(b)At any time prior to the Distribution Effective Time, Parent may, in its sole discretion, elect to designate additional RemainCo Assets as SpinCo Assets, such that such Assets will be assigned to or remain with SpinCo at the closing of the Distribution; provided, that (i) any such designated RemainCo Assets must be primarily related to the Therapeutics Business, and (ii) the designation of such Assets as SpinCo Assets may not result in the assumption of additional SpinCo Liabilities by SpinCo that exceed the value of such Assets.  To the extent that the designation of any such Assets as SpinCo Assets would result in the assumption of additional SpinCo Liabilities by SpinCo that exceed the value of such Assets, or
    -22-

(i)Generally.

Prior to the Distribution, SpinCo shall adopt an equity compensation plan under which the SpinCo Options and SpinCo RSUs shall be issued with terms consistent with this Section 4.5(b), subject to the prior review and reasonable comment by Parent, which such reasonable comments shall be incorporated into such equity compensation plan.

(ii)Post-Spin Biohaven Options. The number of shares underlying each Post-Spin Biohaven Option shall equal the number of shares underlying the applicable Pre-Spin Biohaven Option. The exercise price of each Post-Spin Biohaven Option shall equal the product, rounded up to the nearest cent, of (A) the exercise price of the applicable Pre-Spin Biohaven Option multiplied by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the RemainCo Per Share Value by (2) the Combined Per Share Value. The Post-Spin Biohaven Option shall otherwise receive the same treatment, and be subject to the same terms and conditions, as the Pre-Spin Biohaven Option.
    -33-






(iii)SpinCo Options. The number of SpinCo Common Shares underlying each SpinCo Option shall equal the number of shares underlying the applicable Pre-Spin Biohaven Option multiplied by the Distribution Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

Each SpinCo Option shall be otherwise subject to terms and conditions substantially the same as the applicable Pre-Spin Biohaven Option.
(iv)Post-Spin Biohaven RSUs. The number of restricted stock units subject to each Post-Spin Biohaven RSU shall equal the number of shares subject to the applicable Pre-Spin Biohaven RSU, with any applicable performance conditions deemed achieved at 100%.
(v)SpinCo RSUs.

In any event, if the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the Proceeding within thirty (30) days after receiving a Claim Notice with respect to the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume such defense, and the fees and expenses of its attorneys will be covered by the indemnity provided for in this ARTICLE V. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such Proceeding) or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) which does not, to the extent that an Indemnified Party may have any Liability with respect to such Proceeding, include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a written release from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii) which includes any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or (iii) in any manner that involves any injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party or that may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may not compromise or settle
    -45-





any pending or threatened Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the sole relief granted is equitable relief for which the Indemnifying Party would have no Liability or to which the Indemnifying Party would not be subject.
(c)The Parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. In connection with any fact, matter, event or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall: (i) preserve all material evidence relevant to the claim; (ii) allow the Indemnifying Party’s Representatives to investigate the fact, matter, event or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim; and (iii) disclose (at its own expense) to the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives all material of which it is aware which relates to the claim and provide all such information and assistance, including access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records, as the Indemnifying Party or its Representatives may reasonably request, subject to the Indemnifying Party or its Representatives agreeing in such form as the Indemnified Party may reasonably require to keep all such information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of investigating and defending the claim in question.
(d)Except in the case of intentional fraud and as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies under this ARTICLE V are exclusive and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies that any Party may have against any other Party or any failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement. Each Party expressly waives any and all other rights, remedies and causes of action it or its Affiliates may have against the other Party, or their respective Affiliates, respectively, now or in the future under any Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The remedies expressly provided in this Agreement shall constitute the sole and exclusive basis for and means of recourse between the Parties with respect to transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 5.5Limitation of Liability; Mitigation.
(a)No Party may obtain duplicative indemnification or other recovery for Losses and recoveries under one or more provisions of this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement or under any other Contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding.
(b)Each Indemnified Party shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available to mitigate and minimize any Losses in respect of which such Indemnified Party is entitled to recover from an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE V promptly upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise to such Losses; provided that such efforts in respect of Taxes shall not be required to the extent such efforts give rise to a greater than de minimis cost to the Indemnified Party.
    -46-






