(a) all Purchased IP set forth on Schedule 1.1(a);
(b) all rights of Seller and its Affiliates under all Contracts set forth on Schedule 1.1(b), including without limitation the Blackstone Agreement (and all rights and obligations thereunder as “Seller”) and the Exclusive License (and all rights thereunder as “Licensor”), as such Contracts may have been amended prior to the date hereof (the “Assumed Contracts”);
4929-2562-3925v.4
(c) all Regulatory Filings and Approvals set forth on Schedule 1.1(c);
(d) any and all intangibles and goodwill of Seller and its Affiliates arising from the Purchased IP;

(h) all claims (including claims for past infringement or misappropriation of the Purchased IP), causes of action, judgments and demands of whatever kind or description (regardless of whether or not such claims and causes of action have been asserted by Seller) that arise out of or relate to any of the Purchased Assets to the extent such claims, causes of action, judgments or demands are not Excluded Assets; and
(i) all rights of indemnification, warranty, contribution, credits, refunds, reimbursement and other rights of recovery (regardless of whether such rights are currently exercisable) possessed by Seller against Third Parties (excluding insurance carriers) that arise out of or relate to any of the Purchased Assets to the extent such rights of indemnification, warranty, contribution, credits, refunds, reimbursement or other rights of recovery are not Excluded Assets or do not relate to (or represent a counterclaim of Seller or its Affiliates in connection with) any Excluded Liability and provided that, with respect to any such rights the transfer of which is subject to Third Party consents, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure such consents, at Buyer’s expense.
Section 1.2 Excluded Assets. All assets, properties, rights and interests of Seller not included in the Purchased Assets are expressly excluded from the purchase and sale contemplated hereby and as such are not included in the Purchased Assets and shall remain the assets, property rights and interests of Seller (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”), which shall include the Excluded Contract and the Excluded Confidentiality Agreements. For clarity, Seller retains no right, title or interest in or to the Purchased Assets other than (i) the right to receive payments expressly provided for in Section 1.5 and (ii) access and copies of Assigned Books and Records as permitted by Section 1.10(b).
2
Section 1.3 Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall assume, and shall pay, perform, satisfy and discharge (or cause to be paid, performed, satisfied and discharged on behalf of Buyer) when due, the following Liabilities of Seller related to the Purchased Assets (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):
(a) any Liability of Seller arising under the Assumed Contracts, including, without limitation, the Blackstone Agreement, on or after the Closing pursuant to such Assumed Contracts;

(c) any Liability relating to product liability claims related to any Product if and to the extent such claims arise in respect of activities occurring on or after the Closing.
For clarity, ▇▇▇▇▇ does not assume any Liabilities arising out of any breach by Seller of any Assumed Contract. Further, the Parties agree that, effective as of the Closing, “Seller” under the Blackstone Agreement will be deemed to refer to Buyer, and Seller will no longer have any rights or obligations under the Blackstone Agreement.

(g) any Liability of Seller for any Tax; and
3

As applicable, Net Sales shall be translated into dollars using the average of the applicable daily exchange rates published in The Wall Street Journal (or any other qualified source that is acceptable to both Parties) for the last day of each month of the Calendar Quarter in which such Net Sales occurred. All payments due to Seller under this Agreement shall be paid in United States Dollars by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds.
Section 1.6 Tax Matters.
(a) Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law or under any applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to Seller. Each Party shall cooperate and otherwise take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain appropriate exemptions for or refunds of any such applicable Taxes and to minimize any such Taxes.
(b) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes that may become payable in connection with the sale and purchase of, payment for, delivery of, or transfer of title to the Purchased Assets to Purchaser within the United States shall be [***]; provided that Buyer shall be solely responsible for any such Transfer Taxes to the extent they become payable in connection with the delivery or transfer of Purchased Assets to Purchaser (or for the benefit of Purchaser) in a foreign jurisdiction. Seller shall bear responsibility for any Taxes imposed on Seller’s income. Buyer shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed by it under
5
Applicable Law, and Seller will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(d) such notices, consents and agreements as may be necessary or appropriate in order to complete the transactions contemplated hereby and assign to Buyer all rights and benefits under the Assumed Contracts; provided that Seller shall not be required to take any action that cannot be taken using commercially reasonable efforts; provided, further, that Seller shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses unless ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to reimburse Seller therefor.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure by Seller to obtain the consent of any Third Party to the assignment of any Assumed Contract prior to Closing shall not be a breach of Seller’s obligations under this Section 1.7, but Seller shall comply with its obligations under Section 4.5(c).
Section 1.8 Buyer Closing Deliveries. Buyer shall properly execute and deliver to Seller at the Closing:
(a) the Upfront Payment;
(b) the Bill of Sale, duly executed by ▇▇▇▇▇;

clinical-related issues, at no additional cost to Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees that the cooperation and assistance that it will provide under this Section 1.11(b) will include, without limitation, (i) explanations and clarifications with respect to the use and implementation of such Know-How, and (ii) the disclosure of all pertinent factual or other information, data and documents that is in Seller’s possession and that has not already been transferred to Buyer, including (a) technical information, data, results, reports, protocols, specifications, formulation methods, stability data, manufacturing processes (including upstream and downstream processes), quality control procedures, analytical methods, validation data, and standard operating procedures, (b) pre-clinical and clinical data (including toxicology and pharmacokinetic data), study protocols, regulatory filings and correspondence (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and subject to Third Party obligations), and safety data, and (c) any other information, documents, materials, samples, or instructions that are necessary or reasonably useful to enable Buyer, its Affiliates or licensees to Exploit the Products.

