(x) copies of all material customer and supplier lists, account lists, call data, sales history, call notes, marketing studies, consultant reports, physician databases, and correspondence (excluding invoices) with respect to the Product or the Product Line Operations to the extent maintained by Reliant, and all complaint files and adverse event files with respect to the Product (excluding, in each case, any Intellectual Property Controlled by Reliant contained therein that is not used exclusively in connection with the Product, which Intellectual Property shall continue to be owned by Reliant and licensed to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6, and may be otherwise used and exploited by Reliant in compliance with this Agreement); and

(xi) to the extent permitted by Law, all books and records relating primarily or exclusively to the Product; provided, however, that (A) Reliant may retain: (x) a copy of any such books and records to the extent necessary for Tax, accounting, litigation or other valid business purposes, and (y) all books, documents, records and files (i) prepared in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, bids received from other parties and strategic, financial or Tax analyses relating to the divestiture of the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Product, or (ii) maintained by Reliant and/or its representatives, agents or licensees in connection with their respective tax, legal, regulatory or reporting requirements and (B) any attorney work product, attorney-client communications and other items protected by privilege shall be excluded.

(b) Prosecution of Milestone Patent Application Prior to Issuance of Milestone Patent. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, until such time as Reliant has received the Milestone Payment as provided in Section 3.2, Reliant shall have the full and exclusive right to direct and control, at Reliant’s sole cost and expense, the prosecution of the Milestone Patent Application, provided that Reliant shall not amend the claims of the Milestone Patent Application in any manner that would cause them not to be Substantially Equivalent Claims without Purchaser’s prior written consent and Reliant shall provide Purchaser with copies of all material correspondence received from the PTO and all proposed submissions with respect to the Milestone Patent Application, and shall in good faith consider any comments provided by Purchaser with respect thereto. In the event that Reliant elects not to continue the prosecution of the Milestone Patent Application prior to its receipt of the Milestone Payment, Reliant shall notify Purchaser of such election and grant to Purchaser the right to prosecute the Milestone Patent Application (as well as any reasonable cooperation requested by Purchaser in connection therewith) sufficiently in advance to enable Purchaser to take over such prosecution without any loss of rights, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith any appropriate modifications to this Agreement (including provisions related to the payment of the Milestone Payment) in connection therewith; provided that the Purchaser shall not be required to pay the Milestone Payment or any portion thereof unless and until the Milestone Patent issues with Substantially Equivalent Claims. After such time as Reliant receives the Milestone Payment as required under Section 3.2, Reliant shall have no further obligation or right with respect to the

14 prosecution or maintenance of the Milestone Patent. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party agrees to execute and deliver any authorizations, powers of attorney, declarations of agency or other documentation necessary or desirable to enable the other Party to prosecute the Milestone Patent Application as contemplated hereby. With respect to the Milestone Patent-Related Applications, the Purchaser agrees that, prior to the issuance of the Milestone Patent, it will consult with Reliant on all matters related the Milestone Patent-Related Applications and the prosecution thereof, and will provide Reliant with copies of all material correspondence and documentation related thereto (subject, as applicable, to appropriate confidentiality undertakings from Reliant). Prior to the issuance of the Milestone Patent, the Purchaser shall not take or omit to take any actions in respect the Milestone Patent-Related Applications that adversely affect, or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, the Milestone Patent Application and/or the issuance of the Milestone Patent (including, without limitation, any actions or omissions that prevent or delay such issuance, or adversely affect the claims contained in Milestone Patent Application).

2.2 Excluded Assets. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Acquired Assets shall not include any assets, properties, rights or interests whether or not relating to the Product, other than those specifically listed or described in Sections 2.1 and 2.6 and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall expressly exclude the following assets of Reliant (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”):

(a) all rights of Reliant arising under this Agreement, the Other Agreements or from the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby or thereby;

(b) all rights of enforcement, indemnification and similar matters under the Assigned Contracts and Orders related to any periods prior to Closing; provided, however, that Reliant shall (i) consult with the Purchaser prior to exercising any such rights and (ii) exercise such rights in a manner intended to minimize any adverse impact to the Purchaser’s relationship with any customers and suppliers party to the Assigned Contracts and Orders post-closing;

(c) all rights, title and interest of Reliant in and to any Intellectual Property, whether now existing or hereafter developed or acquired (including the Reliant Brands) other than the Product Intellectual Property;

(d) all rights, title and interest of Reliant in and to the Nizatidine Supply Agreement except as otherwise assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the Nizatidine Supply Agreement Assignment;

(e) all rights, title and interest in and to the Product outside of the Territory, other than the license rights granted to Purchaser in Section 2.6(a)(ii);

(f) all rights, title and interest of Reliant in and to Axid IR NDA and the IND (subject to the Purchaser’s right of reference under Section 2.6(g)); and

15 that are accrued but unpaid on or prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Accounts Receivable”).

