(b) The Parties agree that:
(i) For U.S. federal Income Tax purposes, the sale of (A) the Transferred Interests in Alkermes Gainesville (which is a disregarded entity with respect to Eagle Holdings) shall be treated as a sale of the assets of Alkermes Gainesville and (B) the Transferred Interests in Newco (which is a disregarded entity with respect to APIL) shall be treated as a sale of the assets of Newco;

(d) Eagle Holdings shall retain Duff & Xxxxxx Corporation which shall conduct an appraisal and determine the gross fair market value of the assets of Alkermes Gainesville (the “Appraised Value”). Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Eagle Holdings shall deliver to Purchasers a schedule setting forth the Appraised Value and the allocation of the Initial Purchase Price allocable to the Transferred Interests in Alkermes Gainesville (as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii)) (plus any liabilities of Alkermes Gainesville that are required to be treated as part of the purchase price of the assets of Alkermes Gainesville for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes) among the asset classes of Alkermes Gainesville (the “Allocation Schedule”), with the asset classes being those set forth in Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.338-6. The Allocation Schedule will not allocate to various assets within the asset class. The Appraised Value and Allocation Schedule shall be subject to such appropriate adjustments, if any, by the appraisers and Eagle Holdings upon the determination of the Post-Closing Adjustment.

The Appraised Value and Allocation Schedule shall be deemed final unless Purchasers notify Eagle Holdings in writing that Purchasers object to the Appraised Value and/or one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Purchasers. In the event of any such objection, Sellers and Purchasers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Sellers and Purchasers are unable to resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Sellers, such dispute shall be resolved by an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants mutually appointed by Sellers and Purchasers whose determination shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchasers, on the other hand; provided, however, that if one such side substantially prevails in such dispute, then the non-prevailing Party(ies) shall bear all such fees and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt a Party shall be deemed to have “substantially prevailed” if the final determination by the accounting firm, in the case of Purchasers, is at least twenty percent (20%) greater than the Appraised Value, and, in the case of Sellers, is not more than twenty percent (20%) greater than the Appraised Value. Sellers and Purchasers agree to file their respective IRS Forms 8594 and all Tax Returns in accordance with the Allocation Schedule. Neither Purchasers nor Sellers shall take any position in a filed Income Tax Return or statement that is inconsistent with such allocations and Purchasers and Sellers will use reasonable efforts to sustain such position in any Tax Proceeding.
(e) Purchasers shall have the right to withhold all Taxes it is required by Law to withhold from all payments made hereunder, and will provide Sellers with proof of deposit or payment of any such Taxes withheld. For the avoidance of doubt, however, in connection with the sale of the Transferred Interests in Newco, APIL shall provide to Purchasers a valid and properly completed W-8BEN-E establishing its status as the beneficial owner for purposes of the U.S.-Ireland Treaty of those payments to APIL of the Purchase Price (including, for the avoidance of doubt, portions of the Initial Purchase Price, the Warrant and the Earn-Out Consideration) made under Section 2.2(b)(ii) and so long as APIL has provided Purchasers with such a W-8BEN-E that has not expired, Purchasers shall treat all such payments to APIL as exempt from U.S. federal Income Tax pursuant to the Code and/or Article 12 or Article 13 of
-18-
the U.S.-Ireland Income Tax Treaty. In addition, provided that APIL provides a form W-8BEN-E upon which Purchasers may rely to show that the payments made to APIL are not subject to FATCA withholding, Purchasers shall not withhold any amounts under FATCA from payments to be made to APIL

(b) In connection with the Reorganization, APIL and Newco will enter into a license agreement (the “IP License Agreement”), in form reasonably acceptable to the Parties, granting to Newco licenses in substantially similar form and scope as those granted to Daravita pursuant to the Intellectual Property Transfer and License Agreement.

