For purposes of this Section 5.08(f), the first Fiscal Quarter shall comprise the period from the Closing Date through September 30, 2015. The True-Up Statement shall also include the Sweep Percentage that will be applicable to the next successive Fiscal Quarter.

The Back-up Product True-up Statement shall also include a reconciliation against any remaining amounts held in the Brigatinib Divestiture Account (if applicable) and any debits or sweeps made to or out of such Account.
(v) If the Back-Up Product True-Up Amount calculated pursuant to clause (iv) above is positive for a Fiscal Year, the Company shall pay to Purchaser such Back-up Product True-Up Amount solely to the extent such amount does not exceed the greater of (X) the Applicable Percentage of Net Revenues of Back-up Product for that Fiscal Year and (Y) [***]% of all worldwide Net Sales of the Back-up Product for such Fiscal Year generated by the Company or any of its Affiliates as well as any Third Party, pursuant to any license, commercialization, co-promotion, collaboration, distribution, marketing or partnering agreement (the greater of (X) and (Y) being referred to herein as the “Back-up Product True-Up Cap”).

Any shortfall resulting from the failure of the Net Revenue of the Back-Up Product received by the Company for that Fiscal Year (or the funds available in the Brigatinib Divestiture Account, if applicable) to satisfy payment of the Back-up Product True-Up Amount required to be paid under Section 5.08(f) for that Fiscal Year shall impose no obligation on the Company to make any additional payment to the Purchaser pursuant to this clause (v), and such deficiency shall not carry over to any subsequent Fiscal Year. Payment of the Back-up Product True-Up Amount required to be paid hereunder shall be made by the Company to Purchaser within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt by Purchaser of the True-Up Statement for that Fiscal Year.
(vii) If the Back-up Product True-Up Amount calculated pursuant to clause (iv) above is negative, no further payments need be made by the Company to the Purchaser for that Fiscal Year, and any excess payments made by Company to Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.08(c) based on Net Back-up Product Revenues shall be reimbursed to Company by Purchaser within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt by Purchaser of the True-Up Statement for that Fiscal Year.

Solely upon the consent of the Company (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Purchaser may assign any of its obligations or rights under the Transaction Documents without restriction other than to another pharmaceutical company; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign any of its obligations or rights under the Transaction Documents to a pharmaceutical company in connection with a change of control of Purchaser by virtue of a merger, sale or issuance of stock or the sale of all or substantially all of Purchaser’s assets; provided, further, that Purchaser, notwithstanding such assignment, will remain liable under Section 5.08(f) (solely to the extent of any amount subject thereto during the Fiscal Year as of the date of such assignment) and Section 7.05.
Section 7.05 Indemnification.
(a) The Company hereby indemnifies and holds Purchaser and its Affiliates and any of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses (including all Losses in connection with any product liability claims or claims of infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property rights of any Third Parties) incurred or suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Company in any of the Transaction Documents or the True-Up Statement or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the Company pursuant to any Transaction Document or the True-Up Statement, including any failure by the Company to satisfy any of the Excluded Liabilities and Obligations.
(b) Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds the Company, its Affiliates and any of their respective partners, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by a Company Indemnified Party arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by Purchaser in any of the Transaction Documents or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document.
(c) If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers

served, if any; provided, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.05 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of, or has a material adverse effect on the exercise or prosecution of, substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.05 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of such counsel. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to recover any monetary damages associated with a breach, subject to the other terms and provisions contained in this Agreement.
Section 7.06 No Implied Representations and Warranties.
Each party acknowledges and agrees that, other than the representations and warranties specifically contained in any of the Transaction Documents, there are no representations or warranties of either party or any other Person either expressed or implied with respect to the Assigned Interests or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) Purchaser and its Affiliates, together with its and its Affiliates’ representatives, have made their own investigation of the Product and the Intellectual

