The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Transitional Services. Accordingly, as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to transition of each Transitional Service to its own internal organization or to obtain alternate third-party sources to provide the Transitional Services, and Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in connection therewith.

4.10.2 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, following Closing, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the individuals set forth in Section 4.10.2 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules available to provide Transitional Services to the extent requested by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Transitional Services period set forth in Section 4.10.1, the Parties agree that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to (a) hire replacements for employees that resign, retire or are fired “for cause” or hire additional employees or (b) subject to Section 4.7 enter into retention agreements with employees or otherwise provide any incentive beyond payment of regular salary and benefits.

4.10.3 Buyer shall reimburse Seller, on a “cost-pass-through” basis, for the cost of the Transitional Services provided by Seller following Closing as requested by Buyer.

4.10.4 Buyer may terminate any Transitional Service, in whole and not in part, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Seller in writing of any such determination. Upon the termination of any Transitional Services, Seller shall have no further obligation to provide the applicable terminated Transitional Services and Buyer will have no obligation to pay any future compensation relating to such Transitional Services (other than costs required to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.10 in respect of Transitional Services already provided and received by Buyer prior to such termination).

4.10.5 Seller represents, warrants and agrees that the Transitional Services shall be provided in good faith, in accordance with Law and with the same standard of care as historically undertaken by or on behalf of Seller. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to assign sufficient resources and qualified personnel as are reasonably required to perform the Transitional Services in accordance with the standards set forth in the preceding sentence, but subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 4.10.

4.11 Deposit.

4.11.1 Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Deposit to be deposited with the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Escrow Agreement within five Business Days of the date hereof.

4.12 TSX Conditional Approval.

4.12.1 Promptly following the date hereof, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Toronto Stock Exchange conditionally approve, as soon as commercially practicable, the potential issuance of equity of Nuvo as contemplated by the Debt Financing on the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter, subject only to the satisfaction of the customary listing conditions of the Toronto Stock Exchange (which shall not include the requirement to obtain any approval of the shareholders of Nuvo prior to Closing). Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of the occurrence of any event or circumstance that it is aware of that would reasonably be expected to materially impede or delay Nuvo’s ability to obtain such conditional approval, provided that any such notification shall not otherwise relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Section 4.12.

4.13 Ireland Employees.

4.13.1 Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that the transfer of the Purchased Assets and the Product Business does not constitute a relevant transfer for the purposes of  the European Communities (Protection of Employees on Transfer of Undertakings) Regulations 2003  (as amended).

4.13.2 Following the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall offer to employ all of the employees of Aralez Ireland listed on Schedule 4.13 (the “Ireland Employees”) upon such terms and conditions and with such benefits as Buyer may determine. Seller consents to (a) Buyer communicating with and negotiating the terms of an employment contract with one or more of the Ireland Employees, and (b) entering into a contract of employment with one or more of the Ireland Employees before the Closing, provided that any such contract of employment is conditional upon the Closing.

4.13.3 Provided Buyer has complied with its obligations under Section 4.13.2, Seller shall terminate the employment of each of the Ireland Employees as of the Closing. Seller shall be responsible for fulfilling all obligations to the Ireland Employees for the period prior to Closing, including pursuant to any key employee retention plan referred to in Section 4.7.1 or otherwise. Seller shall agree to release all Ireland Employees who accept offers of employment with Buyer from their contracts of employment with Seller with effect from Closing, on condition that a written request for such a release is received from the Ireland Employees’ concerned.

4.14 Ireland Lease

4.14.1 Buyer shall arrange to inspect the Premises within five (5) Business Days of the date of this Agreement (or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable) and Aralez Ireland shall facilitate such inspection and shall provide such information and documentation as is reasonably requested by Buyer to assess the compliance by Aralez Ireland with its obligations pursuant to the Ireland Lease, including the License for Works, including satisfactory evidence of material compliance with the provisions of the License for Works.  To the extent not completed as of the Execution Date, Aralez Ireland shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange to complete the Works required prior to Closing, and shall keep Buyer promptly informed in relation to the progress of and the completion of the required Works, including the

36

provision of the required documentation to the Landlord. On completion of the Works, Buyer shall arrange to inspect the Premises and Aralez Ireland shall facilitate such inspection and shall provide such information and documentation as is reasonably requested by Buyer to assess the compliance by Aralez Ireland with its obligations to complete the Works. Buyer shall arrange to further inspect the Premises not more than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and Aralez Ireland shall facilitate such inspection and shall provide such information and documentation as is reasonably requested by Buyer to determine (i) whether or not the Premises is otherwise in materially the same condition as on the date of the first inspection, and (ii) that the Works have been completed in accordance with the provisions of the License for Works .

