CONSIDERATION

Section 3.1 Down Payment. The Parties acknowledge that Purchaser has paid $200,000 via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by XxXxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for Seller, in trust, as a down payment (the “Down Payment”) to be held pending execution and delivery of this Agreement by both Parties. On execution and delivery of this Agreement by both Parties, Seller shall terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 9, 2010 between MHT, LLC (“MHT”) and Seller (the “MHT Agreement”) pursuant to Section 9.1(g) of the MHT Agreement, and XxXxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP shall pay the Down Payment by trust cheque, bank draft or wire transfer of immediately available funds to MHT in satisfaction of the payment due to MHT pursuant to Section 9.2 of the MHT Agreement. On execution and delivery of this Agreement by both Parties and termination by Seller of the MHT Agreement as aforesaid, the Down Payment is non-refundable (including if the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets provided for herein is not completed in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof), but is creditable against the Purchase Price if the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets provided for herein is completed in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Nothing in this Section will limit any rights or remedies that Purchaser may have under Section 6.9 of this Agreement, or for damages in the event of breach of this Agreement by Seller.

Section 3.2 Purchase Price.

(a) The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets shall be $4,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) and shall be comprised of:

(i) $200,000 on account of the Down Payment paid as described in Section 3.1;

(ii) $146,899 for the Qualified Inventory transferred to Purchaser by Seller on the Closing Date; and

(iii) $3,653,101 for all other Purchased Assets.

(b) The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

(i) Seller, Purchaser and Purchaser’s certified public accountants shall complete an inventory as of a date not more than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date to determine the value of the Qualified Inventory to be transferred to Purchaser by Seller on the Closing Date (the “Closing Inventory”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties may by mutual agreement from time to time update the Qualified Inventory and Assumed Contracts for any Contracts for the supply or sale of Inventory or Products that Seller may enter into with third parties after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing with the knowledge and consent of Purchaser.

For the purposes of calculating the Closing Inventory in this Agreement, Qualified Inventory shall be valued at [Redacted – percentage factor used to value Qualified Inventory] of the original value of the Qualified Inventory determined on the weighted average cost method of accounting for inventory, in accordance with GAAP. The Closing Inventory shall not include the value of Unqualified Inventory.

(ii) At the Closing, if the Qualified Inventory shall exceed $146,899, Purchaser shall pay to Seller at Closing an additional amount equal to such excess, or if the Qualified Inventory shall be less than $146,899, Purchaser shall deduct from the amount paid to Seller at Closing an amount equal to such shortfall, with any such additional amount or deduction valued in the manner stated for Qualified Inventory in the preceding paragraph.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall retain all rights to indemnification in respect of a breach of the representation made by Seller in Section 4.12.

(c) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the escrow agent, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, $250,000, in the form of a wire transfer in immediately available funds (the “Closing Escrow”), and shall deliver to Seller the amount of the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and less the Closing Escrow and the Down Payment previously paid by Purchaser to XxXxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP as described in Section 3.1, via wire transfer in immediately available funds. On the date that is six months after the Closing Date, the Parties will instruct the escrow agent in writing to pay to Seller the then amount held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement unless any claims have been made by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.9(a) of this Agreement, in which case an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such unresolved claims will be retained by the escrow agent as provided in the Escrow Agreement and the balance paid to Seller. Any amount so retained by the Escrow Agent will only be paid out in accordance with Sections 3(a) or (b) of the Escrow Agreement.

In addition, with the Seller’s prior consent, Seller shall permit Purchaser to meet with Seller’s significant customers and suppliers.

