses arising from a breach of a representation or warranty.

(g)The maximum aggregate indemnification obligation of the XOMA Entities under this Agreement shall be an amount equal to the sum of the Closing Amount, plus any amounts paid to Seller in respect of sales milestones pursuant to Section 2.03(b), less the aggregate amount of License Payments received by Buyer pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no maximum indemnification threshold shall apply (i) for breaches of this Agreement in the event such breach is a result of actual fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by any XOMA Entity or (ii) to any indemnification for any failure by any XOMA Entity to satisfy any of the Excluded Liabilities and Obligations.

Section 9.05 Independent Nature of Relationship; Taxes.

(a)The relationship between Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, is solely that of assignor and assignee, and neither Buyer, on the one hand, nor Seller, on the other hand, has any fiduciary or other special relationship with the other or any of their respective Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be read to create any agency, partnership, association or joint venture of Seller (or any of its Affiliates) and Buyer (or any of its Affiliates) and each Party agrees not to refer to the other as a “partner” or the relationship as a “partnership” or “joint venture” or other kind of entity or legal form.

(b)Except as otherwise contemplated herein, no Party shall at any time obligate the other Parties, or impose on any such other Party any obligation, in any manner or respect to any Third Party.

(c)For United States federal, state and local tax purposes, each of Seller and Buyer shall treat the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents as a sale of the Assigned Rights.

(d)The Parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 9.05 on any tax return or in any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding unless (i) the other Parties to this Agreement has consented to such actions, or (ii) the Party that contemplates taking such an inconsistent position has been advised by nationally recognized tax counsel in writing that it is more likely than not that (x) there is no “reasonable basis” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6662-3(b)(3)) for the position specified in this Section 9.05 or

(y)taking such a position would otherwise subject the Party to penalties under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If a Governmental Authority conducts an inquiry of Seller or Buyer related to this Section 9.05, the Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in responding to such inquiry in a reasonable manner consistent with this Section 9.05.

(e) All payments to Buyer under this Agreement shall be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax as long as Buyer has delivered to Seller a properly executed IRS Form W-9 on or before the Closing Date. Buyer shall notify Seller promptly if any information on such IRS Form W-9 ceases to be accurate. If any deduction or withholding is required from any payment under this Agreement, the sum payable shall be increased and paid by Seller or any of their respective Affiliates as necessary so that after all required deductions and withholdings have been made (including any deductions and withholdings attributable to Buyer’s gross up payments under this Section 9.05(e)), Buyer receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholding been made, provided that Seller shall not be required to make any additional payments under this clause to the extent any withholding or deduction results from Buyer’s act or omission that causes Buyer to cease to be treated as a United States Person or that substitutes a Person that is not a United States Person for Buyer. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing in the event that any deduction or withholding is effected or proposed by Seller or any Governmental Authority, with respect to any such payments hereunder and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer if Buyer attempts to establish any available exemption from or reduction of any tax that would be required to withheld or deducted with respect to any such payments hereunder.

Section 9.06 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Schedules hereto (which are incorporated herein by reference), and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements (including the Confidentiality Agreement), understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof (other than Section 9.04), is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 9.07 Amendments; No Waivers.

(a)This Agreement or any term or provision hereof may not be amended, changed or modified except with the written consent of all Parties. No waiver of any right hereunder shall be effective unless such waiver is signed in writing by the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.

(b)No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

(c)No waiver or approval hereunder shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable law.

Section 9.08 Interpretation.

When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections, Schedules or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”. No Party shall be or be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement for the purposes of construing this Agreement against one Party or another.

Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree by a court of competent jurisdiction shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

THIS PROTECTIVE RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December 21, 2016 by and between XOMA (US) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Grantor”), and HealthCare Royalty Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“HC Royalty”).

RECITALS:

A.Grantor and HC Royalty are parties to that certain Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement of even date herewith.