2.3 Assumed Liabilities. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume and become liable for, and shall pay, perform and discharge (or cause to be paid, performed and discharged) when due, the following liabilities and obligations relating to the Product and the Product Line Operations (whether known or unknown, whether absolute or contingent, whether liquidated or unliquidated and whether due or to become due) (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(a) all liabilities required to be paid, performed or discharged under the Assigned Contracts and Orders from and after the Closing Date (other than such liabilities that were otherwise required to have been paid, performed or discharged prior to the Closing Date and relate to goods or services received or sold prior to the Closing Date);

(b) all liabilities and obligations required to be performed or discharged under the Assigned Contracts and Orders from and after the Closing Date;

(c) all liabilities and obligations of Reliant under the Nizatidine Supply Agreement assumed by Purchaser pursuant to the Nizatidine Supply Agreement Assignment;

(e) subject to Section 7.5, all obligations for replacements of, or refunds for Product, whether or not bearing Reliant’s name or any Reliant Brand, sold by Purchaser after the Closing Date.

2.4 Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not, at the Closing or at any time thereafter, assume or agree to pay, perform or discharge, and Reliant shall remain liable for and shall pay, perform and discharge (or cause to be paid, performed and discharged) when due, all liabilities and obligations of Reliant relating to the Product and the Product Line Operations (whether known or unknown, whether absolute or contingent, whether liquidated or unliquidated and whether due or to become due) other than the Assumed Liabilities (the “Excluded Liabilities”), including, without limitation, the following liabilities and obligations of Reliant:

(f) any obligations of Reliant arising under this Agreement, including pursuant to any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, or from the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

2.5 Consent of Third Parties.

(a) On the Closing Date, Reliant shall assign to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will assume, the Assigned Contracts and Orders to the extent provided in this Agreement. To the extent that the assignment of all or any portion of any Assigned Contract or Order shall require the consent of the other party thereto or any other third party that has not been obtained prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any such Assigned Contract or Order if an attempted assignment without any such consent would constitute a breach or violation thereof. In order, however, to seek to provide the Purchaser the full realization and value of every Assigned Contract and Order of the character described in the immediately preceding sentence (i) at the Closing, the Purchaser and Reliant shall agree on a list of those Assigned Contracts and Orders, if any, that still require consent; (ii) as soon as practicable after the Closing, Reliant and the Purchaser shall cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to obtain any necessary consents to the assignment of the Assigned Contracts and Orders, provided that neither Party shall be required to make any payments or agree to any material undertakings in connection therewith, and (iii) until all such consents are obtained or all such Assigned Contracts and Orders expire or are terminated, Reliant and the Purchaser shall cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to provide to the Purchaser the benefits under the Assigned Contracts and Orders (with the Purchaser entitled to all the gains and responsible for all the losses, Taxes, liabilities and/or obligations thereunder), subject to all burdens and liabilities thereunder. In connection with clause (iii) of this Section 2.5(a), if reasonably requested by the Purchaser, Reliant shall seek to enforce for the benefit of the Purchaser all claims or rights of Reliant arising under the applicable Assigned Contracts and Orders. The Purchaser shall perform and comply with, at the Purchaser’s cost, all of Reliant’s obligations under the Assigned Contracts and Orders as if the Purchaser was Reliant thereunder.

(b) Bundled Contracts. The Parties recognize and agree that the Bundled Contracts cover both the Product and other products of Reliant and that the Bundled Contracts are not being assigned to the Purchaser under this Agreement. Reliant shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at its sole expense and as promptly as reasonably possible, to terminate the Bundled Contracts solely as such contracts relate to the Product.

2.6 Licenses and Related Matters.

(a) Grant of Licenses. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including the payment when due of any payments payable by Purchaser to Reliant under Sections 3.2 and 3.3, Reliant hereby grants to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby accepts, from and after the Closing Date:

(i) a non-exclusive right and license, under all Intellectual Property Controlled by Reliant on the Closing Date (other than the Axid Xxxx and the Reliant Brands) and all Necessary Supplemental Reliant Intellectual Property to research, develop, make, have made, use, have used, offer for sale, sell, have sold, import and have imported the Product and/or any Additional Products in the Territory;

(ii) a non-exclusive right and license, under all Intellectual Property Controlled by Reliant on the Closing Date (other than the Axid Xxxx and the Reliant Brands) and all Necessary Supplemental Reliant Intellectual Property to manufacture and have manufactured the Product and/or any Additional Products outside the Territory solely for importation and sale by Purchaser, its Affiliates (and their licensees and sublicensees) in the Territory; and

(iii) the exclusive right and license to use the (A) Oral Solution Xxxx and (B) the Product Trade Dress, in each case solely to identify the Product or an Additional Product that is not a Combination Product (each, an “Authorized Product”) in connection with the manufacture, use, sale and importation of the Authorized Product within the Territory (and the manufacture of the Authorized Product outside the Territory solely for use, sale and importation within the Territory), during the term of this Agreement and in accordance with the terms hereof. Purchaser shall not at any time use the Axid Xxxx, Oral Solution Xxxx or Product Trade Dress or any variations or confusingly similar marks thereto, outside the Territory or in connection with goods other than Authorized Products without Reliant’s prior written approval (which approval Reliant may grant or withhold in Reliant’s sole and absolute discretion).