Section 6.5 Bulk Sales. The Parties waive compliance with all Applicable Laws in respect of bulk sales that may be applicable to the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 6.6 Further Assurances. On and after the Closing Date until the appointment of a liquidator for Seller as described in Section 6.1 which Seller agrees will not occur prior to September 1, 2010, and thereafter, to the extent that such actions are required by this Agreement or the liquidator considers necessary or advisable for the liquidation of Seller until Seller is dissolved, Seller shall from time to time, at the request of Purchaser, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such other instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other actions as Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to more effectively consummate the Contemplated Transactions and to vest in Purchaser good and marketable title to the Purchased Assets, including executing any document necessary to record, maintain or perfect Purchaser’s right and title in the Intellectual Property. Without limiting the foregoing, on and after the Closing Date until the appointment of a liquidator for Seller as described in Section 6.1 which Seller agrees will not occur prior to September 1, 2010, and thereafter, to the extent that such actions are required by this Agreement or the liquidator considers necessary or advisable for the liquidation of Seller until Seller is dissolved, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and to comply with all formalities prescribed by the relevant patent or trademark office or reasonably required by Purchaser (the “Formalities”) resulting in a document or documents evidencing or establishing the assignment, conveyance and transfer of the Seller’s Patents and Seller’s Trademarks to Purchaser that allows the assignment to be fully effective. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any reasonable out of pocket expenses or costs incurred in connection with such cooperation, and Purchaser shall bear all costs and expenses associated with the preparation and presentation of such Formalities and assignment.

Section 6.7 Delivery of Inventory. Seller will deliver the Inventory to Purchaser at Seller’s warehouse where the Inventory is stored (as listed on Schedule 4.12). The Inventory will be delivered on the Closing Date. For clarity, Seller fulfills its obligation to deliver when it has made the Inventory available to Purchaser at Seller’s warehouse where the Inventory is stored. Seller is not responsible for loading the Inventory on Purchaser’s carrier or for clearing the Inventory for export.

Section 6.8 Patent and Trademark Prosecution. After the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the sole right (but not the obligation) to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain all Seller’s Patents and Seller’s Trademarks worldwide at Purchaser’s sole expense (including filing all unfiled confirmatory assignments entered into between Seller (or its predecessors, as the case may be) and Xxxx’x Xxxxxx Income Corporation (formerly Forbes Medi-Tech Inc., a predecessor to Seller) or Novartis prior to the Closing Data confirming the assignment of Seller’s Patents and Seller’s Trademarks to Seller (or its predecessors, as the case may be) (the “Confirmatory Assignments”).

Section 6.9 Indemnification.

(a) By Seller. Subject to Sections 6.9(d), (e) and (f), Seller shall indemnify, reimburse, and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all costs, losses, Liabilities, damages, pending, threatened or concluded lawsuits, deficiencies, claims and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys) (collectively, the “Damages”) to the extent such Damages are incurred in connection with or arise out of (i) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller herein; (ii) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement, in each case without giving effect to any limitation in such representation or warranty based upon the absence of a material adverse effect or any other materiality qualification; (iii) Liabilities related to the Products or Purchased Assets arising out of the operation of the Business prior to the Closing Date (excluding the Assumed Liabilities); and (iv) Product Return Obligations for Products sold by Seller prior to the Closing Date.

(b) By Purchaser. Subject to Sections 6.9(d), (e) and (f), Purchaser shall indemnify, reimburse, and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all Damages to the extent such Damages are incurred in connection with or arise out of (i) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser herein; (ii) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement; and (iii) any Assumed Liabilities; and (iv) the ownership or use of the Products and the other Purchased Assets following the Closing Date.

(c) Damages Net of Insurance. The failure of any Purchaser indemnified party to seek available insurance coverage or insurance proceeds for any Damages otherwise reimbursable by Section 6.9 shall not adversely affect such Purchaser indemnified party’s rights to indemnification in respect thereof under Section 6.9. If, however, the Purchaser indemnified party receives insurance proceeds in respect of any such Damages, the amount of such insurance proceeds less any associated costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in obtaining such proceeds, shall be excluded in determining the amount of Damages subject to an indemnification claim.

(d) Limitations.

(i) No Party will have Liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to claims of breach of any representation, warranty or covenant, contained in this Agreement unless on or before the date that is six months following the Closing Date, the otherwise liable Party is notified by the other Party of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known, and in the case of liability of Seller, in respect of any claims made after the date that a liquidator is appointed for Seller as described in Section 6.1, such claims shall be subject to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and other Applicable Laws applicable to the liquidation and dissolution of Seller. In addition, and notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, in no event shall a Party’s liability for indemnification claims or other claims with respect to, or in connection with, a breach of a representation or warranty under Article IV or V or any other agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement exceed the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

(ii) Except for claims based on Seller’s fraud, no indemnified party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.9 until the aggregate amount of all Damages suffered, incurred or paid by one or more indemnified parties exceeds $12,500 and thereafter to the extent that any Damages exceed $12,500.