(a) Each Seller shall jointly and severally indemnify the Transferred Entities, Purchasers and each of Purchasers’ Affiliates and hold them harmless from and against any loss, claim, liability, expense or other damage attributable to: (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Transferred Entities that relate to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, VAT or unitary group of which the Transferred Entities (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. Law or regulation; (iii) any and all Taxes of any person (other than the Transferred Entities) imposed on the Transferred Entities as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing (including any Transferred Entity being a member of a VAT grouping); (iv) any Taxes of another party that a Transferred Entity was required to withhold in any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (v) a breach of Section 3.12(k) of this Agreement, and (vi) any Irish stamp duty arising under Section 79(7)(b) of the Stamp Duties Consolidation Xxx 0000 or Irish corporation tax on chargeable gains arising under Section 623(4) of the Taxes Consolidation Xxx 0000 arising or imposed on a Transferred Entity as a direct consequence of the Transferred Entity ceasing on Closing to be associated for stamp duty purposes or a member of a group for Irish corporation tax on chargeable gains; provided, however, that Sellers shall (x) have no obligation to indemnify Purchasers against any Taxes or other expenses incurred by the Transferred Entities resulting from, consisting of, or related to any transaction entered into or action taken by Purchasers occurring on or after the Closing Date after the Closing (including, without limitation, any Divestiture by Purchasers) and (y) be liable only to the extent that such Taxes exceed the amount, if any, reserved specifically for such Taxes in Working Capital and taken into account in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Agreement.
(b) Purchasers and their Affiliates shall pay or cause to be paid and shall indemnify Sellers and their Affiliates and protect, save and hold them harmless from and against
-56-
any loss, claim, liability, expense or other damage attributable to any Taxes imposed on Sellers and their Affiliates (including, prior to Closing, the Transferred Entities) caused by, resulting from, consisting of, or related to (i) Purchasers’ failure to comply with their obligations under Section 2.2(b) with respect to the allocation and reporting of the Purchase Price for the Transferred Interests or failure to treat any portion of the Initial Purchase Price, the Warrant or the Earn-Out Consideration paid to APIL (other than by reason of APIL failing to meet its obligations under Section 2.2(e) to provide Purchasers with valid withholding certificates as set forth therein) as exempt from United States federal Income Tax under the Code and/or Article 12 or Article 13 of the U.S.-Ireland Tax Treaty or for exemption from FATCA Taxes, and (ii) any transaction entered into or action taken by Purchasers occurring on or after the Closing Date after the Closing (including, without limitation, any Divestiture by Purchasers).
(c) The provisions of Section 10.6(c) shall apply with respect to Tax indemnity payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 7.2. Payment of any Tax indemnity payment required to be made under this Section 7.2 shall be made to the party entitled to indemnification at least two (2) Business Days before the date payment of the Taxes to which such payment relates is due by such indemnitee and, if payment has not been made at such time, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of a written demand from the indemnitee.
7.3 Straddle Period. In the case of a Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, or payroll of the Transferred Entities for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on a deemed interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and the amount of other Taxes of the Transferred Entities for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.
7.4 Tax Proceedings.
(a) Notices. Purchasers shall promptly notify Sellers in writing upon receipt by Purchasers, the Transferred Entities or any of their Affiliates of notice of any Tax Proceeding in respect of the Transferred Entities relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period for which Sellers could be liable for Taxes under Law or this Agreement. Such notification shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Proceeding and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Governmental Entity.
(b) Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Sellers shall have the right, at their expense, to control any Tax Proceeding in respect of the Transferred Entities for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that Sellers shall provide Purchasers with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Proceeding and shall permit Purchasers to participate in the Tax Proceeding at its expense, through counsel or accountants reasonably acceptable to Sellers, and Sellers shall not settle, compromise, or conclude any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the applicable Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned. Purchasers, at Sellers’ expense, may control and contest any Tax Proceeding which Sellers would otherwise have the right to control under this Section 7.4(b) if Sellers (i) decline or fail to contest such Tax Proceeding or (ii) do not substantially comply with
-57-
the provisions of the preceding sentence; provided, however, that if the applicable Purchaser exercises its right to control and contest any Tax Proceeding under the preceding clause, such Purchaser shall (i) provide Sellers with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Proceeding, (ii) not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (iii) consult with Sellers concerning the appropriate strategy for contesting such Tax Proceeding.
(c) Straddle Periods. Purchasers shall control, at their own expense, any Tax Proceeding in respect of the Transferred Entities for any Straddle Period; provided, however, that Purchasers shall provide Sellers with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Proceeding.
7.5 Cooperation on Tax Matters.
(a) Purchasers, the Transferred Entities, and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 7.5 and any Tax Proceeding. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Transferred Entities and Sellers agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Transferred Entities relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchasers or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, the Transferred Entities or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.
(b) Purchasers and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
7.6 Certain Taxes and Fees. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and in particular Section 7.2(a) of this Agreement, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the purchase of the Transferred Interests shall be borne by the Party that bears liability therefor under applicable Law.
7.7 Survival. The representations and warranties in Section 3.12 shall survive the Closing Date until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(a) by mutual written consent of Sellers and Purchasers;
(b) by either Sellers or Purchasers, if:
(i) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before May 8, 2015 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party to this Agreement whose failure or whose Affiliate’s failure to perform any material covenant or obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur on or before such date;
(ii) if the other Party shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, and such breach or failure to perform (A) would
-60-
give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) (in the case of a breach by Sellers) or Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) (in the case of a breach by Purchasers), and (B) cannot be or has not been cured prior to the earlier of (1) the Business Day prior to the Outside Date or (2) the date that is thirty (30) days from the date that Purchasers or Sellers, as applicable, is notified by the other in writing of such breach or failure to perform; or
(iii) if any Prohibitive Order permanently prevents, restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Sale, and such Prohibitive Order becomes effective (and final and nonappealable);
(c) by Sellers if Closing has not occurred by the third (3rd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII excluding the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(e) (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) or by such other time and date as mutually agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.3, provided that such failure to close is not the result of any action or inaction of Sellers; and
(d) by Purchasers if Closing has not occurred by the third (3rd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) or by such other time and date as mutually agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.3, provided that such failure to close is not the result of any action or inaction of Purchasers.
9.2 Notice of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either or both of Sellers and Purchasers pursuant to Section 9.1, written notice of such termination shall be given by the terminating Party to the other Parties to this Agreement.
9.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either or both of Sellers and Purchasers pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall terminate and become void and have no effect, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be abandoned without further action by the Parties to this Agreement, except that the provisions of Section 5.1(a), Section 9.4, Section 11.2 and Section 11.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that such termination shall not relieve any Party to this Agreement of liability for any fraud or willful breach of this Agreement.
9.4 Reverse Termination Fee.
(a) If this Agreement is validly terminated by Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(ii) or Section 9.1(c), then Purchasers shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account designated by Sellers, within two (2) Business Days after the date on which this Agreement is so terminated, the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Reverse Termination Fee”); provided, however, that Purchasers shall not be liable to Sellers for the Reverse Termination Fee solely due to a failure to satisfy the conditions of Section 8.2(e), provided that Purchasers have complied with its obligations under Section 5.12.
-61-
(b) Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.4 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement.