4.14.2 Aralez Ireland shall promptly notify Buyer of any material adverse change in the condition of the premises demised by the Ireland Lease, or if Aralez Ireland receives a notice from an Irish Governmental Authority which would result in a material expenditure on the premises demised by the Ireland Lease.

4.14.3 Without limiting Seller’s obligations under Section 5.2.3, within five (5) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, Aralez Ireland shall apply to the Landlord for its consent to a full assignment of the Ireland Lease and shall consult with Buyer in relation to the information to be provided to the Landlord pursuant to Clause 3.16.1(1) of the Ireland Lease.  Buyer shall promptly provide such further information and documentation as required by the Landlord, to include any requirements of the Landlord pursuant to Clause 3.16.1(3) of the Ireland Lease.

4.14.4 Without limiting Section 4.3.2, (x) if Buyer discovers material damage to the Premises during its inspections under 4.14.1, Buyer may provide notice to Seller prior to Closing that it is electing to not acquire the Ireland Lease (and the assets described in Section 2.1.1(g)), or (y) if the Landlord fails to consent to a full assignment of the Ireland Lease prior to the Closing, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), the Ireland Lease shall be deemed to be moved from Section 2.1.1(a) to Section 2.1.2 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules and Sections 2.1.1(g), 2.2.1(b) and 2.3.1(d) shall not apply. If there is no material damage to the Premises prior to Closing and provided that Aralez Ireland has not received a notice from an Irish Governmental Authority which would result in a material expenditure required to the premises demised by the Ireland Lease, and the Landlord consents to a full assignment of the Lease, Buyer must acquire, subject to clause 4.14.5, the Ireland Lease. For greater certainty, Buyer shall be under no obligation to acquire the Ireland Lease if the Closing does not occur.  In the event that the parties cannot agree as to whether material damage has been caused to the Premises, either party may at any time by notice in writing to the other require this question to be determined by an independent surveyor being a member of the Society of Chartered Surveyors in the Republic of Ireland. In default of agreement between the parties on the appointment of the said independent surveyor, the independent surveyor shall be appointed by the President of the Society of Chartered Surveyors in the Republic of Ireland on the written application of either party. The said independent surveyor shall act as an expert.

4.14.5 Without limiting Buyer’s and Seller’s obligations under Section 5.2.1, subject to the Landlord consent to the assignment:

37

(a) on the Closing Date, Aralez Ireland shall (i) hand over the premises demised under the Ireland Lease in substantially the same condition as it was in on the date of the inspection carried out by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.14.1 (save for any remaining Works completed), and (ii) execute a deed of assignment of the Ireland Lease in favor of Buyer (“Deed of Assignment”), the Landlord’s consent to the assignment to Buyer (if delivered by the Landlord), and such other documents (including evidence of a valid Irish tax number, Irish Family Law Declaration, and Notice of Assignment to the rating authority) as may be reasonably required by the Landlord and Buyer with regard to the assignment of the Ireland Lease;

(b) Buyer shall be liable in full for any stamp duty payable on the Deed of Assignment and shall present the Deed of Assignment for stamping with the Revenue Commissioners and shall furnish the counterpart stamp to Aralez Ireland within seven (7) Business Days of the Assignment; and

38

efforts to obtain any required consents or waivers and take such other reasonable action (such as the entry into a joint defense agreement or other arrangement to avoid loss of attorney-client privilege) to permit such access).  The Party requesting cooperation shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Party providing such cooperation and by its Representatives.

5.2 Further Assurances.

5.2.1 Each of Seller and Buyer shall, at any time or from time to time after the Closing, at the request and expense of the other, execute and deliver to the other all such instruments and documents or further assurances as the other may reasonably request, in each case that are consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in order to (a) vest in Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets (including the Purchased Intellectual Property) as contemplated hereby, (b) effectuate Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and (c) grant to each Party all rights contemplated to be granted to such Party under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; provided, however, that after the Closing, apart from such foregoing customary further assurances, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any other obligations except as specifically set forth and described herein, in the Canadian Purchase Agreement, or in the Ancillary Agreements.

