(a) Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Seller shall sell, transfer, assign and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, free and clear of all Adverse Claims (other than Permitted Adverse Claims or Adverse Claims arising through Purchaser), all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Receivables. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Purchased Receivables are in addition to the Original Purchased Receivables.

(b) Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the Purchased Receivables shall be payable by Purchaser to Seller as follows:

(i) Closing Payment. A payment of $4,500,000 (the “Closing Payment”) for the Purchased Receivables shall be payable by Purchaser to Seller on the Closing Date.

(ii) First Additional Payment. An additional payment of $250,000 (together with the additional payment described in Section 2.1(b)(iii) below, individually and collectively referred to herein as an “Additional Payment”) for the Purchased Receivables shall be payable to Seller after receipt by the Purchaser of the Final 2016 Royalty Report in the event the First Additional Payment Condition is met. If the First Additional Payment Condition is not met, no Additional Payment shall be due or payable in connection with the 2016 Royalty Year. Such Additional Payment, if due, shall be paid to Seller within 30 days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Final 2016 Royalty Report.

(iii) Second Additional Payment. An additional payment of $250,000 for the Purchased Receivables shall be payable to Seller after receipt by the Purchaser of the Final 2017 Royalty Report in the event the Second Additional Payment Condition is met. If the Second Additional Payment Condition is not met, no Additional Payment shall be due or payable in connection with the 2017 Royalty Year. Such Additional Payment, if due, shall be paid to Seller within 30 days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Final 2017 Royalty Report.

(c) Excess Annual Royalty Payments. After the Royalty Sharing Threshold Date, Purchaser shall remit to Seller an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of any Excess Annual Royalty Payments received by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Sharing Payment”) during any Royalty Year. Any such Sharing Payments shall be paid to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account set forth in Exhibit A within five (5) Business Days of actual receipt of any Excess Annual Royalty Payments by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.2. No Purchase or Sale of Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall retain all of its right, title and interest in and to, and there shall be excluded from the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance to Purchaser under this Agreement, all Receivables and rights under the Product Agreements other than the Purchased Receivables.

Section 2.3. No Obligations Transferred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance to Purchaser of the Purchased Receivables pursuant to this Agreement shall not in any way subject Purchaser to, or transfer, affect or modify, any obligation or liability of Seller under any Product Agreement and (b) Purchaser expressly does not assume or agree to become responsible for any obligation or liability of Seller under any Product Agreement or otherwise.

Section 2.4 Sale. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Purchased Receivables from Seller to Purchaser and not a financing transaction, borrowing or loan; and accordingly, Seller and Purchaser will treat the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Purchased Receivables as sales of “accounts” in accordance with the UCC for accounting purposes, and Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser or its designee, from and after the Closing Date, to execute, record and file such financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) naming Seller as the seller/debtor and Purchaser as the purchaser/secured party of the Purchased Receivables as may be necessary to perfect such sale. If, notwithstanding the intent of the Parties hereto in this regard, the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance contemplated hereby is held not to be a sale, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement and Seller does hereby grant to Purchaser a security interest in and to the Purchased Receivables, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located, and any proceeds (as such term is defined in the UCC), to secure payment to Purchaser of amounts equal to the Purchased Receivables as they are paid under the Product Agreements, and Seller does hereby authorize Purchaser to file such financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) as may be necessary to perfect its security interest. Seller waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to contest or otherwise assert that this Agreement is other than a true, complete, absolute and irrevocable sale by Seller to Purchaser of the Purchased Receivables under applicable Law, which waiver shall be enforceable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, against Seller in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding relating to Seller. The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Purchased Receivables shall be reflected on Seller’s financial statements and other records as a sale of assets to Purchaser. Seller agrees that in any consolidated financial statements of Seller it shall indicate that the Purchased Receivables are the assets of Purchaser.

Section 2.5. Nonassignable Assets. Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any asset included in the Purchased Receivables, including any Contract, approval, authorization or other right, which by its terms or by Law is nonassignable without the consent of a third party or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until such consent shall have been obtained or to the extent any such assignment restriction is removed or expires by its term. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in endeavoring to obtain such consents promptly. In the event consents to the assignment thereof cannot be obtained, such Nonassignable Assets shall be held, as of and from the Closing Date until the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 7.8, by Seller in trust for Purchaser and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by Seller in Purchaser’s name and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for Purchaser’s account.