B.The Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement provides that Grantor has agreed to assign to HC Royalty, and HC Royalty has agreed to acquire from Grantor, the Assigned Rights (as defined in the Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement).

C.Grantor has agreed pursuant to the terms of the Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement to enter into this Agreement, under which Grantor grants to HC Royalty a security interest in and to the Collateral as security for the due performance and payment of all of Grantor’s obligations to HC Royalty under the Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Grantor and HC Royalty, with intent to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows:

SECTION 1.Definitions.

For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth below. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given such terms in the UCC or the Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement, as applicable.

“Agreement” has the meaning set forth in the preamble to this Agreement.

“Collateral” has the meaning set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement.

“Default” means (i) a default under one or more of the Transaction Documents, which default, if reasonably capable of being cured within 30 days, continues without cure for such period, (ii) a Recharacterization or (iii) an Insolvency Event.

“Grantor” has the meaning set forth in the preamble to this Agreement.

“HC Royalty” has the meaning set forth in the preamble to this Agreement.

“Party” means any of Grantor or HC Royalty as the context indicates and “Parties” shall mean all of Grantor and HC Royalty.

“Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement” means the Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement entered into as of the date hereof by and between Grantor, XOMA Corporation and HC Royalty, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented in accordance with the terms thereof, relating to that certain License Agreement, effective as of August 18, 2005, between Grantor (as successor in interest to XOMA Ireland Limited) and Wyeth, a Delaware corporation, or its permitted successor in interest or assignee.

“Secured Obligations” means all obligations and liabilities of every nature of Grantor now or hereafter existing under or arising out of or in connection with the Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, whether for damages, principal, interest, reimbursement of fees, expenses, indemnities or otherwise (including without limitation interest, fees and other amounts that, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Grantor, would accrue on such obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Grantor for such interest, fees and other amounts in the related bankruptcy proceeding), whether voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from HC Royalty as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise.

“Transfer” means any sale, conveyance, assignment, disposition, pledge, hypothecation or transfer.

“UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect on the date of this Agreement in the State of New York.

SECTION 2.Grant of Security.

Grantor hereby grants HC Royalty a security interest in all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under the following property, whether now or hereinafter existing or acquired, whether tangible or intangible and wherever the same may be located (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(a)the Assigned Rights, including, without limitation, the Purchased Interest, whether it constitutes an account or a payment intangible under the UCC, and whether or not evidenced by an instrument or a general intangible, and the absolute right to payment and receipt of the Purchased Interest under or pursuant to the License Agreements;

(b)all books, records and database extracts of Grantor specifically relating to any of the foregoing Collateral; and

(c)all Proceeds of or from any and all of the foregoing Collateral, including all payments under any indemnity, warranty or guaranty, and all money now or at any time in the possession or under the control of, or in transit to, HC Royalty, relating to any of the foregoing Collateral.

Each item of Collateral listed in this Section 2 that is defined in Article 9 of the UCC shall have the meaning set forth in the UCC, it being the intention of Grantor that the description of the Collateral set forth above be construed to include the broadest possible range of assets described herein.

The Assigned Rights have been sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to HC Royalty pursuant to the Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement and it is the intention of the Parties that such transaction be treated as a true and absolute sale. The security interest granted in this Section 2 is granted as a precaution against the possibility, contrary to the Parties’ intentions, that the transaction be characterized as other than a true and absolute sale.

SECTION 3.Security for Obligations.

This Agreement secures, and the Collateral is collateral security for, the due and punctual payment or performance in full (including without limitation the payment of amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Subsection 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code) of all Secured Obligations.