(c)Any indemnity payment made by a Party to the other Party pursuant to this ARTICLE V in respect of a Loss shall be net of an amount equal to (i) any insurance proceeds actually received and any other amounts actually recovered from Third Parties (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) by the Indemnified Party or an Affiliate in respect of such claim, less (ii) any related costs and expenses of such receipt or recovery, including the aggregate cost of pursuing any related insurance claims. If the Indemnified Party or an Affiliate receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliate, net of expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.
(d)An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any Third Party insurance proceeds or other indemnification, contribution or similar payments to which the Indemnified Party is entitled in connection with any Liability for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE V; provided that the Indemnified Party’s ability or inability to collect or recover any such insurance proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement.
(e)The amount of any claim by an Indemnified Party under this Agreement (i) shall be reduced to reflect any actual Tax savings or insurance proceeds received by any Indemnified Party that result from the Losses that gave rise to such indemnity and (ii) shall be increased by an amount equal to any Tax cost incurred by any Indemnified Party that results from receipt of payments under this ARTICLE V.
Section 5.6Tax Matters.
(a)Other than as provided under Section 5.3, Section 5.6(b), and Section 5.6(c) in respect of SpinCo, each Party is responsible for its own Taxes as imposed under applicable Law, and no indemnification shall be provided under this Agreement by either Party with respect to Taxes.
(b)SpinCo shall be liable for any SpinCo Indemnified Taxes. “SpinCo Indemnified Taxes” shall mean, without duplication, (i) any and all Taxes arising in respect of (x) the SpinCo Indemnifiable Pre-Closing Reorganization Steps or (y) the Distribution; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that each of the foregoing shall not include any Taxes imposed by reason of Section 965(l) of the Code; (ii) any payroll Taxes that are deferred under the CARES Act from a Pre-Distribution Tax Period to a subsequent tax period under the CARES Act for SpinCo Employees, and that would have been accrued Taxes of the Company for a Pre-
    -47-





Distribution Tax Period but for such deferral; and (iii) any Transfer Taxes allocated to SpinCo and its Subsidiaries under Section 5.6(c).
(c)The Company and SpinCo each hereby agree, any transfer, excise, sales, use, value added, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation taxes and other similar Taxes, fees and charges (including real property transfer taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby, together with any inflation adjustment, interest, penalties or additions with respect thereto (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 100% by SpinCo; provided, that such Transfer Taxes shall not include any Taxes (a) arising in respect of any transaction undertaken by Parent, RemainCo or their Affiliates following the Closing (including any Section 338(g) Election or any liquidation (including a deemed liquidation for tax purposes) or merger of any of the RemainCo or its Affiliates), or (b) arising by reason of the forward merger which Parent elects to undertake pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement; provided, further, that the SpinCo Indemnifiable Irish Tax Duty shall be borne by SpinCo. The Parties agree to cooperate to minimize or eliminate any Transfer Taxes, including any Irish stamp tax duty. The Party legally required to do so shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any Transfer Taxes and pay any such Transfer Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority, and the other Parties shall cooperate in connection with the filing of such Tax Returns.
(d)With respect to all reports, applications, registrations, filings or other documents required in connection with the Pre-Closing Reorganization pursuant to Bulletin of the PRC State Administration of Taxation 2015 No. 7, i.e. Pronouncement of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues of Corporate Income Tax on Indirect Transfers of Assets by Non-resident Enterprises to the State Taxation Administration of the People’s Republic of China and its subordinates (collectively, the “PRC Indirect Transfer Tax Filings”), the Company shall (i) no later than five (5) days prior to the due date for such PRC Indirect Transfer Tax Filings, provide Parent (or its Affiliate) with a draft of all such filings (ii) reflect in the PRC Indirect Transfer Tax Filings any reasonable comments that Parent (or its Affiliate) submits to the Company in a timely manner, (iii) if so requested by Parent (or its Affiliate), permit Parent (or its Affiliate) to participate (at its own cost) in such PRC Indirect Transfer Tax Filings on a joint deal reporting basis, and (iv) timely file all such PRC Indirect Transfer Tax Filings with the State Taxation Administration of the People’s Republic of China or an applicable subordinate. The Parties shall timely cooperate in connection with the preparation and timely filing of such PRC Indirect Transfer Tax Filings, including with respect to the initial preparation of such filings.
(e)SpinCo shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns relating to any SpinCo Indemnified Taxes to the extent Tax liabilities shown thereon are solely in respect of SpinCo Indemnified Taxes (such Tax Returns, “SpinCo Prepared Returns”). Unless otherwise required by Law, such SpinCo Prepared Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior Tax Returns and the Intended Tax Treatment. SpinCo shall submit each such SpinCo Prepared Return to the Company at least thirty (30) days (or, in the case of any such Tax Return due within thirty (30) days of the Distribution Date, as soon as reasonably practicable) prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions of the time to
    -48-





