is other than a true, complete, absolute and irrevocable sale and assignment by the Seller to the
Purchaser of the Purchased Assets under applicable law, which waiver shall be enforceable against
the Seller in any Bankruptcy Event relating to the Seller. The sale, transfer, conveyance,
assignment, contribution and granting of the Purchased Assets shall be reflected on the Seller’s
financial statements and other records as a sale of assets to the Purchaser (except to the extent
GAAP or the rules of the SEC require otherwise with respect to the Seller’s consolidated financial
statements).
(c) The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser or its designee to execute, record and file,
and consents to the Purchaser or its designee executing, recording and filing, at the Purchaser’s
sole cost and expense, financing statements in the appropriate filing offices under the UCC (and
continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable), and amendments
thereto or assignments thereof, meeting the requirements of applicable law in such manner and in
such jurisdictions as are necessary or appropriate to evidence the purchase, acquisition and
acceptance by the Purchaser of the Purchased Assets and to perfect the security interest in the
Purchased Assets granted by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(d).
(d) Notwithstanding that the Seller and the Purchaser expressly intend for the sale, transfer,
conveyance, assignment, contribution and granting of the Purchased Assets to be a true, complete,
absolute and irrevocable sale and assignment, the Seller hereby grants, conveys, pledges and
assigns to the Purchaser, as security for its obligations created hereunder in the event that the
transfer contemplated by this Purchase and Sale Agreement is held not to be a sale, a security
interest in and to all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased
Assets and, in such event, this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall constitute a security agreement.

Section 2.2
Entitlement to Payments. The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the
following transfers and payments in respect of the Purchased Assets:
(a) The Seller agrees that the
Purchaser is entitled to the Purchased Assets and may enforce such entitlement directly against
Counterparty pursuant to the Counterparty License Agreement and the Currency Hedge Provider
pursuant to the Currency Hedge Agreement and, notwithstanding any claim or Set-off that the Seller
may have against the Purchaser or that Counterparty or the Currency Hedge Provider may have against
the Seller, the Seller agrees and will use its best efforts to ensure (including taking such
actions as the Purchaser shall reasonably request) that each of Counterparty and the Currency Hedge
Provider remits all payments that Counterparty or the Currency Hedge Provider, as the case may be,
is required to pay to the Seller under the Counterparty License Agreement and the Currency Hedge
Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Purchased Assets directly to the Collection
Account, pursuant to the Counterparty Instruction and the irrevocable direction described in
Section 5.2(c).
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto understand and agree that if Counterparty
fails to pay any Royalties when the Seller or the Purchaser reasonably believes such Royalties are
due under the Counterparty License Agreement, except for any Set-off contemplated by Section 2.2(c)
(each such unpaid amount, a “Discrepancy”), and if such Discrepancy is not the result of a
default or breach by the Seller under the Counterparty License Agreement, then the Seller shall not
be obligated to pay to the Purchaser or otherwise compensate or make the Purchaser whole with
respect to any such Discrepancy so long as the Seller is in compliance with the provisions of this
Purchase and Sale Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.2(b)
shall limit or affect in any respect the rights of any Purchaser Indemnified Party under Article
VI.
(c) The Seller agrees that it will promptly (and in any event within three Business Days) pay
to the Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.4 the amount of any Set-off by Counterparty against
any Royalties or other Purchased Assets to the extent that such Set-off arises out of or relates to
any period prior to the Royalties Commencement Date or to any events occurring, circumstances
existing or actions taken prior to the Royalties Commencement Date and that in each case has the
effect of reducing amounts to be paid to the Purchaser following the Closing Date.
Section 2.3 Purchase Price. In full consideration for the sale, transfer, conveyance,
assignment, contribution and granting of the Purchased Assets, and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Purchaser shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Seller, or the
Seller’s designee, on the Closing Date, the sum of $24,023,660, in immediately available funds by
wire transfer to the Seller Account (the “Purchase Price”), it being understood that any
excess portion of the consideration for the Purchased Assets, where the total consideration for the
Purchased Assets is equal to the fair market value of the Purchased Assets as agreed at arm’s
length by the Seller and the Purchaser, shall be deemed a capital contribution by the Seller to the
Purchaser in an amount equal to such excess portion.
Section 2.4 No Assumed Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision in this Purchase and
Sale Agreement or any other writing to the contrary, the Purchaser is purchasing, acquiring
12
and accepting only the Purchased Assets and is not assuming any liability or obligation of the
Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates of whatever nature, whether presently in existence or
arising or asserted hereafter, whether under the Counterparty License Agreement (including any
obligation to pay any amounts to, or accept any Set-off by, Counterparty or any of Counterparty’s
Affiliates), any Transaction Document or otherwise. All such liabilities and obligations shall be
retained by and remain liabilities and obligations of the Seller or the Seller’s Affiliates (the
“Excluded Liabilities and Obligations”).
Section 2.5 Excluded Assets. The Purchaser
does not, by purchase, acquisition or acceptance of the rights granted hereunder or otherwise
pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents, purchase, acquire or accept any assets or contract
rights of the Seller under the Counterparty License Agreement or the UAB Agreement, other than the
Purchased Assets, or any other assets of the Seller.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the date hereof as follows:
Section 3.1 Organization. The Seller is duly incorporated, validly existing as a
corporation and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all corporate
power and authority, and all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, consents and approvals
of all Governmental Authorities, required to own its property and carry on its business as
described in the filings made by the Seller with the SEC from time to time, to execute and deliver,
and perform its obligations under, the Transaction Documents to which it is party and to exercise
its rights and to perform its obligations under the Counterparty License Agreement. The Seller is
duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing in every
jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires
such license or qualification, except where the failure to do so would not, individually or in the
aggregate, be a Material Adverse Change.
Section 3.2 Seller Authorization. Each Transaction Document to which the Seller is
party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller. When each Transaction
Document to which the Seller is party has been duly executed and delivered by all other parties
thereto, such Transaction Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its respective terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally, general equitable principles and principles of public policy.
Section 3.3
Governmental and Third Party Authorizations. The execution and delivery by
the Seller of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is party, the performance by the Seller
of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of any of the transactions

authorization or declaration from, notice to, action or registration by or filing with
13
any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except for filings with the SEC, the filing of
the UCC financing statements referred to in Section 2.1, the notice to Counterparty contained in
the Counterparty Instruction, the irrevocable direction described in Section 5.2(c) and any third
party consents previously obtained.
Section 3.4 Ownership. The Seller is the exclusive owner of the entire right, title
(legal and equitable) and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets and the Intellectual