SECTION 4.Grantor to Remain Liable.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) Grantor shall remain liable under any contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, to the extent set forth therein, to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by HC Royalty of any of its rights hereunder shall not release Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under any contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, and (c) HC Royalty shall not have any obligation or liability under any contracts, licenses, and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall HC Royalty be obligated (i) to perform any of the obligations or duties of Grantor thereunder, (ii) to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder, or (iii) to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment Grantor may be entitled to receive thereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor will: (i) deliver such other instruments or notices, in each case, as may be necessary, or as HC Royalty may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable HC Royalty to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, (ii) appear in and take

(c)give HC Royalty thirty (30) days’ written notice after any change in Grantor’s sole place of business, chief executive office or the office where Grantor keeps its records regarding the Collateral or a reincorporation, reorganization or other action that results in a change of the jurisdiction of organization of Grantor; and

(d)pay promptly when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims against, the Collateral, except to the extent the validity thereof is being diligently contested in good faith and the applicable Grantor maintains reserves appropriate therefor under the generally accepted accounting principles used by Grantor in the preparation of its financial statements; provided that Grantor shall in any event pay such taxes, assessments, charges, levies or claims not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed sale under any judgment, writ or warrant of attachment entered or filed against Grantor or any of the Collateral as a result of the failure to make such payment; provided that the foregoing covenant shall not apply to any such taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon or claims against HC Royalty as owner of the Collateral.

(b)Grantor shall, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, execute and deliver to HC Royalty one original of a Special Power of Attorney in the form of Exhibit I annexed hereto for execution of an assignment of the Collateral to HC Royalty, or the implementation of the sale or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant to HC Royalty’s good faith exercise of the rights and remedies granted hereunder; provided, however, HC Royalty agrees that it will not exercise its rights under such Special Power of Attorney unless a Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c)Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8 (other than the covenant contained in Section 8(a)(i)) will cause irreparable injury to HC Royalty, that HC Royalty has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable against Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants (other than any such defense based on the assertion that Grantor had performed and is performing such covenant(s)).

SECTION 12.Expenses.

Grantor agrees to pay to HC Royalty upon demand the amount of any and all documented, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one counsel per jurisdiction and of any experts and agents, that HC Royalty may reasonably and actually incur in connection with (i) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral during the continuance of a Default, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of HC Royalty hereunder, or (iii) the failure by Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, which failure, if reasonably capable of being cured within 30 days, continues without cure for such period; provided that any such costs and expenses in respect of the enforcement of and disputes under the License Agreement shall be subject to Section 6.07 of the Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement in lieu of this Section 12.

No waiver of any right hereunder shall be effective unless such waiver is signed in writing by the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.

(b)No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

SECTION 15.Notices.

All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement.

Nothing herein shall affect the right of a Party to serve process on the other Party in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER PARTY HERETO WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 19.

SECTION 20.Counterparts; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made pursuant to the Transaction Documents by the various parties and upon originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such records, documents, certificates, opinions, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.

As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and have not sought independently to verify such matters.

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed, without investigation: (i) the genuineness of all signatures; (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (iii) the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (iv) the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; (v) the valid existence, good standing in the jurisdiction of organization and the corporate or similar power to enter into, and perform the Transaction Documents in accordance with their respective terms, of all Persons party to any Transaction Document (except that such assumption is not made as to the Seller Parties); (vi) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents (except that such assumption is not made with respect to the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Seller Parties), in each case where the authorization, execution and delivery thereof by such parties are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents; (vii) the legal capacity of all individuals executing and delivering documents to so execute and deliver; (viii) compliance by the Buyer with any state or federal laws applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents because of the nature of the Buyer’s business; (ix) the Transaction Documents constitute valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against all parties thereto (except that such assumption is not made with respect to the Seller Parties); and (x) there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among the parties to the Transaction Documents or to the Reviewed Agreements that would modify or interpret the terms of such documents or agreements or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

Our opinion is expressed with respect to (i) the federal laws of the United States of America, (ii) the laws of the State of New York, (iii) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) for purposes of paragraph 1, 2 and 5 below, and (iv) the DEUCC (as defined below), as reported in unofficial compilations for purposes of paragraph 8 below. We did not review the official version of the DEUCC or any decisions interpreting the DEUCC nor did we obtain special rulings of authorities administering the DEUCC or any opinion of counsel in Delaware. For purposes of this opinion: (i) the “DEUCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware on the date hereof, and (ii) the “NYUCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York on the date hereof. To the extent not governed by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”), our opinion below is premised upon the result that would obtain if a New York court were to apply the internal laws of the State of New York (notwithstanding the designation of the laws of the State of Delaware) to the interpretation of the LLC Agreement. Other than as specifically set forth herein with respect to the laws of the State of New York, we express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject matter hereof.