file) for the Company’s review, and SpinCo shall consider in good faith any comments proposed by the Company. The Parties shall file all their Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and shall not take any position to the contrary unless required by the applicable Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall SpinCo (or its Affiliates) have access to, or the right to prepare or examine, any Tax Return other than a Tax Return of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement).
(f)SpinCo and RemainCo shall jointly prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns relating to both (x) SpinCo Indemnified Taxes and (y) Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are not SpinCo Indemnified Taxes (such Tax Returns, “Jointly Prepared Returns”). Unless otherwise required by Law, such Jointly Prepared Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior Tax Returns and the Intended Tax Treatment. SpinCo and RemainCo shall cooperate in good faith in resolving any comments or disputes with respect to such Jointly Prepared Returns, and no Party shall file such Tax Returns without the other Party’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall SpinCo (or its Affiliates) have access to, or the right to prepare or examine of, any Tax Return other than a Tax Return of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement).
(g)A Party or its Subsidiary that is entitled to file an amended Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Tax Period shall be permitted to prepare and file an amended Tax Return at its own cost and expense; provided, however, that (i) such amended Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Parties and their Affiliates unless otherwise modified by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or any similar state, local or non-U.S. law) or required by applicable Law; and (ii) if such amended Tax Return is reasonably expected to result in the other Party becoming responsible for a payment of Taxes shown thereon or pursuant to this Section 5.6, such amended Tax Return shall be permitted only if the prior written consent of such other Party is obtained, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(h)Each Party shall be entitled to refunds (including any similar credit or offset of Taxes) that relate to Taxes for which it is liable hereunder in accordance with this Section 5.6 or for which the Party is otherwise responsible, net of any reduction for reasonable costs and additional Taxes in connection thereto.
Section 5.7Tax Contests.
(a)The Company shall notify SpinCo within twenty (20) business days after receipt by it or any of its Affiliates of written notice of any pending federal, state, local or foreign Tax audit or examination or notice of deficiency or other adjustment, assessment or redetermination relating to SpinCo Indemnified Taxes (“Tax Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve SpinCo of any of its obligations under this Section 5.7, except to the extent that SpinCo is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. Such
    -49-





notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the taxing authority.
(b)SpinCo shall control, at its own expense, any Tax Claim to the extent Tax liabilities asserted therein (or are reasonably expected to be asserted in the future) that are solely SpinCo Indemnified Taxes (such Tax Claim, “SpinCo Controlled Claim”); provided, however, that with respect to any such claim, SpinCo shall (i) keep the Company reasonably informed of material developments with respect to such SpinCo Controlled Claim, (ii) consult with the Company before taking any significant or material action in connection with such SpinCo Controlled Claim and (iii) to the extent such Tax Claim is reasonably expected to give rise to Taxes of the Company, Subsidiaries, or their Affiliates that are not SpinCo Indemnified Taxes, not settle, compromise or abandon any such SpinCo Controlled Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). SpinCo and RemainCo shall jointly control, at each Party’s own expense, any Tax Claim with respect to Jointly Prepared Returns (such Tax Claim, “Jointly Controlled Claim”). With respect to any Jointly Controlled Claim, each Party shall (i) keep the other Party reasonably informed of material developments with respect to such Jointly Controlled Claim, (ii) consult with the other Party before taking any significant or material action in connection with such Jointly Controlled Claim and (iii) not settle, compromise or abandon any such Jointly Controlled Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall SpinCo (or its Affiliates) control any Tax Claim to the extent it relates to any Tax Return other than a Tax Return of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement).
(c)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.4(a) and Section 5.4(b) (Claims), the provisions of this Section 5.7 shall exclusively control with respect to any Tax Claim.
(d)Except for the provisions of Section 5.6 and foregoing provisions of this Section 5.7, any and all Tax sharing, Tax allocation, Tax indemnity or similar agreements, arrangements, or practices (including any advance pricing agreement, closing agreement or other similar written agreement relating to Taxes with any Governmental Authority, but excluding (i) customary commercial Contracts the primary purpose of which is unrelated to Taxes and (ii) any agreements or arrangements solely between SpinCo and SpinCo Subsidiaries) to which SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise subject shall be terminated as of the Distribution Date and after the Distribution Date neither of SpinCo nor any of its Affiliates shall be bound thereby, have any Liability thereunder, or be obligated to make any payment thereunder.

(b)Except as specifically provided in ARTICLE V (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern), after the Distribution Date, upon the prior written request by a member of the RemainCo Group for specific and identified Records which relate to the Company or the conduct of the CGRP Business, or which the Company determines are necessary or advisable in order for the Company to prepare its financial statements and any reports or filings to be made with any Governmental Authority, SpinCo shall arrange, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, to provide appropriate copies of such Records (or the originals thereof if the Company has a reasonable purpose for such originals) in the possession or control of any member of the SpinCo Group, but only to the extent such items are not already in the possession or control of the requesting Party.
Section 6.2Access to Information. Except as specifically provided in ARTICLE V (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern), and subject to applicable Law, for a period of five (5) years following the Distribution Date, upon reasonable prior notice, each of the Company and SpinCo shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford the other applicable Party’s officers and other authorized Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to its employees and properties that relate to such other Party’s Business and, during such period, each Party shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to the other Party all information concerning such other Party’s Business, as applicable, and such other Party’s properties and personnel related thereto as may be reasonably requested; provided, that the foregoing shall not require any Party or such Party’s Subsidiaries to (i) permit any inspection, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of such Party would (A) be detrimental to such Party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Business or operations, (B) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of Third Parties or violate any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality, (C) be reasonably likely to result in a violation of any Law or (D) if SpinCo or any of its Affiliates after giving effect to the Distribution, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Affiliates after giving effect to the Distribution, on the other hand, are adverse parties in a litigation or other Proceeding to disclose or permit access to any information
    -51-