Intellectual Property Rights in the appropriate agencies in Japan, and the Seller is the exclusive
“owner of record” of such patents in each such jurisdiction. The Purchased Assets sold,
transferred, conveyed, assigned, contributed and granted to the Purchaser on the Closing Date have
not been pledged, sold, transferred, conveyed, assigned, contributed or granted by the Seller to
any other Person. The Seller has full right to sell, transfer, convey, assign, contribute and
grant the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser. Upon the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment,
contribution and granting by the Seller of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, the Purchaser
shall acquire good and marketable title to the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Liens, other
than Liens in favor of the Trustee, and shall be the exclusive owner of the Purchased Assets. The
Purchaser has or shall have the same rights as the Seller would have with respect to the Purchased
Assets (if the Seller were still the owner of such Purchased Assets) against any other Person.
Section 3.5 Solvency. The Seller has determined that, and by virtue of its entering
into the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and its authorization, execution
and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party, the Seller’s incurrence
of any liability hereunder or thereunder or contemplated hereby or thereby is in its own best
interests. On the Closing Date, (a) the fair saleable value of the Seller’s assets will be greater
than the sum of its debts and other obligations, including contingent liabilities, (b) the present
fair saleable value of the Seller’s assets will be greater than the amount that would be required
to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts and other obligations, including contingent
liabilities, as they become absolute and matured, (c) the Seller will be able to realize upon its
assets and pay its debts and other obligations, including contingent obligations, as they mature,
(d) the Seller will not have unreasonably small capital with which to engage in its business or be
unable to pay its debts as they mature, (e) the Seller has not incurred and does not have present
plans or intentions to incur debts or other obligations or liabilities beyond its ability to pay
such debts or other obligations or liabilities as they become absolute and matured, (f) the Seller
will not have become subject to any Bankruptcy Event and (g) the Seller will not have been rendered
insolvent within the meaning of Section 101(32) of Title 11 of the United States Code. No step has
been taken or is intended by the Seller or, so far as it is aware, any other Person to make the
Seller subject to a Bankruptcy Event.
Section 3.6 No Litigation. There is no (a) action, suit, arbitration proceeding,
claim, investigation or other proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or
investigative) pending or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened by or against the Seller or,
to the Knowledge of the Seller, pending or threatened by or against Counterparty with respect to
14
RAPIACTA, at law or in equity, or (b) inquiry or investigation (whether civil, criminal,
administrative, regulatory or investigative) by or before a Governmental Authority pending or, to
the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller or, to the Knowledge of the Seller,
pending or threatened against Counterparty with respect to RAPIACTA, that, in each case, (i) if
adversely determined, would, individually or in the aggregate, be a Material Adverse Change, or
(ii) challenges, or would have the effect of preventing, delaying, making illegal, or otherwise
would reasonably be expected to interfere with, any of the transactions contemplated by any of the
Transaction Documents. To the Knowledge of the Seller, no event has occurred or circumstance
exists that could reasonably be expected to give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement
of any such action, suit, arbitration, claim, investigation, proceeding or inquiry.
Section 3.7 Compliance with Laws. The Seller is not (a) in violation of and has not
violated, and, to the Knowledge of the Seller, is not under investigation with respect to, and has
not been threatened to be charged with or been given notice of any violation of, any law, statute,

subject to any judgment, order, writ, decree, injunction, stipulation, consent order, permit or
license granted, issued or entered by any Governmental Authority, that, in the case of clause (a)
or clause (b), would, individually or in the aggregate, be a Material Adverse Change. To the
Knowledge of the Seller, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that (with or without notice
or lapse of time, or both) would reasonably be expected to constitute or result in a violation by
the Seller of, or a failure on the part of the Seller to comply with, any such law, rule, ordinance
or regulation of, or any judgment, order, writ, decree, permit or license granted, issued or
entered by, any Governmental Authority, in each case, that would, individually or in the aggregate,
be a Material Adverse Change. The Seller is in compliance with the requirements of all applicable
laws, a breach of any of which would be a Material Adverse Change.
Section 3.8 No Conflicts.

under any term or provision of any of the organizational documents of the Seller. Except as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, be a Material Adverse Change, none of the execution and
delivery by the Seller of any of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is party, the
performance by the Seller of the obligations contemplated hereby or thereby or consummation of the

or properties may be subject or bound or (B) any term or provision of any contract, agreement,
indenture, lease, license, deed, commitment or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by
which the Seller or any of its assets or properties is bound or committed (including the

(ii) except as provided in any of the Transaction Documents to which it is party, result in or
require the creation or imposition of any Lien on the Intellectual Property Rights, RAPIACTA, the
Counterparty License Agreement or the Purchased Assets.
(b) The Seller has not granted, nor does there exist, any Lien on the Transaction Documents,
the Counterparty License Agreement, the Intellectual Property Rights or the Purchased Assets.
Except for the license granted by the Seller to Counterparty under the Counterparty License
Agreement, any joint ownership interest of UAB that may arise upon any termination of the UAB
Agreement (which joint ownership interest would be subject to the license granted by the Seller to
Counterparty under the Counterparty License Agreement), or as would not otherwise, individually or
in the aggregate, be a Material Adverse Change, there are no licenses, sublicenses, or other rights
under the Intellectual Property Rights in the Territory that have been granted to any other Person.