In consideration of the foregoing license grants, the Purchaser shall pay when due the Milestone Payment and the Sales-Based Contingent Purchase Price Payments set forth in Section 3.2 and Section 3.3, respectively. Reliant shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately terminate any or all of the licenses granted under this Section 2.6(a) in the event that (x) Purchaser shall not have paid the Milestone Payment in full when due (provided that Purchaser shall have a five (5) Business Day cure period after written notice thereof by Reliant and after resolution of any bona fide dispute relating thereto, during which to cure any failure by Purchaser to make such payment when due), or (y) there shall have occurred three (3) Uncured Material Payment Defaults. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Uncured Material Payment Default” shall mean that the Purchaser shall not have paid any Sales-Based Contingent Purchase Price Payment amounts exceeding $[***] in the aggregate (inclusive of any interest due thereon) in full when due for thirty (30) consecutive days commencing on the date Reliant notifies Purchaser of such delinquency; provided, however, that if Purchaser notifies Reliant that Purchaser disputes any such amount that Reliant has notified Purchaser is delinquent within five

[***]: Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

(5) Business Days after receiving Reliant’s notice of delinquency, and Purchaser’s basis for such dispute is a good faith basis, then for purposes of determining whether an Uncured Material Payment Default has occurred, any time that elapses prior to the resolution of such bona fide dispute shall not count in such determination. In the event Purchaser shall commit an Uncured Material Payment Default but thereafter Purchaser makes all Sales-Based Contingent Purchase Price Payments in full when due for any four (4) consecutive Sales-Based Payment Periods (provided, however, that if Purchaser notifies Reliant that Purchaser disputes any amount that Reliant has notified Purchaser is delinquent within five (5) Business Days after receiving Reliant’s notice of delinquency, and Purchaser’s basis for such dispute is a good faith basis, then for purposes of determining whether Purchaser has made such payment when due, any time that elapses prior to the resolution of such bona fide disputes shall not count in such determination), then one such Uncured Material Payment Default shall cease to be counted for purposes of determining whether the Purchaser has committed three (3) Material Payment Defaults. Reliant shall provide Purchaser with written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to exercising its termination right under the foregoing clause (y), during which period Purchaser may cure such default by paying all amounts due (including any accrued interest) in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit, restrict or otherwise prevent Reliant from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Reliant with respect to any such payment default, whether at law or in equity. The licenses granted under this Section 2.6(a) shall be treated as licenses of rights to “intellectual property” (as defined in Section 101(56) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”)) for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that Purchaser may elect to retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.

Purchaser agrees that neither Reliant nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to disclose, provide information regarding or otherwise describe to Purchaser or any other party any of the Intellectual Property licensed to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(i) and (ii).

(b) Standards of Use.

(i) All uses by Purchaser of the Oral Solution Xxxx and Product Trade Dress will be in an appropriate manner, without jeopardizing the significance and distinctiveness or validity of the Oral Solution Xxxx and Product Trade Dress. Purchaser will use the designation “®” in connection with the Oral Solution Xxxx as used in the Oral Solution Xxxx and Product Trade Dress and will comply with all reasonable style and usage standards that Reliant communicates to Purchaser from time to time (“Usage Standards”) as soon as reasonably practicable (i.e., without Purchaser having to incur costs of any significance) following such notice and, in all cases, within six (6) months thereafter. Purchaser shall at its own expense, at the reasonable request of Reliant from time to time, submit to Reliant for approval a reasonable number of production samples of items bearing the Oral Solution Xxxx or any element of the Product Trade Dress for review. In the event that Reliant reasonably objects to the usage of the Oral Solution Xxxx or Product Trade Dress in connection with any sample, it shall give written notice of such objection to Purchaser within sixty (60) days of receipt by Reliant of the sample, specifying the way in which such usage of the Oral Solution Xxxx or Product Trade Dress fails to meet the applicable Usage Standards. Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of

19 such a notice Purchaser shall cease such use of the Oral Solution Xxxx or Product Trade Dress until such time as Purchaser has corrected such failure in all material respects; provided, however, if Purchaser disputes the results of such inspection such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.9 of this Agreement on an expedited basis and the Purchaser shall not be required to cease applying the Oral Solution Xxxx and Product Trade Dress to the applicable item until such time, if any, as such dispute is resolved in favor of Reliant. Purchaser shall not use marks confusingly similar to the Reliant Brands, Oral Solution Xxxx or any element of the Product Trade Dress and shall notify Reliant of any uses of marks confusingly similar thereto of which it becomes aware and shall take no action of any kind with respect thereto except by the express written authorization of Reliant. Purchaser’s use of the Oral Solution Xxxx and Product Trade Dress shall inure to the benefit of the trademark owners and Purchaser shall not acquire any ownership rights in or to the Oral Solution Xxxx or Product Trade Dress or any similar marks as a result of this license.