(e) Procedure for Indemnification – Third Party Claims. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 6.9(a) or 6.9(b) of notice of commencement of any proceeding against it by a third party (not a Party or Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement), such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim. If the indemnified party fails to notify the indemnifying party within 30 days of receipt of notice of the third party claim, then the indemnity with respect to the subject matter of such claim shall continue, but shall be limited to the damages that would have nonetheless resulted absent the indemnified party’s failure to notify the indemnifying party in the time required above after taking into account such actions as could have been taken by the indemnifying party had it received timely notice from the indemnified party. If such notice is timely given, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes, may assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 6.9 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such proceeding incurred after such notice. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of the proceeding, (1) it will be conclusively established that for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; and (2) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s Consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of legal requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within 30 days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party, provided, however, that the indemnifying party is otherwise obligated to indemnify the indemnified party pursuant to this Section 6.9.

(f) Procedure for Indemnification – Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought.

Section 6.10 Payment of Accounts Payable. Except for those amounts expressly enumerated in Schedule 1.3(e) (as may be updated by the Parties from time to time) as an unpaid accounts payable constituting Assumed Contracts, no later than concurrent with or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Seller shall pay (i) all of its accounts payable that are payable to Persons engaged in the manufacture, shipment or storage of the Inventory and (ii) any other payables which, if not paid, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Purchaser’s conduct of the Business following the Closing.

Section 6.11 Consents. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Purchaser all consents listed on Schedule 4.3.

Section 6.12 Financial Statements. Seller acknowledges that following the Closing Purchaser may seek to obtain an audit of the financial statements of the Business, at Purchaser’s expense, for the year ended December 31, 2009 or such other periods as the Purchaser may reasonably require. Following the Closing, Seller will grant Purchaser and its selected accountant reasonable access to the files, books and records of Seller, including any and all information relating to the Business and Seller’s financial condition, as are reasonably necessary to permit Purchaser to obtain such audit. Further, Seller will request its accountants, at Purchaser’s expense, to cooperate reasonably with Purchaser and its accountant in making available all financial information reasonably requested, including the right to examine all working papers pertaining to all Financial Statements prepared by Seller’s accountants. Subject to the Seller’s intention to dissolve and liquidate following the completion of the sale of the Purchased Assets, Seller will also make available to Purchaser and its agents all management and other appropriate personnel during normal business hours, on reasonable prior notice.

Section 6.13 Seller Change of Name. On the Closing Date, Seller will file articles of amendment changing its corporate name to one that does not include any trade xxxx or trade name included in the Purchased Assets.

Seller will keep Purchaser informed as promptly as practicable in all material respects of the status and details (including material amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. Each Party’s right of termination under Section 9.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of such right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations of the Parties in this Section 9.2 and Sections 10.1 and 10.12 will survive, provided, however, that, if this Agreement is terminated because of a breach of this Agreement by the nonterminating party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the nonterminating party’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party’s right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, pursuant to Section 9.1(f) or 9.1(g), Seller shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days after the date of such termination, pay Purchaser a fee equal to $150,000 in immediately available funds as reimbursement for the fees and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

Accordingly, if Seller fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 9.2, and, in order to obtain such payment, Purchaser makes a claim that results in a judgment against Seller for the amounts set forth in this Section 9.2, Seller shall pay to Purchaser its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 9.2 at the United States prime rate in effect on the date such payment was required to be made (as published in the Wall Street Journal). Payment of the fees described in this Section 9.2 shall not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of breach of this Agreement.

(b) The words “including,” “include” and “includes” are not exclusive and shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; if exclusion is intended, the word “comprising” is used instead.

(d) Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law, including any one or more sections thereof, shall be deemed also to refer to, unless the context requires otherwise, all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(e) Any representation or warranty contained herein as to the enforceability of a contract, including this Agreement, shall be subject to the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(f) The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions hereof.

(g) The disclosures in the Schedules referenced in this Agreement shall relate solely to the representations, warranties or other terms in this Agreement to which they expressly relate and not to any other representations, warranties or terms in this Agreement.

(i) The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” as used in this Agreement means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase does not simply mean “if.”