dealing with any Patent Office, including any duty to disclose to any Patent Office all information
known by such individuals to be material to the patentability of each of the Intellectual Property
Rights that are Patents covering RAPIACTA (including any relevant prior art), in each case, in
those jurisdictions in the Territory where such duties exist.
(d) Subsequent to the issuance of any Patents included in the Intellectual Property Rights
covering RAPIACTA, neither the Seller nor, to the Knowledge of the Seller, Counterparty has filed
any disclaimer or made or permitted any other voluntary reduction in the scope of such Patents. To
the Knowledge of the Seller, no allowable or allowed subject matter of the Patents included in the
Intellectual Property Rights covering RAPIACTA is subject to any competing conception claims of
allowable or allowed subject matter of any Patents of any third party and have not been the subject
of any interference, re-examination or opposition proceedings.

any investigation or claim by any Person to which the Seller or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, to
which Counterparty is or could reasonably be expected to be a party, and the Seller has not
received any written notice of the foregoing, that claims that the manufacture, use, marketing,
sale, offer for sale, importation or distribution of RAPIACTA in the Territory by Counterparty

Agreement, there is no contract, agreement or other arrangement (whether written or oral) to which
the Seller is a party or by which any of its assets or properties is bound or committed (i) that
creates a Lien on, or affects or relates in any material respect to, the Purchased Assets, the

action on the part of, and validly executed and delivered by, the Seller and, to the Knowledge of
the Seller, Counterparty. The Seller is not in breach or violation of or in default under the

the Seller or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, Counterparty.
18
(d) The Seller has not waived any rights or defaults under the Counterparty License Agreement
or released Counterparty, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under the Counterparty
License Agreement, in any case that would adversely affect the Purchaser’s rights under any of the

to Section 14.2 of the Counterparty License Agreement) or Counterparty (pursuant to Section 14.3(a)
of the Counterparty License Agreement) the right to terminate the Counterparty License Agreement or
give Counterparty the right to cease paying Royalties under the Counterparty License Agreement.
The Seller has not received any notice of an intention by Counterparty to terminate or breach the
Counterparty License Agreement, in whole or in part, or challenging the validity or enforceability
of the Counterparty License Agreement or the obligation to pay the Royalties under the Counterparty
License Agreement, or that the Seller or Counterparty is in default of its obligations under the
Counterparty License Agreement. The Seller is not aware of any default by Counterparty under the
Counterparty License Agreement. The Seller has no intention of terminating the Counterparty
License Agreement and has not given Counterparty any notice of termination of the Counterparty
License Agreement, in whole or in part.

delivery of and performance of obligations under the Transaction Documents will not require the
approval, consent, ratification, waiver or other authorization of Counterparty under the
Counterparty License Agreement or otherwise (except to the extent previously obtained) and will not
constitute a breach of or default or event of default under the Counterparty License Agreement or
any other agreement or law applicable thereto.
(h) The Seller has not consented to an assignment by Counterparty of any of Counterparty’s
rights or obligations under the Counterparty License Agreement and the Seller does not have

payments set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 of the Counterparty License
19
Agreement. The date of first commercial sale of RAPIACTA was January 26, 2010. Counterparty has exercised its option
to manufacture or have manufactured Compound for the Territory. The NI Option was not exercised by
Counterparty, and the NI Option Period has expired. There are no New Formulations.
Section 3.13 Set-off and Other Sources of Royalty Reduction. Except as provided in the
Counterparty License Agreement or for any set-off rights that might be available under law,
Counterparty has no right of Set-off under any contract or other agreement against the Royalties or
any other amounts payable to the Seller under the Counterparty License Agreement. Counterparty has
not exercised, and, to the Knowledge of the Seller, Counterparty has not had the right to exercise,
any Set-off against the Royalties or any other amounts payable to the Seller under the Counterparty
License Agreement. To the Knowledge of the Seller, there are no third party patents that, if
licensed by Counterparty, would provide a basis for a reduction in the royalties due to the Seller
pursuant to the Counterparty License Agreement based on the royalty or other payments made by
Counterparty in consideration of such license. There are no compulsory licenses that have been
granted by the Seller or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened with respect to the
Intellectual Property Rights, except as provided in the Counterparty License Agreement or rights
reserved to any government under law. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Set-off” as used in
this Section 3.13 does not include any items that may reduce Net Sales in accordance with the
definition thereof.
Section 3.14 UCC Matters. The Seller’s exact legal name is, and for the immediately
preceding 10 years has been, “BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc.” The Seller’s principal place of
business is, and for the immediately preceding 10 years has been, located in Birmingham, Alabama or

Seller has not been the subject of any merger or other corporate or other reorganization in which
its identity or status was materially changed, except in each case when it was the surviving or
resulting entity.
Section 3.15 Tax Matters. No deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax has
been made, or was required under applicable law to be made, from any payment to the Seller under
the Counterparty License Agreement. Except as individually or in the aggregate would not be a
Material Adverse Change, the Seller has filed (or caused to be filed) all tax returns and reports
required by law to have been filed by it and has paid all taxes required to be paid by it, except
any such taxes that are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for
which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on its books. The Seller has
never filed any tax return or report under any name other than its exact legal name.
Section 3.16 UAB Agreement. Under the UAB Agreement, payments due to UAB in respect of
RAPIACTA are equal to 4% of royalties and milestone payments received by the Seller from
Counterparty under the Counterparty License Agreement, and no other payment provisions of the UAB
Agreement are applicable to the Purchased Assets. The failure of the UAB Agreement to continue to
be in full force and effect would not (a) result in Counterparty
infringing any patent or intellectual property rights of UAB in respect of RAPIACTA or
misappropriating any of UAB’s trade secrets or other intellectual property rights in respect of
20
RAPIACTA or (b) give rise to an independent right of termination of the Counterparty
License Agreement (subject to Counterparty’s right to terminate the Counterparty License Agreement
at any time in its discretion pursuant to Section 14.3(b) thereof) or result in Counterparty being
entitled to cease the payment of royalties or milestone payments thereunder. There are no patents
or other intellectual property rights licensed to Counterparty under the Counterparty License
Agreement for which Counterparty would require a license from UAB to sell RAPIACTA in the Territory
if the UAB Agreement failed to continue to be in full force and effect.
Section 3.17 Margin Stock. The Seller is not engaged in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of buying or carrying margin stock, and no portion of the Purchase Price
shall be used by the Seller for a purpose that violates Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time.
Section 3.18 Disclosure. The Memorandum, taken as a whole, does not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. From
the date of the Memorandum until the date hereof and except as disclosed therein (or in any
supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse change or development involving or
anticipated to involve a prospective material adverse change in the Seller’s business relating to
the Purchased Assets or the Counterparty License Agreement or its ability to perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents. As of the date hereof, there is no fact known to the
Seller that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business relating
to the Purchased Assets or the Counterparty License Agreement or its ability to perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents that has not been set forth in the Memorandum or in any
supplement thereto.