(ii) Purchaser shall ensure that all Product with respect to which Purchaser utilizes the Oral Solution Xxxx or Product Trade Dress (and any Additional Product with respect to which Reliant has provided written consent to Purchaser for use of the Oral Solution Xxxx or Product Trade Dress hereunder) shall be of a quality that meets or exceeds the quality standards of the Product bearing the Oral Solution Xxxx and Product Trade Dress manufactured, Distributed or sold by or on behalf of Reliant immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. Purchaser shall at its own expense, at the reasonable request of Reliant from time to time, submit to Reliant for inspection samples of the Product (and, as applicable, any Additional Product) in quantities reasonably sufficient for Reliant to verify, using any method or manner of testing and assessment of Reliant’s choosing, that the quality of the Product (and, as applicable, any Additional Product) bearing the Oral Solution Xxxx and Product Trade Dress manufactured by or for Purchaser meets or exceeds the quality standards of the Product bearing the Oral Solution Xxxx and Product Trade Dress manufactured, Distributed or sold prior to the date of this Agreement. In the event that Reliant reasonably objects to the usage of the Oral Solution Xxxx or Product Trade Dress in connection with any such sample, it shall give written notice of such objection to Purchaser within sixty (60) days of receipt by Reliant of the sample, specifying the way in which such usage of the Oral Solution Xxxx or Product Trade Dress fails to meet the quality standards referred to in this Section 2.6(b)(ii). Within seven (7) days of receipt of such a notice Purchaser shall cease applying the Oral Solution Xxxx and Product Trade Dress to Product (and/or, as applicable, any Additional Product) until such time as Purchaser has corrected such failure. Purchaser shall not, directly or indirectly, register or seek to register any Trademark or trade dress in any jurisdiction that incorporates or includes the Axid Xxxx, any of the Reliant Brands or any marks confusingly similar thereto.

(iii) In the event that Purchaser seeks to manufacture and package or have manufactured or packaged, and Distribute the Product (or any Additional Product) under any xxxx or trade dress other than the Oral Solution Xxxx and Product Trade Dress, Purchaser shall give Reliant at least sixty (60) days prior notice of such alternative xxxx/trade dress and shall consider in good faith any comments made by

20 Reliant in respect thereof. In the event that Purchaser ceases use of the Oral Solution Xxxx and/or Product Trade Dress, the parties agree to consider in good faith any appropriate changes to the license granted under Section 2.6(a)(iii), including, as applicable, a temporary or permanent termination thereof.

(iv) Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that it has no rights to any other marks incorporating or otherwise making use of the Axid Xxxx, other than as specifically licensed to Purchaser under Section 2.6(a)(iii) for use in connection with the identification of Authorized Products. The Oral Solution Xxxx xxx not be used in combination with any other Trademark except that Purchaser may affix its own company name and related Trademark as identification of the distributor of the Product in the Product Trade Dress.

(c) Maintenance of Trademarks. Reliant has established, and shall maintain and enforce the Axid Xxxx during the term of this Agreement at its sole cost and expense; provided, however, that nothing herein shall obligate Reliant to register any other Trademarks in any jurisdiction. Purchaser shall maintain and enforce all other Trademarks during the term of this Agreement at its sole cost and expense; provided, however, that nothing herein shall obligate Purchaser to register any other Trademarks in any jurisdiction.

(d) Infringement. In the event either Party becomes aware of any actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of the Oral Solution Xxxx or Product Trade Dress by a third party in the Territory, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party and the Parties shall consult with each other in good faith to determine jointly the best way to prevent such infringement, including, without limitation, by the institution of legal proceedings against such third party. Reliant shall have the first right, but no obligation, at its own expense, to enforce rights in the Oral Solution Xxxx and the Product Trade Dress against any third party infringer or alleged infringer. In the event that Reliant does not elect to undertake such enforcement within thirty (30) days following Reliant’s receipt of a request from Purchaser to notify Purchaser of Reliant’s decision, then Purchaser shall have the right to undertake such enforcement, at Purchaser’s own expense. If either Party so desires, it may, at its own expense, join an action instituted by the other Party, and the other Party shall not oppose any such attempt. Any and all amounts recovered with respect to such an action shall be applied first to reimburse the Parties for their out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) in prosecuting such infringement or misappropriation. The remainder shall be divided between the Parties in proportion to their relative economic harm resulting from such infringement.

(e) Sublicensing. Prior to the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Initial Sale Date, Purchaser shall not sublicense or (except as permitted by Section 10.1 with respect to the sale of substantially all of the stock or assets of the Purchaser or any merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving Purchaser) assign any of the licenses granted to Purchaser under this Agreement, without Reliant’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Reliant’s sole discretion. From and after the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Initial Sale Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser may sublicense or assign any of the licenses granted to Purchaser under this Agreement to one or more third parties; provided, however, that Reliant’s prior written consent shall be required for any sublicense or (unless

21 otherwise permitted by Section 10.1 with respect to the sale of substantially all of the stock or assets of the Purchaser or any merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving Purchaser) assignment of the license granted under Section 2.6(a)(iii), which consent Reliant may withhold only in the event and for so long as Reliant is unable to obtain any consent of Lilly required under the Lilly Agreement (which Reliant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain) to permit such sublicense or assignment. Any such permitted sublicense or assignment granted by Purchaser shall be subject in all respects to the same terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, and Purchaser shall remain primarily liable and shall be responsible for ensuring that any permitted sublicensees and/or assignees comply with all such terms and conditions. Any such sublicense shall immediately terminate in the event the license grant under which such sublicense is granted or is otherwise derived terminates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any such assigned license shall terminate in the event such license grant terminates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall at all times have the right to grant sublicenses in connection with contract manufacturing, contract research and development, and similar arrangements under which Purchaser engages third parties to perform services for Purchaser in furtherance of Purchaser’s exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations hereunder (it being agreed that, during such time as Purchaser is subject to the Detailing requirements under Section 7.9(b), Purchaser shall not have the right to engage any contract sales organization or other third party to perform any such Detailing requirements in lieu of the Purchaser (including, without limitation, pursuant to a co-promotion or similar arrangement).