The Parties acknowledge that the Reverse Termination Fee shall not constitute a penalty but rather is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Sellers in the circumstances in which the Reverse Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Sale, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.
(c) Except as set forth in Section 9.4(b), in any circumstance in which Sellers have the right to receive the Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.4(a), Sellers’ termination of this Agreement and receipt of the Reverse Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Sellers and their Affiliates against Purchasers, the financing sources of the Debt Financing and any of their respective, direct or indirect, former, current or future general or limited partners, managers, members, stockholders, officers, directors, Affiliates, employees, representatives, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Related Parties”) for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or the Debt Financing Agreements, and upon such termination by Sellers and receipt of the Reverse Termination Fee, none of the Purchasers, the financing sources of the Debt Financing, or any of their respective Purchaser Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or the Debt Financing Agreements (except that the applicable Purchaser Related Parties of the Purchasers (and not the Purchaser Related Parties of the financing sources of the Debt Financing) shall remain obligated for, and Sellers and their Subsidiaries may be entitled to remedies with respect to, any breach of the Confidentiality Agreement or the provisions of Section 11.3, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise).
ARTICLE X

-62-
10.2 Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the provisions of this Article X, from and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchasers and its Affiliates, each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Purchasers Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses to the extent resulting from or arising out of:
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers contained in Article III of this Agreement as of the Closing Date (or with respect to representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date, as of such date);
(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be performed by Sellers after the Closing; and
(c) the Initial Retention Bonuses.
10.3 Indemnification by Purchasers.

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchasers contained in Article IV of this Agreement as of the Closing Date (or with respect to representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date, as of such date);
(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be performed by Purchasers after the Closing; and
(c) actions taken on behalf of, or at the request of, Purchasers in connection with the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing.
10.4 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the Party or Parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand other than a Tax Proceeding that the Indemnified Party has determined gives or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on it and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same); provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations
-63-
under this Article X except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure, it being agreed that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 10.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a Third Party Claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, other than a Tax Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, to undertake, conduct and control the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party); provided that the Indemnifying Party shall only be entitled to undertake, conduct and control such settlement or defense if it acknowledges, in writing, to the Indemnified Party, its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms and subject to the limitations of this Article X. The Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense through counsel of its own choice, and the reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with such defense shall be considered Losses hereunder with respect to the subject matter of such claim, indemnifiable to the extent provided in this Article X, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the settlement or defense of a Third Party Claim under this Section 10.4(b) unless: (A) the Third Party Claim involves solely monetary damages, (B) the Indemnifying Party demonstrates to the Indemnified Party’s reasonable satisfaction that the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources in order to indemnify for the full amount of such potential Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is reasonably likely to be liable pursuant to this Article X, and (C) the amount of such potential Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is reasonably likely to be liable does not exceed the Cap. If either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party assumes the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall select counsel and shall use commercially reasonable efforts in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim. Purchasers or Sellers, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of their Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, as applicable, in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including by furnishing Books and Records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Indemnified Party; provided that such settlement or judgment shall consist solely of a recovery of monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to this Article X, and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts in such settlement or judgment (other than solely with respect to the Deductible would be applicable in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 10.5) and (ii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of any Indemnified Party affected by such Third Party Claim. Except as set forth in the previous sentence, no Party shall settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
-64-
conditioned or delayed; provided, that is shall not be unreasonable for an Indemnified Party to withhold its consent to any settlement that involves any injunctive relief binding on any of the Indemnified Parties or a finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.4 shall be subject to the provisions of any Contract providing for the defense or prosecution of any Action.
10.5 Limitations.
(a) Sellers shall have no liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) with respect to Losses for which indemnification is provided thereunder, (i) to the extent such Losses were included in the calculation of Working Capital on the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Statement, as finally determined pursuant to Sections 2.4 through 2.7, (ii) to the extent that Purchasers received a benefit from the reflection of such matter in the calculation of the adjustment of the Initial Purchase Price, if any, as finally determined pursuant to Sections 2.4 through 2.7, (iii) that are De Minimis Damages or (iv) unless the aggregate of all Losses (other than De Minimis Damages) exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Deductible”) in which case Sellers shall be liable for all such Losses (other than De Minimis Damages) in excess of the amount of the Deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall have no liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) with respect to Losses of any aggregate amount that exceeds the Cap, it being understood that in the event any Purchasers Indemnified Party seeks indemnification for Losses in excess of the Cap and the Cap subsequently increases to a greater value as a result of the payment of Development Milestone Earn-Out Consideration and/or Commercial Milestone Earn-Out Consideration to APIL, such Purchasers Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek indemnification in accordance with such increased Cap and the terms of this Agreement.
(b) The Deductible and the Cap shall not apply to any Losses arising out of or resulting from (1) the breach of any Fundamental Representation, (2) the breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.12 (Taxes); (3) the breach of any Purchasers Fundamental Representation; (4) the breach of any covenant set forth in this Agreement; or (5) fraud.
(c) Purchasers shall have no liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(a) with respect to Losses for which indemnification is provided thereunder, (i) that are De Minimis Damages or (ii) unless the aggregate of all Losses (other than De Minimis Damages) exceeds the Deductible, in which case Purchasers shall be liable for all such Losses (other than De Minimis Damages) in excess of the amount of the Deductible.
(d) For purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses arising out of or resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of set forth in this Agreement, any reference to “Material Adverse Effect” or “materiality” or other correlative terms in such representations or warranties shall be disregarded.
-65-
(e) Sellers shall not be liable under this Article X for any Losses based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement if Purchasers had knowledge, based solely upon written documentation included in the data room, of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing. For purposes of this Section 10.5(e), Purchasers shall be deemed to have knowledge of all written documentation included in the data room as of the date hereof and included on the disk delivered pursuant to Section 5.21.
10.6 Mitigation; Additional Indemnification Provisions.
(a) Each Indemnified Party shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any claim or liability that an Indemnified Party asserts under this Article X (including by taking reasonable best efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance and indemnity provisions covering any Losses for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder, to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder).
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, Losses shall be calculated after giving effect to amounts actually received under any insurance policy, (net of any costs to recover such amounts and increases in premiums resulting from such claim).
(c) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided shall be adjusted to take into account the amount of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party as a result of the incurrence or payment of any such Losses in the form of a refund or reduction in Taxes otherwise payable within the tax year in which the Losses were incurred or paid, or the next two immediately succeeding tax years, in each case, calculated by comparing Taxes that would have been payable without taking into account any deduction or credit resulting from such Losses and Taxes actually payable by taking into account such deductions or credits (but only after all other items of income, gain, loss and deduction have been taken into account). If the Indemnified Party actually realizes a Tax benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it that was not taken into account at the time the indemnification payment was made, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount that the indemnification payment would have been reduced by if such Tax benefit had been actually realized prior to the time such indemnification payment was made.
(d) No Indemnified Party will, in any event, be entitled to any incidental, indirect, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages, including actual or potential lost profits, diminution in value or measures of damages based on a multiple.
10.7 Liquidated Damages. In the event of the occurrence of an event described on Section 10.7 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter (a “Liquidated Damages Event”), monetary damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to measure. The Parties therefore agree that liquidated damages shall be payable by Sellers to Purchasers in the manner and amount described on Schedule 10.7 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter. Such payments shall begin to be made to Purchasers within sixty (60) days of receipt by Sellers from Purchasers of written notice of the existence of a Liquidated Damages Event, and thereafter shall be made within thirty (30) days of the end of any month in which a Liquidated Damages Event exists. The Parties
-66-
acknowledge and agree that this liquidated damages provision is reasonable and does not constitute a penalty. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Parties further agree that this is the sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses arising from or in connection with the events or circumstances set forth on Section 10.7 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter.
10.8 Exclusive Remedies. Except with respect to the matters covered by Section 2.5, Section 2.6, Section 5.14, Section 10.7, Section 11.10, and, with respect to indemnification for Tax matters, Article VII, Sellers and Purchasers acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Sellers and Purchasers, respectively, for any Losses (whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, Environmental Law (including CERCLA or any similar state law) or otherwise) that each Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with, any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by the other Parties or any failure by the other Parties to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, by such other Parties prior to the Closing.
10.9 Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party (including pursuant to this Agreement) in connection with any claim or demand by any Person other than the Parties hereto or their respective Affiliates, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right, defense or claim relating to such claim or demand against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such claim or demand.