become otherwise directly or indirectly affected or as to which any such Persons have a direct or

Assets or the transactions described herein or therein but in all cases excluding any
litigation brought by the Seller against the Purchaser or brought by the Purchaser against the
Seller.
23
(c) The Seller shall comply with all applicable laws with respect to the Transaction
Documents, the Counterparty License Agreement, the Purchased Assets and all ancillary agreements
related thereto, the violation of which would reasonably be expected to be a Material Adverse
Change.
Section 4.4 Payments on Account of the Purchased Assets.
(a) Notwithstanding the terms of the Counterparty Instruction and the irrevocable direction
described in Section 5.2(c), if Counterparty, the Currency Hedge Provider or any other Person makes

endorsements.

Sale Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds, without Set-off, to the Collection

shall have no right, title or interest whatsoever in such payment and shall not create or suffer to

Agreement where such Set-off (or any portion thereof) is made in respect of any event occurring,
circumstance existing or action taken prior to the Royalties Commencement Date but has the effect
of reducing amounts to be paid to the Purchaser following the Closing Date, then the Seller shall
cause the amount of such Set-off (or portion thereof, as the case may be) to be paid promptly (but
in no event later than five Business Days following such Set-off) to the Collection Account. For
the avoidance of doubt, the term “Set-off” as used in this Section 4.4(e) does not include any
items that may reduce Net Sales in accordance with the definition thereof.

Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Counterparty License Agreement.
25
(c) Promptly after (i) receiving notice from Counterparty (A) terminating the Counterparty
License Agreement (in whole or in part), (B) alleging any breach of or default under the
Counterparty License Agreement by the Seller or (C) asserting the existence of any facts,
circumstances or events that, alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events, could
reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time, or both) to give
rise to a breach of or default under the Counterparty License Agreement by the Seller or the right
to terminate the Counterparty License Agreement (in whole or in part) by Counterparty pursuant to
Section 14.3(a) of the Counterparty License Agreement or (ii) the Seller otherwise has knowledge of