(f) Retained Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.14, nothing in this Agreement or any Other Agreement shall be interpreted, construed or otherwise deemed to prohibit, restrict or otherwise limit Reliant or any of Reliant’s Affiliates or licensees from developing, manufacturing, marketing or selling anywhere in the world, both within or outside the Territory, any pharmaceutical product (whether branded or generic) containing nizatidine other than the Product in the Territory, including, without limitation, developing and manufacturing within the Territory such pharmaceutical products for sale within or outside the Territory or for internal sales or transfers among Reliant and/or Reliant’s Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that Reliant retains all rights in the Axid Xxxx other than those rights in the Oral Solution Xxxx exclusively licensed to Purchaser hereunder and agrees that Reliant shall have the right to manufacture, have manufactured, use and Distribute pharmaceutical products under the Axid Xxxx, within or outside of the Territory, other than the Product in the Territory.

(g) Purchaser Right of Reference. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Reliant hereby grants Purchaser a right of reference to all data and information contained or referenced in the IND and the Axid IR NDA, as the same exist as of the date hereof, for use in connection with the commercialization of the Product or any Additional Product in the Territory. Reliant agrees to use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts, at Purchaser’s expense, to cooperate with Purchaser in providing access to such data and information to such third parties as may be necessary or desirable in connection with such commercialization by Purchaser hereunder. In addition, if Purchaser requests that Reliant extend this right of reference to a third party designee, such extension shall be subject to Reliant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that, if Purchaser so requests, Reliant

22 shall extend this right of reference to Purchaser’s sublicensees permitted under Section 2.6(e) and Purchaser’s assignees permitted under Section 10.1. Reliant will provide FDA a letter confirming this right of reference at any time within fifteen (15) days of Purchaser’s request and shall take such other actions and execute such other documents as Purchaser may reasonably request to further confirm and give effect to this right of reference.

(h) Reliant Right of Reference. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Purchaser hereby grants Reliant a right of reference to all data and information contained or referenced in the NDA, as the same exists as of the date hereof, and the Pediatric Clinical Trial, in each case for use in connection with the commercialization of Reliant’s nizatidine products. Purchaser agrees to use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts, at Reliant’s expense, to cooperate with Reliant in providing access to such data and information to such third parties as may be necessary or desirable in connection with such commercialization by Reliant hereunder. Purchaser will provide FDA a letter confirming this right of reference at any time within fifteen (15) days of Reliant’s request and shall take such other actions and execute such other documents as Reliant may reasonably request to further confirm and give effect to this right of reference. The Parties agree that they shall enter into customary agreements and procedures relating to the provision and use of such data and information so as to preserve and protect Purchaser’s rights therein.

2.7 Reversion of Milestone Patent Following Payment Default. In the event that Reliant shall not have received the Milestone Payment in full in the time periods provided herein (including, as applicable, any notice and cure period), then Purchaser shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, each of the Milestone Patent Rights back to Reliant.

2.8 Modification of Milestone Payment Following Certain Patent Issuances. In the event that the Milestone Patent issues without Substantially Equivalent Claims and/or any of the Milestone Patent-Related Applications or other Product Patent Rights being transferred to the Purchaser hereunder results in the issuance of a Patent prior to the issuance of the Milestone Patent, the Parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith an appropriate modification of the amount, conditions and timing of the Milestone Payment (which in no event shall exceed $6,000,000). In the event that the Parties are not able to reach an agreement regarding such modification within thirty (30) days of the issuance of such Patent, they shall resolve the matter in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.9. on the basis of the relative degree to which such issued Milestone Patent (with claims other than Substantially Equivalent Claims) and/or such issued Patent resulting from the Milestone Patent-Related Applications or the other Product Patent Rights provides the Product or Additional Product with market exclusivity as compared to the degree of exclusivity that would have been provided by the Milestone Patent if it had issued with Substantially Equivalent Claims. As used in this Agreement, “Milestone Payment” shall be deemed to include any Milestone Payment as modified pursuant to this Section 2.8.