11.7 Assignment.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Party to this Agreement will assign its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of each other Party to this Agreement, except that either Party may assign its benefits under this Agreement to an Affiliate of that Party. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11.7 shall be void.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.7(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, APIL may assign its rights to any third party to (a) receive the Net Sales Earn-Out Consideration, (b) receive the Net Sales Report, (c) audit the records of Purchasers,
-71-
their Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees as described in Section 3.3 of Exhibit E, and (d) make indemnification claims against Purchasers, in connection with any securitization or monetization of the Net Sales Earn-Out Consideration (a “Securitization”), and APIL may disclose Business Confidential Information to a third party in connection with a Securitization to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the third party to evaluate the Securitization opportunity and to allow APIL to exercise its rights under this Section 11.7(b).
11.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person not a party to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, that the rights of the financing sources of the Debt Financing provided in this Section 11.8 and Section 9.4(c), Section 11.9 and Section 11.14 shall be enforceable by the financing sources of the Debt Financing, their Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns.
11.9 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such modification or amendment is sought. Each Party to this Agreement may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by the other Parties to this Agreement with any term or provision of this Agreement on the part of such other Parties to this Agreement to be performed or complied with. The waiver by any Party to this Agreement of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or waiver of this sentence of Section 11.9 or Section 9.4(c), Section 11.8 or Section 11.14 shall require the prior written consent of Orbimed Royalty Opportunities II, LP, but only to the extent that such Sections relate to the financing sources of the Debt Financing, their Affiliates or their respective successors or assigns.
11.10 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches by the Parties of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled in law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any of the other Parties has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any Party against whom an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement is sought hereby waives any requirement for the Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction. The foregoing is in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law, in equity or otherwise. The Parties further agree that nothing set forth in this Section 11.10 shall require any Party hereto to institute any Action for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any Action for) specific performance under this Section 11.10 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article IX (and pursuing damages after such termination). The Parties
-72-
hereto agree that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall be entitled to specific performance (or any other equitable relief) to cause Purchasers to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including to draw down the Debt Financing under the Debt Financing Agreements (including any bridge financing or “flex” provisions thereunder) or Alternative Financing commitments obtained under Section 5.12, and to effect the Closing on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, if, and only if: (i) all conditions in Section 8.1, Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 have been satisfied as of the date on which the Closing would otherwise be required to occur (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing (provided such conditions would reasonably be expected to have been satisfied as of such date)), (ii) Purchasers fail to complete the Closing by the date the Closing would otherwise be required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3, (iii) the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing in accordance with Section 5.12) has been funded or will be available to be funded to Purchasers at the Closing, and (iv) the Closing would reasonably be expected to occur substantially simultaneously with the draw down of Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing in accordance with Section 5.12)).
11.11 Interpretation; Absence of Presumption.
(a) It is understood and agreed that the specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Sellers Disclosure Letter is not intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or such items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of any amount or the fact of the inclusion of any item in the Sellers Disclosure Letter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described in this Agreement or included in the Sellers Disclosure Letter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.
(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, (i) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (ii) references to the terms Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule are references to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto,” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto; (iv) references to “$” or cash shall mean U.S. dollars; (v) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (vi) the word “or” shall not be exclusive; (vii) references to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form; (viii) provisions shall apply, when appropriate, to successive events and transactions; (ix) Sellers and Purchasers have each participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions in this Agreement; (x) a reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and permitted assigns; (xi) any reference to “days” shall mean calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified; and (xii) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end at the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day.
(c) If the Closing shall occur, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment obligation of Purchasers hereunder shall be a joint and several obligation of Purchasers and the Transferred Entities.
-73-
11.12 Headings; Definitions. The Section and Article headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
11.13 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 or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement (or portions thereof) shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party hereto. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) shall be held to be so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. Upon a determination that any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is invalid, void or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
11.14 No Recourse to Debt Financing Sources. Subject to the rights of the parties to the Debt Financing Agreements under the terms thereof, none of the Parties hereto, nor any of their respective, direct or indirect, former, current or future general or limited partners, managers, members, stockholders, officers, directors, Affiliates, employees, representatives, agents, successors or assigns (collectively, the “Related Persons”), shall have any rights or claims against the financing sources of the Debt Financing or any of their Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, nor shall any of the financing sources of the Debt Financing or any of their Affiliates have any obligations or liabilities to the Parties hereto or their respective Related Persons, all of which are hereby waived (provided that nothing in this Section 11.14 shall in any way limit or modify any of the obligations owed under the Debt Financing Agreements by the financing sources of the Debt Financing to the Purchasers and their Affiliates), and the financing sources of the Debt Financing and their Affiliates and their respective Related Persons shall not have any rights or claims against any Party hereto or any Related Person thereof, in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise

At a minimum, such report shall include with respect to the commercialized Earn Out Products marketing and sales efforts, forecasted sales, pricing changes, anticipated date of achievement of the Commercial Milestones, and any other similar information relating to commercialization activities for the Earn-Out Products. Purchaser shall cause its senior officers from business operations to be reasonably available to APIL to answer questions related to the matters required to be discussed in each report.
3.3 Audit. Purchaser shall maintain, and shall cause its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees to maintain, complete and accurate books and records in sufficient detail to permit APIL, at its expense, to confirm the achievement of Development Milestones and Commercial Milestones, and the calculation of Earn-Out Consideration payable under this Agreement and this Exhibit E. Upon reasonable prior notice,
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
such books and records shall be open during regular business hours for a period of three (3) years from the creation of individual books and records for examination, by an independent certified public accountant selected by APIL and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser for the sole purpose of verifying for APIL the accuracy of the financial statements, reports and notices furnished by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and this Exhibit E, and of any payments made, or required to be made, by Purchaser to APIL pursuant to this Agreement and this Exhibit E. Any amounts shown to be owed to APIL but unpaid shall be paid by Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 2.3 of this Exhibit E) from the original due date. If Purchaser is found to have underpaid amounts owed to APIL by five percent (5%) or more, then Purchaser shall also pay for the conduct of the audit. In the event that Purchaser has overpaid APIL, at APIL’s option, Purchaser shall either credit the amount of any such overpayment to amounts subsequently due by Purchaser to APIL under this Exhibit E or APIL shall reimburse Purchaser the amount of any such overpayment.
ARTICLE 4 | Reversion. |
4.1 Determination of Reversion Event.
(a) A “Reversion Event” shall exist in the event that Purchaser, itself or through one or more of its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees, (i) fails to satisfy the NDA Requirement, or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of APIL, fails to comply with its Commercially Reasonable Efforts requirements under Section 3.1 of this Exhibit E; provided that, any such failure is not attributable to the material breach by APIL or any of its Affiliates of any of the Ancillary Agreements, which material breach was noticed by Purchaser prior to its receipt of a Reversion Notice from APIL under this Section 4.1.
(A) In the event the failure to satisfy the NDA Requirement is the result of a change in the FDA’s policies or procedures regarding the approval of the Earn-Out Product or drugs in the same class as the Earn-Out Product, and Purchaser, its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees have used Commercially Reasonable Efforts to accommodate such change and were still unable to satisfy the NDA Requirement, then the deadline shall be extended for a reasonable period of time, but not more than three-hundred sixty-five (365) calendar days or such longer period of time as determined by APIL in good faith based on the impact of such change in the FDA’s policies or procedures on their ability to accommodate such change in policies or procedures. (B) In the event the failure to satisfy the NDA Requirement is the result of other delays or circumstances that are outside of the reasonable control of Purchaser or its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees, and Purchaser, its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees have used Commercially Reasonable Efforts consistent with Section 3.1 of this Exhibit E to overcome such delay or circumstance, then APIL will reasonably consider extending the deadline for a reasonable period of time, but not more than three-hundred sixty-five (365) days, to overcome such failure. In each case of (A) or (B), the compliance with such new deadline shall remain an obligation of Purchaser, its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees subject to their diligence efforts under Section 3.1 of this Exhibit E and APIL’s rights under this Section 4.1(a).
(b) Upon a Reversion Event, APIL shall provide Purchaser with written notice of such Reversion Event (a “Reversion Notice”). If Purchaser disagrees with APIL regarding the existence of a Reversion Event, it shall notify APIL within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a Reversion Notice of its disagreement (such period, the “Challenge Period,” and such notice, a “Disagreement Notice”). For a period of thirty (30) Business Days following the delivery of such Disagreement Notice, Purchaser and APIL shall seek in good faith to come to an agreement on the existence of the Reversion Event. If at the end of such thirty (30) Business Day period the Purchaser and APIL have not reached an agreement, they shall jointly select an independent mediator, free of any conflict with either Party, having the requisite licensing and pharmaceutical industry experience to render a decision regarding the existence of a Reversion Event, and selected from a panel of persons experienced in the pharmaceutical and life sciences
industries provided by Judicial Administration and Arbitration Services or its successor (“JAMS”). If the Parties do not agree on an independent mediator within five (5) Business Days of initiating mediation under this Section 4.1(b), the independent mediator shall be selected by JAMS in accordance with its rules. Each Party shall prepare and submit a written summary of such Party’s position, which shall not exceed twenty-five (25) pages, and any relevant evidence in support thereof to the independent mediator within ten (10) Business Days of the selection of the independent mediator. Upon receipt of such summaries from both Parties, the independent mediator shall provide copies of the same to the other Party. The independent mediator shall be authorized to solicit briefing or other submissions on particular questions and to set specific page limits for such additional briefing and submissions. Within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such summaries by the independent mediator, each Party shall submit a written rebuttal of the other Party’s summary and may also amend and re-submit its original summary, with each Party’s response to include a supporting explanation of why its proposed terms are more appropriate than the other Party’s proposed terms and any documentary evidence in support thereof. Oral presentations shall not be permitted unless otherwise requested by the independent mediator. Only if so permitted, a neutral location of any such oral presentations shall be selected by the independent mediator. The independent mediator shall make a final decision with respect to the arbitration matter within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the last of such rebuttal statements submitted by the Parties, and shall make a determination by selecting the resolution proposed by one of the Parties that as a whole is the most fair and reasonable to the Parties in light of the totality of the circumstances, and shall provide the Parties with a written statement setting forth the basis of the determination in connection therewith. For clarity, the independent mediator shall only have the right to select a resolution proposed by one of the Parties in its entirety and without modification. The decision of the independent mediator shall be controlling regarding the existence of a Reversion Event. The Purchaser and APIL shall bear the costs of the independent mediator equally.
(c) If the existence of a Reversion Event, other than one that involves a failure to satisfy the NDA Requirement, is confirmed, through (i) Purchaser’s non-delivery of a Notice of Disagreement or (ii) through the determination of an independent mediator, Purchaser, itself or through one or more of its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees shall have the right to cure such Reversion Event for a period of four (4) months from the determination of such Reversion Event (such period, the “Cure Period”) and, if it elects to exercise such right, shall notify APIL in writing of the same. In the case that such Reversion Event is cured in APIL’s reasonable judgment during or by the end of the Cure Period, such Reversion Event shall no longer exist and APIL shall not have the right to invoke any other rights under this Article 4 in connection with such event that would have remained a Reversion Event but for such cure.
(d) For purposes of this Article 4, the “Reversion Date” shall be (i) the date on which the Challenge Period expires without Purchaser having sent a Disagreement Notice to APIL, unless the Reversion Event at issue qualifies for a right to cure pursuant to Section 4.1(c) of this Exhibit E and Purchaser has elected to exercise such right to cure in which case clause (d)(iii) below shall apply, (ii) where the Reversion Event involves a failure to satisfy the NDA Requirement and Purchaser has sent a Disagreement Notice in connection therewith, the date on which the Parties agree, or the independent mediator issues its determination, that such Reversion Event has occurred, or (iii) where the Reversion Event does not involve a failure to satisfy the NDA Requirement, and Purchaser has elected its right to cure pursuant to Section 4.1(c) of this Exhibit E, the date on which the Cure Period expires without Purchaser having cured such Reversion Event to APIL’s reasonable satisfaction.
4.2 Events Upon Determination of a Reversion Event.
(a) On the Reversion Date, all licenses and other rights of Purchaser and its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees under the Intellectual Property Transfer and License Agreement
and, subsequently, the IP License Agreement (i) with respect to the Nanotechnology IP shall automatically terminate in their entirety, and (ii) with respect to the OCR IP shall automatically terminate solely in regards to the Earn-Out Products.