Section 2.2 Consents, Authorization and Enforceability.
(a) No material consent, waiver, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or notice to any Governmental Authority is required by, or with respect to, Seller or the Purchased Assets in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for (i) any notice filings or registrations of transfer with any Governmental Authority that may be required in connection with the assignment and transfer of the Purchased Assets that are described on Section 2.2(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, except for those to be performed or made to evidence the transfer of Purchased Assets after the Closing in connection with the Transaction Documents, and (ii) such other material consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations or notices, if any, described on Section 2.2(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.
(b) All requisite corporate action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and each of the other agreements contemplated hereby to which a Seller is or will be a party and the
8
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby has been taken. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or other similar Applicable Law or equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally.
Section 2.3 Title to Assets.
(a) Seller has good and marketable title to all of the Purchased Assets. Seller holds all of the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Liens except for the following Liens (collectively, “Permitted Liens”): (a) those Liens set forth on Section 2.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, (b) Liens released prior to the Closing, (c) mechanics’, materialmen’s, carriers’, workmen’s, warehousemen’s, repairmen’s, landlords’ or other like Liens and security obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business for immaterial amounts, and (d) statutory liens for Taxes, assessments or other statutory or governmental charges not yet due and payable.
(b) The Purchased Assets constitute all of the assets, tangible and intangible, owned or licensed by Seller and its Affiliates material to the Compounds as conducted by Seller at any time prior to the date hereof.
(c) The Purchased Assets constitute all of the assets, tangible and intangible, owned or licensed by Seller and its Affiliates that are necessary or reasonably useful to exercise the rights or perform the obligations of Seller under the Blackstone Agreement.
Section 2.4 Non-Contravention. Except as set forth on Section 2.4 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller does not and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Seller will not (a) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or similar governance documents that may be applicable to Seller, (b) result in a breach (or any event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach) of any material term or provision of, or constitute a material default under, any Assumed Contract or other Contract material to the Compounds to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or the Purchased Assets are bound, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) result in the creation of any Lien on the Purchased Assets (other than a Permitted Lien), or (d) violate in any material respect any Applicable Law or any judgment, decree, order, regulation or rule of any Governmental Authority by which Seller is bound or subject.
Section 2.5 Contracts and Commitments.
(a) There is not under any Assumed Contract: (A) any existing material default by Seller or, to Seller’s Knowledge, by any other party thereto, or (B) any event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a material default by Seller or, to Seller’s Knowledge, by any other party, or result in a right to accelerate or terminate or result in a loss of any material rights of Seller, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Assumed Contracts set forth on Schedule 1.1(b) are all of the Contracts to which Seller and its Affiliates are a party that are currently in effect and are material to the
9
Compounds. True, correct and complete copies of all Assumed Contracts have been made available to Buyer in the Data Room (to the extent in Seller’s possession).
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Seller’s representations and warranties under the Blackstone Agreement were true and accurate, in all material respects, as of the closing (or as of the relevant time period stated therein) of the Blackstone Agreement.
Section 2.6 Intellectual Property.
(a) Schedule 1.1(a) sets forth a list of all Patents related to the Compounds and owned by Seller, specifying as applicable: (i) the title thereof, if any; (ii) the registration or application number thereof, if any; and (iii) the jurisdiction in which such item exists or is registered. Except as set forth on Section 2.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, there are no outbound licenses, options or rights granted by Seller to any Person with respect to the Purchased IP or any other similar agreements to which Seller is a party pursuant to which Seller permits any other Person to use any Purchased IP. All Purchased IP consisting of issued registrations are valid and enforceable.
(b) There are no claims pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened in writing by or against Seller or before any Governmental Authority, challenging the validity of any Purchased IP. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not alter or impair any of Seller’s right, title or interest in or to all Purchased IP. To Seller’s Knowledge, no Person has infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated, and no Person is currently infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating, any claim of an issued (granted) and unexpired Patent within the Purchased IP. To Seller’s Knowledge, no Action has been instituted or is pending against Seller or has been threatened in writing that challenges the right of Seller with respect to its use or ownership of the Purchased IP.
(c) Seller has taken commercially reasonable measures to protect, preserve and maintain the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all trade secrets and all other confidential material information included within the Purchased IP.
(d) To Seller’s Knowledge, Seller and its employees and agents have not engaged in any conduct or omitted to perform any necessary act, the result of which reasonably could be expected to invalidate any of the Purchased Patents.
(e) To Seller’s Knowledge, the Purchased IP and the Compounds do not violate, infringe or misappropriate the Intellectual Property Rights of any Third Party.
(f) None of the Purchased IP is subject to any settlements, covenants not to sue, standstill or similar agreements that would limit Buyer’s practice, enforcement or enjoyment of the Purchased IP. None of the Purchased IP is subject to any non-compete, grant-back, field restriction or most-favored nation provisions (other than the Exclusive License).
(g) To Seller’s Knowledge, each Person who is or was an employee, officer or contractor of Seller or its Affiliates who contributed in any material respect to the creation or development of the Purchased IP has signed an agreement containing obligations of
10
confidentiality and an assignment to Seller or its Affiliates of all Intellectual Property Rights in such individual’s or entity’s contribution to the Purchased IP.