The escrow agreement shall provide that, within five (5) Business Days following delivery by Reliant to Purchaser and the escrow agent of a notice of issuance from the PTO evidencing the issuance of the Milestone Patent with Substantially Equivalent Claims (the “Milestone Payment Date”), subject to the provisions thereof for resolving any dispute with respect to whether such condition has been satisfied, the escrow agent shall release to Reliant the Milestone Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds directly to an account designated by Reliant. If the Milestone Payment Date has not occurred prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the escrow shall be terminated and the escrowed funds shall be returned to Purchaser (provided, however, that Purchaser shall remain liable to make the Milestone Payment if and when the Milestone Payment Date occurs).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the making, having made, using, offering for sale, selling or importing of Products or Additional Products in the Territory (or making or having made Products or Additional Products outside the Territory for subsequent importation and sale in the Territory) by Purchaser or its Affiliates (or their licensees or sublicensees) infringes any Patent(s) controlled by a third party that also was or would also have been infringed by the Product Line Operations as they were conducted by Reliant on the Closing Date, and such infringement is not subject to Reliant’s indemnification obligations hereunder, the Sales-Based Contingent Purchase Price Payment amounts set forth above will be reduced by [***]% of the amount of any losses, costs, expenses, judgments, royalties and other license fees or other payments, paid or incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates (or their licensees or sublicensees) on account of such infringement (including for a license to such third party Patent(s)); provided, however, that the Sales-Based Contingent Purchase Price Payments payable to Reliant with respect to Net Sales for any calendar quarter shall not be reduced in aggregate, through the reductions set forth in this Section 3.3, by more than [***]% of the amount that would otherwise be payable (with any amount not deducted due to such deduction limitation carried forward to subsequent calendar quarters).

Each Sales-Based Contingent Purchase Price Payment shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.3 no later than thirty (30) days after the end of each Sales-Based Payment Period by wire transfer of immediately available funds directly to a bank account designated by Reliant.

(c) Audits. Reliant shall have the right to audit and validate Purchaser’s Quarterly Payment Reports as well as the information contained in such reports (provided that, in the event that the immediately prior audit did not result in an adjustment in Reliant’s favor, Reliant’s audit right shall not be exercised more than once per calendar year). If the amount owed by Purchaser was underpaid, Purchaser shall pay any additional undisputed amount owed and all accrued interest (calculated at “prime rate” as reported in The Wall Street Journal) thereon to Reliant within five (5) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of notice of such underpayment. If the amount underpaid was in excess of five percent (5%) of the amount owed, the reasonable fees for such audit shall also be paid by Purchaser within five business (5) days after its receipt of notice of same. If Purchaser overpaid any amounts, Reliant shall pay such overpaid amount to Purchaser within five (5) business days of the completion of such audit. Each audit shall be conducted during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice and in a manner that does not cause unreasonable disruption to the conduct of business of the Purchaser.

Any adjustment to the Purchase Price shall be allocated as provided by Code Section 1060. The dollar amount set forth on Schedule 3.4 for Goodwill, Going Concern Value, and Other Section 197 Intangibles shall be adjusted pursuant to the residual method under Section 1060 of the Code as a result of any purchase price adjustments. The Parties agree that the Milestone Payment will be allocated 100% to the Milestone Patent and that the Closing Date Payment will be allocated in the order that they are received by the Seller to the assets set forth above in the order set forth on Schedule 3.4. The Parties agree that the Sales-Based Contingent Purchase Price Payments will be allocated to the licenses granted under Section 2.6.

3.5 Penalty for Late Payments.

(iv) with respect to the Third Promotion Year, Purchaser shall pay to Reliant an amount equal to $[***] times the difference between the actual number of Primary Detail Equivalents conducted by Purchaser during such year and the number of Primary Detail Equivalents required to be conducted during such year (i.e., [***] plus any amounts carried forward from the Second Promotion Year pursuant to Section 7.9(c)(i)).

All amounts payable hereunder shall be paid by Purchaser within sixty (60) days of the end of the applicable promotion year, and such payments shall constitute liquidated damages in full and final satisfaction of any claims for Losses suffered or incurred by Reliant as a result of the failure by Purchaser to conduct the required number of Details under this Agreement.

7.10 Promotional Reports. Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the period commencing on the Closing Date through the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Initial Sale Date, provide to Reliant a report setting forth the total number of Details performed by the Purchaser’s Sales Representatives during such calendar quarter (broken down by medical professional and the type of Detail performed) (each, a “Promotional Report”).

If requested by Reliant, such approach shall be documented in a separate written pharmacovigilance agreement between Purchaser and Reliant. Reliant agrees to share relevant information it receives (either directly or indirectly) with Purchaser in a timely manner so as to allow Purchaser to comply with its responsibility to process pharmacovigilance information under this Section 7.12(c).

During the term of this Agreement, each Party shall report to the other Party any notification of any action by, or notification or other information which it receives (directly or indirectly) from, any Governmental Authority in the Territory (together with copies of correspondence related thereto), which (i) raises any material concerns regarding the safety or efficacy of any Product and/or any Additional Products, (ii) indicates or suggests a potential material liability for either Party to third parties arising in connection with the Product and/or any Additional Products, or (iii) indicates a reasonable potential for a need to initiate a recall, market withdrawal or similar action with respect to the Product and/or any Additional Products. In addition, each Party shall make its respective facilities available at reasonable times during business hours for inspection by representatives of Governmental Authorities with respect to the Product and, in the case of Purchaser, any Additional Products.

