Funds in the Collection Account shall be disbursed to Product Sub or the
USActive 42004257.15 -25-
Investor, as applicable, in accordance with Sections 4.06(b), Section 4.06(c), Section 4.06(d) and Section 4.06(e).

(c) No later than each Payment Date, Product Sub shall provide to Investor the reports relating to Quarterly Sales Amounts and calculation of the Revenue Interest Payments required under Section 8.03(e).

If, at the end of such twenty-day period, Investor and Product Sub have not been able to resolve all such matters, Investor and Product Sub shall submit to an independent accounting firm as shall be agreed upon in writing by Investor and Product Sub (the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution of any and all matters that remain unresolved and as to no other matter. The Accounting Firm shall reach a determination as to the matters submitted to it solely based on written presentations of Investor, on the one hand, and Product Sub, on the other hand, submitted to the Accounting Firm (a copy of which presentation shall be provided to Investor or Product Sub, as applicable) and not by independent review. The Accounting Firm shall reach a final, binding resolution of all matters that remain open, which final resolution shall be binding on Investor and Product Sub (absent manifest error) and their respective successors and assigns. Product Sub and Investor agree to execute, if requested by the Accounting Firm, a reasonable engagement letter in customary form. The fees and expenses of
USActive 42004257.15 -26-
the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Investor, provided that if the Revenue Interest Payment was understated by more than 5%, then Product Sub shall bear the cost of the Accounting Firm. Any underpayments, regardless of amount, shall be paid to Investor within 10 Business Days of the Accounting Firm’s determination with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate, calculated from the applicable Payment Date.
(d) On or prior to each Payment Date, Product Sub shall instruct the Account Bank to disburse from funds held in the Collection Account as of the last day of the prior Calendar Quarter, in the following order of priority, as follows:
(i) First, to the Investor Account, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the funds on deposit in the Collection Account and (B) Revenue Interest Payments for the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter;
(ii) If the amount disbursed to the Investor Account pursuant to Section 4.06(d)(i) above is less than the Revenue Interest Payment Amount to which Investor is entitled for the relevant Calendar Quarter, the Product Sub shall cause the Account Bank to disburse funds held in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.06(d)(i) until the aggregate amount of such disbursements equal the amount of such shortfall;
(iii) If the amount disbursed to the Investor Account pursuant to Section 4.06(d)(i) above is more than the Revenue Interest Payment Amount to which Investor is entitled for the relevant Calendar Quarter (and for any prior quarter for which amounts remain unpaid), Investor shall, within twenty (20) days of such determination, cause such excess amount to be transferred to the Product Sub Account; and
(iv) Thereafter, to the Product Sub Account an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the funds on deposit in the Collection Account as of the end of the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter and (B) an amount equal to the amount deposited in the Collection Account during the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter, minus the amounts disbursed for such Calendar Quarter pursuant to Sections 4.06(d)(i) and (ii) above, minus any amounts disbursed to the Product Sub Account during such Calendar Quarter.
(e) Upon any disbursement of any funds from the Collection Account to the Product Sub Account, any security interest hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents granted in Product Sub’s right, title and interest in, to and under such funds shall be automatically released and terminated, and Product Sub shall be free to use any amounts in the Product Sub Account. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as no Put Option Event has occurred and is continuing, any funds in the Product Sub Account may be transferred to the Company at any time.

(a) with respect to any Put Option Event caused by the breach of any provision of Sections 9.01(b)(i), (ii) and (v) which could reasonably be anticipated to support a contention that the separate legal status of Product Sub and the Company (or their assets) should be disregarded, then the Investor shall be entitled to immediate payment in cash of the Maximum Payment Amount, less the sum of: (i) the aggregate amount of payments previously received by Investor (and any direct or indirect Assignee of the Investor to whom any interest in the Revenue Interest Payment is transferred) contemplated by Section 3.01 hereof, and (ii) the aggregate amount of payments received by Investor (and any direct or indirect Assignee of the Investor to whom any interest in the Revenue Interest Payment is transferred) pursuant to Article XI, other than amounts of the nature specified in clauses, (i) (ii) or (iii) in Section 11.03;

INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITS ON DAMAGES
Section 11.01 Losses.
(a) Product Sub agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Indemnitee from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, in all cases, arising, in whole or in part, out of or relating to any claim, notice, suit or proceeding commenced or threatened in writing (including, without limitation, by electronic means) by any Person (including any Governmental Authority) other than Product Sub, the Company or any of Investor’s Affiliates; provided Product Sub shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or the breach by Investor of its obligations to pay the Investment Amount hereunder. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11.01 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they violate of any
USActive 42004257.15 -60-
law or public policy, Product Sub shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. This Section 11.01 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Party shall assert, and each Party hereby waives, any claim against each other Party and such Party’s Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Investment or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor; provided, that nothing contained in this clause (b) shall limit the Product Sub’s indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
Section 11.02 Assumption of Defense; Settlements. If the Investor is entitled to indemnification under this Article XI with respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party that is also brought against Product Sub, Product Sub shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Investor. Upon assumption by Product Sub of the defense of any such action or proceeding, Investor shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel but Product Sub shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by the Investor in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) Product Sub has otherwise agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) Product Sub shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Investor in a timely manner or (iii) the Investor shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between Product Sub and the Investor, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Investor that are different from or additional to those available to Product Sub; provided, however, that Product Sub shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Investor, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against such action or proceeding. Product Sub shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by Product Sub in accordance with the foregoing without the prior written consent of the Investor unless such compromise or settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of the Investor from all liability arising out of such action and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Investor. Product Sub shall not be required
USActive 42004257.15 -61-
to indemnify the Investor for any amount paid or payable by the Investor in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the written consent of Product Sub, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Section 11.03 Limits on Damages. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, neither Product Sub nor the Company shall have any liability to Investor arising out of, or otherwise relating to this Agreement and any other Transaction Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in excess of an amount equal to: (a) the Maximum Payment Amount, minus (b) the aggregate amount collected or received by the Investor (and any direct or indirect Assignee of the Investor to whom any interest in the Revenue Interest Payments is transferred) in respect of the Revenue Interest Payments, minus (c) the aggregate amount collected or received by the Investor or any Indemnitee (and any direct or indirect Assignee of the Investor to whom any interest in the Revenue Interest Payment is transferred) with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities (without duplication of any amounts received pursuant to the preceding clause (b)); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 11.03 shall not apply (i) to the Product Sub’s indemnification obligations under Section 11.01 with respect to Third Party claims, (ii) to the Product Sub’s indemnification and reimbursement obligations under Section 11.01 with respect to out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid by Investor in connection with the exercise or enforcement of its rights under any Transaction Document or (iii) in the case of fraud.
Section 11.04 No Implied Representations and Warranties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, other than the representations and warranties of Product Sub specifically contained in Sections 7.01, 7.02 and the other Transaction Documents, and of Investor specifically contained in Section 7.03, there are no representations or warranties of Product Sub, Investor or any other Person either expressed or implied with respect to the Product, the Revenue Interests, the Intellectual Property or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and that the parties do not rely on, and shall have no remedies in respect of any representation or warranty not specifically set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 or Section 7.03 hereof or in any other Transaction Document, as applicable.
Section 11.05 Exclusive Remedy. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing Date, Section 11.01 shall provide the Investor’s sole and exclusive remedy vis-à-vis Product Sub or the Company with respect to any Third Party claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and any losses relating thereto.

USActive 42004257.15 -62-
without need for consent, assign any of its obligations or rights under this Agreement to any: (i) Affiliate receiving an assignment of the right to Exploit or Commercialize the Product and receive underlying Net Sales; provided that Product Sub shall continue to be liable for all of its Obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) any other Person with which the Company may merge or consolidate or to which the Company may sell all or substantially all of its assets (including the Capital Stock the Company owns of Product Sub); provided that with respect to clause (i) or (ii), the assignee under any such assignment agrees to be bound by the terms of the Transaction Documents and furnishes a written agreement to such effect to Investor.