5.2.2 If any approval, consent or waiver required for Seller to assign to Buyer, and for Buyer to assume, the Purchased Contracts and other Purchased Assets shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assume and assign the Purchased Contracts and other Purchased Assets to Buyer, including using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate any negotiations with the counterparties to such Purchased Contracts and to obtain an order (which shall be the Approval Order) containing a finding that the proposed assignment to and assumption of the Purchased Contracts by Buyer satisfy all applicable requirements of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. At the Closing (i) Seller shall, pursuant to the Approval Order, assign to Buyer each of the Purchased Contracts that is capable of being assigned and (ii) Buyer shall pay all Cure Costs (if any) set forth in the certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.3.2 and Seller shall pay any other Cure Costs, in each case in connection with such assignment and assume and discharge when due the Assumed Liabilities (if any) under the Purchased Contracts. Except as to Purchased Contracts assigned pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or the Approval Order, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Purchased Asset or any right thereunder if an attempted assignment, without the consent of a Third Party, would constitute a breach or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer or Seller thereunder, and Seller, at Buyer’s expense, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible.  If such consent is not obtained or such assignment is not attainable pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or the Approval Order, or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, then Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, shall act after the Closing, at Buyer’s request, as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer.

39

Seller may not agree to pay any amount to obtain any consent of a third party without Buyer’s prior approval.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 5.2.2 to the contrary, Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any rights it may have in the event of a breach of Seller of Section 3.1.3 unless and until Buyer either provides written notice thereof or elects to proceed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing.  All obligations of Seller under this Section 5.2.2 shall expire on the date that is three months after the Closing Date.

5.2.3 Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, prior to Closing, any approval, consent or waiver required for Seller to assign to Buyer, and for Buyer to assume, the Purchased Contracts and other Purchased Assets required as a result of the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or necessary to vest in Buyer all of Sellers rights, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, except to the extent such consents are not necessary as a result of the entry of the Approval Order. Despite the previous sentence, Seller is not under any obligation to pay any money to a Third Party (unless Buyer agrees in writing to reimburse Seller for such payment), incur any material obligations, commence any Litigation or offer or grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party in order to obtain such approval, consent or waiver or take any action whatsoever that is not permitted by the Chapter 11 Cases. Buyer will co-operate in obtaining such consents, approvals and waivers, including by providing information of Buyer as is reasonably requested by a Third Party.

5.3 Publicity.  No press release, public statement or announcement or other public disclosure (a “Public Statement”) with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement may be made except (a) with the prior written consent and joint approval of Buyer and Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, or (b) if required by applicable Law, the Chapter 11 Cases, a Governmental Authority, or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel).  Where the Public Statement is required by applicable Law, the Chapter 11 Cases, a Governmental Authority, or stock exchange requirement, the Party required to make the Public Statement will use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party, and consider in good faith any revisions proposed by the other Party, prior to making such disclosure, and shall limit such disclosure to only that information that is legally required to be disclosed.

5.4 Product Liability Claims.  As soon as it becomes aware, each Party shall give the other Party prompt written notice of any defect or alleged defect in a Product, any injury alleged to have occurred as a result of the use or application of a Product, and any circumstances that may give rise to Litigation or Liability relating to a Product, recall or market withdrawal of a Product or regulatory action that reasonably would be expected to adversely affect the Exploitation or Manufacture of a Product or result in any Liability for either Party, specifying, to the extent the Party has such information, the time, place and circumstances thereof and the names and addresses of the Persons involved.  Each Party also shall furnish promptly to the other Party copies of all documents received in respect of any Litigation arising out of such alleged defect, injury or regulatory action; provided, that neither Party shall be required to furnish such documents if such disclosure could, in such Party’s reasonable discretion, (a) violate applicable Law or any binding agreement entered into prior to the Closing Date (including any confidentiality agreement to which such Party is a party), provided, that such Party uses

40

commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers thereof; (b) jeopardize any attorney/client privilege or other established legal privilege; or (c) disclose any trade secrets.

5.5 Certain Tax Matters.

5.5.1 Withholding Taxes.

(a) The amounts payable by one Party (the “Payer”) to another Party (the “Payee”) pursuant to this Agreement (“Payments”) shall not be reduced on account of any Taxes unless required by applicable Law.  The Payee alone shall be responsible for paying any and all Taxes (other than withholding Taxes required to be paid by the Payer) levied on account of, or measured in whole or in part by reference to, any Payments it receives.  The Payer shall deduct or withhold from the Payments any Taxes that it is required by applicable Law to deduct or withhold, and all such amounts deducted and withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Payee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Payee is entitled under any applicable Tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, or recovery of, applicable withholding Tax, it shall timely deliver to the Payer or the appropriate Governmental Authority (with the assistance of the Payer to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve the Payer of its obligation to withhold Tax, and the Payer shall apply the reduced rate of withholding, or dispense with the withholding, as the case may be, to the extent it complies with the applicable Tax treaty.  If, in accordance with the foregoing, the Payer withholds any amount, it shall make timely payment to the proper Taxing Authority of the withheld amount, and send to the Payee proof of such payment as soon as reasonably practicable.