We express no opinion as to the relative priority of any security interest, lien, charge or encumbrance created by or under the Transaction Documents nor as to the effect on the Buyer’s security interest of any rights or interests, if any, entitled to priority thereto.

We are not rendering any opinion as to any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, decree or decisional authority relating to antitrust, financial institutions, insurance company, land use, safety, environmental, pension, employee benefits, fraudulent conveyance, tax, the legality of investments for regulated entities or local law. Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to compliance with antifraud laws, rules or regulations relating to securities or the offer and sale thereof; compliance with state securities or blue sky laws; compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other United States federal securities law; compliance with Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; compliance with the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission thereunder (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) (collectively, the “Commodity Exchange Act”); or compliance with laws that place limitations on corporate distributions. We note that, pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the parties intend for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, contribution and grant of the Assigned Rights under each RIAA to be a true, complete, absolute and irrevocable assignment and sale by the Company to the Buyer of the Assigned Rights. We express no opinion as to the proper characterization of those transactions or as to the legal consequences of characterizing the transactions in the Transaction Documents in such a fashion.

With regard to our opinion in paragraphs 1 and 2 below concerning the valid existence and good standing of each Seller Party, we have based our opinion solely upon our review of the Good Standing Certificates. We have made no further investigation.

With regard to our opinion in paragraph 4 below concerning the validity, binding nature and enforceability of each Seller Party’s obligations under the Transaction Documents:

(i)Our opinion is subject to, and may be limited by, (a) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, debtor and creditor, and similar laws which relate to or affect creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing) regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(ii)Our opinion is subject to the qualification that (a) the enforceability of provisions for indemnification or limitations on liability may be limited by public policy considerations, and (b) the availability of specific performance, an injunction or other equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of the court before which the request is brought.

(iii)We have assumed that the Buyer will act fairly, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable and prudent manner in exercising their respective rights and will not trespass or commit any breach of the peace in any taking of possession of any of the collateral.

(iv)We express no opinion as to any provision of any Transaction Document that: (a) relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of any federal court of the United States of America or any federal appellate court to adjudicate any controversy related to the Transaction Documents, (b) contains a waiver of an inconvenient forum, (c) relates to a right of setoff, (d) provides for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole payments or other economic remedies, (e) relates to advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitations, trial by jury, or procedural rights, (f) restricts non-written modifications and waivers, (g) relates to governing law to the extent that it purports to affect the choice of law governing perfection and the effect of perfection and non-perfection of security interests, (h) provides for the payment of legal and other professional fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy, (i) relates to any arrangement or similar fee payable to any arranger of the commitments under each RIAA or any fee not set forth in the Transaction Documents, (j) relates to exclusivity, election or accumulation of rights or remedies, (k) authorizes or validates conclusive or discretionary determinations, (l) provides that provisions of any Transaction Document are severable to the extent an essential part of the agreed exchange is determined to be invalid and unenforceable, (m) provides that a party’s waiver of any breach of any provision of a Transaction Document is not to be construed as a waiver by such party of any prior breach of such provision or of any other provision of any Transaction Document, (n) provides any party the right to accelerate obligations or exercise remedies without notice, (o) purports to assign, xxxxx x xxxx upon or security interest in or to any contract, right, agreement or other property right or the proceeds thereof (other than assignments of, or security interests in, accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, promissory notes or letter of credit rights to the extent Sections 9-406(d), 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the NYUCC would permit such assignment or security interest), which by its terms or under applicable law, rule or regulation is not so assignable or under which the grant of such a lien or security interest is prohibited, (p) purports to permit the sale or other disposition of any collateral or the exercise of any rights with respect thereto otherwise than in accordance with applicable law, (q) prohibits transfers described in Section 9-401 and 9-408 of the NYUCC, (r) purports to permit the Buyer to act as any party’s agent and attorney-in-fact after the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, (s) provides for a right or remedy which may be held to be arbitrary or unconscionable, a penalty or otherwise in violation of public policy, (t) provides for a guaranty of obligations under “swaps” by any entity that is not an “eligible contract participant” (each as defined under the Commodity Exchange Act) or (u) purports to establish standards for the performance of the obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness and care prescribed by the NYUCC or of any of the rights or duties referred to in Section 9-603 of the NYUCC.