the right to terminate the Counterparty License Agreement (in whole or in part) by Counterparty
pursuant to Section 14.3(a) of the Counterparty License Agreement, in each case, the Seller shall
(A) promptly give a written notice to the Purchaser describing in reasonable detail the relevant
breach, default or termination event, including a copy of any written notice received from
Counterparty or the other relevant Person, and, in the case of any breach or default or alleged
breach or default by the Seller, describing in reasonable detail any corrective action the Seller
proposes to take, and (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cure such breach or
default and shall give written notice to the Purchaser upon curing such breach or default;
provided, however, that, if the Seller fails to promptly cure such breach or
default, the Purchaser or the Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by the Counterparty License
Agreement, be entitled to take any and all actions the Purchaser considers reasonably necessary to
promptly cure such breach or default (including by making a Seller Shortfall Payment), and the
Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser for such purpose and reimburse the Purchaser promptly
(but in no event later than five Business Days following notice thereof) for all costs and expenses
incurred in connection therewith (including for any such Seller Shortfall Payment funded by the
Purchaser or the Trustee), with any such reimbursement to be made directly to the Collection
Account.
(d) Promptly after the Seller obtains knowledge of a breach or default or alleged breach or
default under the Counterparty License Agreement by Counterparty or of the existence of any facts,
circumstances or events that, alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events, could
reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time, or both) to give
rise to a breach or default under the Counterparty License Agreement by Counterparty or the right
to terminate the Counterparty License Agreement (in whole or in part) by the Seller pursuant to
Section 14.2 of the Counterparty License Agreement, in each case, the Seller shall (i) promptly
give a written notice to the Purchaser describing in reasonable detail the relevant breach, default
or termination event and (ii) proceed in consultation with the Purchaser and take such permissible
actions (including commencing legal action against Counterparty and the selection of legal counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser) to enforce compliance by Counterparty with the relevant
provisions of the Counterparty License Agreement and to exercise any or all of the Purchaser’s or
the Seller’s rights and remedies, whether under the
Counterparty License Agreement or by operation of law, with respect thereto. The Seller
acknowledges and agrees that, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Seller and the
Purchaser shall, at the request of the Trustee (at the direction of Noteholders of a majority of
the
26
outstanding principal balance of the Notes), jointly with the Trustee enforce their respective
contractual rights under the Counterparty License Agreement.
(e) The Seller shall (i) subject to the provisions of the Counterparty License Agreement and
any rights of Counterparty or UAB, take such actions as are commercially reasonable, and prepare,
execute, deliver and file any and all agreements, documents and instruments in connection therewith
that are reasonably necessary, to diligently preserve and maintain the Intellectual Property
Rights, including payment of maintenance fees or annuities, at the sole expense of the Seller, and
(ii) take commercially reasonable measures to diligently defend (and enforce) the Intellectual
Property Rights, in such manner as it determines in the exercise of reasonable business judgment,
against infringement or interference by any other Person, and against any claims of invalidity or
unenforceability, in any relevant jurisdiction (including by bringing legal action for infringement
or defending counterclaims of invalidity or action of a third party for declaratory judgment of
non-infringement or non-interference), with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and
whose reasonable fees and expenses shall be borne by the Seller, in each case, where the failure to
defend or enforce the Intellectual Property Rights would reasonably be expected to be a Material
Adverse Change. The Seller shall not disclaim or abandon, or fail to take any commercially
reasonable action necessary to prevent the disclaimer or abandonment of, any Patents included in
the Intellectual Property Rights. The Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole expense, to
participate in and control, with counsel appointed by it, any meeting, discussion, action, suit or
proceeding involving the infringement, legality, validity or enforceability of the Intellectual
Property Rights or the Counterparty License Agreement to the same extent that the Seller has such
rights under the Counterparty License Agreement consistent with the exercise of reasonable business
judgment, including any counterclaim, settlement discussions or meetings, and the Seller shall
exercise and enforce such rights on its own behalf (and on behalf of the Purchaser) to the fullest
extent permissible under the terms of the Counterparty License Agreement; provided, that
the Seller’s exercise and enforcement of such rights shall not result in a breach of this Purchase
and Sale Agreement or a Material Adverse Change; provided, further, that the fees
and expenses of the Purchaser’s counsel in connection therewith shall be borne by the Seller if
such infringement, legality, validity or enforceability is caused by the Seller.
(f) Except in connection with an assignment by the Seller to any other Person with which the
Seller may merge or consolidate or to which the Seller may sell all or substantially all of its
assets or all of its assets related to Licensed Products in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7.4, the Seller shall not dispose of or encumber the Intellectual Property Rights (in whole
or in part).
(g) The Seller shall to the extent reasonably practicable make available its records and
personnel to the Purchaser in connection with any prosecution of litigation by the Purchaser
against any party to the Counterparty License Agreement (other than the Seller) to enforce any of
the Purchaser’s rights under the Counterparty License Agreement, and, to the
extent commercially reasonable, provide assistance and authority to file and bring the
litigation, including, if required to bring the litigation, being joined as a party plaintiff.
27
Section 4.6 Termination of the Counterparty License Agreement; Mergers, Consolidations and
Asset Sales Involving Counterparty.
(a) Following any termination of the Counterparty License Agreement in respect of one or more
countries in the Territory, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) enter into
a new agreement or other arrangement to license and sublicense the Intellectual Property Rights (or
any portion thereof), as such rights may revert back to the Seller under and subject to the terms
and conditions of the Counterparty License Agreement and the UAB Agreement, to one or more third
parties in such country or countries of the Territory under which such third party will agree to
use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, manufacture, commercialize and market RAPIACTA in
such country or countries in the Territory, in which case the Seller shall instruct such third
parties to make the corresponding royalty payments in respect of Commercial Sales, if any, directly
to the Collection Account, and (ii) develop, manufacture, commercialize and market RAPIACTA in such
country or countries in the Territory through such third party or by itself (in which case the
Seller shall make the corresponding royalty payments directly to the Collection Account), it being
understood that any such royalty payments shall only be an amount equivalent to the royalty that
would have been payable by Counterparty, net of all deductions and adjustments, if the Counterparty
License Agreement was still in effect and such commercialization was effected by Counterparty).
(b) If there occurs a merger or consolidation of the Seller, on the one hand, and Counterparty
or its Affiliates, on the other hand, a sale of all or substantially all of the Seller’s assets to
Counterparty or a sale or assignment of the Counterparty License Agreement or the Intellectual
Property Rights by the Seller to Counterparty, and in any such case the Counterparty License
Agreement is terminated in connection therewith, the Seller (or its successor) shall pay to the
Purchaser royalties on Commercial Sales of the Licensed Products in the Territory for the term of
the Counterparty License Agreement on the same basis as if the Counterparty License Agreement had
continued and the Purchaser’s rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and the covenants of the
Seller under this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall continue to apply on the same basis as if the
Counterparty License Agreement was in place between the Seller and Counterparty.
Section 4.7 Audits. The Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser, and the Seller shall, upon the written request of the Purchaser, cause an inspection or
audit of Counterparty’s books and records to be conducted pursuant to, and in accordance with,
Section 9.8 of the Counterparty License Agreement; provided, however, that the
Seller shall retain the exclusive right to inspect and audit Counterparty’s books and records at
any time and from time to time at its sole discretion for payments that are paid or payable to the
Seller pursuant to the Counterparty License Agreement with respect to Net Sales and Royalties
attributable to the period prior to the Royalties Commencement Date. For the purposes of
exercising the Purchaser’s rights pursuant to this Section 4.7, the Seller shall select such public
accounting firm as the Purchaser shall
reasonably recommend for such purpose. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that all of the
expenses of any inspection or audit carried out for the benefit of the Purchaser that would
otherwise be borne by the Seller pursuant to the Counterparty License Agreement shall instead be
borne by the Purchaser, including such fees and expenses of
28
such public accounting firm as are to
be borne by the Seller pursuant to Section 9.8 of the Counterparty License Agreement together with
the Seller’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such examination or audit.
The Seller will furnish any inspection or audit report prepared by such public accounting firm to