that is reasonably pertinent to such litigation or other Proceeding, (ii) disclose any Privileged Information of any Party or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) submit to any invasive environmental testing or sampling.
Section 6.3Tax Information and Cooperation. The Company and SpinCo shall reasonably cooperate and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to reasonably cooperate, in respect of the Pre-Closing Reorganization, the Distribution, Irish stamp duty clearance, if applicable, and in preparing and filing all Tax Returns relating to any Pre-Distribution Tax Period, including maintaining and making available to each other, and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested, all records reasonably necessary in connection with Taxes of SpinCo or the Therapeutics Business and in resolving all disputes and audits relating to Taxes allocable to a Pre-Distribution Tax Period. The Company and SpinCo agree that for U.S. federal income tax (and all applicable other) purposes (i) Biohaven Therapeutic Limited shall be treated as an association taxable as a corporation through the end of the Closing Date, (ii) as part of the Pre-Closing Reorganization, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a direct owner of equity interests in a domestic partnership or a domestic corporation (each as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) transfer the equity interests in such entity, and (iii) to the extent the Closing Date is on or prior to December 31, 2022, the taxable year of the Company for 2022 shall not close earlier than the Closing. The Company and SpinCo agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to retain all books and records (or, in the alternative, to deliver such books and records to SpinCo) with respect to Tax matters pertinent to SpinCo or the Therapeutics Business relating to any Tax period beginning before the Distribution Date until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority and (ii) to allow the other Party and its Representatives, at times and dates mutually acceptable to the Parties, to inspect, review and make copies of such records as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate from time to time, such activities to be conducted during normal business hours and at such Party’s expense. The Party requesting such cooperation will bear the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the other Party. In no event shall any Party be entitled to receive information under this Section 6.3 that does not relate solely to SpinCo or the Therapeutics Business except that, in the case of Tax information relating in part to SpinCo or the Therapeutics Business, a Party otherwise required to provide Tax information under this Section 6.3 shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Tax information as relates solely to SpinCo or the Therapeutics Business (which may include, to the extent commercially reasonable, redacted versions of such information that show solely the portions of the relevant materials that relate solely to SpinCo or the Therapeutics Business). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.3 shall be subject to the last sentence of Section 5.6(d).
Section 6.4Witnesses; Documents and Cooperation in Proceedings. At all times from and after the Distribution Date, each of the Company and SpinCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other, upon reasonable written request, its and its Subsidiaries’ former and then-current Representatives as witnesses and any Records within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available without undue burden, to the extent that such Persons or Records may reasonably be required in connection with the prosecution or defense of any Proceeding in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved. The requesting Party shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
    -52-





incurred in connection therewith. This provision shall not apply to any Proceeding brought by one Party against another Party (as to which production of documents and witnesses shall be governed by applicable discovery rules).
(b)Without limiting any provision of this Section 6.4, the Parties shall cooperate and consult, and shall cause each member of their respective Groups to cooperate and consult, to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Proceedings.
(c)In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 6.4, the Parties will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any member of any Group.
Section 6.5Confidentiality. (a) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, except that the nondisclosure obligations and restrictions on use with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a Trade Secret shall continue in effect for so long as the Confidential Information remains a Trade Secret under applicable Law, each Party shall, and shall cause each of the other members of its Group to, hold, and cause each of their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, at a standard of care no less than that used for its own Confidential Information (and in any event no less than a reasonable standard of care), and not to disclose or release or except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, use, without the prior written consent of each Party to whom (or to whose Group) the Confidential Information relates (which may be withheld in each such Party’s sole and absolute discretion), any and all Confidential Information concerning or belonging to another Party or any member of its Group; provided that each Party may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, such Confidential Information (i) to its (or any member of its Group’s) respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate employees, consultants and advisors who have a need to know such Confidential Information for auditing and other purposes and are informed of the confidentiality and non-use obligations to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the applicable Party will be responsible, (ii) if any Party or any member of its Group is required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule, (iii) to the extent required in connection with any Proceeding by one Party (or a member of its Group) against any other Party (or member of such other Party’s Group) or in respect of claims by one Party (or member of its Group) against the other Party (or member of such other Party’s Group) brought in a Proceeding, (iv) to the extent necessary in order to permit a Party (or member of its Group) to prepare and disclose its financial statements in connection with any regulatory filings or Tax Returns, (v) to the extent necessary for a Party (or member of its Group) to enforce its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, (vi) to any Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable procurement regulations and contract requirements or (vii) to other Persons in connection with their evaluation of, and negotiating and consummating, a potential strategic transaction, to the extent reasonably necessary in connection therewith, provided an appropriate and customary confidentiality agreement has been entered into with the Person receiving such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
    -53-





demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made by a Third Party that relates to clauses (ii), (iii), (vi) or (vii) above, each Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify (to the extent permissible by Law) the Party to whom (or to whose Group) the Confidential Information relates of the existence of such request, demand or disclosure requirement and shall provide such Party (and/or any applicable member of its Group) a reasonable opportunity to seek, at its expense, an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which such Parties shall, and shall cause the other members of their respective Group to, cooperate in obtaining to the extent reasonably practicable. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party who is (or whose Group’s member is) required to make such disclosure shall or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to furnish (at the expense of the Party seeking to limit such request, demand or disclosure requirement), or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded to such Confidential Information (at the expense of the Party seeking (or whose Group’s member is seeking) to limit such request, demand or disclosure requirement).
(b)Each of SpinCo and the Company acknowledges, on behalf of itself and each other member of its Group, that it and the other members of its Group may have in their possession confidential or proprietary information of Third Parties that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements or policies with each such Third Party while such Party and/or members of its Group were Subsidiaries of the Company prior to the Distribution Date. Each of SpinCo and the Company shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group to, hold and cause its and their respective Representatives (or potential buyers) to hold, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of Third Parties to which they or any other member of their respective Groups has access, in accordance with the terms of any policies or agreements entered into prior to the Distribution Date between one or more members of the SpinCo Group and/or the RemainCo Group (whether acting through, on behalf of, or in connection with, the separated Businesses) and such Third Parties.
(c)For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.5, the disclosure and sharing of Privileged Information shall be governed solely by Section 6.6. For clarity, to the extent that any Contract or policy to which a Party is bound or its Confidential Information is subject provides that certain Confidential Information shall be maintained confidential on a basis that is more protective of such Confidential Information or for a longer period of time than provided for in this Section 6.5, then the applicable provisions contained in such Contract or policy shall control with respect thereto.
Section 6.6Privileged Matters. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Distribution Date have been and will be rendered for the benefit of each of the members of the RemainCo Group and the members of the SpinCo Group, and that each of the members of the RemainCo Group and each of the members of the SpinCo Group should be deemed to be the client for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law. To allocate the interests of each Party in the information as to which any Party is entitled to assert a privilege, the Parties agree as follows:
    -54-






(a)The Company shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with Privileged Information that relates exclusively to the CGRP Business (other than with respect to Liabilities as to which SpinCo is required to provide indemnification under ARTICLE V), whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of the Company or SpinCo. The Company shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges, immunities or other protections in connection with any Privileged Information that relates exclusively to the subject matter of any claims constituting RemainCo Liabilities, or other Liabilities as to which it is required to provide indemnification under ARTICLE V, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of any member of the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group.
(b)SpinCo shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with Privileged Information which relates exclusively to the Therapeutics Business (other than with respect to matters or claims that are RemainCo Liabilities or other Liabilities as to which the Company is required to provide indemnification under ARTICLE V), whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of the Company or SpinCo. SpinCo shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges, immunities or other protections in connection with any Privileged Information which relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting SpinCo Liabilities, or other Liabilities as to which it is required to provide indemnification under ARTICLE V, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other Proceedings initiated against or by SpinCo, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of SpinCo or under the control of any member of the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group.
(c)The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 6.6, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Section 6.6(a) and (b).
(d)No Party may waive any privilege which may be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the other Party has a shared privilege, without the written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except to the extent reasonably required in connection with any Third Party Claims or as provided in Section 6.6(e) below.
(e)In the event of any litigation or dispute between or among the Parties, or any members of the respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party, provided, however, that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Privileged Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the members of the respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third Party Claims.
    -55-






(f)If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or any members of the respective Groups regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party, each Party agrees that it shall (i) negotiate in good faith, (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and (iii) not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for a waiver by the other Party. Each Party hereto specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to a waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.
(g)Upon receipt by any member of the respective Groups of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any member of its Group’s current or former Representatives have received any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such other Party no later than five (5) business days following the receipt of such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 6.6 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.
(h)The transfer of all Records and other information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreements of the Company and SpinCo, as set forth in Section 6.2, Section 6.3, Section 6.4, Section 6.5 and this Section 6.6, to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges. The access to information being granted pursuant to Section 6.1, Section 6.2, Section 6.3 and Section 6.4 hereof, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 6.2 and Section 6.4 hereof, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by Section 6.4 hereof, and the transfer of Privileged Information between and among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.
(i)Parent acknowledges that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇ Lord LLP and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Calder (“Prior Company Counsel”) have, on or prior to the Effective Time, represented one or more of the Parties and their Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and their respective officers, employees and directors (each such Person, other than the RemainCo Group, a “Designated Person”) in one or more matters relating to this Agreement (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement) (each, an “Existing Representation”), and that, in the event of any post-Closing matters (x) relating to this Agreement (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement) and (y) in which Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the RemainCo Group), on the one hand, and one or more Designated Persons, on the other hand, are or may be adverse to each other (each, a “Post-Closing Matter”), the Designated Persons reasonably anticipate that Prior Company Counsel will represent them in connection
    -56-