Seller shall, or shall cause the applicable Counterparty to, diligently administer the prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of all Product Related IP owned or licensed by Seller (including any Outstanding Litigation), in accordance with and subject to the Product Agreements, as applicable, and in consultation with the applicable Counterparty (to the extent required or deemed appropriate by Seller) and Purchaser.

(b) Costs. All costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Seller in connection with the prosecution, maintenance, defense or enforcement of the Product Related IP (including any Outstanding Litigation) shall, to the extent not reimbursed to Seller by a Counterparty pursuant to the applicable Product Agreement, be borne by Seller.

(c) Allocation of Proceeds. The Pro Rata Portion of Proceeds (if any) of any enforcement or defense of the Product Related IP, after Seller shall have recovered all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Seller in connection therewith, shall belong to Purchaser. In the event the Proceeds include payment in respect of the Purchased Receivables and any other amounts, the parties agree to allocate the Proceeds between Purchaser and Seller in the proportion following the nature of the Proceeds and the rights under this Agreement.

(d) Monitoring. Purchaser shall have the right to retain, at its sole expense, outside counsel, who shall be permitted (together with Purchaser), where and when reasonably practical, to consult with Seller and its counsel regarding the prosecution, maintenance, enforcement and defense of the Product Related IP (including the Outstanding Litigation) and any actions taken or proposed to be taken by Seller in respect thereof. Seller and its counsel shall (i) give reasonable consideration to the views of Purchaser and their counsel with respect to the subject matter of this Section 6.13(d) and (ii) provide Purchaser with such information with respect to the subject matter of this Section 6.13(d) as Purchaser may, from time to time, reasonably request.

Section 6.14. Additional License Agreements.

(a) Consultation. Seller shall provide Purchaser a copy of any proposed Additional License Agreement as soon as practicable and in any event not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date Seller proposes to execute such Additional License Agreement. Seller agrees to consult with Purchaser regarding any such proposed agreements and Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, execute or agree to execute any proposed Additional License Agreement. Promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, following receipt by Seller of a fully executed Additional License Agreement, Seller shall furnish a copy of such agreement to Purchaser.

(b) Payment Direction. Any Additional License Agreement, or consent and notice letter shall executed in connection therewith among the applicable Counterparty, Seller and Purchaser, shall contain payment instructions for the payment of the Purchased Receivables to Purchaser.

(c) Replacement. In the event of the termination of the Depomed Agreements, Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into Product Agreements with suitable replacement Counterparties as soon as practicable. In the event Seller is unable or unwilling to secure one or more replacement Product Agreements within one hundred twenty (120) days of any such termination, Seller agrees that Purchaser shall have the right to negotiate a replacement agreement and grant a license to the Product Related IP on substantially the same terms to those in the Depomed Agreements provided that Purchaser shall not be entitled to grant any license or bind the Seller in any way beyond the Threshold Date without the Seller’s express consent which may be withheld or denied in the Seller’s sole discretion.

In the event that Seller and/or its Affiliate engage in any such direct sale, marketing or transfer of the Product in the Territory, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to amend this Agreement accordingly.

Section 6.15. Joint Account.

Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver an “Amended Payment Instruction Letter” (as defined in that certain letter agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Seller, Purchaser and Depomed) to Depomed on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, Seller agrees to transfer to Purchaser (within three (3) Business Days of receipt thereof) by wire transfer in United States dollars to the deposit account set forth in Exhibit B hereto, any and all amounts received by Seller that represent the Purchased Receivables. Seller and Purchaser shall share at fifty percent/fifty percent (50%/50%) respectively the costs and expenses of the Joint Account (including the costs and expenses to be paid under the Original Purchase Agreement).

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1. Obligation of Parties to Indemnify.

(a) Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any third party action, suit or proceeding) and damages (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by any of them, to the extent arising or resulting from any of the following:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document delivered to Purchaser in connection herewith;

(ii) any breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document delivered to Purchaser in connection herewith; and

(iii) any obligations of Seller in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof.

(b) Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, Purchaser shall indemnify Seller, its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) against any and all Losses incurred by any of them, to the extent arising or resulting from any of the following:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document delivered to Seller in connection herewith; and

(ii) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document delivered to Seller in connection herewith.

