1.5.4. Seller shall have the right to assign its right to receive shares of Common Stock under this Section 1.5 to no more than 35 of its stockholders, officers, directors, or creditors.

In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock required by Sections 1.5.1, 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 would result in the aggregate issuance of more than 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock under this Section 1.5, after giving effect to all such issuances, the number of shares issuable pursuant to Sections 1.5.1, 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 shall be reduced so that the aggregate number of shares issued pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be one share less than 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to all shares of Common Stock issued under Sections 1.5.1, 1.5.2 and 1.5.3.

The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable diligence including, but not limited to, the expenditure of reasonable funds, to pursue the commercialization of drugs (including for treatment of CTCL) using the Purchased Assets.

Without limiting the general nature of the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below), the Buyer shall provide in such Fundamental Transaction that, in lieu of issuing the shares of Common Stock that may become issuable pursuant to this Section 1.5, the Seller’s right to shares of Common Stock be satisfied by any successor to the Buyer or affiliate of such successor in the Fundamental Transaction either (a) as a payment in cash equal to the value of such shares of Common Stock (without interest or earnings), based on the amount payable to the Buyer’s stockholders in connection with the Fundamental Transaction under any agreement pursuant to which the transactions constituting the Fundamental Transaction are effected, and/or (b) in shares of the capital stock of any successor to the Buyer or affiliate of such successor, or other consideration (as applicable, the “Substitute Consideration”), so long as such Substitute Consideration has, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Buyer a value and liquidity equal to or greater than the value of such shares of Common Stock that may otherwise become issuable pursuant to this Section 1.5. As used herein, the term “Fundamental Transaction” means the occurrence of a merger, consolidation, share exchange, tender offer, exchange offer or other form of reorganization or business combination in which the Buyer is not the surviving corporation or in which the shares of Common Stock are deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

If either party shall receive any payment that pursuant to this Agreement is the property of the other party, then the party receiving such payment shall promptly turn such payment over to the other party and until such time shall hold it in trust for the other party. The Buyer shall pay any applicable assignment, recordal fees, or other fees payable for the recordal of the assignment of any Patents or any other Purchased Assets or for the filing of any other reports, returns, applications and other documents requested by Buyer.

1.7. Consent of Third Parties. On the Closing Date, Seller shall assign to Buyer, and Buyer will assume, the Assigned Contracts, in each case, to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the assignment or assumption of all or any portion of any rights or obligations under any Assigned Contract shall require the consent of any other party thereto that has not been obtained prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or otherwise transfer any rights or obligations under such Assigned Contract.

After the Closing, (i) all Confidential Information relating to the Purchased Assets shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of the Buyer for purposes of this Section 8.3 and shall be held in confidence by the Seller and its affiliates after the Closing Date pursuant to the requirements set forth herein; and (ii) all Confidential Information relating to the Purchased Assets that is retained by the Seller after the Closing Date shall be maintained in confidence by the Seller and its affiliates in the same manner as the Seller and its affiliates treat their other confidential information.

8.4. No Public Announcement. Except as provided herein, neither the Seller nor the Buyer shall, without the approval of the other, make any press release or other public announcement regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that any such party is so obligated by applicable law, in which case the other party shall be advised and the parties shall use their best efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude communications or disclosures necessary to (i) implement the provisions of this Agreement; or (ii) comply with accounting obligations or applicable law or judicial process.

8.5. Satisfaction of Excluded Liabilities and Assumed Liabilities. After the Closing, the Seller shall pay, perform and discharge, or otherwise satisfy, when due all of the Excluded Liabilities and the Buyer shall pay, perform and discharge, or otherwise satisfy, when due all of the Assumed Liabilities.

8.6. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (and in any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto or certificate delivered in connection with the Closing) will be true and correct as of the time of Closing, but shall not survive after the Closing, except that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 4.1, and 4.4 shall be true and correct as of the time of Closing and shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period. For clarification, no representation or warranty shall be required to be maintained as true and correct after the Closing.

All claims for actual fraud shall survive the Closing hereunder until barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

8.7. Tax Reporting. The parties intend for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to qualify as to the Seller and its shareholders as a tax free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each party agrees to not take any position inconsistent with this tax treatment in any returns, reports, or other filings it may make with the Internal Revenue Service.

The Seller shall liquidate and dissolve no later than 12 months after the Closing, and pursuant to such liquidation and dissolution, shall distribute, after the payment of any liabilities, to its shareholders all of the Purchase Price and any Excluded Assets (the “Liquidation”). The shareholders of the Seller shall be responsible for the preparation and the timely filing of all Tax Returns of the Seller. The sale and assignment of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement and the Liquidation are intended to constitute integrated steps in a single “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §§ 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3, which plan of reorganization the parties hereby adopt by executing this Agreement.