with such matters. Accordingly, each of Parent and the Company hereby (i) waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Effective Time to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation by one or more Prior Company Counsel of one or more Designated Persons in connection with one or more Post-Closing Matters (the “Post-Closing Representation”) and (ii) agrees that, in the event that a Post-Closing Matter arises, Prior Company Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in such Post-Closing Matter even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the RemainCo Group), and even though Prior Company Counsel may (A) have represented the RemainCo Group in a matter substantially related to such dispute or (B) be currently representing the RemainCo Group. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) consents to the disclosure by Prior Company Counsel, in connection with one or more Post-Closing Representations, to the Designated Persons of any information substantially related to such Post-Closing Representations learned by Prior Company Counsel in the course of one or more Existing Representations, whether or not such information is subject to the attorney-client privilege of the RemainCo Group or Prior Company Counsel’s duty of confidentiality as to the RemainCo Group and whether or not such disclosure is made before or after the Effective Time.
Section 6.7Ownership of Information. Any information owned by one Party or any member of its Group that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to ARTICLE V or this ARTICLE VI shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party (or member of its Group). Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights to any Party (or member of its Group) of license or otherwise in any such information, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise.
Section 6.8Cost of Providing Records and Information. A Party requesting Records, information or access to personnel, witnesses or properties, under ARTICLE V or this ARTICLE VI, agrees to reimburse the other Party (or member of such Party’s Group), upon the presentation of invoices therefor, for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees of such Party (or its Group or any of its or their respective then-Affiliates) or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service with respect to the foregoing), if any, incurred in seeking to satisfy the request of the requesting Party (or member of such Party’s Group).
Section 6.9Retention of Records. Except (a) as provided in Section 6.3, (b) when a longer retention period is otherwise required by applicable Law or (c) as agreed to in writing by the Parties, the RemainCo Group and the SpinCo Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain all Records relating to the CGRP Business and the Therapeutics Business, as applicable, in accordance with its respective regular records retention policies and procedures, until the latest of: (i) the maximum amount of time required under each Parties’ respective records retention policies and procedures, (ii) the date on which such Records are no longer required to be retained pursuant to any “litigation hold” issued by the Company or any member of the RemainCo Group prior to the Distribution and communicated to SpinCo in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the Distribution, (iii) the concluding date of any period as
    -57-





may be required by any applicable Law, (iv) with respect to any pending or threatened Proceeding arising after the Distribution Date, to the extent that any member of a Group in possession of such Records has been notified in writing pursuant to a “litigation hold” by any Party of such pending or threatened Proceeding, the concluding date of any such “litigation hold,” and (v) the concluding date of any period during which the destruction of such Records would reasonably be expected to interfere with a pending or threatened investigation by a Governmental Authority which is known to any member of the Group in possession of such Records at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Records would otherwise expire.  Each Party shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group (and any of their respective then-Affiliates) to use commercially reasonable efforts (at the requesting Party’s sole cost and expense) to preserve and not to destroy or dispose of such Records without the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the requesting Party (and, for the avoidance of doubt, commercially reasonable efforts shall include issuing a “litigation hold”).
Section 6.10Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information. The rights and obligations granted under this ARTICLE VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications and additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Confidential Information set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement and in any other agreement to which a member of the RemainCo Group and a member of the SpinCo Group is a party.

Section 6.12Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Nothing in this ARTICLE VI shall be deemed to require any Person to provide any Privileged Information if doing so would, in the opinion of counsel to such Person, be inconsistent with any legal or constitutional obligation applicable to such Person.

Section 8.4Waiver. At any time prior to the Distribution Effective Time, either Party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party or (b) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other Party or any conditions to its own obligations, in each case, only to the extent such obligations, agreements and conditions are intended for its benefit; provided, however, that any such extension or waiver will be binding upon a Party only if such extension or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by such Party.

