(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Novo Nordisk in this Agreement (or any breach of any covenant or agreement of Novo Nordisk or any of its Subsidiaries in this Agreement prior to the Closing);

provided that Novo Nordisk shall not be liable for any Novo Nordisk Warranty Breach (other than in respect of a breach of any Novo Nordisk Fundamental Representation) unless the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to all such Novo Nordisk Warranty Breaches exceeds US$375,000, and Novo Nordisk’s maximum liability with respect to all such Novo Nordisk Warranty Breaches shall not exceed US$3,750,000.

Section 7.04. Third-Party Claim Procedures.

(a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by any third party (“Third-Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought thereunder. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third-Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.04, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party for such defense, in each case at its own expense; provided that prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must (i) acknowledge that, based on the facts set forth in the notice required by Section 7.04(a), it would have an indemnity obligation for the Damages resulting from such Third-Party Claim as provided under this Article 7 and (ii) furnish the Indemnified Party with reasonably satisfactory evidence that the Indemnifying Party has adequate resources to defend the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnity obligations hereunder.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim if (i) the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the acknowledgment and evidence referred to in Section 7.04(b) within 30 days of receipt of notice

of the Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 7.04(a), (ii) the Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (iii) the Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iv) the Third-Party Claim relates to or otherwise involves a claim by a Governmental Authority or a customer of Strongbridge, (v) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend the Third-Party Claim vigorously or (vi) in the case of a Novo Nordisk Indemnified Party, the amount of the Third-Party Claim, if determined in accordance with the claimant’s demands, would reasonably be expected to result in any Damages, together with all other unresolved claims for indemnification by the Novo Nordisk Indemnified Parties, that would not be available for recovery under this Article 7.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.04, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such Third-Party Claim; provided that consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required for any such settlement if (i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Novo Nordisk Indemnified Parties or the Strongbridge Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Third-Party Claim and does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Novo Nordisk Indemnified Parties or the Strongbridge Indemnified Parties, as the case may be. An Indemnified Party may not settle any Third-Party Claim for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the Indemnified Party may admit liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent so long as the Indemnified Party releases, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnifying Party, any claims to indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Article 7.

(e) In circumstances where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided that in such event the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) to the extent incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date that the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third-Party Claim or (ii) if the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that (A) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense of such claim or (B) there may be one or more defenses or claims available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and that could be materially adverse to the Indemnifying Party. In the case of the foregoing clause (ii), the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed with respect to such Third-Party Claim and cooperate with the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

(f) Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records,

information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 7.05. Direct Claim Procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing within 30 days following the receipt of a notice with respect to any such claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its indemnity obligation to the Indemnified Party for any Damages with respect to such claim, such Damages shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to prompt payment of all Damages arising out of such claim in accordance with this Article 7. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its indemnity obligation for any Damages with respect to such claim, the parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 9.07.

Section 7.06. Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provisions contained in this Article 7 shall be the exclusive remedy for any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or any other matter arising pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except claims based upon Fraud.

Section 7.07. Purchase Price Adjustment. Any amount paid by Strongbridge or Novo Nordisk under this Article 7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE III
Registration Rights

Section 3.1 Registration on Request. (a) After the date that is one year following the Closing Date, if the Company receives a written request (a “Registration Request”) from any Shareholder Party that the Company file a Registration Statement covering the registration of Registrable Securities as of the date of such Registration Request, then the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as possible, effect the registration of such portion of the Registrable Securities set forth in such Registration Request in accordance with the intended method of distribution stated in such Registration Request, pursuant to a Registration Statement, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities to be so registered. The Registration Request pursuant to this Section 3.1 must be in writing and specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the intended method of distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to file a Registration Statement requested pursuant to this Section 3.1:

(i) on a total of more than one occasion (if, on such occasion, the registration shall have been deemed to have been effected in accordance with Section 3.1(b) of this Agreement);

(ii) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service of process in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the 1933 Act; or

(iii) if the Shareholder Parties propose to dispose of Registrable Securities that may be registered at such time pursuant to a Registration Statement contemplated in Section 3.2.

