Consent of Third
Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this
Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any
Governmental Approval, instrument, contract, lease, permit or other agreement or
arrangement (collectively, “Party Right”) or any claim, right or benefit arising

make such an assignment or transfer without the consent of a third party would
constitute a breach or violation thereof or affect adversely the rights of the
Buyer or Seller thereunder; and any transfer or assignment to the Buyer by
Seller of any interest under any such Party Right that requires the consent of a
third party shall be made subject to such consent or approval being obtained. In
the event any such consent or approval is not obtained on or prior to the
Closing Date, Seller shall continue to use all reasonable efforts to obtain any
such approval or consent after the Closing Date until such time as such consent
or approval has been obtained, or Seller has reasonably determined, in good
faith, that it cannot obtain such consent or approval, and Seller will cooperate
with the Buyer in any lawful and economically feasible arrangement to provide
that the Buyer shall receive the interest of Seller, as the case may be, in the
benefits under any such Party Right, including performance by Seller, as the
case may be, as agent, if economically feasible, provided that the Buyer shall
undertake to pay or satisfy the corresponding liabilities for the enjoyment of
such benefit to the extent the Buyer would have been responsible therefor
hereunder if such consent or approval had been obtained. Seller shall pay and
discharge, and shall indemnify and hold the Buyer harmless from and against, any
and all out-of-pocket costs of seeking to obtain or obtaining any such consent
or approval whether before or after the Closing Date. Nothing in this Section
2.6 shall be deemed a waiver by the Buyer of its right to have received on or
before the Closing an effective assignment of all of the Assets nor shall this
Section 2.6 be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Assets any
assets described under Section 1.1.

litigation resulting therefrom, provided that (i) the counsel for the
Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnified
Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party's expense, and
(iii) the omission by any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under
this Agreement except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of
actual notice to the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnifying Party is
materially damaged as a result of such failure to give notice. Except with the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the
defense of any such claim or litigation, shall consent to entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other non-monetary
relief affecting the Indemnified Party or that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or
litigation. In the event that the Indemnified Party shall in good faith
determine that the conduct of the defense of any claim subject to
indemnification hereunder or any proposed settlement of any such claim by the
Indemnifying Party might be expected to affect adversely the Indemnified Party's
Tax liability or the ability of the Buyer to conduct its business (including,
but not limited to, use, license or transfer of the Assets, or any part
thereof), or that the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more
defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that
may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim or any
litigation relating thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all
times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement, negotiations
or litigation relating to any such claim at the sole cost of the Indemnifying
Party, provided that if the Indemnified Party does so take over and assume
control, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such claim or litigation without
the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not accept
the defense of any matter as above provided, the Indemnified Party shall have
the full right to defend against any such claim or demand and shall be entitled
to settle or agree to pay in full such claim or demand. In any event, the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of
any claim or litigation subject to this Section 7.2 and the records of each
shall be available to the other with respect to such defense.

Change in
Control. (a) Buyer Acquired. If
Buyer is acquired by a third party during the period of five (5) years after the
Closing Date, and Buyer thereafter elects not to commercialize the products for
which Seller is entitled to receive the royalty payments set forth in Section
2.2, Seller shall notify in writing Buyer of its election to invoke this Section
of the Agreement.
(b) Appraiser. No later
than thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s notice under 7.7(a),
Buyer and Seller shall mutually select an appraiser (the “Appraiser”) whose
determination of Seller’s Added Value shall be binding upon the Parties only for
the purposes set forth in this Section 7.7. If Buyer and Seller
cannot agree on an Appraiser, Buyer and Seller shall each select an appraiser
that satisfies the qualifications and experience requirements of the Appraiser,
who in turn will select the Appraiser. Appraiser shall possess
professional qualifications and industry experience suitable to the
determination of Seller’s Added Value. Buyer and Seller shall
each pay one-half of the professional fees and expenses of the Appraiser (and of
Buyer’s and Seller’s appraisers, if necessary, as set forth
above). “Seller’s Added Value” means the incremental value above
Buyer’s market capitalization (as of the Closing Date) attributed to the Assets
acquired under this Agreement.
(c) Fee Payable. No later
than ninety (90) days after the Parties’ receipt of the Appraiser’s report
containing the determination of Seller’s Added Value, Buyer shall pay to Seller
an amount (the “Change in Control Fee”) equal to Five Percent (5%) of Seller’s
Added Value.
(d) Accelerated
Vesting. Upon Buyer’s payment to Seller of the Change in
Control Fee set forth in Section 7.7(c), Buyer shall immediately accelerate the
vesting of all remaining unvested, restricted shares granted pursuant to Section
2.2(c), if any.
(e) Release. Upon Buyer’s
payment to Seller of the Change in Control Fee in Section 7.7(c) and Buyer’s
accelerated vesting of restricted shares in Section 7.7(d), Seller shall
contemporaneously deliver to Buyer a duly executed release in favor of Buyer and
its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys,
accountants, and consultants (collectively, the “Released Parties”), in a form
acceptable to Buyer’s counsel, relieving the Released Parties from any further
obligations under Section 2.2.
7.8.
Miscellaneous.

7.8.4.
Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including as to validity,
interpretation and effect, by the internal laws of the State of Florida, without
giving effect to the conflict of laws rules thereof to the extent that the
application of the law of another jurisdiction would be required thereby. Buyer
and Seller hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of Florida and the Federal courts of the United States of America located
in the State, City and County of St. Petersburg, Florida, USA, solely in respect
of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of
the documents referred to in this Agreement, and hereby waive, and agree not to
assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or
enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or
that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable
in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this
Agreement or any of such document may not be enforced in or by said courts, and
the Parties irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or
proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a St. Petersburg, Florida,
State or Federal court. Buyer and Seller hereby consent to and grant any such
court jurisdiction over the person of such Parties and over the subject matter
of any such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in
connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section
7.6, or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and
sufficient service thereof.
7.8.5.
Binding Effect.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties
hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted
assigns.
7.8.6.
Assignment.
This Agreement shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by any Party
hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, provided
that the Buyer may assign this Agreement to any Subsidiary of the Buyer or to
any lender to the Buyer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof as security for
obligations to such lender in respect of the financing arrangements entered into
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and any re-financings,
extensions, re-funding or renewals thereof, provided, further, that no
assignment to any such lender shall in any way affect the Buyer's obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement.
7.8.7.
No Third Party
Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 7.2 with respect to
indemnification of Indemnified Parties hereunder, nothing in this Agreement
shall confer any rights upon any person or entity other than the Parties hereto
and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.
7.8.8.
Amendment;
Waivers. No amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement, and
no waiver hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and
duly executed by the Party against whom enforcement of the amendment,
modification, discharge or waiver is sought. Any such waiver shall constitute a
waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and
shall in no way impair the rights of the Party granting such waiver in any other
respect or at any other time. Neither the waiver by any of the Parties hereto of
a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the
failure by any of the Parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the
provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder,
shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar
nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges
hereunder. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that any Party may otherwise have at law or
in equity. The rights and remedies of any Party based upon, arising out of or
otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement or failure to fulfill any condition shall in no
way be limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of
facts upon which any claim of any such inaccuracy or breach is based may also be
the subject matter of any other representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach. The representations and warranties
of Seller shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Buyer (including but not limited to by any of its
advisors, attorneys, consultants or representatives) or by reason of the fact
that the Buyer or any of such advisors, attorneys, consultants or
representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or
warranty is or might be inaccurate.