the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall have the right to require the Seller, in writing, at the sole
expense of the Purchaser, to exercise the Seller’s rights under the Counterparty License Agreement
to cause Counterparty to cure such discrepancy in accordance with the Counterparty License
Agreement.
Section 4.8 Existence. The Seller shall (i) preserve and maintain its existence
(provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.8(i) shall prohibit the Seller from entering
into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation with, or selling or otherwise transferring all or
substantially all of its assets to, any other person if the Seller is the continuing or surviving
entity or if the surviving or continuing or acquiring entity assumes all of the obligations of the
Seller), (ii) preserve and maintain its rights, franchises and privileges unless failure to do any
of the foregoing would not be a Material Adverse Change, and (iii) qualify and remain qualified in
good standing in each jurisdiction where the failure to preserve and maintain such existence,
rights, franchises, privileges and qualifications would be a Material Adverse Change, including
appointing and employing such agents or attorneys in each jurisdiction where it shall be necessary
to take action under this Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Section 4.9 Approval of Actions of Purchaser. To the extent approval by the members
of the Purchaser is required prior to any action by the Purchaser to perform its obligations under
the Transaction Documents to which the Purchaser is party, the Seller, so long as it is the holder
of a majority of the Capital Securities of the Purchaser, shall approve any such action.
Section 4.10 Payments to UAB. The Seller shall pay to UAB, no later than when
required under the UAB Agreement, the amounts paid by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to
Section 3.4 of the Indenture. The Seller shall receive and hold such funds in one or more separate
accounts and shall not commingle such funds with any other funds of the Seller.
Section 4.11 Currency Hedge Agreement.
(a) Except to the extent specifically described in Section 4.11(e) or Section 4.11(f), the
Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, (i) forgive or release, or
fail to exercise any rights or options constituting or involving the right to receive, any Currency
Hedge Payment, (ii) terminate or cancel (in whole or in part), or consent to any
termination or cancellation of (in whole or in part), the Currency Hedge Agreement, (iii)
waive, amend, supplement, modify or restate the Currency Hedge Agreement or any provision thereof
that could adversely affect any Currency Hedge Payments, (iv) assign any of its obligations under
the Currency Hedge Agreement or (v) agree to do any of the foregoing.
(b) Promptly after (i) receiving notice from the Currency Hedge Provider (A) terminating the
Currency Hedge Agreement (in whole or in part), (B) alleging any breach of or default under the
Currency Hedge Agreement by the Seller or (C) asserting the existence of any facts, circumstances
or events that, alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events, could reasonably be
expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time, or both) to
29
give rise to a
breach of or default under the Currency Hedge Agreement by the Seller or the right to terminate the
Currency Hedge Agreement (in whole or in part) for cause by the Currency Hedge Provider or (ii) the
Seller otherwise has knowledge of any fact, circumstance or event that, alone or together with
other facts, circumstances or events, could reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of
notice or passage of time, or both) to give rise to a breach of or default under the Currency Hedge
Agreement by the Seller or give the right to terminate the Currency Hedge Agreement (in whole or in
part) for cause by the Currency Hedge Provider, in each case, the Seller shall promptly give a
written notice to the Purchaser describing in reasonable detail the relevant breach, default or
termination event, including a copy of any written notice received from the Currency Hedge
Provider, and, in the case of any breach or default or alleged breach or default by the Seller,
describing in reasonable detail any corrective action the Seller proposes to take. If the Seller
fails to promptly cure such breach or default, the Purchaser or the Trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by the Currency Hedge Agreement, be entitled to take any and all actions the Purchaser
considers reasonably necessary to promptly cure such breach or default (including by making a
Seller Shortfall Payment), and the Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser for such purpose and
reimburse the Purchaser promptly (but in no event later than five Business Days following notice
thereof) for all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including for any such Seller
Shortfall Payment funded by the Purchaser or the Trustee), with any such reimbursement to be made
directly to the Collection Account.
(c) Promptly after the Seller obtains knowledge of a breach or default or alleged breach or
default under the Currency Hedge Agreement by the Currency Hedge Provider or of the existence of
any facts, circumstances or events that, alone or together with other facts, circumstances or
events, could reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or
both) to give rise to a breach or default under the Currency Hedge Agreement by the Currency Hedge
Provider or the right to terminate the Currency Hedge Agreement (in whole or in part) for cause by
the Seller, in each case, the Seller shall (i) promptly give a written notice to the Purchaser
describing in reasonable detail the relevant breach, default or termination event and (ii) proceed
in consultation with the Purchaser and take commercially reasonable actions (including commencing
legal action against the Currency Hedge Provider and the selection of legal counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser) to enforce compliance by the Currency Hedge Provider with the
relevant provisions of the Currency Hedge Agreement and to exercise any or all of the Seller’s or
the Purchaser’s rights and remedies, whether under the Currency Hedge Agreement or by operation of
law, with respect thereto. The Seller
acknowledges and agrees that, if an Event of Default occurs and is occurring, the Seller and
the Purchaser shall, at the request of the Trustee (at the direction of Noteholders of a majority
of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes), jointly with the Trustee enforce their
respective contractual rights under the Currency Hedge Agreement.
(d) The Seller shall provide the Purchaser and the Trustee with an officer’s certificate of
the Seller within five Business Days in the event the Seller (i) effects any permitted
cancellation, unwind, termination, disposition, amendment or modification of the Currency Hedge
Agreement or all or any portion of an Option or (ii) enters into any replacement foreign currency
hedge arrangement, in each case, as described in Section 4.11(e), and certifying as to
30
the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, any such
permitted cancellation, unwind, termination, disposition, amendment or modification of the Currency
Hedge Agreement or all or any portion of an Option and/or the entry into any such permitted
replacement foreign currency hedge arrangement shall not be deemed to constitute or result in a
Material Adverse Change for any purpose.
(e) The Seller shall not cancel, unwind, terminate, dispose of, amend or modify all or any
portion of the Currency Hedge Agreement unless (i) the Seller contemporaneously enters into one or
more replacement foreign currency hedge arrangements with the Currency Hedge Provider (which
replacement foreign currency hedge arrangements may be in the form of one or more options or a
different type of foreign currency hedge), provided that the replacement foreign currency hedge
arrangements provide for a foreign currency hedge in respect of at least an equivalent notional
amount of yen as the Option(s) (or portion(s) thereof) so replaced, provide for a hedge of the
yen-dollar exchange rate at an exchange rate at least as favorable to Noteholders as the exchange
rate set forth in the Option(s) (or portion(s) thereof) so replaced, are otherwise on terms not
materially less favorable to Noteholders (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of
the Purchaser) than the Option(s) (or portion(s) thereof) so replaced, and provide for payments
payable in respect of such replacement foreign currency hedge arrangements by the Currency Hedge
Provider to be made to the Collection Account, (ii) there has been a material breach of the
Currency Hedge Agreement by the Currency Hedge Provider permitting the Seller to so cancel, unwind,
terminate or dispose of all or any portion of the Currency Hedge Agreement pursuant to its terms
(in which case, with respect to this clause (ii), the Seller will be permitted, but shall not be
obligated, to enter into new foreign currency hedging arrangements with another currency hedge
provider, in which case the Seller will not be required to direct any payments payable in respect
of such replacement foreign currency hedge arrangements by such other currency hedge provider to
the Collection Account), (iii) the Notes are no longer outstanding, (iv) the Noteholders have
foreclosed on all or any portion of the Collateral or the Issuer Pledged Collateral in connection
with an exercise of remedies under the Indenture or (v) in the case of all or any portion of an
Option, the Purchaser has effected foreign currency exchange spot market transactions of yen to
dollars at a yen-dollar foreign currency exchange spot rate of $1≤¥100 (but only in respect of the
notional amount of yen in respect of such Option that is less than or equal to the amount of yen so
exchanged during the period to which such Option relates).
(f) The Seller shall not exercise its one-time right to terminate the Options expiring
beginning in 2016 through and including 2020 pursuant to the Confirmation (or any replacement
thereof) constituting part of the Currency Hedge Agreement unless the provisions of Section
4.11(e)(i), Section 4.11(e)(iii) or Section 4.11(e)(iv) apply.
(g) The Seller shall not enter into any “Transaction” under any ISDA Master Agreement
constituting part of the Currency Hedge Agreement (with “Transaction” for this purpose having the
meaning specified in such ISDA Master Agreement) except for the Options entered into under the
Confirmation constituting part of the Currency Hedge Agreement on the date hereof and any other
foreign currency hedge arrangements entered into by the Seller as permitted by Section 4.11(e)(i)
of this Purchase and Sale Agreement.