Section 7.2. Procedures Relating to Indemnification for Third Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Third Party Claim. In order for a party (an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification under this Article VII in respect of Losses arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person other than Purchaser or Seller against a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party must notify the party from whom indemnification is sought under this Article VII (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly in writing (including in such notice a brief description of the Third Party Claim, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known or reasonably capable of estimation by the Indemnified Party); provided, however, that the failure to promptly provide such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) Defense of Third Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, at its own expense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (so long as such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party) if: (i) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any indemnifiable Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim; (ii) such Third Party Claim involves (and continues to involve) solely monetary damages which are not reasonably likely to exceed the applicable amount in Section 7.4(a) or (b), as applicable; (iii) such Third Party Claim does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal action; (iv) the Indemnifying Party makes reasonably adequate provision to satisfy the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend, satisfy and discharge such Third-Party Claim; (v) no defense exists for the Indemnified Party which is not available to the Indemnifying Party; and (vi) if the named parties to such Third Party Claim (including impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would not be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (as determined by the Indemnified Party in its reasonable discretion) (collectively, the “Defense Conditions”). If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within five (5) Business Days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party believes the Indemnifying Party has failed to take such steps, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has not undertaken fully to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of all indemnifiable Losses relating to the matter, or (iii) if any of the Defense Conditions cease to be satisfied for any reason, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, if settled with such consent, or if there is a final judgment against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In the event the Indemnifying Party has assumed control of the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such action or suit through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party in the defense of a Third Party Claim for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnified Party shall have notified the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim).

(c) Cooperation. The parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention of and the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and (ii) the making available of employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability (if any) in connection with such Third Party Claim and which (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party, (ii) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Third Party Claim and (iii) does not provide for injunctive relief or other relief relating to such Indemnified Party other than monetary damages.

Section 7.3. Procedures Relating to Indemnification for Other Claims. In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification under this Article VII in respect of Losses that do not arise out of or involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party promptly in writing (including in such notice a brief description of the claim for indemnification and the Loss, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known or reasonably capable of estimation by the Indemnified Party); provided, however, that the failure to promptly provide such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

Section 7.4. Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Seller. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not have any liability under any clause of Section 7.1(a) (i) in excess of an amount, as of any date of determination, equal to the Indemnification Cap minus the Total Net Amount or (ii) to the extent any Losses were suffered or incurred by Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of such Purchaser Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.

(b) Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no liability under any clause of Section 7.1(b) (i) in excess of an amount, as of any date of determination, equal to the Indemnification Cap minus the amount of the Purchase Price actually paid by Purchaser to Seller plus any unpaid Sharing Payment due and owing by Purchaser to Seller as of such date of determination or (ii) to the extent any Losses were suffered or incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party as a result of such Seller Indemnified Party’s gross negligence willful misconduct or fraud.

Section 7.5. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date solely for purposes of this Article VII and shall terminate on the date that is ninety (90) days following the Threshold Date. No party hereto shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation or warranty after the termination thereof, unless the other party hereto shall have delivered a notice to such party, pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3, claiming such a liability or obligation under Section 7.1, prior to such date of termination.

Section 7.6. Exclusive Remedy. Other than for claims for equitable relief or as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing Date, this Article VII (including Section 7.4 and Section 7.5) shall provide such parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any matter or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except that any such claim or matter based upon fraud, willful misrepresentation or willful misconduct shall not be subject to or limited by this Article VII and each of Purchaser and Seller accordingly preserves all remedies available with respect to any such claim or matter based thereon under applicable Law.

Section 7.7. Limitations on Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall either party hereto be liable for any consequential, exemplary or punitive damages unless such damages are payable to a third party in connection with a Third Party Claim or are based upon fraud, willful misrepresentation or willful misconduct.

Section 7.8. Termination.

(a) Ordinary Termination. The parties agree that this Agreement, including all rights granted by Seller to Purchaser hereunder and including the power of attorney granted hereunder, shall automatically terminate on the Threshold Date without the need of any Notice of termination. Upon such termination, (i) all ownership interests or other Adverse Claims arising through Purchaser in the Purchased Receivables and any other property in respect of which an ownership interest or Adverse Claim was granted by Seller, or otherwise arose, in favor of Purchaser pursuant to the Transaction Documents, shall be automatically, and without the need for any further action, terminated and released, (ii) Purchaser shall, at its own sole cost and expense, deliver and, where applicable, execute and endorse such agreements, documents and instruments evidencing or effecting the release of the security interests, liens and other Adverse Claims in the Purchased Receivables and any other property in respect of which an Adverse Claim was granted by Seller, or otherwise arose, in favor of Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Documents as may be reasonably requested and prepared from time to time by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and (iii) Seller may amend, terminate or otherwise modify any financing statements filed against Seller without the consent of Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, Sections 7.5, 6.2, 6.10, 6.12 and Article VIII shall survive any such termination of this Agreement.

(b) Extraordinary Termination by Seller.