(a) promote or directly market [***] in any form to the pediatric market; or

(b) promote or directly market any pharmaceutical product indicated for the treatment of [***] to the pediatric market.

The restrictions set forth in (a) and (b) above shall not prohibit Purchaser from acquiring, directly or indirectly, any business or interest in any Person, whether as a proprietor, partner, shareholder, joint venturer, trustee or in any other capacity whatsoever, that otherwise would violate the restrictions contained in this Section 7.13 (such business or activities, a “Purchaser Restricted Business”); provided, however, that Purchaser shall cease to engage in or otherwise terminate any Purchaser Restricted Business as soon as practicable thereafter (and in any event within 90 days after the date of such acquisition); provided, further, that in the event Purchaser elects to divest such Purchaser Restricted Business, then, prior to divesting the Purchaser Restricted Business, it shall provide prior written notice to Reliant of its election and, if requested by Reliant, shall negotiate in good faith with Reliant for the sale of the Purchaser Restricted Business for a period of sixty (60) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change of control with respect to Purchaser or the acquisition of Purchaser by a third party shall not constitute the acquisition of a Purchaser Restricted Business by Purchaser and the restrictions provided in the

[***]: Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

first sentence of this Section 7.13 shall not apply to any direct or indirect parent of Purchaser or any Person that acquires Purchaser; provided, however, that the provisions in this Section 7.13 shall continue to apply to Purchaser and any Affiliate of Purchaser directly owning the Product Intellectual Property following any such change of control or acquisition transaction.

7.14 Restrictions on Competition by Reliant. Prior to the [***] anniversary of the Initial Sale Date or, if earlier, the first date Purchaser is no longer commercializing the Product or an Additional Product in the Territory, and so long as Purchaser is not otherwise in default of its obligations under this Agreement, Reliant shall not, within the Territory, either directly or through a subsidiary:

(b) promote or directly market any pharmaceutical product indicated for the treatment of [***] to the pediatric market.

The restrictions set forth in (a) and (b) above shall not prohibit Reliant from acquiring, directly or indirectly, any business or interest in any Person, whether as a proprietor, partner, shareholder, joint venturer, trustee or in any other capacity whatsoever, that otherwise would violate the restrictions contained in this Section 7.14 (such business or activities, a “Reliant Restricted Business”); provided, however, that Reliant shall cease to engage in or otherwise terminate any Reliant Restricted Business as soon as practicable thereafter (and in any event within 90 days after the date of such acquisition); provided, further, that in the event Reliant elects to divest such Reliant Restricted Business, then, prior to divesting the Reliant Restricted Business, it shall provide prior written notice to Purchaser of its election and, if requested by Purchaser, shall negotiate in good faith with Purchaser for the sale of the Reliant Restricted Business for a period of sixty (60) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change of control with respect to Reliant or the acquisition of Reliant by a third party shall not constitute the acquisition of a Reliant Restricted Business by Reliant and the restrictions provided in the first sentence of this Section 7.14 shall not apply to any direct or indirect parent of Reliant or any Person that acquires Reliant; provided, however, that the provisions in this Section 7.14 shall continue to apply to Reliant and any Affiliate of Reliant directly owning the Intellectual Property of Reliant relating to nizatidine and the Axid product line following any such change of control or acquisition transaction.

7.15 Amendments to Lilly Agreement. Reliant agrees that it shall not amend, modify or supplement the Lilly Agreement in any manner that would adversely affect Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement, or take any action or omit to take any action, which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement with respect to the Acquired Assets, the Oral Solution Xxxx, the right of reference to the Axid IR NDA, the Products or the Additional Products (including without limitation by resulting in the termination of any license or in the transfer to Lilly of any Intellectual Property right), without the consent of Purchaser.

commencement of litigation) to enforce against Lilly, for Purchaser’s benefit, the restriction set forth in the final sentence of Section 7.13 of the Lilly Agreement with respect to Products, Additional Products and products that compete with Products or Additional Products, provided that Purchaser shall have demonstrated to Reliant’s reasonable satisfaction that it would suffer material harm absent such enforcement.

(e) Reliant’s or any of Reliant’s Affiliate’s ownership of the Acquired Assets or the Product prior to the Closing;

provided, however, that Reliant shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from (A) the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of any Purchaser Indemnified Party, including, but not limited to, off-label promotion of the Product and/or any Additional Products or promotion of the Product and/or any Additional Products in a manner inconsistent with the Registrations and/or any applicable Laws, or (B) any material breach of this Agreement by Purchaser.

8.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. To the extent set forth in this Section 8.2, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Reliant and Reliant’s Affiliates and their respective parents, Affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, assignees, and successors (collectively, “Reliant Indemnified Parties”), at all times from and against and in respect of Losses which any Reliant Indemnified Party may suffer or incur, either directly or in connection with a third party claim, to the extent arising out of or based upon:

8.3 Indemnification Claims.

(a) Third Party Actions. In order to seek indemnification under this Article VIII, an Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party. In the case of a Third Party Action, an Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement (or threatened commencement) of any Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed Losses; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Losses for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VIII and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of any Third Party Action involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of

44 the defense of a Third Party Action, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party. The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action. The fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.3 or (ii) the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes (upon the advice of outside legal counsel) that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Other Claims. Within twenty (20) days after delivery of a Claim Notice that does not relate to a Third Party Action, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response to such Claim Notice, in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), or (iii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. Any Claim Notice that is not resolved by the Parties within such thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Indemnifying Party’s response shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.9 of this Agreement.