INDEMNIFICATION
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.1 Indemnification by the Seller. The Seller hereby indemnifies and holds
each of the Purchaser and its Affiliates and any and all of their respective partners, directors,
managers, members, officers, employees, agents and controlling Persons (each, a “Purchaser
Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against, and will pay to each Purchaser Indemnified Party
the amount of, any and all Losses (including attorneys’ fees) awarded against or incurred or
suffered by such Purchaser Indemnified Party, whether or not involving a third party claim, demand,
action or proceeding, arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or
certification made by the Seller in any of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is party
32
or certificates given by the Seller to the Purchaser in writing pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document, (ii) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the
Seller to the Purchaser pursuant
to any Transaction Document to which the Seller is party or the Counterparty License
Agreement, (iii) any Excluded Liabilities and Obligations (unless such Excluded Liabilities and
Obligations are due to the Purchaser not complying with any confidentiality provisions set forth in
the Counterparty License Agreement), (iv) claims arising on or after the Closing Date and asserted
against a Purchaser Indemnified Party relating to the transactions contemplated in any Transaction
Document or the Counterparty License Agreement and (v) any fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or
other amounts incurred or owed by the Seller to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other
Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Purchase and Sale Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude
any indemnification to any Purchaser Indemnified Party that (A) has the effect of imposing on the
Seller any recourse liability for Royalties because of the insolvency or other creditworthiness
problems of Counterparty or the insufficiency of the Royalties, whether as a result of the amount
of cash flow arising from sales of RAPIACTA or otherwise, unless resulting from the failure of the
Seller to perform its obligations under this Purchase and Sale Agreement, (B) results from the bad
faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Purchaser Indemnified Party, (C) results from
the failure of any other Person to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction
Documents or (D) results from the Seller’s acts or omissions based upon the written instructions
from any Purchaser Indemnified Party. Any amounts due to any Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder
shall be payable by the Seller to such Purchaser Indemnified Party upon demand. In addition to the
foregoing obligations of the Seller, the Seller agrees (a) to pay to the Purchaser on demand all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the enforcement of the
Transaction Documents against the Seller or any Affiliates of the Seller, (b) to indemnify the
Purchaser on an after-tax
basis for any stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection
with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of the Transaction Documents, and to indemnify
each Purchaser Indemnified Party on an after-tax basis in respect of any liabilities with respect
to such taxes and fees, and (c) to indemnify the Purchaser on an after-tax basis for any U.S.
federal, state or local or any foreign income, franchise or other taxes imposed on income or assets
(including any interest, penalties or accountant or counsel fees incurred in connection with such
taxes) asserted against, withheld from or required to be withheld by the Purchaser at any time that
the Notes are outstanding.
Section 6.2 Procedures. If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any
investigation by any Governmental Authority) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified
party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to
Section 6.1, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of
any such claim, demand, action or proceeding, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if
any; provided, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under Section 6.1
unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of, or has a material
adverse effect on the exercise or prosecution of, substantive rights or defenses by the
indemnifying party. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party and it
33
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, to participate therein and, to the
extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel
to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Article VI for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party unless (a) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually
agreed to the retention of such counsel, (b) the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such
proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party or (c) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of
interests between them based on the advice of counsel to the indemnifying party. It is agreed that
the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the
same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law
firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. The
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party
from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement,
compromise or discharge of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge, as the case may be, (i)
includes an unconditional written release of such indemnified party, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject
matter of such claim or proceeding, (ii) does not include any statement as to an admission of
fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (iii) does not
impose any continuing material obligation or restrictions on any indemnified party.
Section 6.3 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud or intentional breach,
following the Closing, the indemnification afforded by this Article VI shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy for any and all Losses sustained or incurred by a party hereto in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including with respect to any breach of
any representation, warranty or certification made by a party hereto in any of the Transaction
Documents or certificates given by a party hereto in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or any
breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by a party hereto pursuant to any Transaction
Document. Notwithstanding anything in this Purchase and Sale Agreement to the contrary, in the
event of any breach or failure in performance of any covenant or agreement contained in any
Transaction Document, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to specific performance,
injunctive or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 7.2.