(g) To the extent that any payments would be owed by Purchaser to any Third Party under any agreement with such Third Party that is applicable to the exercise by APIL of any (sub)license, right of reference or other right provided in this Section 4.1, Purchaser shall notify APIL of the existence and anticipated amounts of such payments and APIL shall have the right either to decline such (sub)license, right of reference or other right provided in this Section 4.1 or to take the same, in which case APIL agrees to comply with any obligations under such agreement of Purchaser that apply to APIL and of which APIL was informed by Purchaser and to make such payments.
(h) Promptly following the Reversion Date and as requested by APIL, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees to, (i) wind up the performance of any clinical trials for Earn-Out Products ongoing as of the Reversion Date, or (ii) transfer and assign to APIL, to the extent assignable by Purchaser in accordance with applicable Law, the management and continued performance of any clinical trials for Earn-Out Products ongoing as of the Reversion Date (provided that if the management and continued performance thereof is not assignable, then at the request of APIL, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees to, continue to manage and perform such clinical trial(s) for a limited time period at the direction of APIL) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost of which that is incurred after the Reversion Date shall be borne by APIL.
(i) Promptly following the Reversion Date and as requested by APIL, Purchaser shall assign to APIL any agreements with third party suppliers covering the supply or sale of the Earn-Out Products, or, if such agreements cover other products or do not permit assignment under their terms, then,
to enable APIL to qualify an alternate, validated source of supply, Purchaser shall supply finished Earn-Out Products for a reasonable period (not to exceed six (6) months) and at a cost equal to the cost of goods for any such Earn-Out Product calculated in accordance with industry standards (including overhead) plus [***].
(j) As of the Reversion Date, if Purchaser or any of its and its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees have any inventory of Earn-Out Product, or any components thereof, suitable for use in clinical trials or for commercialization (“Reversion Material”), Purchaser and its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees shall offer in writing to sell the Reversion Material to APIL at Purchaser’s or the applicable Affiliate’s, licensee’s or sublicensee’s fully-allocated cost of manufacturing, and APIL shall have the option (but no obligation) to purchase the same by responding in writing to such offer within thirty (30) days. If APIL does not exercise such option, Purchaser and its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees shall be entitled to sell any such Reversion Material, subject to any Earn-Out Consideration applicable to such sale pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Exhibit E.