Section 8.7Parent Guaranty
(a)Parent hereby guarantees unconditionally, for the benefit of SpinCo, the due performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement following the Effective Time (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). If the Company fails to perform any such obligation, Parent, upon written request of SpinCo, shall, or shall cause the Company to, perform such obligations promptly upon receipt of such request. This guaranty shall apply regardless of any amendments, variations, alterations, waivers or extensions to this Agreement, except to the extent any of the foregoing modifies the application thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, this guaranty of this Section 8.7 shall only be effective from and after the Effective Time.
(b)Parent hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by SpinCo upon this Section 8.7 or acceptance of this Section 8.7. The Guaranteed Obligation conclusively shall be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Section 8.7, and all dealings between SpinCo, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, likewise conclusively shall be presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Section 8.7. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Parent, SpinCo shall be under no obligation to pursue such rights and remedies it may have against the Company or any other Person for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by SpinCo to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Company or any such other Person or to realize upon or to exercise any such right of offset shall not relieve Parent of any liability hereunder.
(c)Parent expressly and irrevocably waives any election of remedies by SpinCo, promptness, diligence, acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice of any kind not provided for herein or not required to be provided to the Company under or in connection with this Agreement, other than defenses that are available to the Company hereunder. SpinCo acknowledges and agrees that Parent shall be entitled to all rights, remedies and benefits of the Company hereunder following the Effective Time. Parent acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Section 8.7 are made knowingly in contemplation of such benefits.
(d)Parent represents and warrants that (i) it is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware, (ii) it has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement solely for purposes of this Section 8.7 and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms (except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
    -61-





transfer, moratorium, reorganization, preference or similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law)) and (iii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not contravene any law to which Parent is subject or result in any breach of any Contract to which Parent is a party, other than such contravention or breach that would not be material to Parent or limit its ability to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement solely for purposes of this Section 8.7.
(e)SpinCo agrees that its rights in respect of any claim or liability under this Agreement asserted by it against Parent shall be limited solely to satisfaction out of, and enforcement against, the assets of Parent and the RemainCo Group, and SpinCo covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any of Parent’s former, current or future directors, officers, agents, or stockholders or any former, current or future directors, officers, agents, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers or stockholders of any of the foregoing, as such, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable law.
(f)No amendment, supplement or modification to this Section 8.7 shall be made without the written agreement of Parent.
Section 8.8Termination. This Agreement (including ARTICLE V) may be terminated and the Distribution may be amended, modified or abandoned at any time prior to the Distribution by and in the sole discretion of the Company without the approval of SpinCo. In the event of such termination, no Party shall have any Liability of any kind to any other Party or any other Person. After the Distribution, this Agreement may not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by the Parties; provided, however, that ARTICLE V shall not be terminated or amended after the Distribution in respect of a Third Party beneficiary thereto without the consent of such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, Schedule I shall automatically terminate upon any termination of this Agreement prior to the Distribution.
Section 8.9Subsidiaries. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any entity that is contemplated to be a Subsidiary of such Party after the Distribution Date.
Section 8.10Governing Law. This Agreement and all actions arising under or in connection therewith will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of any other Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law. The selection of the laws of the State of Delaware as the governing law of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is a valid choice of law under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and will be honored by courts in the British Virgin Islands.

Section 8.11Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver. Each of the Company and SpinCo irrevocably agrees that any legal action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by the other Party or its successors or assigns will be brought and determined in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if such court declines jurisdiction, any other state court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the Company and SpinCo hereby irrevocably submits with respect to any action or Proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the Company and SpinCo hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to lawfully serve process, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that (i) the suit, action or Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or Proceeding is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, is not enforceable in or by such courts.
Section 8.12Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND SPINCO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENT OR ACTION RELATED HERETO OR THERETO. Each Party certifies and acknowledges that (a) no Representative of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver in the event of a legal action, (b) such Party has considered the implications of this waiver, (c) such Party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (d) such Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 8.12.
Section 8.13Specific Performance.
(a)The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any breach of this Agreement, irreparable harm would occur that monetary damages could not make whole. It is accordingly agreed that (i) each Party will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at Law or in equity, to compel specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement in any action without the posting of a bond or undertaking and (ii) the Parties will, and hereby do, waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at Law and any other objections to specific performance of this Agreement.
    -63-






(b)Notwithstanding the Parties’ rights to specific performance pursuant to Section 8.13(a), each Party may pursue any other remedy available to it at Law or in equity, including monetary damages.

SCHEDULE I
ROYALTY PAYMENTS
1.U.S. Royalty Payments.
a.Royalty Payment. Subject to the terms of this Schedule I, Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd. (“Payor”) will pay Biohaven Research Ltd. (“SpinCo”) royalties for the Products on a tiered marginal royalty rate basis as set forth in the table below based on aggregate Net Sales in the United States of all Products during each Royalty Year during the applicable Royalty Term of each such Product.

Portion of Net Sales of all Products in the United States in a Royalty YearMarginal Royalty Rate
Up to $5.25 billion0%
[***][***]%
[***][***]%
[***][***]%

b.Caps on Royalty Payments. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement (including in this Schedule I), under no circumstances will the total royalty payments payable under this Schedule I across all Products with respect to Net Sales in a given Royalty Year exceed $400,000,000 (Four Hundred Million U.S. Dollars) (“Annual Cap”). For clarity, once the aggregate royalty payments payable under this Schedule I across all Products with respect to Net Sales in a Royalty Year exceed the Annual Cap, Payor will owe no further royalties under this Schedule I on Net Sales of any Product in such Royalty Year. Further, for clarity, Net Sales of Products in a given Royalty Year that would give rise to royalty payments in excess of the Annual Cap will not carry forward to any subsequent Royalty Year for the purpose of determining royalty payments for such Royalty Year.