Section 7.4 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Purchase and Sale
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. The Seller shall not be entitled to assign any of its
obligations and rights under any of the Transaction
Documents without the prior written consent of the Purchaser; provided,
however, that the Seller may, without the consent of the Purchaser, assign any of its
obligations or rights under the Transaction Documents to any other Person with which it may merge
or consolidate or to which it may sell all or substantially all of its assets or all of its assets
related to the Licensed Products, provided that the assignee under such assignment agrees
to be bound by the terms of the Transaction Documents and furnish a written agreement to the
Purchaser in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser to that effect. The
Purchaser may assign any of its obligations and rights hereunder without restriction and without
the consent of the Seller. The Purchaser shall give notice of any such assignment to the Seller
and Counterparty promptly after the occurrence thereof. The Seller shall be under no obligation to
reaffirm any representations, warranties or covenants made in this Purchase and Sale Agreement or
any of the other Transaction Documents or take any other action in connection with any such
assignment by the Purchaser.
Section 7.5 Independent Nature of Relationship. Except for any Capital Securities of the Purchaser held by the Seller, the relationship
between the Seller and the Purchaser is solely that of seller and purchaser, and neither the Seller
nor the Purchaser has any fiduciary or other special relationship with the other party hereto or
any of its Affiliates. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document shall be
deemed to constitute the Seller and the Purchaser as a partnership, an association, a joint venture
or any other kind of entity or legal form.
Section 7.6 Entire Agreement. This Purchase and Sale Agreement, together with the
Exhibits hereto (which are incorporated herein by reference), and the other Transaction Documents
constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral,
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Purchase and Sale Agreement.
No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein
(or in the Exhibits hereto or the other Transaction Documents) has been made or
36
relied upon by
either party hereto. Except as described in Section 7.15, neither this Purchase and Sale Agreement
nor any provision hereof is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and
the other Persons referenced in Article VI any rights or remedies hereunder.
Section 7.7 Governing Law.
(a) THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING
TO CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and
its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New
York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Purchase and Sale Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment,
and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court
or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Purchase and
Sale Agreement in any court referred to in Section 7.7(b). Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 7.3. Nothing in this Purchase and Sale Agreement will affect the
right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Each of the
parties hereto waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be
made by any other means permitted by New York law.
Section 7.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT,
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE
OTHER
37
PARTY HERETO
HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER PARTY HERETO WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.8.
Section 7.9 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Purchase and Sale
Agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
provision shall be excluded from this Purchase and Sale Agreement and the balance of this Purchase
and Sale Agreement shall be
interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall remain in full force and effect be
enforceable in accordance with its terms. Any provision of this Purchase and Sale Agreement held
invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree by a court of competent jurisdiction shall remain
in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
Section 7.10 Counterparts. This Purchase and Sale Agreement may be signed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Purchase and Sale Agreement
shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by
the other party hereto. Any counterpart may be executed by facsimile signature and such facsimile
signature shall be deemed an original.
Section 7.11 Amendments; No Waivers. Neither this Purchase and Sale Agreement nor any term or provision hereof may be amended,
supplemented, restated, waived, changed or modified except with the written consent of the parties
hereto. No waiver of any right hereunder shall be effective unless such waiver is signed in
writing by the party hereto against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. No failure or delay
by either party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No notice to or demand on
either party hereto in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. No waiver or approval hereunder shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such
waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder
shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder. The
rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law.
Section 7.12 Limited Recourse. The Seller accepts that the enforceability against the
Purchaser of any obligations of the Purchaser hereunder shall be limited to the assets of the
Purchaser, whether tangible or intangible, real or personal and the proceeds thereof. Once all
such assets have been realized upon and such assets (and proceeds thereof) have been applied in
accordance with the Indenture, any outstanding obligations of the Purchaser to the Seller hereunder
shall be extinguished. The Seller further agrees that it shall take no action against any
employee, director, officer or administrator of the Purchaser in relation to this Purchase and Sale
Agreement; provided, that nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser (or its permitted
successors or assigns) from pursuing claims, if any, against any such Person; provided,
further, that the
38
foregoing shall not in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect any
rights of the Seller to proceed against any employee, director, officer or administrator of the
Purchaser (a) for intentional and willful fraud or intentional and willful misrepresentations on
the part of or by such employee, director, officer or administrator or (b) for the receipt of any
distributions or payments to which the Seller or any successor in interest is entitled, other than
distributions expressly permitted pursuant to the other
Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.12 does not affect the
obligations of any holder of Capital Securities of the Purchaser under the Pledge and Security
Agreement or the ability of the Trustee or any Noteholder to exercise any rights or remedies it may
have under the Pledge and Security Agreement.
Section 7.13 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller hereby
authorizes the Purchaser, at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to offset any amounts payable by the Purchaser to, or for the account of, the Seller against
any obligations of the Seller to the Purchaser arising in connection with the Transaction Documents
(including amounts payable pursuant to Article VI) that are then due and payable.
Section 7.14 Table of Contents and Headings. The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Purchase and Sale
Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part
hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.
Section 7.15 Acknowledgment and Agreement. The Seller expressly acknowledges and
agrees that all of the Purchaser’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Purchase and
Sale Agreement shall be pledged and assigned to the Trustee as collateral by the Purchaser pursuant
to the Indenture, and the Seller consents to such pledge and assignment, without regard to whether
an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture. Each of the parties hereto
acknowledges and agrees that the Trustee, acting on behalf of the Noteholders, is a third party
beneficiary of the rights of the Purchaser arising hereunder and shall be entitled to exercise
and/or enforce certain rights of the Purchaser hereunder.