8.4 Other Limitations.

(a) Reliant shall not be liable for any Loss described in Section 8.1(a) unless and until the aggregate of all such Losses for which Reliant is liable is in excess of $250,000, in which event Reliant shall be liable for all Losses regardless of such threshold.

(b) Purchaser shall not be liable for any Loss described in Section 8.2(a) unless and until the aggregate of all such Losses for which Purchaser is liable is in excess of $250,000, in which event Purchaser shall be liable for all Losses regardless of such threshold.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt and without limitation to the provisions of Articles V and VI, neither Indemnifying Party shall have any obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any portion of Losses under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 to the extent that such portion of such Losses results directly from any action taken by, or at the express written request of, such Indemnified Party.

(d) No liability shall arise in respect of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein to the extent that liability for such breach occurs (or is increased) directly or indirectly as a result of any retrospective application of a change in applicable Law, or in accounting policies, procedures or practices, announced or, if not announced in advance of taking effect, taking effect, after the Closing Date.

(e) No Party hereto shall be entitled to recover any Losses or other amounts due from the other Party pursuant to this Agreement by retaining or setting off amounts (whether or not such amounts are liquidated or reduced to judgment) against any amounts due or to become due from such first party to such second party hereunder or under any Other Agreement or under any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing is without prejudice to any right of set-off expressly provided for in any Other Agreement, which does not involve setting off amounts due under this Agreement.

(f) All amounts paid by Reliant or Purchaser under this Article VIII shall be treated for all purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price except to the extent such treatment is not permitted by applicable Law. In the event that treatment as an adjustment to the Purchase Price is disputed by any taxing authority, the Party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other Party concerning resolution of such dispute.

8.5 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of Reliant and the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire; provided, however, (i) the representations and warranties of Reliant contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4(a), and of the Purchaser contained in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby without limitation, and (ii) the representations and warranties of Reliant contained in Section 5.5(b) shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for twenty-two (22) months.

(b) If an indemnification claim under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.2(a) is properly asserted in writing pursuant to Section 8.3 prior to the expiration as provided in Section 8.5(a) of the representation or warranty that is the basis for such claim, then such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such claim.

46 (c) Except as otherwise set forth in Sections 8.5(a) and 8.5(b) above or as otherwise explicitly specified in this Agreement, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date without expiration.

8.6 Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, except with respect to claims for fraud or for equitable relief, (a) claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, and (b) claims for specific performance of the covenants and obligations of the other party under this Agreement, shall, collectively, be the sole and exclusive remedies for claims and damages available to Reliant, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets or any certificate or document delivered in connection herewith.

8.7 Net Losses; Subrogation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to: (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Losses and (ii) any recoveries obtained by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) from any other third party. Each Indemnified Person shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such proceeds, benefits and recoveries. If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by an Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any Losses after the Indemnified Party (or any Affiliate) has received the benefit of any indemnification hereunder with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party (or such Affiliate) shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the net amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries, after deduction of any deductible or amount incurred by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) in connection with the collection thereof (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment).

(b) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Person in respect of any Losses, the Indemnifying Person will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Person (and its Affiliates) against any third party in respect of the Losses to which such payment relates. Such Indemnified Person (and its Affiliates) and Indemnifying Person will execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such subrogation rights.

8.8 Insurance. Each Party will have in force prior to the Initial Sale Date and shall maintain in good standing for so long as the Product (and, in the case of Purchaser, any Additional Product) is commercialized in the Territory, liability insurance policies in respect of the Product (and, in the case of Purchaser, any Additional Product), in each case with an insurer or insurers licensed to do business in the Territory and in a form reasonably acceptable to the other Party hereto, in scope and amount as required by law applicable to a Party’s activities hereunder and such additional amounts with scope and coverage as is normal and customary in the biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry generally for parties similarly situated, but in no event in an amount less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) per occurrence and in the aggregate. It is understood that such insurance will not be construed to limit a Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article VIII. Each Party will provide to

47 the other Party upon request a certificate evidencing the insurance such Party is required to obtain and keep in force under this Section 8.8. Such certificate will provide that such insurance will not expire or be cancelled or modified without at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the other Party.

8.9 No Consequential Damages.

50 Purchaser. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that this Agreement shall be binding upon each of its Affiliates and any of its licensees, sublicensees and assignees hereunder and that Reliant shall have the right to enforce this Agreement directly against any of such parties.

10.2 Expenses. Except as otherwise specified herein, each Party shall bear its own expenses with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.3 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy such determination shall not affect the enforceability of any others or of the remainder of this Agreement.

10.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing signed by all of the Parties hereto.

10.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth under Article VIII, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective Affiliates and no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon any third Parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.