(b) The registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.1 will not be deemed to have been effected unless the Registration Statement has become effective; provided, however, that if, within the period ending on the earlier to occur of (i) 90 days after the applicable Registration Statement has become effective (provided, that such period will be extended for a period of time equal to the period the holder of Registrable Securities refrains from selling any securities included in such Registration Statement at the request of the Company or the lead managing underwriter(s) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) and (ii) the date on which the distribution of the securities covered thereby has been completed, the offering of securities pursuant to such Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other Governmental Authority, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to have been effected; provided, further, that if the requesting Shareholder Parties, after exercising their right to request a registration pursuant to this Section 3.1 withdraw from a registration so requested after the filing thereof, such registration will be deemed to have been effective with respect to the Shareholder Parties in accordance with this Section 3.1.

(c) The Company may postpone the filing or effectiveness of any Registration Statement and suspend the Shareholder Parties’ use of any prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement (in which event the Shareholder Parties will discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement) for a period of up to an aggregate of 60 days, and no more than twice, in any 365-day period, exclusive of days covered by any lock-up agreement executed by the Shareholder Parties in connection with any underwritten Public Offering after the request for registration pursuant to this Section 3.1 if the Company delivers to the Shareholder Parties a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that the conditions constituting a Material Disclosure Event exist at such time.

(d) The Company will have the right to cause the registration of additional securities for sale for the account of any Person other than the Shareholder Parties (including the Company) in any registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.1 to the extent the managing underwriter or other independent marketing agent for such offering (if any) determines that, in its sole judgment, the additional securities proposed to be sold will not reasonably be expected to jeopardize the success of the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition then contemplated by such registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.1.

(e) If the registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.1 involves an underwritten Public Offering, the requesting Shareholder Parties will, after consultation in good faith with the Company, select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will serve as managing underwriters (including which such managing underwriters will serve as lead or co-lead) and underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities; provided, that such investment banker(s) and manager(s) are reasonably acceptable to the Company (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 3.2 Piggyback Registration. (a) Subject to and after the expiration of the period set forth in Section 2.1, if the Company proposes or is required to file a Registration Statement or related prospectus supplement under the 1933 Act with respect to an offering of any

Ordinary Shares, whether or not for sale for its own account (other than a Registration Statement (i) on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or any similar form or (ii) filed solely in connection with any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan), then the Company will give prompt written notice of such proposed filing at least 10 Business Days before the anticipated filing date (the “Piggyback Notice”) to the Shareholder Parties. Such Piggyback Notice must specify the number of Ordinary Shares proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such Registration Statement or related prospectus supplement, as applicable, with the SEC, the proposed means of distribution, the proposed managing underwriter(s) (if any) and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed minimum offering price of such Ordinary Shares. The Piggyback Notice will offer the Shareholder Parties the opportunity to include in such Registration Statement or related prospectus supplement, as applicable, the number of Registrable Securities as it may request (a “Piggyback Registration”), subject to Section 3.2(b). The Company will include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein from any Shareholder Party within six (6) Business Days after the Company has sent the Piggyback Notice, subject to Section 3.2(b).

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Shareholder Party is participating the Shareholder shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and Section 20 of the 1934 Act) the Company, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any prospectus or preliminary prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 3.8(b)) will reimburse the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and Section 20 of the 0000 Xxx) for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, in each case solely to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, or any prospectus or preliminary prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus or any amendment or

supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Shareholder Parties for inclusion in such Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Shareholder Party will be liable under this Section 3.8(b) for amounts in excess of the net proceeds received by such Shareholder Party in the offering giving rise to such liability.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice will not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.

(d) In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the indemnifying party with respect to such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists or (ii) the indemnifying party will have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party will be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the reasonable expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate legal counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, for all indemnified parties in connection therewith)). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any such assumption by an indemnifying party, the indemnified party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence. An indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No matter may be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (iii) does not involve any injunctive or equitable relief that would be binding on the indemnified party or any payment that is not covered by the indemnification hereunder.

(e) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the disposal of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement.