(b) Seller shall deliver to Buyer a non-foreign affidavit dated as of the Closing Date, sworn under penalty of perjury and in form and substance required under Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to section 1445 of the Code stating that Seller is not a “foreign person” as defined in section 1445 of the Code

5.5.2 Transfer Taxes and Apportioned Obligations.

(a) All amounts payable hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement are exclusive of all recordation, transfer, documentary, stamp, conveyance or other similar Taxes (excluding any Indirect Taxes) imposed or levied by reason of, in connection with or attributable to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”).  Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of all Transfer Taxes, and shall pay all amounts due and owing in respect of any Transfer Taxes, these amounts in addition to the sums otherwise payable, at the rate in force at the due time for payment or such other time as is stipulated under applicable Law.

(b) All personal property and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (collectively, the “Apportioned Obligations”) shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer based on the number of days of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date (such portion of such taxable period, the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and the number of days of such taxable period beginning on the day after the Closing Date (such portion of such taxable

41

period, the “Post-Closing Tax Period”).  Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Apportioned Obligations that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Apportioned Obligations that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period.

(c) Apportioned Obligations and Transfer Taxes shall be timely paid, and all applicable filings, reports and returns shall be filed, as provided by applicable Law.  The paying Party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non-paying Party in accordance with Section 5.5.2(a) or Section 5.5.2(b), as the case may be.  Upon payment of any such Apportioned Obligation or Transfer Tax, the paying Party shall present a statement to the non-paying Party setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the paying Party is entitled under Section 5.5.2(a) or Section 5.5.2(b), as the case may be, together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount to be reimbursed.  The non-paying Party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than 10 days after the presentation of such statement.

5.5.3 Indirect Taxes.  The Parties intend and shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure the transfer of the Purchased Assets shall occur without any obligation of Seller to account for Transfer Taxes or Indirect Taxes.  However, if notwithstanding that intention, it is determined that the transfer of the Purchased Assets does give rise to an obligation on Seller to account for Transfer Taxes or Indirect Taxes, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the following provision shall apply.  All Payments are stated exclusive of Indirect Taxes.  If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any Payments, for which Seller is accountable, Buyer shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of any such Payments following the receipt, where applicable, of an Indirect Taxes invoice issued in the appropriate form by Seller in respect of those Payments, such Indirect Taxes to be payable no later than five Business Days prior to the date on which Indirect Taxes are required to be accounted for by Seller.  The Parties shall issue invoices for all goods and services supplied under this Agreement consistent with Indirect Tax requirements, and to the extent any invoice is not initially issued in an appropriate form, Buyer shall promptly inform Seller and shall cooperate with Seller to provide such information or assistance as may be necessary to enable the issuance of such invoice consistent with Indirect Tax requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, all Indirect Taxes shall be borne by Buyer.

5.5.4 Cooperation and Exchange of Information.  Each of Seller and Buyer shall (a) provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other (subject to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses) in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Liability for Taxes in connection with the Product Business or the Purchased Assets, (b) retain and provide the other with any records or other information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination and (c) inform the other of any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of the other for any period.

9.9.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is explicitly agreed that Seller’s right to enforce Buyer’s compliance with its obligations under the Commitment Letter, or to otherwise take any action to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall only be available if (a) all conditions in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied or waived by Buyer as of the Closing Date (other than those conditions that, by their nature, can only be satisfied as of the Closing Date, but which would be satisfied as of the Closing Date) and Buyer fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date; and (b) Seller has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Buyer in writing that (A) if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing is funded, it is ready, willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (B) all conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3 have been and continue to be satisfied (other than those conditions that, by their nature, can only be satisfied as of the Closing Date, but which would be satisfied as of the Closing Date) or that it is willing to irrevocably waive any unsatisfied conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3. In no event will Seller be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if the Debt Financing has not been funded (or will not be funded at the Closing).

9.9.3 Each Party hereby agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of equitable remedies to the extent provided for herein, and the Parties further agree that nothing set forth in this Section 9.9 shall require any Party hereto to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 9.9 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under this Agreement, nor shall the commencement of any legal action or legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.9 or anything set forth in this Section 9.9 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.