2.Manner of Payment. All payments to be made by Payor under this Agreement will be made in United States dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as will be designated by SpinCo. Late payments will bear interest at the rate provided in Section 5 of this Schedule I.

3.Sales Reports and Royalty Payments. Following the later of the Effective Time and the date on which the $5,250,000,000 (Five Billion Two Hundred and Fifty Million U.S. Dollar) aggregate annual Net Sales threshold for the Products in the United States is first met, Payor will furnish to SpinCo a written report, within 45 days after the end of each Royalty Quarter (or portion thereof, if this Agreement terminates during a Royalty Quarter), showing the amount of royalty due for such Royalty Quarter (or portion thereof). Royalty payments for each Royalty Quarter will be due within 60 days after the end of each Royalty Quarter (or portion thereof, if this Agreement terminates during a Royalty Quarter). With each quarterly report, Payor will deliver to SpinCo a full and accurate accounting to include at least the following information:

a.the total gross sales for each Product in the United States by Payor and its applicable Affiliates and Licensees, if any, and the calculation of Net Sales from such gross sales;

b.the calculation of royalties payable in United States dollars which will have accrued hereunder in respect of such Net Sales; and

c.withholding taxes, if any, required by Law to be deducted in respect of such royalties.

4.Sales Record Audit.
    -67-





a.Payor shall keep, and shall ensure that each of its Related Parties, if any, keep, complete, true and accurate books of accounts and records, in accordance with GAAP, with respect to gross sales of Products in the United States and any deductions thereto in accordance with the “Net Sales” definition in connection with the calculation of Net Sales of Products in the United States, sufficient to determine and establish the amounts payable under this Schedule I during the applicable audit timeline set forth in Section 4.b of this Schedule I.

b.Such books of accounting of Payor and its Affiliates shall during all reasonable times for the three calendar years next following the end of the Royalty Year to which each shall pertain, be open for inspection not more than once during any 12-month period at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice by an independent certified public accountant selected by SpinCo and as to which Payor has no reasonable objection, for the purpose of verifying royalty reports and payments for compliance with this Schedule I for any period within the preceding three Royalty Years.

c.The independent, certified public accountant shall disclose to SpinCo only the amounts that the independent auditor believes to be due and payable hereunder to SpinCo and details concerning any discrepancy from the amount paid (including the reasons therefor), and shall disclose no other information revealed in such audit.

d.Such accountant must have agreed in writing with Payor to maintain all information learned in confidence, except as necessary to disclose to SpinCo under Section 4.c of this Schedule I such compliance or noncompliance by Payor and any Related Parties. The results of each inspection, if any, shall be binding on SpinCo and Payor. SpinCo shall pay for such inspections, except that in the event there is any upward adjustment in aggregate royalty payments payable for any Royalty Year shown by such inspection of more than five percent of the amount paid for such Royalty Year, Payor shall pay for such inspection. Any underpayments shall be paid by Payor within 45 days after notification of the results of such inspection. Any overpayments shall be fully creditable against amounts payable in subsequent payment periods, provided that if all Royalty Terms expire or the Agreement is terminated prior to such overpayment being fully credited, SpinCo will pay any remaining overpayment amount to Payor within 45 days following such expiration or termination date.

5.Interest on Late Payments. Any amount required to be paid by Payor under this Schedule I which is not paid on the date due will bear interest compounded daily, to the extent permitted by Law, at the annualized Federal Funds Effective Rate EFFR or any successor to such rate for the date such payment was due, as reported by the Federal Reserve of New York (▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇%▇▇▇▇▇▇▇).

6.Taxes. Payor will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Schedule I any withholding taxes or other amounts required under applicable law to be deducted and withheld. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Schedule I as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. All sums payable under this Agreement are exclusive of any amount in respect of VAT. If any action of one Party (the “Supplier”) under this Agreement constitutes, for VAT purposes, the making of a supply to another Party (the “Recipient”) and VAT is or becomes chargeable on that supply, the Recipient shall pay to the Supplier, in addition to any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement by the Recipient, a sum equal to the amount of the VAT chargeable on that supply against delivery to the Recipient of a valid VAT invoice issued in accordance with the laws and regulations of the
    -68-





applicable jurisdiction or directly pay and account for such VAT towards the relevant taxing authorities.

7.Definitions. When used in this Schedule I, the following terms will have the respective meanings specified therefor below. Any capitalized terms used in this Schedule I and not defined herein will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