Property and are not relying on any implied warranties or upon any representation or warranty whatsoever as to the future amount or potential amount of the Assigned Interests or as to the creditworthiness of Company and (b) except as expressly set forth in any representation or warranty in a Transaction Document, Purchaser shall have no claim or right to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.05 (or otherwise) with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished to Purchaser, any of its Affiliates, or any of its or its Affiliates’ representatives, including any information, documents or material made available to Purchaser and its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ representatives in any data room, presentation, interview or any other form relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 7.07 Independent Nature of Relationship.
(a) The relationship between the Company and Purchaser is solely that of seller and purchaser, and neither Purchaser nor the Company has any fiduciary or other special relationship with the other or any of their respective Affiliates. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to constitute the Company and Purchaser as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other kind of entity or legal form for any purposes, including any Tax purposes.
(b) No officer or employee or agent of Purchaser will be located at the premises of the Company or any of its Affiliates, except in connection with an audit performed pursuant to Section 5.02. No officer, manager or employee of Purchaser shall engage in any commercial activity with the Company or any of its Affiliates other than as contemplated herein and in the other Transaction Documents.
(c) The Company and/or any of its Affiliates shall not at any time obligate Purchaser, or impose on Purchaser any obligation, in any manner or respect to any Person not a party hereto.
Section 7.08 Tax Treatment.
The Purchaser and the Company acknowledge (a) that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, they agree to treat the rights and interests in and to the Assigned Interests that are transferred pursuant to this Agreement as indebtedness subject to the U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4 governing contingent payment debt instruments, (b) that the rights in respect of the Closing Purchase Price, the Additional Purchase Price, and each Second Tranche Purchase Price (if any) represent separate debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (c) that the Purchaser will report original issue discount and interest on each such debt instrument in accordance with the Company’s determination of both the “comparable yield” and the “projected payment schedule” for such debt instrument, which determination shall be subject to the prior good faith consultation by the Company with the Purchaser. For this purpose, the “comparable yield” and the “projected payment schedule” relating to the Assigned Interests may be obtained by contacting the Company at the address set forth in Section 7.03. The parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 7.08 on any tax return or in any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding unless (i) the other parties to this Agreement have consented in writing to such actions, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) the party that contemplates taking such an inconsistent position has been advised by nationally recognized counsel or tax advisors in writing that it is more likely than not that there is no “reasonable basis” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6662- 3(b)(3)) for the position specified in this Section 7.08.

• | Each Transaction Document to which the Company is a party is the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. |
• | The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the compliance by the Company with its obligations thereunder will not, (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company, (ii) result in a breach or default under any material agreement of the Company, (iii) result in a violation of any order binding upon the Company or (iv) to our knowledge, result in or require the creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company under any material agreement of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, any liens and security interests created pursuant to the Transaction Documents are excluded from this clause), and any material contracts or binding orders may be identified in a backup officer’s certificate from the Company. |
• | The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the compliance by each of the Company with its obligations thereunder will not, require any approval from or filing with any governmental authority of the United States, the State of New York, or the State of Delaware, other than the filings and records contemplated by the Transaction Documents to perfect security interests. |
• | The execution and delivery by each of the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the compliance by the Company with its obligations thereunder will not, result in any violation of any federal law of the United States, the law of the State of New York or any regulation thereunder, or the law of the State of Delaware or any regulation thereunder, which, in our experience are applicable to, or relevant in connection with, transactions of the type provided for in the Transaction Documents. |

• | The Article 9 Security Interest in the Joint Concentration Account (to the extent constituting Collateral as defined in the Security Agreement) and the Article 9 Security Interest in the Purchaser Concentration Account will be perfected by control upon the execution and delivery of the Security Agreement and the Deposit Agreement and will rank prior to any other security interest in the Joint Concentration Account (to the extent constituting Collateral as defined in the Security Agreement) and the Purchaser Concentration Account that is not perfected by control under Article 9 of the New York UCC. |