(v)We express no opinion as to whether a state court outside of the State of New York or a federal court of the United States would give effect to any choice of New York law or jurisdiction provided for in the Transaction Documents. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the enforceability of the choice of New York law, assumes satisfaction of the requirements of Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law, which permits contracting parties to specify that the law of the State of New York is applicable if such requirements are satisfied. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the enforceability of the submission to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the federal courts situated therein, assumes satisfaction of

HealthCare Royalty Partners II, L.P.

December 21, 2016

Page Six

the requirements of Section 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, which permits contracting parties to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York if such requirements are satisfied.

Please be advised that the exercise of remedies by the Buyer under the Transaction Documents will generally be subject to compliance with, and the limitations imposed by, the NYUCC relating to the exercise of remedies by a secured creditor including, without limitation, the procedural requirements of Section 9-601 et seq. of the NYUCC relating to the exercise of remedies by a lender.

With regard to our opinion in paragraph 5 below, we have relied solely upon (i) the written agreements, contracts, undertakings, indentures or instruments (the “Reviewed Agreements”) that are listed on Schedule 1, and (ii) an examination of the Reviewed Agreements in the form provided to us by the Company. We have made no further investigation. Further, with regard to our opinion in paragraph 5 below concerning the Reviewed Agreements, we express no opinion as to (i) financial covenants or similar provisions therein requiring financial calculations or determinations to ascertain compliance, (ii) provisions therein relating to the occurrence of a “material adverse event” or words of similar import, or (iii) any statement or writing that may constitute parol evidence bearing on interpretation or construction. We have assumed that each Reviewed Agreement is to be interpreted in accordance with the plain meaning of the language set forth therein.

Our opinion in paragraphs 7 and 8 below, regarding the creation and perfection of security interests, is subject to our assumptions that (i) the applicable collateral exists, (ii) the Company has rights in or title to the collateral in which it has granted a security interest (and we do not express any opinion herein as to any of such rights or title and we note that pursuant to the Dyax RIAA and the Pfizer RIAA the Company has sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under the Assigned Rights), and (iii) the Company has received “value” (as defined in Section 1-201(44) of the NYUCC and for purposes of NYUCC Section 9-203(b)(1)) in exchange for granting a security interest in the collateral. Further, with regard to our opinion in paragraphs 7 and 8 below, we express no opinion as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the description of the collateral in the Security Documents or the Financing Statements (including without limitation with respect to commercial tort claims) and no opinion as to any property or transactions excluded from coverage under or of a type not subject to Article 8 or Article 9 of the NYUCC, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 9-109 of either the NYUCC. Furthermore, we express no opinion as to (i) any document, instrument or agreement not expressly defined as a Transaction Document in this opinion, or (ii) the creation, existence, validity, attachment, perfection, priority, or enforceability of any security interest, lien, charge or other encumbrance under any Transaction Document (other than as expressly set forth in paragraphs 3, 5, 7 and 8 below).

On the basis of the foregoing, in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions contained herein, we are of the opinion that:
