8. Released Claims. In consideration of the mutual execution of the Settlement Documents and the mutual agreement to be legally bound by the terms hereof, in addition to the dismissal of the Pending Litigation, as set forth in the Stipulation of Dismissal and the Consent Judgment and Dismissal, Supernus and Actavis make the following releases, which shall be effective upon the grant of the Stipulation of Dismissal and the Consent Judgment and Dismissal by the Court in the Pending Litigation: Supernus and Actavis, with the intention of binding themselves and their respective predecessors, successors, heirs and assigns, directors, officers, employees and representatives, hereby fully, finally and irrevocably release and discharge each other, and their respective predecessors, successors, heirs and assigns, directors, officers, employers and representatives, from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, liabilities, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, extents, executions, claims, counterclaims, demands, costs, expenses, losses, liens and obligations, whatsoever, in law or equity, whether known or unknown, and waive any and all defenses, occurring before or as of the Effective Date related to the Litigated Patents, solely (i) in connection with the Pending Litigation, (ii) associated with the Actavis ANDA and Actavis Product, and including Supernus’ assertion of the Litigated Patents against Actavis, or (iii) in connection with all other claims that were asserted or could have been asserted in the Pending Litigation. For purposes of clarity, nothing herein shall prevent any Party from enforcing the terms of the Settlement Documents; or Supernus from enforcing any patent, including the Litigated Patents against Third Parties; or, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Settlement Documents, Actavis from (a) asserting counterclaims or defenses of non-infringement, invalidity, or unenforceability of the Litigated Patents in any proceeding the subject matter of which is not the Actavis Product; (b) filing and/or maintaining Paragraph IV certifications with respect the Actavis ANDA against the Litigated Patents or any other patent owned, licensed to, or subsequently acquired by Supernus that is now or comes to be listed in the Orange Book; and (c) in the event Supernus or its Affiliates initiate suit against Actavis or its Affiliates alleging that a product other than the Actavis Product infringes the Litigated Patents or any other patent owned, licensed to, or subsequently acquired by Supernus that is now or comes to be listed in the Orange Book, seeking reexamination, inter partes review, or any other post-grant review of the Litigated Patent(s) asserted against Actavis or its Affiliates with respect to a product other than the Actavis Product.

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY MAY HEREAFTER DISCOVER CLAIMS OR FACTS IN ADDITION TO OR DIFFERENT FROM THOSE WHICH THEY NOW KNOW OR BELIEVE TO EXIST WITH RESPECT TO THE RELEASED CLAIMS, THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES ALLEGED IN THE PENDING LITIGATION, AND/OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH, IF KNOWN OR SUSPECTED AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, MAY HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. NEVERTHELESS, UPON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE RELEASE OF THE RELEASED CLAIMS AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION ABOVE, THE PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RELEASED CLAIMS INCLUDE WAIVERS OF ANY RIGHTS, CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION THAT MIGHT ARISE AS A RESULT OF SUCH DIFFERENT OR

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE AND POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH A RELEASE OF UNKNOWN UNITED STATES JURISDICTION CLAIMS AND OF SUCH A SPECIFIC WAIVER OF RIGHTS. THE PARTIES INTEND THAT THE CLAIMS RELEASED BY THEM UNDER THIS RELEASE BE CONSTRUED AS BROADLY AS POSSIBLE TO THE EXTENT THEY RELATE TO UNITED STATES JURISDICTION CLAIMS. THE PARTIES ARE AWARE OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her, must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

THE PARTIES AGREE TO EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE UNDER THIS CODE SECTION OR UNDER FEDERAL, STATE OR COMMON LAW STATUTES OR JUDICIAL DECISIONS OF A SIMILAR NATURE, AND KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE SUCH UNKNOWN CLAIMS.

11. License Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Supernus and Actavis shall enter into the License Agreement.

12. Stipulation and Order. From the execution of the Settlement Documents, and unless the Settlement Documents are terminated, neither Party will actively pursue litigation activities related to the Pending Litigation, except to the extent required by court order or other Applicable Law. In consideration of the benefits of entering into the Settlement Documents, the Parties, through their respective attorneys, shall, within two (2) Business Days of the Effective Date, jointly seek that the Court enter the Stipulation of Dismissal and the Consent Judgment and Dismissal. Additionally, the Parties will dismiss Actavis, Inc. (n/k/a Allergan Finance LLC), Actavis plc (n/k/a Allergan plc) and ANDA, Inc. from the Pending Litigation prior to entering the consent judgment in the Pending Litigation, as those parties no longer exist in the same corporate form and no longer have any ownership interest in the Actavis ANDA. If the Court does not grant the Stipulation of Dismissal and the Consent Judgment and Dismissal substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibit B and Exhibit C, the Parties agree to confer in good faith and revise those documents consistent with the requirements of the Court, provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require a Party to agree to a modification of the Stipulation of Dismissal, the Consent Judgment and Dismissal or any other Settlement Document that materially affects the economic value of the transactions contemplated hereby.

13. Legal Compliance. The Parties shall submit the Settlement Documents to the Federal Trade Commission Bureau of Competition (the “Commission”) and the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) as soon as practicable following the Effective Date and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date. The Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to coordinate the making of such filings, and shall respond promptly to any requests for additional information made by either of such agencies. Each Party reserves the right to communicate with the Commission or the DOJ regarding such filings as it believes appropriate. Each Party shall keep the other reasonably informed of such communications and shall not disclose the confidential information of the other without such other Party’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). To the extent that any legal or regulatory issues or barriers arise with respect to the Settlement Documents, or any subpart thereof, the Parties shall work together in good faith and use reasonable efforts to modify the Settlement Documents to overcome any such legal or regulatory issues (including, for example, objections by the Commission, the DOJ or any applicable court) in a mutually acceptable fashion, but in no event shall either Party be required to agree to any modification of the Settlement Documents that materially affects the economic value of the transactions contemplated hereby. Should the Commission or DOJ or any applicable court, as the case may be, object to any such modifications, the Parties agree to continue to use reasonable efforts to modify, as many times as necessary, the Settlement Documents as required above in this Section 13. For purposes of this Settlement Agreement, “reasonable efforts” shall mean such reasonable, diligent and good-faith efforts as a Party would normally use to accomplish a similar objective under similar circumstances.

14. Term and Termination. This Settlement Agreement shall continue from the Effective Date until the later of: (a) the expiration of the last to expire of the Litigated Patents; and (b) the date of expiration of and regulatory exclusivity for Trokendi XR in the Territory. The releases and discharges set forth in Section 8 of this Settlement Agreement shall survive the termination of this Settlement Agreement. The License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect pursuant to its own terms notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Settlement Agreement.

15. Miscellaneous. The Settlement Documents are governed under the provisions of the following Sections of the License Agreement: 5 (Confidentiality); 10.1 and 10.2 (Notice); 10.3 (Assignment); 10.4 (Amendment); 10.5 (Public Announcement); 10.6 (Merger and Integration); 10.7 (Governing Law); 10.8 (Agreement Costs); 10.9 (Counterparts); 10.10 (Severability); 10.11 (Relationship of the Parties); 10.12 (Construction); 10.13 (Dispute Resolution); 10.14 (Cumulative Rights); 10.15 (No Third Party Benefit); 10.16 (Further Assurance); and 10.17 (Waiver).

10.3 Assignment.

10.3.1 Subject to Section 10.3.2, neither Party shall assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Settlement Documents without the prior written consent of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

** This portion has been redacted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

10.3.2 Each Party shall be entitled, without prior written consent of the other Party, to assign all, but not less than all, of its rights or obligations under the Settlement Documents to an Affiliate or transfer such rights and obligations to a successor entity by way of merger or acquisition of substantially all of the assets of such Party (whether by consolidation, sale of assets, or otherwise); provided the Affiliate or other successor entity expressly assumes in writing those rights, duties and obligations under the Settlement Documents and the Affiliate or other successor is a financially capable business entity. The assignment of the Settlement Documents by Actavis and its Affiliates shall not in any way affect Actavis’s or its Affiliates’ duties, obligations and admissions in the Settlement Documents.

10.3.3 Subject to the foregoing, the Settlement Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment or transfer in contravention of the terms of the Settlement Documents shall be null and void.

10.4 Amendment. The Settlement Documents may not be varied, changed, amended, supplemented, waived, discharged or terminated, including by course of conduct or trade usage, except by an instrument in writing signed by the Party against which enforcement of such variation, change, amendment, supplement, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

10.5 Public Announcements. The Parties shall maintain in confidence the terms of the Settlement Documents and the negotiations of the Parties pertaining thereto. Notwithstanding these obligations, (i) either Party may disclose such terms in discovery as otherwise required by court order, provided that the other Party shall be given the opportunity to (a) review and comment on the proposed disclosure reasonably in advance of the disclosure, and (b) quash such order and to obtain a protective order requiring that the information and documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court; (ii) either Party may disclose such terms on a need-to-know basis to such Party’s actual and prospective investors, prospective acquirers, underwriters and lenders, attorneys, accountants, insurers and FDA consultants, so long as the disclosed-to entity is bound by rules of professional conduct, or has agreed in writing and in advance to maintain the confidentiality of such information under terms no less restrictive than those set forth herein; (iii) Actavis may disclose such terms to the FDA as may be necessary or useful in obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval of the Actavis ANDA and launching the Actavis Product as provided by the Settlement Documents, so long as Actavis requests that the FDA maintain such terms in confidence, and (iv) either Party may disclose such terms as otherwise required by Law, including without limitation SEC reporting requirements, or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange to which the Parties are subject; provided that the Parties will coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the redaction of certain provisions of the Settlement Documents with respect to any SEC filings, and each Party shall use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for such terms; provided, however, that each Party shall ultimately retain control over what information to disclose to the SEC or any other such agencies. The foregoing notwithstanding, either Party may, without the consent of the other Party, issue a press release which states publicly that the Pending Litigation has been settled, that Actavis may launch the Actavis Products on January 1, 2023 (or earlier under certain circumstances) and that the remaining terms are

confidential (and such additional information as may be permitted pursuant to remainder of this Section 10.5.

10.6 Merger and Integration. The Settlement Documents supersede all prior discussions and writings of the Parties and constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained therein. Any breach of the License Agreement or Settlement Agreement shall constitute a breach of the Settlement Documents as a whole. Each of the Settlement Documents shall be deemed of equal dignity to each other and shall be construed together in a consistent manner as reflecting a single intent and purpose. It is agreed that: (i) neither Party has entered into any of the Settlement Documents in reliance upon any representation, warranty or undertaking of the other Party which is not expressly set out in the Settlement Documents; (ii) neither Party shall have any remedy in respect of misrepresentation or untrue statement made by the other Party or for any breach of warranty which is not contained in Settlement Documents; and (iii) this Section 10.6 shall not exclude any liability for, or remedy in respect of, fraudulent misrepresentation.

10.7 Governing Law. The Settlement Documents shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof. The Parties irrevocably agree that the Court (as such term is defined in the Settlement Agreement) shall have exclusive jurisdiction to deal with any disputes arising out of or in connection with the Settlement Agreement. The Parties irrevocably agree that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction to deal with any disputes arising out of or in connection with this License Agreement and that, accordingly, any proceedings arising out of or in connection with this License Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is any dispute for which the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the state courts in the county and state of New York shall have jurisdiction. In connection with any dispute arising out of or in connection with this License Agreement, each Party (i) hereby expressly consents and submits to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of New York and (ii) hereby irrevocably waives any right to a trial by jury.

10.8 Agreement Costs. Each Party shall pay its own costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and completion of the Settlement Documents.

10.9 Counterparts. The Settlement Documents shall become binding when any one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, bears the signatures of each of the Parties hereto. The Settlement Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts (including facsimile or e-mail counterparts), each of which shall be an original as against a Party whose signature appears thereon, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.10 Severability. If and to the extent that any provision of the Settlement Documents is held to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be given no effect and shall be deemed not to be included in the Settlement Documents but without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of the Settlement Documents.

10.11 Relationship of the Parties. In making and performing the Settlement Documents, the Parties are acting, and intend to be treated, as independent entities; and nothing contained in the Settlement Documents shall be construed or implied to create an agency, partnership, joint venture, or employer and employee relationship between Supernus and Actavis. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither Party may make any representation, warranty or commitment, whether express or implied, on behalf of or incur any charges or expenses for or in the name of the other Party.

10.12 Construction. The language in all parts of the Settlement Documents shall be construed, in all cases, according to its fair meaning. Supernus and Actavis acknowledge that each Party and its counsel have reviewed and revised the Settlement Documents and that any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be employed in the interpretation thereof. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in the Settlement Documents, shall refer to the agreements as a whole and not to any particular provision thereof. The terms defined in the singular shall have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. Whenever used herein, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall mean “include, without limitation,” “includes, without limitation” and “including, without limitation,” respectively. The masculine, feminine or neuter gender and the singular or plural number shall each be deemed to include the others whenever the context so indicates. With respect to any particular action or agreement, the use of the words “Supernus shall” or “Supernus will” herein shall also mean “Supernus shall cause” the particular action to be performed. Similarly, with respect to any particular action or agreement, the use of the words “Actavis shall” or “Actavis will” herein shall also mean “Actavis shall cause” the particular action to be performed. Nothing in the Settlement Documents shall operate to exclude any provision implied into the Settlement Documents by Law and which may not be excluded by Law or limit or exclude any liability, right or remedy to a greater extent than is permissible under Law.

10.13 Dispute Resolution.

10.13.1 Preliminary Process. If there is a disagreement between the Parties as to the interpretation of the Settlement Documents in relation to any aspect of the performance by either Party of its obligations thereunder, the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from either Party, meet in good faith and try to resolve the disagreement without recourse to legal proceedings.

10.13.2 Escalation of Dispute. If resolution of the disagreement does not occur within ten (10) Business Days after such meeting, the matter shall be escalated to applicable Actavis and Supernus Presidents (or other ranking senior executive) for resolution.

10.13.3 Equitable Relief. Nothing in this Section 10.13 restricts either Party’s freedom to seek urgent relief to preserve a legal right or remedy, or to protect a proprietary or trade secret right, or to otherwise seek legal remedies through any available channel if resolution is not otherwise achieved under this Section 10.13.

10.14 Cumulative Rights. The rights and remedies of each of the Parties under or pursuant to the Settlement Documents are cumulative, may be exercised as often as such Party considers appropriate and are in addition to its rights and remedies under general law.

10.15 No Third Party Benefit. The Settlement Documents shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in the Settlement Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or Persons any right, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of any of the Settlement Documents.

10.16 Further Assurance. Each of the Parties shall do, execute and perform and shall procure to be done and perform all such further acts, deeds, documents and things as the other Party may reasonably require from time to time to give full effect to the terms of the Settlement Documents.

10.17 Waiver. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right or remedy provided by law under or pursuant to the Settlement Documents shall impair such right or remedy or operate or be construed as a waiver, acquiescence or variation of it or preclude its exercise at any subsequent time and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. A waiver by a Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.