4.4 Without limiting the generality of this Article 4, following the assignment and transfer under Section 4.2(c), (a) Purchaser shall have no right to use any of the Assigned Reversion IP Assets; (b) APIL shall have at its expense the sole and exclusive right to prosecute, maintain, defend and enforce all Assigned Reversion Patents assigned to APIL pursuant to such Section 4.2(c), and for purposes of all those activities, (i) APIL shall be treated as the owner of such Assigned Reversion Patents, and shall be solely responsible for the costs associated with such activities and shall have the sole right to retain any and all recoveries resulting from such activities, and (ii) to the extent required by applicable Law, at the cost of APIL, Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees to, join any suit or proceeding regarding any such Assigned Reversion Patents, or designate APIL (or an Affiliate thereof) as such party’s authorized agent for such Assigned Reversion Patents.

EXERCISE
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on any day on or prior to the Expiration Date, by delivering the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the net exercise right set forth in Article 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check, wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Article 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Article 1.3. The Company acknowledges that the provisions of this
1 | NTD: to equal two times the closing price of Recro stock on the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date. |
2 | NTD: to insert Closing Date. |
Article 1.2 are intended, in part, to ensure that a full or partial exchange of this Warrant pursuant to this Article 1.2 will qualify as a conversion, within the meaning of paragraph (d)(3)(ii) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. At the request of Holder, the Company will accept reasonable modifications to the exchange procedures provided for in this Article in order to accomplish such intent. For all purposes of this Warrant (other than this Article 1.2), any reference herein to the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to include a reference to the exchange of this Warrant into Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article 1.2.
1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Company’s common stock is traded in a public market, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price of a share of common stock reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Company’s common stock is not traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value of a Share (the “Appraised Value”) in its reasonable good faith judgment. If Holder (as defined below) shall, for any reason whatsoever, disagree with such Appraised Value, then such Holder shall, by giving written notice to the Company (an “Appraisal Notice”) within ten (10) days after the Company notifies the Holder of such determination, elect to dispute such determination, and such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in Article 1.3.1 below.
1.3.1 Appraisal Resolution. The Company shall within ten (10) days after an Appraisal Notice shall have been given, engage an independent investment bank of national repute (the “Appraiser”) that is mutually agreeable to the Company and Holder and retained pursuant to an engagement letter between the Company and the Appraiser with respect to such valuation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Holder, to make an independent determination of the Appraised Value of a Share. The costs of engagement of such investment bank for any such determination of Appraised Value shall be shared equally between the Company and Holder and Holder shall promptly reimburse the Company for fifty percent (50%) of such costs.
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant and, if applicable, the Company receives payment of the aggregate Warrant Price, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.
1.5 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.6 Treatment of Warrant upon Corporate Reorganization.
1.6.1 Corporate Reorganization.
(a) Without limiting any of the provisions hereof, if any: (i) capital reorganization; (ii) reclassification of the capital stock of the Company; (iii) merger, consolidation or reorganization or other similar transaction or series of related transactions which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto representing immediately thereafter (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity) less than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company or such surviving or acquiring entity outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; (iv) sale, lease, license, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (v) sale of shares of capital stock of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, representing at least 50% of the voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company; or (vi) the acquisition by any “person” (together with his, her or its Affiliates) or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) directly or indirectly, of the beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of outstanding shares of capital stock and/or other equity securities of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, one or more tender offers or exchange offers), representing at least 50% of the voting power of or economic interests in the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation (each of (i)-(vi) above a “Corporate Reorganization”) shall be effected, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Holder shall thereafter continue to have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Holder, shares of stock in the surviving or acquiring entity (“Acquirer”), as the case may be, such that the aggregate value of the Holder’s warrants to purchase such number of shares, where the value of each new warrant to purchase one share in the Acquirer is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix 2 hereto, is at least equivalent to the aggregate value of the Warrants held by such Holder immediately prior to such Corporate Reorganization, where the value of each Warrant to purchase one share in the Company is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth Appendix 3 hereto. Furthermore, the new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer referred to herein shall have the same expiration date as the Warrant, and shall have a strike price, KAcq, that is calculated in accordance with Appendix 2 hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, if the surviving or acquiring entity, as the case may be, is a member of a consolidated group for financial reporting purposes, the “Acquirer” shall be deemed to be the parent of such consolidated group for purposes of this Article 1.6 and Appendix 2 hereto.
(b) Appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that prior to
3
or simultaneously with the consummation of a Corporate Reorganization, the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume by written instrument, reasonably deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company and Holder to be satisfactory in form and substance, the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrants, at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under these Warrants. The provisions of this Article 1.6 shall similarly apply to successive Corporate Reorganizations. If the Company, in spite of using its commercially reasonable best efforts, is unable to cause these Warrants to continue in full force and effect until the Expiration Date in connection with any Corporate Reorganization, then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Holder, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of any such Corporate Reorganization, an amount per Warrant to purchase one share in the Company that is calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix 3 hereto. Such payment shall be made in cash in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving cash from the Acquirer at the closing of the transaction, and shall be made in shares of the Company (with the value of each share in the Company is determined according to SCorp Appendix 3 hereto) in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving shares in the Acquirer or other entity at the closing of the transaction, in the event that the shareholders of the Company receive both cash and shares at the closing of the transaction, such payment to Holder shall be also be made in both cash and shares in the same proportion as the consideration received by the shareholders.
ARTICLE 2
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in common stock or other securities, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to the Holder a certificate pursuant to Article 2.6 below setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such stock dividend, subdivision, combination or consolidation by reclassification or otherwise or other event that results in a change to the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant. The provisions of this Article 2.1 shall similarly apply to successive stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations or other events.
4
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include, without limitation, any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a certificate pursuant to Article 2.6 below setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant. The provisions of this Article 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.
2.3 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or bylaws or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment.
2.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
2.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, the Company shall promptly notify Holder in writing, and, at the Company’s expense, promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares.
2.6 Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Article 2, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all Shares which the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrant.

Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant for its own account, for investment and not for, with a view to, or in connection with, any sale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, and Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant except as permitted by the Securities Act and any state securities law.
6
4.2 Unregistered Securities; Legend. Holder understands that the Warrants and the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law, by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such laws, that the Warrants and the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and such laws or a subsequent disposition thereof is exempt from registration, that the Warrants and the Shares shall bear a legend to such effect, and that appropriate stop transfer instructions may be issued. Holder further understands that such exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Holder’s investment intent expressed herein.
4.3 Status of the Holder. Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Warrants or the Shares. Holder understands the term “accredited investor” as used in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and represents and warrants to the Company that Holder is an “accredited investor” for purposes of acquiring the Warrants and the Shares. If Holder is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), Holder has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with this Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for issuance of this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise. Holder’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Warrant and Shares issuable upon exercise will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction.
4.4 Knowledge and Experience; Economic Risk. Holder has sufficient knowledge and experience in business and financial matters and with respect to investment in securities of privately held companies so as to enable it to analyze and evaluate the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby and is capable of protecting its interest in connection with this transaction. Holder is able to bear the economic risk of such investment, including a complete loss of the investment.
4.5 Access to Information. Holder acknowledges that Holder and its representatives have had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from officers and representatives of the Company concerning the Company and its business and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to obtain any additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire that is necessary to verify the accuracy of the information regarding the Company herein set forth or otherwise desired in connection with its purchase of the Warrants and the Shares.
4.6 Rule 144. Holder understands that the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to such Investor) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act depends upon the satisfaction of various conditions, and that such exemption is not currently available.

APPENDIX 2
Black Scholes Option Pricing formula to be used when calculating the value of each new warrant to purchase one share in the Acquirer shall be:
CAcq = value of each warrant to purchase one share in the Acquirer.
SAcq = price of Acquirer’s stock as determined by reference to the average of the closing prices on the securities exchange over the 20-day period ending three trading days prior to the closing of the Corporate Reorganization described in Article 1.6.1 if the Acquirer’s stock is then traded on such exchange or system, or the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) in the over-the-counter market over the 20-day period ending three trading days prior to the closing of the Corporate Reorganization if the Acquirer’s stock is then actively traded in the over-the-counter market, or the then most recently completed financing if the Acquirer’s stock is not then traded on a securities exchange or system or in the over-the-counter market.
TAcq = expiration date of new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer = TCorp.
tAcq = date of issue of new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer.
TAcq-tAcq = time until warrant expiration, expressed in years.
s = volatility = annualized standard deviation of daily log-returns (using a 262-day annualization factor) of the Acquirer’s stock price on the securities exchange over a 20-day trading period, determined by Holder, that is within the 100-day trading period ending on the trading day immediately after the public announcement of the Corporate Reorganization described in Article 1.6.1 if the Acquirer’s stock is then traded on such exchange or system, or the annualized standard deviation of daily-log returns (using a 262-day annualization factor) of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) in the over-the-counter market over a 20-day trading period, determined by the Holder, that is within the 100-day trading period ending on the trading day immediately after the public announcement of the Corporate Reorganization if the Acquirer’s stock is then actively traded in the over-the-counter market, or 0.6 (or 60%) if the Acquirer’s stock is not then traded on a securities exchange or system or in the over-the-counter market.
N = cumulative normal distribution function.
d1 = (ln(SAcq/KAcq) + (r- + l +s2/2)(TAcq-tAcq )) ÷ (sÖ(TAcq-tAcq)).
In = natural logarithm.
l - dividend rate of the Acquirer for the most recent 12-month period at the time of closing of the Corporate Reorganization.
KAcq = strike price of new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer = KCorp* (SAcq/ SCorp).
Appendix 2 - 1
r = annual yield, as reported by Bloomberg at time tAcq, of the United States Treasury security measuring the nearest time TAcq.
d2= d1- s Ö(TAcq-tAcq).

TCorp = expiration date of Warrants to purchase shares in the Company.
tCorp - date of public announcement of transaction.
TCorp-tCorp - time until Warrant expiration, expressed in years.
s = volatility ~ the annualized standard deviation of daily log-returns (using a 262-day annualization factor) of the Company’s stock price on the securities exchange over a 20-day trading period, determined by Holder, that is within the 100-day trading period ending on the trading day immediately after the public announcement of the Corporate Reorganization described in Article 5(d) if the Company’s stock is then traded on such exchange or system, or the annualized standard deviation of daily-log returns (using a 262-day annualization factor) of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) in the over-the-counter market over a 20-day trading period, determined by the Holder, that is within the 100-day trading period ending on the trading day immediately after the public announcement of the Corporate Reorganization if the Company’s stock is then actively traded in the over-the-counter market, or 0.6 (or 60%) if the Company’s stock is not then traded on a securities exchange or system or in the over-the-counter market.
